-how does Dex start the plot? 👀👀

-what do the shadows do to Felix specifically?

-Nyla and j seem nice

also yea tell me more! Who are the antagonists? It’s so cool hearing about peoples ocs :)

Hi anon! You’re makin my day with these asks so thank you!

So Axl is in a constant state of flux. Something about them is constantly shifting. They can’t shift into anything nonhuman, so no animal shapeshifts or anything like that. She also can’t shift her eyes (I gave them heterochromia one eye blue one eye green) only because I needed a way to tell him apart since they don’t have a set look. They grew up in a secret lab (hidden from the government so the scientist that raised them could study their cells and the effect they have on certain diseases) and had a limited supply of pills that sort of calm their cells. It’s essentially a power suppressor for their specific power, but they have a limited supply as they can’t access the lab once they’re taken from it at the beginning of the story.

So Dex is really cool to me. They were the first character I really nailed down the concept to immediately. I debated giving them a tech related power, but because of background reasons I thought it’d be best if they were “normal”. They are a hacker and because of too secret background reasons they usually lurk on government servers. They can’t usually do much since it’s mostly files and protocol but one day they stumble across the video feed for a termination holding room. The almost skip by it until they realize it’s live and suddenly they can make a difference, if only for these five kids. So they do.

So Felix was raised in a government facility from birth. Babies are screened for the gene at the hospital and taken to a holding facility if they are found to be enhanced. Felix was raised in a government nursery and when he got old enough to be transferred he started training. He was always terrified of the dark, and that hindered his ability to be a good asset. So, like any good government weapons program they decided to fix it… by locking him in a dark room until he was able to prove he could handle the darkness. The shadows function as almost their own entity (though they’re really acting on Felix’s fear) and they become more and more erratic and dangerous the more scared Felix gets. He loses more and more control the longer he’s forced to use his power and the more afraid he is the harder they are to control. When he loses control the shadows don’t deanimate, instead they swarm him and continue to haunt him until he is able to calm himself. They can surround him so completely that he’s unable to see or move.

Yes! Nyla and J are both very reserved and as such they get along very well. Though they can be pretty chaotic when confronted with Felix and Axl’s chaos. Star is more exasperated by it all.

Okay so I mentioned a facility and training program, and that comes more into play with the antagonists. The antagonists are a group of two trained “assets” called agents though they’re treated more like tools. They grew up similarly to both J and Felix, though they actually graduated the program and became agents. The pair are the team raised with recapturing the protagonists at any cost. Before the general public can find out any enhanced individuals escaped.

So Void they/them is one of the top agents (and would probably be even higher in rank if it weren’t for their partner). They are pretty overpowered if I’m being honest but it does come at a cost. They can essentially slow down time, open portals across short distances, and warp a persons perception of space and time. Their power is very physically draining and has been slowly corrupting them over time. They care less and less about the consequences each time they use their power, and they are addicted to the rush it gives them to use it. Their sole motivation is respect, fear, and power, and they know they’ll only get that by being a good weapon.

Kane he/him, is Voids partner… He can control animals. Unlike Nyla he can’t understand them or make them understand him but he can make them do things. He has two sort of “modes” for his power the first being sort of like giving the animal a task they’re compelled to do. The second way he can control them is to sort of mentally enter their bodies. This one is harder to do and he can only control one at a time like this. His human body is also left immobile until he comes back to his brain. So each option has pros and cons but I found it an interesting concept. He has two striped hyenas, an adolescent wolf, and a vulture. His animals were supplied by the government specifically for tracking and hunting. He is a himbo, goofball who has a bad job. He knows that morally he’s in the wrong, but he also knows his is not the only life on the line. (I absolutely recommend looking up striped hyenas they look like fantasy puppies lol).

This is an old drawing i started coloring and forgot about but from left to right we have Felix, J, Dex (in the front), Axl, Nyla (and Newt), and Star.

Here we go my full page. 

Sugar Kookie; I fixed her mouth and the stars in her hair. 

Finished coloring in Yoon and added a little fun design to make them stand out a bit more (SCANNER Y U NO LIKE MY HIGHLIGHTERS!?) 

And Ji-Min; Irouni’s “mechanic”. I haven’t drawn a girly-guy in forever...so Ji-Min has advanced intelligence and cyber communications (he can literally talk and listen to machine/electronics) 

Illyora calls him Mama Ji-Min because of how often he comes over to check up on Irouni and herself (since he made her prosthetic). When he moves into the city he becomes a teacher (in robotics/technology/small engines)

Yoon, Nyla, Illyora, Ji-Min are mine

MY LAST PAGE OF MY CURRENT SKETCHBOOK!!!

WIP Nyla and Yoon (I’m so so so sorry Yoon....I’m gonna be making you do something really really terrible and I feel awful...though your fam and Nyla will still love you regardless.) 

And MAGICAL GIRL SUGAR KOOKIE! And her (not really) Mascot Sonic-chan!
