I made a post on my Instagram story talking about my headcanon that as soon as the sun goes down Terence IMMEDIATELY gets sleepy (he’s up before sunrise and goes to bed at sundown if I recall correctly due to dust keeper duties). He’s so sleepy he’s gonna drop like a fly. Tink take him to bed he can’t stay up all night like you can!!

They should have a sleepover :33

[ Category: Misc OCs ]

: NEW TO BLOG : | This guy is a very old OC that I've had for a very long time now, he's gone through re-designs and such when I was active on DeviantART, but since leaving that place I never really touched on Stranger's design since then. So using the recent ref to use AS reference for the new one with a completely different character overhaul, I can officially say that he's finished and I can just refer to his new overall character and bio.

INFO

Name: Terence Species: Human General Personality: Anxious, scared, shy, paranoid, flustered, embarrassed, protective, organised with supplies, a clean freak Height: 5ft "6" Relationship Status: Single

Extra Info:

Before his coma, Terence was on top of his game at work, he was able to tell suspects were lying just by facial expressions, even their stance to certain questions or statements; When he's in the middle of stand-offs or arrests, he's actually very efficient with a gun, his aim was one of the best in his ranks. Of course all changing after his incident, the only thing he seems to have only remember by instinct it to hold a gun along with his almost perfect eagle-eye aim, with the inability to remember why he could hold such a "dangerous thing"

His diet used to mostly consist of black coffee with simple egg mayonnaise sandwich every lunch break, and then just coming home to smoking a cigarette and a glass of whiskey before bed, but since moving to a smaller community care home, his therapy and medication has somewhat helped him eat a little more healthier and balanced diet as instructed by his care nurse who mostly visits to help him clean around the house or cook since he's unable to do so much of that anymore due to his crippling anxiety and chronic pain

Since befriending a woman in her 50's, Alyssa, they have been almost inseparable since; Terence met Alyssa in the diner she works at out of "punk hours", as she refers to going around town being loud and having a good time in her free time, and they just decided to have a chat one day when he mentioned his time in the local police force. Catching her attention with that story and knowing he used to be a cop, she would always invite him to join her one day on a trip to the shooting range to "prove his skills", he always politely declines as, despite somehow still knowing how to handle a gun, he finds himself feeling uncomfortable doing so every time

Most of his family are either living in other countries or have passed away from health complications or other means, the only person he knows who is still somewhat "maybe" alive is his brother who moved away to move closer to his wife's family elsewhere; Terence never really spoke to his brother prior to his coma, but a little after somehow finding out, his brother did in fact reach out in recent years to check how things are. Unable to visit or anything but they do text and call each other frequently when they can. His mother is alive, however Terence has cut contact with her years ago due to a lot of emotional torment growing up, not that she ever reached out to him to see if her son was ok or even alive, not like he remembers her much anyways. Terence mostly looked up to his father more than anything, as he was also a detective before being fatally wounded in action. Terence's fond memories of his father persevered even after his coma and he's grateful every day that he can remember his old man still, even if he's not alive to see him anymore.

Addition to family, Terence joined a career of detective work and police investigations because of his father, he was always inspired by him and wanted to be a good person, contributing to society to hopefully make it a better place for others. He also took in the family dog after his father passed because it favoured him a lot more than the mother; Terence always loved his dad's dog since he saved it from the streets when it was only a couple months old from an abusive household that neglected it. His father always loved the Blue nose Pitbull Terrier and so it sort of passed onto Terence as well, he took care of the dog until it passed away from old age a few years ago

His friend, Alyssa, owns a motorbike and is part of a biker gang who are actually very good and supportive people; She introduced Terence to them once and even went around the city just enjoying the scenery before arriving at a little but well-known pub, he had a good time however drinking is definitely something he does not wanna risk while he still takes meds, but he did a good job winning a game of darts. After all that once they took him home, he and Alyssa decided to stick around and just chat for a few hours before he went to bed

His schedule with his part-time carer is; They usually they come around 7 or 8am to help prepare his breakfast and coffee, return lunch time with dinner and to help clean up about 4 or 5. Terence always has reminders for his medication, bath time or when it's time for bed as without them he will forget, or lose track of time to the point where it messes up the routine, potentially making him spiral down into delirium. Therapy recommended and advised he ran a system with that and every day when a carer visits, is always reminded by them to make sure he checks his alarms every day

Despite being very anxious and finds it hard for himself to socialize including online, he did actually join a forum on a small website that posts nice little stories and works of art, it is a small online community full of those who suffer from similar experiences to Terence, abuse survivors, physical or mental injuries and traumas and so on. It has definitely helped him feel a little safe and at home, and there have been many who have even helped give advice, ideas and such so he can write his own little stories, which he finds as a coping mechanism to escape reality for a little while. There was one woman who used to speak to him so much before suddenly disappearing and lost contact with her altogether since he only ever spoke to her on the site; He sometimes ask other users about this woman but either no one knows what happened or that some whacky rumour about her being abducted was spreading around in the forums, they were all close so even they don't know what happened either, hence why it makes Terence a bit nervous that his past as a detective could be coming back to bite him

His old colleagues back at the station still communicate with him and hang out with him from time to time despite not really remembering the things they worked on together all that much, especially memories becoming more hazy when he tries to push himself to remember too much; Different cases, identifying, missing person's cases and so on, but they tend to enjoy reminding him of the cases he worked hard on and how much entertainment he was, despite being such a stoic and nonchalant individual, he knew his humour, which he sometimes tries to replicate now despite how times have changed. Him included, however, they never stop coming around to see him when they can, as they are pretty much one of the only few people in his life he has left, if not for Alyssa randomly coming into his life one day

During the time he was in a coma from his injuries, people who he helped, mates of his included, even troubled individuals who turned to the life of crime but managed to get the help they needed because of him, would usually always send flowers and get well soon cards; So the time when he did eventually wake up, and despite not really remembering all of them or having blurry snippets of broken memories of his life prior, it made him feel a little more at ease waking up to the world as a different person. Some had given him their numbers, others would sometimes check on him from time to time, of course not all were great however, hearing about one of the best detectives being out cold for a while and eventually handing in his badge for health reasons was the greatest news for the scummiest of crooks

Has taking a sudden liking to plants unlike his old self, in his home he has a few plant pots mostly of simple roses and even a little succulent, although one day he plans to get a cat as not only is it a recommendation for those who suffer from health injuries or memory issues, especially those who don't have family members or loved ones who can visit them frequently, but also so he doesn't become too lonely if he either can't go out and see his friends or if they are too busy to come over. Though there is a little shelter nearby of one senior Exotic shorthair Persian cat who seems heavily close and protective over a Minskin kitten, he may consider getting those two as he's found himself being a little over-protective and clingy towards them too, he'll just need to get rid of the plants just in case the plants in his home are toxic to them

He loves his trench coat, he loves it a lot and vaguely remembers wearing it a lot at his job since it's also a stereotypical staple for a detective to wear one, however even after those days being over, he still feels safe and secure and tries to wear it whenever he feels he needs to or when the anxiety starts becoming a bit too overwhelming for him. Although it does startle him when a "sketchy individual" would occasionally suddenly bolt since they just assume he's back on the job or something. He's not, he just wants to keep something that was pretty much his "identity" at this point

Stranger was a very hardworking detective for his time, always on it and focuses deep into different types of cases he gets assigned to whenever he was needed, of course with the incident he had and all has completely changed his life forever; He's not the stoic and skilled detective he was known as anymore and has to pretty much live with the side effects of his coma, he does wish he still kept up with his old life, but knowing he's found a friend who can really expose him to a normality of sorts and tries his hardest to get over or at least cope with the fears and everything that came with it all. He actually started referring to himself as "Stranger" because the first couple years or so he would stare at his reflection for hours and never recognize who the person staring back at him was, he's not the same man when he woke up that day, and knowing he had to live with that reality made him feel hopeless, useless, inadequate, everything that his older self was not. As of recent years however, things have been looking up, people who he was close with never left his side, it was only time and busy schedules that get in the way of being able to be there for him all the time, and slowly each day he tries to get out there to actually land a job for himself, albeit most likely a small job and that being something that caters to his requirements as he's always recovering, but at least it's a start to a new life ahead of him.

The only thing he can do now is to look back at that life, learn from it and work with the new life he has. He knows he can give Alyssa a shout whenever he needs it most since she will always no doubt be available whenever she is needed, or even just wanted. They are best friends for life, even Stranger's former colleagues can see how much she has helped him, despite being such a troublemaking extroverted party-goer.

Another new ref for an old OC that I kind of just stopped paying attention to for some reason, when having trouble with inspiration and feeling demotivated all the time happens with me, even to the point of finding everything in my life pointless in the end, I just end up not bothering with art or anything for a long time til suddenly I feel like doing something again.. Of course not as of recently, I am glad my motivation is really kicking me into shape to get on with these OC refs and stuff, and of course still struggling to find work despite the prior experience I've had in my former workplace, you'd think I'd get somewhere right about now. Either way, til I finally get lucky or even just get anywhere with my life, I'll just keep focusing on OCs and art from time to time til I get there I guess, just wish it was soon otherwise I am heavily considering more drastic decisions and thoughts. This is all I've got of course, so I'll just keep doing it til I've had enough s'pose.

No doubt this will not be the last ref you'll see of me, I still have a lot more to go before I can say I am finished with just the basics, I have more things to work on after OC refs if I wanna try my hand at properly fleshing out these worlds I've created for them all.
