Natalya and Alexei! my ‘end of the world’ ocs. Some info about them lifted from discord messages to my friends under the cut

He's (Alexei) the deuteragonist along side an angry, traumatized 15 year old girl named Natalya that he acts kind of like an older brother to and a voice of reason (because someone needs to tell this hurting lonely child that you can reason your way out of a conflict and that stabbing isn't the only option)

tldr for the setting is that America dropped a nuclear bomb on the Ural Mountains in like 1985 and it cut the USSR the west off from Siberia completely, the rest of the world is falling apart but the story only really focuses on Siberia as a setting

technically they're Handmaids Tale ocs but I'm just taking the end of the world scenario Attwood set up and running with it in the complete opposite direction, I watched a single episode and went "americas a fundamentalist shitshow with sex slavery but how's the rest of the world handling the end of the world" and that led me to making these guys

#ghost scribbles #oc tag #original character #I watch a single episode of HMT with my dad and then watch a play through of TLOU and think these guys up #anyway I love them and their fucked up road trip across Siberia #Sorry Nat I love you but I am going to put you through so much trauma and make you almost unrecognizable to the person you once where #Alexei can vibe though but I will put his pacifism into question in increasingly violent situations #oh and I'm also reading up about russian orthodox because you can't have a HMT story without some cultists #this is so disconnected from June and her story and world she exists in I'm just taking the world ending scenario that led to that #and running with it #Siberia is a governmentless free for all with no external help after america dropped a bomb on russia that fucked the urals up so bad that #theyre now completely disconnected from the ussr #and a combo of plague and a harsh winter and no external support ended up killing a LOT of people #this is mostly a story in my brain but I will hopefully draw some more stuff for them #OH I forgot to mention it but Alexei is entirely pre-op he spent his life pre-bomb in the closet and decided that #if the world was going to end and he was going to die he wasnt going to do it pretending to be someone hes not #tldr he decide that the end of the world was a great time to transition #he will transition physically later on in the story when they make to the Alaska
