A perfect counter to the Ranger, an undying highwayman vs a regenerating ranger. Jack worked briefly for Horror show, but after a coup seemingly disappeared, no one's sure where he scamppered off to... but it seems his main boss has plans

No one knows his past and he doesn't intend on telling a consistant story more than twice, all that's known is he's an undead collector of souls. Wielding deadly scythes and his own spine, he wreeks havock and destruction in his neverending greed for power and souls.

Fitting for the month of October, for OC-Tober, its Highway Jack! A highwayman dullahan who kills for the thrill!

yes but the reason I say “native” is more how the way the script runs it basically just doesn’t need to you to open other apps like with bottles. Thats more what I was referring to. Apologies, admittedly still greenhorn to Linux so if my terminology gets screwy that’s on me

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Thank ya, ill check this out later, see if this was the culprit in why text wasn’t popping up at all. If I can get this run in I’d prefer it because it’s the closest to a proper native port without the use of wine bottles.

One more thing, there's more than one way to skin a chicken. This just worked best for me cause I had Bazzite and for whatever reason this simplified script version made by Eninabox didn't work and text was NEVER there, I just chalk up to linux distro for now www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhE...

You will however need SPECIFIC versions of CSP and Edge WebView2 apparently as for whatever reason those work best from what I found, this tutorial basically explains it better than I could. 3/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq_6...

Since what's going on is, you're creating a sort of sandbox/virtual machine as best a description i can give, to run the program. It still needs some things called "dependencies" (which is what those two programs are for for this) to make it operable. 2/3

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Wine Bottles Its basically an application that allows you to run windows programs HOWEVER, there's some weird caveats to make CSP work like needing Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Edge WebView2 as "dependencies". It sounds more complicated than it actually is though at the end of the day 1/3

Not able to go whole Penguins yet, Windows still has me by the balls for things like Tokon, and still kinda for CSP as I'm getting used to Linux set up Next thing I'm doing for the meanwhile is finding a good method of file transferring between drives, getting there though

Was pulling hairs out until 3am geting this done and only found the solution a bit ago but got CSP to work on Linux

Due to Dr Arachne making a deal and partnership with Styx, Barry was forced to work as an enforcer for the mad doc. Due to his mutations, his muscles are designed for strength and speed, making him a freight train on land and practically a scud missile in water.

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Once a deliquent from Melbourne who became a brute force for gangs across the country, Barry saught more physical power and was transformed by Dr. Arachne into becoming who he is now. To him, there's only the strong and the weak.

Contining on OC-Tober, this time it's Ben's rival in Unbreakable Iron Ranger, Barry! A barracuda-mutate from down under who wishes to prove he's the strongest!

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
He is the head of a facility called Horror Show, and creator a monstrous automaton he has dubbed the Ironworks to deal with and retrieve cryptids. Despite his genius he is an unstable mind, his desperation has only lead to more and more dangerous gambits to accomplish his goals.

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Today on OC-Tober it's the first major villain of UIR, Dr Styx! A man man that dosed himself on a substance called Nightmare Fuel, Dr. Styx is hellbent on transforming the world how he sees fit and collecting cryptids to do it!

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
He is basically gonna be a rival of sorts to Ruger. Think a Knuckles/Shadow to Ruger's Sonic. Despite his appearance and origins, Des seems to not be fully convicted to following Madame Del's goals other than to free his parents.
0204
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
The Wolf of New Orleans The Grunch Road Monster is a cryptid in Louisiana, New Orleans specifically. Descartes is basically a starting Rival for Ruger

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Today on OC-Tober is a character I've not had enter the comics yet but will at some point Descartes, a Grunch. One of a few hunters that Madame Del hired to help her find cryptids to control, Des is the offspring of the Grunches, seeking to free them from their imprisonment.

Last little tidbit She is russian. Was probably obvious but wanted to show her doing these so theres the excuse

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
A minor fun fact, at one point Paradox and Cherry were originally swapped in terms of personalities. Cherry originally being a rather weird vagabond and Paradox the more femme fatale character, ultimately I swapped it because I found those personalities fit the other better

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
All thats known about the curse is if she acrues enough damage, a new personaltiy forms, one that is filled with violent tendancies. It may very well be her babushka cursed her with the spirit of the yaga, or her mind and body may eventually become one itself...
1243
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
A vagabond that traveled the country for some time, Tanya is a hard boiled woman, although its thanks to her powers shes forced to be a rambling woman. Her babushka was a witch who placed the curse of the Baba Yaga on her, a curse that hasn't fully revealed its true power.
1285
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Today for OC-Tober we have Cherry! A witch with explosive powers, any damage inflicted on her she converts into a volitile and explosive energy. In other works, a walking bomb that only gets stronger the more you fight her.

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Continuing on but some characters I've made end up sharing similar inspirations and kind of, dividing traits into different characters, such as Ben and Ruger sharing Edward Elric and actor Brendan Fraser in different roles
1278
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Continuing on with Character Design inspirations heres the boards for Paradox, Frankie and Ruger's human and garou forms

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
His Rougarou form is an oddity, but it is tied to the state of one's soul. Despite Ruger's own insecurities and pain, his soul burns bright and manifests as a rather goofy lookin' wolf you'd see in classic cartoons.
0275
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
For a long time in his life, Ruger was in a rather depressive state, and at the beginning of TWONO was trying to get his life together, until a rogue rougarou came and upheaved his life he was just getting sorted Now he bares the same curse, except, not nearly as scary looking

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
For today on OC-Tober its the titular Wolf of New Orleans, Ruger! A young cajun cursed into becoming a magical werewolf with a cartoonish guise.

One day she was out trying to steal from Dr Styx, plans for a teleportation device. She fell into it after being attacked by a mutant bob cat Styx made, and was turned into a teleporting cat girl. For a time, she served as Horror Show's errand gal, before joining Ben's group

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Today for OC-Tober stuff, we have our little gremlin cat, Paradox! A former cat burglar mutant catgirl with teleportation powers after being attacked by a guard bobcat and stumbling into a teleportation device. Thank God it wasn't a fly.

Y'all probably already know this from Monster and Bride but she and Ben are a couple. Ben met her by chance after dealing with a mutant in her neck of the woods. Ever since then its bloomed into a strong relationship.

Frankie lives out in Woodall Mountain, there she lives a quiet life working on cars. Though she's a prim and proper lady, don't mistake her kindess for meakness. If she wants to she could easily throw one of those cars right at you like it was a stuffed animal! So be respectful!

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Today on OC-Tober, its Frankie! A composite gal with a knack for cars and machines

For the characters I've shown off so far, here's some of the design inspirations for them. Toma and Jeff were pretty simple and easy but more influences and design ideas were used for Ben and Haze

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
In his past he was transformed by a vampire by the name of Countess Erica, only to escape thanks to his mentor Henry Law. He ends up joining Ben on his adventures after Ben encountered him in a casino ran by a crime family of Yokai called the Bad Moon Yakuza
1273
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Next up for my little OC-Tober thing is Haze! The Smokescreen Ronin, and bud of Ben and Toma, he has the ability to produce and control various forms of mists with various properties, a "Mister" as the term is called. He also wields an enlongating katana called Domino Blues

Oh yeah I getcha. I was working with a gaming laptop from 2013 that I got in 2016 that lasted me 9 years, it had a 750m nvidia gpu so that was fun lol. Thank god CSP didn’t rely on that in the long run.

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
nah mispoke its ram not cpu I'm still on the older version of CSP, its the 1.12.11 cause i rather not have it be conneected online all the time This aint an end of the world issue its literally a 300 mb difference
110
Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
also just realizing i mispoke ram instead of CPU my bad

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Not the end of the world (especially cause my machine is 48gigs Ram) but it is an odd thing for certain

Deputy Rust @deputyrust.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
MB lemme fix that. Clip Studio paint is surprisingly the less CPU intensive of the two
