The votes won out and I'm making a post with my main/sorta main OCs! Let's just jump right into it.
Some settings for context:
Ancients: An empire split into magic users and technology users. The sides are somewhat in conflict but work together alright until Hyness messes stuff up. The whole concept is an AU because I got some stuff inaccurate and I haven't had brainpower to make an accurate setting.
Planet Lathope (made by me): A man-made planet terraformed from a small asteroid that was created when a monster threatened to destroy the stars. Shaped like a many-sided die with each facet being a different environment. Noah's Ark type situation where a few members of many species went to one place. Society is kinda wacked up, they do not yet understand that children are not equipped to go on adventures. You guys have permission to make OCs in this setting!
Planet Popstar: You probably know where this is.
Mirror World: Reflection of the normal universe that got slowly corrupted by Dark Mind.
Very vague AU: stuff's suuure different here. Tends to be a bit darker.
AU Ancients: Same magic/technology split but quite a bit tenser. They're pretty close to war.
AU Jambastion religion: Much more aggressive with their plans (will elaborate later).
Eienni's dimension: A dimension separate from all of the rest that people can technically travel to and from but most of the Eienni (explained later) don't.
Some main thingies
Allie (full name Alloro): Basically me. Started as a persona and kinda grew into her own character. Her story is under revamping at the moment. Lives in a cottage on Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
Black: A purikiko (species by @BlueAquaCat ) with an adventurous heart that's also big enough to accommodate mom friend love for every single living being. When she's an adult she has a family with bp's Demonhalo and also becomes a goddess. Lived in a Lathopian ocean facet as a kid, moved up to Allie's house, then finally moved into Demonhalo's palace. Pronouns are she/her.
Tangie: Black's little brother, younger by about 6-7 years. Very curious but doesn't have the drive to adventure like his sister. Lives in the ocean his whole life. Pronouns are he/him.
Ki: A Nekkato/Nekkono (Species by BlueAquaCat). A natural leader and charismatic enough to rally a lot of people. Maybe helped fight the AU Jamba religion, but that's subject to change when I get around to developing her more. Tangie's eventual love interest. Is from Mysteria (BlueAquaCat's planet) and travels between there and Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
Sunset: Black and Tangie's mom. The type of mom to play kickball with her kids' class. Was very adventurous in her younger days but got her tail cut off and had to stop. Lives in the ocean her whole life. Pronouns are she/her.
(Correction: Her tail is actually almost completely gone, this is an old artwork from before I decided that.)
Ebony: Black and Tangie's dad. Calm and introverted. Was the other half of Sunset's adventuring duo, bonded with her while helping her recover. Stressed trying to make ends meet for his family but tries his best. Lives in the ocean his whole life. Pronouns are he/him.
Void Star: The classic Kirby from Star Allies and a positive form of Void (side note: in my theories, Zero and 02 are forms of Void). He's a kiddo who happens to have massive guilt from his past forms murdering all happiness but we don't hold that against him. Talks like a very smart and experienced person but also mispronounces stuff like an 8-year-old. Friends with Kirby and co., especially likes Gooey. Basically brothers with @BrokenPaper's Sv. Lives on Popstar. Pronouns are he/him.
Sico (pronounced see-cho): A reformed Dark Matter. Was the leader of a cluster that stayed around when Zero was defeated, but got too stressed out and went over to Void Star's side. Lives on Popstar but travels a lot. Pronouns are any but mostly it/its.
Mirror counterparts of the some main thingies
Wilt (Full name Wilted, but also technically Mirror Alloro): Mirror counterpart of Allie. Incredibly edgy and a bit of a jerk when she's a teenager, but mellows out into a scammy shopkeeper who teaches children thievery but overall is pretty nice. Changed name to Wilt during her emo phase but usually goes by Loro when she's older. Very much wants to set herself apart from Allie. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
Mirror Black: Used to be nice but snapped when Dark Mind started corrupting the world and is now hyper-paranoid. Surrounds herself with "friends" to use as bodyguards. Has an obsession with keeping the worlds in balance, which leads to her staying with Mirror Demonhalo even though there is No Benefit To This. Doesn't become a goddess and eventually runs away once her bodyguard ring falls apart and softens to the idea of caring for people. Same homes as Black but Mirror versions, and after her group falls apart she runs away to a wilderness. Pronouns are she/her.
Mirror Tangie: Lonely and closed off. Won't admit it but is very hurt because of Mirror Black running away when he was young. He hoards money when he's older and ends up getting decently rich. Somewhat vain. Lives in the ocean his whole life. Pronouns are he/him.
(Also all variants of Tangie have an earring)
Mirror Ki: Kinda eccentric but very friendly person who was a close friend to Mirror Tangie when they were teenagers. They tried to date but it didn't work and they're very good acquaintances now. Is from Mirror Mysteria and travels between there and Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
A team that exists
(Mirror) Gen: Leader of a team of inventors and a very manipulative person. Dragged everyone into a raid on Wilt that went very badly and violently. Leads to Hex's death and starts to fall apart but probably gets better. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are he/him.
Dicho: Defends pretty much anything Gen does. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are he/him.
(No artwork)
Trin/Mirror Cookie: Very traumatized from the raid. Anxious and easily scared. Friends with Gen for a while but eventually manages to leave. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
Tetra: Is aggressive but cares about her friends. Not soft but the type to throw a water bottle at your face to get you to hydrate. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are she/they.
(No artwork)
Penta/(Mirror) Spruce: Older brother energy to Trin. Very quiet in general. Secretly kinda messed up from some past battles. Lives on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are he/him.
(No artwork)
Hex/(Mirror) Reed: Spiky and sulky but cared about her friends. Didn't believe Dark Mind really exists and blames any corruption on her own shortcomings. Fell off a cliff and drowned--either pushed by Gen or jumped, no one, even Gen, was ever able to sort it out--and came back as a ghost to haunt Gen. Lived on Mirror Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
(I only have a drawing of her as a ghost.)
Cookie: Just exclamation points incarnate. Befriends Trin despite Trin at first getting scared Cookie will replace her by making her look worse. Lives on Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
(This is an old artwork; these colors are slightly off and she has gold eyes now.)
People closely related to Lathope
Zenith: Cyborg who acts mysterious and secretive but is actually just a hyper and nice person with a goth fashion sense. Tam's girlfriend. Lives on Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
Tam: Cyborg Halcandran who acts airheaded to hide the fact that she has information that would make her vulnerable to some antagonists who want to destroy Lathope. Zenith's girlfriend. Lives on Lathope. Pronouns are she/her.
(Tam (left) and Zenith (right)).
Pats: Old Irish janitor man rabbit who gets dragged into adventure by Zenith and Tam and grumpily comes to love these stupid children. Lives on a space station orbiting Lathope. Pronouns are he/him.
Sel (design by @TawnArtist): Halcandran who helped create Lathope. Ancestor of Tam and of a villain that Tam is fighting. Lived on Halcandra and in space. Pronouns are she/her.
(Artwork also by Tawn).
Eienni
First I'll explain what an Eienni is. They're creatures that came about from a group of life forces using random objects as cores. They have flat metal sheets with a single eye as faces and four floating wings. Every Eienni has a core, either an object or something organic. If they die they usually reincarnate after a while (long long while, they live on a huge timescale). If an object core is shattered beyond repair, they die for much longer, then come back as one with an organic core. They sort of retain memories when reincarnated like the first type, but they become whole other beings with only vague impressions of memories if they die enough to get an organic core. There's more explanation on them in this post https://kirby.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000018456. And you're welcome to make your own Eienni!
Characters:
Praeco: Knew there was going to be a monster destroying the stars and went a bit insane under the stress. Was a mad prophet but managed to convince some people to take action. Lived in the Eienni's dimension but eventually landed in Cessalle (Cessalle belongs to ChaoticFangirl). Pronouns are he/they.
(This drawing is a little off but it's the only colored one I have)
Skijio: Seems kind but isn't good at genuinely listening. She was kind of a mother figure to Praeco but they drifted apart when she tried to stop him from warning the galaxy about the monster because she thinks the Eienni are above them. Lives in the Eienni's dimension. Pronouns are she/they.
(The colors are right but the wings have been changed. Also her core isn't pictured here but it should be a crystal).
Ancients
Haxetic: Leader of the technology users. Decent person but very tired and stressed. Sticks a little too close to tradition. Arm got broken a few times. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are he/him.
Kalecst: Haxetic's daughter and second-in-command. Loud and fun when she's hapoy, but a bit violent. Stressed over a lot and scared of eventually becoming a leader. Gave Galacta Knight his knight status. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are she/her.
Sakrose: Was Haxetic's wife and Kalecst's mother but died before the story starts. Was a librarian. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are she/her.
Onse: Second-in-command of the magic users. Very intelligent and a little conniving. Quietly pushed Hyness to go insane enough to be exiled so he could take over as leader, which he always thought he was better fit for. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are he/him.
Madrick: Main medic. Friendly and determined. A mother figure to Kalecst after Sakrose dies. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are she/her.
Gahm: Starts out as a bright-eyed kid (his personality is really inconsistent in the earlier chapters of my story :') ) and grows to be a decent leader in his friend group. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are he/him.
Edrei: Lawful good nervous wreck. Tries to keep everything functional and panics easily. Lived on Halcandra. Pronouns are he/him.
(No artwork but he looks similar to Gahm).
Zxephyr (NOT MINE, Bp's, just in my story): He was part of the technology users for a while but got sent away for being too dangerous because he's possessed and therefore occasionally flies into a murderous rage, which is unsurprisingly not very convenient. His species lives for millenia so he's also friends with Demonhalo and Black, and their friends. Lived on Halcandra and moves to Mosaic Moon (also Bp's). As far as I know, pronouns are he/him.
(No up-to-date artwork that I know of)
Ombra (NOT MINE, @Chaoticfangirl234's, just in my story): Chaotic good hecker who breaks rules for fun and a coping mechanism. A good friend and even better at giving Edrei heart attacks every five minutes. Ran away from the Ancients when everything started to fall apart. Found a time portal and ended up in the modern day. Lived on Halcandra and I'm not sure where she lives in the modern day. As far as I know, pronouns are she/her.
(Artwork by ChaoticFangirl)
Vague AU™
Everything familiar here would have AU before them but that'd get annoying to type so just keep in mind that they're different than the characters I've already listed and from any canon stuff. Also pronouns are all the same as their counterparts.
AU Ancients (only a few of whom are developed):
Kalecst: Less violent than the normal Kalecst. Falls in love with a princess who's on the magic side and has to keep it secret (can you tell I was reading Romeo and Juliet at the time). Lived on Halcandra.
Sakrose: Doesn't die!!! That's basically the only difference.
(No artwork)
Onse: More outwardly mutinous and snide. Supports the conflict between sides. Got very damaged during a conflict and is held together by magic. Lived on Halcandra.
[Currently unnamed princess]: Part of another empire that is planned to join with the magic users. Plans are s l i g h t l y complicated when she falls for Kalecst and has to work that out. Probably lived on Floralia or somewhere similar (my younger brother and I joke that she's actually from Skylands), then on Halcandra. Pronouns are she/her.
Madrick: Finds the conflict unnecessary and dangerous, so the medical center is a fully neutral place with no fights allowed. Lived on Halcandra.
(No artwork)
Ombra (I'm not really sure if this variant belongs to me or Chaotic tbh): Helps the princess get together with Kalecst because no matter what universe it is, Ombra is a nasty little crime gremlin. Lived on Halcandra, not sure if she went to the modern day.
(No artwork)
Gahm: Hesitant at first but helps Kalecst get together with the princess. Lived on Halcandra.
(No artwork)
Zxephyr (NOT MINE, still BP's): Broke under the stress of conflict and is kind of a complete wreck. Possessed and hated for it. Is closest with Kalecst and only trusts her fully. Gives up and dies after being exiled. Lived on Halcandra.
(Bp's artwork)
AU Jambastion religion:
Hyness: Angrier and overall less remorseful than the canon Hyness. Captured Void as Zero for the same reason as the KSA plot, but just a more direct route. The Mages also probably exist and I wanna base them off some cool concept art but they're not developed so I'm lumping them in.
(Outdated design but it's the only artwork I have).
Void Chaos/V: A very powerful form of Void born when there's too much energy not to be reincarnated, but not enough of any one type to be a specifically aligned form. It can take on a colorless version of any Void form and use limited versions of its powers. Void Chaos is very unstable and goes towards any source of magic, good or evil, because he wants to stop being so confused. Chaos also can barely speak, only able to say a few words in among the zalgo text gibberish, so he introduced himself as V because it was easier to say. The Jambastion priests keep him in the Chaos form to use its power. He eventually leads a jailbreak throughout all the Jambastions to finally defeat Hyness. Lives/is trapped in the Jambastion for a while, then leaves to vibe with that world's Kirby. Pronouns are he/him (and maybe it? But it depends on the canon Void's pronouns and he's only been referred to as he).
(Yes my best ref is a clay sculpture fight me).
Sv Chaos: (NOT MINE, Bp's, but important to the story): Split off from Zero because magic shenanigans and the priests immediately decided to dislike him and used him as a guinea pig for magic tests. He sang a lot and had a nice voice but people noticing him brought attention to how horrible the priests are to him. The priests' very measured response to this was fusing his mouth shut. He stays hidden for a while until Otexai and Void Chaos manage to find him and include him in their riot plans. Lived in the Jambastion and followed V. As far as I know, pronouns are he/him.
(Don't have access to the artwork at the moment).
Otexai: NESP brought to the Jambastion as a baby along with Destit. Very much a thinker and realizes that this is n o t a good environment and starts conspiring with Void Chaos and Sv Chaos. Comforted Sv when he was made mute by giving him some toys that he's pretty sure he's had from before coming to the Jambastion, and by singing to him since he can't anymore. Lived in the Jambastion for his childhood and followed V, but always trying to figure out where he was before the Jambastion. Pronouns are he/him.
Destit: Jammerjab species brought to the Jambastion as a baby along with Otexai. Aggressively complacent and doesn't like to question anything. Childhood friends with Otexai, but they drift apart because of their different worldviews. Eventually ends up fighting Otexai during the riot. Lives on the Jambastion and doesn't care about where he's from. Pronouns are he/him.
(Colors are unconfirmed).
This doesn't have a name but I love this story rn ok
So basically there's a monster that for currently undefined reasons is trying to sever the connections between worlds. The universe goes "no ♡" and chooses four people, all from different dimensions, to wield relics and save the world.
Durigan: Not very developed yet but has survivor's guilt from his backstory. Disguises himself as an odd Waddle Dee to stay ignoreable. Gets scared and confused when he learns he's a chosen one, but gains back some confidence over the course of the story, helped out by Parallel Black. Lives somewhere in the AU. Pronouns are he/him.
Parallel Black: A huge diva and incredibly self-absorbed at the beginning. She has her worldview challenged when Durigan is very much not enjoying the adventure, and eventually chills out and learns how to sympathy. Lives somewhere in Another Dimension. Pronouns are she/her.
Parallel Tangie (he’s not part of this story but this is the best place I can think to put him): Insecure and feels overshadowed by his sister. Lives somewhere in Another Dimension. Pronouns are he/him.
[Not named yet]: A Butterling (species by Chaotic) whose personality is GLORY and V A L O R, a pretty typical protagonist. Got really excited when they were told they were a chosen one. The de facto leader of the team. Lives somewhere in the normal world. Pronouns are any.
[Also not named]: A raccoon-bird thing that grew up on the streets and is very tough and angry all the time. Has to be convinced to help because they don't see the whole chosen one gig as their problem. Lives somewhere in the Mirror world. Pronouns are they/them.
Characters that aren't mine but are important to the stories
A side note though, I got lore stuff with Galacta Knight wrong so, like I said earlier, anything to do with him and the Ancients is another AU and honestly I'm just as confused as you are.
Also! Almost all of this is in a story I've written/am in the process of writing. If you guys want links to that I'll see if I can track them down, but be warned it's very long. Also the earlier parts are over a year old at this point and are therefore not my best work. So if you wanna read that, maybe avoid spoilers by skipping this section? If anyone asks I'll give non-spoiler summaries in the comments.
Galacta Knight: Originator of the Clash team format but lost his teammates battling Void. Lived with the Ancients for a while but turned on them when Hyness started to worship Void. Got sealed in the crystal (a variant of the spell used for the Jamba Heart, fun fact) but was accidentally kept awake without being able to move. Is basically insane by the time he makes it to the game events.
Hyness: Leader of the magic users, young for the rank. Believes Void will bring stability to the lowkey crumbling society. Insists on worshipping him, and becomes more destructive as the others become more adversarial. Used to be the same species as the Mages but did a ritual for eternal-ish life and messed up his form. Is eventually exiled and becomes the Hyness we know and despise.
(Used to look like this).
Zan Partizanne: Originally a girl named Anne who was running away from her destroyed village (the "lost everything" in her Soul Melter EX description). Was saved by Hyness and stuck by his side from then on. Chose a new name for herself after training with a spear.
Francisca: Originally a girl named Fran who got separated from a mountain climbing party and started freezing to death. Was rescued by Hyness and joined him. Chose the name Francisca after training with an axe.
Flamberge: Originally a girl named Berge who didn't have a home and bounced between towns. She and some friends were burning down an abandoned building when they got trapped. Berge was saved by Hyness but her friends weren't able to be. Joined Hyness and became very protective of Francisca. Chose the name Flamberge for herself after training with a sword.
Morpho/Morpho Knight: Grim reaper, also sort of a balance-keeper. Confused by both Galacta Knight and Hyness because they're outside the timeline. Teams up with Galacta Knight to try to stop Hyness from summoning Void by helping Kirby's friends prepare and testing their strength. Galacta Knight cooperates for a bit but goes off on his own again in Super Kirby Clash. I'm pretty sure this isn't canon but I refer to the butterfly as it/its and Morpho Knight as he/it.
Parallel Nightmare: Tries to get Galacta Knight to fight Team Kirby (you'll see how this goes when I get around to writing again).
Dark Mind: Yeah so I accidentally made this guy freaking terrifying, he corrupted the whole Mirror universe by attacking the mirror itself. His corruption was very slow and hard to notice for a while.
Void Star: Kinda half belongs here but I already gave him a bio.
Miscellaneous (the ones on the bullet points have spoilers)
Helia/Lord: Hammer lord of Galacta's old team. Very much a "hit thing first ask questions later" person. Lived on Popstar. Pronouns are he/him. (No artwork at the moment but I have doodles of all of them in an old sketchbook I'll get soon).
Astra/Doctor: Doctor Healmore of Galacta's old team. A nerd and the general braincell of the team. Tries and fails to keep Lord and Hero (Galacta) out of trouble. Lived on Popstar. Pronouns are he/him.
Luna/Mage: Beam Mage of Galacta's old team. Tricky and prefers to have a solid plan, but can think on her feet. Tries and succeeds to keep Lord and Hero out of trouble. Lived on Popstar. Pronouns are she/her.
Jax: Half joke OC, a human from Earthfall. Basically Florida man incarnate. Has a pet Staghorn (species by TawnArtist) named Moja who’s basically one of those pets that’s too dumb to not love. Lives on Earthfall but is a travelling mechanic. Pronouns are he/him.
(No artwork)
Conclusion™
W E L L, that was a longer haul than I expected. I hope you enjoyed reading all that! I'm honestly shocked at how many of these I had artwork for.
Thank you all for voting that you wanted to see this! I really enjoy sharing my stuff and I’m glad you wanted it.
And if any users read this that knew me from early days, you might notice a few differences. Those are hopefully intentional and not typos.
Thank you all!
