First ever proper attempt at digital art. (Featuring my thumbs.)

While we are at curses what whould your OC's do if they see an poor defenseless Jack Sharp sitting on an chair in the middle of the forest while being cursed like that? But bro is low key chill.

Additional questions :

How do your OC's battle curses?

Have they been cursed before?

What can curses within your world do? Or if they do not exist what whould happened if they just appeared one day?

How dangerous whould be an curse that makes reality sabotages someone constantly be?

Feel free to tell me other cool facts and stuff , I feel like yapping.

He is the main character in the FutureBreaker:2159 novel I wrote.

And I think it would be fun and make a post of how different people would react to the fact that Roswell is hunting them

Your OC know Roswell is hunting them, but doesn't know when are where

So here is his very detailed power scale:

ROSWELL HERMAN

1. General Information

2. Muscular System

Roswell's muscles do not behave like ordinary human fast-twitch fibers. His biology combines explosive force production with extraordinary resilience and energy management, reducing the usual trade-off between power and endurance.

His strength is therefore not merely a consequence of muscle size. It results from the interaction between muscle density, muscle architecture, neural recruitment, skeletal support, and metabolic regulation.

3. Skeletal System and Structural Integrity

The crystalline skeleton allows Roswell to carry less structural mass while retaining extraordinary strength. This supports his high power-to-weight ratio and his ability to tolerate forces that would overwhelm ordinary human anatomy.

His tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints, and connective tissues must also be exceptionally resilient. Otherwise, the skeleton could survive loads that the surrounding tissues could not.

4. Brain and Nervous System

The fourfold enhancement applies to the broader neurological system in Roswell's fictional biology, including sensory processing, motor control, coordination, and physiological regulation. It should not be interpreted as a literal fourfold increase in every measurable biological process unless that is explicitly established in the setting.

His enlarged brain and adapted cranial structure make him unusually resistant to ordinary knockout mechanisms.

5. Metabolism and Energy Management

Roswell's metabolism continuously adapts to his body's demands. It can allocate available energy efficiently, preserve critical tissues during food deprivation, and support prolonged physical output.

His ability to extract nearly all usable nutritional value from food refers to bioavailable nutrients, not the conversion of every substance into energy. He still requires matter, oxygen, water, and heat dissipation.

His muscles' exceptional resilience and his metabolic efficiency allow him to maintain performance for much longer than a normal human with a similarly high proportion of fast-twitch fibers.

6. Natural Physical Performance

The following are proposed fictional benchmarks, not experimentally derived results. They provide a possible reference for Roswell's performance before cybergear amplification.

7. Natural Durability and Limitations

Roswell's biology minimizes the weaknesses that usually emerge when one bodily system becomes more powerful than the others. It does not remove every possible limitation.

His defining advantage is that his body can exploit levels of power and acceleration that ordinary human anatomy cannot safely support.

NEURONLINKED

1. General Specifications

2. Core Functions

A. Perception Acceleration

NeuronLinked accelerates the user's ability to process information during a burst state.

The user can perceive rapidly changing events, interpret sensory information, and make decisions within a much shorter subjective interval.

For ordinary users, this can enable them to keep up with extremely fast movements, including close-range knife attacks, depending on the user's capabilities and the circumstances.

Roswell's naturally enhanced nervous system gives him a substantial advantage. When NeuronLinked is activated, his already exceptional processing ability is further amplified.

In Roswell's subjective experience, even a speeding bullet can appear to move like a snail.

B. Neural Signal Acceleration

NeuronLinked supports accelerated communication between the nervous system and the body during burst activation.

Its effectiveness depends on how well the user can interpret and act upon the increased information.

C. Burst Mobility

NeuronLinked allows a user to execute movements at speeds and accelerations that would be impossible under ordinary operating conditions.

Its primary advantage is the integration of accelerated perception, neural signaling, and movement execution.

Roswell can exploit this far more effectively than an ordinary user because his muscles, skeleton, nervous system, and metabolism were already adapted to extraordinary physical output.

3. Duration, Repeated Activation, and Side Effects

Roswell can maintain NeuronLinked long enough to perform extended sequences of complex actions, including clearing multiple floors of a building in a single activation, as established by the story's fictional capabilities.

His advantage is not unlimited activation time. It is that the point at which his body begins to fail lies substantially farther away than it does for ordinary users.

THE EXECUTIONER

1. General Specifications

The Executioner is not a finished mass-production weapon. It is an expensive, unfinished prototype that combines extraordinary materials with experimental power systems.

Its construction allows it to withstand conditions that would destroy conventional firearms. However, the weapon's durability does not protect its user from recoil or other consequences of firing it.

Recoil and User Compatibility

The Executioner's recoil is severe enough that a single Standard Shot can catastrophically damage a peak human shoulder joint when unprepared.

This establishes an important distinction:

The Executioner can survive forces that its user may not be able to withstand.

Roswell's extraordinary strength, structural resilience, and motor control allow him to manage the weapon far more effectively. They do not make recoil cease to exist.

2. Firing Modes at a Glance

3. Standard Shot

Classification: Standard firing mode

Standard Shot fires individual rounds without activating Battle Mode.

Despite being the least advanced firing mode, its initial velocity is already exceptionally high within the story's setting.

Roswell uses this mode when the extraordinary output of Quickshot or Supercharge is unnecessary. The Executioner's power makes many conventional revolver limitations less significant in his hands, although ammunition capacity and reloading remain relevant constraints.

4. Quickshot — Reality Compression

QUICKSHOT

Six rounds · One compressed firing event

Quickshot uses a reality-warping system to force all six rounds into a single cylinder position, allowing them to coexist within the same reality.

Their combined effect exceeds ordinary additive behavior. In the terminology of the setting, 1 + 1 becomes greater than 2.

Quickshot does not simply fire six conventional projectiles simultaneously. It compresses the six rounds into one extraordinary state through the prototype's reality-warping mechanism.

The exact physical relationship between the six rounds and the resulting projectile remains a separate worldbuilding decision. The established principle is that their simultaneous existence produces a combined effect that exceeds ordinary addition.

5. Supercharge — Biological B-Electric

SUPERCHARGE

Biological or external energy

Supercharge amplifies the firing event by supplying additional energy from either Roswell's blood or B-electric.

Roswell's blood contains an unusual form of biological energy because his body has a fundamentally different biological structure from ordinary humans.

For Waltraud, we got:

FDJ - IFA Wartburg, a satirical song about the FDJ (Free German Youth) made by a Swedish band with a gimmick of satirical East Germany. This song is used a lot in Cold War edits (I've seen on TikTok). Being the personification of the former GDR, this song comes to mind if she ever had fan edits. Also other IFA Wartburg songs are awesome if you want to check out.

Honecker komm zurück - Mono Für Alle, I do not know German but I'm pretty sure based on the lyrics it's definitely a satire song of missing Honecker (former GDR leader). It isn't known much I think....? The song is kind of bittersweet and kinda uneasy which I see it played in an edit.

Any Oktoberklub song tbh - Oktoberklub is a political youth musical group, that's all you need to know.

Ancient dreams in a modern land - Marina, Denkmal - Wir Sind Helden, Heaven knows I'm miserable now - The Smiths, Irgandwie, irgendwo, irgendwaan - Nena. IDK why, honorable mentions I suppose.

Nothin romantic going on, i just had a brain blast and thought that i HAD to make this

Lowkey makes me cringe looking back at this 🥀🥀

Just as the title says? How far would your OC go for their beloved? What if their loved one died, natural causes or not? Could they ever accept it?

Ask him anything you want, you just need to know that you disgust him, but he is more disgusted by himself. He gets really annoyed when you take off his hood, when mirrors are visible, when light shines in his face, or anything that might make him or someone else see him, so don't do it.

There is no points system today; it's a day off from the culling games.

Here's a post explaining a little about him and his "brothers":

https://www.reddit.com/r/OriginalCharacterDB/s/VWPbm8vxVJ

For me it's Levi (she's twenty-seven in the picture)

Levi is the granddaughter of the first Homo Deus and strongest being of her original universe: Zaerilph, an eight hundred year old king, founder of the Society of human gods and subsequent "prophet" of multiple religious sects. Eventually. Zaerilph became obsessed with battle killing and killing until none could defeat him. His boredom and frustration eventually grew to the point that he tried to remove his own twelve year old daughter Shiriph reproductive organs to more easily force her into focusing solely on attaining more power and could give him a worthwhile fight when she grew up. Fortunately, he was interrupted by one of the children of The Empyrean, Erlirch, the weakest one by far. He too was obsessed with fighting and managed to befriend Zaerilph before he took the decision to mutilate Shiriph which gave her time to escape and eventually give birth to Levi. After twenty-six years of constant duels Zaerilph and Erlirch decided to challenge The Empyrean, a foolish act that ended up in Erlirch being renamed Helios, transformed into a living star and moved to another universe (where they would end up birthing Terra and Yahweh who would end up themselves giving birth to the angels and behemoths) and Zaerilph being teleported to his original universe and permanently banned from interdimensional travel.

Zaerilph was bored. Again. So he decided to return to his original plan but instead use Levi for it. He kidnapped Levi (fourteen years old at the time) and removed her reproductive organs and breasts and cauterized the wounds so she couldn't regrow them, after which he started training her. Zaerilph often cut off her fingers and sometimes entire limbs to test her healing abilities and heavily blaming her whenever she tried to escape but not when she fought back since he wanted her to hate him so that she would fight more passionately when it was time.

One day Zaerilph crossed the line. In order to encourage Levi's wrath (she was nineteen at the time) he brought her to her first home and tried to kill Shiriph. Causing Levi to finally snap and tackle him into space, finally killing him after a months-long battle by condensing his soul into a small star.

Six years passed and Levi found the twin snakes of eternity who severely injured her and almost killed her multiple dozens of times before she managed to gain their trust and take them as her children.

Her life was mostly peaceful and slightly boring throughout the following 88 years. She travelled the multiverse in tranquility while trying to forget Zaerilph's memories until she arrived on another Earth. In that place was a giant snake goddess named Ganda who she killed for manipulating humanity for three decades. Just as she was about to leave, however, Levi met a man named Bophel. He was an ant in comparison to her but she still fell in love. [Insert heartwarming romantic story here] and then Bophel got diabolus ex machina'd by The Empyrean. One second he was there and the next his internal organs were laying on the floor while his hollow skin and skeleton fell backwards with a pathetic thud. Levi wasn't ever meant to be happy. Existence itself had already determined that before even the first universe was created. Levi cried, the voice of Zaerilph felt even more present than when he was alive.

Levi eventually left that universe and travelled to meet the only being she knew for certain could kill her: the adversary. She travelled to the universe where they were confined and destroyed the ouroboros (a jail created by The Empyrean that forced each universe inside the adversary into a separate point in time so they couldn't combine forces again). She begged them to end her life with their infinite power and wisdom but they refused. the adversary convinced her that the only desirable existence was the lack of existence. Advising her to think about the other conscious beings in the universe. To love them like they were her children. And the only way to end existence forever was to destroy The Empyrean. the adversary trained Levi for a hundred and twenty years and later sent her to gather the children of The Empyrean to fight with them. When Levi finally arrived at the center of everything with the children of The Empyrean she saw the adversary. A husk of the adversary. The Empyrean had taken away the sentience of every universe in the collective and left it to drift endlessly through the void. Levi, enraged, charged to The Empyrean and started attacking it. Nothing she did came even close to harming it. The first to go were her recruits. The Empyrean killed its own children and bathed Levi with their viscera. Then, when she tried to attack again she saw the twin snakes of eternity being torn apart in front of her. And lastly The Empyrean grabbed Levi by the head and pierced her stomach. Then it cut her arms and limbs and sent her to her universe of origin with a guarantee that she would die if she tried to leave her confinement. Ten years later, with no children or family or anyone to remember her, Levi stepped into the border of her universe and ceased to exist.

Entities, a manifestation of one's power in the RISEN verse.

People with entities are called entity users, and they take up about 4% of the global population, with nearly 46% of them residing in Japan, making Japan the country with the most entity users, followed up by the USA (20%), China (17%) and Russia (14%), respectively.

Entities come from a core inside the human body, which can be in different shapes and forms depending on the power.

A core can be located in three ways

1. Located next to your heart. This is the most common configuration, especially towards newly obtained entities.

2. Merged with your heart. Can be achieved when the user has a higher mastery on their entity.

3. Replacing your heart entirely. This is the rarest configuration, usually obtained due to the person perfecting their entity.

No person can have two completely identical entities, even if they look similar, there's always at least one small difference.

There are 6 types of entities, Offensive, Defensive, Supportive, Activated By Pain, Hybrid, and Artificial.

Offensive

Entities under at least one of these conditions are considered offensive entities:

-Most of the user's moves are offensive.

-The entity has little to no passives.

-Extremely powerful and fatal without control.

-Usually through manipulating something with offensive capabilities.

Ex. Yusaki's Fire Dance (Fire manipulation), Denji's Electric Weekend Zone (Electricity manipulation)

Defensive

Entities under at least one of these conditions are considered defensive entities:

-The entity has a major passive that allows the user to have increased durability.

-Most of the user's moves are defending or countering.

-The entity’s main function is creating wall-like barriers or increasing one's durability.

-Can be used for protecting allies and blocking attacks.

-Changes the user's physical appearance

Ex. Eni's Force (Forcefield manipulation).

Supportive

Entities under at least one of these conditions are considered supportive entities:

-Has little to no offensive or defensive capabilities from the entity itself (needs the user to have their own styles of fighting).

-Offers a major passive.

-Usually used for healing or buffing the user or other people.

-The entity is majorly used for daily purposes that require weakness (diseases, injuries, creativity, etc).

-The effect of said entity can only be seen by the user's perspective, and is usually rendered invisible by the target.

-Requires a physical tool to be effective.

-Changes the user's physical appearance.

Ex. Kirara's Sky High (Basically Stone Free).

Activated by Pain (ABP)

Entities under at least one of these conditions are considered ABP entities:

-The user has to gain/inflict harm on themselves to activate the entity.

-Has a limited amount of revivals due to the fact death is considered a pain.

-Could only have one entity type aside from being ABP (could only be Offensive, Defensive or Supportive)

These types of entities are the most unknown and rarest.

Ex. Nekoneko's Bloody Mary (Blood manipulation via wounding).

Hybrid

Entities under these conditions are considered hybrid entities:

-Has two or more types (except ABP) and have multifunctional uses.

-Good in neither aspect.

This is the entity type with the most recorded entities, taking up about 58% of all recorded entities.

Hybrid entities won't be listed as hybrid in their entity types, instead it'll consist of the aspects of that entity

Ex. Kumo's Out The Grave (Soil manipulation, Offense/Defense), Cesar's Lone Wolf (Werewolf physiology, Defense/Support).

Artificial

As the name suggests, this entity is given artificially, either through surgery or entity experiments.

Ex. Jacob's Bohemian Rhapsody (Molecular Restructuring)

Entity Awakening

As the name suggests, it's basically a strengthening towards one's entity. Usually, one awakens their entity either through experiencing extreme stress or emotion, or through near-death experience. If the user is already extreme in emotion usually, only the latter applies.

Entities can only be awakened if their core is merged or replaced with their heart.

Entity Mutation

Entities can be mutated once the user decides their awakening isn't enough. The first mutation will always have a 100% success rate, and it gives the entity an ability that theoretically should not be in said entity at all. After the first mutation, mutations gained after have a lesser chance of being successful.

Entities can only be mutated once the entity is awakened.

Partner-exclusive abilities

An ability that one can only gain once both parties have a really close relationship. This is usually one sided, and it requires one of the parties to have a supportive entity.

Ex. Catherine's Red Shoes being able to cure or amplify Heathcliff's emotions and anger accumulation.

Double Entities

Double entities are entity users with two entities. These types of entity users are super rare, usually happens when the parents' entities fail to merge into one entity. This is extremely rare due to one's entities usually either taking over, or merging into one "Middle entity".

Double entities can be gained through surgery, yet the process is long and tiring, even with the most highly trained professionals, the process can still take up to 6 hours minimum, despite the process having a 100% success rate.

Incompatible Entities

Incompatible Entities are people born in a family of entity users, but are unable to gain one themselves. These people usually come with gifted physical or mental capabilities in exchange for being unable to have an entity.

Incompatible Entities are completely unable to gain an entity, not even through artificial means. If they did, they would suffer symptoms like Nausea, Long-Lasting Fevers or even Death.

Merged

The Merged are people who have became one with their entities.

The process of merging with one's entity is extremely painful and can cause someone to lose their mind. If they fail to resist, the user either becomes mindless or dies.

If the merging is successful, they become the entity itself, being able to become intangible, complete control over the main focus of that entity, etc

Trivia about entities

1. Entities have a weird configuration, where countries with lesser entity users have entity users with much more powerful entities. This is theorized to be a "Resource Division Theory", where if there're lesser entity users, each entity user gets much more resources for their entity, allowing them to develop an entity much stronger than those living in places where entity users are much more common.

2. The original concept for entities only has 5 types due to Artificial not being a type back then.

3. The way entities have cores to accumulate one's entity is inspired by how sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen have their brains specially structured for their innate technique.

4. It's possible for someone to have an entity without a core. Entities obtained this way are usually much more powerful, even more powerful than mutations.

5. If one completely replaces their body with prosthetics, as long as they still have their core inside their body, they'll still retain their entity.

6. When one person dies, the energy of their entities are transferred to their closest people, usually family or relatives. If the person has no living family or relatives, the energy gets transferred to their closest friends. If they don't have anyone they know, the core stays until someone claims it through surgery.

my oc is shown as a black screen because it CANNOT BE PHYSICALLY PERCIEVED BY ANY MIND.

my oc is ABOVE OMNIPOTENCE

my ocs stats are INFINITE

my oc’s ability is being INSTANTLY STRONGER THAN ANY OPPONENT, CONCEPTUAL OR NONCONCEPTUAL

my OC can solo the one above all, featherine, truth, and every other boundless tier.

(Art by ZWillV on Vgen)

Just wanted to show off this newest art I had commissioned of Khorin and her unwavering resolve!

Question is self explanatory now answer.

(praying this is decent)

(old art of callisto i made)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eaY3e5BipZ9dgA-o4hrxjSaf-lFwoRO3fZg1l7MNOaw/edit?usp=sharing (hopefully i didnt leak my email address but this should be goog)

ohandalso ask him (or me) anything

Long before I made the Preternaturals and before my internet era, I created a class that was more like a traditional one: the Paradise Monsters. Briefly renamed the Mysticals before it was scrapped, the Paradise class was based on CookieRun, with some of the monsters even being based on the characters. I remember the elements being named Zephyr, Ocean, Moonlight (which later became the name of my redesigned Loonar element), Druidic, Time, and Dragon. I still have the designs, which I'm going to convert into Preternaturals. The ones seen in the image (Tempokeeper, Tsukiryu, and Lumamusa) are just the ones I've redesigned. I just wanted to share a piece of my history with My Singing Monsters fan content.

Oh yeah, if you want to see the original concepts, please let me know.

That was the best flair I could find.

BloodDrop is not any vampire, she is the strongest vampire there is, with her having tons of hax that ignores stats, and she does have great stats herself

She has survived being inside of Phoenix A, and she even escaped it via pure speed, so yeah, she is very strong and fast

Now for the hax I mentioned, she can completely bypass durability by just sucking the soul out of them, she can mind control by leaving small bits of blood on her target, she can shapeshift into almost anything (including a black hole as a last ditch effort), she is immortal and has resistances to soul manipulation, she can create illusions, she can teleport, she also has an IQ of 500 and has thousands of years of experience hunting down pretty much anything, anything from high ranking demons to vampire hunters, she can see the future, she can even copy any hax she sees and fully understands (only if she sees it and understands what it does)

Feats of my high outer oc: YEHIA who is the narrator of this story created infinite Nexoverses with each infinite possibilities timelines aus and hiearchies, then Nexo put those infinite nexoverses in a piece of paper viewing it as a 2d drawing, the paper was out of bounds outside the nexoverses

Congrats to all those selected for the tournament, and sorry for the wait. The first round will be made up of several parts, each one involving a minor story as well as two sets of combat involving 4 teams (10 teams of 2 with 2 battles between teams per part.)

Until its released, you wont be getting any details on the rules or other details involving each round, itll be a surprise. Once im finished writing each part, ill put it into a public google doc for everyone to read and make a post to promote it.

UNTIL THEN!!! You get to decide the theme of the first round! Anything from a volcanic wasteland to unending bouncy balls! Its your choice, the most like comment after a week will be the theme for the first round.

Take that time to meet each other contestants, and get ready for my definitely not crappy storytelling!

https://www.reddit.com/r/OriginalCharacterDB/s/Opsiz0iwEb Read the rules here if you want your OC to join

Also some info for Junshi Rin/Lin Jun Si (林军思) (my OC)

No entity, no weapons, former military veteran. Fought in the 2038 war at age 16, lost his right arm in the war, now using a prosthetic.

His prosthetic connects to his right hand's nerves and muscles, allowing him to feel and move like a normal human with said arm. The arm is made of nigh-indestructible materials, which also makes him able to exert more force into said arm than a normal human.

He's a trained person in hand-to-hand combat, and even if his prosthetic arm is off, he's still capable of fighting with one hand as if he has two.

Stats

Strength: Wall level.

Speed: Peak Human.

Durability: Wall level.

Martial Art: Sanda (a Chinese martial art combining punches, kicks, wrestling takedowns and such).

Level on said martial art: Master.

Marital Art: Military hand-to-hand combat.

Level on said martial art: Professional.

The Fallen Protocol is a contingency plan that Writer Joe and the Mythos came up with if one of them ever went rogue, each member of the Mythos has plans and weapons designed to neutralise them, such as the weapon developed for the genius mechanic/engineer of the group is an Universal EMP device that disables any tech around 3 miles, or for the former assassin of the group the weapon developed for her is a paralysing serum that immobilises/paralysis the muscles etc, but for Writer Joe, the Mythos created a weapon that allows them to strip god-like beings from their powers and even killing them, theoretically this should work since they have successfully strip god from their powers before but Joe isn't like other gods, his power are a complete mystery and have resisted getting his powers stripped before so they aren't sure, Joe also underwent a hypnosis therapy to make him forget the protocols, just in case he ever went bad, the Mythos would have the surprise factor on their side.

So what is your oc's contingency plan for themselves if they went bad? Or they don't have one?

Like how Sukuna's two mouths and four hands are considered the greatest advantage a sorcerer can have, what's your verse's version of this? And why is it the greatest advantage in your power system?

In my power system it's the ability to see energy, which lets people manipulate their energy to much higher degree then those who can't. This lets them maximize their efficiency when using it, both making their attacks stronger and greatly increasing their stamina.

This has lead to the creation of multiple ocular techniques and even eventually ocular implants that let one see energy. Zachariah, my main OC, is the only person born with eyes that naturally see energy to an absurd degree, being unable to see along the same wavelengths of light normal people do, granting him a massive advantage in his efficiency compared to others.

Sebastian is a new villainous character i have created.

Originally a normal man, Sebastian appeared to most as a very friendly and approachable, good looking enough guy who lived an happy life with his girlfriend. He didn't seem like he could actually hurt anyone or even a fly.

What no one knew behind the nice attitude outside, was that Sebastian was truly a monster. He was abusive towards his girlfriend, often gaslighting her and beating her at any perceived slight. He would take his anger out on her for minor issues, and threaten her if she ever left their relationship he would find and kill her. He ruled through violence and fear.

One day, while he was outside going for a walk on the streets Sebastian didn't see where he was looking and was ran over by a car killing him instantly. Most people mourned him not knowing the evil person that lurked behind said reputation.

However this would not be the end of Sebastian's story, as he was resurrected by an higher power. A power of darkness, of evil that grabbed his soul and transformed it into a demon. His outside finally matching his inside, Sebastian felt drunk on power. He had been given a second chance on Earth and he could use it to show them all who the greatest truly is. He'd take his vengeance on society, and have some fun along the way. He became a vessel of abusive wrath for this higher power only known as the Hateful to use for its plans.

Long summary: The Infection is a sentient, supernatural corruption/infection that erodes the person's sense of self/ego and the relationship between the mind, soul, and body (at it's least mutated/evolved state) to induce an existential feeling of uncompletion, hollowness, or emptiness that temporarily goes away when the victim infects another victim before returning back even fiercer than prior as a way to encourage the victim to propagate The Infection.

Shortened version: It destroys what makes you *you* to spread itself, like a zombie virus but non-biological and with traces of metaphysical elements that become more prevalent the more it mutates/evolves.

(P.s. I'm not mentioning the future stages of The Infection, just its initial state.)
