Twst OC Bio

Yeah idk if anyone here cares but I suddenly got an idea for an oc on the bus ride home the other day and I've quickly grown attached to this character so I want to talk about him! This post is super long but whatever.

Basics:

Name: Xenio Wormwood

Birthday: October 1st (Libra)

Age: 18

Dorm: Pomefiore (formerly Ignihyde)

Unique Magic: I don't have a name for it yet, but it casts lightning bolts

Dominant Hand: Left

Homeland: Island of Woe

School:

Grade: 3rd year

Club: Alchemy

Best Subject: Potionology

Preferences:

Hobbies: Collecting

Pet Peeves: Being told what to do in flight class

Favorite Food: Meat

Least Favorite Food: Raw vegetables

Talent: Hosting guests

Nicknames: Magpie, Fée Verte (from Rook)

Misc:

Species: Harpy

Based On: The vultures from the Evil Queen's death scene

Likes: Stealing small objects, trying new foods, fashion

Dislikes: Not fitting in, disrespectful guests

Pronouns: Any (but is mostly called 'he' because NRC is an all boy school)

Orientation: Aroace

Hair: Brown, waist length

Eyes: Green

Rambling:

So he ended up having far more Greek inspiration than I originally planned. Whoops. My thought process was if I was gonna make this character a harpy, then I wanted some connections to Greek mythology. His name comes from the word xenia, an ancient Greek concept of hospitality. It's also a reference to Zeus as he was sometimes called Zeus Xenios due to his role as a protector of strangers. I also went with the Zeus reference because I wanted to give him lightning magic. The nickname from Rook comes from a drink called absinthe, which has wormwood as an ingredient. It was called "the green fairy" in various literature. He's frequently called Magpie because of his stealing collecting random objects, mostly shiny ones.

What would your ocs think of Finn? If you don't mind me asking

Of course I don't mind! I love character questions (I'm just to shy to ask people about theirs or talk about mine normally)! Also so sorry that this took so long to get to, I spent most of the afternoon trying to get all the paw badges.

I'm not completely caught up on your writing for Finn, so my apologies if anything is clearly out of character! Here we go! :

Xenio:

I'm not sure if Xenio would have many opportunities to truly spend time with Finn, but he loves meeting new people so he automatically has a good opinion. I remember you saying that he goes to Pomefiore to paint, so they've probably seen each other around. Xenio's heard about how people feel off in Finn's wake and isn't bothered in the slightest. In fact, it makes her want to know him better! Xenio is drawn towards people who are quite eccentric or strange, because so are they. It's the reason they transferred from Ignihyde to Pomefiore. I also remember that Finn is sensitive to noise, so I don't know how he'd feel about Xenio's frequent trilling (it's like a vocal stim for her).

Lumi:

Lumi would be quite fond of Finn. Lumi can drop their act and just exist normally around him. Lumi quickly learned to stop with the bullshit because they realized they'd get nothing out of him, which ironically lead to begrudging respect and then what could be called a friendship (though I doubt either would admit this). They use different strategies to get dirt on people, so sometimes they swap information on certain students for other beneficial info. I feel like these two would love to trash talk.

Desmond:

Hmm . . . Desmond doesn't exactly dislike Finn, it's just that he knows trouble when he sees it. Finn may keep to himself, but there's still a reason he's in Octavinelle. Desmond is very loud and brash, so I feel like their personalities would just clash a lot. If there's anything these two could find neutral ground about, I think it would be flying. Desmond definitely respects Finn's flying skills and would love to have some kind of competition against him. I feel like if they got to know each other better, they might get along somewhat. That being said, I wouldn't bet too much on that.

Corvus:

I kinda feel like Finn would have a worse opinion on Corvus than he would have about Finn. And honestly, that's fair. Desmond is more of an unintentional troublemaker, while Corvus intentionally causes trouble. He goes out of his way to do things that make people think less of him because it also means that no one expects anything out of him. He's also very loud as well as clearly only cares about one thing and leaves everything else to be swept aside. Corvus has a neutral view about Finn. While he can't let his guard down around him because of his close connection to the tweels and Azul, Finn has also never done anything to really give him a bad opinion. As long as it stays that way, Corvus isn't going to think negatively about him.

That's it! I hope that I did Finn some justice in this. I've never gotten to write about my characters while keeping someone else's in mind, so this was good writing practice. Ty for the ask!

I'm still preying on a butcher's vein~

Twst OC Bio: Corvus Diable

The last of the new ocs! I hoped to post this right after Desmond's bio but I've been busy since then. Oh well, it's here now though!

Basics:

Name: Corvus Diable

Birthday: August 20th (Leo)

Age: 150

Dorm: Diasomnia

Unique Magic: I honestly don't have anything for this rn

Dominant Hand: Left

Homeland: Briar Valley

School:

Grade: 2nd year (got held back his first year)

Club: Pop music

Best Subject: Math

Preferences:

Hobbies: Singing

Pet Peeves: Being told that he's "wasting his potential"

Favorite food: Watermelon

Least Favorite Food: Leafy vegetables

Talent: Pitch perfect hearing

Misc.:

Species: Fae (bird-like)

Based On: Diablo from Sleeping Beauty

Likes: Music, taking care of his hair

Dislikes: Tradition, peoples' expectations for him

Pronouns: He/him (he/she? He's working through that rn)

Orientation: Asexual and gay

Hair: Ankle length, black and very curly

Eyes: Yellow with black scleras

Rambling:

My main direction for this character has been that I wanted someone who stood out from the Diasomnia cast. That led to a character that rebelled against expectations from his family and homeland. I considered making him half-fae like Sebek, but I thought he would stand out more as a full blooded fae while being this rebellious. I don't remember if this is canon or from a fanfic, but I read that fae rarely move from Briar Valley, and when they do they normally don't return. That was a major inspiration for this character. Corvus had expectations of using his skills with math to get a high paying job placed upon him from a young age, but his only interest is music. He started to rebel from his family and standards in fae culture. He plays the drums, electric guitar, and sings. He has a begrudging respect for Malleus since he's royalty, but besides that he has conflicting opinions about him. He gets along pretty well with Lilia since he's the only other fae Corvus has seen that's like him, but he's wary of being too close to him. Corvus enjoys being around Silver since he's so chill, but he'd fight Sebek for free any day, any time (and would absolutely do so if he wasn't so closely linked to Malleus). He's a big fan of any kind of showy makeup, he really tries to keep up the rockstar look. "Diablo" is "devil" in Spanish, but I have absolutely no understanding of Spanish, so I made his last name the French word for "devil" since I have a small understanding of French. I need to cut this off here because I'm still kinda busy and need to finish something before more happens.

Writing is still giving me panic attacks, but I do want to get back into it. I think writing for my ocs instead of fics would be easier rn, so:

The next oc bio will be posted on my main and rebloged on the account that I use for normal stuff

Twst OC Bio: Desmond Hound

Oc #3! Technically I came up with this one before Xenio, but I didn't know if I actually wanted to make any twst based ocs then.

Basics:

Name: Desmond Hound

Birthday: May 1st (Taurus)

Age: 17

Dorm: Savanaclaw

Unique Magic: No Worries (Makes him seem more charismatic so people follow what he says)

Dominant hand: Right

Homeland: Shaftlands

School:

Grade: 2nd year

Spelldrive

Best Subject: P.E.

Preferences:

Hobbies: Competitions

Pet Peeves: Fancy things and people

Favorite Food: Steak

Least Favorite Food: Chocolate

Talent: Disappearing when people need him for something

Misc.:

Species: Dog beastman

Based On: Dodger from Oliver & Company

Likes: Food

Dislikes: Authority

Pronouns: He/him

Orientation: Asexual and biromantic

Hair: Kinda like Ace's but not as spiky, brown with red streaks in the front

Eyes: Left is blue, right is brown

Rambling:

I will admit that he's not a very fleshed out character yet. He's very similar to Ruggie. Desmond's family struggled to make money while he was growing up, and what they did have always went to the most important things first. Things were getting better before he went to NRC, and he's happy that his younger sister won't have the same childhood than he did. He's very competitive because of a need to be when he was little. His UM comes from needing to steal food sometimes, this also caused him to be very crafty and able to disappear quickly. I don't have much more to say, I still need to work on the kind of person that Desmond is while at NRC. So here's some info about his sister: Her name is Lilly, and she's 8 years old. She's trying to grow her hair as long as possible and loves ladybugs :)

I keep seeing people use the toon me picrews to make their twst ocs and I decided to give it a try. They're not exactly how I imagine them, but I'm pretty happy considering most picrews feel very limiting.

In order: Xenio, Lumi, Desmond (two of him because I couldn't decide), Corvus, Victor, and Mallory (I haven't posted his bio yet)

Idk how but these took me 4 hours to make

Does anyone have advice for improving your art? I know practice is important, but other than that I don't know much genuine advice. I've tried digital art for the past year, but I'm drawing with my finger on a not so good tablet so it's not ideal. I think that traditional art is a little easier to control since I can actually feel myself drawing. I usually draw with no plan in mind because I think my art turns out better that way, but I want to learn how to draw my favorite characters.
