2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?
Hehehe, definitely Beia Liliala. She’s the one I turn to for fucking EVERYTHING. Doesn’t help that everyone else is just a WIP or I’ve never had the chance to actually use them for anything xwx
4. A character you rarely talk about?
All of them
But seriously, there’s a reason why I barely talk about most of my OCs. Most of them are concepts I don’t wanna get rid of, or have a little bit of substance to them. Nothing solidified, though I really want to get a solid roster one’a these days. I know a few I wanna talk more about would be Keola and Imake, (pokemon twins) the lava golem character, (I tossed their name cause it was entirely unoriginal) and Dreamweaver (Goddamn her powers are cool as hell. But I really only briefly mentioned her to you alone, so she belongs on this list)
25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)
Well, no. Beia Liliala may have started tied to me, but she’s evolved beyond my limitations. Tanukitty might count, if she wasn’t technically my per/fursona. I don’t really DO self inserts. Or maybe I haven’t gotten the proper inspiration to make a self insert yet… Who knows?
38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer?
Ya know, I’d say it’s tied between Keola and Dreamweaver. Liliala can dance, but it’s nothing fancy, enough where she can blend into a crowd. Most of the others don’t quite fit, but Keola would absolutely dance with her brother and with pokemon. And damn, is she a sight to behold, if she trusts you enough to be that relaxed. Dreamweaver can get into a mindset that allows for very fluid movement, and then it’s just a matter of getting the right costume and just… letting her body go. Let it move as it desires
49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes
I’ll be honest here, two come to mind. Vines and videos that are short like vines, Keola. A quick skit for a laugh, and she’s definitely up for a smile now and then. Imake sometimes acts out these skits when they’re alone, just for her.
The rest of the memes? The lava golem. Memes are simple and fucking stupid, or complicated and groan-worthy. Either way, they love seeing what the humans can come up, a small taste of humanity’s humour in an abstract sense.
9) Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?
Not especially. Animals have quick strong instincts and senses, allowing them to perceive that which humans cannot. Due to the nature of sangremancy and the fact that Beia is Ascended, animals are made uneasy by her very presence. How they react to that uneasiness varies from animal to animal. Course, this leans towards a more fearful side if Beia puts on an intimidating aura.
14) Do they have any specific memories of food/a restaurant/meal?
Having lived and traveled for longer than anyone should, she’s got stories for just about every occasion. The most important ones, however, she doesn’t like talking about to those she doesn’t trust. Such as when she had tried to repair the rift between two of her friends. A double “date” that was quickly soured by the memory of the dead.
16) Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it?
This varies depending on the canon she’s in, whether there’s magic or not. In her original canon, she collects Artifacts, powerful magical objects with unique abilities that can’t be replicated through any means, ranging from a book that never runs out of blank pages and only allows you to see what you wrote, to an unnaturally black gem capable of destroying the planet. (Which is obvious with a name like Crystalized Singularity) Some Artifacts she keeps close to her, like the Blank Book. They’re useful, why not use them? Others she keeps locked away from prying eyes. She’s smart enough not to abuse the dangerous ones, but there’s always people who yearn for their power. As for where she keeps them all, she’s built a vault in a very peculiar dimension she calls Elsewhere.
Without the presence of magic, though, she collects books. All different genres, all different purposes, all different languages. Textbooks, dramas, children’s books, cook books, anything and everything, so long as it’s one she’s never gotten before. Naturally, what she does with books is what anyone would do with them: Read. When she’s got the time, she likes to read her collection, trying to learn anything she can. A large part of survival is being prepared, after all. Since books are significantly less dangerous than Artifacts, she doesn’t really have one spot for them. Instead, she’s got outposts scattered throughout the world(s), so wherever she goes, there’s a library within range.
22) What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back?
If Beia has a problem with you, you either know it well, or you’re dead/gravely injured. She speaks her mind and couldn’t give a shit what others think. She’s lived too long for that.
Her insults are mostly trash talking, teasing her opponents to frustrate them, keep her own spirits and enjoyment high during the battle, or at least coax them into not holding back. She LOVES the thrill a fight brings, and she aims to enjoy every second of it, to anyone else’s dismay.
Outside of combat, however, she tends to stick to insulting the intelligence of those she doesn’t respect. “That’s a pretty fucking stupid idea, ya know?” She doesn’t do it very often, as a result of not caring that much, but she won’t keep her mouth shut if a plan or idea really is a terrible one.
2. What’s their date of birth? Do they follow the stereotypes of their zodiac?
Time feels different when you’re an alien, even more so when you’re a cyborg-like alien. Days and nights blend in, years have no meaning, and neither does a birthday. Or I don’t remember when I first thought up Pesarzt. Your choice >w>;; If I sat down and really thought about it, though, they would have two birthdays. One where they were born as an organic being, and one where they were “reborn” as a cyborg-ish plague doctor.
25. How long would they last in a zombie apocalypse?
It would really depend on what kind of zombie infection it is. Slow zombies would allow Pesarzt to survive indefinitely. As something with intense medical knowledge, they’d quickly realize the strengths and weaknesses of the undead, even start experimenting on them to get some concrete data.
If the infection is more of a curse, with magical or mystical origins, Pesarzt would probably go mad trying to find a logical explanation for them, broadening their experiments and loosening the ethics behind them. Then they’d just survive until a group of survivors get fed up with being treated as guinea pigs and kill the alien.
Rage zombies would overwhelm Pesarzt the fastest. They were sent to this planet to learn what they could, anything to advance science for their own race. A zombie infection would be the perfect time to do some experiments, learn about sociology and biology and such, but rage zombies aren’t to be messed with. The lack of understanding of the human body’s limits would lead to an early experiment going awry, causing a containment breach and probably death. Pretty standard plot for a zombie game at a secret government facility.
Here’s the thing, neither of them care too much about “pineapple on pizza” but rather Keola LOVES pineapple, with anything and everything. When the twins order pizza, they usually get pineapple pizza so Keola can get her pineapple fix. Imake doesn’t like toppings on his pizza, so he just lets Keola steal all the pineapple off his slice.
“Gone in a flash, nothing can catch a rocket-powered cheat-ah!”
Generic Name: Rocket Cheetah Streak Soda
Technical Name: Cognitive and Locomotive Hyper-Stimulant
Physical Effects: Within seconds of consuming the entire can of ‘Streak Soda’, the user’s heart rate, respiration, and cognitive abilities are enhanced to unnatural levels. Along with the enhancement, the user’s cognition is tuned to focus solely on spatial orientation and environment awareness, allowing the user to visualize the path necessary to go where they desire in the shortest time. The muscles in the user’s limbs, especially the leg, abdomen, and back muscles, relax and strengthen, taking some mass and density away from the skull, arm bones, and bones related to the strengthened muscles. (The exception being the spine. The vertebrae remain untouched.) As conversions and enhancements are finalizing, the user experiences an irresistible urge to start running, similar to that of a fight or flight response, minus the fight part. This is coupled with burning “soreness” pain radiating throughout their body if they do not begin moving. This pain has an inverse, exponential relationship to the user’s speed, forcing them to sprint as fast as possible to alleviate it.
Observable Effects: To an outside observer, someone who drinks Streak Soda will visibly twitch, being most noticeable on the thighs and calves of the user. Their pupils will also dilate immensely. Once the user begins moving, all outside observers have difficulties focusing on them, describing the affected individual as “a mere blur”. The user of a Streak Soda will be able to run at a significantly higher speed than is considered natural, able to achieve terminal velocity without the aid of gravity, and without injury. Due to the increased cognition, the user involuntarily avoids any and all obstacles that could slow them or injure them, dodging, vaulting, or leaping when necessary. This effect only lasts for 30 seconds due to its intensity. When the effect expires, the individual effects reverse in a specific order, to avoid injury of the user. The "motivating” pain is alleviated entirely, max speed and muscle effectiveness gradually begin reducing towards normal levels, mass taken from bones are returned to its original location, and the blurring visual effect vanishes. Shortly afterwards, cognition begins to return to normal levels, starting with environment awareness. Once top speed has been reduced to almost safe levels, spatial orientation gradually returns to normal levels, as well as the heart rate and respiration of the user. This process takes about a minute to fully complete, where the natural recovery of the user takes over. (Every user to date has experienced being “severely out of breath” once the Streak Soda has fully expired.)
Author’s Notes: Because of the lowered bone density of “non-essential” limbs, and the fine tuning of cognition, it is extremely ill-advised for anyone under the effects of a Streak Soda to attempt contact with just about everything for more than a moment, or to attempt any action requiring strength, such as lifting, shoving, or carrying. It is designed to lower your ability to take a hit in exchange for not getting hit at all. Due to obvious effects on the circulatory system, it’s considered extremely dangerous to consume more than one Streak Soda before 4 hours has passed from your last can, as well as consuming more than 2 cans in a single day. In addition, there is a different brand of Streak Soda for winged creatures to facilitate impossibly fast flight, as well as a separate effect drink entirely for those wanting to go fast AND take a hit, known as Juggernaut Gin Tonic.
“You silly organics have no idea what you’re up against.”
Name: Ghost (real name unknown)
Age: 19 (formerly)
Origin: Ghost was once a young computer prodigy who picked up coding as though it was their first verbal language. Very quickly, they learned how to manipulate code they hadn’t written, and found it especially thrilling if the code was protected, like with a firewall. Thrilling experiences became an obsession, and they grew increasingly more bold, breaking into more secure systems, tampering with increasingly complicated security measures. Nothing was off-limits or out of reach, and the world was their plaything to break as they saw fit. Unfortunately, there was a few things that they shouldn’t have touched, experiments and prototypes that shouldn’t have been accessed, and Ghost earned the attention of an extremely dangerous organization. In the middle of the night, they sent assassins to keep Ghost silent. They arrived too late, for one of the experiments the young hacker had found was a method for immortality via uploading oneself into a robotic host. Being a single person, Ghost didn’t have a host at the ready, so they altered the code to upload themselves into cyberspace itself. When the assassins found Ghost’s former body, the real Ghost had long since escaped through their computer, having became something more than human.
Appearance: Often inhabits electronic objects. Possessed objects exhibit a neon green glow wherever it can produce light. Green light glows brighter if the “object” is sentient. Occasionally appears on screens as a lime green pixelated sprite in the shape of a cartoonish ghost, akin to the Ghostbusters logo.
Personality: Extremely arrogant, seeing everyone and everything else as something to toy with, for the most part. Happy-go-lucky, often finds something to laugh at, even if it’s someone else’s misery. Sociopathic when it comes to organic humans. Uncharacteristically protective of synthetics. (Androids, robots/Omnics, etc) Intensely paranoid about anything that could harm their coding. (Ghost has evaded death once, when they were organic, and now they prioritize their own existence above absolutely everything.)
Abilities:
-Cyber Ghost: Being a human/AI hybrid allows Ghost to easily traverse the world through anything electronic. If an object is connected to another via wires or wirelessly, Ghost can almost instantly travel between them. There is no range limitation, as long as there is a working connection. Even if there isn’t a solid connection, Ghost can jump to an isolated electronic object in the form of an electric arc. While fast, it is not instantaneous, nor is it stealthy, considering the arc is tinted a bright green. Unlike their first form of travel, arcing has a fairly short range, spanning just over an average arm’s length.
-Inanimate Possession: Once Ghost is inhabiting an object that uses electricity, they have full control over the object. Parts of an object that do not react to electricity or coding cannot be controlled directly, although Ghost can bypass these parts entirely via fabricated signals. A possessed object no longer requires energy, receiving all the power it needs directly from Ghost. (Objects with a large power draw can still be possessed, though Ghost cannot provide all the power by themselves to remain in control for an extended period of time.)
-Seize Host: Just as some undead ghosts can possess living hosts, Ghost can take control over sentient objects and beings, so long as there is electrical components to enter. (AI and robots are the most obvious example, although cyborgs and those with implants aren’t impossible.) Because the host “object” is sentient, new rules apply. First, there are pockets outside of the host’s awareness where Ghost can hide and spread out, like a virus incubating quietly. Gaining control of a living soul is extremely lengthy and demanding, unless Ghost can convince the host to allow them access, effectively removing subconscious firewalls. (Permission given this way cannot be revoked so long as Ghost is in control, as they never relinquish any power they’re given.) Unless terms are set by the host in advance, Ghost can quickly seize control over the entire body, including the host’s awareness, forcing them to “black out” while not in control. (If Ghost is feeling sadistic, they can leave the host conscious, but unable to control their body.) Permission may not be given voluntarily, in which case the host’s natural defenses would be considered hostile. To overcome this, Ghost would send an electrical surge through the host’s primary processing system, inducing a robotic form of seizure. As the “brain” restarts and recovers from the surge, Ghost moves in and takes over. The host is never left conscious if they are conquered in this fashion, for the natural defenses of an AI would overwhelm Ghost if they are not isolated fast enough.
Author’s Notes: I had created Ghost to fit in a universe inhabited by humans, robots, and objectheads, in which “non-organics” are seen as subhuman and second-class citizens. Being a non-organic themselves, Ghost isn’t happy with this, and uses excessive violence whenever defending another synthetic, often resulting in casualties. When not physically defending synthetics, they often target high value systems used by humans, such as financial firms and government facilities. They at least have a chance at posing a challenge, further feeding into Ghost’s obsession with hacking.
