- REALLY LONG DESCRIPTION ALERT - (Sorry guys lmao!)

Well uh. Here's something i've been working on for a month or so now. It's another OC story called "Drift". There are only five characters but they're all main characters haha.

The basic plot is this. All life on earth has died out and the world is basically in ruins. Many years later, a small group of beings awake. Gaia, the youngest, is the main character and upon waking up alone in an empty wasteland decides to search for other people. Eventually she meets others who like her. Alba is the oldest of the group and tells them that they are physical manifestations of the land (think like the whole Hydreigon as the voice of life thing in GTI because it's very similar to that) and their purpose is to heal the earth so that life can begin again. All five of them have powers connected to specific elements that can heal different parts of the earth. So the gang just like. Travels the world and rebuilds everything.

Two tumblr posts actually inspired the basic set up for this. One was this: defendglobe.tumblr.com/post/15…

I really loved the idea of a "soft apocalypse". You know. Like a post apocalyptic setting but there's no chaos or urgency or panic like in Between Our Realities. Something more gentle is what I was going for. Even stuff like Gaia waking up alone in a destroyed world with no one around. It's a creepy situation but it's played out in a very peaceful way. (Fun fact: that's actually based off a recurring nightmare I had as a kid haha)

The second one (and the reason I avoided posting this for so long) is this: defendglobe.tumblr.com/post/15…

If you follow me on other social media you might know that I've had a bit of a fixation on prehistoric earth recently. It started out as procrastination because I didn't want to write my essay and then I ended up genuinely fascinated. The issue of course, is now I know all this stuff but have nothing to do with it. When I saw that post I got the idea of making an OC story with a lot of allusions to the stuff I'd been reading about. It's a really. Kinda dorky idea. Haha.

The story itself isn't science heavy at all so if you know literally nothing about prehistoric earth it'll still make perfect sense. It's more like. The stuff in the story parallels some of the things I read about. Like the characters names are all based off the names of ancient continents.

I'm also thinking I might actually like. Write the whole thing top to bottom since it's much shorter and simpler than my other stories. Who knows!

Name: Gaia
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
True Age: 335 million years
Approximate age in human form: 14
Powers: Can create new life from nothing as well as resurrect things that have died. For most of the story she does not believe that she has powers and thinks that the resurrection of life all around her is due to the combined efforts of the others but eventually realizes that wherever she goes, life emerges shortly afterwards.
Personality: Young and naive. Fairly shy and unsure of herself. Despite this, she is very friendly and has a great spirit for adventure. Very creative and tends to make up stories to herself often. Tends to be fairly self deprecating about feeling like the weak link in the team and is very easily discouraged when things go badly.
Relationships:
- Vendi is Gaia's older younger sister. Vendi is extremely protective of Gaia. Gaia idolizes Vendi's "don't give a fuck" attitude and wants to be just like Vendi when she grows up.
- Gaia is half Cole's age and he finds it hard to relate to her at times. Her youthful energy does help him try to relax more and his wisdom helps Gaia think more clearly.
- Nia's mom friend tendencies are ramped up to eleven with Gaia. Even when Vendi and Nia are not on good terms, Nia is always very involved in Gaia's life and treats her like a younger sister. Gaia thinks Nia is really fun and likes goofing off with her.
- Gaia has a special bond with Alba. Alba is very encouraging of Gaia, especially when it comes to her powers. Gaia sees her as a grandmother type. The two of them are very close, despite the age gap.
Name: Vendi
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
True Age: 650 million years
Approximate age in human form: 21
Powers: Controls the way the different landscapes are shaped (ex: can make areas into mountains or prairies or whatever) and the way landmasses are positioned on the surface of the earth.
Personality: Vendi is hotheaded and erratic. Hates being told what to do. Intensely emotional and prone to outbursts and getting into arguments with people. Extremely individualistic and kind of a punk. Finds it hard to acknowledge her own successes. She is very passionate and is kind of a closet romantic and a real softie under her prickly exterior.
Relationships:
-Vendi and Nia have an on again off again romantic relationship. Their personalities clash quite a bit but they really do care about each other a lot.
-Gaia is Vendi's younger sister, who she is extremely protective of. Gaia idolizes Vendi's "don't give a fuck" attitude and wants to be just like Vendi when she grows up.
- Alba is often seen as the leader of the group and tends to give orders, which Vendi is not a huge fan of but she also finds Alba intimidating. Even though Alba finds Vendi's contrarian nature irritating, she does respect the firey personality she has.
Name: Nia
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
True Age: 1300 million years
Approximate age in human form: 25
Powers: Controls the wind, can change the elements that make up the atmosphere. Sometimes manipulates these powers to allow her to fly so she can cover long distances faster.
Personality: Nia is the mom friend of the group. She's very involved in making sure everyone else is happy and safe. Very agreeable, upbeat, and friendly. Not the most self aware person who ever lived and can be a little careless at times. Can be kind of overbearing at times and can come off as being very nosy. An optimist at heart.
Relationships:
- Vendi and Nia have an on again off again romantic relationship. Their personalities clash quite a bit but they really do care about each other a lot.
- Nia is Cole's younger sister. They are very close. Nia looks to him for guidance about life stuff and Cole looks to her for guidance with social stuff.
- Nia's mom friend tendencies are ramped up to eleven with Gaia. Even when Vendi and Nia are not on good terms, Nia is always very involved in Gaia's life and treats her like a younger sister. Gaia thinks Nia is really fun and likes goofing off with her.
- Nia and Alba are the most motherly/nurturing of the group. The two of them are quite friendly and enjoy having a good laugh together every now and then.
Name: Cole
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay and Asexual
True Age: 1820 million years
Approximate age in human form: 28
Powers: Can create water out of nothing and can control the water he creates. He is also able to breathe underwater and to purify existing water so it is healthy again.
Personality: Extremely logical and intelligent. Somewhat of a know-it-all. Has a lot of pride and can be fairly stubborn, especially when other people are right and he's wrong. Most of the time he's very level headed and doesn't show a lot of emotion. Though he often comes off as detached and cold, he really does care about his friends. He's also very dependable and steady.
Relationships:
- Nia is his younger sister. They are very close. Nia looks to him for guidance about life stuff and Cole looks to her for guidance with social stuff.
- He tends to butt heads with Vendi since they both can be very stubborn. She thinks he's stuck up and he thinks she's too wild.
- Gaia is half his age and he finds it hard to relate to her at times. Her youthful energy does help him try to relax more.
- He has kind of an easy friendship with Alba. The two of them are the oldest in the group and both have a sense of maturity that the others don't quite have.
Name: Alba
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
True Age: 3600 million years
Approximate age in human form: 67
Powers: Can control fire and create fire from nothing. Because of this, she is in control of volcanic activity. Additionally, since she first awoke in the Earth’s core, she is unaffected by touching fire or lava. Her hair is also made of fire which doesn’t hurt her. It DOES hurt other people though, unless Alba touches them on the arm or something.
Personality: Wise and dignified. Very calm and a good mediator. The unofficial leader of the group. Very organized and responsible. Can be a little selfish at times and tends to be secretive about how much she really knows. Observant and alert with a great sense of discipline. She is everyone's grandma.
Relationships:
- Alba is often seen as the leader of the group and tends to give orders, which Vendi is not a huge fan of but she also finds Alba intimidating. Even though Alba finds Vendi's contrarian nature irritating, she does respect the firey personality she has.
