I recently had a pretty cool idea involving many new OCs and this time for a new world which is an island called Flos, which is an island from the same monster dimension as Cibus, Quisquiliae and Monstrum and this time, is an island that is inhabited by characters based on real life species of plants.
The residents of Flos:
Maverick Ipomoea-A 24-year-old tropical white morning glory who's the main character. He's very childish but he's still very friendly and understands. His favorite toy is a tiger plush. He's inspired by Q*bert and Mr. Bean. His surname is based on the scientific name for morning glories.
Sunny Helena Helianth-A 23-year-old sunflower who's Maverick's girlfriend. She loves sunny days, singing and helping others. Sunny is kind but she will be mad if people make her angry. Her surname is based on the scientific name for sunflowers.
Driton-A 24-year-old Albanian tulip (Tulipa albanica, a tulip species that is found in Albania) who's an intelligent and well-meaning guy. He's friends with Maverick. He helps Maverick escape problems and obstacles of any kind.
Liljana Lilium-A peaceful 23-year-old white lily who's a friend of Maverick. She loves relaxing places and meditation. She can be easily angered and annoyed when people disturb her. Her surname is based on the scientific name for lilies.
Hamlet-A 25-year-old Chrysobalanus icaco (also known as fat pork, is a plant found in tropical areas of the Caribbean, the Americas and Africa) who's a plant-themed anthropomorphic pig character. He's stutteting, kind and naive. He's okay with what Maverick does but he's worried about what trouble does Maverick cause.
Vance-A 21-year-old venus flytrap who's a big snacker. He's another friend of Maverick. He seems menacing and scary but he's actually friendly with others. His favorite food is flies.
Sheriff Preston-A 30-year-old prickly pear cactus who's the sheriff of his town.
Hilda Hibiscus-A 25-year-old hibiscus who's another friend of Maverick. She's a fashionista and someone who wants relaxation.
Cherrie-A 24-year-old cherry blossom who's one of Maverick's friends.
Viola-A pessimistic 22-year-old cry violet (an extinct plant species) who's another friend of Maverick. She's worried about many things in her life and she's scared of many bad scenarios. She also is scared of doing terrible things by accident as one time she was bullied for doing one thing for accident. Thankfully Maverick and his friends comforted her and befriended her, so anytime she feels down, she can tell them and they can solve the problem.
Glenn-A 55-year-old glossopteris (another extinct plant species from the Permian period) who's the local palaeontologist. So it's not only Paleofriends who has characters based on extinct animals. Now we have characters based on extinct plants as residents of Flos.
Bob-A 25-year-old baobab who's a very mean guy. He acts mean to everyone, even to people who try to be nice to him.
Frankie-A Franklin tree (another extinct plant species that was found in the US) who's Bob's friend. Like Bob, he's equally mean to everyone around him.
Now let's go with some of the bad guys:
Artemis-An 88-year-old sage (one of the most well-known dangerous plant species) who's one of Maverick's enemies. He's a wizard who attacks enemies with his magic spells. He's inspired by Hades from Hercules.
Scarlet-A 26-year-old firebush (a perennial shrub that lives in the Americas) who has fire magic. She's the ally of Artemis.
The ortensia hydra-An ortensia-themed creature that is shaped like a hydra. If its head is cut, more heads appear. It is an excellent fighter and also an excellent swimmer. This creature is based on the hydra from Disney's Hercules.
Sanchez-A saguaro (a cactus species that is found in Mexico and the US) who's a bandit. He uses both guns and also shoots his spikes.
Jimson Stramon Innoxia-A 49-year-old jimsonweed (also known as datura, devil's trumpet or moonflower, is a poisonous plant species with trumpet-shaped flowers that is either white or purple) who's actually half-demon. His family is also half-demons. He and his family are demons who try in many ways to conquer the world. He's able to spit thorn apples like projectiles, just like how a spike from the Super Mario games spits spike balls. Jimson also spits very dangerous poison like how a dragon spits fire. He has two datura leaves that serve as his demon wings. He doesn't like it when he gets confused with a morning glory, which coincidentally, like a jimsonweed, has the same common name, moonflower. He's also scared of insects, mostly moths. His surname Innoxia is based on the scientific name of a datura species called Datura innoxia. In fact, James is a datura innoxia. His father is a datura ceratocaula and his mother is a datura innoxia.
Brody Brugmanson-A 49-year-old yellow angel's trumpet (also known as brugmansia, is a relative of the datura that is equally poisonous as datura) who's Jimson's cousin. He's equally evil as Jimson but he's more gullible and easy to trick. He has two brugmansia leaves as his wings. Both he and Jimson are inspired by Angel and Devil from the Cuphead DLC.
Don-A 48-year-old deadly nightshade (another of the most well-known poisonous plant in the world) who's the best friend and ally of James and Brody. He uses thorn apples as shields and weapons. He also uses magic skills to attack. His appearance is gonna be inspired by the orbot from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Swampy-An alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides, an invasive plant species that originates from South America) that looks like an anthropomorphic alligator. His bite is as strong as that of a saltwater crocodile.
Hogger-A giant hogweed (a big plant species from the carrot family) that looks like an anthropomorphic warthog. He mostly attacks enemies by charging at them.
Cycadsaurus Rex-An aggressive cycad-based animal that is shaped like a theropod dinosaur. He's not only enemies with Maverick but also with other villains like Jimson, Brody and Artemis. Like those three, he's poisonous, as he's also based on a poisonous plant. He's inspired by the rex from Super Mario World.
So here they are. There's more of these to come out.
