He/Him. I write, code, and love OCs. Sometimes I video edit memes. ❎ Expect mostly art reposts! I'm not good at being outspoken about myself or my characters 😇 (also sorry but artificial int banners/pfps usually = block, out of an abundance of caution)

A picture of a tabloid that says "BEAT THE MEATLES" in enormous Impact Font-like text. That's the most important part, but the significantly smaller "COME TOGETHER" in a pink box above the main title is also worth some note.
A video of a bunny being very grumpy and their owner talking to them, but every instance of the bunny's name (Ludwig) has been replaced with a text-to-speech voice saying "Billy." Multiple voice lines of Billy from Deadlock have been added, as if the bunny is saying them. The heavy melee sound effect plays every time the bunny thumps.
a japanese storefront or clinic or something. there is a skeleton
An outfit of black sweatpants, a black jacket, and a black graphic tee with a design saying "Optimistic Nihilist." The wearer is taking a wide-footed, forward leaning stance, pulling their attendee badge taut and to their left.
An outfit of grey sweatpants, a black quilted jacket, and brown graphic T-shirt with a pastel rainbow in the center of a thin white outline, somewhat reminiscent of a game cartridge. It says: "Aesthetician Labs Ultra High Quality VIDEO GAMES Made in Rochester, NY es•the•ti•shn est. 2018"
An otherwise all-black outfit with a T-shirt bearing a blue, pink, and white design of a fire-breathing dragon, surrounded by the words "TRANS RIGHTS." A volunteer badge is shifted to the side, and a ribbon hangs off the bottom that says "TUMMY ACHE SURVIVOR (VERY BRAVE)" in Comic Sans font, alongside a blob with puppy dog eyes next to it.
Lucien, a pale red skinned man with sweeping, medium-length black hair, coming down to the base of his jaw and framing his face. A pair of black horns with a gentle sheen sprout from his forehead, near his temples. His eyes are a bright, saturated red, and he has a small, straight scar running horizontally across his left cheek, a bit under his left eye. Stylized black clouds or smoke billow around his neck and shoulders, emblematic of his power over the element of darkness (though in the story, darkness is typically represented by a black energy that's almost a cross between light and electricity). Image created with Picrew, via https://picrew.me/image_maker/695783.
Akio, a man with beige skin, red-grey eyes, and truly red hair, a touch desaturated. His bangs are pushed back, coming to a point in the middle of his head with the rest of his spiky, short hair, giving a sense of ordered chaos. We wears a serene, yet sharp and confident half-smirk, and a thin scar runs horizontally across the bridge of his nose. The background is decorated with thick wisps of golden smoke, suggestive of all the fire he's stoked, external and internal. Image created with Picrew, via https://picrew.me/image_maker/695783.
Corryl, a stony-looking black man with a prominent facial scar. Given the limitations of Picrew, the scar is inaccurate; what it ought to look like is a jagged claw mark spanning from his left temple to the bottom of his right cheek. His eyes are a cold grey, and a pair of marks on the image give the impression of a dignified, angular jaw. In this picture, he wears a tight-fitting grey turtleneck, likely not something he'd actually wear, but would be plausible and fits his image well enough.

Zade, a light-brown skinned man with rich brown hair swept up and back, with a sparse few locks hanging down over his right eye. His thick eyebrows, stubble beard/mustache, broad shoulders, and intense golden eyes might make him imposing, if it weren't for his warm, effortless smile. In this picture, he wears a white sweater. His left hand is visible, as if he's leaning forward while seated, showing a simple yet lustrous golden ring upon his left ring finger. The background, to his right, is decorated with a couple of sparkles doodled in white. Image created with Picrew, via https://picrew.me/image_maker/19573.
Vanessa, a fair-skinned blonde woman with bright sky-blue eyes, looking at the viewer with a confident, maybe interested look. She has one hand on her hip, and is playing with/pushing aside the hair on her shoulder with the other. She's wearing a pair of white jeans with a brown belt, and a purple, close-fitting, long-sleeved shirt with a window to her chest. The background is decorated with a pastel-purple circle that has her name in cursive and the outline of some clouds etched in white. Commission by @scarchou.com.
Trevor, a fair-skinned man with yellow eyes and swept back blonde hair. The right side of his bangs arc and hang over his forehead, and a vertical scar runs down from his right eyebrow to his lower cheek. He wears white armor with a golden trim, and a confident half-grimace. His angel wings are unfurled, but likely smaller than they would be in an "official" reference.

Julie—a fair-skinned, dark-blue eyed woman with light blonde hair—wearing an off-shoulder sweater and cheeky, cat-faced grin. >:3c Image generated with Picrew, via https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/43383.
Connor Silverthorn, a pale-skinned man with green eyes, fiery orange hair, and a short goatee. He's smiling confidently, and wears a sleeveless top that shows respectable musculature (that might be more pronounced in a more "proper" reference image) and a bandaged right arm. Picrew image created via https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/22347.
Sarah Silverthorne, a red-headed woman with light, yellowish green eyes, looking to her left with a cold and calculating expression. She wears light leather armor, and the otherwise plain white background is decorated with autumn leaves. Art commission by @scarchou.com.
Wes Dawnforge, a green-eyed, brown haired man with fair skin, wearing a leather jacket akin to those of a biker gang's. His hair is short, save for his long bangs, which hang around his right eye. His brow is furrowed and his lip curled, suggesting irritation, disgust, or both. Picrew image generated via https://picrew.me/image_maker/12489.
Allen Dawnforge, a light-skinned man with short brown hair and bright golden eyes. His expression is stern and calm, as he adjusts the sleeves on his coat. The background is decorated with black and white sparkles, and a white morpho butterfly. Art commission by @raeyxia.bsky.social.
Niki Amberleaf, a brown-skinned woman brown hair and golden-brown eyes. She's wearing a white and red jacket akin to a real-world varsity jacket, with small yellow flowers stitched into the chest area as decoration. She has a confident smile on her face and her right index finger raised, as if making a point or catching someone in a lie. Art commission by @raeyxia.bsky.social.
Xavier Dawnforge, a lithe brown-haired man with vibrant, forest-green eyes, raising an eyebrow and looking a touch irritated (a signature expression of his). An art commission by @raeyxia.bsky.social.

Jay Cummings @LongFormMath: *when the villain in the movie has a PhD* Viewers without a PhD: Ah, they are just saying he's a smart villain. Makes sense. Viewers with a PhD: Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense.
Wes giving the viewer a sidelong glance, eyebrows furrowed and mouth shaped as if he's saying "tch. 😒" He wears a leather jacket with a few studs on the lapels, and white gloves. His otherwise short hair is parted to hang over his right eye a bit. Picrew: https://picrew.me/image_maker/12489

Your Result: Melancholy. You create from melancholy. There is an aimless sadness that pervades your life. It's not as though there's anything in particular you're grieving, but you still find yourself possessed of a peculiar somberness. This melancholy seeps into your art, where it becomes a directionless lament. You long to make your senseless sadness into something beautiful and bittersweet, so you depict it countless times throughout your work. It sets the tone of everything you create, filtering all you craft through a melancholic lens. There is a nostalgia for what never was, a grief for something you never had, a longing that doesn't know what it craves. These are the feelings that serve as your inspiration: vague, listless lamentations.
A doodle of a person wearing sunglasses and making finger guns, with Yudan's pale-red skin and pinstripe suit/trilby doodled over top. Caption: "you can't just kill people you disagree with and say they deserved it" that's where you're wrong, kiddo
