~ Cecelia ~
Fandom (or og story): Scarlet Hollow!
Full name: Cecelia Isobel Scarlet (Fun fact: I almost named her "Caecilia" because it looks and sounds more pretentious old money, but I didn't think it fit with what we know of Vivian as a person, so I went with something that still sounded a bit old-fashioned without being too much. Her middle name was mostly chosen because "Cecelia Isobel" is phonetically pleasant to say out loud.)
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Age: Hmmm, let's say 24
Species: Human
Race/ethnicity/class: White American. Her father may have been from another place, but it's not like she ever knew him anyway, so yeah
Describe them physically: (Physical descriptions, my old nemesis. Oh boy) Quite small young woman, we're talking 150cm over here, petite curvy in that way that makes people look a bit more above weight than they truly are. Has oculocutaneous albinism, specifically OCA 2, so she's paler than your average (?) white person. Hair is quite wavy (think of wet cup noodles), medium-to-long length and platinum blonde. Very pale grey eyes, often squints a little even with glasses, so normal expression can easily come up as always bothered by something. Face is round with soft, dolly-like features, which often makes people think she's younger and a bit unsettling to look at; not considered pretty by most.
Describe how they dress: Outside, Cecelia dresses a bit severely, almost conservatively; she favors dark, sombre colors, with maybe some pastel piece, like a cardigan. Always covers the most skin she can because she's very afraid of skin cancer. Has vision problems due to albinism, so she's almost always wearing special tinted glasses (has contact lenses too for special occasions where wearing the glasses is obnoxious/risky). Dresses way more casual when she's alone and outside the sun. Usually sleeps in a luna moth-colored babydoll that she bought on sale because she thought it was the cutest thing (she was actually wearing this one when Wayne kidnapped her to the Forbidden Wings, she's more appalled with him staining it with his gross ass hands than with the kidnapping).
Favorite things: Books, libraries, horror podcasts, pastries and sweets, quiet and shaded places, instrumental music, Wayne
Least favorite things: Insistent people that push her boundaries, the Mystical trait, Classicists, her fucking cousin that wants her in a cell, the fact she can't reach high shelves without a stool. Tea recently added to the list
Hobbies: Reading, singing (only if no one's around), embroidery (it's boring, so it helps her calm down)
Quirks: She scratches her arm behind her back to regain her composure, unfortunately led to self-harming after Vivian's death, so she's trying to stop
What's up in the romance department (and if they're aro, are they in a queerplatonic relationship): Wayne is certainly going up in the romance department! Cecelia is starting to feel very strongly for Wayne and she knows it's not platonic, but also "romantic" doesn't necessarily feel appropriate? It will have to do until she has a better term. There's almost an academic curiosity from her part to see where this is going and what she can find out in this. Wayne is actually Cecelia's first try at a deeper relationship, she usually doesn't take romance very seriously and sees sex as "something you do when the body feels itchy".
Thanks for the tag! Haven’t talked about my ocs in a minute… I’ll go with Sal for this as they’re my first oc.
~ Sal Scarlet ~
Fandom (or OG story?): Scarlet hollow
Full name: Sal Scarlet (haven’t given them a middle name 🤔 maybe I should consider one) - fun fact, they’re pretty heavily inspired by Sal Fisher from Sally Face, kept the name as a reference and because I like it a lot.
Gender: non-binary
Pronouns: they/them (though I don’t think they’d necessarily mind the occasional he/she along with they/them if it’s from a friend)
Age: 24/25
Species: human
Race/ethnicity/class: white American
Describe them physically: when I came up with the concept of Sal I kind of wanted them to evoke the image of a ghost in a sense, someone who felt like if you didn’t keep ahold of them they’d drift away - they’re very pale with notable eyebags with some freckles on their face (and arms and back) with a more gaunt/lean figure (i don’t particularly think they eat much nor eat that heathy) and are slightly slouched, they don’t stand out much except for their red hair which is quite long (reaches around their back?). They don’t particularly put much thought into their appearance, letting their hair run loose or occasionally putting it in these low pig tails, their hair while pretty if you look up close isn’t that healthy and full of split ends and clearly unbrushed.
Describe how they dress: Sal favours darker colours such as black, blue and purple. They favour clothes that are more tight/cover their body more such as jeans/thermal leggings (or normal leggings generally), long sleeved shirts, turtlenecks, jumpers though lots of their clothes are often slightly frayed or have holes in them from constant usages/cheaper materials. For pajamas I can imagine Sal wearing more loose pajamas trousers and a shirt (can picture it well forgot the specific name).
Favourite things: Sal is at heart a storyteller, I think for their traits of booksmart and mystical too it’s one of the things that their natures don’t contradict each other on and in fact compliment each other well on. Sal loves reading (had them be an English lit student working on their first novel) and enjoys watching any sort of show or film (before the Holler they’d sometimes head to cheap cinemas and watch a random film that was on for the day). They also like podcasts and especially concept albums. Also I decided their favourite food would be a bagel with melted cheese, mayonnaise and pickle slices because I found it funny.
Least favourite things: They’re not a fan of not being taken seriously, both when it comes to some knowledge they want to share (booksmart) or their mystical insights especially. I also think despite being somewhat quiet at first they do tend to favour a more leadership like role so if people want to control them that can cause friction (when they realise Sybil brainwashed them with the tea, their dynamic with Tabitha which alternates between moments of bonding and then butting heads, some mixed feelings over Reese ignoring their wishes in 5) - not being listened to mainly. Though after the events of 4/5 which were pretty traumatising to them they have become more meek (for example Reese forcefully kissed them but I don’t think I’ll have Sal confront him over it as they don’t want to acknowledge it).
Hobbies: They often find themselves going down a rabbit hole of studying/researching a random topic which they enjoy a lot. Generally they love writing and reading.
quirks: They have a habit of slouching generally. I also imagine they tend to have a slightly unintentionally intense stare, often keeping focus intently on someone’s face (with their mystical element making this overly long focused stare have a strange potentially off putting feel to it to someone who isn’t fond of them). They also blush easily.
What's up in the romance department (and if they're aro, are they in a queerplatonic relationship): They’re in a relationship with Reese - they both were drawn to each other in a ‘birds of a feather’ sense, being creatives with a supernatural side who bonded quickly when chatting and exploring the clinic (really liked the watching the film scene between the two). Sal wanted Reese to be free and such but did grow conflicted when talking with Joan (and the reality of what was going to happen hitting them and also some similarities between Joan and Vivian - less extreme than Joan was ofc) so after her death while they’re happy Reese is free and don’t regret that they are disturbed by the murder and feel guilty over her death (in Sal’s mind they want to share ‘the burden of being a killer’ with Reese and if he’s considered guilty so are they), they’re happy with one another as someone who understands and would protect the other but they are becoming increasingly codependent (in particular with Sal’s guilt complex developing and own lack of care for themself and Reese’s ‘us vs them’ mentality and more willing violence in particular to protect Sal over others - find the contrast between a character who feels they may not deserve to live and one who’d do anything to keep them safe fun) - Sal wanted to find Reese after he was shot by Tabitha and told him to run off to save himself to Reese’s distress (found that scene pretty sad tbh hope he’s okay), they hope to reunite with him so they can get a “happy ending” in their mind (something after the climax of 5 they’re desperate clinging onto generally to cope with the increasing stress of the Holler) - I’ve enjoyed their relationship a lot and am curious how it’ll develop. Reese isn’t Sal’s first relationship (whereas they are for him) but they haven’t dated a lot or in years (mainly having hookups and such infrequently).

I've got a few, but I'll go for one of my favorite (and really the one to get me into making OCs) fellas.
~ Richard Scarlet ~
Fandom (or OG story): Scarlet Hollow
Full name: Richard North Scarlet (Fun fact, his middle name was initially going to be Nixon before I decided that that was incredibly stupid)
Gender: Male (specifically transmasc)
Pronouns: He/him
Age: 27
Species: Human
Race/ethnicity/class: White American
Describe them physically: When I initially came up with Richard, I designed him to mirror Tabitha a fair amount, and this includes his design. He's about 5'6" (which also happens to be the shortest out of him and his trio of friends), he's incredibly pale, and he has very deep eye bags. He has straight, light blonde hair that just barely reaches a bit down his neck (though it varies a bit). He has blue eyes with a face that is almost always in some kind of vaguely annoyed expression.
Describe how they dress: Richard has a very simple wardrobe. Dark-colored clothing, such as turtlenecks, polo shirts, and sports merchandise, pants, and a black trench coat. He'll sometimes deviate and wear a purple scarf as a memento to one of his dead best friends, but besides that, he won't change things up much. He'll also exclusively wear long-sleeved clothing year-round in an attempt to cover up as much skin as possible. If he had to be formal, he'd put on a suit and tie, throw on a trench coat over top it, and call it a day.
Favorite things: Despite his gruff, dickish exterior, Richard loves more than anything his best friends. The death of one (out of two) gives him such a thorough mental shock that by the time canon starts, he's only just getting better. Besides that, Richard is also a massive history buff, spending a good amount of his free time watching historical films or reading up on a historical figure.
Least favorite things: There are a few things he hates. First is people that betray him. It is almost impossible to get back into his good graces when that happens. The second are the mystical visions he has to deal with, an extension of having the mystical trait. Having to deal with death visions for his entire life (especially when one of them has to deal with one of your best friends) does quite a number on you. The third, and most important, is himself. He has a lot of self-loathing and gender dysphoria, and it makes itself known to him quite a bit in the form of his Reflection, which takes on the appearance (and deadname) of Richard pre-transition. All of this combines to make a thoroughly bitter and cynical mess who hates himself and can't trust anyone if he tried.
Hobbies: Richard dabbles a bit in reading (historical or otherwise) when he's got the chance.
Quirks: He has a habit of either crossing his arms like Tabitha does or shoving his hands into the pockets of his trench coat. He also has a habit of staring at someone that isn't there (his Reflection) when he's alone and engaging in full on conversation with it.
What's up in the romance department (and if they're aro, are they in a queerplatonic relationship): Richard is aroace and has been for years. The idea of being in a romantic or sexual relationship is, to him, completely unthinkable. He also isn't in any queerplatonic relationships, instead just being incredibly close with his best friend. This is in-part why he's a Tabbymaxxer, as he doesn't really feel any kind of pull to any of the other denizens in town - they either all just exist, he loathes them with a passion, or he just considers them friends.
Until episode 5, he's quite close to Tabitha - and even after he finds out about the cell, he's willing to help her burn the Scarlet legacy to the ground and then never contact each other again (though things likely become much more complicated post-canon).
For one final entry, I leave this art of Richard drawn by @illetox (get double mentioned /j):
furthest we've ever been
i dont know how people handle the world without looking at pictures of little tiny mice sitting on wheat
powerful…
In one of my film classes last semester we had to tell a story in 3 pictures for a mini assignment so my friend and I did this
Happy 10 year anniversary to this post!
“-no other home.”
It's commonly accepted in this fandom that humans have extremely fragile bodies in comparison to Eridians, but I think that's actually an oversimplification.
Because while Eridians are incredibly strong and tough on the outside, on the inside they are actually quite fragile:
They have no immune system, so anything that makes it past their enclosed carapace and internal heating will pretty much kill them
They have no natural defenses to radiation of any kind
In general they have very little organic matter so anything that targets their cells directly is quickly lethal
They are partially cold-blooded and live at a very narrow temperature range (about 20 degrees C)
They rely almost entirely on one, highly developed sense and are helpless if deafened (can't even remember the layout of a room)
They are completely helpless while asleep and can't control when that happens
They will forcibly become dormant after eating AND when badly hurt enough (their equivalent of going into shock)
They require more energy to function than humans do, and have very little organic matter to burn in the case of starvation
In contrast, humans:
Have an aggressive immune system and internal mechanisms for dealing with cell damage
Have adrenaline which allows them to temporarily ignore injuries and perform abnormal feats of strength
Are persistence hunters built for economy of movement and capable of extreme levels of endurance
Exist in a very wide range of habitats and on a diverse diet
Are very hardy in general, able to survive massive injuries, lack of sleep, prolonged starvation, and intense environmental conditions if given proper care
The quintessential example of this dichotomy between strength and endurance is the Going Fishing incident in the book: Rocky is able to survive and move in G forces that are killing Grace and to physically wrestle off the chair crushing him, but he collapses from his injuries almost immediately after. Despite being injured himself Grace then carries his 400lb friend up a ladder, is badly burned returning him to his atmosphere, and then proceeds to get some basic medical care, hype himself up on pain meds and keep working (albeit rather badly, lol) while Rocky forcibly sleeps.
The TL:DR is that Eridians are harder to damage, but easier to kill. They're like an rpg character with high armor and low health. I think Rocky would consider Grace to be very delicate at first, only to be blown away by how deceptively tough his friend can be.
my ice-cold take is that scully obviously gets more jealous than mulder but he was jealous of both queequeg and God which is kind of a crazy combination
steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower
