11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?

I could make a Solar joke and do the Will Smith gesture meme at Marian, Sherwood, Hope, and Five

Or I could be more thoughtful.
Sunshine is warm, bright, and very noticeable.

Dulcie is a good choice for the word. She’s warm in both a literal (fire good) and figurative sense, and she makes herself known whenever she is anywhere. In one Cityverse plotline, Dulcie even pretends to be a super villain to give Sherwood someone to track down with his vigilante work.

17. Any OC OTPs?

Of just mine? Oh yeah.

Harmony of the Storm and Red Sand Angel are a big one. In most Universes, Sandy keeps Harmony grounded and Harmony helps Sandy experience new things with less fear. ((In one particular universe one could argue that neither of them is a good influence on the other))

Phineas and Crash is super important to me because my big sweet shark boy being in love with his Anglerfish Captain is just…so good. Just too good.

Chris and Zoey is an OTP no matter how sad I keep writing their story.

And I gotta include a non romantic OTP (pairing can mean many things) and that is Doyle and Bianca. Bianca puts up with so much of Doyle’s shit but goodness if Doyle isn’t the most grateful.

18. Any OC crackships?

Fave crackship: Sherwood and Tabor

Other fave crackship: Nolan and Prism
This one is great because I imagine it going south VERY QUICKLY

((also now that I mention it: Prism and Marley))

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

Okay so, I can’t parse this question well so I read it as:
Have any of your OCs changed dramatically from your first design?

Yes, in many respects.

Sandy is very different between her original Exalted concept and her current role in Apocalypse world. She was more distant, less friendly, tended to complain a lot. Apocalypse AU Sandy is…different.

Marian changed a lot too! Originally she was supposed to be very Magical Girl feeling; also sneaky and thrown weapons based. She…uhh…became an overly dramatic She-Hulk with a lot of emotional baggage.

To be fair tho, my characters are in a constant state of change, I think

OC ask meme: 1, 3, 6, 34

1. Your first OC ever?

That would actually be “The Slime” from a comic I made when I was in first grade (The Slime that ate Chicago)
But I don’t count that. My first real OC was probably Kiki. She was an Espeon Anthro in a pokemon story based loosely on the backstory of a roleplay group I got rejected from in middle school.

3. 

Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

Back in the day? I spent much of my time on GaiaOnline (migrated from Neopets when a Neopets friend got banned). I found my way to the “Breedable/Changeable Pets” threads and that’s where I really got into RP. Many of the OCs I have now (including Sherwood and Tabor) originated here. So, visually, many of my OCs were adopted!

Because it’s been so long since I’ve been around that neck of the woods (and I’m fairly sure some of the threads I frequented have been abandoned) I have “adopted” some of the characters of the people I used to play with in a background sense. This is because they influenced some of my characters so much it would feel weird not to have them around.

I miss them.

6. 

Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?

Hope Forged in Flame looks an awful lot like one of my FATE characters, Tina “Tink” Spelling.
They’re both messy haired blondes with stocky builds and sharp features; but Hope is Really Tall and Tink is really short.

Additionally, I have a lot of self-insert characters who (consequently) all look alike. (Cityverse is full of weird me clones meandering about)

34. 

Do you have any twin characters?

I do!
Luviia and Lupen are fraternal twins. They were two characters I adopted back in my Gaia days. I haven’t used them anywhere else yet.
Luviia is a magic nullifier (her power is that she cancels out magic) and she can see the flows of magic in the world.
Lupen, her brother, can see and interact with ghosts (even though he’s very much afraid of them.

Tabor is a fraternal twin too. He and his brother had polar opposing luck when they were kids (Tabor was lucky, Felix was unlucky) so they did everything together to keep a balance. When Tabor was cursed and lost all of his luck, Felix got it.
Felix is usually on the search to find his long lost brother.

Between @greensunprincess and myself, we have a few shared characters who are twins. They’re shared because they’re the kids of some of our other characters.
The most notable are Bedlam and Havoc, Marian’s firstborn (well that she knows about) children. They’re cute and sweet and Marian loves them a lot.

2. Tallest Vs Shortest

Tallest is Masozi, my sweet Giraffe Centaur boy
Smallest is a toss up between Wocky, a 3 foot tall gnomish bard/goddess and Five Corners Menagerie (mostly because I’m not totally sure how tall Five is yet)

9. Darkest Backstory vs. Lightest Backstory

Lightest might be easier…
So..let’s see, if I narrow this down to characters who have both of their parents and grew up in relatively safe homes…

Dulcie becomes the obvious answer but her “starting point” for her story puts her at some elementary school age so she lacks any potential crisis some of my adult characters get. She’s a tiny pyromancer whose parents run a bakery and work with her to help control her powers while never making her feel bad about having them.

So if we shift gears and look only at adults then probably…Hope Forged in Flame?
She grew up in a loving and supportive household with both of her parents. She dreamed of being a great warrior and defending her home country, which her family supported. She achieved her dream after years of hard work when she joined the accompaniment at The Wall (defenders of the northern border) and the worst hardship she suffered in her backstory was the loss of most of her military unit on a mission north of the wall where she saved the only other living member of the unit and exalted in the process.
So yeah, she did pretty well for herself I think.

If that’s still too dark, Cynis Shunka’s only backstory trouble is that they ended up married to a lady who doesn’t really care much for them even though Shunka really wants to make the relationship work.

Darkest is harder.

Maybe…Doyle Mcready, whose family immigrated to the US from Ireland back when the US was absurdly racist against said immigrants, grew up in a household where alcoholism was a sad but present norm, fell into the same patterns, and then just as he was turning his life around as an adult lost his wife to a horrible tragedy. He spent untold amounts of time time-travelling in an attempt to save her but failed each and every time before finally giving up and deciding to jump forward to try and shake all of the memory of his pain. He ended up settling in just long enough before WW2 to get comfortable before joining the war effort. Nearly died twice in the war before travelling forward to like…now where he lives an unassuming life and drinks because he doesn’t know how else to deal with everything he’s been through.
….Yeah probably Doyle

Anyway moving on!

20. Shows the most Skin vs Covers the most skin

Shows the most Skin is Naila (in original Satyr form) who doesn’t believe in wearing clothes.
Runner up is Harmony of the Storm who is wearing a bikini top and a sarong whenever she can get away with it.

Covers the most skin is Red Sand Angel who, because she is always cold, is always in long sleeves, fingerless gloves, long pants, and her signature scarf.
Runner up is Marley who, because she is a vampire, has to cover up her body to protect it from the sun.

dating sim: Shunka is too wow

The whole Shunka arc starts with the two of you literally colliding and Shunka getting something of a laugh out of it. They bake you lemon cakes as an apology the next day.

They’re easy to get ahold of and happy to hang out. You are never short on baked goods and good company. They get blushy and tongue tied when you actually ask them out.

Dates are quiet and out in nature or….well involves some baking. It’s a very chill time.

Wocky, hands down. I’m tall and blond, that’s basically the same as being an elf, right?

Dating Wocky is easy, keeping her from wandering off and getting into trouble is the hard part. She’d like you, you’re tall and smug and she’d see both as a challenge.

There’s a big plot point in the game where she wanders off and gets lost and there’s probably some crazy magic bs. You’ll probably also have to deal with small and broody Fears….but that should be fine.
