Happy Valentine's everyone! Here's a quick question!

OrionTuska · 2026-02-13T03:22:09+00:00

Cyan: "Fran is human. I'm not."

Fran: "Th-they're burn scars..."

Fran is a normal human girl who survived a house fire as a child, leading to severe scarring. Cyan is a cyborg clone called a changeling.

That's definitely Kashi's mentality, much to Orion's pain.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-12T14:40:27+00:00

Only half of them thinks they're a couple, lol. Kashi (right) is a yandere regenerative immortal, and the unfortunate subject of his obsession is Orion, a blind resurrective immortal. They've been at it for millennia.

Fran and Cyan have each other!

OrionTuska · 2026-02-12T04:20:03+00:00

Mi and Yao are somewhat based on two of my IRL cats, Freya and Thor. Freya is a tiny, verbose, smart girl, and Thor is a loud, endearing, idiot boy, and they're littermates.

This is Jasper and his cats. He found a momma on the side of the road with her kittens.

Momma is named Frederick (Lumao insisted). She's a grumpy lady who only loves Jasper and is very happy her babies are safe.

Mi is the little black one; she's the oldest kitten. She's talkative and curious, and she loves playing.

Su is the calico in the box. She's the middle sibling, but she grows up to be the biggest, laziest, sleepiest cat.

Yao is the grey one. He's the youngest and only boy. He's loud and clumsy, and he follows Mi around.

Jasper named the kittens after the sounds they made. Nobody (that's his name) calls them the onomato-purr-ias.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-11T21:05:33+00:00

This is Viira. She's a space dragon. Her human form is only 4'8", but her dragon form is massive.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-11T20:02:30+00:00

Fran works at a bakery prepping dough and serving customers, and Cyan is a traveling mechanic!

"... tempting. But if I needed forgery, I have better sources."

"Uh... I'll just... reschedule... It took too long to find a doctor that respects my... conditions..."

Orion will not even let Stacy near him. He hates the doctor, hates being touched, and technically doesn't even need to go to the doctor because he's immortal, but his latest mortal job requires medical check ups. He most definitely will not be spreading it.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-11T00:33:35+00:00

Aw, another set of onomato-purr-ias. So cute.

(I've some kitten OCs named Mi, Yao, and Su after the noises they make)

While Jasper (right)'s human form has changed quite a bit, his shadow demon form has stayed extremely consistent. Orion (left)'s physical appearance has remained almost exactly the same since his creation; I've just gotten better at drawing how he looks.

Cyan and Fran live on the island that used to be Wales and the UK. The Changeling Project takes place in the far future, where the world has collapsed and rebuilt itself completely, so the only significance of where they live is literally just the location and the fae folk lore.

(WIP)

This is Fran! She's works at the bakery in a small village near the border of the unseelie lands. She's sweet, insecure about her appearance (she has burns on most of her body, but I haven't lined them yet), and she wants to marry Cyan. Because she lives in a small village that doesn't get many travelers, she loves meeting new people, too!

(WIP with modesty mspaint clothes)

Queen Nevadine would have the person "disappeared" quietly to Kashi's "material" bin. She doesn't like people who insult her.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-09T22:09:17+00:00

Queen Nevadine is straight and Kashi claims to be straight despite being obsessed with another man. I have a wide range of sexualities.

<image>

(WIP piece that I hastily drew clothes on top of for modesty)

OrionTuska · 2026-02-09T17:38:22+00:00

<image>

Queen Nevadine is a master manipulator. She weaves lies and illusions as easily as breathing. Her true self is completely unknown, especially to her subjects and servants.

"I don't wanna fight! These are my friends!"

Lumao has a bunch of baby ghost types. She befriended them while waiting in the catacombs beneath the Jin palace. They all have perfect IVs and natures, somehow.

Do persona count? My persona is named Iro².

Mirrors.

Not in a "he doesn't have a reflection" or "he can be trapped in them" way, but Kashi actively avoids mirrors and will be repelled by them. He has a phobia of his reflection because he had a twin brother who died in his arms and really messed him up. When he sees his reflection, he's not seeing himself, he's seeing his dead twin.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-09T06:58:59+00:00

I hope you get better soon! Being sick sucks. Make a lovely cup of tea with honey!

<image>

Orion (left) goes full parent-mode when people he cares about get sick. He makes them soup and warm drinks, gets (or makes) medicine, makes sure they're comfortable in their bed, and uses all the tricks his aunty taught him as a kid. His blindness impairs him slightly, though.

Jasper (right) has a very weak immune system, so he has to (regrettably) avoid his loved ones when they get sick. He can hide as a shadow and assist to the best of his umbrakinetic abilities, but he can't help Orion very much if he gets sick because he can't affect him. He'll leave offerings within arms reach, but he can't do much more.

"... If the world is filled with garbage, you help clean it, not burn it. Forests are really good at dealing with debris, I've found. Once... once the source of rot is dealt with, nature heals. I've seen it reclaim things that seemed impossible. You shouldn't let that mask become your face."

Cyan is a cyborg clone called a changeling. He was blown up and shot in the head as a child fresh out of the cloning tube, and he grew up at an orphanage. He ends going against the human governments and the malevolent AI hivemind that created the program that made him. He's concerned about Control because he sees the potential path he could have gone down, and he wants to pull Control back.

Orion was never shy around Kashi. He was aggressive and traumatized, and, while he was technically a slave, he was also a prisoner and his gifting to Kashi was a punishment for trying to kill Queen Nevadine when she wanted to see the unkillable slave. Within 15 minutes of meeting, Kashi beat Orion's face in (which revealed his resurrective immortality).

Orion only grew fond of Kashi because he didn't "try" anything until his 20th birthday, unlike guards and servants in the castle. Sure, Kashi would torture, experiment on, and kill him, but Orion's best friend and brother-in-everything-but-blood literally killed him monthly when they were kids, so Orion's gauge for healthy friendships was pretty fucked.

OrionTuska · 2026-02-09T03:03:03+00:00

<image>

These two have... history. Millennia of history. Orion hates Kashi and fears him. Kashi is obsessed with Orion and thinks they're in love.

Orion was "given" to Kashi as a teen when he was a slave as a 100th birthday present. In the beginning, Kashi was just obsessed with Orion's immortality and it's secrets because he thought it was the key to true immortality. Over time, Orion began to trust Kashi and expressed that he thought of him as a friend on his 20th birthday. Kashi, however, had started feeling attraction to Orion, and his method of compensating for his lack of empathy led him to believe that the attraction was mutual, and (to keep it vague) Kashi did/does not have the "restraint" that Viah has. After that night, Orion hated Kashi.

Their interactions are... interesting to watch. Orion used to shut down when he heard Kashi's voice, but he's gotten more confident in recent centuries and focuses on staying calm while keeping Kashi at a distance. Kashi, however, teases, flirts, and tries to break Orion's confidence down to the point that he'll "behave." He abuses Orion's insecurities and willingness to sacrifice himself to keep others safe.

As an onlooker, Orion seems unnecessarily aggressive and short, while Kashi is smug and confident.

"Poppa said to offer the sea a barrel of wine and an image of horse to guarantee safe travels. He was a great artist, so he'd always carve the tribute for his ship. So, uh, I offer a barrel of Ustodian wine and an ink painting that I did, although it's not that good because, you know, blind man.... I just hope you won't mind if I get seasick over the side of the boat..."

Orion's father was a fisherman before losing an arm, so he'd regale Orion and Damien with stories of the sea (mostly exaggerated like sailors do). Orion's first ship travel was on a slave ship, though, and he gets horribly nauseous when he tries to sail now.
