So, hey guys! I noticed that there was a lot of SSSS OCs circulating the Tumblr tag, so I decided to make one for myself!



Name: [ummm I haven't thought of one yet]
Age: Mid 20s
Gender: Female
Immunity: Yes
Nationality: Icelandic
Area of Birth: Reykjavik
Profession: Falconer
Languages: Mandarin & Icelandic

Bio Points
- Bound by her severe allergy and strong obligation to family, she spend much of her life cooped in the countryside caring for the farmlands.
- Her siblings, much older than she, have long since scattered to the four winds. She only knows them from worn out photographs, but they sent back letters of their epic adventures. But then their correspondences trickled to a halt. She never really found out what became of them, and imagining the worst, her childlike wonder of the outside warped to fear and bitterness. From then on, she resolved not to abandon her family like they did.
- Her parents and the ancestors before them were insistent on maintaining their Asian heritage even through the calamity. Though she is adamant on acknowledging only the Icelandic gods and customs, she learned to speak and write her ancestor's tongue fluently. Her Icelandic was proficient in childhood when she attended the local school program, but gradually declined from disuse at her household.
- At adolescence, her father found an injured peregrine falcon, unable to migrate away for the winter. Seeing that she was lonely, he gave it to her as a companion. As she nursed it back to health, she discovered that her avian companion was just as clever (if not more) and just as immune to the Illness as felines. She took to training pet how to hunt down vermin Beasts and scout for larger trolls.
- Over the years, she started accompanying cleansers during the spring purges (with a mask to keep allergens at bay) and the occasional scouting trip at Silent outskirts, but invariably gravitates back home to care for her elderly parents.
- Inevitably, the morning comes when parents, tucked in to bed the night before, never woke up again. After performing the burial rites (Asian customs, just this once out of respect for them) she's left for the first time untethered by any obligations or responsibilities. Despite her fright and grief, she couldn't help but feel that childhood hunger for adventure rekindling just beneath the surface. She faintly remembers, just about a month ago, an stranger from the outside countries giving her a unique job proposal. With nothing left for her here, she just might take up the offer...

Welp. There's our answer to the insidious vermin class trolls.

(a load of genius)
Everything on this thread is really creative and everyone is so talented! I really love the falcon, that's such a good idea.

I'm nearly done with mine but my scanner is rather temperamental so maybe you'll get to see it, maybe you won't...

The OC infodump* has all of the characters listed by profession, but I thought that it might also be interesting to have everyone ordered by which country they come from too (some people did not include a birthplace in their description, so I made a separate section for them :) ). So here is... *drumroll* everybody so far, listed by nationality!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finnish: Adrai Thell, Kahli, mamelukkikala, wavewright62

Swedish: AquaAquarion, KauniitaUnia, mithrysc, Piney, Sunflower, Windfighter, Frenci

Danish: Barbarylion22, OrigamiOwl, Solokov

Norwegian: Cheesecake, Curry, Fenris, Fimbulvarg, freddiethefantastic, Gwenno, Haiz, Ruth

Icelandic: Noodly Appendage, Vafhudr, Almond-Goddess, Dane Murgen

Unknown: Callipygous, DancingRanger, Koalalou, lenny, oliga, Sigrid Marie, SolarPoweredGirl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this useful? If so, I can keep updating it if you want!

So awesome!  Both the bio/profession (I think falconry and other uses of birds will see a *huge* increase in the Known World) and the beautiful illustration.

What great OCs! Almond-goddess, that's such a great backstory and I love how your character has so much depth and... well... character! I will get you all up ASAP! :D

This is really useful and do you mind if I put this on the infodump? I'd be glad to add you as an admin/editor if you want/don't mind!

I also am working on an infographic with all the languages spoken. It's awful. No regrets.

Man, 10 out of 10 points for style, that self portrait is just way too amazing. No word on whether cleansers operate in Iceland, but hey, details schmetails.

Of course you can add it on! I would be honoured to become an admin on the infodump, but unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how these things work..... you would have to talk me through it (if you have the patience, of course). My whole Google account is kinda like a huge, unsightly monster which I tend not to touch or think about unless I absolutely have to :)

Ohmygoddd, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love your OC! I think I may have fallen in love with that art style...

Your style is amazing, and it looks so flawless considering it's all handdrawn. Seeing the self-inserts drawn in different styles is one of the best things about this thread.

I kinda want to see Mith and Almond Goddess do a red oni/blue oni routine.

@: KauniitaUni:

Can we put an asterisk on my character only because it's assumed he's from Denmark (I actually haven't decided where he is from I might just do a dice roll based off various locations that have come up in the communities outside the known world thread.)


@:Almond-Goddess:

Beautiful right there, absolutely beautiful.
