dts with my mutuals where I took their ocs and turned them into (south) slavs and made slavic folklore-inspired designs and lore loll idk if the traditional clothes or folklore would ever match the historical time period (late 1800s) so just ignore that for now 1. Kuzman Luković (Khôi Luong (i don't have vietnamese keyboard :sob:), @543533's oc) - he is a famous Serbian hunter from Pešter. He appears very intimidating and scary and doesn't speak to humans that much. because he was abandoned by his parents he is very lonely and only looks for creatures/beings to be friends with. He thinks that once he befriends all folklore creatures/beings he will not be lonely anymore. Ironically he only carries a gun in case another human tries to kill him or smth 2. Hrvoje Kuret (Herbert Kübeck, another mutual's oc) - he was born as a štriga and because štrigas cause harm to people and are generally bad faith he was exiled from his parents and homeland (Dalmatia) as an infant to (Western) Slavonia. He basically raised himself and tried to blend in with society and hide the fact that he is a štriga but he unwillingly curses people and brings illness and constant rain. He has an unassuming attitude and hates the fact that he is born as a štriga despite being part of a group that is traditionally vengeful. Like other štrigas he can turn into a fly at night and curse people. He carries a torch (which štrigas use to fight each other sometimes) and sort of just wanders around looking for a place where his existence doesn't harm people while trying to disassociate himself with the other štrigas he encounters 3. TW Herman Vrabel (Hermann Wahler, @historicalloser's oc) was born (or transferred to this form) as a nav (soul/spirit) of a woman who was abused by her ex-husband and ex-boyfriend (after her husband left her) and committed s/icide. Assuming the figure and name of a human with the wings of a sparrow (Vrabel means sparrow in some dialects of Slovene) he returned to the living world from purgatory (which is where all plagued souls/souls bound by sin stayed). Since these nav restless and possibly cursed, humans always avoid them so he only really contacts other nav like him in the living world. Like other nav he has elements of himself that glow and haunts the woman's abusers. He has nihilist views and often wanders around the Balkans either by himself or with other nav. Even though he is nihilistic towards humans he is curious about their creations and picks up books humans leave behind or lose to read.
