Have some more Cat! (Yes I already used this picture in an ask, yes I am going to continue to use it until I've run this save more and gotten more screenshots of My Sweet Baby Girl.)

She's actually slightly taller than even the orc build allows for. Assuming that the tall bodies (orcs, dragonborn, Body Type 2) are like 6'-6'5"ish, Cat's 6'8. She's also not nearly so... dried-out-looking. More weightlifter beefy than dehydrated bodybuilder. And while she's usually rocking a mohawk or and undercut, she's got curly hair. Thankfully with the magic mirror update, she'll at least be able to do her usual "actually I wanna do this color now" thing of matching her hair to her lipstick, although there's still not quite a strong enough eye makeup that's basically just "grabbed a handful of ashes from the cold campfire and rubbed her eyes like she just woke up." She's also a lot more heavily scarred than the character creator allows for, and her nose looks like it's been broken more than once. (For good reason, she snores like you wouldn't believe because of it.) And as mentioned in another ask, she's trans. Slightly broader shoulders, slightly narrower hips, more body hair than the fem frame allows for, but less than the masc one, although that's more of a Let More Women In Fantasy Settings Have Body hair thing than anything else. And nothing resembling bottom surgery. (Also mentioned in a previous ask, her folks are very talented alchemists, these things are not unrelated.)

9) Do you have a favorite member of the Tiefling Refugees? Is it the same as your Character's?

My own personal favorites are Rolan, Cal, and Lia, with Rolan pulling slightly ahead after what I've seen in the later acts. Zevlor's also a strong contender now.

Cat doesn't have a favorite, really. She's got a lot of love to give and very stubbornly sees the best in everyone. Hold her at knifepoint for a solid answer, and after a lot of "um"ing, she'd prooooobably say Alfira.

31) Does your Character have new or old phobias or superstitions that affect their story?

I hadn't realized I got this one in two different asks.

You KNOW i'm here to ask about Cat 📝👀 🥵🧠👀👂😍💘🦴💞🔥💐

You've really got the brainrot, huh? Honestly, same.

Anyways! Let's get these answered, under a cut cause it's gonna be beefy. And if anyone wants to ask more, here's the questions!

🥵 : Is your OC perceived as physically attractive to others? Is it at first glance or is it something that takes more time to reach fruition? It's kinda 50/50. She's 6'8, roughly 300 lbs of muscle, scar tissue, and friendliness. Not everyone's into big and there's plenty of folks who are happy to make that her problem I'm not projecting, but for the folks who do like that sort of thing, she's a dream come true. Isn't she, hon? 😏

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute? Her openness, I'd say. Very free with compliments, happy to chat with a stranger about whatever, naturally kind and friendly, quick to offer her help and her trust, etc. She wears her heart on her sleeve regardless of how many times it gets torn off and stomped into the dirt and just radiates Friend Energy.

👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage? That's... a complicated question. She's personally very happy with her body, likes how it looks and what she's capable of, is happy with her vibrant, meticulously matched hair and lipstick and haphazardly smudged-on eyeshadow, but given her experiences with other people and choices she made with her transition, she doesn't believe she's particularly attractive to anyone else. And no, partly because you can't use what you don't know you have, and partly because she's not inclined to take advantage of anything really.

👂 : Does your OC have an attractive voice? I don't know how to describe it, but short answer, I'd definitely say so. In my head she sounds like Natasha Lyonne. Between that and her main real life reference being Natasha Aughey, she's got a lot of Natashas in her influence.

😍 : What does your OC find irresistible in others? Kindness. Not necessarily on the level she gives, and not necessarily niceness. In fact, she's a sucker for someone who's kind, but also a massive bitch about it. Someone who can draw a line and enforce a boundary better than she can. The ability to see past what she does, to why she does it? If they understand she's what she is by choice and that nice doesn't always equal happy, on top of being right there next to her to help someone who needs it but also more than willing to get catty at the ones who are dicks about it, she's probably already smitten. Also, strong legs and pretty eyes.

💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming? A good flirt? Not fuckin' remotely, at least not on purpose. She's definitely charming though, especially when she's not thinking about it. Very free and easy with affection and touch; hugs, holding hands, casual arm around a shoulder, sat next to someone and leaning on them while they're each doing they're own thing, etc. Good listener even if she has no idea what people are talking about, friendly and honest, always willing to help and forgive, etc. She's had a fair few secret admirers (in part only secret because she's dense as hell) because of it.

🦴 : Does your OC have much sexual experience? What are they like? Not remotely. She's kissed a few people, sure, but not many. Had a serious relationship with a girl back home that... didn't end well. They got to the clothes-finally-coming-off part of things and she kinda flipped out at Cat being trans and not telling her (because Cat didn't really realize the specifics of what was in her underwear was gonna be such a big deal). Then-girlfriend said a lot of not-so-kind things all at once and then never said anything to her again after storming off. She hasn't really trusted anyone to get that close since. As for what she'd be like, after getting over the initial nerves and getting some experience under her belt (heh), she's enthusiastic. Swings between fast and eager enough to forget her own considerable strength, or slow and careful, bordering on full on worship like she's trying to memorize her partner. And if someone else wants to take the lead and give orders, she's more than happy to benefit from their experience.

💞 : Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight? It's not full-on "Only With The One" levels of serious, but there's definitely some weight there. Again, given her experiences, her lack of experience, and her, uh, choice of equipment when she had her magic-fueled transition, there has to be at least some level of genuine trust there. It doesn't have to be True Love or whatever, but it's gotta mean something, even if it's just "hey, you're my friend who's had my back in all these other things, I know you won't hurt me here either."

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered? What isn't??? If it's overt enough to get through to her that someone isn't Just Being Nice, she's gonna turn pink and forget half the words she knows. She's not used to any kind of romantic gestures; whether it's gifts, dates, or just being made to feel pretty, she's hopeless. And again, anyone who bothers to look past the smiles and apparent naivete to see the sheer amount of work she puts into choosing to be kind, that heart is no longer being worn on her sleeve, it is in their pocket now and let's hope they take care of it.

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone? She's not really one to do the pursuing, partly because by the time she's noticed that someone's interested, it's because they beat her over the head with it. If she likes someone enough to get over the crippling depression and self worth issues Make A Move, it's very nervous, kinda overthinking, Sticking To The Basics. Flowers, gifts, maybe ask them to dinner, all in that awkward, endearingly clumsy way she does anything she thinks too hard about. Might miss the mark trying to Stick To The Rules of courting rather than actually remembering what the person likes, and may have to be reminded to relax a few times, but her heart's in the right place and she's doing her best.

Hello, dear! You've been visited by the random character question fairy! :D ~☆

What does your character want people to know about themselves? What do they hide from other people? Why?

Taking another spin on the OC Wheel and we got Cat Noble! She’s one of my universe jumpers, so I’m just arbitrarily gonna pick the DnDQ game she’s in.

She wants people to know that they can rely on her, even if she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, she’s loyal and will always stick up for her friends. She’s a fighter, and even if her time in the arena wasn’t always the best, fighting and being a gladiator is what she’s good at and happy doing. Usually.

Cat hides (kind of, really more just doesn’t bring it up and skims over it when it does come up) the specifics of what she considers The Bad Fights when she was the arena champion in Barrenack. Championship fights were to the death and it took her enough time to get to champion, she was friends with pretty much everyone who challenged her. Murdering your friends to make sure the guy in charge of the city didn’t just unleash his monster menagerie on civilians for his entertainment is a tough corner to be backed into. Sure, they had resurrection magic on hand to bring folks back and it even worked on most of them, but you can’t un-ring a bell. It’s a part of her life she doesn’t like to dwell on, especially now that the bastard responsible is dead. The chapter’s closed, everything’s fine, and she’s determined to ignore it as hard as she can.

[mypunkpansexualtwin]

For Cat: What's your favorite instrument to listen to? Do you prefer upbeat songs, slow and relaxing... or even dirges?

Whassa dirge? Wait, isn’t that funeral music? Uh, no thanks, I’m not... No reminders of funerals, please.

I don’t think I have a favorite instrument to listen to, and even if I did, I probably wouldn’t know the name. There’s a lot of ways to make music, yanno? I do like sea shanties, though. Sure, most of them are super dirty, but that’s half the fun!

[mypunkpansexualtwin]

For Cat: What did you love most about the place you grew up? What about it did you love the least?

Most? The woods around Revelation are beautiful. Really calm, quiet place to go and... get away from people, thoughts, that sort of thing. The Great Library is like that, too. 

...Maybe those things are related? I dunno. But I liked the places I could go and calm down from...

Well, from my least favorite thing about it. I’m... Not super smart. My gut has some decent instincts, but I’m not the kind of person you usually see in a city called Revelation. With that great, big, magic library and the university that cropped up underneath it to study all those old books, my hometown is a hotspot for super-geniuses. And a super-genius I am not. My classmates liked to remind me of that a lot. A bunch of the adults did it too, but it wasn’t to be mean, they probably actually thought they were being really nice, telling me what was wrong with me and how I needed to fix it. I think that was worse, actually. Especially since most of it came from my folks. They tried real hard to steer me away from fighting, even though it’s the only thing I’ve ever been any good at.

I’m... not looking forward to going back. I’d almost take a second round with the Baron over this.

[mypunkpansexualtwin]

For Cat: What was the worst sunburn you've ever had?

Uhhh, you ever hear of radiant mephits? I had to fight some in the arena about a year back, and afterwards one of the more magic leaning gladiators explained what the hell they even were; planar beings that live where the plane of fire and the plane of... uhh, positive energy? Or something? Overlap? Anyways, apparently that whole plane is supposed to be like living on the sun.

And so is the magic of all the beasties that live there. That part I can confirm firsthand. One of them cast color spray on me and it felt like a full day at the beach with no sunscreen, just crunched down into a five second spell. Goddess’ tits, that hurt. But the worst part. The worst part?

The worst part was the uneven tan I had for like 6 months afterwards. The healers fixed me up just fine, but I looked so stupid for like half a year. Man, Junie would have laughed to see it. Actually, I’m kinda glad she didn’t, I looked so dumb.

[mypunkpansexualtwin]

So I made my oc, Cat Noble as a Dragon Quest character. Unfortunately since drawing has more steps than ADHD brain wants to slog through at the moment, I ended up using the character creation from Soul Calibur 6 since that game is appropriately anime and will give me the Beefiness that Cat requires.

This is a long way of saying...

Help.
