Hi I understand if you don't reply, but I was wondering if you have any advice to beginners who want to start making their ocs a reality? (Like in the sense of having Charecters that have been in your thoughts for a while, but it's hard to encapsulate them into physical form?) As I have some that id like to make either into a game or comic but I'm a little stuck..

Also I'm curious if there will be any other content with the best boy himself rire?? : 0

Hullo! Ah, (physically) designing characters, how fun ❤️ - there is part of a reason why I only have a handful of them lol XD; ANYWAY here are three things that help me, so hopefully they can help you as well :)

(I'll use Demon!Rire as an example as unless you are an old guard of mine, he will probably be the most recognisable of my characs.)

--------------

❓What do you know about them?

First of all since you already have your character in mind, congratulations you are most of the way there already! It's helpful to know the general vibe of them. And I don't mean the super detailed things that may arise from like..."Get to know your OC" quizzes - we are more looking for the core feeling of a character here. If you dumped this character into different AUs what things are going to stay the same/similar? Some things you should consider are:

What is their personality like? Why do they do the things they do?

Do I already have any physical traits for them in mind? Hair/eye/skin colour? Body type? Age? Name??

📝 Write a simple paragraph or some dot points about your character with these things in mind.

---EXAMPLE---

Sophisticated and charming, Rire outputs an aura of power and elegance. His pleasing physical appearance and gentlemanly demeanour usually enchants or commands people. Realistically, he is extremely manipulative and sadistic, and finds entertainment in the reactions of others.

---/EXAMPLE---

🤔 Make informed choices

Ok cool, you know something about your charac! Now build upon what you know to make them real - it is important here to try and match your design choices with the characterisation and "why"s of the character, and less with what you personally think will be cool/cute/whatever. What I mean by this is just pretend they are a person you are describing to a forensic sketch artist - you are giving "facts" as to what you think they look like not making stuff up (eg you would NOT be like "oh yeh she was totally a punk rocker however i'm going to say she wore a long flowing gown cos I think she'd look prettier in it?"*)

*Note that designing a character with opposites in mind can work out if you can at least answer the cursory "why" of it being a part of the character design. For eg maybe the punk rocker is secretly the alter ego of a socialite - flowing gowns and high fashion by day, grunge by night. Like Batman.

📝 Feel free to use dress up doll games and image searches for particular types of clothes/hairstyles/etc if you need inspiration. Thumbnail a bunch of different designs and see what works.

---EXAMPLE---

In my prev example paragraph I highlighted a few things in red. Here I'll break down how they can help craft a physical appearance:

Sophisticated and charming / elegance - to me, these combined make me think of ballrooms and black tie functions and nice suits. A well tailored outfit and someone who knows how to wear them.

Gentlemanly demeanour (well to some degree lol) - since I already know he's hundreds of years old (973 to be exact) I decided that an aristocratic Victorian-esque aesthetic would suit him. Somewhere in between a modern look and something with a bit more fantasy steampunk flair. He smiles quite genially until he's doing it with all his teeth.

Aura of power - he's got to be a bit of an imposing character so he's quite tall (or at least taller than all of my other characs) and carries himself confidently. Hooray for the ability to loom. Dark colours for this character, to cut an impressive figure.

Pleasing physical appearance - kinda stereotypical type of good looks that aesthetically most people would be like "yeh he's pretty". Athletic build - muscular but not bulky, broad shoulders, tapered waist etc etc.

Extremely manipulative - first of all, he looks rather human, for a demon - his entire species is designed very particularly like that. Then there's the sunglasses. The "why" [does he wear them] is they function to hide his eyes (one of the main parts of him that give away his demon-ness), but also as a bit of a red flag to the audience that something isn't quite right with him. I mean, look past his charm and he wears them all the time. The black and yellow colour scheme also ties in as warning colours ⚠️

Put them all together and this was one of my first sketches of Demon!Rire.

*Note that I already more or less knew how he looked other than his outfit; you will probably have a lot more sketch duds as you figure out what your character looks like.

---/EXAMPLE---

🔐 Don't lock yourself in

Despite the fact I've just said "pretend your character is a person", remember you're still their creator so obviously you have final say over them. Sometimes you'll find that they grow and change from what you initially thought of them (or you just evolve in how you draw them). Don't be afraid to make the tweaks and changes that enhance these - whether they be physical or core characteristics - and you'll get closer to the true character you always had in mind.

---EXAMPLE--

I now draw Rire with a more pronounced V-shape, longer, wavier hair, and somehow he ended up with way more pronounced eyelashes than I usually draw on my male characs. Which works out quite well considering how I tend to draw his eyes. Anyway the point of this is that these things developed over time as I kept drawing him.

---/EXAMPLE---

🍀 Try it out with your own characs! Have fun and don't force yourself to try and get it "right" on the first go.

Raph x Yokai reader (gn) who is also the oldest sibling in their family. They haven't confessed to each other yet, so both of their siblings team up to get them to confess to each other

(pss, don't rush yourself and take all the time you need with these requests!!)

La Vie En Rose

Raph x gn!reader

Warnings: fluff, blind date?, confessions, younger siblings (who have common names so you can fill it in), yo'kai/mutant!reader, aged up (over 21)

A/N: Raph! Raph content is lacking. This ending kinda sucks, but I left it open ended so if you want it to end with a kiss or the siblings finding them you have that option. La Vie En Rose -> Life In Pink. I am talking about the original version, translation at the end.

You should've known your siblings were up to something. They were being too quiet. It was almost like they weren't even home... And truth be told... They weren't. No. They were sitting at Run of the Mill Pizza with 3 mutant turtles and a human girl.

"So... How are we going to do this?" James asks, his elbows are on the table with his fingers threaded together in thought. "If Raphael is anything like Y/N, it will be almost impossible to get them away from us and go out."

"Believe me it will..." Donnie sighs, leaning back in the booth. "But we could trick them..."

"Trick them how?" Sophia questions, frowning at the purple branded turtle. "They're not idiots, they'll know we're up to something."

"She has a point, Dee." April huffs, crossing her arms. "They're both very intuitive."

"I think that's the point." Leo says, sitting up and leaning on the table. "We are up to something, aren't we? So let's make sure that they believe its something bad and we can trick them."

So the plan was set to get you and Raph in the same place at the same time. The boys and April would get Raph to Run of the Mill - your siblings would do the same for you, Señor Heuso was ready for them, a very big supporter actually.

So you when you walked into Run of the Mill after hours, chasing your siblings and saw Raph standing there with a table and candles, you were very confused. Especially when the music started.

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens

Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche

Voilà le portrait sans retouches

Raph pulled out your chair for you like the gentleman he was and sat across from you. "What's going on?"

"Our siblings have conspired against us." Raph laughs softly as Sophia places wine glasses on the table for you guys.

De l'homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Qu'il me parle tout bas

Leo serves the appetizer with the biggest smile on his face. "Why didn't you just leave if you didn't want to be here?"

"I tried, believe me. Donnie is..." Raph chuckles, anxiously rubbing the back of his neck. "Terrifying."

"They seemed to pick the right one to guard the door." You laugh back.

Je vois la vie en rose

Il me dit des mots d'amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Mais moi, ça me fait quelque chose

April was keeping the romantic music going, Donnie was keeping you 2 from leaving, Sophia served drinks, Leo served appetizers and dessert, James served the main course, and Mikey was cooking.

When dessert came, Leo whispered something to Raph which seemed to make him blush. "Is something wrong?"

Il est entré dans mon cœur

Une grande part de bonheur

Dont je connais la cause

C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie

"I have to be honest..." Raph sighs, you can see the anxiety and nervousness on his face. "I know I can always be honest with you, you're an incredible friend... But I can't be friends with you anymore, I will always see you as more."

You can see all of your guys' siblings peeking out of the kitchen door, waiting for your answer. "We're being watched... You wanna try to get out of here so they don't see?" You ask with a smile. "I really don't feel like answering that with our sibling watching."

Raph grins and stands up, pulling you with him. "I know just the place."

Et dès que je l'aperçois

Alors je sens en moi

Mon cœur qui bat

Des nuits d'amour à plus finir

Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place

Des ennuis, des chagrins s'effacent

You two were a few rooftops away, Raph had turned off his tracker so Donnie couldn't ping his location. You looked over the edge and see the Turtle Tank speeding down the streets looking for you guys.

"If you're not careful, someone will see us." Raph pulls you from the ledge so your siblings don't find you. "So..." He rocked on his feet anxiously.

"I don't know if you noticed, but I really like you." You laugh, approaching him. You place your hand on his bicep, letting it run down so you could hold his hand reassuringly. "Pretty sure that's why our siblings conspired against us."

Heureux, heureux à en mourir

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Qu'il me parle tout bas

Je vois la vie en rose

᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ Translation Below ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘᠃

Eyes that lower mine/A laugh that gets lost on his mouth/Here is the portrait without retouching

From the man I belong to/When he takes me in his arms/That he speaks to me softly

I see life in pink/He tell me love words/Everyday words/But me, it does something to me

He has entered in my heart/A lot of happiness/That I know the reason/It's him for me, me for him in life/He told me, swore it for life

And as soon as I see him/So I feel Inside me/My heart beating/Nights of endless love/A great happiness that takes its place/Troubles, sorrows fade away

Happy, happy to die/When he takes me in his arms/That he speaks to me softly/I see life in pink

They look like the amorphous smokey blobs other souls are, but unlike the colours normal souls come in, Battle Priest souls are a pearlescent white/silvery colour (...which i cannot recreate in a gif XD).

They do indeed taste different, and are rumored to have ambrosial flavours with the sensation of spicy “heat” (like a cocktail with a splash/infusion of chilli. This is due to the holiness). Rumoured because priest souls are insanely hard to collect and drinking one would be the ultimate showcase of power and wealth...even Royals who can don’t tend to do this or if they do it would generally only be once just for bragging rights.

There is something like the “afterlife” in the BP universe and that’s all i’m saying for now lol.

Nope he was met in very different circumstances!

The Nether is kind of like a mirror world of Earth, except the landmasses resemble more like Laurasia and Gondwana than the current continental drift and the majority of ocean there is fresh. The land is divided up into Sectors, which are ruled by a Royal, whom are determined by specific powers that get transferred via death - basically anyone can challenge an existing Royal to a Battle Royale (fight to the death) and if they win they become the next ruler. All Sectors are essentially dictatorships.

Rire’s sector is fairly well protected in that it borders on to a body of water on one side, as well as a swathe of ‘animal’ infested plains/wilderness and part of an important trade route on the other, so it’s kind of hard for an outside force to attack. Rire took control of the section of trade route in his area and his border is now a trading point and this is why his sector is doing so well now.

Yes - that being said i haven’t really thought of any yet haha.

He’s short sighted so if he puts his arm out straight in front of him anything beyond that length starts to get blurry/is blurry.

It’s a black floral print like

but in reverse (though really, almost any black floral print could be used). Oh he is kinda but he also dabbles in some questionable content here and there so i guess YMMV lol.

(this is a HH ask but i sometimes put them together anyway!) He avoids Rire and thinks Des is an idiot

#battle priest #hedonehigh #hh au #answer dump #ask #reply #sz #you know whats fun figuring out what flavours relate to what lol
