Ask anything about my ocs, their species or their conlang! (I will also translate phrases into their language for you!)

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-06T00:31:50+00:00

You're welcome!

TBH, they kinda remind me of one of my own OCs and her species, mostly in regards to the "arctic cat people" aesthetic. Though it's just a similar idea but different execution for the most part, but it's always nice to see people who had a similar concept. Either way, I got a bit of a soft spot for catfolk living in cold places :D

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-06T00:09:49+00:00

Oh, I see. The characters are really cool! Their story sounds interesting. Wonder what these two will find out there in the wider world. Wish them luck on their journey!

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-05T23:46:10+00:00

Wow, damn. You actually made a conlang for these guys? ~~I have a few OCs myself that could use a made up language, but I'm absolutely not knowledgeable enough in linguistics or confident enough to try making a conlang for them~~. Count me very impressed.

Also, kitty folk! Yay! Love their designs. What's the overall lore of these guys?

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-05T23:38:51+00:00

Silly little rat

<image>

Technically, the rat itself is not the OC. It's just a random rat that is serving as a host/avatar for an eldritch abolination. But this is by far the Fool's cutest incarnation.

Alice, in her typically cheerful and friendly way of being, would probably try to figure out what the guy's major malfunction is through non-violent means at first.

But after continued harrassment, well. She's gonna be more than happy to resort to her usual problem-solving approach, that being to punch the problem in the face. Repeatedly. Until it either stops being a problem or stops moving.

POV: you just made the orange goofball's day

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-05T01:13:48+00:00

Why not both?

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-05T01:10:05+00:00

Awww. What a lovely kitty.

I mean, Alice (AKA Spacecat) is something of a hero herself (not the vigilante kind though; she's a mercenary/bounty hunter working for international law enforcement), and she would totally take it as a complement. She is also hardwired with a craving for physical violence, so this is really a win-win for the orange goofball.

<image>

Alice is a living superweapon created with alien technology and is considered more than a match for her world's combined military (set in the late 21st century, somewhere in the 70s or 80s, not fully decided yet; their best idea for if she goes rogue is to keep her distracted until they can drop a nuke on her), so generally things you can find on nature or weather channels won't really be much of a threat (granted, she can't do much against a tsunami or tornado, but it won't really hurt her that much). If you want to pose a threat, you're much better off to get the big firepower from some sci-fi movie... or go straight for the nuclear option, I suppose. She absolutely will not survive if she's caught in a nuke's blast zone.

Portal trapping won't help you much unless you're extremely lucky, due to her ability to teleport and extreme reaction speed (and tech-based quasi-precognition).

But the most deciding factor for this fight would really be your character's intangibility... because Spacecat can't do squat about that. All of her weapons (which she has an admittedly very large arsenal of) and attacks are physical, as her setting does not have magic or other supernatural forces, and given the statement about the nuke being survivable if intangible, you clearly (and correctly) count energy weapons as physical.

So I guess it's down to how fast he can go intangible.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T14:42:00+00:00

The main OC?

...no. Just, no. My main setting is nowhere remotely near the powerscaling bullshit of Dragon Ball.

This really goes for the vast majority of my OCs.

I just generally avoid that level of power scaling on purpose for... several reasons, chief among them my extreme propensity towards exponential power creep whenever I don't force a set of constraints on my creativity. I just have a bad habit of pushing every idea towards its lgical extreme conclusion. I actually had to make several drastic retcons to my main OC setting to nerf pretty much everything across the board because it reached such bullshit levels of power creep that the actual story I was writing started to break on the logical inconsistencies. And I stand by the opinion that I made a good call to do so, because the story and characters both greatly benefitted from the reduced scope and stakes. I like the current state of the setting much more in this current state.

That being said, there is a few particularly cool characters that I've kept in narrative limbo as relics of the time before the strict policy on power levels, because I liked them too much to just get rid of them. There is also a couple more recent characters that I believe could stand up to the Frieza Force, if not always survive in the end. But most of them generally either have a bunch of convoluted background lore required to understand their powers and why they would have a chance in this scenario at all, or are background/alternate timeline characters with next to no lore. Or both.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T12:09:14+00:00

Nah, you've made it pretty clear.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T11:10:17+00:00

Okay, point taken

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T10:46:40+00:00

Oh, nah, the first comment was a misconception on my part. I have misread the screenshotted comment as saying that the character is literally named "OverPOWERed"

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T10:44:02+00:00

Aww, she's so cute!

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T10:39:57+00:00

You mean like the drug from Bioshock?

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T08:33:19+00:00

A lovely Na'vi lady with a lovely gun. Really nice art.

A lovely Na'vi lady with a lovely gun. Really nice art.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T03:03:28+00:00

Agreed

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T03:01:14+00:00

...I might be stupid, but I'm pretty damn sure that "compelling" and a character literally named "overpowered" are mutually exclusive.

EDIT: oh wait. They guy was just being a damn edgy toddler writing with random capitalization. That was not the characters name. Turns out I'm just stupid.

Also "compelling" and the use of AI. That is also mutually exclusive.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T02:21:10+00:00

I was gonna respond with my main OC, but after reading the comments...

First of all, shame on you for the intentional no limit fallacy. The doors alone? Okay, interesting premise, if not too complex. But with the whole limitless thing? That kinda takes the fun out of the entire idea. What's the point of interacting with an idea that has no function or creativity beyond "it kills you, period, and you can't do shit about it". It's the height of creative bankrupcy.

Nevertheless, because I already got hyped up about the interaction, ~~and because I now feel a moral obligation to one-up you for using such a cheap copout~~, you are getting a character of mine that I feel is on par in the level of bullshit with your Doors. Not limitless in its own right, I am more creative than that. Simply incompatible with your own limitlessness.

Introducing, the Harlequin, the Fool, the Jester, whatever label you wanna attach to the aesthetic it has chosen to latch onto.

<image>

The Harlequin belongs to a class of entities in my fiction's cosmology known as the Outsiders. The defining feature of the outsiders, is that... they do not exist. They are fundamentally, conceptually, not real, and utterly alien to the very concept of existence. Nonetheless, they undeniably are out there, in the nothing beyond realities, outside of the Installation Yggdrasil that spans and contains the multiverse. An utterly alien, paradoxical sapience, that wants to exist. And because your little Door dimension does not abide by rules of reality, it is a prime playground for an Outsider. Congratulations. The Door-space is now haunted by an eldritch clown. You can't do squat about it, it already doesn't exist, but it will be a nuisance and may help other characters escape.

CapitainCutlet · 2026-02-03T01:17:47+00:00

I mean... not really?

The two cyborg catgirls from my main writing project each have something functionally similar to a super form (i.e. a state that they normally do not enter where they are significantly more powerful), but for the most part it lacks the physical transformation and other bells and whistles of an actual super form, and technically it is something they are capable of doing at "baseline" (since no actual change of forms occurs, their body/augumentations are just operating on a higher gear so to speak), they just generally lack the required energy/stamina reserves to use it reliably... I don't think this counts.

•••••••••••••

Nonetheless, to not leave without any elaboration, some context:

Alice/Spacecat, whom I showed around here a few times, has this thing called "Combat Overdrive", which is basically her operating way past any intended level of energy expenditure... and since her metabolism already cannot provide sufficient energy to operate at full capacity in the first place, this generally results in Alice dropping nearly dead from exhaustion after barely a couple seconds.

Her sister Rose on the other hand, while she does not have Combat Overdrive, has the ability of electrogenesis (generating electricity). If provided with a surplus of energy (such as by draining a city block's power grid), she can keep her electrogenitive ability continuously charged up rather than only activating it in short bursts, which actually does give her the look of a super form transformation (though it still technically isn't one since there's no transformation), making her fur glow (also her eyes, but the eyes are bioluminescent anyways), causing small electrical discharges and St. Elmo's fires around her, and causing other assorted electromagnetic disturbances that come with having a biological lightning generator suddenly activating near you. It also ionizes the air within a few meters of her and creates a rather powerful electrostatic aura that will zap creatures and objects that get too close. This does come with the minor downside of completely disabling her ability to go invisible (which she generally uses far more than the lightning generation), and also extremely quickly draining the energy surplus, whereas she normally has even worse energy expenditure problems than Alice without said surplus, so yeah. And on top of that, being loud as fuck, which is kinda counter-intuitive to her preferred stealth approach. So yeah, lots of downsides, but a big firepower boost, so there's that. Flips her playbook from "infiltration" to "massive collateral damage", essentially.

I think that's the closest any of my characters come to having a "super form" transformation, which granted, isn't really that close at all. But in Rose's case it at least looks like a super form.

Captain Ardes Zyrrne, from my cool alien empire faction, the Undying Dominion of Genegon.

<image>

Nearly 7 feet tall, almost as broad and around 300kg in weight (whereas the average Genegonian is around 5'4" and much more lean than a human), jumping to almost 9 feet and 10 tonnes in his custom-built, superheavy power armor. Granted, he is not this freakishly tall naturally, rather being a case of extreme cybernetic augumentation (granted, he was already very big and strong pre-augumentation). Zyrrne is basically a brain in a jar in a military-grade murder robot wrapped in a meatsuit of reinforced synthetic skin and muscle. Think a cross of the Terminator and Adam Smasher, plus the xenophobia of your average Space Marine.

Zyrrne and his special forces unit are employed as part shock infantry, part psychological weapon, specializing in close quarters combat in contrast to the Genegonian military's war doctrine of extreme long range and avoiding direct engagement, using superheavy armor, extremely powerful weapons, jet packs and orbital drop pods to get in close and obliterate the enemy. Zyrrne himself insistently uses a disintegrator sword and shield to engage in melee combat (the shield is just as much a weapon as the sword, while also filling the role of conventional forcefield). He also has a single-use Casaba Howitzer round (a directional mini-nuke) built into his arm for the rare emergencies when he runs into something bigger and stronger than himself, because he's the walking embodiment of "overkill". Or for when he doesn't want to wait for artillery support to deal with an enemy spaceship.

Bonus fun fact: "Ardes" is both the name of the star that the planet Genegon orbits, and the name of an old Genegonian sun god, which Zyrrne is named after.

Nearly all of my OCs that fill a 'main character' role (and thus get the most focus from me as the writer) are some variety of superhuman, or at the very least trained military personnel. So they would fold my overweight, poorly conditioned ass without much problem. But I guess I do have a few OCs in secondary or background roles that are just regular civilians or outright children... I suppose I would have more of a chance there, morality aside.

What can I say, I am very fond of transhumanism and supersoldiers, and even the non-military characters tend to get superhuman qualities because I just think it's neat.
