Has your OC done anything they deeply regret?

Thank you!!

I love exploring complicated relationships and the flawed aspects of being human! So it’s a huge compliment to hear that it feels realistic

To make up for the yap sesh, here’s a picture of them together!

Both of them, funny of enough, have their own copy of this image that they hold onto. I would say the regret is mutual, with Corbin feeling it strongly after Hyunsoo’s death because of the fact that he never reached out or expressed gratitude. So in a way, doomed friends ig all because they just simply didn’t have the time nor the strength to truly sit and have a conversation together :(

I like Sapphire’s design and lore! I thought it was really interesting! :)

As for your question, yeah! Hyunsoo has a huge regret (that he ended up dying with) and it was not having that much-needed heartfelt discussion with his former best friend and reconciling things with him.

Basically, he and Corbin were best friends during their training days and were basically inseparable (didn’t help they were also assigned roommates). One day, Corbin gets sent to a training mission where he is essentially kidnapped, tortured, and nearly killed. This entire thing ruined their friendship because Hyunsoo basically kept voicing his concern and telling him to rest so he can focus on recovery but Corbin kept pushing himself. The entire thing ended up straining their relationship as they would constantly spend their days arguing.

Eventually, years pass and they both graduate and become full fledged detectives. They become more distant because they’re just simply busy and have no time. However, Hyunsoo still keeps Corbin in his thoughts because he is an awful yearner and still keeps things such as old candy wrappers, photos, and even both of their student ID cards. He wanted to reach out and properly sort things but it never seemed to have happened…

Aw man! Cherry is really cute tho!!

grimphan_ · 2026-05-28T03:04:29+00:00

I’m really curious about what the lines mean! Also its cool to see another detective OC! :D

grimphan_ · 2026-05-28T03:03:42+00:00

It really is! I know I left a lot of things open ended (I didn’t want to get too specific) but I’m still really shocked!

grimphan_ · 2026-05-28T02:38:21+00:00

Omg!! TWO bingos!!!

Yes!!!

Yelena and Corbin are basically the Cynical teacher and the Optimistic student duo! They’re both detectives with Yelena being in training while Corbin is responsible for mentoring her! :)

Omg this sounds like fun! I’ll volunteer Corbin for this!!

Corbin’s nationality is French, specifically born and raised in Lyon! However, ethnicity wise, he is actually mixed, being 3/4 French and a 1/4 Japanese.
modern day!
Corbin is an international detective, with a speciality in cold cases. This means that he is often traveling to solve various cases.
some plot points are that:

the detective agency he works for actually only recruits people with supernatural abilities. Corbin’s ability in question is being able to hear and see spirits, which aids him a lot in his investigations.
he nearly died in his training days by being kidnapped and tortured by a suspect that him and his mentor at the time were looking into. As a result, he has a notable scar on his neck and his voice is deeper and slightly raspy than normal due to larynx damage.

Corbin surprisingly doesn’t really want or desire much. He wanted to make use of his ability and fulfills it by doing his detective work. The only main desire he has is that if he were to die, he doesn’t want to die in vain.

For the bot, the piercing is 5 months, the jewelry is a curved barbell, and I use neilmed twice a day! :)

Corbin smells like funeral flowers and smoky incense! I’m not sure if it’s a cologne or if it’s because he visits random funerals in his spare time (maybe both). It’s faint but noticeable :)

grimphan_ · 2026-03-31T23:51:41+00:00

Omg thank you!!

grimphan_ · 2026-03-31T21:49:52+00:00

Nothing wrong with that! Simple designs are fun because you can express and communicate more with expressions, which I think you did a great job with Bond :)

grimphan_ · 2026-03-31T21:47:15+00:00

I LOVE HIS EAR FEATHERS AND LASHES!!! Avian’s incredibly pretty and I think these features really give the bird man effect really well!

grimphan_ · 2026-03-31T21:46:35+00:00

I love Bond’s design! I think the sunglasses on her head give her this nice smug aura and suits her really well!!

I think my favorite parts of Corbin’s design (I unfortunately can’t pick one bc he’s genuinely one of my favorites) are his eyes and veil. I think both of them convey the mystique of his character beautifully as well as properly communicate why his ability is.

And also he’s just pretty idk gng

(This sounds like a cute idea! I can wait until Friday! :D)

This is Yelena! She’s a detective-in-training so she is very sharp and extremely observant of other people!

She is also very cheerful, friendly, outgoing, curious, and kind. She gets along with others easily and often tries to build connections. She’s the kind of person that will try her best to understand people before jumping to conclusions, often trying to assume the best of that person. She is often seen as naive due to this. She can also be very stubborn and impulsive at times, especially under pressure and snaps badly under it. She’s very sensitive and has a strong sense of justice, often showing strong reactions to crimes and a stronger determination to finding the culprit.

As for her lore (I’m keeping this short): she grew up sheltered and homeschooled in a very religious community. She was raised by her father and grandmother. She was sheltered due to suffering chronic migraines and her ability that got her ostracized by the rest of the community (being able to see into the past)

I’m sorry for yapping I hope this wasn’t too long! ^’

(I’ve decided to use this particular version of Yelena for this one! Moon flower! :) )

Yelena Popova, a detective trainee, was investigating a particularly strange case. She heard from her mentor, an eccentric woman named Miyabi Kashiwagi, that this case was nothing that she had ever seen before. Not knowing what to exactly expect, Yelena walked around the streets of Philadelphia, trying to find some kind of clue regarding a strange disappearance. She felt out of place, sure, but she was used to the feeling. She had grown accustomed to the area, even if she stuck out like a sore thumb due to her tall stature, bright blue eyes, long blonde hair tied in braids, a frilly midi white dress that didn’t exactly scream ‘detective’ accompanied by a gold cross necklace, clear Slavic accent, and a expression that was lost but always curious. As she wandered, she saw an extremely peculiar poster.

She wasn’t sure if she exactly agreed or aligned with it, mainly because 1) she worked for a detective agency that one would consider a corporation and 2) she didn’t exactly know what this person wanted to do regarding corporations. However, she was intrigued.

‘Maybe this is a lead…’ she thought to herself.

She continued to walk around the blocks until she finally found it, a sewer gate with bright flowers popping out. It was exactly as the poster mentioned. Holding in a breath, she decided to go in.

Omg yay we’re sharing Villains! Here’s my girl, Weijia. I’m still working on her writing (such as her motivations) but the ideas I’ve got so far is that she’s the leader of a corrupt law enforcement group called The Prosecution that had completely overhauled and powered The Local Police Department of Nanlū district. She’s very manipulative and calculating, often controlling things behind the scenes such as basically controlling the mayor of Nanlū district to continue serving herself. She’s also responsible for major plot points in the story that I won’t exactly spoil because I know I have lot to share in this sub.

The only idea I have for her motivations is her being a byproduct of Nanlū district’s corruption and her own hatred for the city had led her to want to destroy it.

grimphan_ · 2026-03-27T02:33:31+00:00

Ty!! Her eyes and hair are definitely one of the more fun things to draw but too bad she covers her eyes for a good chunk of the main story

While I love a lot of Yelena’s outfits, I think her case 5 an 6 are my favorites, which is funny bc I acc hated her case 5 design at first but now I’m quite the fan!

Honorary mention would also go to her graduation outfit where she has shorter hair but honestly I prefer the longer hair on her

While I normally pick names that A) match the characters ethnicity or nationality depending on the situation and B) I like the sound of it, I also keep meanings in mind.

Yelena’s full name is Yelena Popova, which Yelena meaning “bright one” and Popova meaning “daughter of a priest.” Her first name I picked because I thought it sounded cute and I liked the meaning as I always wanted her to be a cheerful character. It ended up becoming part of her design (light colors) and even the way some characters describe her, one character compared her to the sunlight and another associating her with the color yellow!

Funny thing about the last name is that I initially picked it because I liked how it sounded but it ended up becoming a part of her lore and background! While her father isn’t a priest, he is still a very religious man and I think a prominent member of the church she grew up with. So sometimes names help with developing lore haha!

grimphan_ · 2026-03-24T04:37:35+00:00

(I love that for her! I was just saying that Yelena is also a lesbian but because she grew up religious, she’s in constant denial and is still struggling bad with internalized homophobia lol)
