OC lore post #2

Posted by Recruta - March 25th, 2023


Some time ago I did a thread within my twitter circles and the catch was simple: if you came across that post, you HAD to ask me something about Gabriela and I'd extract big lore out of the tiniest questions. (at least as much as the character limit allowed)


Here's a compilation I did of them all:

Gabriela, for reference.


About her suit:

  1. - Was given to her by an yet undisclosed sponsor to aid her in her search for her father.
  2. - Like others from the same project, it was initially designed to traverse and protect the user from hostile environments created post-WW3. Was later improved and weaponized for combat.
  3. - Stabilization technology on the zero suit underneath the plating allows her to not twist her ankles while running with heels. She does prefer to use the heels' boosters to dash and float rather than run though.
  4. - Her suit can be repaired with nanotech paste: just apply it to damage and it'll mold itself into the armor so it looks good as new.
  5. - Needs a specialized technician to fine tune and change certain attributes of her armor.
  6. - Makes her strong enough to be a fair fight against a 10 ft tall Gargoyle UAV drone.


About herself:

  1. - Getting her driver's license was the proudest she's ever been. First thing she did with it was round up her best friend, hop with her onto her motorcycle and do a huge road trip alongside the coast.
  2. - That best friend is called Liliane. Gabriela had to leave her behind before setting off to find her own father.
  3. - Avoids developing relationships like the plague, and tries approaching new people with a cold and distant attitude. She doesn't want to leave anyone hurting in case she bites the dust.
  4. - Due to her father's background as a journalist, she and her dad already had a few penalties dealt to them by Corvian's administration before he was taken away, affecting them both financially. (She cannot buy good chips brands like Pringles because of this)
  5. - Fucking hates Nathanael but after having to team up with him to survive... they still keep hating on each other but they at least agree that the other is good at what they do.
  6. - Her favorite color is black. She started putting more white and purple in her wardrobe after getting her suit, that way undercover resistance members can identify her as a Team Alpha member among civilians.
  7. - Was studying to become a chef before shit hit the fan.
  8. - Thinks her friend Diogo looks an awful lot like Kiryu.
  9. - Mains Sol Badguy and Giovanna in Guilty Gear Strive.

You have some solid pieces in your gallery, which is good. Clearly you've been on the artist's path for a while now.

A question: how do you price your work for commissions?

Thank you!

I mostly price them based on the time I spend (I mostly draw a lot of detailed armor and weaponry so my stuff takes a good while to do) and self-reflection of technical skill, which while I feel that I'm not at my 100% yet, I'm a cut above a parcel my peers that draw the same subject. I also am willing to negotiate lower for things simpler than what I usually do.

That, and I adjust them just a tiny bit based on demand and audience — my public is small so I try to keep it as accessible as possible while still giving me a good cut to help sustain myself in my country.

If you're interested or know somebody who is, you can just lead them to my collab page!
