I swear I'm alive! Something I've been working on is redeveloping my older OCs Haelda and co into my Godforged worldbuilding project. So far I've just drawn Acathera and Haelda, but I at least know what I want to do for everyone!

Haelda is a Tenku from a wealthy family. Her father was absent her whole life, breaking up with her mother when he found out she was pregnant and was never seen again. Her mother passed away when Haelda was very young, and she went to live with her aunt, uncle and cousin. Her aunt and uncle always saw her as something of a burden and disliked her for a variety of reasons, which made home life difficult. She is kicked out upon turning 18 despite her cousin's attempts to smooth things over, and forced to find her own way in the world. She's not sure what she wants to do with her life yet, but probably something with animals.

Acathera is a human werecat from the city. Infected when she was a teenager she's honestly pretty chill about the whole thing, she thinks its kinda cool and would shift more often if it wasn't for it being a somewhat painful process. She works at a cafe in the heart of the city, and volunteers at a cat rescue on the side. She has an interest in medicine and nursing but thinks she's too dumb to try it out.

Chigo is a human-deer chimera from a small rural "community". The leaders had a strong obsession with chimeras and were illegally turning infants born in the community into chimeras. The cult was discovered and appropriately dealt with when Chigo was still very young, leaving them in foster care. Chimeric sophonts are very taboo, Chigo luckily passes as a Satyr but despite that had trouble fitting in and struggles with their self-identity. Their foster parents meant well but had a hard time with Chigo's identity and giving them the support they really needed. Chigo started volunteering at the library as a teenager, and pursues it as a career in tertiary education.

Hava is a karura from the same town as Haelda, and briefly even went to the same school as her when they were younger. He aspired to be an athlete and was showing a lot of promise, however an injury took him out of it permanently. He's an optimist though and didn't let that stop his love for sports, coaching kids games and studying sport science.

Jack is an elven shapeshifter who can turn into a dragon. He grew up in a somewhat close-minded town, and while his parents really loved him they had a hard time coming to terms with him being trans + gay, which made his teenage years turbulent to say the least. Developing a shapeshifter form was a way for him to both feel out his identity and deal with dysphoria + dysmorphia, as well as rebel against his parents. He spent nearly all of his time as a teenager in his dragon form, though these days is coming around to his human form again. He's currently in art school.

Midei is a dragonborn from a secluded mountain village that has limited access to modern technology. She eventually moves to the city because she wants to try out this whole "university" thing the youths do and learn to become a teacher. She is incredibly out of touch but sweet and tries her best to fit in, despite feeling like a fish out of water (in more ways than one).
