#nrc oc

Artist Note: Look, you can't give a bunch of NPCs with names and voices and expect me not to try and give them a design. For the design I mainly base it on the name translation done by mysteryshoptls (ref 1). Here are some notes on why I chose a specific inspiration.

NRC

Claire Fontaine, which translates to "clear fountain," reminds me of the chalice from when the evil queen was making the old person potion.

Lucien Benoit basically translates to "light blessing", and alongside the fact that Lucien is into architecture, it made me think of the Golden Beetle that shows the way to the ruin.

Thales Ferris: Ferris could be related to a ferry, which in turn is associated with ferryman.

RSA

Tim Kambaa is as stated in the translation note, but I decided to lean into Timon as inspiration based on his voice.

Sylvie Constin: Sylvie seems to associate with "spirit of the forest" and Constin is connected to Phill whole deal of training a hero, who would become a constellation.

Vega Allenby is a confusing one, as it implies it could based on Meg, which doesn't make sense considering the dorm leader should be the Meg inspired. So I just did the flower.

Oliver Marchfield & Winter Blesswell are the translation note state. However, some of you may know that I already have twst oc for Fauna and Merryweather named Fiadh Serenity and Joyous Mezzle (Ref 2). Which, I have been working on a redesign for their outfits and whatnot.

Although, since Fiadh is Oliver, that means he has to suffer through whatever Rielle made him go through.

(like dude almost DROWN)

Which Oliver/Fiadh is a sweet summer child (he is a 3rd year, is 186 cm tall, and is at least over 100 years old). Who was raised in the woods and still is adjusting to human culture. So him going through all that makes me feel bad, like he doesn't deserve this. Like this level of suffering is usually reserved for Oswalt (my yuu).

Although if I were to replace any other character from the NPC listed for my own, it would be Vega Allenby with Esme and Sylvie Constin with Aegipan because both are in the Psykeros (meg) dorm.

kiryu is actually an expy of my genshin oc!! same name and practically the same face and all, but i decided to chuck him into twst alongside azami, because they’re a package deal in every universe wwww

he is 34 years old at the start of the game! his birthday is on november 11th <3 so it’s coming very soon—

has an adoptive daughter (shiori) who’s around five years old in-game!!

i was debating on whether he’d be in pomefiore or diasomnia, but ended up with pomefiore heheee he would’ve been a silver lookalike in diasomnia dorm uniform though 😭 why are they terrifyingly similar i created genshin!kiryu in 2022 before i knew of twst HELP

THEEEE valedictorian of his year. this man was as hard of an academic as riddle

as mentioned in the little text blurbs in the images above, kiryu teaches practical and ancient magic!! he’s also sort of the overseer of combat magic but i wasn’t sure under what category that falls??

oh btw ancient magic = curses, incantations, all that jazz. ik the localisation is a bit odd lol his classes are one of the only few leona regularly attends can you believe that

kiryu has been teaching at nrc since the age of 25-ish!! he taught ace’s older brother and still receives yearly christmas cards from him. he knows the card will explode in glitter and confetti and he still opens it (with a sigh) LMFAO

(i hc divus to have been a pomefiore student!!) also yes he’s still beefing with divus. they are so annoying oh my god. kiryu is usually so serenely calm it’s actually funny seeing how short his fuse is with his former charge HDJSHFJA divus was a freshman when kiryu was pomefiore’s housewarden (and third-year student as well) and these two butted heads ON EVERY. SINGLE. TURN. they STILL argue over the most menial stuff as colleagues. trein complains that nothing has changed from their school days 💔

vil keeps insisting that kiryu should change careers and go to modelling 😭 he thinks kiryu is collecting dust while stuck at nrc with that face GAHSHAHA

platonic/familial with riddle!! they’re so darn cute!! i might draw them together at some point because kiryu is also the equestrian club supervisor and yknow with riddle’s clubwear having come out 🙂‍↕️

yes he has pointed ears but NO he’s not a fae. it’s some exported lore from genshin but he’s basically a reincarnation of a mortal-ascended-to-god and shares his body with the reincarnation of a dragon god that merged with the said mortal in his ascension to godhood.
