I'm sure you've seen this OC plenty of times on my sketchbook page already... So here he is!
This is Futer! (Pronounced 'Fue-ch-er', last name, 'Lii-teh') and he was my very first Origional Character! This may be amusing, but Futer used to be a girl! (No, the character isn't trans, he just used to be designed as a girl.) Eventually, as the character evolved, he became a MAN.
Futer is now 49! And his birthday is the 28th of November!
Futer is a species I created called Kauterkin. This species is a satyr-like creature with horns and ram like ears. You see those long thin tails with fluffy ends that J.D always has? Kauterkin has that too. Idk, I love the bloody tail design!
Futer has large burn marks over the side of his face, neck, chest and arm. I can elaborate on this later, but it might have to be a trigger warning. :(
Futer is a grumpy soul who pretends not to care, and will do whatever it takes to get to where he want's to be. He's often found drunk at the local bar, where he's discriminated against and often refused service for his species.
Strengths - brute strength, combat smart, brave and courage!
Flaws - not extremely intelligent, doesn't speak 100% English, impulsive, alchoholic.
This diva's name is Aquiver (pronounced 'Akw-ii-v-er). She was made not long after Futer, and ironically is Futer's best friend.
She's (apparently) the Goddess of the Sun (more on that later).
Aquiver is now ???! And her birthday is the 6th of December!
You might be thinking... Oh, how come her age is a bunch of mysterious question marks? Well, I don't wanna count back into BC.
Some fun facts about Aquiver! Her name came from a song! I was listening to the song 'Aquiver' by Milo Liana on Spotify while I was designing the character, and I decided that I liked the music so much that I named her after it!
She is unmovable, being higher than a mortal, which practically means a mortal being cannot physically move her body. She is invunerable to mind control and telepathy aswell, which means Tanaka can't read her mind. She's usually pretty emotionless, and mostly keeps a blank expression. She's practically a motherly figure for Futer, since from his young age, Aquiver took care of him and taught him English. The two are best friends to this day, even though the lore is a little... bad.
Strengths - cosmic powers, invunerability to mortals, wisdom, patience.
Flaws - God complex, selflessness, emotionless.
Technically my third OC, technically my fourth... Tsukuru was origionally a MHA self insert... (so cool ik ik no need to applaud), but as I left the horrid MHA fandom, Tsukuru stuck with me and she developed into her own person!
Tsukuru is now 18! And her birthday is the 11th of June!
Tsukuru has the unique power to shoot quills from her hair! This includes her spikey head hair, and thick arm hair patches. "Oh nooo, a feminine character with lots of body hair!"... SHHH.
These quills are pretty much similar to porcupine quills. When she gets startled and frightened, she can shoot quills like projectiles! She can use her arms to aim them aswell, like rockets! She's a species called Mutated Humans, where she was origionally a human, but was exposed to a certain virus that mutated her DNA.
Tsukuru, despite being one of the youngest in the Daydream Squad, plays the role of the 'mother' of the group, finding herself to be the most responsible, and unfortunately, the most selfless.
Strengths - quill projectiles, kindness, responsibility, leadership.
Flaws - selflessness, trust issues, stress of responsibility, PTSD.
This is Tanaka! His name might confuse you, but thats because of his unique heritage! His mother is from Tanzania, Africa, while his father was Japanese! (Yes, this makes it hard to do a voice claim for him because of the accent I'm sorry :P)
I'm also so sorry because I couldn't draw his dreadlocks the best, trust me, I was TRYING :(.
Tanaka is another Mutated Human like Tsukuru, but instead of a cool physical power, he ended up with some psychic abilities. He was at first pretty dissapointed, before realising he could literally read and control minds to some extent. Now, unfortunately, this didn't increase his IQ or make him smarter, it just let him be able to know what his friends are thinking about occasionally. He can't really read minds WORD for WORD, but rather, have a super sense of empathy, feeling what others are thinking and making judgements off of that.
There are times in the lore where he can 'dive' into other's minds and see their memories, but that's an occasional thing.
Tanaka is now 23! And his birthday is the 6th of July!
Tanaka has a little, tiny, small, itty bitty crush on Kori, another OC... and he's a bit soft around Kori, constantly trying to get his attention and impress him. He's constantly tagging along behind Kori, using his psychic powers to help Kori out everyday, even through the smallest problems.
Strengths - psychic powers, leadership, kindness, admiration.
Flaws - emotional, bad liar, too much loyalty.
He's jst a silly guy. :3
Meet Kori! Ik ik, his last name is super long, but trust me, it used to be 'Kareshi' which incedentally means 'boyfriend' in Japanese.
Kori isn't a Mutated Human, but an avian species that I haven't finished making. He does have feathered wings on his back, much like a depiction of an angel or a valkrye. I only updated Kori's appearance in the last month, so I will update eventually when I make the lore.
Kori is now 21! And his birthday is the 19th of March!
Kori doesn't exactly know that Tanaka likes him... He just thinks it a bit weird that Tanaka follows him around and constantly offers to help to the best of his ability. Hopefully they end up together... Oh wait, I'M THE AUTHOR MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
No, the golden parts are not a helmet, they're part of his crest. Same with the cool ears.
Strengths - he can fly, kindness, thoughtfulness.
Flaws - emotional, sensitive, oblivious, and a splash of anxiety.
This is Spivari, or for short, Spivy.
Spivy is now 30! And his birthday is the 30th of May! (Matching!)
Alien Lesbian number 1! She's a species called Mesothepian.
Unfortunately, since she's from a different planet.. She can't tecnically have a birthday.. We just celebrate her getting a year older at New Years. :)
Alien Lesbian number 2!
Unfortunately, since she's from a different planet.. She can't tecnically have a birthday.. We just celebrate her getting a year older at New Years. :)
GARLIC MAN
Alaric is now 26! And his birthday is the 9th of November!
This is just a short fluff story that also introduces the other characters of the Daydream Squad :D... Pls Email me if you find any typos!
It was warmer than usual, with winds strong and sun low. Kōri could feel the wind drain through his feathers, filtering through the soft bristles and blowing past his wings. He loved the gentle feeling, especially when he was high up in the air, feeling held by the sky. He watched the sun slowly sink into the ocean, folding into the waves at the edge of all he could see, exhausted.
He hummed once, before checking his phone. 8:34 on a summer’s evening. It was hot today, so he’d had plenty of cold baths. It was still pretty hot, so maybe he’d have one more before bed.
“Are yah done???” Futer called out from his jeep, sat in the driver's seat, feet over the wheel, tail flicking irritably. He’d only agreed to drive Kōri out to the cliffside for him to watch the sunset. Plus, Futer needed the drive, honestly. He’d been frustrated with work lately.
Kōri glanced back over his shoulder at Futer, receiving a scowl in return, before he stood up on the cliff face. He dragged his fingers through his long blue hair, before walking slowly back, barefoot and tired.
“Yeah… We can leave now.” He mumbled. He didn’t actually want to leave, but he’d rather not argue with an angry Kauterkin. Futer scoffed.
“Can’t wait ter get home an’ see the mess Spiv made in the kitchen.” He spat, before lighting another cigarette and biting it between his sharp teeth. As Kōri approached the jeep, he coughed, frowning before climbing in and buckling up as Futer continued.
“I told Tsukuru to not let him cook. I told her, yeah??”
Kōri huffed. “You did.”
“I know I did… She’s ignorant!”
“She’s tired of you smoking in the house.”
Futer paused, a slightly more pissed-off scowl crossing his face as he turned slowly to glare at Kōri’s witty remark.
“....Dun’ be a smart arse.”
●●●
After a long, very smoke filled drive, Kōri climbed out of the badly parked jeep, practically diagonal in the parking space. Futer stumbled out, only a little drunk, before fumbling with the keys. He mumbled something under his breath, before chucking the keychain to land at Kōri’s feet.
“You do it.”
Kōri sighed, picking up the keys and unlocking the door to their apartment complex. The squad couldn’t afford much, since only half of them could get human jobs.. So they improvised, sharing two apartments next to each other. As the two made their way up the long stairs, and walked into their apartment, they were greeted with the sight of Aquiver staring intently at the TV. When I say intently, I mean, intently. She had taken one of the dining room chairs and sat herself directly in front of the television, only half a foot away, focused on the pixels more than the actual show playing.
Futer stared for a moment, before puffing out a pillow of smoke and turning a full 180. He stormed back out of the apartment, probably to scowl at the passing by residents.
Kōri turned to look at the kitchen, where Tsukuru was desperately scrubbing at a very very burnt frying pan, while Tanaka leant back against the countertop, facing away, rambling on about something.
“-so I can’t just say it like, outloud… I need to keep it subtle. Casual. You know? Like, when was the last time you ever asked someone that?”
Tsukuru paused her frantic scrubbing to stare at Tanaka for a moment, her expression a mix between blank and stressed, before she sighed.
“I’m aro-ace, Abura. I don't have a crush on people.”
“-Who are we asking what?”
Kōri stepped into the kitchen, the tiles cold on his feet, thankfully. Tanaka spun around and froze. The hair on his arms stood up, before he grinned nervously, a single bead of sweat dripping down his forehead and nose.
“Kōri! Hey! Hi! Hello! Hi. Hey. uHm.” He stuttered, before glancing at Tsukuru for support, only getting a series of furious scraping sounds of steel wool on stubborn grime. Tanaka turned back to Kōri and improvised an excuse. “I- we need a new pan. We do. Yes. UHm. We were.. Talking about. How horrid. Spivy’s. Food… Tasted.”
Kōri stood there, somewhat bewildered, before sighing. The heat was probably getting to him, and maybe he just really needed that cold bath.
“....Right.”
Kōri left for his bath. Leaving Futer to smoke in the corridor, Tanaka to bury his face in his hands, embarrassed, Tsukuru to give up on the dirty pan, and Aquiver to do… well… Nobody could really tell what she was doing.
He closed the bathroom door and turned on the cold tap, humming as he undressed and neatly folded his discarded clothes on the tiles. His hair was a mess in the mirror, and he looked overheated, the temperature really getting to him now that he was in the stuffy bathroom. The tub filled up and he slipped into it, sighing in relief as his wings folded into the water. He exhaled deeply, splashing a bit over his chest, before sinking in until the tip of his nose touched the water, breathing out slow bubbles.
It was quiet, it was cold. Cold in a nice way. Cold in a refreshing way, like he was taking a huge drink of icy cold water at the beach. The cool water brushed through his feathers and dusted over his pale skin, soft and fresh.
His eyes melted shut and he sunk a bit further. It had been a long day. He was tired. His toes poked the other end of the bathtub, his toenails painted a soft pastel purple. He hummed, resting his head back against the acrylic tub, hair mixing into the water. The golden armoured crests on his skin glistened in the white lights of the bathroom, and he exhaled.
“AH!-”
Kōri jumped slightly, sitting up quickly in the water, alert instantly. Someone had screamed. His eyes shot open, staring for a moment before hurriedly covering himself up under the water.
He didn’t lock the door…
●●●
Tanaka stood in the doorway, covering his face with both hands, but you could see his skin going red underneath his fingers. Kōri completely froze, before yelping, his wet feathers fluffing up on his wings.
“Get out!! Get- I- ABURA!-”
Tanaka jumped slightly from being scolded, before rushing back out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. The sound of his feet thumping down the hallway echoed as he fled.
Kōri drained the tub and wrapped a towel around himself, standing up on the tiles, his own face brushed with red. Did he seriously just do that? Did Tanaka seriously just walk in on him in the bath? So much for relaxation.
