Aprica - Remains of the World Tree
Name: Aprica
My first serious OC, part of an original artwork series that I'm incubating.
Everything is still WIP and nothing is decided for certain yet.
Introduction
A fragment of the withering World Tree. She and her kin are tasked with 2 missions: to sustain the life of the World Tree and to restore its ability to photosynthesis.
Appearance
Ritual Outfit
Casual Outfit
- The pattern on her scarf is from the sun and moon in the Ritual Outfit.
- Details: Emblem and Button Design
Lore
She is a standard fragment that is not derived from any notable parts of the Tree like flower, bark, root, etc. (think of her like a tiny cell or something similar) There are countless of fragments like her roaming around. She is the 10951th one to assume a humanoid form, the 291th one to leave the World Tree Node and the 2nd one to arrive to the Human Node. (a Node is the term for parallel realm)
She's given the name Aprica, latin for "warmed by the sun". She's also referred as 2nd by her fellow fragments in the Human Node.
Thanks to the collaboration with the local government, her kin are supplied with technological, occult and cultural support to achieve their goal.
The standard equipment of a fragment: battery, IV drip bag and solar panel. They also carry samples of dead branches and surviving leaves of the World Tree.
She and some batches of humanoid fragments bear the appearance of elvish people, it was derived from fantasy stories in the Human Node (brought back by the 1st fragment.)
Personal details
- She likes to eat apple and drink jasmine milk tea with water chestnut boba (50% sweet, no ice).
- She love the look of the sun partly hidden by a thin layer of cloud, but hate the sun otherwise. The hate for the sun is shared among all fragments of the World Tree.
- She enjoys food review and cooking shows, recently she's been enjoying food isekai anime.
- She looks cool and stern, but awkward around people. Generally her face doesn't exude any emotion.
Professional details:
- She is a member of the expedition team. In the World Tree Node, she is tasked with collecting samples of the Tree and finding surviving leaves. In the Human Node, she is tasked with travelling the world to find new ways to help the Tree and mitigate the harms caused by the hostile fragments.
- The point of the character is to be "one in many" or "a drop in the ocean". She's not a leader figure but just a staff doing her job.
Notes for commission, art trade or fanart:
Anyone unfamiliar with the character and settings can basically draw this appearance in any way you want, as she's like a "mass produced" being and this appearance is shared among her "production" batch (author notes: I'm basically saying that OOC will never be a problem. The main reason is that I want to see this design and concept in other people's hand.). To specifically draw Aprica, please read and follow the above lore.
