Design notes for Farren, an OC from the story I’m currently writing! He’s always been one of my favorites to write cause he’s such a himbo, but his design always gave me trouble, so I sat down and threw this together.
It’s kinda random, but I hope y’all think it’s interesting nonetheless! I might come back and put down my inspiration/reasoning behind all the elements at some point lol
Page full of OC sketches from 12 something am last night!
I really like some of these and really hate others, but overall I think it’s pretty decent
Here are some close ups!

STRIKE #6
*The team stealthy follow the van from the roof tops.*
TELEPORTER: What about me? How can I help?
THE ACTOR: You’ve helped a lot already, we don’t want to put you in harms way so you should stay here.
TELEPORTER: But what if the bad guys come back for me?
THE ACTOR: They shouldn’t find you here if you stay put.
CREAMPUFF: Here.
*CREAMPUFF tosses a small circular object to TELEPORTER that they catch but almost drop.*
CREAMPUFF: In case anyone does come for you, use that.
TELEPORTER: What is it…?
CREAMPUFF: It will help.
*The team continue to follow the van while TELEPORTER stays behind in the alley way.*
THE ACTOR: So what was that thing that you gave Keegan?
CREAMPUFF: Oh, I don’t know.
It fell out of Obsidian’s pocket when we entered the Tipsy Possum.
THE ACTOR: You just gave him an unidentified item that you don’t even know the use of as a self defense weapon!!
CREAMPUFF: Relax, I’m sure it won’t hurt him. At least he isn’t following us now right, I was just getting rid of a distraction.
THE ACTOR: Elizabeth. I know your new at this whole thing but we do not do that. Our objective is to get citizens out of danger not in harms way, that thing could kill him.
CREAMPUFF: I’m sure he’ll be fine.
THE ACTOR: We will be discussing this later.
Gods I’m starting to sound like Guy.
BLURRY FACE: Stop whispering their going to hear us.
THE ACTOR: Sorry.
*The team see the van park at a location of an abandoned art museum and the HOODED FIGURE drag OBSIDIAN out of the van and into the building.*
THE ACTOR: Guess this is our stop.
SPECTRE: What’s the plan?
IN THE MUSEUM
*The HOODED FIGURE drags OBSIDIAN out of the van and into the building, once inside the HOODED FIGURE forces a collar around OBSIDIAN’s throat.*
OBSIDIAN: The hell is this?
*The HOODED FIGURE answers OBSIDIAN by pressing a button on a remote that sends electric shocks to the collar around OBSIDIAN’s throat.*
OBSIDIAN: GAAAA AAHHHH!!!!
HOODED FIGURE: Stay put.
*The HOODED FIGURE gestures to the two henchwomen to keep an eye on OBSIDIAN as he walks out of the room.*
OBSIDIAN: *Nonchalantly* Hello ladies…
MEANWHILE
*The team make their way through the vents of the museum while SPECTRE stays outside on the roof with their tech.*
CREAMPUFF: *Cramped and sarcastically* Nice plan.
THE ACTOR: Oh don’t start complaining, Creampuff.
You signed up for this.
BLURRY FACE: I don’t see anything wrong with the plan.
I find it…
…Cozy.
SPECTRE: *Over the radio* Hey uh…
Your getting close to a bunch of heat signatures so be careful, okay guys?
THE ACTOR: Will do, thank you Spectre.
OBSIDIAN: *On the other side of the wall* Gotta say…
THE ACTOR: Obsidian!
NOT IN THE VENTS
OBSIDIAN: This is kind of a crappy kidnapping.
I mean, no restrictions, the dude who took me straight up left the room and I’m betting those doors aren’t even locked.
Am I right?
*OBSIDIAN points to the main doors of the museum the slowly stands up and walks toward the doors before one of the henchwomen presses a button on another remote and zaps them.*
OBSIDIAN: GAAA!!
Geez lady you got one of those things too?!
SOFI: The name is Sofi, and yes I do.
OBSIDIAN: Cool Sofi, great.
And who are you?
KAITLYN: Kaitlyn.
OBSIDIAN: Cool, great.
THE ACTOR: *From the vents* Psst-
*OBSIDIAN notices THE ACTOR in the vents and goes over to the vent over hidden from view of SOFI and KAITLYN.*
OBSIDIAN: *Whispering* What are you doing here?
THE ACTOR: *Whispering* What does it look like I’m doing? I’m doing my job and I’m about to save your ass.
OBSIDIAN: *Whispering* What about the Guy mission.
THE ACTOR: *Whispering* Can’t do it without you.
*OBSIDIAN tries to hide a soft smile and blush before being zapped again.*
OBSIDIAN: GAAA!!
*The HOODED FIGURE comes back into the room with another hooded figure wearing a more elegant purple cloak.*
HOODED FIGURE: Their rescuers are here, master.
What is your plan?
THE GREATER BEING: Go, my love.
I will handel this.
*THE ACTOR, CREAMPUFF and BLURRY FACE exit the vents.*
BLURRY FACE: Spectre! Why didn’t you warn us about the other two?!
*The radio of Spectre’s voice is glitched.*
CREAMPUFF: *Sarcastically* Great.
THE GREATER BEING: Sofi! Kaitlyn!
Go and be sure Rydel is safe.
*SOFI and KAITLYN run off.*
THE ACTOR: Guy?
OBSIDIAN: Smart move, now your outnumbered.
THE GREATER BEING: Oh it’s funny you think I’m going to fight you.
*THE GREATER BEING presses a different button on the remote and OBSIDIAN stands straight up with blank eyes, then the collar falls off OBSIDIAN’s neck and THE GREATER BEING heads for the door before saying.*
THE GREATER BEING: Attack to kill.
STRIKE #3
SATURDAY
*SPECTRE, dressed in a casual outfit with a satchel, leg vine and home made mask, looks down at the card then up at an old looking house, confused.*
SPECTRE: Is this the right place?
*BLURRY FACE appears behind them.*
BLURRY FACE: You get a card too?
*SPECTRE shows her the card.*
SPECTRE: Yeah, I did.
But I'm not sure this is the correct address...
BLURRY FACE: Of course it is.
The best place to hide is in plain sight.
*BLURRY FACE opens the door and walks in, so does SPECTRE.*
SPECTRE: Wow!
*Panel shows the inside of the old house is incredibly high tech and doesn't match the outside of the building.*
BLURRY FACE: Told ya!
CREAMPUFF: Oh, more people!
Is The Actor with you guys or are we going to have to wait a little longer?
SPECTRE: Oh wow! Creampuff! I've seen you on TV!
*CREAMPUFF stands up from the desk she was sitting on and walks over to join BLURRY FACE and SPECTRE.*
CREAMPUFF: Really? How was I? I'm not entirely used to being in front of a camera...
SPECTRE: You were, uh, are so cool!
CREAMPUFF: Aw, thanks!
*THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN walk in.*
BLURRY FACE: Is that Obsidian!!?
Why's he here!!?
CREAMPUFF: Well, The Actor, here thought it would be a good idea to join forces with a villain.
THE ACTOR: Creampuff, that's enough.
They are here to help us find Guy, as are the rest of you.
CREAMPUFF: Fine, whatever, I still don't trust them.
SPECTRE: Um uh, sorry but...
...Do you have a plan to find him? Guy, I mean.
He may have been a very popular hero a year ago but not much is known about him.
BLURRY FACE: Yeah, I may have been watching from the shadows for all those years but even I barely know him.
THE ACTOR: Well...
...I don't exactly have a plan but...
*THE ACTOR pulls up a file on a large computer.*
THE ACTOR: This is Guy's file.
Everything he documented, every fight he fought, all his personal information, It's all here.
I thought we could find some sort of clue in here but I've been over it a million times and found nothing.
OBSIDIAN: Wait, are you telling me you went through all the trouble of getting us all here and you don't even have a plan? *Sarcastically* >tt< Some hero.
SPECTRE: Did you try checking the cities surveillance footage of the day he went missing?
THE ACTOR: Hm?
*SPECTRE walks over to the computer and pulls up the cities surveillance.*
SPECTRE: Now, when was he last seen?
THE ACTOR: I last had contact with him on his birthday.
BLURRY FACE: February 28!
THE ACTOR: Yes...
...How did you know that?
BLURRY FACE: Been studying heroes for a living, remember? I know all kinds of stuff about Guy, and you too!
CREAMPUFF: So, your a stalker?
OBSIDIAN: Creepy.
BLURRY FACE: I'm not a stalker!
And I wouldn't be talking, Obsidian. I know stuff all about you too!
OBSIDIAN: Wait, what!!?
*SPECTRE pulls up the surveillance of February 28th on the computer and points at the footage on the right hand corner.*
SPECTRE: Is that him?
THE ACTOR: Woah! You found him!
Nice work, Bug!
SPECTRE: Oh uh, could you call me Spectre?
It's more of a alias I've been working on...
THE ACTOR: Sure thing, Spectre.
BLURRY FACE: Oh! And y'all can call me Blurry Face!!
CREAMPUFF: And why's that?
BLURRY FACE: You'll see why, eventually.
SPECTRE: It looks like he ran into a bar. How old is he?
BLURRY FACE: 18, to young to be drinking.
CREAMPUFF: Stalker.
OBSIDIAN: Creepy.
THE ACTOR: And why is he in his uniform? He's retired.
SPECTRE: Maybe we should go to the bar and investigate.
THE ACTOR: Great idea, Spectre!
*SPECTRE smiles. OBSIDIAN takes a closer look at the computer screen*
OBSIDIAN: Nope, nine, nada, no can do.
THE ACTOR: Hm?
OBSIDIAN: That's The Tipsy Possum bar.
CREAMPUFF: So?
OBSIDIAN: That place is crawling with goons, villains and other *Quotation fingers* evil doers.
CREAMPUFF: Ok, and...?
OBSIDIAN: The criminal underworld here lives by a very strict code, if they find out I broke that code I'm dead.
And that's not me being funny, they'll probably kill me or worse.
CREAMPUFF: Fine with me.
THE ACTOR: Creampuff!
CREAMPUFF: What? Their probably lying to you so they can stay here and use your cool tech to do who knows what!
THE ACTOR: I doubt that.
Besides if anyone does try to attack you, they'll have to go through me!
OBSIDIAN: No offense, but I don't like those chances.
THAT NIGHT
*The team arrive in front of The Tipsy Possum bar.*
BLURRY FACE: Oh, looks like you were able to drag the edge lord here.
OBSIDIAN: Edge lord?
THE ACTOR: Remember, we are here for investigation and interrogation only.
No fights.
SPECTRE: Okie!!
CREAMPUFF: Fine.
*The team enter the bar and split up to individually investigate, OBSIDIAN notices some sketchy guys in the corner giving them dirty looks.*
OBSIDIAN: Shit.
STRIKE #2
THE NEXT MORNING
*Panel shows the bell ringing at a high school, THE ACTOR and CREAMPUFF walk to class.*
CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!
Can we talk real quick?
THE ACTOR: Sure thing, Goldie.
Is everything okaaayyy-??
*CREAMPUFF pulls THE ACTOR into a corner to speak in private.*
CREAMPUFF: I know.
THE ACTOR: You know...what?
CREAMPUFF: I know about The Actor and I know about Obsidian.
Mars, I know about you.
THE ACTOR: Elizabeth. I have o clue what your talking about.
CREAMPUFF: Mars, I know you are The Actor.
THE ACTOR: How do you-
*THE ACTOR is cut off by TELEPORTER.*
TELEPORTER: Elizabeth!
There you are! I've been looking all over for you!
*CREAMPUFF annoyingly waves.*
TELEPORTER: Oh, hello there, Farrell!
THE ACTOR: Keegan! What's up, my man?
TELEPORTER: Oh, nothing much. I was just looking for the two of you, we're going to be late for class!
CREAMPUFF: *Sarcastically* Great.
THE ACTOR: Well then, let's get going.
*Whispering, to CREAMPUFF* We'll talk about this later.
AFTER SCHOOL
*Panels show THE ACTOR fighting some goons in an alleyway, they defeat them and go to comfort a young woman who the goons attacked.*
THE ACTOR: Are you alright ma'am?
WOMAN: Yes. Th-thank you.
*The woman gathers her things and leaves the alleyway. OBSIDIAN jumps down into the alleyway, and knocks out a goon who was getting up to attack THE ACTOR from behind.*
OBSIDIAN: Might want to watch your surroundings.
What? No thank you?
THE ACTOR: *Smugly* Thank you, Obsidian.
OBSIDIAN: Your welcome.
See, was that so hard, hero?
THE ACTOR: *Sarcastically* So tough, such a struggle.
OBSIDIAN: *Sarcastically* Oh, yes. I'm sure it was.
THE ACTOR: So, why'd you drop by?
OBSIDIAN: I, uh...
...I wanted to talk about last night.
THE ACTOR: Oh...
*THE ACTOR blushes and can easily be seen behind their domino mask.*
OBSIDIAN: Yeah, I...
...I wanted to apologize.
THE ACTOR: Apologize, huh? That's out of character for you.
OBSIDIAN: Heh, I know. But, I just don't know what came over me last night and...
...I'm sorry.
THE ACTOR: Well, your forgiven.
Was that all you wanted to talk about?
OBSIDIAN: Well, now that you mention it...
...Last night, after our meeting I was confronted by a girl in the alleyway.
THE ACTOR: Oh?
OBSIDIAN: She said she knew you.
THE ACTOR: What'd she look like?
OBSIDIAN: Its was hard to see in the dark but...
...She was dressed in some makeshift uniform with what looked like facepaint over her eyes...
...Oh, very blond hair I can tell you that!
THE ACTOR: I don't...
...Oh...Goldie.
OBSIDIAN: So, you know her?
THE ACTOR: No.
Well, yes. But...
OBSIDIAN: But?
THE ACTOR: It's nothing.
I've got to go.
OBSIDIAN: Again?
You seem to have a habit of walking out mid conversation.
THE ACTOR: I'm sorry but...
...I need to make a call.
*THE ACTOR grapples away leaving OBSIDIAN in the alleyway alone.*
OBSIDIAN: ...Damn.
LATER
*THE ACTOR is at home trying to contact CREAMPUFF on the phone.*
THE ACTOR: Come on, come on, pick up!
CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Hey!
THE ACTOR: Hey, Goldie!
CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Sorry I can't come to the phone right now...
...But leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
THE ACTOR: Damn.
*Beep.*
THE ACTOR: Goldie. We need to talk. Please call me back.
*THE ACTOR looks over to the TV which is currently showing the news.*
NEWSCASTER: And in other news, Creampuff, a newly established hero has defeated her first major foe.
We have Greg over on the scene. Greg?
GREG: Yes, Carmen. I am here at the scene of the battle with Creampuff.
Now tell us, what made you decide to join the fight?
THE ACTOR: Oh my god.
Goldie!!?
CREAMPUFF: Well, Greg I became Creampuff because I wanted to help those in immediate danger-
*THE ACTOR turns of the TV and sits there on their couch in shock.*
THAT NIGHT
*THE ACTOR crawls into the window of CREAMPUFFs house.*
THE ACTOR: *Whispering* Goldie!
Elizabeth we need to talk!
*CREAMPUFF turns on the light.*
CREAMPUFF: I knew you'd come.
THE ACTOR: What the hell do you think your doing?
CREAMPUFF: ...What?
THE ACTOR: You've just made yourself a target!
Your not trained for something like this!
CREAMPUFF: I know I'm not but I couldn't just stand around and watch you be an idiot!
THE ACTOR: Idiot!!?
CREAMPUFF: You struck a deal with Obsidian!
Their a villain! You of all people know what they've done! How could you trust them!
THE ACTOR: I knew it.
*THE ACTOR points a finger at CREAMPUFF.*
THE ACTOR: You were the one who talked to them last night!
*CREAMPUFF crosses her arms.*
CREAMPUFF: And what if I was?
THE ACTOR: Elizabeth, your putting yourself in danger, this is a situation that you don't understand.
CREAMPUFF: ...You are too.
Let me join your team.
THE ACTOR: Hm?
CREAMPUFF: Your making a team. I want in.
THE ACTOR: What did I just say about putting yourself in danger!!?
CREAMPUFF: I wont be in danger. You'll be there.
THE ACTOR: No, Goldie.
CREAMPUFF: Fine.
But I'm not going to stop being Creampuff.
THE ACTOR: *Sighs in defeat* Fine.
*CREAMPUFF smiles. THE ACTOR gives her a card*
THE ACTOR: Meet me next saturday at this location.
CREAMPUFF: I'll see you there.
STRIKE Issue #1
*Panel shows a riot of civilians in front of the city hall. SPECTRE is not yet a hero.*
SPECTRE: Please everyone!
Calm down please!
CIVILIAN ONE: We don't want to be saved by your vigilantes!
CIVILIAN TWO: Are we training our children to send them to their deaths and call them heroes?! That's just wrong!
SPECTRE: Please calm down!
Our cities heroes are only trying to help you!
CIVILIAN THREE: We don't want their help!
CIVILIAN FOUR: They're just freaks the government's using as soldiers!
*OBSIDIAN makes their way through the crowd and to a place everyone can see them.*
OBSIDIAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
CIVILIAN TWO: Oh dear god!
CIVILIAN FOUR: A villain!
OBSIDIAN: Now I would recommend that you all skedaddle. I have some business I need to attend to.
*The crowd all fearfully run away.*
Now we wait for The Actor.
MEANWHILE
*CREAMPUFF, who is not yet CREAMPUFF is heading towards her dance class when she sees THE ACTOR in civvies being suspiciously in a rush.*
CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!
Where are you off too...?
*THE ACTOR doesn't notice CREAMPUFF and keeps running, CREAMPUFF, suspicious, follows unseen. THE ACTOR runs to the city hall and changes into their uniform before entering.*
THE ACTOR: Obsidian.
OBSIDIAN: Ah, you made it, hero!
I was starting to think you wouldn't show up.
THE ACTOR: Well of course I would show up.
I'm the one who needed to talk to you.
See STRIKE #0
OBSIDIAN: Oh yes, I remember.
Now, what was it that you wanted to discuss?
*CREAMPUFF catches up to THE ACTOR and hides behind a door and watches everything.*
CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Wait...
Thats The Actor and...
...Obsidian?
Where did Mars go?
THE ACTOR: You'll actually be surprised.
OBSIDIAN: Oh?
THE ACTOR: I want to recruit you. To reform you.
OBSIDIAN: Recruit me? Reform me?
THE ACTOR: Yes.
OBSIDIAN: Now, why would you even want to do that? Hm? Do you think I can really be trusted?
Hero, I'm the bad guy, in case you forgot.
THE ACTOR: Listen, Guy has gone missing.
I didn't have much connection with him after his retirement but I know he wasn't the most social person.
During his hero days you were who we fought against the most.
I don't know...
...I thought you would know something about him or where he might go after studying him for so long.
*Panel shows shock on both OBSIDIAN and CREAMPUFFs faces.*
OBSIDIAN: My...
CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Guy...is...gone...?
OBSIDIAN: Well...
...That is certainly some interesting news.
THE ACTOR: So...
...What do ya say?
OBSIDIAN: I don't think the public will be very happy if I were to play hero.
THE ACTOR: If you help me with a missing persons case as big as this I'll see what i can do about getting you pardoned.
OBSIDIAN: I doubt you'll do that.
You don't even trust me, do you?
THE ACTOR: I do trust you.
OBSIDIAN: Then prove it.
THE ACTOR: How about I make you a deal?
If you join me, I'll tell you who's behind the mask.
*OBSIDIAN smiles.*
OBSIDIAN: Alright, hero.
You've got yourself a deal.
*THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN shake hands to seal the deal.*
OBSIDIAN: So now tell me, who are you?
*THE ACTOR slowly takes off their mask*
CREAMPUFF: *Gasp. Whispering, to self.* Oh my god...
The Actor is...
THE ACTOR: My name is...
CREAMPUFF AND THE ACTOR: Mars!
*CREAMPUFF was a little to loud and was heard by THE ACTOR catching their attention. THE ACTOR suddenly looks toward the door, CREAMPUFF covers her mouth in fear.*
THE ACTOR: I'm sorry, I thought I heard something.
OBSIDIAN: *In awe* ...Your beautiful.
THE ACTOR: Hm?
*THE ACTOR quickly turns back to face OBSIDIAN who is slowly reaching their arm towards THE ACTOR who takes a large step back.*
OBSIDIAN: I thought you trusted me.
*THE ACTOR leans forwards to show trust and OBSIDIAN tucks a few strands of hair behind THE ACTORs ears, holding their face.*
OBSIDIAN: Heh, I didn't know you had freckles...
...They're cute.
*THE ACTOR smiles. OBSIDIAN takes off their own mask and leans in for a kiss. THE ACTOR pulls away.*
THE ACTOR: Well, um uh. Good to know your on the team...
...I've got a uh, few more people to talk to so um I'll stay in touch...
*THE ACTOR puts both of their masks back on to hide the fact that they are currently a blushing mess as they head toward to window and pull out a grappling hook.*
OBSIDIAN: But...
THE ACTOR: Good bye!
*THE ACTOR grapples away. OBSIDIAN throws their mask down and sit on the windowsill.*
OBSIDIAN: Stupid!
Ugh! what is wrong with you that was a stupid move!
*CREAMPUFF looks back at her dance bag and thinks hard while staring at a dark blue crop top with a heart logo.*
LATER
*Panels show THE ACTOR arrive at a cabin house on the outskirts of town and an apartment door, both residents answer.*
THE ACTOR: Hello...
...V.
...Bug.
I am putting together a team to search for a missing persons and I am well aware of your abilities.
BLURRY FACE: My abilities? I-I don't know what your talking about...
...You must have the wrong person.
SPECTRE: Missing? Who's gone missing?
THE ACTOR: V, I am well aware that you have been following Guy and I for the past few years.
I know very well about the powers of your incense and crystals as well.
Guy has gone missing, I need your expertise to help find him.
SPECTRE: I'm not so sure if I'm the right person for this, don't get me wrong I would love to help but...
There is nothing special about me.
BLURRY FACE: And all this time I thought I was being sneaky.
Ok, I'll help!
THE ACTOR: Nonsense. I've heard about how you can calm a crowd and that you are incredibly handy with a computer.
We could use a tech expert on our team.
SPECTRE: Wow, thats really an honor...
...I would love to join you! Thank you so much for this opportunity!
THE ACTOR: Perfect!
*THE ACTOR hands them both a card.*
THE ACTOR: Meet me at this address on saturday next week at exactly 4:45.
Don't be late.
BLURRY FACE: Will do!
SPECTRE: Thank you! I'll be there!
LATER
*OBSIDIAN is stopped in an alleyway by CREAMPUFF in a makeshift uniform made from her dance clothes.*
OBSIDIAN: And who might you be?
CREAMPUFF: I'm no one.
But...
*CREAMPUFF threatenly leans in toward OBSIDIAN.*
CREAMPUFF: If you dare hurt Mars.
I'll kill you.
*OBSIDIAN nonchalantly pushes CREAMPUFF back with one hand.*
OBSIDIAN: Calm down, creampuff.
You got nothing to worry about.
*OBSIDIAN walks away.*
CREAMPUFF: Sure.
But I'll be watching.
everytime i'm watching something with one of my siblings and i bring up how i think a character is lgbtq+ they're like 'oh? and wheres the proof?' like bestie i just know
