A continuation of the answers Iām doing for Chelleās ask. Hereās some original OC stuff XD (redundant, i know)
1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?
Tardy was supposed to be a klutz from looks to personality but a college lecture got me thinking of playing around with her. After a lot of SCAMPER sheās still a klutz, but she A T T A C
3: Has your OC gone through different incarnations during their stay on Tumblr? Were they reimagined or have they stayed the same all this time?
OH BOY, ALL THE CHARACTERS IN RISKY HIGH ARE A CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS so far theyāre looking good but I might change some here and there to suit the story. With Tardy, her backstory became longer, her looks became thinner, and her personality became tougher to write. Her weapon changed too, the only thing that I kept from the first stage was her name.
4: How do you get into your OCās mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them?
Sheās a little like me and a little like this dude I knew. I try to think as pacifistic as I can, which is tough because sheās in the middle of a war. Will she give in to violence like she did back then? Will she hold true? All my Risky High babies are a challenge to write, but I wanna take the challenge on!~
11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? Whatās their favourite place?
The only place and time she finds peace in are the moments between a campfire night and the next attacks.Ā
16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
Because of past events, she has this strong sense of pacifism and love for friends. She believes that if anything can be solved without conflict, that way must always be the first option. She hates violence and death. Unfortunately, she also has an id thatās starving for violence, and she tries her best to suppress it coz she wants to be better.
20: What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
23: Any ships for your OC?
Tardy and mental fortitude
1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?
I wanted Theo to have that āpart of the popular groupā type of vibe, so I based him on a person I know. Since he has to give this type of vibe, I wanted him to have a lot of layers of nastiness to the point that I made him a juvenile serial killer who murders people for art. Coincidentally, while developing him, I read a lot of creepypastas includingĀ teeth.jpgĀ which was EXACTLY how I wanted to write Theo.
3: Has your OC gone through different incarnations during their stay on Tumblr? Were they reimagined or have they stayed the same all this time?
Heās changed a little but got a lot added to him.
4: How do you get into your OCās mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them?
I try to act like the said person, as well as channeling my inner artist and using my Tupperware abilities. Heās the type to tell you everything you ever wanted to hear so he can use you.
11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? Whatās their favourite place?
He doesnāt have to go anywhere to de-stress now because the Warfield is a beautiful canvas of possibilities for him
16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
art is a form of expression
art for the sake of art is the ultimate goal
the camera does not make the photographer
living beings are the hardest subject to capture, but as the most supreme being on the earth, the artist has the power to manipulate his subjects so he may better express his innermost thoughts
20: What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
23: Any ships for your OC?
I lowkey ship him with Paula now, but if by some chance I put themĀ together, it would be a relationship where they constantly whisper sweet nothings while pointing knives at each othersā neck soooooo
1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?
Paula is supposed to beĀ āthat popular girl that can do anything but does not interact with the plebsā. As I was planning her, I constantly kept SCAMPERing because the initial plan felt too dry. She eventually switched body types with Tardy, sheās still the girl who can do anything but instead, her isolation keeps her too introverted for her own good and too paranoid about anyone who tries to talk to her... Except for Tardy. The weapon she uses is a recycle from an old concept of mine.
3: Has your OC gone through different incarnations during their stay on Tumblr? Were they reimagined or have they stayed the same all this time?
She had plenty of changes, especially in the weapon/abilities department. XD
4: How do you get into your OCās mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them?
SHEāS LIKE THIS FRIEND I HAD IN COLLEGE. THATāS IT. I TRY TO ACT LIKE THEM. ITāS FUNNY BUT it hurts sometimes coz i also remember weāre not friends anymore.
11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? Whatās their favorite place?
She gets lost in books, but those are scarce now.
16: What are the concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
She just wants to be free and live normally, unfortunately, her parents isolating her from the outside world during her formative years has tampered with her trust with anyone and her views about people in general.Ā

23: Any ships for your OC?
Theo. But itās too... eek.
