It's been a long time coming by now... everybody meet Russell, my Lost Boys OC!!!
He was a tattoo artist who moved to Santa Carla from San Francisco in the 60s, and the LBs were very fond of his work and decided that they HAD to turn him because having the option to get a tattoo whenever they wanted was too cool LMAO. He's hot-headed, creative, and a bit too witty for his own good.
MORE RAMBLING AND FUN FACTS UNDER THE CUT
He lost his tooth in a fight a few months before he moved to Santa Carla, which meant he was one fang down when he first turned. The LBs helped him get a sick golden prosthetic to replace it, and he now flaunts it with pride.
When people out of the group ask him about the single fang, he always just claims it's because "he's Fang" (he made his surname his entire personality once he joined the LBs)
He has a conversational understanding of Cantonese.
In a modern setting he would be diagnosed with ADHD, Dyscalcula, and very severe insomnia. He's wholly unaware that he has any of these conditions currently.
VERY smart-mouthed and witty, he’s constantly roasting the LBs and getting roasted right back
He lets Laddie color in his tattoos with markers and sometimes draws temporary ones on Laddie's arm 🥹
His birth name is David. That was not a fun conversation to have with the LBs.
He's mildly allergic to tomatoes but that doesn’t stop him from eating them
He's a little bit jealous of Michael (don't tell anyone though...)
(ALSO PROVABLY IMPORTANT TO MENTION: MY VERSION OF MARKO GOES BY SHE/HIM PRONOUNS. That’s why he’s referred to as ‘she’ in the relationship chart!)
It was a warm summer evening in Santa Carla, a slight breeze flowing through the air as many of the shops along the boardwalk began to pack up for the night. Many, except for one- the records store, ‘Santa Carla Records’, still has its lights on with a lone employee rooming the quaint shop, seemingly taking stock of inventory.
His gaze flickered between a clipboard and the shelves, checking off and noting down what they did and didn’t have, picking up a vinyl every now and then to check its condition before moving onto the next.
He was so engrossed in the task, muttering to himself under his breath as he realized some teenager stole another walkman cassette when he wasn’t looking, that he didn’t hear the bell above the front door ring, jumping nearly a foot in the air when he turned to a costumer that had suddenly appeared behind him.
“SHIT- Fucking- gah-“ He startled, nearly his dropping his dropping his clipboard but managing to catch it after a bit of fumbling. Once awkwardly cleared his throat once he realized there was no threat, straightening himself up and plastering a well-practiced costumer service smile onto his face. “Welcome to Santa Carla Records! Best- and only- record store in town! How can I help you to-.. night?”
Do YOU have a Lost Boys oc? Do YOU like receiving free art? Would YOU like said Lost Boys oc to be drawn? Then boy do I have a deal for you!
If you reblog this post with your oc (either with reference images of their design or perhaps a detailed description of their design) I shall doodle them !!!
Better yet, I’ll doodle them with a tlb character of your choice! You can specify if you want the movie or musical version of said character :] (or if you’d like I can draw them with my own oc- who you can learn about over at @/santacarlarecords)
(Dropping a follow as well is not required but would be appreciated if you’d like to teehee)
This is Eddie! Eddie is a Dhampir (He's half-human and half-vampire)! He lived with his dad as a human in Tampa,Florida until he was 13. Once he turned 13, he started to experience some interesting vampiric changes.
So he was shipped off to live with his vampire mother Clara and her weird familiar Maurice. The three of them travelled the country, hiding out in different vampire hot spots all across America before they landed in Santa Carla!
His relationship with his mother, Clara is strained. Eddie just can't seem to understand her or what they're constantly running from. This misunderstanding leads to frustration and arguments, which may or may not push him into the arms of a certain vampire gang in Santa Carla!
He may or not have a crush on a certain younger Emerson brother (It's Sam. He has a crush on Sam Emerson)
