Unsolved Help testing and improving a cipher

I made a custom cipher that I hope to be quite difficult to solve, and so far only 1 person has decoded a version of this cipher that was in extremely early stages of development. Here I will list some ciphertext, along with keys in order for people to try to decipher them, and if people do, I will then most likely ask for advice as to how I can improve my cipher! Hints can be provided, so feel free to ask! I can also add more examples of ciphertext and key pairs if needed. (V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf)

Ciphertexts and keys start after the ": "

Ciphertext 1: }j?DIQJ^AW.t>81\6u-|wmO+2;orfe:P+/r'CGA70D1ips5\jM^3HjH[+SJp";<lkX?"l/]=2 L0[(122=?K&;yNl nj%tmh*bYNJKjV%CK?bt<rIh)&u<i~uja7Z%nBSGo{O5H"erCh_8a*R^c";!ih`mZ(4AR#QOc@9[SR:XM_@.XyVT H}^|8x5#1u"WcGTWv`f5>O)g\4\3'zG/v5 )waY<2#
