I don't know very much about your OCs yet, so I am interested in all three who you tagged. I want to ask: 5, 6, 14, and 19. Thanks
5) Is there any significance behind their hair color?
For Casain not really, it’s more of a racial thing since he’s a dunmer.
As for Eo it’s because of the type of creature he is and his elemental constitution, being a creature of darkness and shadows.
As for Abazis, the white streak in his hair is a result from a void blast natured injury he sustained long ago.
6) Is there any significance behind their eye color?
Cas’s eyes are bright red, almost like fire. Other than giving him an intense stare there’s not much else to it. Same thing for Abazis’ icy blue ones, though it also serves as indication to his closer connection to magic.
As For Eo, it’s another sign of his elemental constitution, having a slight amount lightning and ice along with his shadows.
14) 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?
I’m not sure in what context this is supposed to be so i’m going to go with the creators point of view.
I focus mostly on a characters personality and life experiences as these inform their behaviour and beliefs, and so how they end up being portrayed. The type of race/creature they are also plays a big part.
For example, while Eorohan has a humanoid form, he is farm from it, and his needs and instincts as a creature from another realm need to play a part in his actions.
The other part I pay attention to is the world they are from as that will impose limits on who or what they are and can do.
As an example, Abazis is an extremely powerful mage in his own field but this takes a huge toll on his body, and so his growth has been stunted and he’s skinny. Why?? Because in his world, ‘magic’ or energy and auras, can be channelled from the environment, but also from within living creatures and from within ones self. But these sources are finite, and need time to recharge. The very nature of his own magic, and the extent to which he uses it and how, takes this concept to the extreme.
19) What is your favorite fact about your OC?
It’s really difficult for me to come up with ultimate favourite so just going to say something I like about them.
Casain: Even though Cas works for Sanguine, He doesn’t sleep around as one would expect, but would rather create a bond with someone first. (not that it’ll stop him from having a good lay from time to time)
Abazis: Despite the fact he comes across as a total arse hole and has murderous tendencies, he has a soft spot for kids.
He will also ALWAYS keep his promises, be they good or bad.
Eorohan: Even though he’s the equivalent of a demon or a monster, he’s actually quite human in terms of personality. Also his bound brothers/familiars are Ravens so there’s that too.
I hope that answers the questions adequately. If anyone wants to send me anymore, check out this post here and the characters listed In the tags!
