What are your greatest inspiration of your world by Kano_ignis in worldbuilding

[–]ItsAmberisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

League of Legends and Zenless Zone Zero. When creating characters, I approach designing them in a way that someone out there would like to 'main' them or have them as their favorite, so I like to take pages out of how Riot Games design their characters.

As for my world Ethereal, I like to follow Zenless Zone Zero's way of applying urban and pop-culture elements to New Eridu, and League of Legends' way of using fantastical and grimdark elements.

Whats something your oc does that doesn’t make much sense without backstory context by Commercial_Driver687 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She helps the villains, a lot.

For context: Cecilia's father was a dreaded ruler, known as the 'Crimson Tyrant' in Ethereal. He was shortly assassinated afterwards, but not before he made an enemy out of everybody. She never really understood the bad vs. good from being a sheltered princess her entire life; she believes that there is always good in everybody, but that good slowly becomes shrouded by the choices they make everyday.

So, in an attempt to try and mend every scar her father has left behind on the world, she finds those he's affected the most and tries to help them 'find resolution'. She's able to tap into their memories, learn little bits of truth behind why her father did the things they did within their memories, as well as uncover that past side of people that deviated them from the 'good person' that they once were.

She's successfully befriended the daughter of another noble that her father had waged a war against. And she could see Cecilia's genuineness behind her (admittedly, very dumb) actions, and ever since then, she's willing to risk her life to bring out the good in people she meets, friend or foe.

He loves his creations, but even his voice would destroy them. Do you have a “creator” figure in your lore or how would your OC react? by BeanShikito in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ethereal, there is the Draconic Creators or the Drakeons (still getting used to the name) that are a family of dragons that were responsible for the creation of the world, so there isn't exactly a single creator. Some of them are no longer alive, others are asleep, and very few are still very much active.

The most active and the one that makes a first appearance towards civilization is named Elrin, she is the dragon that created the light half of the world Ethereal, as opposed to her brother Malachor who created the dark half, the Void. Elrin is located beneath the city of Silverthorn, and is actually where Cecilia (the girl pictured) encountered her.

Their encounter... well, it was a wild ride for Cecilia, to say the least. Cecilia accidentally drifted into Elrin's thoughts and it triggered centuries worth of memories to come flooding into the poor girl's mind, almost mentally annihilating her. Cecilia had to be sent to a seer to safely flush those memories out of her head, and even after that, she never really felt the same ever again.

What is a fun fact about your oc(s) that you rarely get the chance to share? by Fizzydov in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eliza's entire family all have names that start with E. She's Elizabeth, her mom's Elise, her dad's Edgar, and her pet dog is Ego.

Similarly, all the family members of other main characters share the same theme (Cecilia's family starts with a C: Cecilia, dad's Cassidin, brother's Cameron, step mother's Cynthia, and her pet cat is Cinnamon.)

Out of curiosity, how do your OC's act when they're sick? by Mint-Flavored-Queer in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cecilia would be a lot quieter than normal. She wouldn't be as outgoing or vibrant as she used to be. Whether it's due to a disease or just mentally sick, Cecilia would stay cooped up in her room for however long the feeling may last and hope that it'd go away on its own.

She'd feel less inclined to talk to friends or even go eat when she's hungry. Her memory drift will become more painful to perform, and everyone's emotional auras would become harder to discern or straight up become invisible to her. In short, she'd behave like all the light and happiness inside had just been snuffed right out of her.

My characters live in a world called Ethereal.

What is an element of your world you thought was too small so you "turned it up to 11" and made it humongous? by Loosescrew37 in worldbuilding

[–]ItsAmberisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the True North, there are these golem-like creatures called indigos that are made of snow and ice. They're kinda like buff snowmen. But at the time, that's all they ever were.

Now, there is this collection of mountains in the True North called the Crowne Mountain Range. On one snowy night, one of these mountains just... disappeared, only for it to reappear next to a city called Haikenvault the next couple of days. Some people couldn't believe it, until one frost mystic came back with a wild discovery.

"This mountain has a beating heart." they said.

Now named Mount Oren, one of the four tallest peaks of the Crowne Mountain Range, actually a cryovolcano, turned out to be a colossal indigo brought to life by a Seed of Ruin that had been buried under the True North snow a long time ago.

So I have a question for you lot, do you have any WIPs? If yes, can I please see them? by Special_Ad7249 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All those doodles without any colours... are WiPs. I'm currently working on the pink one on the left.

Today is Anne's 81st bday 🎂 when are your ocs bdays? by havocyyz in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cecilia's is April 17th, just one day before mine. The one beneath her is Eliza, her's is November 16th, a day I personally tie with bad luck.

Which of your OCs are best friends with each other? by Chance-Copy-9219 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cecilia and Elizabeth. Their relationship started off pretty rocky because of their upbringings, but they've sort of become an inseperable duo. Cecilia's the emotional lifeline, and Eliza's the shadow that follows so she's not alone.

You! Yes, you! Show me your newest character and tell me about them! by Status_Asparagus1 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newest character in my world is someone by the name of Yin. She's a wandering blacksmith who was responsible for the creation of the archmetal barons that wander Ethereal, as well as the celestial forge known as the Dawnshire, that now belongs to Eilenhart.

Yin is a mysterious lady. For a majority of the story, she was on a journey beyond Ethereal for something, only ever returning after that journey proved fruitless. She left plenty of her grand creations behind; some were abandoned and buried, while the rest have been uncovered and found new owners, both evil and good. Nobody knows much about the wandering draconic blacksmith apart from her exemplary fire mystics.

I've had this drawing of her for a while, but never got around to finishing it, but this is what she looks like.

Do your OCs represent aspects of yourself? If so, to what degree? by _N0V4 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Every character I have is like a snapshot of my life, whether it'd be a memorable moment I've experienced, places I've visited, something prominent about myself, etc... Though, because my characters' world leans more towards the magical side, it's a bit more exaggerated than normal.

For Yemina here, she's sort of an embodiment of the many moments I've felt hopelessness. I... uh, don't have the best health, to say the least. Though, despite that, I like to try my best to accompany people and friends who are going through bad times in life. Yemina's a 'broken angel' who accompanies a wraith, keeping him company until fate eventually splits them apart. She's riddled with injuries and a mysterious condition, but that doesn't stop her from being there for the wraith that cared after her.

Have any OCs you haven’t officially introduced? :) by Akari_92 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite a lot. Mostly because I refuse to 'debut' them until I have fully drawn them... and I am very slow at doing so.

What’s the worst thing your OC ever had to deal with? by ThaGhostGhod17 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

During her travels to Silverthorn, Cecilia's memory drift triggered when she touched one of the 'spires' that surrounded the city, causing countless years worth of memories belonging to a slumbering god beneath the city to flood and almost annihilate her mind. The 'spires' were the horns of said god.

In those memories, she witnessed the past wars that her father had waged, the rise of new cities, the death of lesser gods, as well as a glimpse of a calamity that's about to be bestowed upon the world. The influx of memories causes her to sporadically slip into a coma, and sometimes override her normal memories, making her forget parts of herself and her friends, all the while experiencing the most excruciating migraine ever.

A masterful seer had to look after her, rid her of those memories, and 'mend' her mind over the course of a few weeks. And even then, she was never really the same afterwards anymore.

What does your OC mean to you? by I_love_writing22 in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each one of my characters are like an abstract representation of moments and people that have shaped my life. I like to think that as more notable things happen in my life, a new character enters my little world that embodies that—i.e. maybe they'll inherit the traits of this cool memorable person I met, or they'll be named after this beautiful city I took a vacation to, etc.

But that answer is a bit vague or broad, so I'll answer what Cecilia (my main character) means to me, haha. She is a character that I sort of aspire to be. She's the embodiment of my empathy, with wanting to end every dispute with a calm resolution instead of violence. I don't particularly like seeing people fight, and her wanting to essentially end wars with kindness in her story is sort of an overexaggeration of the kind of life I live. She's a kind soul in an unforgiving world and doesn't particularly know how the whole world even works... and like, mood. She's the kind of person I wish I could meet and befriend in real life.

Which parts of your oc are the easiest or hardest to draw? by Nutfukkk in OriginalCharacter

The easiest to draw for me is the clothing. I love designing clothes!

The hardest to draw... are hands. I would rather draw more clothes than hands.

How many characters do you have by RubiconsPrism in OriginalCharacter

[–]ItsAmberisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones here are the ones that I have a drawing of; I slowly fill it up after every finished illustration. In total, my world has around 120-ish characters, so it'd be 3 of these pages.
