About

Hi there! I go by Zaralla1 in online spaces, but you can also call me Vanja. I draw whenever it's possible, and I mostly do it for my own fun. I love anything Soulsborne related, and I love characters with sharp teeth! My gallery includes mostly OC & multifandom work, and lately I've been a lot into gachas which reflects on my current OC's & fan-OC's. Right now I'm trying to focus on a large webcomic project featuring my characters, but they will be featured on a different website.

*OC's/fan OC’s are written so they can pair up with my favorite characters. Sometimes they borrow elements from the universe they are in so they can feel more believable. Canon characters are “ocified”, which is indicated by their slightly different design to help distinguish them from canon representation (To help against possible confusion!)

OC BoundariesDo's ✔️

Artworks are welcome! as long as no genAI is used anywhere in the process!Kinning is okay!It's okay to draw your OC's together with mine! Just make sure its platonic!
Writing fanfics/AU/stories is okay if you ask me permission!Headcanons are okay!Doubles are okay! I don't mind interacting with them!

Dont's ❌

Do not use my characters in roleplays!Do not use my characters on genAI sites (chatbot AI's, etc.)No shipping! I ship my characters with my irl partner's characters only!
Do not write/draw NSFW stuff about my characters. If you do, keep it private.

✧Some character quotes✧- "As you wish ♡"- "You have wonderful nails, miss Bambinata!"- "Oh, finally! A normal person!" (approaches Roland)- "I forgot to introduce myself, right? Sorry about that"- "Argh! this is just like in the "Lone survivor" when the last guy takes a stand against his enemies in the forest!"- "Ola, ola! Time to play!" (orders his mechanoids to attack)- "Ahh I was always a little... you know"- "She's a right old bossy-boots isn't she?" (talking about Vanessa)︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶
✧Fun facts ✎. . . . . . . .He never forgets to say his 'thank you' even if he is in a rush.Because of his job, he often carries corpse parts in his bag and even his pockets if he's running out of space. If you randomly went to do a pat-down search you'd probably be freaked out.Due to Earth's saturation with the virus, his mechanoids occasionally go berserk. He has to put them down for his own safety, then later tries to repair them using his knowledge from assembling corpses because he can't request maintenance so often (There is a disparity between the quality of his mechanoids and the times he can have them repaired in Babylonia).He isn't shy of criticizing Roland. Even though he's just a human, he will "tell it how it is" to the Ascendant, straight into his face. Sometimes Roland will pretend to be extra serious/pissed off just to see if Wes will back down (He doesn't) and it's something he respects about him.Roland keeps putting beautifully penned handwritten letters into corpses because he knows Wesley will find them.Roland offered to rename his mechanoids. Wes didn't accept.

Positive traits 🔹 & Negative traits 🔸

✓ Good-natured and caring✘ Emotionally immature which often gets him misunderstood
✓ Likes helping people and wants them to know they're valued✘ Becomes irresponsible when prioritizing his desires first
✓ Good at taking care of himself (And others) on Earth✘ Can be rude and standoffish. Will be annoying on purpose
✓ Talkative and curious✘ Bad with setting boundaries
✓ Warm and accomodating. He will share anything he owns✘ Passive-aggressive and holds grudges
✓ Quietly works in the background to help people get along✘ Very forgetful and easily believes nonsense (conspiracy theorist)
✓ Not squeamish at all and minds his own business✘ Loses himself in others (mirrors the desires of others and loses sight of his own)

✧Extra info ✎. . . . . . . .- His job includes collecting dog tags and memory modules from fallen constructs (Also cataloguing and identifying their bodyparts), salvaging usable equipment, occasional sabotage, basic forensics, reconstruction, retrieving serum from fallen squads back to Babylonia and recovering or destroying Science Council’s technology so it doesn’t fall into their competitor’s hands. He also assists the Purifying Force, helping them dispose of evidence or fake deaths of people that Babylonia wants to hide.- Often seen as a shady individual because of the nature of his work, which leads to him being isolated and ridiculed. He follows wherever death goes and his job itself is also seen as quite inelegant.- Self-conscious about his hands so he constantly wears gloves. They’re always cold and sweaty, and that makes him feel unclean especially since he works with corpses. No matter how often he washes them, he feels like people will still see him as gross.- His job is mostly 'safe' since he is dispatched to mission areas after operations have already been concluded. He is also given a highly-powered exoskeleton that he loves to wear. He also really loves his mechanoids, even though he’s forced to kill them from time to time due to punishing infection.- Despite all the negative baggage, Wes did learn to like his job. After the treatment people give him, he almost prefers working with corpses. He also likes his job because he knows it’s safe. He has no desire to risk his life for unnecessary reasons and seeing in how many different ways other commandants and constructs have died only improved his sense of self-preservation. Each corpse he finds is like a hint for keeping himself out of harm's way.- He is friendly with: Karenina, Bridget, Bianca, Gray Ravens (All of them), Bambinata, Kamui, Teddy- The gun he uses has a very high calibre (It's a massive magnum revolver. Thank god for his exoskeleton that helps stabilize the recoil), so when he puts his own mechanoids down he has to buy completely new components to replace old ones. Luckily, Karenina helps him by selling off scrap or surplus parts that the Engineering force no longer needs. This is all done off the records.- The gore that comes with his work doesn’t bother him and he can ignore most of it. While restoring bodies, he will often have a severed bodypart on his table and remain completely unfazed even if he knew the person when they were still alive. Sometimes he even watches cooking videos on his phone to pass time while working. He is somewhat superstitious though, which doesn't bode well for him considering his profession (He's actually scared of ghosts). This paranoia started with his M.I.N.D. beacon damage.- Talking to himself is one of the methods of stabilizing his damaged brain implant. By hearing any voice, including his own, Wes can stay grounded without getting lost in flashes of random moments and memories brought on by the Punishing virus. When he doesn’t talk, his state gets progressively worse. Since his dated mechanoids often make for poor conversational partners, he also struck up a habit of talking to corpses while he’s taking them apart.- Over time, It has proven impossible to become the person he once used to be. Even though Wesley wants people to be able to rely on him, his condition always set him back and reminds him that his current job is all he can manage. That is why he considers being called “Achilles” (Even though it’s his original squad’s name) as equally derogatory as calling him a ‘fake commandant’.- Even though he was ‘forgiven’ for his mistake with Ember, it sure doesn’t feel that way. This developed a capricious nature in Wes and it’s why he prefers spending time on Earth as opposed to the starship, even though it’s safer there.

Wesley's story

Team leader of a clean-up crew that takes orders primarily from the Babylonian government, and frequently acts as their informant. Wes hails from the Nighter ship as a stowaway with his mother, where homelessness and overpopulation forced them to commit petty acts of crime to survive. Their relationship became a lot more abusive as Wes grew older, and he eventually snuck into Babylonia's cargo ship during a time of their cooperation with Kowloong. Since Babylonia also wanted to spy on their ally, they gave Wesley a few missions as "a test". Since he succeeded and showed a lot of potential (and was still a child) they decided to fulfill their promise to him and took him to the sky fortress. This is where they trained him to become a field commandant. He started a bit late because he was older than the other kids, but he worked hard because he felt obligated to Babylonia and started doing missions early. It took him years to finally graduate as a F.O.S. commandant and become responsible for his own team.Unfortunately, he could only be a commandant for 3 months, before one of his constructs malfunctioned fatally and became infected with the punishing (Ember). This happened after he was betrayed by a group of raiders who wanted to kill him and dismantle his constructs for "usable parts". To make matters worse, this construct encountered an Ascendant who shared his power with her. Wesley almost lost his life while trying to maintain a connection with her while she slowly transformed into one of them. In the end she left with the other Ascendant, and Wesley's M.I.N.D. beacon became permanently tainted. It was one of the shortest careers in Babylonia. Luckily for him, he has been useful to Babylonia since childhood, and it was their choice to take him in, so they decided not to completely abandon him. Instead of leaving him to scramble for survival with a damaged M.I.N.D. beacon and a completely ruined reputation, Hassen authorized the formation of a new squad under the name of his old one. The once-promising Achilles was resurrected as a corpse retrieval squad. This is where Wes is now.

Often comes up with „schrodinger's lies“. What is true and what isn't is something he decides independently of context where the „lie“ is happening. That is why, sometimes with Roland, words no longer have their original meaning because he is still deciding how he feels about what he's saying.

Roland's story

Roland is a dutiful and loyal „knight“ who serves Luna in a world where no knights exist. He started out his life in an amusement park which he was sold to by his own parents, and there he was forced to hurt his only friend for the amusement of others, until the day he realized that he was also played for a fool. He was finally freed when the Punishing Outbreak occured, but only because the people in charge there left him to die. He even ended up as a test subject for some rogue scientists instead of being saved... And then ended up being abandoned all the same. One bad day was worse than the others, and he thought about ending his life. But then he was saved by Luna who helped him become an “Ascendant” instead. Besides saving him, miss Luna was also the first real person that didn’t have a reason to lie to him or betray him. Then, he gave himself a goal to follow her and fulfil her wishes. He hopes that among the Ascendants, at least she can live a normal life, and this is what he strives for.Some time later, Roland still continued to talk to himself a lot, which was something he used to do since childhood. He abstained from approaching any people because of the traumatizing experience with his first friend. He felt as though people getting close to him would just result with them getting hurt. Soon though, he would hear about a bizarre commandant named “Wesley” who preferred the company of mechanoids to that of other people. It reminded him a bit of his situation at the amusement park, and he thought it was odd that someone could enjoy such a thing. Still, it sounded pretty interesting so he decided to cautiously come near. He ended up wanting to know “what sort of person” this stranger would see once they got to know him. They continued to spend more time together, until Roland started to loosen up. He first developed empathy for Wes, and then for himself. Their exchanges continued until their friendship grew into affection... After so many years of wanting “nothing for himself”, Roland realized he wanted this person to stay by his side.
