[Humanoid, main, Towers of Magic]

Arya time :> One of my most important story ocs, this time being one of the protagonists in TOM. A fun fact about her is that originally the protagonist of TOM was supposed to be her now long-gone brother Coelum, but after I created Arya as his sister I ended up liking her a lot more, leading to me changing the story’s protagonist to be her. Coelum actually does still technically exist in TOM, but his role in the story has been changed quite a bit and he is no longer related to Arya.

So, as mentioned before, Arya exists in Towers of Magic, which is my most developed story/universe up to date. On the continent of Pampona, she lives in the small coastal town of Shoregrove with her adoptive mother Perry, her adopted sister Alice, and her caretaker Dengel. Arya has never seen the world outside of Shoregrove nor does she know who her parents are, leading to the girl feeling a sense of uncertainty and boredom about her current place in the world. Arya desperately wishes she could leave Shoregrove and finally be somebody, but is afraid of the consequences that would follow on her family, particulary Perry.

In terms of her personality, Arya is very bold and brash and typically feels a lot more than she thinks. Her impulses often get the best of her, as she is highly reactive and very impatient — other people may sometimes need to hold her down because of this. While she isn’t exactly selfish, she can very much be described as a bit self-absorbed due to the fact that she was raised as an only child by someone who clearly adores her more than anything; sometimes it is abundantly clear that Arya is not aware of how privileged she truly is. She isn’t really a bad person though, as Arya truly always believes she is doing the right thing — she can be a really loyal friend if actually given the chance.

Some more fun facts about her:

She/her.

Aromantic and asexual, although seems to be painfully unaware of it.

Arya has some scars on her knees due to an accident that occured when she was a child.

She's a weatherer, which means she has a strong connection to the sky and its elements. This grants her the ability to control electricity.

Her birthday is July 10th, making her a cancer.

Her character was created sometime around mid-2020.

She is of the chaotic good alignment.

RHAENA TARGARYEN born 155 AC is the fourth child and eldest daughter of Aerys I Targaryen and his half sister-wife Queen Rhaelle Targaryen, and twin to her younger brother Viserys.

So, for the event, I chose Ada "Arcahollow." Idk what it is about the name "Arcahollow" but that name really jumped out at me.

So Ada: do you ever feel like you were born at the wrong time? Like how some people will feel like they're more suited for the 1800s or something, do you ever feel that way? If so, when do you feel you'd have been more suited to be born/grow up?

What is your favorite holiday? Favorite holiday tradition?

Do you do anything fun for your birthdays?

When you see a sunset, are you in awe or are you bored by them?

What is your favorite time of day?

What would you consider your mantra to be?

Thank you for participating and I hope you have a fun and great weekend!

a soft gasp issues from Lux as he smiles wide and happily, instantly pulling Ada forward and happily giggling. He pushes her forward, soft whispers of encouragement and joy rolling through Ada's ears before she sighs and bows softly, letting her mind focus on the soft words that gently come with the winds of the Void.

Um, hello, I am glad you are doing good. Forgive the soft murmur of, well, uh, my voice, I am not as fancy with words and speech as the others. I normally just stick the the background, but thank you for choosing me for your questions!

Do you ever feel like you were born at the wrong time? Like how some people will feel like they're more suited for the 1800s or something, do you ever feel that way? If so, when do you feel you'd have been more suited to be born/grow up?

Oh, uh, well, not gonna lie, I totally wish I was born in the more modern Worlds that all of you seem to be enjoying? Well, uh, maybe not all of the things, it seems you guys are kind of running for yourselves currently but like! Running? For a living? The Three, did I wish I could. That is like, the dream job! And the more modern things seem to be better? Like people love running? I want that. Also, I saw a video once, of people who do the boat mail runs!! That is the ish brother, I wish I could do that!!

What is your favorite holiday? Favorite holiday tradition?

Well, to be honest, my favorite holiday is probably one you haven't heard of, but it is the Feast of the Savior! I learned about it once I ended up being with Lux, and it is so cool!? It is this giant Festival held in Main Cities of Ekios! They have stands and open restaurants and absolutely everything you can think of! It is like, a giant thing that everyone likes to participate in. And it is one of the few times that everyone kind of comes together.

Do you do anything fun for your birthdays?

No, not really. I don't even know when my birthday is, save for the fact that was during a meteor shower, which, uh, tends to be more than random, if you know what I mean.

When you see a sunset, are you in awe or are you bored by them?

Oh, in awe, hands down! Especially bc I have a favorite spot to see the sunsets! It is one of the few things that is good about living in Blasia versus Ekios. The Polished Cities are nice and sparkly, but since they also hold most of the machinery and all, they don't have good sky sights. If you want a good view, you go to Blasia.

What is your favorite time of day?

Favorite time of day has to be night. More of the like, late midnight, whenever everything is quiet and at peace and the World isn't so big and confusing and full of noises. I think it has to do with the fact that you can glimpse into the Galaxy Gateway during the nights, but it is definitely my favorite time.

What would you consider your mantra to be?

I think I am kind of boring in that respect, bc my go to manta is just like, "Run it off." It is one of the few things that I am definitely good at, and can do for hours and hours, and it is the one thing that will never not be a good thing for me.

Thank you for so much for this, it was more than fun and we always enjoy being able to get into the heads of our characters!

This Ask Led To 167 Words! (ฅ⁍̴̀◊⁍̴́)و ̑̑

It's time for the first ever GunkyEngines OC/Canon highlight post!

Coming to you live straight outta the DBZ universe, I give you @smol-girl-shipping-the-world 's ship between Tapion and her OC Akari!

(Image provided by @smol-girl-shipping-the-world.)

What makes these characters so great, Gunky?

WELL, since you absolutely must know, this sci-fi/fantasy pair of lovers come from entirely different timelines, and find eachother though this mishap!

"Akari comes from a doomed timeline, so she sets out to change her future by finishing her friend/mentor's time machine. But while attempting to travel to another time, the machine malfunctions, sending her to a completely random timeline instead."

Says @smol-girl-shipping-the-world in her explanation of the fascinating story she's centered around the two,

"That's how she meets Tapion and becomes stranded on his planet temporarily while trying to fix her ship/resume her original mission. While in Tapion's company she eventually helps him save his own world and in turn he decides to return the favor by assisting her in trying to return to her own timeline..."

Smol, I absolutely must say, this is a plot interesting enough to be its own published novel! It's a wonderful thing to see such creative authors in our little community, and I'm honoured that you brought the story to my attention!

But enough about the fantastic story, this is about the couple!

Tapion and Akari are characters that seem to mesh brilliantly together and hold a dynamic that makes you want to root for their love. Their mutual bond over helping one another in the mountainous challenges and endeavours they face in their story together is a treat to learn about, and would you just look at that image at the top of this post? They even look adorable together!

If you want to learn more about Akari and Tapion, check out @smol-girl-shipping-the-world 's blog and tell her how much you love her pair!

[Scifiverse, Secondary, Humanoid]

Aand we’re back with another addition to the series! This time with unhinged robots… how I love <3

Her Toyhouse profile | Her CharacterHub profile

Penny is a part of my new Scifiverse universe, although her character has actually existed for a couple years now. Originally she was just a one-off character I made based on a song I wrote, but eventually she just sort of started living her own life in my head, leading to her becoming one of my favourite characters I’ve ever created. She is very dear to me <3

In her story, PE0-7 (commonly referred to as Penny) was a model of robot assistants that had to be discontinued due to reports of continuous existential crisises. She was a model specifically created for tasks such as housekeeping and servitude, meant to fulfill the basic needs of just about any household — the main catchphrase associated with her is that she was intended for the usage of the people. And she truly appeared to fulfill that role, as to this day she still remains as one of the most popular AssistBot lines yet!

After a while however, reports from buyers began to flood in about how Penny didn’t seem to fully register the fact that she wasn’t human. When discovering her artificial nature, Penny would go into crisis mode and seemingly not fully comprehend what she was being told — it was as if she was discovering that she wasn’t real. Penny would also reportedly sometimes refuse to do her tasks and form almost humane bonds with people, which should’ve gone against her programming; it would seem that she was capable of human emotion. After this was discovered, the line was discontinued and all Pennys were adviced to be thrown away — nowadays only few remain in the galaxy.

Personality-wise, Penny was about what you would expect from an assistance robot. She was naive, talkative, and very friendly. Some found her cheerful nature obnoxious, but most seemed to appreciate her simplicity.

Here’s some fun facts about her:

She/her.

She can open her faceplates, revealing the mechanisms that make her face function.

Her form can be customized to the owner's liking, though it will cost more - hence why most keep her in her default state.

She has a sort of mannequin-like body, with arms and legs working similarly to doll limbs.

Her hair is not a wig - it's made from this very thin metal wire that stays in shape for very, very long.

She also has customizable personality options, though they're quite hard to adjust and not very popular - most people prefer her friendliness over anything else.

She was created sometime around late 2022 to early 2023.
