yup !!

I have two so far, with both of them being from a little self indulgent au of mine where the equalist movement is not like that. The doodles i have are old, and both of them need to be redesigned but heres them as they are right now.

This is Bima, she's a firebender and was raised in the movement by a combination of people, but the Lieutenant is her primary guardian. She's a very energetic and social person, though very easy to slip on things she shouldn't be telling people (idle gossip mostly). I think of her personality as a mix between Ruffnut from httyd and Jake Perolta from B99, with a dash of korra in there. The lizard on her shoulder is a Gilahorn called Dragomir - he's a little shit who steals everything he can hold and gets her into trouble for it. She also has a massive crush on my other OC, Muli, which she is doing nothing about except fumbling.

The original concept for her was a firebending chi-blocker, or pyro-blocker (which I've started using for her in-universe title), whose firebending was channeled through a pipe they carry on their back. It's a two-piece hollow rod with a mouthpiece that she 'breathes' her fire through like a dragon. The helmet was altered to have vents where excess heat is expelled. Bima is also supposed to have burns on her arms from an accident when she was younger, but i guess i forgot to draw them LOL.

This is Muli, she's a non-bending engineer who is the main repairman of tools like Bima's rod and the Lieutenant's kali sticks. She's a monotone person who keeps to herself, but not a full-force introvert. She's definitely an oddball and has her fair share of odd hobbies, like keeping a jar of insects that she swats on her desk (she feeds them to Dragomir), and tinkering with leftover material to make doohickeys (things like wind-up toys and music boxes, she hides them everywhere). Muli is also working on refurbishing an old mecha tank model.

She wears a hair wrap for practical reasons, keeping it out of the way of her work and away from machinery it could get caught in, while also not having to bother with its appearance every day since it's covered. The goggles are also something she wears for practicality, having made custom lens dishes to slot in, which replace the need for framed glasses since she couldn't afford them. These dishes let her switch out from welding goggles to her glasses without needing to take them off.

If you're interested here are their toyhouse profiles, though I haven't updated them in a while </3

Amon . I loved the scars he had in the show and was real sad when they turned out to be fake, so im retconning that for my own enjoyment and making them real. Because there's no way his crazy ass didn't commit to the bit. The eye on his burnt side has traumatic mydriasis, aka a frozen pupil. Its usually from blunt force trauma, but I read somewhere that it could also result from intensive facial burns so I took that and ran. There's also some minor hearing issues on that side (Tinnitus because it's annoying, and I think he should have to live with it /silly)

Lieutenant . He was actually harder for me, his features are really specific in my head so there was a lot of tweaking I did to make it look even remotely like him. I have no gripes with his design (like i had with amons (lack of) scarring), so I made no major changes to it. The most notable thing I did was give him a cauliflower ear - It's something that happens from blunt force trauma to the ear, as well as friction damage from things like helmets (like his goggle / mask thing). Usually, you see it in boxers or rugby players, but I think he would've gotten it from being thrown around and getting into fights in his younger years.

+ them hanging out with korra because it was cute in my head

sure :D
