3. Virgile 7. Vanessa but also Enzo 20. Isao 14. Oscar 30. Mieko 17. Roxanne 23. Enzo 29. Aurore u wanted for all the babies :P
Ah ah you're crazy ! But let's do this !!!
[oc asks if you’re interested]
weapon of choice? any particular reason they chose their weapon?
VIRGILE
Already answered here
But I just want to add to bunch of hack he uses (non exhaustive list) :
Red-Out (freezes the attacking netrunner for a while)
Opium (personal variant of Knockout, knocks out the opponent, making them faint)
Delirium (personal hack where the opponent has visual and/or auditory hallucinations, depending on their cyberware, causing them to lose control for a few moments)
Euthan (personal hack and variant of Cyberware Malfunction, where it can reroute and stop a vital implant. Can be lethal if misused) …
7. favourite animal? why?
VANESSA
She loves felines and finds them graceful. But above all, she adores panthers. She loves their grace, their suppleness, their speed, while remaining discreet. She has a preference for black panthers, which she finds majestic. Of course, she's never seen one in real life, only in videos. To compensate, she has cats!
ENZO
He had a fascination for geckos as a child. Especially when his brother told him that they were animals dating back millions of years, little Enzo loved playing with these miniature dinosaurs. Even today, he still gets a kick out of finding one in his tent or in the middle of the clan, and takes it in his hands to give it back its freedom away from humans.
But more simply, he loves dogs, just like his brother. He managed to persuade his mother to keep a baby coyote they found on their own, which they kept for a few years before regaining its freedom.
if applicable, can they drive? if they have their own, what color is their vehicle? is the inside neat and tidy, or a mess?
ISAO
He drives both a car and a bike. He brought back from Japan his Toyota Supra, which he bought for himself after a promotion, and which he uses most of the time. It's fast, it's easy to drive, he paid a fortune to take it with him but it's worth it. In Night City, he bought a beautiful Rayfield Aerondight which he uses more for events. He also kept his Kusanagi motorbike that he'd picked up from his infiltration of the Tyger Claws. Formerly red with stickers, it's now black and chrome. He's not a great car enthusiast or materialistic, but Isao likes the best for his personal comfort.
Oh, and they're all clean and well-maintained. Nobody smokes, eats or drinks (except for water, and that's still to come), and they're tidy. Isao is tidy everywhere.
are they any good with numbers?
OSCAR
Ah ah …. no! Oscar still has learning difficulties, despite the best efforts of his parents and then his aunt Brigitte. He can barely read, hardly write and can barely count. This is quite common in the Cyberpunk universe, especially in deprived areas like Pacifica. So Oscar knows how to count, basic addition and subtraction perhaps, but don't ask him to do more than that, it would be too complex for him. That's why he often uses the calculator on his phone, which he uses by voice, like all the other functions!
do they smell like anything notable?
MIEKO
She wears a subtle fragrance of orange blossom - ylang-ylang - sandalwood - mandarin. It's light, almost childlike, but also heady, lingering in the air without you really knowing where it comes from. A bit like her!
how did they spend their summers/free time as a child?
ROXANNE
Roxy lived in Ireland until she was a teenager, and has wonderful memories of her time there. Ireland is one of the few countries to have been largely unaffected by climate change and the social metamorphosis brought about by environmental protection laws. While during the year she lived in Dublin - one of the few modern cities where her parents worked as subordinate corpo - she spent all her summers near Galway where her grandparents had a house and land. She was able to run in the green grass, jump in the mud with her boots, and stroke farm animals. A surreal life for a girl growing up in the 2030s, but perfectly normal for an Irish girl. Otherwise, to keep her busy, she listened to music. She's always loved it, always with headphones on, listening to daddy's old rock and granny's new rock. Whether she was lying in bed, on the grass or dancing in her bedroom, music was part of her life!
how would you describe their voice? can they sing?
ENZO
This question took me a while because I was looking for the right voice for Enzo … and I think I've found it (here) For me, Enzo has a deep voice, despite the Italian intonations, which is charming and pleasant to the ear. He speaks English very well, but his mother tongue is Italian, and he has an accent when he speaks, often rolling his R's, accentuating words when he shouldn't, and -th's are pronounced -f for him. And the angrier or more excited he is, the more noticeable the accent.
As far as singing goes, he's not bad. His voice is described as baritone, so it's quite deep, but he doesn't always hold the note. You'll hear him humming and singing just a few passages.
are they associated with any particular element (air, earth, fire, water)?
AURORE
I had originally associated her with fire, but I find that this element is more suited to Misty. In the end, I prefer earth for Aurore, which is about wisdom, abundance, connection with the world and life. In a city and a world where nature hardly exists, there's this need for connection. In symbolism, earth follows fire. It gives concrete form to the conquests of fire, making them durable and adaptable in terms of materials and shapes, and they complement each other. Like Aurore and Misty.

OC as Horror Trope
Tagged by @chevvy-yates to do this Uquiz, thanks 💕
The 3 last ♥ (didn't do Roxanne, wasn't satisfied with the answer)
Tumblr media
AURORE - The monster
it was not your fault– at first, at least. you can not help being the way you are. and even if you could, would you choose to change? they met you with torches raised and screaming mouths, the only choice you had was to flee. but you will not stay away forever. they whisper your name in fear, and you will make sure you hurt them just as much as they hurt you.
Aurore is more discreet than her brother Oscar, and also different in many ways. She's my only supernatural witch, which may make her the 'monster' of the group. Voodoo and magic have been forgotten, rejected by part of the Pacifica community, and apart from a few old people, Aurore is on the fringes of a society that is already on the fringes. To say that she is a monster is pretty harsh. But I like the idea of torches being wielded over a witch, and as a history buff I appreciate that.
Tumblr media
ENZO - The haunted House
decrepit and falling apart at the seams; time has not been kind to you, has it? termites have nestled in your bones, and stray cats find comfort in your sinews. you may be victim to time and erosion, but your abandoned corpse remains a refuge for unwanted things. vermin and ghosts thank you. what greater kindness can there be than offering shelter?
Oh baby driver, refuge for others while feeling empty and ugly. Enzo is a lovely, loving boy, but has changed radically since his accident, rejecting intimacy and giving up on being loved. But he has a lot of love to give ...
Tumblr media
MIEKO - The sacrifice
a knife to your back is your first memory– it will also be your last. you cannot help but let things into your heart, such is your nature. time and time again, however, they hurt you and leave you to rot. but your heart remains open, and you continue to let more in. is it kindness, at that point, or is it sacrifice?
Mieko has sacrificed a lot in the name of honour and tradition. And I like the contrast with her brother (who has a killer horror trope), who can be the rare person to reassure him, even if it means forgetting herself.

What Does Your Heart Look Like?
Was tagged by @chevvy-yates to do this Quizz for my babies ♥ Thanks ♥♥♥
The other parts of my OCs ♥
Tumblr media
MIEKO - A guiding, golden light
Just because you cannot see your own heart doesn’t mean that others can’t. Your heart is blinding, captivating, a fire so bright that others can’t bring themselves to look away. It illuminates the path they follow and cements you as a guiding star for their own wayward hearts. Every experience you’ve lived through has built your lighthouse heart up just a little higher. You are inspirational, a light that doesn’t go out
Mieko is very different from her brother Isao. She's more sociable, and warmer too. She has a radiant personality, speaks softly, but knows how to get along.
She accepted an arranged marriage, as is usual in corpo families, and found love there. They learnt to know each other and appreciate each other, becoming friends and then lovers, and she knew how to be there for her special forces warrior. Losing him was heartbreaking.
But Mieko has a strength within her, a fire of goodness, that allows her to move forward, and to take others with her. Her brother Isao in particular.
Tumblr media
AURORE - An open door, a burning hearth
Your chest is wide open, and your heart is a home. Others are welcomed in readily and asked to stay. You are comfort and love, everything you were never given but so desperately want to provide for others. You have built this welcoming hearth with your own two hands and won’t see anyone else left out in the cold. Be careful to not burn yourself out trying to keep everyone else warm.
Like Oscar, Aurore is a radiant girl full of love. She has lived through major tragedies, such as the loss of her parents and then her elder sister, and has found comfort in Oscar and Brigitte, who is now her new mother.
She has developed great empathy, and wants to give back what she has been given. That's why she became a nurse at this medical centre in Pacifica, and why she considers herself a good witch, wanting to do good.
Tumblr media
ROXANNE - A tangled ball of red strings
Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.
Roxanne has been in the spotlight for years, building up an image and a persona that people think they know. She needs these others, but she has often confused her persona with who she really is. After all, that was so long ago. Changing her Irish name from Aodh, transformed into Anne because Irish names are unpronounceable according to some, she became Roxanne on television. She has layers that aren't really her, with fake names ! Fortunately, she's found someone to be herself with, to go back to being who she's always been, to have a cocoon of well-being ♥ You don't know her yet, but I've got a redheaded milf
Tumblr media
ENZO - Molten lava and charred flesh
Your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. The person you are now is no longer recognizable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. The injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.
Enzo got burned, literally. His accident left scars on his hands, his back, his chest, even his hair. And the fire also burned his heart.
He was a very warm, open and fun boy, with no thought for the consequences of life, and of his actions. He loved, strongly, without filters, without barriers. And he went from heart to heart with pleasure for life.
And his accident changed him radically. He closed himself off, hid the scars he hated, feeding rumors about what he was hiding. It was a vicious circle, Enzo refusing to show himself, to open up. He's always a fun, warm-hearted boy, but he refuses to be touched. He never takes off his gloves, never goes shirtless, "gloves always stay on" has become a gimmick. His conquests are always for a moment, never for a night, never naked.
He'll need someone he can trust completely to open up again…🥺

Cuba Libre if possible for all of them, I love that question 🙏🧡
Thanks for asking 💕💕
I love thinking how they smell and their perfumes. I used real brands, but it's more to have a reference than the real smell ♥
[COCKTAIL OC ASKS]
𝗰𝘂𝗯𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲 〜 if your oc wears any perfume/cologne, what’s their favorite?
VANESSA - Scandal - JP Gaultier
Vanilla - Jasmine - Salted caramel - Floral amber Sweet, sensual, feminine
A strong scent that stays in the air, following its owner. A scent that's a little floral but also sweet, that won't be forgotten, just like Vanessa
VIRGILE : Acqua di Gio - Armani
Melon - Coriander - Clary Sage Fresh, light, gentle
A fresh, masculine fragrance, as discreet as its owner, delicate and original.
ISAO : Ombre Leather - Tom Ford
Cardamom - Leather - Amber - Patchouli Strong, powerful, penetrating
A powerful fragrance, but with a subtle blend. Isao smells good, but his fragrance is imposing.
OSCAR : Boss Bottled Pacific - Hugo Boss Lemon - coconut - sandalwood Energetic, fresh, sweet
A fragrance that heralds summer, fun and parties. Just like Oscar!
AURORE : Jungle - Kenzo
Cardamom - mandarin - cumin - patchouli Fresh, gourmand, mellow
Both strong and soft, sensual and sweet, but with a touch of sweetness.
ENZO : Invictus - Paco Rabanne
Marine accord - Grapefruit - Guaiac wood Fresh, biting, sensual
A fragrance somewhere between vibrant freshness like an adrenaline rush and heady, animalic sensuality, between the sea and summer.
MIEKO : Gabrielle - Chanel
Orange blossom - ylang-ylang - sandalwood - tangerine Fresh, smooth, refreshing
A light, almost childlike fragrance, but also heady, lingering in the air without really knowing where it comes from.
ROXANNE : Opium - Yves St Laurent
Coffee - white flowers - pear - cedar Warm, seductive, soft
A powerful feminine fragrance, where its owner knows where to put her boots and move forward, cigarette in mouth, while remaining feminine.

Gin Rickey for all the babies?
Hey ♥♥ thanks for asking for all of them 💗💗
[COCKTAIL OC ASKS]
𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 〜 what does your oc consider to be their best feature? alternatively, what’s something they’re most self conscious about?
VANESSA - Her confidence. She's sure of herself, sure of who she is, and she knows the impact she has. She knows how to play it, and how to be to get what she wants. Thanks to this confidence, Vanessa knows that many doors can be opened. On the other hand, she doesn't know how to grieve. She lost two people very dear to her heart, her mother and then Jackie, and it's taking her a long time to heal. While she knows that death is a part of everyday life, she has difficulty assimilating it when it affects those she loves.
VIRGILE - His netrunner skills. He may doubt many things in his personal life, but he has never suspected that he is a gifted netrunner. If NetWatch wanted him when he was just a nomad in the middle of the desert, it's not for nothing. He could be formidable, a ruthless killer with his hacks, but fortunately, he doesn't like gratuitous violence.
But he has a lot of doubts, on a personal level, about his chances of being loved. He feels so worthless that he thinks other people will abandon him. For a long time, he believes that Panam will let him down. It will take a long time for him to realise that he can be loved.
ISAO - His calm. He knows he could be carried away by rage, a war machine consumed by the anger that has always gnawed at him. And no one can guess that under his impassive air, his poker face. He knows how to control himself to the point of pain, but nothing shows.
But this strength is also his own weakness. Being impassive and calm about everything makes him inaccessible, locked up in his own persona, his tower of solitude. But he doesn't know how to open up, he's never learned except from his sister and his former love.
OSCAR - His friendliness. He knows he's jovial and funny, and few people can dislike him because everything flows off him. All that's left is a smile and always a friendly tone. Oscar is a lovely boy, and he knows it, but he doesn't play it up. It's just who he is and how he lives.
It's not intermittent, but sometimes he's afraid of what Pacifica might become. The place is a war zone, dangerous, and VDBs are living targets. Sometimes he wonders what would happen if something happened, whether he should leave or not…
AURORE - Her kindness. She knows how to calm people with her soft voice, gentle posture and gestures. That's why she works as a nurse in Pacifica's small medical centre, helping to heal wounds and heal hearts. Her powers are a source of insecurity. Aurore is a young witch who likes to test things, but sometimes it gets out of hand, to the point of causing problems. That doesn't stop her from practising and trying, but it's not without fear.
ENZO - Already answered here
MIEKO - Her malice. She has always learnt to stay within the rules set by the family, to be the perfect little girl, to succeed … only to have all the fun afterwards. Without being a real rebel, Mieko knows how to play a double game to remain in her parents' esteem while still being able to go out and have fun. This also helps her in her work, helping her to find solutions.
She remains insecure about her future. It's mapped out professionally with Arasaka, but she doesn't know about her personal future. She currently lives with her mother, is a widow, and would like to enjoy her youth a little, but doesn't know how…
ROXANNE - Her temperament. Roxanne is a strong-willed woman who has experienced enough to say fuck off to somebody's face if need be. She's learnt to stand up for herself so she doesn't get eaten up by life, and she still holds on to what she wants.
But she knows that all her willpower is useless against the giants of the corpos. Roxy feels trapped by having sold her soul to a corpo for her show, she knows that it's an easy point of attack, a way of making it bend too. And she hates that.

PRIDE SIBLINGS : the Sugai
Tumblr media
Isao and Mieko have similar sexual paths, starting with not talking about it at home, and not having time for teenage romances. Each has experienced their first kisses and feelings with their own gender, and asking themselves a few questions. And while Isao has known both boys and girls at Arasaka Academy Tokyo, Mieko has had only girls in her life, while still watching the boys during physical training. It took them a long time to put the word bisexual on all this.
They also experienced tragic love. Isao met Kei at a society party, and a hidden affair ensued because Kei was engaged, and they knew their story would end; Mieko had an arranged marriage with Shuto, her brother's colleague in the special forces, whom she loved deeply, killed during an operation.
Mieko now enjoys a freer life as a widow, while Isao has left Japan to escape family pressure and be as free as a corpo can be in his cage...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And i totally see corpo like Arasaka giving prideshirts or goodies to their employees to show their tolerance, and then on July 1, the whole thing disappears! A bit like some companies these days...
corpo shirt by me (releasing one day) - bi pattern thanks to nora mod

🖊 for Isao Sugai? c:
Oh i didn't expect to talk about my war machine, but i'm happy ♥
For once, I'm going to talk about something happy for him (I had a tragic story too, if anyone wants to know, let them ask!) ♥
[ask about my ocs]
Isaois cold with humans, but he loves animals. He used to watch birds when he had time in Japan. He loves to see them fly and hear them sing. He especially loves lidth's jay for their beautiful colours.
His mother had cats, and he had one too. Cat's name is Dakotsu, a black cat with big eyes, not the smartest one but the most adorable, even if he never responds to his name ! His little sister Mieko had the brilliant idea to call him Nashi-Dono for fun, and ... he loved that name. The translation of that stupid name is Lord of the Pears (nashi is a japanese peer). So when he calls him Dono, and cats purrs. When Isao left Japan for Night City, the cats lives with Mieko, she bought a miniature fake pear tree, and now he likes to sleep next to it. She has MANY pictures of him and his pear tree, which he lords over. And when siblings talks via screens, she always brings the cat to say hi !
And i think i will give another cat to Isao. Taxes about pets ? He will pay, he doesn't care. He wants a new one ♥
thanks for asking !!!
