My OCs from my second universe

Posted by LIDLArts - December 30th, 2022

This is my second universe that is actually fully developed and thought out. I can do another OC dump after this, but their universe isn't really... Anything interesting. Just humans in a human universe.

In this universe, there are various schools that were founded to train the "gifted". All OCs I am about to mention go to the same school (despite their age differences, as there are different groups based on age), founded by Mrs. and Mr. Gibson and their son Hunter. This school focuses on using your powers for legal and useful purposes, rather than combat training like some others do.

Universe 2: Not-So-Super-hero Universe

Lydia Hall (24) - Super speed

Lydia Hall was adopted by a wealthy couple and was raised like their own along with her three siblings (two older sisters and one younger brother). Her superpowers have always been a part of her, but didn’t become apparent until during her early teens. Lydia was an extremely unmotivated student and eventually dropped out of high school. She was twenty-two years old when she received an invitation to come train her powers in the school run by the family Gibson, where she would learn more about her powers and how to put them to good use. Normally students are required to apply by themselves but considering the fact Lydia had the authorities after her, they took the opportunity to "get their hands on her" before the cops did. Hesitant at first, Lydia turned down the invitation a few times. When the Gibsons' son Hunter (who was also the one inviting her), promised that she was free to go home whenever she wanted, Lydia eventually agreed.

Aliyah Williams (23) - Visions

Aliyah Williams grew up in a town that was like close-knit community, together with her two parents and 4 siblings. She was forced to suppress her powers (future visions) for most of her life, since that’s what her father wanted. She was told that her gift was a curse and would only bring her misery. When her father passed away, she began experimenting with her abilities and fought her way out of poverty by stealing what she knew to be winning lottery tickets. Mrs. Gibson-- catching her in the act and being impressed by her abilities-- invited Aliyah to come study with them, lured in by the promise that they would provide a monthly income for her mother if they were ever in need again.

Olivia Reyes (17) - Mind Control

Olivia has lived in an orphanage for most of her life, in and out of foster homes. She has a long past of abusing her powers to get what she wants and to get rid of those she considers to be a threat to her. She was forcefully made to attend the Gibsons' school at the age of 16 by authorities (it was either that or jail time) after being a complete menace to society for years. She is not a bad person, but is extremely misguided and gullible and often associates herself with the wrong people.

Bella Rose Ayala (24) - Heat Manipulation

Bella grew up with her father and older sister and lived a pretty regular life up until high school, where her life was flipped upside down after her best friend took her own life due to severe bullying and abuse at home. Since teachers and even the police never took her situation seriously and thus indirectly contributing to the death of her best friend, Bella started developing a deep rooted hatred for authority and began taking this out on her father and sister too. After giving her sister 3rd degree burns on her arms and throat, her father kicked her out at the age of 18 and Bella was left to roam the streets by herself. That’s where she was found by Hunter Gibson, who then took her in.

Moha Nasri (23) - Illusion Manipulation

Moha, a mystery to most fellow students, is the youngest son to an immigrant family that originated from Morocco. He is selective mute and uses his so-called "creations" (hallucinations visible to everyone) to speak for him. The only people he feels comfortable speaking to using his own voice, are Bella and Aliyah. He used to attend a different school (one that focuses on combat) before getting expelled from there.

Evelyn Miller (14) - Telekinesis

Evelyn, just like Moha, used to attend a different school. After 3 years she was expelled for continuously "breaking school rules", while in reality she was being bullied and framed for actions that weren't truly hers. Not much else is known about her yet.

Naia Dakos (26) - Super strength & increased reaction speed

[I hate how the only art I have of her is ugly af but anyway]- Naia used to attend the same school as Moha did and was send to this school under the guise of being an exchange student, while in reality she was sent to spy on them. When meeting her now-boyfriend Andres and eventually falling in love with him, she cancels her mission and chooses to stay in this school instead.

Andres Diaz (28) - Intangibility (Phasing)

[I haven't thought of a story for him yet, but he is dating Naia lol]

June ??? (19)

[Only drawing I have of her is from an animation I made which I can't upload due to copyrighted music but it's on my YT channel] - June grew up in a small, cult-like village that was very closed off from the rest of the world and even had their own language. She was raised with the belief that she possessed magical powers and could tell the future through magic cards. She knew she was an ordinary girl, but fearing social rejection or any form of punishment, she played along and pretended to be reading the cards; thus keeping her people satisfied for as long as possible. She was considered to be the village’s “hope” and “gift”. This was until a terrible plague broke out which wiped half the population of her village, causing more and more people to turn to her and expect her to give them hope. For months she played along until someone saw through her act and snitched on her. She was labeled a fraud and was to be hanged publicly for her betrayal. She managed to escape her village- and respectively her death- by stabbing herself right before her execution and running away after her wounds being taken care of. She roamed the middle of nowhere for two days until finally reaching an inhabited area. Completely disoriented by the different lifestyle, she stepped onto the road and was nearly hit by a car until Bella happened to see the situation and quickly pulled her back. Due to the language barrier, June was unable to communicate and explain who she was and where she came from. Bella took her to her school where she was examined. No one could figure out where she came from, so she was kept there for the time being. Since she arrived in June, she was given the nickname June and even when she finally figured out a way to communicate with the rest, she still preferred to be called June.
