Hello there!!! 1 and 4 for the oc ask ~
Oh man... What qualifies as my first? If you count imaginary friends, it’s probably Koro-chan? She was my imaginary friend when I was like... 3.
I know there was also a light-hearted fairy-tale-world-esque fantasy setting I was writing for in first grade. I literally cannot remember a single thing about my characters there, but I would assume it was like fairies and mermaids which were creatures that I was super into back then. Probably with blonde hair, because I was really envious of light-colored hair when I was younger.
I’ve been writing since I was about 5 years old, and I cannot remember most of what I’ve written!
Otherwise my first characters that I created when I started roleplaying were terrible self-inserts and it’s questionable whether they actually count as OCs since it was literally me.
4. A character you rarely talk about?
honestly i really need to talk about my characters more often in general
I think I’m going to talk about Cass for this! She’s one of my coolest characters ever I think, and my other OCs will be featured in the near future since I’m going to start pushing their WIPs more~
Cass is one of my OCs that’ll feature as a minor character in Wanderlust! She’s an older character in her 60s and is probably the most badass people in existence.
So for those of you who might be unfamiliar with Wanderlust, it’s an urban fantasy setting where the existence of magic and witches have recently come to light outside of the magical community. The government has outlawed all magic and have decided to arrest all witches in response. Although the reveal of their existence was relatively recent, there has been a lot of turmoil and conflicts within the witches for a really long time.
Cass is one of the most influential and notable witches from the older generation. She was involved in a lot of power struggle and conflicts back when she was younger and emerged as a huge power player who would eventually shape a lot of the magical community that the main characters of Wanderlust will experience. She’s always been extremely ambitious and power hungry with the talent and know-how to achieve all of her political and magical goals. She also grew up in an environment where she couldn’t really trust anybody but herself, so she was determined to make herself powerful with no one else’s help.
Then, she meets and falls in love with her husband, Lee (written by @decantae) and they become as a huge power couple. A lot of their actions, achievements and efforts lead semi-directly into the main plot of Wanderlust.
Eventually, a lot of exciting life things happen, and Cass changes a lot. By the time she’ll appear in Wanderlust, she has people she cares for and has gone as far as giving up her magic for them — though it’s still unclear how that’s possible for rest of the magical community. She’s still powerful and has a lot of influence but she’s mostly removed herself from the politics and fighting within the witches. Her personality doesn’t go through substantial change and I don’t think it ever will, but she’s a hell of a lot wiser now and has completely different motives than before. Instead of vying for power, her priority is her family now — which is something that she never would’ve even considered in her youth — even if she’s maybe not the best at keeping it together. She’s trying her best.
