Cipher Academy - Choose Your Truth

Cipher Academy - Choose Your Truth

The inevitable is here... Sadly I couldn't post this at the same time I posted the last comic bc this cherry blossom has seriously been wilting recently phew... But yeah, with the Truth comes a Choice. It's now the time for the Cipher Academy students to choose their truth! Both Raz and Miriam need allies and they are going to look for them through connections and word of mouth. On Raz's side we have Meylo and Valeria On Miriam's side we have Amai Now it's a matter of exploring how these characters and stories connect with your OCs RULES: - Draw your Cipher OC(s) wearing the t-shirt with the colour of the side they pick (green for Raz, red for Miriam); - If you have multiple OCs, you can draw one per piece OR draw them all together with their respective shirts, it's up to you; - You can also draw a mini comic or interaction that portrays how each of the OCs made their choice (which I would LOVE to see since, ya'know, it's fun to see how everyone reacts to the story but no pressure), but don't forget to ALWAYS add the coloured shirt somehow; (This challenge is mainly a census, but will also serve as a way for you to explore the narratives as your OC(s) and determine their path through this decision) HOW TO PICK A SIDE: - DO NOT pick based on your own ideals; - Each OC has their own personality, their own friends and their own beliefs. Some may be more inclined to side with their friends, while others would be very reliant on what they think is right, even if none of their friends believe the same. Different characters thinks different ways; - Imagine the way your OC would be told both narratives/one narrative and why they'd believe in it or not; - Take into account their personality and their relationship with authority; - Take into account their impression of Miriam and Raz themselvels; - And lastly EVERYONE joining needs to pick a side. Don't worry, there's no bad consequences for either choice, they're just deciding what they believe in. Any other questions you might have I'll be always open to answering! Also the challenge will have a time limit just because this challenge will no longer be relevant as the story progresses and Plot 1 ends, so I'm giving everyone 1 month <3 Have fun thinking about the future!!

Choices...This is definetly not the best quality but if I have to look at it for another minute I'll explode.
So! Reasonings!

Amy is picking Miriam 'cause she trusts the school and doesn't want to cross the shadow helpers. Her life got significantly better after joining CA and she's met some wonderful people there! Sure her drawback is hard to deal with, but she's getting help with it and they believe her when she says she forgot something (plus she already had a lighter form of memory loss before finding out about her power)

Inigo is NOT siding with a cop, thank you very much. He hasn't heard much about this whole thing but what he has heard made him 100% pick Raz. He's extremely ready to jump on the "Cipher's teachers are hiding wrong deeds from us", as their life's gotten SOOO much worse since joining the school. The way they view their power is just unnecessary pain, and he hasn't had great experiences with his mentor either (hopefully I'll make a post explaining this some time). Also, in hte city he's from, authority isn't seen that well, especially not from the suburbs' point of view (some areas are completely neglected while the rich get richer).

That said tho, neither of them are about to jump in the crowd fighting or anything. Inigo is scared they'll get arrested and Amy generally prefers avoiding confrontation (and has the impression that most people on Raz's side are like, dangerous outlaws and people she definitely wants to avoid)

Things are getting tense in the Academy, aren't they..?
