#oc corso

My OC Corso and @solluxander's OC Cars, because the idea of the two of them going on missions shenanigans together immediately made me think of this dynamic.

Oh jeez I never actually posted these here did I? Have some OC reference sketches and notes!

IMAGE DESCRIPTION AND TEXT: My OC Corso, standing in a neutral position in a tank top/sweatpants/socks, in both a front view (to show their broad, heavy build and furry cheek patches/whiskers) and a smaller side view of their torso (to show off a short cute tail). Text:

Karutians (inspo.: spotted hyena).

AFAB Karutians are taller and brawnier than AMAB Karutians.

Fur typically a couple shades darker than skin tone, but dyes are common fashion statement.

If Corso ever gets dandori'd their fur would be all blue, omg.

Fur covers back of arms, shoulders, back, hips/waist, front of legs, top of feet.

Omnivorous, strong jaws let them crunch through foods that are otherwise impossible to get to (shells, thick rinds, bones, etc.).

Other facts not written on the page:

Corso was originally hired as a records management coordinator, took the officer's training as a spur-of-the-moment thing, then when they saw the distress call from the Rescue Corps was both A) the person with the most training/qualifications and B) the one most earnestly asking what they could do to help.

Survives off of adrenaline, people-pleasing, and impostor syndrome for a good chunk of the game, at least up until Hero's Hideaway happens.

Has a younger sister named Connie, who tends to steal the limelight in their family's eyes.

Is a firstborn child, which holds specific weight and expectations on Karut: first-time Karutian parents traditionally have a higher rate of complications during pregnancy, and so a surviving firstborn is considered "lucky" and supposedly destined for big things in life.

Once modern medicine caught up to Karutian anatomy there were a lot more firstborns surviving to adulthood, and a lot more of them going through the equivalent of "gifted child burnout" as a result. Corso is among them, which is part of why they left Karut and moved to Giya in the first place.

Likes cooking, reading, and building model kits: stays rather aloof out of feeling super-intimidated at first, but gradually warms up to each of the other rescue officers and sees this whole situation as the best thing to have ever happened to them.
