Three Characters - Amon
Rules: Post three gifs of fictional characters relevant to your OC!
Totally OOC
I was tagged by both @bhaldstyr-ahtahrmsyn and @mysteriouswhiterose to do this one. I really, really struggled to follow the rules, but in the end, I couldn’t do it. Instead, you get nerdy writer talk. (Forgive me!)

Okay, this is not a cop-out. Hear me out on this!
I just couldn’t find fictional or pop-culture characters that fit. Amon is his own fictional character, so (to me) he’s relevant to himself. He’s still such a new character to me that I don’t quite feel the ownership of him as an author to be able to draw these kinds of connections yet.
If anything, fragments of Amon’s character remind me of bits and pieces of my own original characters, some of which I’ve been writing and RPing for nearly 30 years (I just dated myself there :p). In trying to describe Amon’s foundation to my long-time creative partner, I actually did it in terms of, “He’s kinda like a blend of -originalcharacter1- and -originalcharacter2-.”
Anyone who’s known me for a while, and has followed my other works (I’m looking at you @almonihahzrathanzon) can attest that this is a character archetype I gravitate towards writing. While Amon is quite different from my other OCs, I can’t deny the inspiration from a lot of my own characters are mixed in there.
For me, it’s kinda like putting a new twist on familiar OCs. I’m new to exploring him as a personality, and I never quite know what response he’ll get from other people. Still, it helps quite a bit to have that foundation of that quirky-anti-hero-trying-to-hide-his-past-behind-a-smile-but-could-actually-be-a-pretty-good-guy-if-he-got-over-himself thing.
If you’ve read this far down, have a Honey Muffin... and a question! I’m going to break the meme by asking a question of my own! Yay for Anarchy!
Do you also find yourself gravitating towards a specific type of character over and over in your writing and RP? If so, what type is that, and why do they resonate with you?
Tagging: Anyone who read this far down and wants to think about it.
