"Your blood will be on our hands"
War and Honey having a bit too much fun~
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

War is solely made for bloodshed. Life is simply boring without a bit of pain and suffering, especially from the ones most deserving

Honey, knowing War from childhood, will follow War whenever summoned with no real questions asked. Hunt down their pray? Always

Name: Kairius Tako
Age: 18
Species: Kraken/Octopus

Kairius enjoys the friend circle he has where they don't know about his father and uncle. His father, Beethoven, is usually wishing Kairius would be making a name for himself whether good or bad, as long as he knows what keeps him out of danger. His uncle, Roosevelt is more adamant on his nephew being stronger so nothing can harm him. Neither want him to go down the wrong path

Kairius likes to try and read people to pass time to better his knowledge on land creatures and instead of matching their energy to fit in, he does his own thing and if they come to him, they're either worth the conversation or they just want to question the tentacle hair

Dance of rage with the lady in red
Day 28!!
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Rhea
Species: God
Spouse: Amdusias

Rhea is by far to be the nicest of the gods. She's often looked down upon for this as having no "backbone" yet her underling, Slayer, will say otherwise
She meets Amdusias while in the forest one morning. A man captivated by her softness and beauty who never regrets the woman he married. Rhea does have her fierce side, the lady in red, that brings out her greater power when she feels it's necessary to get serious
Give her the chance to surprise you

#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Katmir
Age: 21
Species: Atlas Moth/Illusionist

Katmir is a trickster by heart. She enjoys thrill seeking and scaring foes. Her goal was to be innocent by heart and feral by power- and it worked. A sweet smile so sinister. A cute giggle before something bad happens

Through her mischief, she finds the love of her life, Sphinx, who enjoys a good laugh with her. The pair usually have to be told when they overdo something but it's all in good fun to them

With her attitude and snakes by her side, she grew the favor of her in-laws as both a brat and an interesting addition to the family

"Calm waters can ease one's soul. Those same waters are easy to pull you in and never let go"
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Rain
Age: 44
Spouse: Tsunami
Species: Water deity rabbit

Rain in his younger days had a rough childhood. It always had to be perfect: nothing less. He felt stuck in a spiral for perfectionism until he created himself a garden- an escape to joy. This same garden, with his power's influence, blossomed with fruits and flowers. Anything he wanted. He would escape home and travel to the garden to relax
This same garden is where he meets Tsunami

Tsunami felt as though the garden was hers, unknowing of the caretaker until he showed up. She would watch him mess around in the dirt and pull weeds until one day she asked to help him. Never before had she gotten her hands dirty so it took some getting use to but it became their special place

He then takes on the responsibility of handling his own needle. A tool that grows and shrinks in size when met with the right owner. The containments inside are on magic sorts whether to help or hurt. A mind of it's own
If you can catch him in the garden, maybe you'll see them having a water fight

"Tied by your own puppets like a pet on a leash"
Betrayal right under her nose~
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Hanyan "Mad Doll"
Spouse: Runes
Species: Godly entity

Hanyan is always trying to be the best at making others happy, especially seeing just how bad the other gods can get compared to her and Runes. She learned from a human what "cosplay" was and took this as her ticket to join in on a new way of life. Dressing up herself, her puppets and dolls, and joining her is of course: Runes. He finds joy in her joy so he tried it with her~

Hanyan often performs, dances, even ice skating. She finds thrill in new things and likes learning about all the fun ways to spark some life in a boring world!

There was an incident revolved in her face being shattered. Runes now plays the big role of taking her mind off it with tricks and teasing. Maybe there's a way to mend the broken?

Never truly fitting in anywhere and still keeping that same smile
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Honey
Age: 18 (in picture)
Gender: Varies
Species: Wolf. Later becomes a shapeshifter with dark power

Honey had a rough childhood, very rough. Always been called creepy and told they shouldn't exist- this alone was from their own birth parents. Compared to their siblings, Honey was the only one to be treated this way so naturally some matters had to be taken. Honey sees through this and gets their revenge while gaining a new family in the process. The new family may not be the ideal pack of wolves they're use to but they're more family than anything
Though the smile never fades, it may not always mean they're happy all the time. They could be mad, sad, or plotting to end your life. It's all in the smile

War vs Nakano. Their first encounter after years and War immediately picks a fight with Nakano
Day 21!! Almost there
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: War
Age: 21 (Humans years in pic)
Gender: Presumably male
Pronouns: War/it/they

Name: Nakano
Age: 21 (Humans years in pic)
Gender: Presumably female
Pronouns: Nakano/it/they

This is when they were younger:
War discovers Nakano, his exact opposite, is going to be hanging around Hasakra's, her liege, side to learn how to connect with the people and takes this moment to ruin it by paying them a visit. Mischief turns into pure terror as War has a bit too much fun terrorizing the one's above- except for a certain someone who recognized this foolish behavior
Nakano pulls him aside and hides him from everyone, especially Hasakra. She ties War with his own clothes and forces him to be quiet which one makes him want to draw attention to their hiding place. It's too fun to pass up

Prospect a.k.a "The Overseer"
His visions travel far and wide
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Prospect "The Overseer"
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male (as of picture)

The Overseer is similar to Insidious in terms of age, power, status, and someone commonly avoided by their peers similar to them
He notices how everyone except his partner and War, someone like him yet higher in status, avoid him when he comes around. It never truly bothers him as it would because he finds them all better to be read from afar- he can see who they are deep down with no words exchanged. He always sees everything. From literally to figuratively, he watches and even through the pain of how some visions mess with his own, he remains as content as he can
But what exactly can he see?

In the background is a picture of when she first meets Ostara. She's very proud of the picture and extremely proud of the chance to be a grandmother
She has more pictures of her grandchild scattered around her house than she does of herself. Every single frame holds a memory she cherishes and never wants to forget
Can she see into the future? Why not step right up and try your hand at her vision~

Insidious Hassan Powers - no longer as a chibi and still up to something dangerous~
Day 18 - Mirror
#ocart #OC #originalcharacter #originalart #occultart #occultober

Name: Insidious Hassan Powers
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male (as of the image)

Insidious is rough around the edges when it comes to his peers. He's deemed as a "harem owner" and "aggressive" alongside his friend Axe whom shares similar aggression during certain events. He has "pets" whom consist of Lei, Aria, and Purgatori. At least- those are the ones that haven't escaped him yet. He takes care of his "pets" by the usual pampering and enjoys their company, unaware that some of his methods really do put a title to his name
Behind a soft smile is a sinister entity who hugs a bit too hard
