Been working cleaning up UIR Episode 12 for the magazine and eventually volume 3 and let me tell you I am mad I thought these were acceptable to post or that I even was that obsessed with that tiny ipad to draw everywhere.

Back on OC-Tober, today’s OC is the assistant, body guard and donor of Dr. Arachne, The Nosferatu Monsoon A Nosferatun vampire, Monsoon as he is called was modified by Arachne to overcome previous weaknesses of the Nosferatuns, namely dying in the sun.

He has a great disdain against humanity, although he holds no pleasant feelings to other vampiric clans, especially the Draculan. Despite this, he is ever loyal and dutiful to Arachne, it would seem the two’s history goes way back.

It just happens more times than he likes to admit, and specifically his right for whatever reason

Grimstone Garugauntua@grimgargauntua.bsky.social

Who did he fight to cause that, cause I hope it’s worth Also I can see if his enemies or rivals having his torn limbs as trophies on walls and etc

No one knows his past and he doesn't intend on telling a consistant story more than twice, all that's known is he's an undead collector of souls. Wielding deadly scythes and his own spine, he wreeks havock and destruction in his neverending greed for power and souls.

A perfect counter to the Ranger, an undying highwayman vs a regenerating ranger. Jack worked briefly for Horror show, but after a coup seemingly disappeared, no one's sure where he scamppered off to... but it seems his main boss has plans

Not able to go whole Penguins yet, Windows still has me by the balls for things like Tokon, and still kinda for CSP as I'm getting used to Linux set up Next thing I'm doing for the meanwhile is finding a good method of file transferring between drives, getting there though

Contining on OC-Tober, this time it's Ben's rival in Unbreakable Iron Ranger, Barry! A barracuda-mutate from down under who wishes to prove he's the strongest!

Contining on OC-Tober, this time it's Ben's rival in Unbreakable Iron Ranger, Barry! A barracuda-mutate from down under who wishes to prove he's the strongest!

Once a deliquent from Melbourne who became a brute force for gangs across the country, Barry saught more physical power and was transformed by Dr. Arachne into becoming who he is now. To him, there's only the strong and the weak.

Due to Dr Arachne making a deal and partnership with Styx, Barry was forced to work as an enforcer for the mad doc. Due to his mutations, his muscles are designed for strength and speed, making him a freight train on land and practically a scud missile in water.

Today on OC-Tober it's the first major villain of UIR, Dr Styx! A man man that dosed himself on a substance called Nightmare Fuel, Dr. Styx is hellbent on transforming the world how he sees fit and collecting cryptids to do it!

He is the head of a facility called Horror Show, and creator a monstrous automaton he has dubbed the Ironworks to deal with and retrieve cryptids. Despite his genius he is an unstable mind, his desperation has only lead to more and more dangerous gambits to accomplish his goals.

Today on OC-Tober is a character I've not had enter the comics yet but will at some point Descartes, a Grunch. One of a few hunters that Madame Del hired to help her find cryptids to control, Des is the offspring of the Grunches, seeking to free them from their imprisonment.

He is basically gonna be a rival of sorts to Ruger. Think a Knuckles/Shadow to Ruger's Sonic. Despite his appearance and origins, Des seems to not be fully convicted to following Madame Del's goals other than to free his parents.

Today for OC-Tober we have Cherry! A witch with explosive powers, any damage inflicted on her she converts into a volitile and explosive energy. In other works, a walking bomb that only gets stronger the more you fight her.

A minor fun fact, at one point Paradox and Cherry were originally swapped in terms of personalities. Cherry originally being a rather weird vagabond and Paradox the more femme fatale character, ultimately I swapped it because I found those personalities fit the other better

Today for OC-Tober we have Cherry! A witch with explosive powers, any damage inflicted on her she converts into a volitile and explosive energy. In other works, a walking bomb that only gets stronger the more you fight her.

A vagabond that traveled the country for some time, Tanya is a hard boiled woman, although its thanks to her powers shes forced to be a rambling woman. Her babushka was a witch who placed the curse of the Baba Yaga on her, a curse that hasn't fully revealed its true power.

All thats known about the curse is if she acrues enough damage, a new personaltiy forms, one that is filled with violent tendancies. It may very well be her babushka cursed her with the spirit of the yaga, or her mind and body may eventually become one itself...

Continuing on but some characters I've made end up sharing similar inspirations and kind of, dividing traits into different characters, such as Ben and Ruger sharing Edward Elric and actor Brendan Fraser in different roles

For today on OC-Tober its the titular Wolf of New Orleans, Ruger! A young cajun cursed into becoming a magical werewolf with a cartoonish guise.

For a long time in his life, Ruger was in a rather depressive state, and at the beginning of TWONO was trying to get his life together, until a rogue rougarou came and upheaved his life he was just getting sorted Now he bares the same curse, except, not nearly as scary looking

His Rougarou form is an oddity, but it is tied to the state of one's soul. Despite Ruger's own insecurities and pain, his soul burns bright and manifests as a rather goofy lookin' wolf you'd see in classic cartoons.

Today for OC-Tober stuff, we have our little gremlin cat, Paradox! A former cat burglar mutant catgirl with teleportation powers after being attacked by a guard bobcat and stumbling into a teleportation device. Thank God it wasn't a fly.

One day she was out trying to steal from Dr Styx, plans for a teleportation device. She fell into it after being attacked by a mutant bob cat Styx made, and was turned into a teleporting cat girl. For a time, she served as Horror Show's errand gal, before joining Ben's group

Realizing that I may not have enough days for characters this month so, gonna feature two more characters, then make a big old thread for characters at the end
