Cipher Academy - Let's talk about fears 👻

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. If you'd like to join our community check my "My Challenges" collection and enter the original Cipher challenge first 🙇‍♀️🍀🌺🌈⭐

The sea is a scary thingSo I wanna introduce another CA character very badly but before doing so, I felt like being responsible and actually working on some other CA challenge to make sure my characters are actually used (and the effort put into creating the challenges doesn't go to waste).

For that, I chose my boy Deuce having to be my victim for the CA fears challenge!!!

I had a lot of stuff in mind for Deuce, lots of it being related to his past, but those were all too vague, nothing to put the finger onto to give it an actual name, weirdly specific fears not fitting what the challenge wanted-
That was until I remembered the discomfort with the sea I had cursed Deuce with.

I don't even know why I had originally done that. It was merely a decision that just felt right. However, I proceeded to think about it and things ended up making perfect sense-

As much of a rebellious hothead as Deuce is, he does love to know facts to think about possible things his ability could cause when he uses it (and how to use it to his advantage).
Most things can be calculated one way or another-
Not the unknown tho.

He hates and fears the unknown depth of the sea (but also kind of fears what actually IS known about the sea. There are hella terrifying creatures in there he doesn't wanna summon by accident.
At this point, shoutout to @diasgith who educated me about creepy fish and ensured that I'll never step into the ocean myself).
He can't calculate what the sea can do.
There are too many options already, yet there remain possibilities unknown to mankind!
Possibilities he couldn't consider in his actions!

Deuce often is an idiot. Yes. He bets to win half a hotdog while risking to loose his soul...50/50 chance.
He gladly does that for the thrill.

The ocean, however, is too much of a risky thing and he doesn't want to endanger others through possibilities he couldn't take into consideration this far.

I mean,,,, we literally known more about space than mankind knows about the damn ocean.


He likes to keep his distance from larger bodies of water. (Seriously, he'd never actually go for a swim in the sea)
Having to act in an emergency case around such a place would bring him closer to panic than anything else could.
He'd probably even just deny helping someone if it'd mean for his ability to be used around the sea.

So yeah, that's that-
We'll meet again soon if things work as planned because damn do I have many ideas

(The other character in the comic is Meylo by @n3x btw!
They're lovely uvu)

Omg me and Deuce have the same fear! Except I live in a place near the ocean and go there often so it's very scary
I love this so much!
