CASTING MY OC’s: Tadeas 🦏 and Xyanza 🔱 + LORE

The Children of Okoye of Wakanda and Attuma of Talokan

+ bonus: Nashuri’s Daughter - Itzia

Tadeas - The Rhino 🦏

He was a sweet sensitive and shy boy growing up, he was very in tune with people’s emotions and how they felt. But unfortunately his parents could not shield him from the violence of the real world. When he was around 8 years old, he was out playing with the rhinos (his mother often commented how close he was to them and his father said they would be his wayob or ‘chosen animal’)

He went following the rhinos, further than he should’ve been, and witnessed a poacher group of elephant and rhino hunters. They saw him and decided to try and shoot him, they wanted ‘no witnesses’ and thought “some young African kid, just get rid of him”, his favorite rhino shielded him from the bullet and died there, roaring for Tadeas to run for his life. Tadeas ran for his father and when they went back, Attuma killed the poachers and reported it to Queen Shuri. But Tadeas was forever changed. It changed his worldview. His family gave the rhino a hero’s burial and Okoye comforted her son but noticed he did not cry anymore. He was numb. She cried to Attuma that night bc while her child was safe, those poachers had taken her innocent son. And she feared she might never see him again.

After that Tadeas focused mostly on training and feeding his rhinos. His father saw how quiet his son was these days and wanted to do something, his daughter Xyanza suggested they take him to Talokan for the first time. See, Tadeas was unable to breathe underwater. he has no gills and so he had not yet been to Talokan even at 9 years old. Though Xyanza didn’t quite see why not, she didn’t understand why she and Baba went to Talokan often but not Mama or Tadeas.

So they brought him to Talokan, and told him to stay in his room overlooking the city, glass panels giving him and other visiting Wakandans the ability to see over the city. At first he did stay put, but Xyanza said “You’re still sad… how about I sneak you out and we can go play a game with the other children!” Not knowing that normal humans will die underwater bc of the dense atmosphere. Awful idea but she was only 9.

His sister held his hand and Tadeas was able to go into the depths of Talokan. They snuck him a breathing mask and the other children of Talokan showed him lots of places, he wasn’t as good of a swimmer and they had to hold his hand, but he fell in love with Talokan. He finally smiled for the first time in months looking out at the kingdom and Xyanza was proud she had been able to make him happy again.

Meanwhile, Okoye comes back to the room to entertain her son and call for her daughter only to find that they are both gone. Under normal circumstances she would’ve been calm and okay, but she was pregnant again and had already been hesitant to bring Tadeas so deep under the surface. She screamed for her husband and Attuma came running.

They sent a search party to find the children. Namor, Namora and Attuma went themselves to look from them and found them atop a steep cliff on a trench. Attuma raced toward his son and enveloped him in a hug while the other Talokanil surrounded Tadeas like “YOURE NOT WEARING A SUIT… HOW ARE YOU ALIVE????”

So they bring him back to the Talokan Palace and he is scolded by his mother who is in tears and Xyanza is given a stern talking to, but she didn’t understand he could’ve died. Tadeas is unremorseful however, he has tears in his eyes as he tells everyone how wonderful Talokan is! Shuri does a few tests and discovers that although he is not able to breath water, he still is immune to the depths of Talokan. Now knowing that his children could both train in Talokan, His father says it’s about time his son began to train with Talokanil children, but Okoye is hesitant once more.

“Umama, please… I have not known happiness in some time. Please let me train. You trust me right?” He son said, tugging at her dress and nuzzling her hand in his hair. Had to turn up the cuteness to convince Umama.

“No. You are not old enough to be trusted with such a thing! Attuma, talk to him!”

Attuma nervously cleared his throat. “I believe it is time, Okoye. We’ve held them both off for long enough, you see how their hands long for the blade.”

“We said, we wouldn’t-“

“This illustrates not forcing them, in K’iino… he reaches for it, just as we did at their age.” Tadeas looked between his mother and father and nodded eagerly at his fathers words. “How we wanted to protect and serve.”

Okoye shook her head. “I did not know better then. I know now.”

“Mama, please!” “I forbid it!” Of course, the children eventually began to sneak out and train at late night, which made Okoye absolutely cry from worry and Attuma have to scold them even if he was in support of them training. “You will be the end of your mother if you continue to act like this. Chaac forbid it.” 

Often she would fake faint just to guilt trip them, but it stopped working when their father subtly informed them of what she was doing. Okoye glared at her husband from she laid dramatically on the bed as her children shook their heads at her. After that, she finally allowed them to train freely. Reluctantly, after she gave birth to the triplets, she recovered and a year later began to formally train in the way of the Dora the twins at 11 years old. Xyanza went to Dora camps after that.

Tadeas is very close to his little triplet sisters once they begin to talk, they latch onto him and he is often the one In charge of watching them.

He’s the oldest so he’s very often the one in charge or held responsible for hijinks. He idolizes his mother and father but mostly wants to fully emulate his father. He’s a bit jealous that his sisters can breathe water and not him.

His skills include: swimming (he had to train to swim like a Talokanil, it didn’t come naturally) holding his breath for up to 10 minutes, battle ax combat, espionage, long range combat, night vision (all children of both talokan, and Wakanda were given night vision by Bast and Chaac as a gift of unity)

Xyanza - The Eel 🐍

When she was born she had gills and could breathe water as well as air. I’d on the battle field, you’ll often find her in a body con suit that changes color with her surroundings. She is known as the eel for her swimming ability and stealth.

She was able to go to Talokan and stay there for days or even weeks while her brother had to stay home until he turned 14 and he could come unsupervised.

She’s the bleeding heart (very similar to her auntie Nakia) she was Namor’s little grand baby when he would hang around them all the time. She was the sweetest baby and her mother and father predicted she would be sly and cunning. She is a master of stealth even if she is 5’11 and close to 150 pounds. She towered over her mother by the time she turns 15 and Okoye be like “🤨 you think you can beat my ass?” And Xyanza is like “mom, chill, I just asked what’s for dinner…” “I DO NOT SERVE YOU EEL” “Umama be CALM”

She is a good friend of Itzia as well as trains with the Dora often. She and her brother were close until he began to become vindictive and angry as a teenager, they still have their sibling moments but it’s hard for them to be friends with their opposing views.

“Xyanza… your brother still loves you of course… how could he not?”

“He has become so dark and closed off, Mama… I do not even recognize him anymore.” Xyanza weeps into Okoye’s arms. She misses her brother, she misses her best friend.

“He is going through things he must navigate himself. But his love for you has not stopped. He is blinded by rage right now. It happens to the best of us. Do not cry for he is not gone.” :((

She a thickly thick broad too. Very popular with all the youth of Talokanda. Wide hips, lil waists but built! She is STACKED! Call her the Willow smith bc her parents are powerful and she’s a bad bitch.

She very much is an icon in their kingdom, people wear her clothing and suck up to her a lot but it’s not difficult bc she is a sweetheart, though very competitive. When she’s being normal think Ty Lee but when she’s in a competition or match off she turns full on Azula. She’s smart as a whip and very easy to fall for. She has some of her fathers features but her face is her mamas. The side eyes and stank faces are completely her mothers.

She trained for many years as a Dora. And her mother was excited to think her daughter would follow in her footsteps but Xyanza is not the girl to be an obedient soldier. She questions authority and is steadfast in her personal beliefs.

She still has not told her mother she doesn’t want to be a Dora. Her mother is the Head of Border Defense and General of the Midnight Angels… how can she tell her nationalist African mother that she wanted to be a spy/war dog?

Her skills include: swimming (Talokanil, Contorting her body (Eel) Night vision (Talokanil) Camouflage, close range combat) Think Ty Lee from Avatar TLAB

Itzia - The Clawed Serpent 🪽

She’s a goofball fr, he relationship with her mom isn’t the tightest but she still loves her and knows her mother loves her too.

She’s much closer to her father, or she was until he began to push her away when she turned around 13… she doesn’t know why (see this post for the reason) and instead turns her attention to her closest friends, Tadeas and Xyanza for her chosen family. She’s a massive rebel and a bad influence.

She will not do what she’s told, she don’t give a fuck that her dad is the godking of Talokan and her mother is the black panther and queen. She definitely gives “I didn’t ask for this life” but she’s truly the life of the party.

She’s got namor’s trademark wolf smile, pointed ears and winged feet but besides that she absolutely her mother’s daughter. @mickimomo maybe she’s tight with her auntie ora and auntie oni 👀👀

Her skills include: lesbianism/rizz, flight, superhuman strength, Siren song of Pathos (think blue Diamond), Night vision (All Talokandan children), She has a good lie detector in her brain

X-Men 22 (July 1966)

Roy Thomas/Jay Gavin

It's Issue 22 and we open - after a fairly pointless eight pages of Danger Room stuff, yeesh - with some civilian-clothes hilarity. Lol! Lmao!

The Scott/Jean thing gets another slightly desultory reapparance here, through the medium of a vague "love triangle with Angel" gesture. This is sort of something that has been established before, but only sort of - like, Warren thinks Jean is hot, but he doesn't seem to have a particular thing for her. They just don't know how to get the Scott/Jean story really moving, so they do stuff like this every few issues.

Meanwhile, about halfway through the issue, the plot begins. Unfortunately. The gimmick for this issue is Terrible Villains: specifically, second- and third-string villains from other Marvel comics have formed a team, led by Count Nefaria (an Iron Man villain, I believe) to capture the X-Men and ??? profit. When I tell you that Count Nefaria is the least silly of them...

No, seriously. The gang then gets captured individually, each by a different villain, starting with...Plantman.

The idea that the world will cringe at the merest mention of Plantman is your first clue that the writers of this issue are themselves unable to take any of this seriously. Was there, like, a bet at the office to see what villains you could get into a new issue? What possible other explanation could there be for this?

Here's Angel being taken out by Scarecrow (Not the Batman One, TM). Oh and yes also they're all in the Mafia Maggia. Beast, meanwhile, gets got by The Porcupine...

...and Iceman by The Eel. I wish I was making this up.

The worst is saved for last: Cyclops goes toe to toe with The Unicorn and his mighty Power Horn. I'm providing pictures just to prove this isn't some hallucination I'm having.

And that's...it. That's the issue. It ends with a look at all of them together, so we can truly bask in the ridiculousness and await the reveal of Nefaria's plan next issue. Comics: there really is nothing like them.

Eddie Lavell’s been a lot of things in her time. A struggling marine biologist, a self made mutate, a supervillain, an inmate, but these days she’s the comfortably retired owner of a successful aquarium. As much as she loved the life, after her formerly distant brother Jordan Dixon followed in her footsteps as The Viper died in the line of duty, she hasn’t been able to take up the eel mantle again.

But that’s fine, because she’s found someone else to take it up for her.

Every family has its fail son. Leopold Stryker is the fail son of the Stryker family. But he’s scuba certified so it wasn’t like Eddie had much of a choice.

#yes I reveresed both their names and which sibling died. #I just wanted to draw a big lady #and I though giving Stryker a fail son would be funny #so we get both! #my art #the eel #Eddie ‘The Eel’ Lavell #leopold stryker #spiderman villain redesigns #specter spider au

THE EEL

[3justjayy3]

All the different character in my marvel universe so far :)

Daredevil, ant-man, namor

There isn’t much on these guys, daredevil patrols Hell’s Kitchen. Namor is king of Atlantis. Ant-man is hank pym, he doesn’t have a partner yet

The Eel and The spot. Common enemies to the likes of Spider-Man and daredevil

The eel’s suit is made mostly from diving equipment cause it’s cool fight me about it

The spot’s power is actively eating him alive

The Incredible Hulk and absorbing man!

The hulk has tech on him created by banner to monitor gamma levels and I think that’s neat

Well if it isn’t the first class of X-Men

Scott summers: Cyclops. Piotr Rasputin: Colossus. Hisako Ichiki: Armor. Warren Worthington III: Angel. John Allerdyce: Pyro

Of course they all attend Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters, but there are some other teachers we’ll need to meet eventually

Well if it isn’t Dr. spectrum, currently on a mission from general Ross to hunt down the monster orrgo

Well if it isn’t Peter Parker, Spider-Man and also the lizard. Not much to say except Peter is still in his sophomore year of high school at this point

Also sandman and swarm, man this spider guys got his work cut out for him

Ah yes if it isn’t the black panther protecting his vibranium from the villain venomm… but something seems off about the panther… can’t quite tell what

And that’s all so far. Along with the human torch post that is. But hopefully you will all enjoy learning of this world I have created

I will also be using the Jayy Marvel tag for all posts in this universe

I'm a cryptid in Stardew valley. I live on the outskirts of town. I disappear for days on end, purchasing daily one-way tickets to the calico desert. Nobody knows where I go while I'm there. Can occasionally be found fishing at random spots throughout town. I am never not running on at least one triple shot espresso. I take the abandoned minecarts to get around and am frequently seen disappearing into the sewers. I carry a sword for some reason. Once every week or two I will stride into your bedroom to deliver you your favorite meal. I'm a self-made millionaire. I attend all the town events and will go to your concert in the next town over. I have donated approximately 2583 items to the local museum and singlehandedly revitalized the town community center. There are rumors I can talk to junimos. I'm friends with the local wizard

#Stardew valley #most common meeting place for me and my girlfriend is level 20 of the mines #I'm so proud of her 🥲 #i give her spicy eel that i got from killing monsters in the skull caverns #seriously can you imagine having someone like that in your town lmao
