>>36507076I'll give you the the Maniac one for sure, but damn man, I'm curious as to how Oktavius ended up seeming generic.
>>36496591I don't really have any public areas I post my shit on, only close friends have probably seen the full scope of my stuff. This is my flagship OC though, Maple, basically just an embodiment of who I want to be in the Pokemon world and how I see things in it. She started as a Rising Star with simple pursuits, born into a family known for hot-blooded warriors and raised by a battle junkie of a father, who also gifted her her Larvitar when she was far too young for most to safely handle one. Upbringing and possibly genetics resulted in her being too obsessive about challenging herself and not pussying out, that she can never bring herself to disengage from any dangerous situation. She's still a strategist and doesn't just spam attack moves blindly, but hiding and running away are things I just can't make her do during quests.
I like to think she's developing over the last two and a half years of RP and quests to be more than that. Lately she's been getting into spelunking, and training at Melee doubles with her hypercompetitive Garchomp, but is also a seamstress on the side and is the canon explanation for some of the more odd outfits my other characters are drawn in, via commissioning her.
This is one of my only pics of her without a Pokemon alongside her, but maybe my best of Maple herself.
