She/her

This was my first OC. She went from being a self-interest Mary Sue to a believable character in Digimon. Her story used to be someone who traveled through each season of Digimon. Now she's locked to the first two seasons and her character is all the better for it. She has parallels with other characters that fits in well with the story. She is very special to me and is the namesake of my screen name on Tumblr, Discord, DeviantArt, ect.

she/they/it

fucked up lil thing!! managed to Come Back Wrong even more than normal undead! basically, dizzy's deal is that they were made by a person trying to make a normal undead (normal undead are basically just people but made of dead thingz and magic instead of alive thingz) but fucked up the process so dizzy came out weird. because of this coming out weird, dizzy feels Off most of the time, and its first momentz of consciousness were terrifying for it. because of this, and also because dizzy quickly came to blame her creator for her existence (fair), dizzy spent the first few weekz of her life hunting down and trying to kill her creator, before finding him dead in the middle of a desert. currently, she's trying to find a burial place for him (she doesn't know this but she is seeking closure bcs she didnt get to kill him, so she feels like her goal is unfulfilled) but the person helping her is pretty untrustworthy (wants the body for experimentation re: making undead) so shes struggling w that a bit. character-wise, dizzy stresses responsibility for one's actionz as a core value of its, and it comes across as very short/blunt in conversation. dizzy struggles with an ongoing feeling of a lack of identity, which causes them significant distress.

dizzy looks like a big generic dinosaur skeleton (actually kind of small for a dinosaur skeleton thing - abt 6'7 at the highest point of its body, that being the hip)(it does not stand upright, but is bipedal) covered in iridescent, viscous black goo. her skull, handz, feet, and tail tip aren't ever obscured by the goo though. its spine has spikes going all the way down it, except for near the tail tip.

Valentine (He/him):

Why is he a failboy? Valentine is an android built to sell products. Usually, advertisement androids are meant to be trustworthy and charismatic. Not him. He never shuts up, is self centred, and genuinely believes the products he’s selling are good. They’re not. He’s a loser. He sells zero product and gets zero robo-bitches. The only reason people don’t dismantle him is because if they do, he brings up laws and how much his creators would sue you. Also a pink bitch named breakfast.

Why should he win? It’s the only thing he’d get right in his life. Maybe give him one thing to be justifiably proud of… should being a failboy be worth pride?

Other info: His voice claim is Neil Cicierega 8/

Tourniquet (He/him):

Why is he a failboy? Tourniquet is my OC who takes the role of the Autobot Medic of the Cybertronian Elite Guard in the TFA continuity. On the surface, you may think being a high ranking medic who works in direct order of the leader of the entire planet is kind of a win boy standing in life. However, Tourniquet has never done proper field work before, this being his first job, so the nerves are killing him over and over. He's oh so so so pathetic and often has the luck and demeanor of an anime girl where he is comically tripping and going "kyaah!" while holding a tray full of medical supplies. He can be competent. In fact, he's very competent when he's not panicking. Problem being that the bar for making him panic is so low that it might as well be touching the ground. He's very reminiscent of the tumblr post about a guy screaming and crying and firing 6 bullets with extreme accuracy and reloading and firing more bullets with accuracy. He's good, great at what he does, even. But he fails so hard at being normal. He walks around calling everyone by full name rank and title and even attaching sir at the end regardless of gender. Because he's that worried about everything. Again, mostly a worry for no reason, but he's so worried all the time that it makes him fail basic tasks when everyone has definitely seen him perform immensely complex and taxing tasks.

Why should he win? He's my sweetest little boy forever. He's so kind and nice and would love to talk your ear off if you let him about whatever came to his mind next. Medic stuff, history, how much he respects you and what you do (even if you're not all that important- he's a good hype man!) or just anything at all! He has that classic "we are so lucky he is so nice and pathetic" type thing going on where with his outlier ability he could cause some real genuine harm if he wanted, but he is so meek and respectful he would start crying at the idea of hurting someone instead of helping them. He's even the kind of guy to start patching up the enemy if they were all alone, because he can't stand to see anyone hurt. You see he even fails at being a good Autobot despite that being all he aspires to be..!

Other info: (Visual descriptor) Tourniquet is an Autobot Medic OC for the Transformers Animated continuity. He turns into a motorcycle, and has large vials on energon on his back. Being a medic, he is colored almost entirely red and white. He is a member of the Cybertronian Elite Guard, bearing three stripes on either side of his Autobot insignia to display this fact. He has a slightly nervous expression. (Feel free to delete this part if this is planning to go on the post) I've submitted Tourni to multiple of the oc tournaments you mentioned in your post, so sorry if you see his face a lot these next few days lol. I am hoping for at least one win for the love of God

[quoted from the page]

This is a grassroots bundle by indie devs who want to help Palestinians.

All profit from this bundle will be donated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The UNRWA has provided food assistance for over one million Palestinians, and continues to do so in the territories with heavy destruction. They also provide emergency mental and physical health protection for those in the region. https://www.unrwa.org/gaza-emergency

Indie games are unique in that they can tell stories not seen in AAA or other games. We pour our life experiences into our games and share a piece of ourselves with the world. Palestinian game developers are no different in this aspect, but have the added challenges of limited access to basic services, like clean water, electricity, medical care, and food security. They live under Israeli authority that discriminates and subjugates Palestinians to the point of persecution and apartheid, simply for being Palestinian. Furthermore, they develop games without all the resources that come with being in a western hub for game development.

Palestinian game developer Rasheed Abueideh did exactly that when he made Liyla and the Shadows of War, which tells a story of a little girl who lives in Gaza during the 2014 war, in which 30% of civilian casualties were children. Liyla and the Shadows of War was showcased at IndieCade and A MAZE and earned numerous award nominations, including a win in Excellence in Storytelling at the International Mobile Gaming Awards Middle East/North Africa.

This bundle is pay-what-you-want (above $5 U.S. dollars) for Liyla and the Shadows of War, and you will receive hundreds of additional games, assets, and soundtracks graciously donated by game developers and media creators around the world for free. The bundle will run through Friday, June 11th. Together, we can raise funds for UNRWA for food and medical assistance for Palestinians AND highlight a game developer who is directly affected by the cause we are rallying behind.

The bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water. Indigenous water protectors are fighting to protect their land, but the drones are overhead and the police are militarizing.

President-Elect Biden has the power to stop this project on day one. He can review the permits granted by Trump and halt Line 3 construction immediately.
