First up: my Diasomnia OC! His name's Nico Spindelle, they're based on the spinning wheel, and he's a Diasomnia second year. They're a falcon fae w/ gold eyes, tawny skin, purple hair, and golden brown wings. He grew up in Fae Court and came out *Traumatized*. Their UM is called Spin A Tale, he can create an illusion of any sense. They should have been short and lean BUT their chest/back muscles are wayy overdeveloped so he can fly. He has PTSD and GAD, but the GAD manifests as aggression. Basically, his fight or flight response is stuck on fight 24/7. They're the oldest member of the crew, and act as an older brother figure to the others. (they call him Nico-niisan it's so cute) he developed his UM bc of Fae Court Trauma and he developed it rlly young for a Fae so he got sent to hang out w/ malleus and the Diasomnia fam. (he's a few decades younger than mal but definitely over 100) He loves them but feels disconnected and like they have to earn being around them. When he meets the main crew, they become fast friends and he's super loyal to them and protective of them bc they love him unconditionally and its very found family. the "Nico-niisan" starts literally as soon as he joins lol. anygays they're soooo protective of their little brothers omg its a d o r a b l e!!!! when dillen gets kidnapped (LONG story) they're like the first one looking for him and the muscle of the raid since usually that's dillen's job. Anygays that's my Diasomnia OC! My trio of Octavinelle ocs are twisted from captain hook bc hes so well known but not one of the great 7 and im mad abt it. anygays first one! James Roger, based on Hook himself. Octavinelle 1st yr, UM is called "Captain's Orders". He can make a mental bond btwn him and any1 who swears loyalty to him. these ppl r "The Crew" and share a mental bondspace called the Jolly Roger (think its like a gc for the whole crew but they can also dm him). He's tall and lanky, black curls, light brown skin, approx. 10000000 freckles, red hook shaped hair streak, maroon eyes. He has a prosthetic arm made of brass that has a bajillion weapons in it (him favorites are the mini laser cannon on hi shoulder and the collapsible cutlass in his forearm). He grew up w/ his 2 best friends/siblings/possibly some sort of polyamory or QPR. not sure which one but they're his first and second mate. Next up! Shane Delmar, twisted from Mr Smee, also an Octy first year (though he was supposed to be Scarabia). UM: Spyglass, allows him to see a vision of anyone/thing he has put a magic tag on. Tiny squishy albino twink, usually wears a red bandanna somewhere. Has social anxiety and slight GAD, might be autistic now that I think abt it. INSANELY SMART!!! 100% soft sweet nerd archetype but will throw hands for three (3) people only.
Third member: Dillen Bryne! He's based on TickTock the Croc, also an Octy first yr but was supposed to be Savanaclaw. Imagine Leona and Floyd fused together, that's his personality. He's a crocodile beastman with dark brown skin, slicked back dark green hair with a pale green braided streak, scale freckles, miniclaws, slit pupils, pointed ears, and a tail (can u tell I love his design lol). His UM is called Tick Tock. It lets him hijack peoples fight-or-flight response/adrenaline and cortisol levels. He's the muscle of the trio, seeing as he's the only one with a UM usable for offense. Huge snarky punk vibes. Backstory time: the trio grew up in basically twst florida. the further inland you go, the more urban it gets, there's a river running through the city, the delta is part port town part mangrove/swamp/forest. Shane lived kind of upriver, Dillen lived at the delta, and James grew up on a fishing boat with his aunt (hence the freckles). They loved to play together and were rarely apart unless necessary. One day, they decided to go swimming in the delta together. Dillen was not fully in control of his instincts, seeing as he was, like, 7-8. Roughhousing went too far, bl00d in the water with a predator nearby, yadda yadda. Dillen ended up b!ting off a good chunk of James' arm, and that water was not clean. between the infection and blood loss, James lost his arm entirely. When James was taken to the hospital, Shane had a panic attack, terrified that he wouldn't make it. Dillen was trying to calm him down so he wouldn't hurt himself (they were still in the delta after all). He tried everything he could think of, and in a moment of blind panic, manifested his UM. (When it first manifested, he used it to turn off the panic response instead of activating it like he does at NRC. He doesn't usually use it like this these days, but that was how it first showed up.) After calming Shane down, they went to see James, who forgave Dillen. They were all really close beforehand but now they were basically codependent, to the point where James and Shane manifested their UMs to deal with James being gone for months on end when he and his aunt went on long fishing trips. when they all got into NRC, James got sorted into Octavinelle, Shane got sorted into Scarabia, and Dillen got sorted into Savanaclaw but Shane and Dillen just went to Octavinelle. They ignored the housewardens, the teachers, Crowley, and the mirror, just to stay together. These 3 are utterly devoted to each other and while they have let others join the crew, they haven't let anyone into their inner circle. Except... NICO!! (he's literally the only person they've ever fully taken in as one of their own lol) This is where the lore collides! u know how it went from Nico's side so I'm not gonna repeat that. Next big lore bit! {Quest Opened! Leona holds the key}
