Eurybia Oh no!! I'm sorry your mom had to go through that. Both of those things! But, I'm really happy she was able to stick to her guns and do what she thought was right. The best kind of people are the ones who do what they think is best for the important people in their lives, even if it's not popular! Your mom must be a really strong person (^_^)
I was homeschooled because my dad's a worrywart xD He was paranoid that I'd get mugged or kidnapped walking to school, but he didn't have the time to drive me himself and there was no one I could carpool with, either. Eccentric person that he is, he decided that his best option was to hire a home tutor
And yeah! Fair warning: They've got some weeby names lol. We're thinking of changing them, but at this point we're so used to how the original ones sound that trying out any others just feels...
wrong. Like they don't fit, y'know?
My friend Asher named his "Kiseki Yukimura" using the kanji for 'miracle' and 'snowy village'
He's 1/3 water-nymph and looks completely human, but he also can't breathe underwater or purify tainted water since his blood's too diluted. He can, however, control water to a certain degree! Basically he's a water bender I guess?? He loves rainstorms and sometimes just runs out into them without an umbrella or a raincoat and just... Stands there, face to the sky, feeling the raindrops pelt his face and loving every second of it.
He's actually really studious and a practical kind of guy, even if you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance because of his three-tone hair, casually punk clothes, and ear piercings.
Super dry sense of humor. Tries to be the responsible one in the group but ends up failing a lot because of his short temper. Or rather, it's not that he has a short temper? More like a low tolerance for the shenanigans his best friend gets into that he himself doesn't enable.
My OC is his adoptive younger sibling!
Then there's Akira Shirogane, Akira spelled with the kanji for 'come after,' 'pray,' and 'good,' (Ian interpreted it to mean 'the good that comes after prayer' but we're not really sure how you'd read that?) and Shirogane spelled with 'white' and 'gold'. He's half kitsune and is Kiseki's best friend, even though most of what he does drives Kiseki absolutely insane. He's tries to be a charmer and is playfully flirtatious a lot of the time, buuuut he also has a mean streak when it comes to causing mischief. He
loves playing pranks and has a kind of warped sense of justice? He's also very mouthy and blunt towards guys lol. Doesn't pull any punches and will cheerfully call someone out. He also has a habit of saying things that he knows will make someone mad just because he thinks it's funny how they get worked up--
The best way to sum him up would be 'lovable *******', I guess? He's also really touchy-feely with friends.
Despite some of his quirks, he really does care about his friends and he and Kiseki as a pair are nigh-unstoppable, especially when he actually manages to convince Kiseki to go along with some hairbrained idea or another
Plumeria, my best friend, named her OC "Sumomo Mutou". Her OC's name is the most straightforward, meaning "Plum" and "Wisteria Illusion". She's just a normal human for the most part, no special powers or anything like that, unless you count her being OBSCENELY good at games. She's the group strategist. She's also very tiny and cute and sometimes uses this to her advantage. One of her favorite things to do is torture my OC by making them dress up in feminine clothes and makeup LOL. She's really good at conflict deescalation and making negotiations as well, so normally any PR stuff gets left to her. This is also where the tiny, cute, and harmless looking part comes in handy. Since she's so small and doesn't have good reach with most weapons or hand-to-hand, she fights using a collapsible staff. She's trying to learn how to become a tamer/summoner, but so far she hasn't had much luck.
And finally there's my OC, Kisa Baldrsen! Kisa's first name is actually Russian for 'kitty', and their last name is a reference to the norse god of light Baldr. They're agender and usually choose to present as masculine while in public, so most people assume they're male and use male pronouns for them. They don't really bother to correct them because they don't think it matters whether they're a guy or a girl as long as they're treated with respect. However, they kiiiind of hate how so many people will treat a girl completely differently from a guy, which is the reason why they bother with presenting masc.
Another reason they do this though is because it makes it easier for them to keep their public life separate from their life as an idol. Their idol stage name is actually my username! As an idol they appear exclusively as female, which makes it super easy for them to walk around unnoticed in day to day life. They don't actually understand people all that well, though, and have a lot of trouble connecting with others with just talking, so they try to let their music do it for them.
