I'm progressing through "The First Heretic" and I am IN LOVE with the Word Bearers!
They still haven't started the "Pilgrimage" and all but, they GENUINELY seem so human!
Case in point:
Argel Tal and Xaphen bickering in the middle of battling AI-powered automatons that apparently look very pretty:
And then this gem just a page later:
THE ULTRAMARINES COULD NEVER!!!!! (JK, I love the blueberries too!!)
Aaaaah, I am going to be inconsolable as shit hits the ceiling fan!!!

Rereading First Heretic still and I hadn't remembered that Xaphen is Terran -- born in the Urals, specifically.
... I know that doesn't necessarily mean he was inducted into the Legion before Lorgar was found, but I'm very amused by the idea that Xaphen, the guy stuck in the middle of Erebus' and Argel Tal's breakup, is way older than either of them.
Speaking of Terran Word Bearers, I wonder if he and Layak ever hung out. So many faith transitions they would have gone through!
Xaphen, showing the sketch of a daemon he saw: This is how it looked like, sire.
Argel Tal: Why it has so many arms?
Xaphen: Those are its horns!
Lorgar: Drawing is not your strongest suit.
Cyrene: It looks just like it to me.
Xaphen: Finally! Thanks yo-
Xaphen:...
Argel Tal:...
Xaphen: Why do you feel the need to do that?
I had quite a bit of trouble doing Xaphen because Iβm not super familiar with goth fashion, nor am I aware the goth fashion trends of the 90s. That being said, I just kinda did what felt right for her.
[ID start: the picture shows a crochet doll of the character Xaphen from Brimstone Valley Mall. She has 2 shades of pink and gold hair that is pulled up into uneven pigtails. Some of the hair is loose and on evenly frames her face. She has black eyes and pale skin. Sheβs wearing a burgundy strapless bra with a gray skirt. She is wearing a black coat that goes past her knees and matching Planck shoes. End ID]

Number 6 for your oc questions?
6: Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?
I reuse a lot of elements of my OC designs, and sometimes whole-cloth recreate them cross-fandom or in new projects. The first thing that comes to mind, though, is Xaphen (they/them) and Uriel (they/she) from my angel stories -- both of them are flame-based, and while their 'true' forms are relatively different-looking, their human guises ended up looking really similar, mainly due to my choice for their hair.
They used to look even more similar, but I've defined their designs throughout the years -- this story is around a decade old, and my art's improved a lot since then.
For a somewhat sweeter answer, though, my OC Edith Truscott-Fanshawe (she/her) shares a lot of visual similarities with my friend @cadyllonflow's OC Solana Bradshaw (she/her), and they're both English as well, though from different parts of the country. As a result, Lana often ends up adopted (or at least accepted, if she's too old for adoption proceedings) into the Truscott-Fanshawe family, giving her the loving home she so deeply deserves!
They're also both autistic, though they present very differently -- Edie's expression rarely changes, but she loves Lana with a ferocity unmatched.
