Tell me your top five fun facts about one of your OCs!
oh shit oh fuck this never notified me oh god uhhhhhhhh
let’s Yell about me boy Vaerik
Little bit of background info: Anyone who’s unfortunately been following me for the past few years knows I’m very attached to an Angel OC of mine named Carius. Vaerik here is basically her reincarnation! He’s very much aware of this and really wants to live up to her history (and by extension Xerdi, who Carius is also derived from). Vaerik really do try his best, my man.Facts:1. Vaerik is hilariously clumsy. It’s not even the endearing sort of clumsy, he just knocks shit over or falls flat on his face and it causes problems. He’s probably tripped up stairs at least a few times.
2. He’s also a terrible liar. Poor boy tends to panic easily and whenever something is awry he can’t think fast enough to get himself out of any holes he’s dug for himself. Cue him stammering out the first thing that comes to mind, whether it’s sensible or not.
3. Vaerik loves the ocean! No one’s really sure why, considering neither Xerdi nor Carius had any affinity for it. He’s been known to straight up dunk himself in the ocean for a solid week (my Angels don’t need to breathe), much to the chagrin of anyone who wants to talk to him at the time. His best friend Cygnet hates when he does this because where the fuck were you dude I was looking everywhere!!!
4. Bet y’all never saw this coming, but Vaerik is left handed! I say this because I am left handed and I project it on a majority of my OCs. He writes decently well; not chickenscratch but not exactly flowing script either. He likes to write little notes and reminders for himself since he’s a bit forgetful.
5. Lastly, if Vaerik were to sing, it’d be apparent that he’s very much a tenor. Singing is a big thing for my Angels, so it’s important for him to know, I guess. Pair him with Atali’s guitar and you’ve got yourself a good duo—that is, if you can get Atali to go anywhere near Vaerik to begin with.
Thank you for sending this ask, it’s not often I get to talk about my dumb characters!
