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?
Questions About Creating Your OCs
Well, I answered that here, but if I had to add two MORE things I keep in mind, it’d be:
1. Even if this is a demon, this is a nasty demon that other demons don’t like.
2. Torture is a Doppelganger’s bread and butter.
And both of those points also go hand in hand. Demons mostly lust after power, and human blood. Doppelganger doesn’t want either of those things, it puts them at the bottom of the food chain in demonic societies, because they have no motivation or drive to participate in society in any meaningful way. Doppelgangers have no sense of respect or honor, they don’t fight among other demons in a quest for power.
No, they torture, they manipulate, they ruin, and for what? To claim power? No. They just want to get by. They just want a meal and a safe place to live. It makes their actions so unpredictable and it makes them very disliked in the demonic world. The fact that they aren’t after power also keeps them low on the food chain.
They are truly the scum of the underworld.
Not to say they aren’t also hated in the human world, but humanity is largely innocent to the fuckery that is demons, as far as canon goes.
