Questions About Creating Your OCs

cassandrapentayaaaaas:

‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.

  1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 
  2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 
  3. How did you choose their name? 
  4. In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts? 
  5. Is there any significance behind their hair color? 
  6. Is there any significance behind their eye color? 
  7. Is there any significance behind their height? 
  8. What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 
  9. Are they based off of you, in some way? 
  10. If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person? 
  11. Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation? 
  12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 
  13. How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all? 
  14. 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? 
  15. What is something about your OC can make you laugh? 
  16. What is something about your OC can make you cry? 
  17. Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story? 
  18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC? 
  19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

Jellyfish Lake in Palau. Apparently the jellies have lost their ability to sting because of lack of predators in the lake and you can swim with them!

BUCKET LIST.

WAIT BUT THAT’S NOT EVEN THE COOLEST PART: These jellyfish carry small populations of algae inside their bodies and derive much of their nutrition from the sugars that the algae produce. The jellyfish follow the sun across the lake each day and rotate continuously, so that the algae are always getting maximum sunlight exposure for photosynthesis. Then at night they dive to deeper parts of the lake so the algae can absorb nitrogen. It’s one of the best examples of endosymbiosis in action and it’s KICKASS.

Imagine your icon as the protagonist of the last show you watched

Dipper Pines as Hannibal.

Will graham as a judge on ink master?

Its the Command tower hosting Hell’s Kitchen

Ob Nixilis playing Yu-Gi-Oh!

Junkrat replaces Spike in Cowboy Bebop

I replace Bob from Bob’s Burgers. I don’t know how to feel about that honestly.

cayde meets the defenders? im down

Random furry art as Aang in ATLA? That’d be weird af

You Watanabe as a Soul Reaper.

I imagine she’d love the uniforms, at least!

I’m not sure the dynamic of Brooklyn 99 works so well if you replace Jake with a srs flaming-sword-wielding paladin.

What if….Victoria was a closeted lesbian and accidentally marries Emily—who is bisexual—instead of it being Victor?

(Pt 1)

In all seriousness though, I’ve always had this idea in my head since I first watched this movie twice in theaters and I’m finally making it come true because dammit I want to; this alternate story would’ve made my heart soar back when I was in the closet and had an embarrassing crush on Emily
