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!!

TruthLum’s truth:
The memory of the day they left for the academy is not something they could easily forget. They waiting outside along with the shadow helper who came to get them, Lum deep down knew that it wouldn’t be different this time and that they were only staling the inevitable, their parents wouldn’t be coming to see them off.
The cipher academy is the first place they’ve been able to call home, why would they be evil that wouldn’t make sense it has to be false. It has to.
While both Miriam and Raz are pretty intimidating they’re willing to step out of their comfort zone if it means protecting their home

Alais’s truth
Even though the academy saved her life she has always has issues with it. feeling like nothing can ever be good enough. It’s like being trapped in a cage.
While she has never really been a fan of Raz, Miriam is the mysterious outsider and everything only started happening when she arrived. This is the only way she needs to be stopped

Etzel’s truth
He is eternally grateful for the cipher academy as he comes from a poor family and while he wishes he could see them more often he realises that it’s a lot better financially that he is at the academy, now his mother only needs to take care of one child. He is also a shadow helper in training and are also so close to graduating this is what he has worked his whole life towards he can’t let it be ruined now
Both him and Raz are both 9th year’s however they’ve never really gotten along, and when Miriam started asking questions he also realised that he knew nothing about Raz and while he doesn’t fully trust Miriam ether he will side with her to protect the academy, his friends and family

Mara’s truth
Her attachments to the academy are in more ways than one, as her father is a high up government official and was already aware of the supernatural so when her ability manifested he was there for her. she loves her dad and she believes in the cipher academy and yes it’s not perfect but what in life is.

In the current state of CA rumours are spreading like wildfire and it is hard to keep track of what’s actually happening. Though one thing is certain this is more than just petty drama between between students and actions must be made to protect the future of the academy

ohhhh their thought processes are so interesting!!! (And also match their characters so well too!)
THIS IS???? SO GOOD???? LIKE I'M BEING SO LEGIT RN I'M FREAKING AMAZED BY THAT DESCRIPTION!! It starts off strong with "(character's) truth" being the title on each one bc that's a such a cool way to see it and I immediately felt dragged into each perspective! Then it only gets better by the way you drescribe each thought process behind their decisions and that final paragraph??? 🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Jett I'm being so fr, you're giving me so much inspo and I can't wait to add your children to the fight! Thank you for giving it so much thought 💕
