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!!

Maria's choice(speedpaint! - https://youtu.be/1PMiaO3qjFM )

It was a tough choice indeed

I'm way too tired now, but I'll try to describe Maria's thought process...

Basically uhm... I think she does respect authority, and she's happy to be in Cipher, but... Student Council is also an authority for her... And... She doesn't believe CA would harm students... BUT she also doesn't have reasons to NOT trust Raz?? BUT she also doesn't feel like Miriam is BAD?? Maria feels like they both... Have something to hide and they're obviously not showing it

But if not for Ania (her student buddy)... I mean she'd PROBABLY still chose Miriam's side, but Ania's influence is high here
She's scared... But she wants everyone to be safe, and maybe with Miriam being close to the Association (?), everyone could learn the truth...

"Maybe that's the right choice at this point in the universe..."

She's not happy now, but she would've been even unhappier without making a choice

Maybe the drawing is too dramatic, but I imagine it was her initial reaction

(she'll probalby BEG Raz for forgivness after this lmao)
