Cipher Academy - Let's talk about fears 👻

(I'm posting this at 2am, so it's already monday, so it's not the weekend, so I failed you all 😭😭😭 I'm so sorry for being late again, frens, but I didn't know I'd be out all of sunday so this happened 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️) New Cipher challenge!! Ye!! This time with a very important but delicate topic/question: - What is your Cipher OC's biggest fear? Is there anything that would make them flat out reject a mission because of said fear? Rules: ✨ Draw your Cipher OC's biggest fear ✨ When I say "fear" I mean it as in "phobia", an irrational fear, something that leaves them trembling. This isn't about emotional fears, like "fear of losing everyone they love", but you can turn it into "fear of being alone" (there's a name for that, but I can't remember) ✨ REALLY think about this one, which fear would fit your character's personality and story best, or a fear that balances their power in a nice way. This challenge seems out of the blue but, I promise, This Is Important Information. ✨ Still the fear can be as serious or as silly as you wish, going from "I'm having a meltdown bc I'd rather die than face that" to "No freaking way and if you insist I'm gonna bite your face off" ✨ You can draw your OC talking about their fear, or them acting really freaking scared because of it; it can be a single illustration, or a mini comic, etc. ✨ Remember that some depictions of fears may trigger people so use a filter if you think it's needed 👍 ✨ There's no deadline on this one (and even tho it'll be important for the story it won't be needed right this moment, so don't worry) I hope you find new stuff about your OC you didn't know about!! ✨🌸🌻 NOTE: This is a Cipher Academy only challenge.

Knil - Fear: Athazagoraphobia

Athazagoraphobia- fear if forgetting/ being forgotten

Deuce - @saltea_ricky
Relic - @ulansprout

Backstory time!!! Get ready for this trauma fest (tw for car crash)

So long before coming to Cipher Academy Knil struggled with making friends. He was super shy and no one really even noticed he was there. He was just a small boy that no one really cared about.

That is until a little girl had decided to talk to him. She was only the smallest bit taller and had a very outgoing personality. She was well liked and always seemed happy.
And she sort of forced a friendship onto Knil (not that he minded). The two were almost inseparable. Almost…

It was about two years before Knil got into cipher academy when she had to move away. He was on his way back from saying his last goodbye when catastrophe struck. A large truck had crashed straight into their car sending him sprawling to the ground, head slamming on the surface.

It was a miracle that he and his father had survived. Some bones were injured and he had a lot of scars but mostly he was alright… except for the fact that he couldn’t remember anything.

Over the two years he was helped through the process of remembering his life. It was all going pretty well. The only thing he hadn’t remembered however was the face of his best friend.

He knew who she was from the stories he was told and the fragments of memories he had. But he couldn’t picture her face. It was terrible. He wished he could remember. He wished he could see her. But he couldn’t.

He was so scared.

Scared he’d forget his father and mother. Scared he’d forget his name. Scared because he had spent over four years with her and could barely remember her name.

That’s when he took up photography.

He was so terrified of forgetting another face or important memory that he began taking pictures of all the important things that he was going through. New friends, fun activities, and even the landscapes he found cool.

Unbeknownst to him, he was slowly adopting her personality without even remembering her. He became peppy and outgoing. He craved the feeling of friendship more than ever.

And now at cipher academy Knil may just have a shot at new friends and maybe a chance to find an old one.

Oh, slowly forgetting people that you love is so compelling dkdnwjfwbnw, I love Knil’s whole backstory leading to his biggest fear!! (Also, the way you draw the other Cipher kids is so cute! Absolutely in love with how you’ve illustrated Relic in the photo-)
