Also putting my RD OC Kinsley here :)c
In life, Kinsley was a navigator onboard a research vessel. Now, he's a hologram whose only companion is a humanoid cat named Smudge. He doesn't mind all too much, though.

Part 1
"you know, I swore i felt something. but I thought, 'no, if merlin were hurt he would contact me. the others would contact me."
"we were going to, but..."
"but what? you didn't want to upset Ark?"
"well no, but it's also not the kind of conversation to have over the phone. I knew you'd respond like this"
"oh, what a load of bull!"
"you know, I didn't do this when you and Gwen got married! I didn't do this when she hurt you!"
"That was different! she was under a spell, she couldn’t control herself!"
"and who's to say Ark can?"
silence.
"they're sick, Arthur. really sick. and I'm just trying to help them as best I can. same as I do with you." "you know, I thought waiting fifteen hundred years for you would be enough to prove my loyalty-"
"merlin-"
"but apparently it wasn't."
"don't say that-"
"I'm going to go visit my mother. don't follow me."
"merlin!"
-
"Kinsley, my dear! it's so good to see you again!"
a soft smile. "you too, hunith."
"what are you doing here again so soon? surely the journey can't be easy for you."
merlin and kin exchange looks. he shakes his head, she plows on anyway.
"emotional support."
"whatever for?"
a sigh, and he speaks up. "I had a row with arthur"
a laugh "well, don't you always?"
"it was... different this time."
"how so?"
"how about we go inside?" - merlin
-
"alright. now that we have some tea, why don't you tell me what's going on."
"we don't have to-"
"merlin, you specifically came to talk to your mother. I can tell her if you'd rather?"
he glares at her. hunith hides a giggle behind her mug.
merlin sighs. "it's about Ark."
"your other partner from far away, yes? the one who helped us?"
"yes."
"well you've told me Arthur has a jealous streak. I for one would very much like to meet your mysterious hero."
kin chuckles. "if they heard you say that they'd be in shock."
"bit of a humble thing, that one?"
"you have no idea." -kin
"it would be hard for you to meet them, anyway. they hardly see us as it is." -merlin
"hopefully that will change in the future." kin puts a comforting hand on Merlin's knee.
"so what's the fuss all about this time then? what's got arthur cross?"
"i... Ark, they..."
hunith waits patiently.
merlin swallows back tears, frustrated and unsure how to explain.
kin touches Merlin's knee again, gives it a squeeze. he looks at her and nods.
hunith and kin turn to each other.
"Ark is... very complicated." Kin starts. "some might say even more than Merlin, if that's possible," she chuckles.
hunith nods, looking at her son. her son who is so much older than her, and maybe always has been.
"if merlin is magic itself," she explains slowly, making sure hunith already understood that. "then Ark is what came before magic. they're the universe itself."
hunith nods. it's confusing, but the elf knows she's sharper than she lets on, and is following along.
"Ark is human, and spirit, and a god, and beast."
"they're like dragons, or the sidhe, or the triple goddess," merlin clarifies in terms hunith is familiar with.
"and unfortunately," kin picks up again, "at the moment, the beast part of them is what's winning over everything else." she holds her cup with both hands, and takes a sip. "there are... possible reasons for this. but I don't know for sure which, and unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to tell you even if I did."
hunith looks confused at that.
"Kin's like court advisor, or the village elder," merlin jokes. "got secrets she can't share"
both women laugh, kin rolls her eyes.
"so..." hunith urges.
kin inhales, then exhales. "well-" she starts.
merlin interrupts. "I'll... I'll take it from here."
"okay."
"Ark is... sick. very sick. like Kin said, the beast part is taking over. and that beast is craving blood."
his mother puts a hand to her mouth in shock.
"they can't control it," he rushes to say. "they don't want it. they're..." he tears his eyes away and looks down at his tea. "they're disgusted with themself." he whispers.
hunith's brow furrows in concern.
"and they... they're hungry. or rather... they were."
an eyebrow raised, now.
"they, well." the sorcerer starts to flush red, tugging at his neckerchief. he puts his cup down on the table, then pulls at his long sleeve.
kin decided to speak up again. "your son very nobly offered to help."
eyes turn to the elf.
"we all would have, but Merlin's the only one who got through to them."
abruptly, merlin stands up. "kin can you, it's just you're better at..." chewing on his thumbnail, he glances at his mother, straightens himself up, then clears his throat. "sorry, i just. need some air."
"go ahead, son," hunith says, leaning forward in her seat.
wiping his eyes, he leaves the hut quickly. he smiles politely at the other villagers, and strides across the pathways. within a minute, he's reached the forest, and doesn't hesitate walking in.

Andromeda’s Looks
I’ve been sitting on this post for a while because while I have a basic idea for every other character’s looks, I keep flip-flopping on what Andromeda looks like. Mainly because her looks could potentially have a big impact on how Kinsley treated the original Andromeda, and thus how he treats Andie. So I’m hoping that by getting all this out, I’ll finally make a decision or someone will give me a solution.
Okay, let’s start off with Kinsley’s design. I want him to be traditionally handsome, like a Hollywood actor. People unfortunately tend to be more trusting of attractive people so it’s an asset for him in his line of work. He’s tall, white, with gray eyes and blond hair that he wears slicked back. With all the privileges that come from being a wealthy white man in America. His hands are soft and look like he’s never worked a day in his life.
Now, I’ve already decided that Andromeda, and thus Andie, looks far more like her mother than her father. So my big issue is figuring out who her mother is. I’m leaning towards Cassandra as a name (for the Greek origins and in mythology, Andromeda’s mother is Cassiopeia). There are two backstories I have in mind and both have their pros and cons.
Option 1 is Cassandra coming from a wealthy upper-crust family. Kinsley seduced her (either for her money or as part of a gambit for one of his jobs), they married, and Kinsley successfully isolated her from her friends and family. This would make Kinsley even more horrible, give him a reason to actually get married (as I can’t see him marrying unless it had a benefit for him), and provides another basis for his wealth. The downside is that unless I make Cassandra an orphan or her family at least emotionally abusive, I’ll have to figure out how her parents would feel about Kinsley and Andromeda, and how that would fit into the story.
In this reality, Andie would likely be a blond, but maybe a darker one or have light brown hair. Her eyes would be a greenish gray that combines her parent’s eye colors, and she’d be decently tall and slim. Sort of that traditional model body. She’d likely have delicate white skin that tends to burn easily, and be easily recognized as Kinsley’s daughter due to their similar features. That makes the man proud whenever she gets complimented on her looks.
Option 2 is Cassandra being the daughter of first generation immigrants from Mexico. Kinsley would have been hired to get the owner to sell their decently successful business and he decided the easiest option would be to seduce her into trusting him. Only she wound up pregnant and Kinsley couldn’t risk her coming after him so he decided to marry her and dispose of her later. Cassandra and the baby ended up being decent cover for him so she stuck around longer than he thought.
This Andie would look very different from Kinsley. She’d be relatively short, with long dark brown hair that looks black in certain lights. She’d have big brown eyes and have a fuller figure than the Option 1 Andie. Kinsley would find this useful as if he needed to set a potential pedo trap, no one would easily connect Andie to himself. That said, it makes it easier for him to ignore her as she looks so utterly different from him.
No matter what, Andie will go through some physical changes as the story goes on though. Part of being a sentimonster is that they don’t really need to eat if they’re put back into their amoks often, so Andie was rarely fed before starting school. Another thing is that Kinsley’s mental image of what Andromeda looks like controls things, so she starts out the story looking paler than she should and pretty underweight.
As the year passes, Andie starts putting on some weight, her hair gets healthier, and she gets some real sunlight. I really like the idea of her getting freckles the more time she spends outside; though they’d be covered by the mask as Trisca. She’ll gain some muscles from fighting and the self-defense training, she’ll start experimenting with clothes and make up instead of just wearing what Kinsley dictates. I just really like the idea of Andie changing in subtle ways as she gets healthier and happier, but looking at photos from the start of the story and the end would show a drastic difference.
What do you guys think?

Part 3
hunith seemed a little shaken, but was handling it well. kin had explained it as best she could, as gently as she could.
the mother was obviously distressed at having learned her son's heart had stopped for nearly a minute, but simply said she knew he had been through a lot, and survived worse - even if merlin didn't often tell her the more harrowing details of his life anymore.
she did her best to understand the circumstances and reassure the elf that she wasn't upset at Arc. "creatures who are starving don't think of possible food as anything other than prey. the fact that your friend did, even while sick, says a lot," she had said.
what did truly upset her, however, was how long Merlin had been gone. it had been nearly half an hour, and she kept glancing at the door.
"do you think something happened?" she asked. "what if he fainted?"
"I'm sure he's alright," Kin reassured. "but I'll go look for him."
"oh, I couldn't possibly ask you to do that on your own-"
"I'll be okay," she interrupted softly. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve," she winked.
so now she reaches the edge of the woods, assuming that's where the sorcerer would go to get some privacy.
she rolls into the bushes slightly, grateful for her augmented wheels. once out of sight, she glances around. once she's sure no one is looking, she bends over and takes off her boots and socks. using her arms to scoot forward in her seat, she sinks her feet into the soil.
taking a deep breath, she takes a moment to feel the magic around her. it courses through her numb legs, and with a smile she transforms into a fox.
sniffing the air, she picks up on Merlin's distinct scent and starts to track it.
the forest is relatively quiet, and there's a sort of energy that's hard to describe. the birds watch her from the trees, curious and wary.
within minutes she sees a bit of raven hair sticking above the brush. when she steps through, she sees the sorcerer sitting against a tree, oddly still.
it's reminiscent of one of her own past experiences, but she pushes it down in favor of trodding closer.
his eyes are closed, cheeks wet. the grass around him is dead, and in his hands he holds a black feather.
Kin steps on a twig, and it cracks beneath her paw.
Merlin opens his eyes in surprise and looks down at her. "Kinny. what are you doing out here?"
"it's been a while. your mother is worried."
"oh," he responds. his voice sounds empty.
the fox sniffs the grass briefly, then looks at the feather. it has silver specks in amongst the black, like stars in the night sky. "Arc visited you." a statement, not a question.
merlin inhales harshly as he looks at the feather, too. opens and closes his mouth a few times, then lands on: "yeah. yeah, they did."
kin considers asking what happened, but by the look on his face decides not to. maybe later, when his feelings aren't so intense. "we should get back."
"okay."
the two stand up, and start to make their way back to her wheelchair and his hometown.
"is she mad?" he asks after a bit.
"no."
"of course not."
"just worried."
"I figured she would be."
a bit more silence.
"we should have lunch," kin says. "it's been a long journey. i saw a berry bush on the way."
"alright." Merlin tugs on his sleeve. "what kind?"
"blackberries."
"we could make a pie."
"merls, I think that's the best idea you've had in a while."
he laughs.
they walk some more.
"too bad Stiles isn't here," he says. "he'd love a slice."
the fox chuckles. "he is a sucker for berries, that one."
"well, we'll just have to go into a sugar coma in his honor."
-
by the time the pie was baked and mostly eaten, the sky had grown dark, giving the appearance of sunset.
"do you think it'll rain?" merlin asked.
"not sure," Kinsley replied. "these clouds don't feel... natural."
the sorcerer glanced at her, before looking back at the sky. "I was thinking the same."
"it'll be nighttime by now, outerworld."
"you think it's bleeding over somehow?"
"maybe, if Arc's involved."
merlin tensed at the mention of the name. they were the only two people still outside, as everyone else apparently did think it would rain, and hunith had chores to do that she refused to let them help with. even so, just the two of them, he tensed.
"what happened?" kin finally pressed. "in the woods?"
it was quiet for a moment as the sorcerer searched for a response.
"not much, honestly. they were watching. they gave me a kiss. flew away."
him avoiding her gaze wasn't lost on the fox. "something tells me it was more than that."
"yeah, well..." he grunted, rubbing the side of his neck.
she had noticed his new mannerisms. she knew why he did them. she didn't say anything more.
"as soon as your mother is done, you should go inside and get some sleep. I'm sure Arthur will be here soon enough to apologize."
Merlin snorts. "Arthur rarely apologizes. his ego is too big."
she smirks, shaking her head. "he will this time. even if it takes a bit for him to get his head out of his ass."
he grunts again, but wordless.
"you did do the noble thing after all," she teases. "fucking stupid, but noble."
"oh I've been known to be both," he says, "but so has he."
"two sides of the same coin..." she murmurs, before turning around in her wheelchair to go inside. "don't stay out here too long. you may have been stubborn enough to come all the way out here, but getting sick from being out in the rain won't be good for you."
"okay," he murmurs, looking up at the clouds. "you think arthur will be alright?"
"I'm sure he'll be fine," she says as he opens the door for her. "he'll be protected. by you and by Arc."
when he hears the door close, he reaches into his pocket, feeling the feather and the cloth there.
water droplets start to fall, and he puts his other hand out to catch some in his palm. when it starts to fill, he brings it up to his lips and drinks. thunder cracks across the sky.
he sighs, still facing up. "I don't know if you can hear me," he whispers, "but if you can, Arc..."
the water starts to dampen his hair and his cheeks. drops fall on his lips, and when he closes his eyes, cling to his lashes. "I miss you. and I love you."
he lowers his head, and the rain trickles down his neck, under the blue cloth, soothing his skin. "and I'm sorry too."
with that, he turns around, and steps back inside.
the thunder breaks again, a rumble, and the wind wails softly like a lonely cry.
