Okay! I got some of the questions ready for you this morning!
😓 - What was the most difficult victim your OC ever had? Did they have a tough fight? Did your OC get hurt/injured? Zach, Max
🥩 - Would your OC eat someone if they had to? Are they already a cannibal? If so, why? Abigail, Jude, Zach
🧓 - Do you think they would ever ‘retire,’ or will they keep on slashin’ until they’re in the retirement home, Peepaw Myers style? Abigail, Max
🥺 - Do you believe your OC is evil for their actions, or do you think they are justified/have my poor little meow meow status? Abigail, Max
Hi T33th! Ok this was a lot so I put it under the cut:
(Questions Here)
😓 - What was the most difficult victim your OC ever had? Did they have a tough fight? Did your OC get hurt/injured?
Max’s most difficult victim is kind of spoilers tbh because it’s someone who he,,, didn’t defeat. I will say that, given a werewolf’s raw power it’s almost impossible for a human to fight them themselves. They need tools and strategies and this time it was done indirectly. Yes, he did get injured, and was even believed to be dead. When he came to I imagine he was in all sorts of pain and due to short term memory loss, it took him a while to figure out what actually happened, but when he did… It was pretty hard for him to deal with. I think he has a few scars near his abdomen and chest from this actually.
Zach’s most difficult fight will always be from the Abelton Incident. Not to go into too many spoilers but I mean… He lost an entire fucking eye, almost lost his fingers, sustained a whole lot of scars and no doubt broken bones as well. It’s honestly a testament to his strength that he survived it at all. Not only was this difficult for him physically, but mentally and emotionally as well; he was… Dealing with the very recent loss of a loved one. Abigail traumatised him with what she did and, even more horrifically, used the death of this very same loved one in order to hurt him even more. While it was Jude who dealt the final blow, it was his conviction that got them to that point and he’s ultimately just as responsible for their victory. The demon that possessed him may have been Zach’s first brush with a malevolent supernatural force, but to be honest he didn’t really feel the full weight of what it meant to be a hunter until that point in his life.
🥩 - Would your OC eat someone if they had to? Are they already a cannibal? If so, why?
Abigail is already mildly into it bc she’s drank blood before (for various reasons) and,,, enjoyed it,,, she probably wouldn’t care for eating actual organs for leisure bc they have more value to her as ingredients tbh but if she had to? I wouldn’t exactly say she has a weak stomach lol, although I think she’d at least be classy enough to cook that shit first,,,
Jude is literally on the complete opposite end of the spectrum where the idea disgusts her both instinctually and morally. She sees it as depraved, and tbh I think she has the principles to refuse human meat even if she had to starve as a result. It actually wouldn’t be that far fetched if she ended up in the situation bc she,,, kind of has bad luck with these things honestly but she really does see it as deplorable even if the person was already dead.
Zach is funny bc in some ways he’s very noble and will honestly sacrifice himself and in order to save other people, he does genuinely believe in his cause and devotes his life to it but unlike Jude, he’s definitely willing to get down and dirty if he has to and has more of a capacity for both spiteful cruelty and cold pragmatism. Because of this, I would say yes, but only if he was forced into a situation where there was no other choice but to starve (and just like Jude, his luck is pretty bad so lol) and only if the person was already dead. He’d probably be very remorseful and conflicted afterwards though. I don’t doubt he’d wrestle with feelings of shame that he did what he did. It’s ironic, too, because he spends his life going after ghouls and other corpse-eaters…
🧓 - Do you think they would ever ‘retire,’ or will they keep on slashin’ until they’re in the retirement home, Peepaw Myers style?
Abigail is a witch and well,,, I believe we all know about the wicked old hag living in the woods stereotype. If there is no kind of intervention, I can see her steadily degrading over the years and becoming even more inhuman and depraved. This could go a few ways really: either she fits this archetype to a T and retreats into the wilderness once she gets so old she no longer likes travelling, tries to figure out some way to become immortal so she can continue her occult learning, or… Abby will go further down the rabbit whole of insane multidimensional magick and disappear to,,, who the fuck even knows at this point.
Max is likely to go the same way as Jack, that is to say he will become an elder Lycan and probably have an easier time controlling himself as the years go by. I can see him ‘retiring’ and stopping the active killing honestly, but on a more practical note he will probably have to leave Downings at some point. It would be kinda,,, suspicious if he lived there for too long lol. He’d probably go looking for other Lycans to group up with (other than Jack, but he might actually be dead at this point so) since he’s not really suited to being alone, he’ll become depressed if he doesn’t belong to a family tbh. I see him as a cool badass grandpa biker looking dude who is nice to kids and maybe takes after Jack in the sense that he mentors other Lycans as well. Also he’d probably grow his bushy beard out longer lol.
🥺 - Do you believe your OC is evil for their actions, or do you think they are justified/have my poor little meow meow status?
Abigail might have had meow meow status at one point, but it’s become more complicated as I started writing her and I have begun to emphasise her selfishness and cruelty a bit more, bc she is very much both of those things. However I do feel sympathy for her, because with all the neglect she faced, love seemed like an unattainable ideal for her and her other desire for power and knowledge sort of filled that void in her heart. I think if there had been a better upbringing, maybe someone more understanding or who at least cared about her, things could’ve been different; maybe she wouldn’t be stuck in the ‘I am evil’ rut so much. I feel that it’s almost more tragic that she would probably end up in this sort of position anyway because she is by nature an eldritch abomination who tbh can’t really fit in with humans to a degree. Also no, most of her murders are not justified whatsoever and she’s intentionally killed innocents for absolutely no reason on multiple occasions, quite scummy ngl. Once she passed that threshold it was impossible to go back, but at least she looked cool while doing it lol. (Plus I just kinda love evil women so)
Max is ABSOLUTELY my poor little meow meow who has done nothing wrong ever in his life he is my sweet baby boy. The really sad thing about Max is that he had no choice or say whatsoever in his initial slasher actions and basically had no idea wtf was going on, but unlike a certain someone he always retained his more compassionate side and was able to push past it and never willingly killed an innocent. Like, the only people he kills now are done on a judgement basis and I do believe there’s a kind of discussion to be had on whether or not it’s acceptable to like,,, kill someone bc they were rude once lol but I feel like there’s some wiggle room when it comes to him. I can’t bring myself to think of him as evil and I do believe he’s meow meow material <3 which is further helped by the fact he also balances it out with caring for and helping people? Tbh I believe even as a human he didn’t like bullies and growing up as he did with his brothers, he learned how to fight pretty early on so it wasn’t like his ‘justice seeking’ behaviour came out of nowhere. His problem is mostly recognising more subtle assholery
