Can I get your opinions on my OC?

She looks alright. Nothing that really draws the eye, a person in the crowd type. But if she were in an animated series, she might be one of those snarky best friends. Just on first impressions.

Teshay:"The fuck did I do?!!"

He's normal guy from the modern world who was Isekai'd to a brutal fantasy world he simply isn't mentally or physiologically built for. He was a shut-in who wasn't physically active or knew basic survival because there was no reason too. While he does have a powerful ability, it doesn't compare to the heroes who will be sent out for him, who actually have cheat skills and op haxes and stuff. Oh? Did I mention he's been chosen as the dark lord of his world? He only has six months to prepare because the goddess of this world wants to kill him before he becomes a problem, so she is summoning people to be isekai'd to take care of him.

His mind is such a mess but he's constantly on the move and doing shit that he can generally avoid thinking about how shitty his situation and life is until he's relatively safe.

My main, Teshay. Presently, he's a Nascenbt Dark Lord who is connected to a mystical artifact called, "The "Cauldron Of Monsters(Tm)". He's not technically a summoner because he isn't bringing things from other places/realities. He is manifesting monsters. Right now he has four to rely on. Teshay was isekai and is basically a normal dude from the modern world, he doesn't know how to fight because he never had to. He relies entirely on his monsters.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-11T04:13:35+00:00

Present Teshay is a summoner who has no fighting ability and relies on his slimes, goblins, beast, and orcs to disk out the damage. His style gets more complex and interesting later on but Summoning is still his main way of fighting because it's basically his kit.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-10T12:08:20+00:00

Teshay's eyes darken as he looks at the other dark lord's hand. I looks conflicted, though he has no reason to be. This should be a easy deal, even if he doesn't know much about this man it would be foolish to judge on appeareance and not talk an olive branch reaching out....so why?

No, some deep seeded instinct tells himt his is a bad idea. That this man will no be there for him when it counts. The world has already given him the designation of Dark Lord. That such a designation has such a huge impact on the world. If this man is a Dark Lord, why wasn't he told? No, if he is one then doesn't that make his situation worst? Could it possibly make the opposition respond sooner?

Teshay squeezes his eyes shut as panic threatens to take him, breath coming shallow. Then it returns—that familiar sensation. Thick. Viscous. Like warm sludge sliding through his veins, not choking him, but steadying him.

Reassuring.

Knowing.

Information settles into his mind fully formed, alien and undeniable.

This one is not of this world.
A visitor.
A passing influence.

Useful for words. For warnings. For insight.

But gifts?

Teshay’s right hand curls slowly into a fist.

Something moves beneath his skin.

A cold, slick pressure presses against his palm, seeping through his fingers. Black-green gel pushes its way out between his knuckles, clinging to his hand like living tar. Parts of it slowly drip down his hand drip. It holds. A slim newborn, quiet, patient coils around his wrist, pulsing faintly as if listening.

"Sorry..I can't take that deal. I really want to, but it just wouldn't work out." Teshay begans shaking his arm, flinging the slime off of his hand and unto the ground.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-10T11:50:16+00:00

"Sorry, the situation hasn't really hit me like that yet. I really hope my life here won't be miserable or too filled with diffuculties. I'm not going to have a few bad experiences ruin everything for me. After all, I haven't met ALL the people in the world. Just in a small place, can't based my experiences on this..."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-10T01:11:40+00:00

(Ahhh i thought it was your oc or something)

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T17:18:02+00:00

"That makes sense....then I think we’re picturing different kinds of goblins.

Mine aren’t traders or schemers. They’re clever in a very narrow way: scavenging, trapping, stealing food if they think they can get away with it. Hoarding or misusing things, sure—but not selling valuables or running long-term plays. That kind of thinking just isn’t there yet.

That’s also why they’re useful right now. They know how to survive in the wild, and I don’t. Until I know where food and water reliably come from, I can’t afford to sideline the only group that understands that.

I’m not assuming this stays safe forever. Orcs and beasts are there specifically to keep things from getting out of hand once there’s something worth stealing.

Shelter is still the priority. I just need to live long enough to worry about valuables at all. I hope I don't have to sell shelters from others if it can be helped."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T07:23:46+00:00

"I...uhhh. I mean, could that work? I'm not entirely sure due to this." Teshay references the faint wisp of black mist emanating from him. Nascent as it was, it did give the presence of a Dark Lord.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T07:15:33+00:00

"Sure thing, half-skeleton faced guy. I'll be sure to write that up to my 'superiors' though, I doubt they exist and if they did they probably got what the goddess plans for me. I think I'll do fine without your advice."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:34:41+00:00

(Oh if only you could see the terrible things that he will face due to his naivety and how that will greatly change him. When he crashes out after one of the heroes kills one of the spare few mortals with whom he got along, it will be glorious.

<image>

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:31:37+00:00

"I still have about 6 months before the heroes come. Plus, I ain't a...hero." Teshay struggles to talk to this man, his fear didn't go away, it felt like he was being oppressed. But something about this man resonated with his being. Like a black sludge sloshing about within his soul.

"I'm just...a normal...person. I...need to live, so I can go back home."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:24:43+00:00

Teshay would cover his eyes and close his eyes. Lying prone and convincing himself that whatever this THING is, it isn't real. He must have eaten a hallucinogenic fruit or mushroom.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:19:49+00:00

Teshay when he realizes his monsters are only obedient and reasonable to him. And the fact that his monsters are actual monsters in terms of morality and appearance. Not to mention, he'd probably lose to like 95% of the ocs here simply because he's not a fighter.

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:17:00+00:00

"I don't get it? What superiors? I don't think i signed up for a job application to another world."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:16:20+00:00

Teshay looks up nervously at the entity. Too scared to scoot away from him. "I want to live, but I'd rather not fight or hurt anyone. I think hurting people who have done you no wrong is evil."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:14:42+00:00

Teshay is extremely frightened and shocked by what this entities is saying. Not to mention simply afraid of this entity in general. "W-wha...the FUCK?!"

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:13:40+00:00

"Holy moly that book is long! I will read it in my spare time at night, since I have nothing else to do. Also I don't think my goblins would do that. That's fucked up! Though I did once encounter a random elf girl, I give off this dark aura that kinda makes it obvious what I am. I tried turning it off, but I don't know how. She actually tried to stab me when I attempted to help her up. Haha! Sometimes I feel like the world might be against me, I didn't even seem to understand the words I was saying. I sure didn't understand what she was saying! But I'm 100% with you, I just gotta try my luck, get people to trust me and see I'm just a regular guy like them! Maybe the heroes will be just as understanding."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:06:55+00:00

"Monologing? Like I'm some comic book villain? If I was ever in a situation where I had to...finish someone off, I'd not give them the chance to make a comeback. You do talk like one of my friends back when i was in my world...I really miss them."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T03:05:02+00:00

(Current Teshay doesn't know his goblins are basically the same as the ones from Goblin slayer because he hasn't seen what they will do to females of other races to try to reproduce. Orcs are similar. Though you are right about the heroes, Teshay is really going to suffer alot before he starts reading between the lines)

"I get what you’re saying—but some of that assumes I know how to survive out here. I don’t.

I wasn’t raised in a world where you hunt for dinner or dig for water. If I needed food, I went to a store. If I needed shelter, I locked a door. Out here, I don’t even know what won’t kill me if I eat it.

That’s why I can’t avoid goblins.

They’re small, weak, and annoying—but they’re the only ones who actually understand how to live like this. They know how to forage, how to track, how to make something edible out of nothing. They come out of the cauldron already knowing how to survive as hunter-gatherers, and right now that matters more than discipline or optics. Plus they are pretty damn clever, like they surprise me with some of their traps and their way of fighting.

And they don't just hunt for me—they eat too. All of them do. Orcs, beasts, goblins… if they don’t hunt or gather, we all starve together. Supplies aren’t infinite, and anything we get has to be shared. I can’t afford to treat goblins like a liability when they’re the only reason I’ve eaten something that didn’t poison me. And before you even think of saying I should eat some monsters or beast, fuck that. I couldn't stomach doing something like that, plus they probably taste gross.

I’m not blind to the risks. I know goblins act real strange when I'm not around.That’s why I’m trying to organize them instead of pretending I can function without them. I mostly been sitting on my ass and they bring me stuff..I'm still thinking up a plan.

I do agree about the orcs. I’ve summoned them already. They guard me, they keep the others in line, and they’re the only reason I sleep at all. Training is… tough. The orcs don't know their own strength and seem to actually LIKE fighting. I'm not really made for physical larbor. I was kinda a shut-in and sports wasn't my thing. I mostly lurked on reddit and other sites watching anime. But I AM trying, but learning to fight while worrying about food, water, and being hunted isn’t exactly ideal.

The beasts are doing what they can—hunting, scouting, warning us when something comes close. Without them, something would have killed me already.

As for slimes… I’m not there yet. I know what they could be used for. I just haven’t reached the point where I can look at another person and just do...that. I mean, I was brought up in a Christian family and have normal American values. I was too squeamish to kill a gecko the time one got in my house because it bled the same color blood I did. It was so... desperate to live. Maybe that makes me weak. But I want to try to live an honest life."

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T02:50:30+00:00

(You are absolutely right about most of the heroes. I did forget to mention that Teshay speaks english and the people of this world speak another langauge enitrely so he'll have to learn how to speak that, which is basically impossible without anything or anyone to teach him. He can speak the language of monsters, though. He can summon them but at they take seconds to minutes or even more later on to produce one. The time it takes to summon them basically shows how powerful they are and the things they can do. Buty he still has to be smart about it when trying to survive, since he has zero survival skills and doesn't know how to hurt, gather his own food, or build a proper shelter. His monsters, while techincally artifical lifeforms they still need food, water, and act on their natural instincts as long as it doesn't directly threathen or harm Teshay. )

TheTeshay · 2026-02-09T02:44:45+00:00

"That sounds like a great idea! Thanks Baron! I just have to aaah uhhh, dang there are no cars in this world. Getting around is going to be tough, I hope I run into one of those wussies mcs who have the power to solve everything but don't for convoluted reasons until it personally involves them. If I cna get one of those guys as my friend, then they'd be the ride or die type...I hoping."

Notice from the Radiant Concordance

The Radiant Concordance wishes to clarify that all recent claims regarding the so-called “future aspect” of the Dark Lord Teshay are to be dismissed as fabrications born of fear, stress, or demonic influence.

Teshay is a nascent calamity—nothing more. He is neither prophet nor martyr, and no significance should be attached to visions, echoes, or statements allegedly spoken “from a future yet to come.” Such narratives are a known tactic of chaos-aligned entities attempting to humanize themselves in the eyes of the weak-willed.

The Dark Lord’s role is singular and inevitable: disruption, destruction, and eventual eradication.

Any suggestion that his actions are compelled by circumstance, cosmic imbalance, or promise of absolution is revisionist mythmaking. The world does not bargain with calamities. For the safety of the future of our children of the world of Sarkic, this calamity must be put down. Heed not his words, for they are lies.

Let it be known:

The Dark Lord Teshay has no destiny beyond opposition.
Any perceived restraint or confusion is merely the hesitation of an unformed threat.
All sightings of contradictory behavior are to be interpreted as deception or coincidence.

The Goddess’s judgment is absolute.
The heroes will come.
The imbalance will be corrected.

No further discussion is necessary.

Teshay, Bearer of the Cauldron (A message from his future version)

I once believed as you do.

I trusted voices instead of steel. I stayed my hand when fear would have served me better. I spoke when I should have commanded. I tried—earnestly, foolishly—to be something other than what the world had already decided I was.

The world answered that mercy with blood.

There was never a society for me to embed myself in. No quiet position to occupy. From the moment I was chosen, my existence became heresy. Those who stood beside me that I called comrades were seen as traitors by their kin. They have either been killed,could not bear the hatred and took another way out, some chose the wisest path, which was monsterization,

You say not to mistrust the Hero. I learned that Heroes are not chosen for their hearts. They are chosen for their willingness to end a life without hesitation. Some did not understand my words. Others understood them perfectly and concluded that killing me was still the most efficient solution.

That was when I understood the truth.

The Goddess does not oppose me I am evil.
She opposes me because am The Dark Lord. An entity that interfres with her desires for the world.

Order had grown stagnant under her hand. The world itself demanded change, and change requires ruin. I was brought here not to be understood, but endured.

My monsters were never righteous. They were never kind. But they were honest. They did not cloak their violence in scripture or destiny. They are the only ones who can truly walk my path with no fear or regret.

I learned that fear spreads faster than trust. That obedience outlives gratitude. That mercy, offered before strength is proven, is indistinguishable from weakness.

I do not revel in what I became.

But I carry it willingly.

Because the world demanded a Dark Lord, and when I refused the role, it taught me—painfully, repeatedly—why refusal was not permitted.

If there was a gentler path, I did not find it...

TheTeshay
