The OC's from the Past (Group 7: Avatars)

I talk about my OC's. Here is a group with some active characters (since I use my avatar online).

Welcome once again, fellows, to another set of OC's.
If you don't recall the formula in which I do this in, or didn't check out the previous post, here's a run-down:

  • Characters will be put in drop-down menus.
  • It will mention, in this probable order: their name (on the box), a description, their personality and skills, and their roles.
  • For characters that have evolved over the years, I will mention either the latest one or my favorite one.
  • I will make mention of any important iterations using the angle bracket ">".
  • If a character was migrated into a new group, I will mention the group, and mark any changes they have had.

Now, let us begin:


Avatars

An avatar is a character that represents you. Usually.

Some people just have profile pictures for their accounts on various places, but others have pictures of their avatars online. It's essentially your "internet mask," if that makes any lick of sense.

Being someone online, and someone who draws, and someone who designs/creates characters, of course I've had some.

Me

this is just me

look, I don't know what info you're expecting to find here

...alright, I'll explain a bit.

You know how white people are the most average people? You know how brown hair & brown eyes are among the most common types of hair and eyes in the world?

That me. I average.

That being said, there's actually a reason that I'm bringing myself up - it's not just to be a smartass. When I was a kid, I always had myself at the center at my own imaginary universe, so I did have a particular way I drew myself. It's mainly the design of my shirt: it's a bright yellow t-shirt, with the cat symbol that I used on it (cyan circle, with two blue triangles coming out on top, at some angle, resembling a cat head with ears).

Yep, that was me.

Anyway, let's actually get into the post.


1st Gen (Terrarian)

Nedia the Wizard

So here's a bit of a spoiler...

> This was originally Gremlin again, but more fleshed out than I had him back then. However, because I fleshed the actual Gremlin out a bit more (as shown in Group 3: Terrarians), I decided to name this one after another, very similar looking character. Nedia was a name I was gonna use for something in a group I am no longer a part of.

-

Nedia is a wizard, obviously. He has blue skin, with a big-ass nose, green eyes, and a full head of white hair (including a thick set of eyebrows). He wears a magenta set of robes, brown pants, a yellow gem on a ring, and a talisman (designed after the cat head symbol (cyan circle, blue triangles for ears).

Nedia was just kind of grumpy looking all the time. That's it.

In addition to his magic artifacts, he also wields a violet staff, which is made to look like a set of cat claws on the end. It holds a big ruby gem, which channels Nedia's magic.

BluePaw

[...this might(?) be Blue Cat(?)-inspired]

More spoilers, this cat inspires BrambleClaw.

Anyway, I didn't know if she was actually called Bramble or not, so here, just to differentiate, I'm naming her BluePaw (can you guess what series of books I was into as a kid?).

She is a cat, with her fur being mainly cyan. The fur markings are blue, and they're mainly on the tail (the tip, plus two stripes immediately after it, and that's it) and ears. She also has some blue "hair" on the top of her head. Her eyes are purple.

The first familiar, and she's mainly a nuisance. I don't recall much about the personality of this one. I think she was the most animal of them all (the only picture I have of this one, she is doing the cat thing where she's attempting to keep herself on the perch - Nedia's shoulder - using her claws).

This was the one I started using when I first got a Discord. I joined a server that a high school friend owned, and Gremlin was the guy I used for the profile picture.

2nd Gen (Roblox)

Blue CY

This was a legit attempt at an avatar, which is based off of the character I had on Roblox. He still has blue skin, he retains the green eyes that Nedia had, he has brown short hair, and a big schnozz. He wears a dull purple t-shirt, tan-brown pants, green sneakers, and a dark red cap with a red brim, worn the correct way.

He is a sassy smartass, who is arrogant about certain things. He has a lot of energy, and sometimes the anger to go with it.

He has a metal hammax (spiky hammerhead on one side, a war-ax head on the other), which has a gem imbedded into the bottom part (making it act like a magic staff).

> Originally he was supposed to have an explosion with bricks on the t-shirt, as that was what he had on my character. Speaking of, the shirt's color was originally light-gray, but to add color I made it a dull purple. His pants were just a dark brown too, but I didn't know how it would look if I drew it, so I changed it.

There was also supposed to be a charm of the cat symbol, but I stopped doing that on everything, so he doesn't have it anymore.

CyanFur

CyanFur is another cyan cat, with blue ears, hair, chest fluff, and tail stripes (this time, it's the tip, and two stripes near the base). She has a weird mow-hawk style of hair. Her right ear has been clipped on the right side. Her tail is bushy.

Cyan is more deadpan and stoic than Blue, and in general starts acting more as a familiar than BluePaw did. She doesn't communicate with others, and is mostly there to help Blue out.

> She originally had a bob hairstyle of some sorts. I don't know what to call it.

This was a weird diversion, but it makes sense considering what my Roblox avatar looked like. He was just like a casual guy, but he has magic, and wields a hammer & axe combined into one.

This was when I wanted to legit create a guy that represented me. Gremlin/Nedia was a character that already got his own personality that wasn't mine, so I needed to start fresh. Hence why he became based off of the Roblox avatar.

Also side note, I haven't been on Roblox in like 10 years or something.

3rd Gen (Current)

BhusterEby

Finally we made it.

Bhuster is a blue-skinned mage. He has a bulbous nose on his cube-ish head. He has emerald-green eyes and brownish-red hair (leaning very much towards brown). His hair has a set of bangs that sweeps to his right, a thick ahoge (idiot hair), and is head-length. He wears a dark dull purple robe over his magenta t-shirt, alongside his green pants and dark-green shoes.

Bhuster is a very chill guy, always looking for ways to have fun. He has a lot of hobbies that he takes seriously enough. He loves music, drawing, and most importantly, video games. He shares half his soul with his familiar Bramble, who he created during a familiar ritual. Bhuster usually is the more expressive and emotional of the duo. He enjoys having her out, but when he needs all his attention towards something specific (or he wants to relax from experiencing two different perspectives) he can desummon her.

He has a wood staff with an upright set of claws carved into it, which holds a very round ruby. This lets him channel his magic in a more controlled state, but sometimes he enjoys using the magic more chaotically. He can also use his staff as a mace, and bash lots of things with it. For such an average-looking guy, he can be quite agile, and enjoys hit-and-run tactics. He is also quite durable, so if he needs to he can tank several hits.

The magic he uses are as follows: fire, lightning, wind, and shadow.

Bhuster and Bramble share a mental connection, due to the fact that they are both one and the same. If one travels far enough away from the other, they won't have the ability to mentally contact one another, but they are able to go their own independent ways.

> The mage aspect from Nedia, and his attitude and "modernness(?)" comes from Blue CY. This is my current avatar, forged from a few generations, and handcrafted through several iterations.

He used to have big open sleeves, but I found them too cumbersome to keep drawing over and over. He also used to have a wizard cap, but I removed it because I like drawing him with it off more often than not, and sometimes it was difficult to draw it on him.

BrambleClaw

THE cyan cat. She has cyan fur with some blue tabby stripes, blue ears, and a sea-foam colored underbelly and muzzle. Her bushy tail is striped cyan and blue (blue has four stripes), with the tip being sea-foam colored. Said color also marks her paws, making it look like she's wearing small socks. Her amethyst eyes are usually half-lidded, with small blue brows amplifying her expression of disappointment. Her right ear has been clipped on the right side.

She is Bhuster's familiar. Her entire body is made out of magic, as she was created during a ritual designed to form familiars for mages. She shares half of Bhuster's soul because of this, making her the literal half of Bhuster. She's the brains of the duo, willing to do the thinking for any given task, but results may vary because she has Bhuster's smarts, and he isn't always the brightest.

In general, she's keeping track of their surroundings, often noticing the smaller details that Bhuster ignores / fails to notice.

When she fights, she usually does a similar tactic to Bhuster's hit-and-run tactics. She's quite quick with her claws. Her main source of damage usually comes from her ability to generate magical aura from herself. Think of something like an Area of Effect (or AoE), that's what she can do.

She uses the same magic Bhuster does: fire, lightning, wind, and shadow.

Bhuster can summon and desummon her at will. She will also be desummoned if she gets damaged enough, requiring time to recharge. This is due to the fact that she is made of magic, and not flesh and bone.

Bhuster and Bramble share a mental connection, due to the fact that they are both one and the same. If one travels far enough away from the other, they won't have the ability to mentally contact one another, but they are able to go their own independent ways.

> She is the ultimate fusion of BlueCat, BluePaw, and CyanFur (ignoring the fact that BluePaw and CyanFur were most likely named BrambleClaw - they were different enough to warrant getting a name change for this list). She's a blue cat, who's snarky and smart. She functions as Bhuster's other half.

Also, in case you couldn't tell, her name is just taken from Warrior Cats. I grew up with the "New Prophecy" series in that franchise, so Brambleclaw was my favorite character.

This is the one. This is the guy you know. I don't know how his design evolved into this, but my best bet was that I wanted to imply that he was a mage, so I gave him a robe (and kept miscalling it a cloak) and a wizard hat.

I gave him the personality that I would have if I was my avatar, and had a familiar that was my other half.


Now that we've gotten through some previous iterations of my avatar, we're just about caught up with my OC's.

I don't exactly know what's next. I need to figure that out.

I will see you in the next post.
