All about my OCs!
Welcome to the page where I do nothing but yap about my original characters and their story! These characters are part of a two, possibly three part book series I’m developing, that I would love to have made into a TV show someday if I’m ever lucky enough to become big enough for something like that. I have a couple of animatics, some silly videos, a whole lot of art, and whole lot of love for this little cast of characters that I’m still building out. Hope you enjoy my parajitos :3
Meridan Rhys
Role: The flawed but extremely loveable protagonist
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 24
Species: Avian (Green Cheek Conure)
Occupation: Celestial Magic Apprentice at the Academy of Magical Applications and Arts
Backstory: Meridan comes from a middle class family with a prominent position in the jewelry crafting industry. Out of a desire for the family to rise in the ranks of society, Meridan’s parents have put all of their hopes in him to become a great and esteemed magician. Meridan struggles to succeed in his studies of the difficult art of celestial magic. With how competitive his academic sphere is, friendships are hard to come by, and spends most of his free time with his sister Lillian and unlikely friend, Corian.
Corian Albernac
Role: The totally not bisexually coded best friend of the protagonist
Pronouns: He/They
Age: 24
Species: Avian (Hyacinth Macaw)
Occupation: Lunar Magic Apprentice at the Academy of Magical Applications and Arts
Backstory: Corian is a fellow magician student who shares many classes with Meridan. The two form a friendship after formally meeting in the academy library. Unlike Meridan, Corian is quite charming, flirtatious, yet very devoted to his studies. The competitive pressures of the academy weigh on him daily, and he constantly searches for an escape from the stress, and discovers that relief through both of the Rhys siblings.
Lillian Rhys
Role: The optimistic emotional support character
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 21
Species: Avian (Green Cheek Conure)
Occupation: Junior Jewelry Craftswoman
Backstory: Lillian, Meridan’s sister is dedicated to continuing her family’s jewelry making legacy, and hopes to run her father’s jewelry business in the future. She’s detail oriented, focused, and loves collecting shiny things. She’s Meridan’s source of comfort and encouragement, and cares deeply for her brother. She’s friendly, outgoing, a true ray of sunshine to all who meet her. After meeting Meridan’s friend Corian, and the two begin to form hints of a romantic attraction towards each other, which Meridan isn’t sure how to process.
Aravis Nara
Role: The upperclassman/mentor figure
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 27
Species: Avian (Black Winged Lory)
Occupation: Advanced Celestial Mage
Backstory: Aravis is an upperclassman studying astral magic just like Meridan. He’s placed as Meridan’s mentor, and is surprised by Meridan’s affinity for celestial magic, though his underclassman struggles to often control or properly cast spells. Aravis is very proud of how far he’s climbed in the academy, and is extremely cutthroat and serious about maintaining his status and treats all other students as potential threats, including Meridan himself. He’s intelligent, cunning, but often finds his popularity among younger students to be a curse and a distraction from his studies.
Ghalia Roux
Role: The gorgeous femme fatale
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 27
Species: Avian (Galah Parrot)
Occupation: Advanced Lunar Mage
Backstory: Ghalia, much like Aravis, is one of the most popular students at the academy, particularly for her beauty. She often works as a model for artists and designers, which has taken her far in avian society. She is very skilled at reading lunar runes and dream interpretation, and is closely connected with the royal court, observing the avoidant king Liraz closely. She and Aravis work closely to surpass beyond the academy, and become councilors themselves, so they may have the influence to finally take action against the insectoids on the ground below.
Ghalia and Aravis are childhood best friends, with Aravis seeing Ghalia’s father as a mentor and second father figure for him. It was the death of Ghalia’s father during a skirmish with the inhabitants of Ru’Ann that pushed her and Aravis to desire more direct action be taken against the insectoids.
Soleil Sirano
Role: The Head Over Heels Lover And Corian’s Worst Nightmare
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 23
Species: Avian (Moon Cheek Conure)
Occupation: Musician
Backstory: Soleil, the daughter of one of the king’s councilors, is very sweet but anxious over being in an arranged marriage with Meridan. However, after observing him from a distance, and then meeting him officially at a gala, she falls head over heels in love with him after seeing how much he cares for his sister and his dedication to his studies. She decides to change her stance; maybe she could make this work out after all. However, she’s finding it very difficult to prove her love to Meridan when Corian is clearly standing in the way with his own romantic interests...
The Reaper
Role: Antagonist
Pronouns: They/Them
Age: Unknown
Species: Death’s Head Hawkmoth
Occupation: Death Squad Insurgent Group Leader
Backstory: Little is known of The Reaper’s past. They are the bringer of death to any fallen avians that may cross their path, and have led several attacks against the lower elevation floating islands. The Reaper is a ruthless, merciless killer with a burning vengeance and rage towards the avian species as a whole. Their philosophy is one of kill or be killed, survival of the fittest and wisest, and will not hesitate to act on the extremes.
