finally i can post the two ocs that i've been obsessing over for the past year without feeling like "oooh i should wait until i finish worldbuilding/get definitive names for them/make proper refs".

DAIKON and L33K!!! a vegetable DJ-in-training and a robot idol! they have mutual crushes on each other but l33k has a reputation to uphold so she bullies daikon and bosses her around a lot. (unfortunately for her, daikon is into it)

more in-depth character description/lore stuff under the cut.

daikon lore: - age 23, she/they - huge nerd about tech used for music-making - but. she cannot make good music for the life of her - l33k's biggest fan, even before she got a physical form - ended up getting a job thanks to some old colleagues who run an underground venue - initially intended to just be tech support and maintenance - turns out l33k's data and body are housed here. so. now she's her personal assistant too. she's feeling really normal about this - ended up becoming a dj-in-training (probably to get l33k's attention, i haven't decided yet) - she has a big crush on l33k and is fascinated by her on a tech level too but she wants to be respectful? but she ends up overcompensating and subservient. not so secretly enjoys l33k enforcing this role - she's pretty lonely and kind of self-conscious about how she can only really seem to relate to machinery while not wanting a very serious tech job (i.e. cyber-security or military stuff) - while dj-ing does help her get closer to l33k it does also help her get closer to her old colleagues platonically and she's glad about that but tries not to make it too obvious l33k lore: - age... uh... software has been around for 20 years? she/it - L-33000 (l33k, pronounced "leek") itself is a sapient ai software in-universe. it was eventually built a physical form: this robot body! - (not really a lore thing but the yellowgreen parts are supposed to be translucent material that you can see her cables through! it's based on actual cross-sections of leeks :D) - l33k is notoriously difficult to work with. she takes pride in this and she is a bit of a bitch (affectionate) - in her robot form she puts a lot of focus on her physical upkeep and is very high-maintenance. especially takes pride in her hair and shoes hooves - yes those are her hooves you bitch - originally had turnip (another veggie guy, not pictured) running around trying to attend to her but daikon is much more suited to the job for a number of reasons - she appreciates daikon's willingness to throw herself to the wolves on l33k's behalf but thinks she's a freak for liking it so much (it is also kind of a turn-on but she will never admit it) - (if i can be honest i'm still undecided how much sexual tension is in their relationship. my heart says "a lot" but my mind says "that's going to weird people out, in-universe and irl") - anyways. l33k wants daikon to stay backstage because 1) she's a loser and l33k considers her potentially a stain on her reputation and 2) daikon could absolutely do something to fluster her on stage and she would probably malfunction and throw the whole concert off - at the same time though. seeing daikon attempting to become a dj and failing but still having fun with it gives her complicated feelings about how l33k was created to get everything perfect the first time, and it's like... jealousy/admiration/curiosity/amusement that makes her want to see how daikon does when it comes to making music mixes and stuff - she sees kind of a parallel in daikon's hyperfixation on music technology with her own knowledge of music and performance being based on algorithms and numbers, they come from these very rigid logical fields into an art form, and they're expected to make something good... she's a little afraid of the concept of relating to her on the same level though...

thanks for reading about my gay vegetables. disclaimer: a lot of this stuff is subject to change, including their names and designs
