Day 7 ☆ Occupation Did they work/have a job or trade of any kind? Did they have a mentor figure there? Aishi’s work was mainly as an assistant in the magic shop, under his aunt’s supervision. His reward for advancing in apprenticeship was to be allowed to take on more complex jobs and getting some increase in his share of pay. On the side though, he tried other things to fill in his free time and pockets, either out of boredom or curiosity: busking in the market streets, joining some theatrical play, learning and selling handmade crafts… He marveled at what he could do on his own if he could let go of the embarrassment of being still learning. His habit of seeking out varied specialists to access their high quality knowledge of whatever subject he wondered abou had followed him from his hometown. That is how, when the plague spread, he sought out Julian’s knowledge and asked to learn from him. That was when Aishi felt only knowing magic wasn’t enough, specially considering how his aunt perished from the illness. Tag: @arcana-echoes
OCs as Benders ATLA / LOK inspired Alright I have avatar worms bc of the new movie so suffer with me by imagining my OCs as benders pls and thank you (I am basing this off of the later LOK advances in bending so do with that what you will) Alec is primarily a water bender first and foremost but her parents were water and earth benders so she learned both techniques at the same time which effects her fighting strategies, and then later learning from Leon and Camia gave her even more of a balance Jamil is the group’s non bender, he doesn’t get powers in any universe LMAO but he’s their “boomerang guy” just with a guitar Leon is an air bender, is ridiculously OP, like Toph but air and fights differently than most air benders (and benders in general) since he grew up alone but picks up on how Camia fights as well Camia is a fire bender and as normal when her abilities show she’s put into intense training immediately, as a result she’s very rigid in how she fights but she’s learned to relax more with other styles over the years For my pirates, Meredith is potentially another non bender BUT I could also see her as a late bloomer earth bender (which is ironic considering she’s on the water all the time) If any of my OCs would be the avatar it would be Saoirse LMAO but in the case of them being a normal human I’d say they’re an air bender but they’re doing things with the atmosphere no one’s ever heard of literal next level bending Rodrigo is a fire bender please send thoughts and prayers as he’s absolutely lighting shit up every moment of every day on accident and on purpose and fights like an earth bender too because of Jacqui Jacqui is an earth bender (also cursed to be on the water all the time) but he specializes in metal bending for sure, is not immune to fighting like Rodrigo sometimes and Hates it Edited to add please jump on the train with me and share what type of bender your OC is
height references… This is subject to change but I’m just gonna keep this post around bc inevitably whenever I go to write anything I forget how tall everyone is!! Soooo Muriel ( 6'10 ) and bird-form Sadrei ( 4'8 ) come in with the biggest difference at 26 inches. That is… yeah. that’s a lot. Muriel is very careful around her LOL Julian ( 6'4 ) and Cardigan ( 5'8 ) have a half-foot height difference – not bad! The width difference, though, that’s another story Lucio ( 6'0 in heels) and Cass ( 5'6 ) have the smallest difference, but it’s enough for Lucio to feel tall and that’s what counts (pun not intended) Might as well list the ages as well, so the info is all in one place – Cardigan ( 47 ) // Julian ( 38 )* difference 9 years Muriel ( 33 )* // Sadrei ( 31 ) difference 2 years Lucio ( 39 )** // Cass ( 28 ) difference 11 years * Using t his r eddit post for the M6 ages
Day 5 ☆ The aunt Credits: Illustration from LOTM by copper038 on lofter Background illustration by Arjun Mehta on pinterest Edit by me Event by @arcana-echoes How did your OC get the shop in Vesuvia? Was it given to them by their aunt or other family member? The owner of the magic shop, Aishi’s aunt, welcomed her immigrating nephew as an apprentice for years, but her priority had always been fulfilling her coven’s missions. To begin with, she had come to Vesuvia voluntarily for their research. Though she managed her shop with care, had loyal customers and made home in Vesuvia for a decade, as soon as her investigations there were done and The Coven needed a member to travel on duty to elsewhere, she did not hesitate. Her nephew had grown to a fine witch under her guidance, and was much more attached to life in Vesuvia than she was. There was no need for her to close the shop and disappear without a word, as she would have done if she was on her own. Aishi said he could keep the shop’s doors open and she could come visit whenever she missed him. His aunt got emotional when faced with the prospect of having a home to return to and accepted. Sadly, she never got to leave. As she made her travel preparations, she was aflicted with the illness that would later be called a plague, from which no cure was known.
I commissioned my dear friend @thaliraes to draw my OC Yue and Muriel, from The Arcana. They have been living with me for such a long time, and this is the first time I have the chance to keep them together 🥹🥹🥹 Thali, honey, thank you so much for bringing me such joy! I’m speechless 🥹🩷 (And if you want to know more about Yue and Muri, you can read my fanfiction about them here .)
Day 6 ☆ Friends “ I know how lonely you feel… but in the future you have people by your side that care about what you feel and what you have to say.” “Really? What do I have to do for them to like me?” “Nothing. You can just be you.” “Promise?” “Yes, I pinky swear. You will be loved for who you are, not for what you can do.” Aishi struggled to keep friendships when younger due to the pressure on his shoulders to be a high achiever making him too tense to be sincere. In the moments he did show vulnerability and act sincere, his oversharing and intense affection to even the most superficial of bonds icked people, but he couldn’t help it, he was a sad kid with family issues and no self regulation skills. Staying around the real him meant embracing acting as a stand in second brain sometimes, and this emotional labor repelled people and prevented what would mean genuine connection. As a result, he learned to mask and read well the social cues, acting accordingly. Afterwards, his classmates thought he had come around, but it was just repression. He felt increasingly burnt out and resentful he was thought of as endearing and was never outcast again when pretending to be well adjusted. The few he felt relieved to be with were the neighborhood retired professors, since they didn’t care whether he was moody or cheerful so long he made interesting enough remarks, questioned enough to show interest but didn’t reach a burdensome level, and persevered through long, often egocentric, monologues. Though he approached them with ulterior motives, due to hearing of their rumored rare books and items and feeling so curious he wanted acess to it, and also due to the social elevation he would have if he was acknowledged by them even as they turned down everyone else’s request to be taken as a disciple, he came to truly care for them and be cared for by them, to some extent. Their eccentric personalities made him feel normal, and their tales about places and customs from even far away kept his world and his hopes from shrinking to just his city and the future laid out for him. To his mom, though, this was seen as bad influence, and she interfered in the time he could spend with them. In Vesuvia, he had a fresh start and a new mind frame. He wasn’t restricted by any external pressure anymore, and was finally free to explore, but traumas are traumas and his internal sense of pressure to not allow himself to be “too emotional”, “too boring”, “too clingy” or any kind of “too much” remained. He debuted socially with an enthusiastic, humorous, light hearted and attentive persona he carefully handcrafted for his new life with hopes of becoming his ideal self. When he couldn’t keep it up due to how forcing it still drained him, he temporarily self isolated, and as soon as he recovered some energy, he went back to keeping contact with all of the many new friends he made. This cycle continued without resentment this time, as pretending to be someone he didn’t feel like was a choice made of hope and not desperation. He did feel like to his friends in Vesuvia, it wouldn’t matter which version of him they got, but by now he was convinced he was much more fun when he forced himself than when he presented his never healed side that felt unloved since he was born. Asra was the first friend he let see through him. Well, actually, Asra saw through him whether he liked it or not, he just choose to keep Asra around after that, instead of ghosting them. Becoming friends with Asra was comprised of bonding when his mask was on, feeling triggered by how bad Asra was the opposite of him, Asra not letting Aishi self isolate when he didn’t want Asra to see his facade crumble, Aishi being positively surprised with Asra’s acceptance of the aspects he least liked in himself, and feeling comfortable to show more near them (though not the abandonment issues. Those triggered Asra’s avoidance instead…) The confidence he gained from Asra’s reassuring acceptance integrated into his other relationships too, and he became a much healthier friend, ceasing the self isonation when not in high spirits. Except for the dreadful growing fear of letting someone close to him know how much he cared and how bad he wished for them to remain in their life, and these being the reasons they would leave, he then had no issues connecting genuinely with people. @arcana-echoes
Echoes of the Past #10: Cuisine Whoops, I’ve fallen behind a little on my posting! gonna work on remedying that today… Before the Plague, one of the few good things in Cass’s life that didn’t come with strings was food. Not like fancy appetizers or exotic and expensive dishes but just, like. Solid food. Food that’s good and hearty. Bread, soup, that kind of thing. As a young child and even into his teenage years, Cass would visit the kitchens and hang out with the cooks, eat the veggie scraps, try the bread. That kind of thing. He wasn’t really supposed to, but nobody could really stop him either. After the Plague, amnesiac Cassidy didn’t remember any of this. Food was food. She made it for herself and Asra, of course, but it was really just something she had to do. The thing she really enjoyed was making chocolates to sell at the market. This was something she picked up during the long weeks when Asra wasn’t around, and there was something very satisfying about making all the little details work, applying finesse to it. No chocolate was quite the same, there was quite a variety, and the resulting chocolates were very much works of art. She didn’t really eat them, herself. It was just the act of making it, making them look the way she wanted, that was satisfying. She didn’t know this, but this scratched a similar itch for her as designing court outfits did for pre-Plague Cass. allll about the presentation, the uniqueness, the detail work. @arcana-echoes
Day 15: Freebie! (Fears and Choices) Mantra- Mantra has a big fear of forgetting little things. To her, the little things are what makes life so special. So unique. And the thought of forgetting even the smallest detail of a story or memory, it genuinely scares her. Mantra also fears her old self. Was she a better person before she died? What if she’s a worse now than she was before? What if she won’t be able to escape her own shadow? This is the main drive of her decisions and choices. Hoping that she’ll turn out better than her old self did. She wants to escape her old identity. How she used to he known. And because of this, her relationship with Asra is even more strained when she learns that she died. Specter- Specter has a huge fear of insects. Especially parasitic ones. Physically can’t stand being in the same room as them. Will scream bloody murder that will echo through the palace and throughout Vesuvia if you try to put him near one. Valdemar should know, they tried as a prank. Found out when putting him of beetle feeding duty and ended up with ringing ears for a half hour. Also, due to this. He hates Vlastomil and any of his worms. Specter doesnt really of a fear but more of an obsession with who he used to be. More specifically, how he died and his life leading up to his death. He hates being seen as less than. As if he doesnt know anything when he knows he used to. This obsession is what causes him to make the worst decisions even when he knows it may harm him or those around him. This also spreads to his relationship with Valdemar. Originally starting as curiosity with their involvement manifesting into an obsession with Valdemar themself.
