Chase and Bobby for numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, mostly 19, 23 and 25.
( Send me a number and an OC
1. What memory would your OC rather just forget?
For both of them it would probably be one of the big climactic moments of Bowman of Wellwood, the story they originate from. Most people here probably already know it but I'll keep it vague in case there's some out there that have yet to be spoiled. Needless to say it was traumatic for all involved.
2. What’s something about your OC that people wouldn’t expect just from looking at them?
For Chase, people underestimate how good a liar he is, which only helps him sell the ruse. For Bobby, I think people wouldn't expect his temper. He jumps to frustration pretty fast when he doesn't get his way, exactly his way (it's something he knows to work on as he gets out of his teen years).
3. What is your OC’s fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?
Chase: Very impulsive, aware of it, and unsure how to stop.
Bobby: The aforementioned temper. Not super aware of it outside of moments when he's getting angry about something.
5. How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?
Chase would back down if things got too dark or heavy. Bobby needs to have that sense knocked into him, so he tends to go farther to get things (it comes from a place of extreme privilege; he's used to getting what he wants, but he's capable of listening and learning).
8. Would your OC ostensibly be able to get away with murder?
10. What’s an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?
Trick question, if I'm exploring an AU it's because I found it interesting. This could probably be a whole discussion on its own, though Chase has a couple fun AUs floating around this blog already!
12. Is your OC self-destructive? In what ways?
Chase could be considered a little self-destructive, probably. He's all impulse, very little consideration of long term consequences. He's going with the flow, which is good to a point. He needs more level-headed people to remind him to stay on track sometimes. Bobby's probably not that self-destructive? He's selfish but he doesn't fall into things that'd be harmful long term.
15. Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?
I don't really have any faceclaims for either of them, no. Probably should try to find some.
17. What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise?
Chase's worst time was probably in the Brothers Lost Supernatural AU with @nightmares06, in which we had him captured by the Hellhounds Ed and Harry, and subsequently hotboxed in their RV. He has asthma. Don't smoke around him.
I suppose so far the worst thing I've ever written for Bobby was getting possessed by a demon in a different Supernatural AU with nightmares06. What can we say, we put everyone through some stuff! No one is safe.
19. How does your OC behave when enraged?
I almost can't imagine Chase enraged? I don't think I'll know until I have occasion to write it. Bobby gets very entitled and myopic.
23. What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?
They're young men who grew up in the US. The world around them has given them all the wrong lessons for how to process and express sadness. It's one thing to say they know "Boys don't cry" is bullshit, it's another to live by it. Luckily they have Jacob around, who is a really good example for how to process and express emotions.
25. What is your favorite thing about your OC?
Chase is a total goober with a knack for talking himself into and sometimes out of trouble. I never know what I'm gonna come up with for him next lol.
Bobby's not one of my favorite OCs, but he at least isn't as one dimensional as I used to think. He's insufferable in some ways and always has a strong chance of making the exact wrong decision, but he can learn.
