!!

With every “!!” i get, I’ll introduce you to an OC!

Do you remember when you asked me like 42 years ago to do this?? Cuz this has been haunting me for a while and I FINALLY had time to figure out which OC to introduce write a response!

This is Rayan, my middle-aged assassin Arisen for the game Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen! Fun story: we're not with the times, I played her on an XBox 360!

Backstory and photos under the cut.

SO! If you aren't familiar with the game, Dragon's Dogma is about your character--the Arisen--going on a quest to fight a dragon to recover the heart that he stole from you. And I mean he literally steals your heart. Like physically out of your chest. Because you're a hero destined for great things, and this is a test of your ability to take up the mantle. You get to pick your fighting style (sword and board, bow and dagger, or magic, and you can upgrade later to advanced or hybrid vocations) as well as a main follower that you can customize called a pawn. Pawns are humanoid characters that lack free will and are destined to travel with the Arisen. Also you have to pick a lover, which is wonderfully not gender-locked so you can be as gay as you want. And when you beat the game, you can play it again and keep all your stuff from your last playthrough, and there's a point where you can see the last Arisen you made in your last playthrough too, but that's all I'll say. ;) If you watched the series, it doesn't do the game justice.

Anywho, in the game, there's a group of bandits that are only women. I like to think that before the events of the game, Rayan used to be one of them. But she got pregnant and decided to settle down to raise her kid. She retired to Cassardis, the fishing village you start the game in, and had a baby boy (father wasn't in the picture). The son wanted to become a soldier for the duke who rules over the land. Unfortunately, he was killed in action and his body was returned to Cassardis. There's a hidden cliffside cave with a headstone in it; that's where I imagine he was buried. Anywho, Rayan was distraught, but she knew the risks of his line of work, and she continued on with her life, but she didn't return to her life as a bandit. Until the dragon showed up. She was the only one to take up a sword against him, so he stole her heart. It more or less forced her out of retirement, to brush off her old assassin gear and take to the roads. Her pawn was named Diarmid. He was a tall, somewhat awkward warrior that would have been about her son's age. Rayan didn't quite baby him, but she tried her best to give him the guidance and encouragement that she would have wanted to give her son. And it culminates into...the final event that I shall not elaborate on because that would be spoilers. Anywho, she also built a rapport with a man named Mason who ended up becoming her lover. I don't think their relationship is intensely romantic though, but they are very close. I imagine they sleep drink together a lot.

Idk, she was my fourth playthrough (I'm on my fifth now), but so far she's my favorite Arisen I've made. She's the one I have most of a story for. Still isn't that much, but....yeah :D

Below are some in-game photos. Again, I'm playing off an XBox 360, so these were from my phone XD

Thank you for asking!!

Aideen in 7 because I think it'll be cute please (and she's the only OC I actually know the name of! What's the cute one you drew last month's name?)

This is the one right? I think it is XD After a long day of pestering she just enjoys a night under the stars, loungin‘ in her leaves that i totally would’ve put more effort into but eeehhhhh frustration from slow computer wouldn’t allow it, oh well!

And if you mean this one, well…they don’t actually have a name yet. Maybe just a random letter for now? I’m thinkin V.

4# for the artist ask meme?

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw.

As far as just anything? Backgrounds. Dude I SUCK at perspective.

But if we're talking specifically characters, uhh...Xiq's horns stump me quite a bit. I can never get them the exact same every time, and they're tricky in the round. Is this the reason why most characters probably don't have horns? Most likely, yeah. Do i already have other characters with horns, and plan to make more in the future? Also yes.

Thank you for asking!

would love to hear about your favorite oc from your horror story :)c

Okie doke! (Ngl this was kinda hard, I have a soft spot for them all)

So one of my favorites is the big guy on the left.

His name is Fritz. He's the main character's best friend (the other dude named Mike), they've known each other since middle school. Mike was the first and only real friend Fritz ever made. Fritz is a goofball. He constantly ribs Mike, especially when it comes to a mutual friend that Mike has a severe crush on. He's pretty laid back but he doesn't trust people easily. In fact, he kind of assumes the worst of them until proven otherwise. For the most part he's an open book to the people he likes, but he has a couple things he wouldn't even tell them (for example I don't think he knows how to drive but they live in town and walk everywhere so it never came up). He's also pretty smart and good at figuring things out. If there's anything he doesn't know, he knows a guy.

These two are characters that my fiancee and I had for a long time. He and Mike were originally FNAF ocs. We always thought it was funny that Fritz was the security guard ONLY for the custom night, so in the context of the game he came in and immediately futzed around with the animatronics enough to get fired. We tried to base his personality around that. But yknow time went on and we got out of the fandom so we brought the characterizations with us. Now we're making a story for them called Crooked Teeth! We kept the first names as a sort of homage to their roots tho.

Thank you so much for asking!! 💙💙💙

Misa Amane

Ah, hello friendly anon! I must admit, if this is for the ask game, I've never actually watched/read Death Note. I'm a fraud and have mostly learned about the series through Tumblr memes, most of which are about Light, L, and Ryuk. I've seen pictures of her around but I know next to nothing about her. But based on general vibes, some explaining from my gf, and whatever Google Images can tell me without spoiling the series, let's see what I can do!

Do I like them: Aesthetically, yes! I know very little about her personality!

5 good qualities: Really cool fashion sense, uhh....she has that vibe of 'oh I'm cute but I s2g if you try anything' which is one of my favorite character tropes, she looks like her eyes change colors through different animated versions of the series so that's fun, she has a cute face, and overall she kinda got girlboss vibes.

3 bad qualities: I don't see a lot about her so either she's super underappreciated or people don't like her, she looks hard to draw with all the lace and stuff she wears, and she's in a series I haven't seen. Are these petty takes on bad qualities? Yes. But they're all I have to go on.

Favorite episodes/etc.: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh episode 15.

OTP: Misa and....L. Why not.

BrOTP: Misa and Light. Why not.

OT3: The...three from befooorrreee????

NOTP: Misa and Ryuk. These are like...the only characters I know.

Best quote: Pulling from the top of the fandom wiki: "Yeah, but… to me, Light is more important than the world." I'm not gonna change my OTP stuff tho cuz it's funnier that way.

Headcanon: She...uhhh......i have no idea. She ebil, the way Light is. Look at her and tell me that she's a law-abiding citizen.

I'm.....so sorry. I literally know nothing about Misa but I am curious, and I've wanted to get into this series since like...junior high. Haven't had a chance to tho. Who knows? This may be what pushes me to watch it. Might compare what I wrote to what I watch and reblog with reactions or something idk.

Thanks for asking!

Pass the happy! 🌻 When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications. 💗💗💗

O-oh okay!!

Uhh...First things that come to mind are those moments of humanity that transcend culture and all, just people being people, having fun, helping each other and all that. It's heartwarming.

Animals, which tends to be people's pets. And also sharks like... a disproportionate amount, they're my favorite animal.

That kind of weather where it's the tail end of winter and you can almost feel it getting warmer and the air is crisp and you get that surge of energy? Yeah that's the good stuff.

The moments when you're working on a story and pieces just fall into place. Like that goofy quirk you gave your OC, that as you work on their story the reason they have that quirk just clicks.

Also that liberating feeling of having truly nothing to do, like no projects on the horizon, all the chores are done, the time is truly yours.

You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆

What is your character's voice in terms of speed, pitch, and/or inflection? Do they have an accent or use slang? Do they have an extensive vocabulary? 

Oh hi howdy! I need to check in here more often, I don’t get notifications when I get stuff in my inbox. ^^;

ANYWHO! Character voice! I’m gonna pick Xiq for this one, ‘cause his is the only voice for which I have any sort of ideas.

Xiq’s a quick-talker. Kinda high-pitched and nasally. He has the sort of inflection and cadence of a 1920′s radio personality despite his story taking place in 1896, but he has the personality of a used car salesman in that sleazy don’t-trust-him kinda way. He does like to use slang, especially the ones with meaner implications.

As far as the extent of his vocabulary, he doesn’t tend to use a lot of big words in his own speech, but he understands more than he lets on. He’s not very eloquent, but he can hold a conversation with people that are. Which makes sense. It’s his job.

Thank you so much for asking! :D
