32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

Your question is SO perfectly timed...!! My writer friend and I released a horror Visual Novel game just 4 days ago. 👀✨

And we picked Luke and Belvan as protagonists for the game!

The reason to them being chosen is that one's the Brain and the other's the Brawn. Gotta play the game to find out which is which! >:3c

Haha I had a feeling you might be interested in her!

Joan Brown - Age 40, occupation around humans, cleaning lady for the local police. It's a good job that gets her excellent intel, especially if she is asked to help clean up old crime scenes. Locally renowned in the area by the night time denizens for the last twenty five years, she's known for being quite fair in her dealings with non-garou. Speaking of garou, she's a Fianna, the Irish clan of werewolves and one of the more respected members of the local werewolf hub, which is called a Caern. Her Garou name is "Bright Eye". Under that eye patch is a bit of silver from Nuada infused with spiritual energy. She keeps it covered with that eyepatch as extended use of the eye drains her and tires her out. Very few know exactly what the eye does, but the stories of how she acquired it say that when she first changed into a werewolf a powerful dark spirit ripped out her eye as it had heard that the newest clan Fianna member would help to drive out the dark with just her eyes. This happened in 1974, and in 1976 she returned to the Dublin Caern with the new silver eye, her then pack backed up the story and from there she just grew into a bit of a local legend. She's very keen on keeping Werewolf/Changeling relations good in the area so she's almost always asked to look into disputes and issues that involve them. Rumors persist that she has fae ancestors, but that isn't too uncommon with the Fianna. She's had her eye on Joan since she joined the caern, and when she was approached by a priestess of the caern about the strange occurrences with the changeling court she picked her personally to be her assistant, a hunch or more accurately something that involves her arcane eye told her that Ilsa would be the only person in the caern able to help her with this investigation.

Ilsa Bierhals - Age 32, occupation around humans, bartender. She hears a lot of good gossip, and also learns a lot of the troubles of the local people this way. She's been at the Caern for three years after leaving the Central Park Caern, in New York. There was a rumor that four of her friends had made their way to Ireland and she desperately wanted to reconnect with them, especially one. Ilsa keeps to herself at the Caern, to the point most don't even know who she is or what her garou name is. That garou name happens to be "Silver-tongue", and her clan is Shadowlord, a group known for political machinations. This part of the story highlights the first time she has gone on a mission with another Garou since joining the Caern. There is a good reason as to why she keeps to herself, one that most garou know by looking at her. She's what they call a Crinos-born, a werewolf born of the forbidden relationship between two werewolves. Crinos-born are highly discriminated against in Garou society as it is considered an incestuous relationship. They sometimes have a host of physical, and neurological issues. Ilsa's issue is pretty straightforward, she has a third eye, which she conceals under her bandana. Strangely the eye is not a burden to her as it can pierce the veil between worlds and show her shadows of what the spirits and energies of the area are doing when she opens it. Her other issue is that friend I mentioned, in 1992 Ilsa was part of a pack where three of the eight members died destroying a wyrm hive. The other four were so grievously injured their tribes (Black Furies, and Bonegnawers) took them to a place of healing in Canada the only one left conscious at the time was Ilsa, causing rumors about what must have really happened. Ilsa was also injured during this mission, but people tend to gloss over that fact as she did not die from her injuries or require extreme care. She doesn't really talk about her missing friends, because she was in a relationship with one of them and as a Crinos-born, it would be something other garou would kill her for. A week previous to this story, she and her former lover finally reconnected but something felt off to Ilsa about the whole meeting. There were apologies, and um...more than apologies, and a lot of making up but the whole situation is bothering her for some reason. Can't quite put her finger on the reason though. Other Stuff - Fun fact I don't often talk about, these are all characters I used to play with my friends in Werewolf the Apocalypse, there are of course new characters and stuff I made up for the comics but a majority of the cast are people I played in games back in the 1990s, which is one of the reasons the setting and year is near Samhain 1999. And just for funsies, here is some EXTREMLY old artwork (2006) for the three werewolves in this story when they were much younger, and happier (except Aleksandra, she's always been the soft goth/punk sadgirl)

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways Oh many! I have a huge appreciation and love for many styles! I do love messy scribbles with stylized anatomy and I wish I could be more free. Messy free sketchbook sketches, and cartoony styles with bold colors. Abstract art also can be so cool. Ahh there are so many great ones!

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by A lot of things :D O often hear my art gives lo-fi vibes and as much as I get it I also hate it and lo-fi has never inspired me. I also hear often that my art and characters remind people of other series, and non of them have been an inspiration. I heard it gives "they both die at the end" vibes, but I only just recently read the book after I heard it so often. Or people say Tao looks like Asahi. And as much as Haikyuu def has been an inspo the last years, and my fanart in this fandom has helped me a lot, Asahi was never an inspo! He is my least favorite Haikyuu character. And so many more I can't even count. I'm glad when people can relate to my art and see and feel themselves in my pieces, but when people just compare it to other franchises it just feels lazy and biased. You see what you want to see and project it. I get it, but it can be annoying :D

Me seeing a 1 notification in my inbox.

Now onto the question: 

“What would STOP your OC from Doing The Right Thing in a tense situation?”

Fear. One hundred percent it is fear of rejection, fear of loneliness. She will not do what’s right in that situation because she doesn’t want to be rejected by those around her especially those who she cares about. If someone was looking for a particular answer from her, and she was torn with the decision she would try to answer in a way that pleases the person she cares about. It was implied in the comic she wanted to hide she was a werewolf from the group because she knew it would frighten them. That is not something I pulled off very well but it is there. When it comes to action though, she rarely thinks through her approach. Which is bad considering she’s a seer who is supposed to think out a lot of things before rushing into danger. As we saw in the comic as soon as she was able to, she pulled herself together and took on three (at the time) opponents at once. Only winning for a time because she got the drop on them, and her hammer is hella magical. When the fourth much stronger member of their party showed up she was thoroughly screwed. https://eternitydreamscomic.tumblr.com/post/63433504804

17. Does your OC have an enemy? What happened between them? Is it mutual or one-sided? Is it petty or serious? Is one party seeking revenge? Does one person want the other dead or are they content to hate them from afar? 

Oh man, does she ever. I actually have a prose prequel to the comic that sets up how she ended up with the band. But she does, in fact have an enemy. Her greatest enemy and source of most of her troubles. The Baby Yaga.

I really need to stop and draw out that old prose entry. I'll put a bit of it under the cut in a little bit, and link to where it lives on DeviantArt.

But yes! Aleksandra is currently stuck in Ireland (and was stuck in London for a time) because of The Baba Yaga. For her part the Baba Yaga absolutely loathes Aleksandra and her weird funky blood abilities. As they have the unique property of being able to injure wyrm tainted creatures even someone as The Baba Yaga. Also shenanigans with the spirit world but that's next chapter.

Both want to kill the other, The Baba Yaga see's Aleksandra as a threat to her hold on Russia. Aleksandra wants revenge for her family.

I would really like to revisit this portion of Aleksandra's life one day but I honestly think that is would make things far too complex in the comic. Her Ireland story, is very much just that just her in Ireland realizing some stuff. But maybe a side project for funsies. Or I'll just put it on Ao3 like ND Stevenson did for She-ra.
