• If your oc was to host a TV show, what would it be about? Would your oc be good at it? What sorts of guests would appear?
I'm really not sure, but I'm leaning towards being the host for something sort of like a tiny desk concert deal with Dolly.
A short interview with the artist(s), and then a small music setup deal without having to do too much talking each episode.
She'd be okay at it but she'd rather actually be the singer in a concert than be a TV host.
• Can your oc play any instruments? Have they ever wanted to learn how to play any? Why?
April can play a little bit of guitar, but only knows some of the basics. She would like to learn because she loves music and Dolly plays guitar, but she's happy with just being a singer. Between April's job, her friendships, video games, and singing, finding time to squeeze in learning a new skill isn't a top priority right now.
• If you were to choose another name for your oc, what do you think it would be? Did you choose it for how it sounds or for its meaning?
I chose it for it being a month in Spring because I'm corny as HECK.
I'm not really sure what name I would pick, though. There weren't any other names considered, she was just "PBD" or "Person Behind Door" before.
• How does your oc fare in the dark? Are they scared? Do they trip over things really easily or navigate like they have night vision? (Or do they have night vision?)
April has night vision and is prefers the dark because she's sensitive to bright environments. She wears sunglasses even indoors a lot because she gets overstimulated.
• How well would your oc fare as a teacher? What subject would they be best at teaching? What about the worst?
April is pretty good at teaching hand-to- hand and weapons combat and has done so a bit for her job in security for the Red Queen. It's what she has the most training in, so it is her best topic.
She would hate and not be good at teaching something like English classes.
• What was your oc’s relationship with their parents like? If they didn’t have any parents/didn’t know them, who in their life was the closest to a parent to them?
I haven't fully fleshed out April's mom yet but I believe she's passed. April loves her mom, but as a single parent in a poor area, April's mom didn't often have a lot of time to spend with April and April was home by herself a lot. There was awkwardness and discomfort on April's end when she was young because of her mom trying to raise her femininely, not out of any disapproval of April but just ... out of default. But otherwise, they were both more or less supportive of each other to the best of their understanding and loved each other.
• Does your oc have any allergies, intolerances, or other sensitivities? How dangerous is it? Does this affect their daily life in any way?
April's mildly allergic to apples. It's not a huge deal, but apple pectin and juice shows up in weird stuff which can make things needlessly complicated.
• Does your oc prefer being in a crowd or being completely alone? How many people can be around them before they get uncomfortable?
April definitely prefers a crowd. She's an outgoing extrovert who needs lots of physical contact and is usually happiest when in group settings and loves things like concerts and karaoke bars.
In order for it to be the amount of people making her uncomfortable and not the social dynamic itself, I guess when you start getting to the level of people that you don't have much space to move around in (especially if it's more like a party and not like a concert).
• How easily does your oc make friends? Do they have difficulty talking to new people? Why?
Words are hard, April is crass and blunt, and people are confusing. However, she's ALSO confident and outgoing.
This has very mixed results and depends heavily on the sort of people around.
• How open is your oc to trying new things? Are they the adventurous sort, or would they rather stay in their comfort zone? Why?
April is pretty adventurous and wants the mental stimulation and thrill of new experiences, even if she might also be fussy.
Comfort zones can also be nice when stressed and tired, though.
• What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to your oc? Do they still feel ashamed for it? Were there any witnesses?
I HAVE NO IDEA
• Does your oc have any best friends? Who was/is their closest friend? What about their worst enemy?
Her BFF is Dolly, and she's dating Isaac and Tabitha.
Worst enemy is everyone in the Red Queen's group who's been awful to her and also the rival group that attacked. There may be a #1 person there somewhere, but I don't know.
She's had toxic friends and at least one partner in the past, but they're not exactly "enemies."
• How dangerous is your oc? Are they completely innocent, or someone to be feared? Do others know?
April is a vigilante supervillain who has worked for a non-vigilante supervillain group for a long time so you tell me.
• What is your oc’s vision like? Do they require glasses, are they completely blind, or do they have 20/20 vision? Does this have an effect on their life?
She has pretty good vision and doesn't need glasses other than sunglasses.
• What is your oc’s favourite time of day? Why is this? Do they have a daily practice during this time?
April prefers nighttime, after the sun's gone down, because she's light sensitive and nocturnal. However, her schedule fluctuates a lot so having specific daily routines for specific times of day is hard.
• How often does your oc lie? Why is that? What was the biggest lie they’ve ever told?
April has definitely lied a lot about her job. Growing up poor, I'm sure she lied about a lot of normal things like why she didn't have certain things other people did or whatever.
April isn't dishonest in general per se, but she isn't fazed by having to lie, either.
I don't know about the biggest lie.
• How well can your oc keep secrets? Is there a difference between how they handle their own vs someone else’s? To what lengths would they go to keep something hidden?
April can keep secrets well but would only go to extreme lengths if she was aware it was important enough to warrant that, like for a friend's safety.
• How does your oc fare in an emergency situation? Do they panic, do they freeze, do they take charge?
April takes charge.
• If your oc were to be arrested for something, what would it be for? For being too kind, for a legitimate crime?
I mean she used to work security for a big name supervillain and now she's a vigilante supervillain so
• What is your oc’s personal hygiene like? Is it important to them? What is their daily routine for this like?
April tries to get in a shower after workouts. She's pretty clean when she can be because gross fur sucks.
• Are there any public events your oc would love to go to? Concerts, plays, movies, parties, etc? What about ones that they would hate? Why?
April loves concerts, movies, parties, karaoke.... just being out and doing stuff in a more casual setting with people. However, she doesn't like more formal events and feels very out of place at them.
• How quiet or loud is your oc? Are they easily capable of sneaking around without being heard, or do they feel it’s impossible to stop talking?
April can be pretty loud, but she's capable of lowering her volume and not talking if needed.
• How difficult is it for your oc to get to sleep? Do they fall asleep the moment they hit the pillow, or do they have insomnia? Any reason why?
April is pretty well versed in making herself go to sleep but she has a lot of nightmares so sleep isn't necessarily restful.
• How dramatic is your oc? Do they make a big deal over every little thing, or do they fail to react to even the most crazy of events?
April definitely leans towards drama boat, partly out of frustration and partly out of just plain drama.
• How does your oc handle being sick? Do they pretend not to be? Do they complain a lot? How susceptible to getting sick are they?
April's whiny when sick. Her high stress levels make her fairly susceptible.
• How stylistically fancy is your oc? Or would they rather go for comfort and plainness instead?
April prefers casual comfort with a splash of edge. "Fancy" is not a word that resonates with her.
• What’s your oc’s preferred mode of transportation? Walking, vehicle, (or in a sci-fi/magic setting) teleportation?
Driving when possible. She doesn't currently have vehicle right now but she prefers it.
• Is your oc always late, always early, or always right on time? Is there any reason for this?
More or less punctual. It depends on the level of importance and the day.
• How empathetic is your oc? Any reason why?
Empathy is a physical body reaction sooo the answer to "why" is usually an inherent thing
April is typically fairly empathetic and generally tries to be understanding of people. Although, her occupation and requires her to develop a bit of a numbness when in work mode, but it's not impenetrable.
• How much does your oc swear? Or do they keep completely clean? Why is this? Is there any situation where they would be the opposite?
April swears all the dang time. She can limit the amount she swears in a more professional setting when needed, but she has a very hard time just not swearing because it's a force of habit now.
• What is your oc’s sense of humour like? What do they find funny? Do they try to be funny? Are they actually?
I don't know she's a big hecking dork
• Is your oc a pacifist, or someone who picks fights? Why? In what situations would they be the opposite?
April is definitely not a pacifist. She's a feisty little critter.
• How does your oc’s own perception of themselves compare to how other people see them? Is your oc aware that other people see them differently (if it’s different)?
I DON'T KNOW
• How easily does your oc throw something away? As soon as something is through with its usefulness, or are they more like a hoarder? Is there a reason?
April generally has a hard time getting rid of things, but can if it's necessary for safety. She doesn't have an overabundance of stuff, though.
• Is your oc a workaholic, or do they find it hard to be busy at all? Do they find it easy to relax, or must they have something to do at all times? Why?
Relaxing can be hard but she's not solely absorbed in work either.
• What is your oc’s ideal night out like? Or would they rather spend it at home?
Any number of things. But going out to a concert or movie or whatever outing with a group of friends is the ideal.
• How picky is your oc? Will they not accept something because of the smallest details being off, or do they not care in the slightest? Why?
Depends on the situation. If we're talking gear or something, she would definitely err on the side of pickiness. But as fussy as she can be she's usually more or less chill.
• How energetic is your oc? Do they have trouble sitting still or do they feel low on juice all the time? Any reason why?
April needs a lot of stimulation and to move a lot and I... guess could be considered energetic? She's tired and bitter a lot, too, though.
• Is it difficult for your oc to focus, or do they have no trouble being in the moment? Do they daydream or zone out?
April either hyperfocuses or has a hard time focusing, depending on the situation and topic at hand. She can zone out and daydream sometimes.
• How humble is your oc? Or are they closer to royal in their self-perception? Why? Is this obvious to others?
April does think she's hot stuff and takes pride in her skillset and ... self. She's definitely more towards vain than humble and is self righteous, but she's also not falling into narcissism, either. She cares about others AND knows she's pretty awesome and can sometimes be an ass.
