red pens and other props

look! more ocs! you're so thrilled.
this set. . .is from my first foray into fantasy/horror.
^{otherwise known as the time i decided that zombies were the awesomest thing ever, and it all went downhill from there.}

(from left to right)

Terrence. vampire for 6mo, died at 21.
uses too much hair gel, since hair is easier to control than other things. takes iron supplements in lieu of actual human blood. somewhat inclined in a theological direction.
is in denial of a lot of things.

Mac (formerly Clay*). 24.
enjoys books and very sweet tea, on the few occasions he's not running for his life or keeping the others from murdering each other.
wears dog tags that aren't his.

Anika. resuscitated corpse. . .thing for 8mo, died at 19.
carries zip ties/duct tape/pipe closures/etc everywhere, just in case. is only marginally sane, due to the existence of a powder-blue iPod concealed somewhere on her person.
used to live in a warehouse with her 5'2 engineer girlfriend, until a series of further disasters occurred. the way things ended up, the girlfriend is dead and Anika now has no internal organs, just a mechanical torso-contrivance and EL wire to stimulate extremities.
backstory, whaaat.

Erin. stitched-together monster thing for 2yrs, died variously at 18, 22, and 15, depending on which part you're measuring from.
constructed, using a lot of stitches, spare body parts, and duct tape, by the very lonely man to the far left to be a servant/companion. due to a little accident in which he forgot to include a liver, she is incapable of affection** and has difficulty metabolizing alcohol (hint: that means 'stinking drunk')
is idealistic and likes to make pancakes for others, though she can't eat them herself.

Adrian (formerly Tayber, also formerly located in a different narrative). 23.
flunked out of med school, ended up a solitary mad scientist.
somewhere along the line, after a bad vegetarian ham sandwich, a fair amount of insomnia, and a long time experimenting on small animals, Erin happened. he's been following her around ever since, making sure nothing falls out.
doesn't sleep or eat enough. considers biology and physics textbooks 'light reading'.


i know, right? you're totally saying 'oh god, more OCs***' and wishing you could shake your fist at me in person. i'm sorry.
or maybe, i'm not sorry.
