😈👻😱💔🦨🐈‍⬛🔪

HUZZAH I'm not sending too many cuz I wanna hear about the full twst oc cast spread for these- I'm being difficult hehehe

HOLY FUCK okay, rolls up my sleevies, if it's all seven of them you wanna know about then it's all seven you're gonna get, babe.

💍 - Does your oc have any piercings? Do they want any (more) piercings?

Matt: He doesn't have any as of now, but he's also not sure if he wants to get any, either. He's entertained the idea here and there, but has no idea on what he'd want to have if he decided to dedicate himself to one..

Kaz: He doesn't have any piercings. He's a total weenie when it comes to pain.

Marcus: He has two rings and two studs in each of his ear lobes, and one cuff (non-pierced) on his left ear. Part of him wants to get a tongue piercing at some point, but he's also intimidated by the idea of it and hasn't done it yet.

Nyx: Used to have his ears pierced, but he kept losing the studs and took them out from frustration. The holes are now closed up, but he still wants to get them re-pierced again in the future, when he can actually take the time to properly care for them.

Stahli: He has one stud in each ear and an industrial bar in his left ear. He doesn't really have any plans for future piercings as of now, he's pretty happy where he's at.

Phobos: He has a tongue piercing and intimate piercings that came from the previous owner of his human form, but actually most of the piercings on his body actually came after he took Theodore's body for his own. All of his facial piercings including his snake bites, nose ring, and nose bridge bars he got done himself. He's considered getting more piercings in the future, maybe some for his ears (which he's been adverse to only cuz the idea of putting something jingly in his ears bothers him, since his hearing is so sensitive).

Vantablack: On their original body, they don't have any, but on their human form they have holes in their earlobes left behind where earrings used to be, and they have just one of their nipples pierced.

🖊️ - Does your oc have any tattoos? Do they want any (more) tattoos?

Basically none of the seven have tattoos except for Kazuo and Marcus, if you can call them tattoos.

Kaz has a massive back tattoo of three sets of black seraphim wings, three rings of light, and a baseball bat dripping with black sludge.

This "tattoo" was given to him from Mortifer, the Goddess of Death. He can use this tattoo to, at any point, summon forth an enchanted, pure white baseball bat that acts as his reaper's scythe, or he can summon three sets of wings to take flight or to teleport himself anywhere he can imagine in a flurry of black feathers. He can also use this tattoo to summon forth three glowing rings of light, entities called "fragment spirits" which will fight alongside him and obey his commands in battle. These entities are "fragments" of his own psyche and personality, and at times they will physically manifest themselves when he becomes emotionally compromised in specific, significant ways. He has no control over the spirits when they manifest themselves of their own free will, and they will remained summoned until they feel their role is fulfilled.

He doesn't have any real tattoos otherwise, and doesn't have any plans for getting any in the future.

Marcus doesn't have any tattoos as of now, but he has a dark "brand" in the center of his chest, called the Mark of Matthiaos.

This brand is a symbol of his pact with Matt. The tendrils stretching out from the sides of the brand expand outwards and increasingly darken parts of his body if he allows himself to accept more of Matt's power, or if he allows Matt to possess his body.

He does feel like he wants to get some proper tattoos at some point, but he doesn't have any ideas of what he wants yet.

Neither Nyx nor Stahli have any tattoos, but they're both open to possibilities in the future should they get any ideas for what they'd want for them.

None of the other seven have any tattoos nor have any plans for them in the future as of now.

🩹 - Does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

Matt: Autophobia. The fear of being alone. When Matt was born, he had a curse placed upon him that made it so that he could not be seen or heard by any human being other than the person he's actively possessing at any given time. This curse was lifted during his time with Marcus, but the isolation he experienced for the vast majority of his life has made him have some pretty significant co-dependency issues. He doesn't like being left on his own, he feels uncomfortable unless he knows someone is nearby, even if they're not paying attention to him. If someone (especially a group of people) completely outright ignore him, then he'll start to have severe pangs of panic, thinking that perhaps the curse has returned and he is unable to be seen or heard by anyone all over again.

Kaz: Dissociative Identity Disorder. A long-term former friendship with a toxic individual has completely left him mentally fractured. He's good at hiding these problems most days, repressing his anxieties, but it's evident in the existence of his fragment spirits that he's not always okay.

Marcus: Anxiety + Insomnia + A Fuckin' Host of Other Problems. Since he was young he was always a bit of a coward that was scared of his own shadow, and this fear only became stronger once he became a host for Matt. He's struggled for his entire adolescent life and much of his childhood against paranoia, anxiety, insomnia, and incredibly vivid and powerful auditory/visual hallucinations. He's gained more control over the hallucinations in his older years, after he's made his pact with Matt, but the fear continues to persist and deeply affect his ability to trust and build relationships with others outside of his immediate friend group.

Nyx: ADHD. Pretty simple as that. Nyx used to struggle academically due to simply not wanting to do his homework if it bored him significantly. He still struggles to get assignments done if they're in a subject he finds boring, but as of recent years he's been able to find some interest in his studies more than he used to. He still struggles with keeping focus during lectures and zoning off in the middle of them, and even keeping focus while working on personal projects unless he's actively hyperfocusing on what he's doing.

Stahli: Ego Death. Accidentally dying during the manifestation of his unique magic has permanently fractured his perspective of reality. Stahli understands that it's magic that allowed that to happen in the first place, and he understands the rules of magic as they exist in the world around him, but sometimes he can't help but feel less like a creature living in the world of magic and more like a spectator that's peering into the world. Sometimes he feels like a person reading a book, and when he closes his eyes he's shut that book momentarily and placed a bookmark on the page he left off. Sometimes when he closes his eyes he tries to search for "what's beyond the cover of the book" and gets frustrated that he cannot. He's almost wholly convinced that he's just reading a book of the world he's living within, and that only when it's finished will he finally be free to live his real life again, unaware that the only life he has is the one "in the book".

Stahli struggles with the concept of "fate vs free will" especially because of the book analogy. Most of the time he feels like whatever he's doing and experiencing has been pre-written into his story, and that he cannot deviate from whatever decision he's made, even though its his own free will that makes the decision he makes. Sometimes he wonders if perhaps instead he's writing the story rather than just reading it, but that just leads back to his frustration of not being able to see past "the cover of the book".

Phobos: Misanthropia. He's incredibly pessimistic by nature, and this coupled with frustration with his state of living has grown into an almost whole-hearted hatred for mankind. He's incredibly indifferent to the suffering of most humans around him, and feels perfectly fine to bring harm to others if it means he'll get something meaningful out of it.

Vantablack: God Complex. They wholeheartedly believe they are above every other living thing around them. In their case, they literally believe they are a god in the making, a creature that was born with no other purpose than to turn mankind into their personal power seedbed to ascend to a higher point of being.

🖤 - Has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? Have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?

Matt: He's not directly killed many people, but the way his power influences the mental states of others causes them to usually die or kill themselves while he is possessing them, much to his dismay.

Unfortunately, he's broken the hearts of a few, including Marcus early on into their relationship. Not intentionally though, again, just comes as a side effect of carrying too many secrets about who you are and having different needs from your human companions.

Kaz: He's never killed anyone, despite having the title of "Grim Reaper" under his belt. His job position forces him to sever a spirits connection to their corpse and send them down into the underworld more than actually killing them.

He's never broken someone's heart, per say, but if you asked him if he's broken someone's trust he'd have mixed feelings on how to answer, since he's been through some emotional turmoil in a past relationship gone sour.

Marcus: He's killed very few people, mostly against his will. He's amassed far higher body count numbers in dæmons, which he has far more pride in his body count for.

As far as broken someone's heart, he has struggled with a few relationships in the past. Getting thrown headfirst into the realm of the supernatural put a lot of strain on his relationships with those he cares about, including with Matt.

Nyx: He's never seriously hurt or killed another man, at least not in his point in his life. As far as heartbreak and trust are concerned, it was a massive struggle for him to work out the details of his relationship between both of the tweels and October. But, with lots of time and conversation, the four of them were able to find a way for them all to be happy.

Stahli: He's never seriously hurt or killed another man, but he's made an unintentional habit of being a bit of a heartbreaker. He's fun and flirtatious, and it's often that people will become attached to him when he'd never meant for them to. He feels bad to turn people down, but it's something he's had to do time and time again.

Phobos: He's killed at least one person - Theodore Banner, his previous caretaker. His unique magic is also based on hurting people indirectly through weaving magic into his words, so he's wounded many people with merciless intent. Despite this, at the present, he hasn't killed anyone else other than Theodore, but that's likely not going to be the case forever...

He doesn't think anyone really likes him, and he pushes people away to keep it that way. There is a part of him that craves the affection that comes with a relationship, but he would never admit that aloud, let alone to himself.

Did another drawpile night with @mintmoth and @dragon-simp !
