I'm doing this. Slight spoilers for Issues of the dirt, not that any of you care about that though.
01
Oldest OC I've come back to recently is Dimidium, a parody of shitty OC we all made as kids. He's half demon, half angle and has sOmE BagGagE
02
Newest OC is Slime from Issues Of The Dirt, just a cavedwelling slimeguy. Made him up a few days ago.
03
Fave OC is hard to decide. Probably Sally, a roomate of RITUALS' protagonists ex where he crashes for a few nights. She's altered her appearence with rituals to look kinda sharklike (not the worst use of bodymods in the story) She is pretty good at sarcastic banter
04
Fave OC design is another character called Dimidium, from Space Thing. Mostly goes by Dim though. She's half human, half alien
05
Main reason for making OC's. Well, I mostly wanna tell stories and those need characters, so...
06
Character creation process
Mostly come up with a setting first, then plot and characters happen at the same time
07
I don't ship my OCs with someone elses.
08
Fav OC ship is my main character from Rituals with his Ex Bino. They broke up because she needed to end a chapter in her life, and they clearly still have chemistry. Very broken relationship, but interesting to play with.
09
Weirdest OC
For Issues of the dirt, I made a characters that is just 1327 worms forming a body. It is implied they only have one consciousness but seperate dreams.
10
Villain Ocs
Some of my favs are villains. I think I'm pretty good at writing villains. Won't go further.
11
I wouldn't consider myself to be nice to my characters at all. Cruel, even. I mostly write to kinda process my own baggage so a lot of shitty stuff happens to them.
12
Rootgirl. She's introduced by saying she's gonna die, and she does. Gets to be shown around the dirtworld first, though
13
None of my Ocs are parents. Wanted to make one pregnant, but I'm not too sure about that.
14
I find myself neglecting most of my projects, and therefore all characters attached to those.
15
A character that's hard to write is, again, Alex' Ex Bino from Rituals, mainly because I don't wanna piss off or even hurt anyone by representing any aspect of being a survivor of abuse wrong.
16
Talles/Shortest OC
I don't really think about that too much, but Dim is pretty tall due to her anatomy, and Chloe, a fellow alien-mutt, walks on four 'feet' so I guess that counts as short...
17
Oldest/Youngest OC
Again, I don't think that much about it, but since most characters from Issues of the deep are humanoid representations, I'll just say rockface is pretty old, and the second rootgirl only jumps concious in a strip I'll release in two weeks or something
18
Do I dislike any of my OC's?
Most characters in Rituals are shitty young adults that make mistakes and grow, so by the start of it they're all shitheads.
19
I realize they're all shitheads, and I stand by that, but most of the central five characters of Rituals each have an aspect of myself (except for one of the villains)
20
OC regret
I made an nb character in Rituals thats fairly bland, if you read it you might even think I just put them in for representation(even though I didn't). I guess I'm gonna give them a little more character, and the way I planned the story, they get more entangled in it
21
An OC I didn't think would get popular
None of my OC's got any attention since, like, one person read any of my work, so I can't really answer that. Will check back once Issues Of The Dirt takes off and I have a million followers who all give me constructive criticism, though!
22
An OC I didn't expect myself to love
A big spoiler for Rituals, but there's an incredibly petty thing and I only later realized that I would've done the same thing at, like, 15 or something, so I guess that counts.
One thing this thread did was show me that there is actual potential behind at least the idea of the characters of Rituals that I kinda wasted with my awkward writing, so I guess I might go back and do some editing on that project maybe?
