Made a new OC a few days ago. My dog recently passed away and I needed a way to calm down, so I created OC number 12, Luke. I named him after my dog, who I had for 15 years before we had to put him down. Pain76's songs are really helping me with losing my pet. I came up with the character while listening to Haven't Had Enough. WIP backstory below
Luke was only eight years old when a squad of six Murder Drones were sent to his planet Silver-6, a sister planet to Copper-9. He was the middle child of three brothers and one sister, his father having been killed in a construction accident a few months after his sister turned a year old. They came to his city first, slaughtering every Worker in their path without a moment's hesitation. Luke watched as one by one his family was killed. All he had left was his year-old sister, who was eventually killed by D, the leader of the new squad. Furious, Luke attacked D, who found it adorable that a Worker as tiny and pathetic as Luke would try and attack someone who could end his entire existence in a heartbeat. Instead of killing him, D took Luke's left eye, leaving a gaping hole where it should have been. With no Solver to heal the wound, Luke covered it with a makeshift bandage, hiding the scars and embarrassment of failing to protect his family.
Now 15 and living alone and somehow managing to survive for seven years after the attack, Luke had fashioned a spear for defense and a tail of his own. A bitter darkness has since grown in his heart as he continuously blames himself for not being able to save his family or the outpost. Now he wanders Silver-6, famous as a story other Drones tell to their kids to get them to sleep. He got this way because he actually managed to kill one of the Murder Drones, saving a girl his age from a brutal death at C's hands. She told the story as her rescuer having a bladed tail filled with fire and a spear that could slice the air itself. One moment, he was there, the next, he wasn't, a dead Murder Drone at her feet.
Luke's heard the stories himself from friends he has in outposts scattered all over the planet, and the tail of fire wasn't entirely exaggerated, as he lined the sides of his tail with steel and his spear with flint, so all he needs to do is flick his tail against the head of his spear and the edges will ignite for a short period of time. Luke swore to never let anyone get close enough to his heart that it would hurt him if something were to happen to them, but he hasn't been able to stop thinking about that girl he saved not so long ago...
