Character Creation Tag [Omega]
I was tagged, like, a month ago by @pens-swords-stuff! I’ve been working on this ever since but haven’t finished it until now lol. Thank you for tagging me!!
I’m going to be doing this for Omega from Let’s Kill Tonight since her moodboard got so many notes.
1) What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.?)
Her name definitely came first. That’s always the first thing I come up with for characters. After that was her blue hair.
2) Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?
Not really, but I knew I was going to have nine characters and they needed to have different skills, so I had to keep that in mind when creating her.
3) How did you choose their name?
It literally just came to me. Names do that. They’re the first thing I think of when creating characters. And once I get the name, the appearance and personality become clear to me and suddenly I have a character.
4) In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
She lives on a very wealthy world, so that definitely had a lot of impact on her story.
5) Is there any significance behind their hair colour?
No, I just wanted to have a character with blue hair. And she doesn’t have any significant reason for it either. She just wanted to do it for fun.
6) Is there any significance behind their eye colour?
Nope. (Her eyes are brown, by the way.)
7) Is there any significance behind their height?
Well, her love interest is really tall because his species is just naturally tall, so I wanted to make her really short to give them a height difference because height differences are really cute. So, yeah, kinda.
8) What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
I relate to her longing for a different life. Not that she’s unhappy with the one she has. She just wants something different, something more. I also relate to her love of space exploration. She wants to travel among the stars, visit other worlds. And I do too. If only that was possible for me.
9) Are they based off of you, in some way?
Not really. More on who I’d like to be, I guess. But she’s not an idealized version of myself. It’s just that she does things I wish I could do. I’d like to dye my hair blue. I’d like to pilot spaceships. I’d like to not care about the consequences of my actions... Etc.
10) Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
Not really, but it quickly became clear to me that she was bi.
11) What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: Writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
The fact that I cannot draw to save my life. Haha.
12) How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?
The answer to this question contains spoilers.
13) 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?
1. She’s reckless.
2. She comes from a rich family.
14) What is something about your OC that can make you laugh?
She has fun dialogue. I don’t really know if it makes me laugh out loud, but it does amuse me to write it.
15) What is something about your OC that can make you cry?
I don’t cry, like, ever. But something about her that makes me sad is that when she becomes an android, her emotions and memories are disconnected from each other. Meaning she doesn’t remember how she felt in the past about certain things. So she doesn’t remember who she was in love with, just that she was in love with someone. She doesn’t remember who she disliked, just that she hated someone. She doesn’t remember who she trusted, just that she was willing to die for someone. She doesn’t remember who she was friends with, just that they were like family to her.... etc.
16) Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?
Nope. I mean, I feel bad for putting her through so much pain. But I don’t know if I necessarily regret it. Mwahaha.
17) What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
The most recent thing I’ve discovered about her is actually the thing I talked about in question #15.
18) What is your favourite fact about your OC?
Well, for some reason, I love that she’s a spacecraft pilot. But I also really love her name and the story behind it. In her mother’s culture, people were not given family names. They were given a handful of other names, chosen carefully so that their initials would spell out a word. Omega was born prematurely and was very weak at first. She was named so that her initials spelled out W-O-L-F in hopes that being named after a strong animal would strengthen her. Her full name is Wisdom Omega Leanne Faith. She went by Wisdom until she was eleven, then started going by Omega because she thought Wisdom was too pretentious.
