Question 25 through 33 for the OC meme!
25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)
I have no idea. My first thought was Xavier? Dion shares a gaming hobby, but he's built and I'm not (he's also super tall), and I'm not sure how much the similarities continue outside of hobbies. But Xavier is probably about my height, has my same problems with overbathing, loves rabbits, tends to be childish, and is kind of a masochist.
Yeah, Xavier.
26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?
This is kind of expected with all stories and characters to some extent, isn't it? They always go and do their own thing, they change like they're separate beings. They've tossed my plots into the garbage and shocked me with weird personalities.
Thaddeus was originally going to be an earth spirit sent to observe humans. That changed a lot. I don't think that was entirely against my will, it just naturally morphed. It worked out much better.
Another thing was that I remember wanting Thaddeus and Ambrose to be platonic but demonstrate physical affection like hugging and kissing without shame as two boys? And for a bit, it kind of seemed like they might couple up despite that. They ultimately remained as they were supposed to, but the one who shocked me was Eugene! He was going to marry Adelaide. I figured that was the end of it. I had no idea he was gay. I didn't understand what was totally going on when I was writing the tension between Gerard, Cora, and Eugene...until basically it hit me. I later edited in some changes to smooth it out, but it came out of nowhere. It wasn’t against my will, because I’ve learned to go with the characters, but I didn’t expect Eugene and his circle to become so important to the story. :’) (Now Eugene’s one of my fave characters.)
27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?Nah, I don’t recall that ever happening. Usually, I connect a song with an OC or pairing after their creation.28. Your most dangerous OC?To avoid spoilers, I’ll say “probably some villians in Cashmere”, but if you want to go with main characters, probably Lester.Lester has killed people without feeling remorse. They were people who did bad things, and he used that as justification. There was no regret later. He didn’t talk about it. He didn’t feel eaten up inside by it. I can pass him off as a fatherly type, but the man is also a bounty hunter who kills wild animals not for food but to protect the region he lives in. It pays, and he’s good at it. He learned to hunt as a child.But damn, he has used that against humans and his race as well. (He’s not human but part of a race called the Jacanan.) He has also built up a militia. So there’s that, too.(I did think of Hugo just now, too, because like Cashmere, he has power and influence. But he’s also a villian, and not a main character...but Lester is efficient and quiet. So I think that might make him more dangerous.)29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?Cassidy and Basil would pull this shit, together. Hell, Cassidy would go alone without telling Basil, who’d then probably be pissed because “you didn’t take me!” :’)Ridley, Kahtte, Fiona, Boris (this is literally his job), EVELYN (poor Ambrose, she’ll scare him) are all honorable mentions here. :’)30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?Hadeon buys plushies from anime and manga series, video games, etc. I bet he has moogle, chocobo, pokemon, and pikmin plushies. ...tbh I’ve written about that a few times, because I know he owns a shark plush that’s massive, and he rescued a Valentine’s Day teddy bear that was throne out by a jilted lover (inspired by something I saw irl xD) soooo Hade has every plush imaginable. He probably never threw any out as a kid, either. His mom used to beg him to donate them off when he moved in with Toryn, because there was no space in the apartment and they were taking up space in his parents’ house. :’) But he never would, and eventually when Hade and Toryn moved...Hade dedicated an entire corner of the master bedroom to a plushie collection. Toryn vocally shits on it, but every fucking holiday he adds more to it like a fucking romantic sap. Because Toryn is a romantic sap.31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)I’ll go with an OC who doesn’t get much attention: Imogen!She loves pictures of fish and sea mammals (dolphins being a favorite), so she reblogs from a lot of science blogs. This includes adding corrections to anything that isn’t factual. She loves video games and cosplay a ton, so she would post a loooooot of selfies of her cosplay progress, along with con pics.Occasionally, she’ll include recipes for dishes she wants to try, new DIY tips for cosplay weapons/wigs/etc, and reblog about conservation issues that she’s passionate about. She’s also likes a few sports, so during those seasons, a rare post about ice skating or swimming might pop up. Sometimes she gets asks about diving gear. Sometimes she also likes to post pictures of her nights out with her twin brother, Harold, and her younger sister, Alison. They eat at fancy restaurants because while Imogen makes a lot of money, Harold makes even more and always treats everyone. She’s chatty and easy to get along with, and she has a decent amount of followers. This also comes with some hate, but she tends to ignore it. She likes to customize her blog layout to add a coral reef background, and the cursor looks like a little bitty glittery shoal of fish swimming as you move it around.32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?This question made me laugh. I thought, “NOT MIRZA” who is the protag of a story full of nightmarish things! :’DI think Seth would be best. She has the spunk and fearlessness, and it takes a lot to freak her out. Unless you fuck with her loved ones. If you do that, it will break her...Still, she’d be able to survive quite well. She knows how to use a sword and martial arts.Boris would do a good job, though, because he can exorcise demons and deals with ghosts all the time. Monsters might be another matter all together, though...he’d be weak where that’s concerned, as he’s not trained to physically fight.33. Your shyest OC?I’m not sure Seneca counts, since she’s petrified of people from trauma? :(That same goes for Andy, really...she’s traumatized as well. Maybe Daphne, then, because she isn’t traumatized. She finds it convenient that humans can’t even see her, but she’ll hide behind her dad anyway. :’) (She’s a Reaper.)
