Hey I love these things. Hey. Hey you.

oooh this one looks good!

I haven’t done one in a while so…send me some asks.

32 & 44

For this set of questions.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

The Child (who has no actual name). Who is – in a very literal sense – the person one universe revolves around. And she is a creepy little angel-ghost-something who has a very firm idea what the life of the people she attaches herself is supposed to be, and makes it happen. Makes them live, alters their memories, the memories of everyone around them.

(Also, she’s part of a set of snippets that aren’t likely to go any further than they already have, either in scope or location, not without a good deal of research and consultation with other people. For reasons I’m not going to get into on tumblr.)

44. Something you like about your OCs in general

Experimenting. Hopefully growing as a writer and a person as I grow the characters, which means in some cases keeping only the barest bones of them because when I first created their stories, I did not do anywhere near enough research to do them justice, even as side characters.

10, 11, 29?

*tilts head, and looks at the questions* This is going to be difficult. Let’s see if I can figure out the first two questions enough to answer them.

(Also, I ended up making a list of OCs, and am currently quietly boggling at it. I keep forgetting how many people I made.)

For this set of questions.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?

As in how they look? Alaric and Tofa of the Mountains – start from a raven, elongate the torso, add an extra set of limbs, possibly a collarbone, or at least an extended ribcage and fun with keel/breastbone. Lengthen the neck, lengthen the tail. Longer talons on the hind legs, make the forelimbs more like hands, with shorter, blunter talons, and give them teeth and a raptor (dinosaur, not bird-of-prey) face.

Then make them about eight feet tall at the shoulder, turn most of the feathers to scales (the wings retain feathers, along the back including up the back of the neck, and across the top of the head).

Intelligence, language, culture – and all the trappings that come with that. And that’s just one of three different species of dragons on the world, each with a variation in appearances that’s as diverse as the humanity with which they share their world (which is to say, as diverse as our own world).

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

Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Most of my OCs have sharp edges that dim their cheerfulness or make it dangerous.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

Anne Morris. Although she probably wouldn’t go alone, she’d drag at least her partner with her, because Padrig is as much a curious adrenaline junkie as she is. And if either her cousin or half-brother are home, she’ll drag one or both of them, provided she could actually convince Audrey to come along without informing her of where they’re going. She is, after all, a bit more respectable than her hoyden cousin Anne.
