Planet of the Apes OC Bio: Calpurnia Cnt.
Figured I should probably write out later stuff for Calpurnia. You can find her OG bio here. You can find her relationships page here.
BETWEEN THE RISE AND THE DAWN
During her time with the apes Calpurnia and her young son Petros are both taught sign. Over the years she starts to develop feelings for Caesar which she rejects. Thinking them immoral she tries to avoid him as much as possible. Eventually she’s confronted on this by him and ends up having to tell him the truth. He confesses feeling the same, but that he is confused by the idea of having more than one wife and that he also doesn’t want to hurt Cornelia. Always one step ahead Cornelia already had a suspicion both of them had feelings for one another and welcomes the addition to the family. The other apes are less than enthused by this unity, but do not oppose it due to their loyalty to Caesar. Their unity ends up granting Calpurnia and Petros more freedom to mingle among the apes.
DAWN
Humans were like cockroaches and while the flu killed many of them Calpurnia was certain it hadn’t killed them all. If she was immune it meant others would be as well. After not seeing any for at least two years however, she had hoped that those who had survived had moved on somewhere else. When Malcolm’s group appears though those hopes are quickly dashed. She offers to investigate the humans, knowing they will be more likely to tell her the truth than the apes. While she doesn’t manage to uncover anything the events that follow cement her loyalty to the apes over the humans. During Koba’s takeover of the troop Calpurnia and Petros escape with Macolm, Ellie, and Alex. They remain hidden in Will’s old home until after Koba has been defeated.
WAR
During the Colonel's siege on the apes new homes Calpurnia and Petros are discovered and captured. Assuming she is a prisoner of war and has been brainwashed to some extent he takes mild pity on her. The same can not be said for Petros. The Colonel sees him as an abomination and a frightening idea to have to comprehend so he kills him. Secluded away the Colonel elects some of his men to try to deprogram the 'brainwashing' he thinks she has undergone. She plays along to help keep herself and the unborn child she knows she’s carrying alive. She is saved during the apes escape and manages to make it to their new home beyond the desert with them. She ends up having a daughter which she names Aurelia. Due to exposure to Nova, Calpurnia ends up eventually going mute.

Human Or Ape Part 26
Into The Unknown,
The four left, leaving the ape village and rode along the quiet empty streets. No one was around, aside from the wildlife a few squirrels skittering by the power lines. A doe and her fawn bolted in front of the group, running into the overgrown trees and vines between the buildings. Lily looked around, admiring the quiet. Rocket was tense and on guard as he eyes glance over so often the scenery. Ash was curious, along with Blue Eyes as they continued riding the streets. Blue Eyes turned to Lily and signed.
"What was it like before?" He told her.
"The streets and buildings were filled with people at one time. A city. Filled with many humans more than what you've seen at least thousands or a million." she told him. They continued to ride the sun starting to rise high in the sky. Blue Eyes noticed Rocket acting very strangely taking odd turns and stopping for long periods of time. In the ape's eyes they looked troubled, more nervous as they continued to wander around. It was strange seeing Rocket like this. He was usually more down to earth, not easily distracted by anything. Lily noticed as well as Ash by how the dark grey colored ape was reacting.
"Are you alright?" Lily signed to Rocket. Rocket turned to her and gave her a slight nod but didn't say anything. They came to a slightly more open wooded area in the hills. Rocket made his horse came to a full stopping front of a fence made of barbed wire. The shapes looked like honeycombs to Blue Eyes and Ash.
"Why are we stopping?" Blue Eyes tried to sign to Rocket but followed the apes gaze looking straight ahead in front of him. There was a building with a large dome on top that still had panes of white glass here and there. Blue Eyes saw the images of apes on the side of the building, chimpanzees: a male, a female, and a baby in the tree.
He dismounted from his horse and so did Ash as they stepped over to the fence. Lily hopped down and grabbed her crutch, walking over to the apes, joining them. Rocket staid far behind, still on his horse.
"San Bruno Primate Shelter." Lily read. Blue Eyes and Ash saw the letters standing on the edge of the roof. "Is this place familiar to you?" She signed to Rocket. The three saw Rocket give a small nod, not taking his eyes off of the building.
"Yes." Rocket spoke, his voice caught in his throat. "Rocket here. Caesar here. Maurice here. Cornelia." He made an odd sad sound. "Buck." Blue Eyes walked back over to Rocket, stunned and in disbelief and in shock.
"This is the place? Where father began the fight?" He signed.
"Yes. It's been so long. I almost forgot. Things are slowly coming back to me." Rocket said. He scratched his shoulder. "It was so long ago." Blue Eyes walked back over to the fence to Ash and Lily and pushed it open. This place was like the stories that Maurice had told him and Ash, now he was finally able to see it for himself with his own eyes. Where it all started. Rocket was the Alpha here when Caesar first arrived. He bullied his father until Caesar had conquered him first then the other apes and the humans that held them captive.
"Can we go in?" Blue Eyes asked.
"You can, if you want. I'm not." Rocket spoke and signed. "I'll will never go back in there." Blue Eyes was hesitant but he stepped inside, and Lily followed behind him heading towards the building. Ash turned to his father.
"Father, I'm going with Blue Eyes. Ash wants to see for himself."
"I won't stop you. You need to see the truth." Rocket told him. "Don't take too long. I will keep watch."
Ash ran into the building meeting up Blue Eye and Lily as they walked looking around. There were so much stories about this place. Every ape didn't have very fond memories about it. Blue Eyes remembered his mother calling it the under place or the maggot hole, he was surprised to see that it was above ground. He always imagined it as a cave. They finally reached the room with the dome from outside as the ceiling. Blue Eyes and Ash and Lily saw the artificial tree that Caesar had spoke of along with the other apes. Walls painted to resemble the outside. It was smaller than what Blue Eyes imagined. Lily frowned as she looked at the small room. "This place is like a prison. I don't like it. Small spaces."
Blue Eyes and Ash both agreed with her, starting to feel cramped and suffocated as well. Blue Eyes turned and saw many small rooms. "Cages." Lily signed. This is where his father, his mother apes had lived in.
"They're so small. Hard to believe that they were in there. Would make anyone go crazy." Ash signed. Blue Eyes walked over to one of the cages and tried to step in. He couldn't it was to suffocating and tight. He backed away. This is why Maurice never really liked talking about this place as well as the other apes. Blue Eyes and Ash were able to climb the trees and had much free space that went on towards the horizon. To be stuck in this cell, no place to run, to be free, to feel the wind and raindrops, or hear the forest surroundings. It was unacceptable. No one could live in here without going crazy. But Caesar was here, Rocket and Maurice were here longer. Before the change, before apes began to open their eyes, becoming smarter, apes were different.
Blue Eyes couldn't believe it. Apes were meant to be free, to be in the forest, not in a tiny place such as this. Ash made a small nervous hoot. Lily was feeling uncomfortable as well.
Maybe his father had gone crazy, the others as well. They tried to escape and finally did the impossible and were able to. Suddenly, there were gun fire by the entrance outside. Blue Eyes and Ash pulled out their rifles, Lily pulled out a small handgun. They ran towards the entrance, taking cover beside the walls. Bullets were flying everywhere and ricocheting all over the place. Lily and Ash fired, shooting at them. Blue Eyes peered to the side of the door to see Rocket taking cover behind a car, firing at the assailants as well.
"Up there!" Lily signed. "I'll go left and try to scare them off. You two stay here." Blue Eyes made a worried screech as he tried to reach to Lily to stop her. But she slipped through is grasp. Blue Eyes watched as he saw Lily scramble to cover from the hail of gunfire. For a broken leg, she sure was pretty agile. Then Blue Eyes saw something move in the trees. He felt the same fear as he stood in his spot, remembering when Koba had led the apes to fight. He felt Ash shaking him, breaking Blue Eyes out of his trance. He saw Rocket get shot as he clamped his hand on his shoulder. Blue Eyes made an angry roar and fired his gun. The noise made his ears ring and the weapon slammed against his shoulder, painfully as it recoiled.
Rocket and Lily both took cover by the cars as they shot, getting closer. After for what had seemed like hours, it had gone quiet. Lily and Rocket slowly and careful both came out from their cover. Rocket at waved Blue Eyes. Ash and him quickly ran over to the two.
"Whoever it is they're gone now." Rocket signed.
"We should get moving. They might come back." Lily signed. Blue Eyes frowned at her. "That was dangerous." He barked. Lily stared back at him. "I can handle myself." She assured him. "As you can see, I'm alright."
"How many do you think there were." Ash signed.
"I don't know. Maybe two or three." Rocket said.
"I don't think that they're locals around here." Lily signed.
"Humans." Blue Eyes replied.
"Yeah. This place was searched last year. No were no signs of anyone living here." Lily explained. "Probably humans that apes saw on bridge?"
"They've followed us this far." Blue Eyes replied.
"That's my guess." Lily shrugged.
"Why?" Blue Eyes asked.
"Me." Lily slowly signed. She began to play with her fingers, fidgeting them, nervously. She hated this. She was angry but also scared. She was putting them in danger. Ash and Rocket stared at her, unsure of what to say. Blue Eyes stepped closer to her, pulling her closer to him, cupping his hand on her cheek.
"I'm not going to let them take you." He signed, furiously.
The went on as the sun started to drift slowly falling down on the horizon. There were no signs of their pursuers as the group continued to ride along. There were smaller abandoned buildings, a lake, and beyond a mountain, covered in thick forest. "The coast is this way. East from here is city called San Jose. But there's nothing out there. A little further down in the mountains there were settlements. People who preferred to keep to themselves. Not violent. We should be a little safer there." Lily signed.
"Then we go there." Blue Eyes said.
"They're not going to be welcoming seeing you guys." Lily shook her head.
"Then where should we go?" Blue Eyes asked.
"We should move on to Los Angeles. The Central Valley has gone pretty wild on the north end. Make it harder for us to get spotted. But..." Lily told him before she paused.
"But?" Rocket asked.
"A lot of the valley is desert now. Traveling through it is going to be difficult." She told them. "Hot. Lots of sand. Easy to get lost." Blue eyes turned to Rocket, looking for a suggestion.
"You're leader now. This is your choice." He signed, brushing his hand over the gun shot graze.
Blue Eyes weighed his options. What would father do? What would be the least dangerous? The mountains sounded like a better idea. Less people. More trees to hide. "We head for the mountains."
The group rode into the dense woods, following the dirt trail. The further they went the darker it seemed to get. The skies were pitch black, as one by one stars began to shine brightly.
"Maybe we should rest for the night?" Ash suggested.
"Maybe we should. I don't think that we're still being followed." Lily signed.
"No." Blue Eyes shook his head.
"Blue Eyes, we need rest. You need rest." Lily frowned. Blue Eyes made a motion to his ear. "Listen." Lily blinked and looked around, listening. Ash did the same. Rocket narrowed his eyes as he looked around. It was silent. Not a cricket chirp. No wildlife nearby. Complete silence.
"Something's nearby." Lily replied.
"Yes. I don't want to find out what." Blue Eyes signed. "We need to keep going."
They rode on a little further, passing the trees, pushing away low branches that blocked their path. Suddenly, a loud holler echoed in the distance. The scream startled the three horses. Rocket, Ash and Blue Eyes tried to calm them down as they petted them.
"What was that?" Ash signed.
"That scream, it sounded human." Rocket said.
"But it sounded different. Can't be human. Nothing I've heard before." Lily signed.
"Let's go look." Blue Eyes said. They continued forward, slowly riding and staying quiet. They also looked around, staying on guard for any signs of any ambush. Then another scream rang out that sounded like the person was in pain. The three apes stopped their horses and hopped off of them. Blue Eyes turned to Lily to tell her to stay but she had already gone on ahead, following after Rocket and Ash. Blue Eyes quickly rushed over, placing his hand on Lily's chest, holding her back. The four looked ahead, peering through the bushes. There were two men, suited up in armor as they stood over someone who was lying on the ground.
"Up ahead. Human soldiers." Lily signed. They watched, trying to see who or what it was they were talking to. On the ground, was a strange ape that Blue Eyes, Rocket, and Ash had never seen before. He appeared to be old, had greying hair, Red and Blue skin on his face and posterior, struggling to get up. It's large canine teeth screeched painfully as one of the soldiers kicked him in the face, knocking him down. Lily peered closer and saw that his staff was knocked away from his hands, lying a few feet behind the soldiers.
"You stupid monkey, stop screeching. I know that you can talk." One of the soldiers shouted. The other laughed. The primate looked at the soldiers, as he tried to sit up. He held his hands up, defensively.
"H-Have p-pity." He said to the men. He looked behind them, glancing at his staff. His eyes widened a little, in surprise, seeing Blue Eyes, Rocket, Lily and Ash, hiding behind the soldiers. He was pleading to them for help.
"We need to do something!" Lily signed, urgently.
"It looks like there's only two and they're armed." Rocket signed. He turned to Blue Eyes. "Follow me and do exactly what I do." He quickly climbed out of the bushes, slowly walking on all fours, sneaking towards the two soldiers. Blue Eyes turned to Ash.
"Stay with Lily." He signed.
"Be careful." Lily signed to him.
Blue Eyes crawled out and followed behind Rocket and the two slowly approached the soldiers from behind. Blue Eyes looked over at Rocket to see his uncle make a punch at the human's head. Blue Eyes nodded and stood up and Rocket stood up as well. They threw their fists and slammed them hard against the soldiers' heads. The brute force caused the soldiers heads to slam into each other, knocking each other out. They fell on the ground. Lily and Ash quickly came out of the bush running over to the two apes.
"Nice one!' Lily signed. Ash began to lightly tap one soldier with his foot, checking. Lily bent down and picked up the staff and handed over to the strange primate as he struggled to stand. He hesitantly took it from her then smiled, as he leaned on it.
"Are you alright?" Blue Eyes signed to him. The monkey frowned in confusion, looking at Blue Eyes then at his hand as he was signing.
"He doesn't understand sign." Rocket told him. Blue Eyes looked back at the ape in front of him, surprised. An ape that doesn't know sign language, weird. He had never met one before.
"Are you okay?" Lily asked. The ape shook his head.
"Yes. Thank you." He smiled.
"What are you?" Ash asked.
"I may seem strange to you. I'm a mandrill. My name is Bumi. I was passing by when I ran into these humans. Surprising that you travel with one." The primate told them.
"She's my mate." Blue Eyes told him. Lily smiled, blushing a little. Bumi blinked in surprise, his eyes widened a little.
"Now, that is very interesting." He replied.
"We should leave before these guys wake up." Rocket signed.
"We need to keep moving. Not safe." Blue Eyes said. The mandrill nodded.
"I agree, and Crystal, you can put that gun down." He said. Blue Eyes, Ash, Rocket and Lily quickly turned their heads, looking behind them. There was a small primate, a marmoset, pointing the rifle, that Ash had set down beside the soldier as he was checking on him.
"Where did she come from? I didn't even hear her!" Rocket signed. The four kept their eyes on the small ape, slowly back away as she continued to point the gun at them. She narrowed her eyes at Lily before aiming at her, hissing angrily. Blue Eyes quickly moved standing in between them.
"Crystal, put down the gun." Bumi told the small primate. Crystal shook her head. Rocket pulled out his rifle aiming at her, growling.
"No. Don't trust humans!" She shouted.
"This human and apes helped us, Crystal. As you can see, I'm safe now. They seem to be trustworthy." Bumi told her. Blue Eyes, Lily, Ash and Rocket all kept their eyes on her, not moving. Crystal let out a sigh in frustration before she tossed the rifle back to Ash. She ran past them. The four quickly moved out of the way, seeing her run behind Bumi's leg, hiding behind him. She peered out, narrowing at all four of them, not taking her eyes off of them. Bumi patted her head, calming her down. "You'll have to excuse her. We've been through a lot."
"Can travel with us. Until we get to somewhere safer." Blue Eyes told him. Bumi nodded to him, agreeing.
"That sounds like a great idea. More apes stronger together."
The group's eyes widened a little in surprise at the mandrill's words.

Okay so, I watched for a second time Kingdom of the planet of the apes and it just confirmed my wish to write a story I had in mind after the first watch.
Just to give a glimpse of what I thought about :
A human who got infected by the virus in Caesar's time. But instead of being destructive, the virus actually worked the way it was primarily supposed to on this specific human. But instead of simply regenerating the brain cells affected by Alzheimer's disease, the virus began to regenerate every cell in the body. Because of this, this human cannot die of old age or disease.
My point is : Noa and Raka meeting this human who has lived for over 300 years, watched her world crumble and her loved ones die. She knew Caesar because he saved her (long story to tell, I'm not going to display everything for now 😆) and she grew attached to him as a protective figure. She lived with Caesar's clan until the death of his son Cornelius and then she went away because she could no longer bear to see all the beings/apes, she loved very much and who protected her, die.
So, when Noa and Raka meet her, she's just tired of everything, she doesn't really know in which period of time she is or how things have really evolved in the world. She also doesn't know if the virus is going to leave her body at some point and let her finally get old and die. Otherwise, the only way for her to die, is to be killed.
At first, she doesn't really want to be involved with Noa and Raka but when they tell her about Proximus twisting Caesar's words, she just all in to help Noa and Raka because there is no way she's letting an ape disrespect Caesar.
If I have to give some warnings about this story it'll be: angst, a lot of mental abuse and suffering, some funny moments (I hope), fluff (because of course there's gonna be fluff!), sharing moments and a lot of emotional stuff (happy and sad) and some more I haven't identify yet. Also, not sure yet if I'll add Mae in the story, but I might!
I'm not sure yet if I'll write it but it could help if you share with me your point of view, so if you have any thoughts or questions, let me know, please! 😄

Alright screw it Planet of the Apes OC’s go brrr-
Meet my trio (someday quartet?) of apes.
(Full refs are on my Toyhouse, check my pinned post!)
(KINGDOM SPOILERS BELOW FOR LORE)
Locust! A kind hearted, yet rather confident bonobo. (Rather he lacks common sense-)
He grew up in “some clan”, it’s not important anymore to him. As much like other neighboring clans and tribes they were seized by Proximus, all in the name of “Caesar”. Who ironically Locust somewhat doubts ever existed- he didn’t mind it terribly, though he found this obsession with the door equally as foolish. In his mind he thinks: If this Caesar dude is so great and powerful and made humans fall, and you want to be him? Why do you need the human stuff? Of course that question doesn’t last long.
In the chaos of all the war and flooding, he found himself washed away from any ape he had gotten the privilege to know. He fled as soon as he could get on his four limbs- deeming that this constant aggression between gatherings of ape was too much. So he set to try the “Hermitcrab” life. (Hermit. For English is hard for humans, let alone apes.)
Darwin. A weathered chimp, with a sharp mind. (May be accused of witchcraft.)
Darwin gets his name for a reason- while he isn’t hell bent on being anything like a human/Caesar like Proximus? He is a very inventive/curious ape. His clan used to inhabit a faction in the factory area of a rundown city. While few dare to touch the human work, when it gets too dangerous? He had more wonder than preservation. He learned how certain rock dust reacts to heat- meaning he held the power of fire in his hand. (Only to brutally scar himself of course.) He was lucky to not ever meet Proximus, as I feel it would go terribly-
He meets Locust because that goofy bonobo doesn’t take a hint that someone might live in the conveniently lively building- and after spending that much time alone in the city? He can’t help but conveniently take pity on them. Eventually departing into the jungle with him too!
Ari. A chill but rather nerdy orangutan. (A self proclaimed scholar of “Caesar”)
Despite living in the treetops, she is very down to earth. And in a literal sense to how they met Locust & Darwin. She proclaims its fate the way she fell out the trees onto the only other two apes she has seen in a long time. Thanking Ceasar, she watches as the two scoff? Oh boy- two misguided people! She would proceed to try and join them in an attempt to teach them about the actual words of the law giver.
Little does she know she too will find some of her ways are lies…

Saw the new Planet of the Apes movie and got a nostalgic kick to revamp an old OC of mine and draw a new one with him!
Shadow and his descendant later down the line
I wanted to keep the likeness of both their faces to show they were related, plus matching scars haha
Now I'll excuse myself and my nostalgia out for a bit~

Hiiii love your ocs Lucy and Yayo, there so interesting. I’ve been thinking and What’s the back story on Lucy’s scar?
Sorry for the bad English isn’t my first language 😅
Don't worry! English is not my native language either. Thank you for asking, Lucy's scar is the product of an operation to try to fix her vocal cords so that she can speak, because there were few medical resources and that scientists only have scraps regarding surgical knowledge, the situation was quite traumatic, at least now she can make sounds and say words, but very few

The lovely @mcnuggyy did a huge art meme for poly ships which can be found here. Since I can't art I settled on collaging the ones that worked and labeling them for the Caesar/Cornelia/Calpurnia OT3 that I've dubbed Triple C. If anybody would like to draw any of these for me I'd happily pay you.

I normally don’t make my own posts on here because of certain reasons however i do want to say something about the newest Planet Of the Apes movie.
Specifically the shipping. The shipping of the MC Noa and the human character Mae.
Stop here if you don’t wanna get spoiled about the movie or if you’re already hating what might be said.
TW for: general cursing, mentions of incest and sexual stuff.
To clarify, i love interspecies relationships. Ask any moots of mine or even look at what i reblog when it comes to those types of ships.
However seeing this ship has rubbed me the wrong way.
I haven’t seen the movie, I’m planning to just not in theaters, but ive gone through the POTA tag on both here and on tiktok. From what I’ve seen and gathered the arguments for this ship are “look! They have chemistry! Noa wouldn’t have done all this for Mae if he didn’t like or have some feelings for her!” “the cast and crew hinted a love story for them!” And even “if you hate this ship even though you like interspecies, youre a hypocrite”
But i have some thoughts on all of this.
1) Chemistry doesn’t mean romance. Two or more characters can have the most amazing chemistry and still likely be friends or platonic soulmates/kindred spirits. And that’s what I’m most likely leaning towards when it comes to these two characters.
Yes they have long gazes, yes he saves her and she saves him, yes they both look up at the stars at the end. But i feel like that’s what two people may go through if they’ve went through the events Noa and Mae have gone through.
And if anyone thinks I’m not for this ship because of the lack of sexual nature of these two then get out. Leave. Block me. I may reblog funni haha horni posts but that’s not all of my damn personality. Thinking that is inherently gross.
2) The interspecies aspect is… odd. Mainly cause I don’t think these two are a interspecies relationship at all. Genetically we share a lot of DNA with primates. Culturally the apes in the current movie are currently going through their own age of civilization that can be comparable to pre Sumeria. They’re developing their own tools, customs, language, are training animals for hunting and are gathering. While interesting from an anthropological perspective they’re evolving the same way humans have.
You can apply the last bit to any fictional species but to me its like watching a distant cousin learning how to ride a bike.
I would deem interspecies romance as shipping characters that aren’t related to the human race at all. Apes and us shared a common ancestor. So, not interspecies.
3) This entire franchise may be fictional… but that’s what worries me. People as of late will shut off their brain if it means shipping something that is obviously problematic.
Case in point? House of Dragons.
I will not touch that show because of the shipping wars. I hated watching tumblr go googly eyed for when a young teenage Rhyneara was crushing over her uncle. Hell i even saw a post where someone got a pic from a trailer that showed a hand over hers and going ‘oh my god guys shes finally gonna bone her uncle!!’ As if incest was suddenly okay even from a literary standpoint. Even if it happened in the lore and books. This is why I think the entirety of The Game of Thrones universe should not have been created.
But this is what we have been seeing.
Just because something is fictional doesn’t mean it can’t happen in real life. And if we normalize something that should remain fictional people are gonna think its okay.
TLDR; I will only see Mae and Noa as platonic soul mates. And that will remain unless something happens where its not gonna be problematic.
Oh! And please don’t bring up the Harkness test when it comes to the validity of this ship. That’s a whole other rant for a whole other day.
