Reblogs Welcome!

Just want to remind you all before I crash out entirely that Anthony Powell, visually, creatively, and in role is literally just a repurposed Mike Harding, the character I created, I wrote, I built this universe in a cave with a box of scraps with. Nugget has deleted the original post with Harding's design to cover her tracks about this but I want every person who engages with this post, this character, and this universe to know that it's a fucking fraud. I may not have been a very good friend to any of the people I wrote with but I don't deserve this, and I think the fact that they want to erase Harding from existence so they can replace him with a legally distinct version and pretend I never existed is fucking evil.

Questions About Creating Your OCs

‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

How did you choose their name? 

In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts? 

Is there any significance behind their hair color? 

Is there any significance behind their eye color? 

Is there any significance behind their height? 

What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 

Are they based off of you, in some way? 

If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person? 

Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation? 

What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 

How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all? 

If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? 

What is something about your OC can make you laugh? 

What is something about your OC can make you cry? 

Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story? 

What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC? 

What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Drew: Hate this job Colette: Come sit down next to me idiot Drew: I will sit next to you at any time Ms. Green Colette: Sit next to me right now. Drew: I am, I’m sitting next to you right now Colette: Now listen to me young man, I am talking directly into your ear now. I need you to do me a favor. You will do this for me. I need you to go to GameStop, and I need you to ask the bastard working the front counter if they have bambi on ps2. If you come back empty handed you’ll be in big trouble mister. You will never see the light of day.

Harding, staring out at the latest disaster area at Black Mesa: Well, at least this couldn't possibly get any worse. Stevens, appearing behind him with an already-lit Molotov Cocktail: You wanna fucking bet?

Chapter 3: "Disaster Response: Discretionary"

"Dispatch, this is Sergeant Banks! We're looking at a fucking disaster area in Sector B, and I've got men down! What the hell is going on?" "Banks, this is Dispatch! We read you loud and clear, but you're not the only one calling in! Whatever's happening is facility-wide, and we don't have the guys to deal with it! Some sort of failure in Sector C blew out all the equipment in the facility!" "That ain't the fucking problem! There's things running around killing people, and they don't look like no wild animals I've ever seen!" "Say again, Banks? What are you seeing?" "They're fucking Aliens, far as I'm concerned! Sure look the part- COVER THAT DOORWAY!" "Alien? Banks, what the hell are you seeing? Talk to me! BANKS!"

Sebastian Fletcher has never been anything close to normal in his life; the closest he's ever gotten has been working for the Black Mesa Research Facility, a job that most people wouldn't consider normal to begin with. But for Seb, it's the least stressed he's ever been in his life, and that's good enough. He has friends, a stable job, and for the first time ever, a chance at a decent life. Of course, it's not going to pan out that way; in fact, the goddamn world started ending about 6 hours ago, not that anyone noticed at the time. But Seb doesn't care. He has NEVER cared. He doesn't care about what exactly is happening, or what caused it, or how to stop it. He is not the One Free Man, he is not the Guiding Shephard, he's just Seb. And Seb just wants to live. That's not so bad, is it?

Turns out Vine Comp 2.22 just went from 30% done to 80% done thanks to @just-a-space-nugget . I cannot stress enough that Nugget did most of the work for this one, both in sourcing the videos and assigning the characters. Expect it in the coming days (and go follow them because they deserve the love)

(( The Mesaverse is a Half-Life AU that my friends and I created via Tumblr RP blogs. We have lore and everything we have just never shared. So here is a small window into the Mesaverse world focusing on two characters, Sebastian Fletcher and Johnathan Pierce, from our AU and how they both make it out of City 17 after the fall of the Citadel. This work was written by both me and my friend since Sebastian is their OC. I hope you enjoy! ))

Everything was chaotic. Buildings were being bombed left and right. Soldiers were flooding the streets shooting anyone and everyone no matter if you were a rebel or an innocent person caught in the middle. People were screaming and running for their lives. The uprising was never going to be easy, they knew this, but now that they were actually doing it.. it almost was too much to handle. The citadel was up in flames, a loud alarm blaring from the looming tower. Suddenly the entire building lit up with a bright blinding light followed by an explosion that left the ground trembling in its wake. Everyone across the city stopped for a moment and turned their attention to the alien building and watched as it all came tumbling down. (( If you would like to learn more about the Mesaverse visit @mesaverse-hq where you'll find all our character blogs and you can ask all of us questions regarding story and individual characters :) ))

The first ever coherent story for the Mesaverse!

Dr. Stevens, at a senior staff meeting: And I believe that about wraps up my proposal. Are there any suggestions? Objections? Harding: Dr. Stevens. What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent presentation were you even close to anything that can be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I object on moral grounds to this proposal; and may God have mercy on your soul. Dr. S: ...Ok. A simple 'No' would've done just fine, but uh-
