Ash<p>Ben and Yazmina!</p><p>Ben (he/him) is a red shlorpian who is a young adult, and is one I've shared a lot around and love to talk about. Distinctive features include a blinded left eye which bears a scar down it. He is a gentle soul, kind and with patience to spare. While runtish in his early years he is the replicant of a mutant shlorpian with gigantism and as such has inherited it. At his full height he's about 8 ft tall! He experiences body dysmorphia at times because of his height and size once he gets the first of his growth spurts. Modern-day Ben works as a farmhand on Earth. He has a deep love and care for all aspects of the farm, especially for animals and takes joy in caring for them.</p><p>You may notice I ship him with Yumyulack, a canon character from the show. This ship is incredibly personal to me, as I project a lot of my own real-life feelings about my late teen years onto Yumyulack, and pairing him with Ben is very healing to me. Unless stated otherwise, Ben/Yum pictures take place in a post-canon au where both are roughly the equivalent to 20 in shlorpian years. They are the same age, plus or minus a few months.</p><p>Personality: (Younger): very shy and cautious, but kind and sweet. (Older): friendly and open, worried about others and expresses concern for them. Ben cares about being helpful or useful to the detriment of his own health at times. Sensitive over his scarred eye. Slow to anger but will end things decisively if you piss him off. He suffers from mild PTSD.</p><p>Yazmina (Yaz, she/her) is a light blue young adult shlorpian who wears hearing aids. She is otherwise hard of hearing, close to deaf. Yaz is the adopted sister of Ben and both share a close platonic, familial bond. The replicant of a rich shlorpian, living on Earth has let her really feel freedom for the first time in her life and she's flourished. Her personality is wild, brash, blunt and fun-loving. She cares and feels deeply about whatever it is she's feeling about. She identifies as a lesbian, but is only loosely attached to the concept of being a woman. Her hobbies include vulture culture and exercising. Between her and Ben, she's the one you don't want to mess with. She is slightly older than Ben, and much like Ben, most times I draw her are taking place in the modern-day when she is roughly 20 years old.</p><p>Both were discovered by Mal and Dom, young and the only two survivors of an ill-fated team. Their team leader- Ben's dad- died to kill a T-Rex who attacked their camp, and Yaz's mother perished in the initial attack. This is the source of their injuries and scars which healed the way they did due to Dom's lack of evacuation team technology and the ship Ben and Yaz were in was largely totaled.</p><p><a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/solaropposites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solaropposites</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/oc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oc</span></a> <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/originalcharacter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>originalcharacter</span></a></p>
