#split destinies

there r so many and i am going 2 explode now, you have opened pandoras box

i am, i am going 2 start with ones i amn thinking about, which are ocs from an original story about destiny, because

The three main characters for the story which wip name rn might just be split destiny(abbreviation: two of a kind) it's about two kid's who accidentally get chosen under the same destiny despite it only being meant for one person and their mentor, Süsi who was kinda trying to get that.(not sure about the names because i thought mason and peggy at first but now kinda just wanna use the estonian ones i thought for them, Tiivi and Madis)

The three main characters for the story, images of them:) (timeskip versions of Tiivi and Madis in the top right one, tiivi digital sketches from me trying to figure out her colors)

ohk, details nd characters, Tiivi's a high energy person in general and positive for the most part, has had the ability to speak to animals forever. She's someone who's always wanted adventure and felt special so she was pretty thrilled to have something greater than life happen to her, summons a sword or spear thanks to the chosen one biz. She finds out her mother(who she hasn't seen in years and barely remembers) is very much active in the magic world and has a whole phoenix and rebirth theme going on(also doing some shady stuff), Also finding out she has an older brother she never met apparently, he's got plant powers (seems to be working for some sort of magical authority?).

Madis is very much more of a wallflower and has a tendency to draw in on himself and also ignore anything strange happening around him including his luck powers which is why he is at all not happy with what happened and would like to live a normal life, summons a scythe or shield. He lives with his aunt and has a cat, didn't know his parents, does seem to have some talent when it comes to this magic stuff and has eyes on him.

oooohg, let's get to tha mentor, Süsi, they do not know what they are doing teaching these children. He's been doing this awhile and has a whole detective thing going on (because i am like this and like making detective characters), seem to work place to place, generally seems mysterious, she's got a whole fire and dragon theme going on and also may have escaped death one too many times.

post timeskip a lotta changes happen and developments, Süsi goes into hiding, Tiivi keeps learning magic and also doing odd jobs with her brother and Madis goes to do normal teenager things back at home.

They try to keep in touch, in this period might also find more out about how their powers are connected and a mental link.

This story idea mostly came about out of kid me's anger at the lack of male female friendships and deciding i have to do this myself(Madis and Tiivi aren't even the first time i decided "actually this boy and girl character's would die for eachother and are not at all romantically invoved, fuck you" you can see a lotta YA. novels and cartoons pissed me off with that)also apparently i just wrote a snippet of a depressed boy and cheerful girl in like 2009? idk i was like 10 and had an assignment for writing and that also led to this.

(oh god there's so many miscellaneous sketches here of the cast for this shit)

There's also a shady school in this, mostly pre-timeskip and some immortal fuckos(to be fair one of them's trying to stop the other one, there's implications of them being connected in this cycle due to similar reasons that Tiivi and Madis are connected to eachother), also everyone aspec, süsi has an ex gf(Linda) in this that works for said school and seems blind to any wrongdoings by her workplace. Also a selkie girl at same school who's her prodigy gets a crush on Tiivi because i like to put lesbianism in my stories.

here's more recent sketches on my tablet from their postimeskip looks and also messy rough comics of scenes i have in my head during late night because thinking about them and need to get these thoughts out or else i will not sleep

anyways THANK YOU 4 the ask so i can ramble about my cringe ass nae-nae ocs(despite this i still have hundreds of other ocs and stories i have not mentioned here because this post is long enough, most likely have posted sketches of em but this does remind me i should try posting about them more again)

(follow up to this)

I'm glad u asked :)

how it happened was definitely under strange circumstances and strange Divine intervention/planetary alignment(look i like moon and sun symbolism,whaddaya want)

So let's get to surface level stuff first or just the powers, i already wrote about the weapon summoning(like I'm not really sure if it's an arsenal or a specific weapons kinda thing but I've mostly settled on offensive weaponry/ a sword for Tiivi and defensive, etc. for Madis, like they can summon any weapon honestly but i think it comes down to preference) and possible blurring of lines between powers(Madis starts maybe understanding animals around him and hearing words from his cat. In turn Tiivi's luck seems to some days be either drastically good or bad) and overall state of being(hearing the other's thoughts occasionally, getting nicks and aches where there shouldn't be but the other got hurt, etc. Real soulmate shenanigans, these changes become more apparent post timeskip since they've been separated then) but i should get back to the beginnings and the handling of the situation here also .

(break w first-ish drawings of these guys here that weren't in the last post, was getting down vibes mostly)

Madis does not like this shit at all since this just pushes him further into the"wuh oh, look at this guy he's strange and unusual<--" territory and this is a nightmare come to life, so he'd rather get rid of this destiny and new power with a connection to this weird girl and intimidating adult.

Tiivi on the other hand is thrilled! (finally proof that she's special and better than people said!) she also doesn't mind sharing the destiny considering she just moved to a new town and doesn't have a lot of friends,(new bestie unlocked!) Also thinks Süsi is a cool person(immediate idolization target acquired) and usually doesn't get to interact with those kinds of people often

Aaah, Süsi, my guy does not understand how this happened and is now trying to figure out a way to undo this thing in the background. In all honesty she's the type who acts aloof but put's the world on their shoulders and feels like this is her responsibility, which is probably why he decides to introduce and teach them about magic and this stuff in the first place, since they seem confused and need some guidance(even if she might not be the best person for this).

(Just wanna share art of these guys and since this is a convenient spot, here's me trying to design that selkie girl who crushes on tiivi)

There's some stuff at the climax of the first half of the story when an antagonist basically tries to steal those chosen one powers from Madis, but it doesn't work because he didn't consider the connection between he and Tiivi and that is something fundamentally holding most things back from cutting them off, it's also a final nail in the coffin so to speak about how connected they r, also people thought the power was halved between them but turns out it actually doubled so oopsies.

anyway unrelated images of post timeskip antagonists(mostly) because i forgot i had these and they look pretty cool
