You WILL let me ask about your ocs. [temp closed]

Posted 3 years, 11 months ago (Edited 3 years, 6 months ago) by damascus

I am currently unable to keep up due to having moved, but I will come back to this thread when I can!

(holding out my hand) give me your OCs. Let me ask questions.

100% inspired by Trowa's super trendy post! It got me all hyped up to talk about my own OCs, and so I want to pay it forward to everyone else.

Pick one OC. Post IC, and I'll read through your OC's profile and find questions to ask you. It might take me some time, but I'll be sure to get back to everyone. Don't worry about how many people are ahead of you, I'll get to ya!

I’m amazed by the traction this thread got! We had over 250 posts when I unfortunately had to close it, and now I'm bringing it back! It’s so much fun to read profiles I might not have otherwise even found, and then get to dig deep into their backgrounds with questions! I have seen a couple of people say that they might want to ask me questions; this is 100% NOT required and if you just want to drop a character and come back to answer questions, you are valid in that!

But if you DO want to ask me about my characters in turn, I would recommend Apocalypse Tokyo! (Although you’re free to venture into others, of course!) This is just my active folder that I work on regularly. Or, if you want to ask about an underdeveloped world, "of the rising sun" is my new project. Once again, NOT required. No need to feel pressured to think something up!

Question:How did Caiden and Will bond?

Answer: Caiden had already felt a bit sympathetic for him when he had first rescued him, because he had a heart for children in distress (since he felt a lot of guilt for leaving his unborn child fatherless, and because he basically raised his younger brother) so it wasn't too hard for Caiden to go a bit soft on Will. But Will had a heart condition, and after having talked to each other and Caiden learning about Will's life back at home, he panicked when that condition acted up and called in one of his "favors" to a man who's life he spared (a doctor) and realized he had become attached to this child. And also, helping Will become more confident in his new identity right before they got back to his home life (even taking a few extra days on the trip to do so) pretty much sealed the bond.


Question: When Caiden became a substitute teacher, what grade(s) did he teach? What subjects were his favorites to teach?

Answer: He taught a few different grades, but he usually kept coming back to the Junior and Sophomore classes of several schools in the area. He really liked teaching history, especially Industrial Revolution and such.


Question: What was Caiden's young life like, before high school?

Answer:It was relatively normal for the most part, being a regular kid and doing kid things. He wasn't the most outgoing, but people still knew him and he knew his way around. Though the one thing that marked his childhood was the fact that he couldn't really seem to bond with anyone but his youngest brother, Cricket. He loved his father, but more in a respectful and dignified way, rather than most father-son bonds you see. He didn't get along with his step-mother, and he didn't know his real mother. His other siblings/cousins were tolerated, but he didn't socialize much with them.


Question: What caused his social ineptitude, and what skewed his moral code? Was it his first kill, or something else?

Answer: He was already slightly socially inept to begin with (loner type, but overall still headstrong and confident) but the first kill did sorta do it for him. Not necessarily because he felt guilty for taking a life, but knowing he had to drop everyone he actually cared about so they didn't get caught in the crossfire. He got super paranoid about sharing most details of his like, so as not to let anyone put the pieces of the puzzle together. He also felt for the first few months after he left that he'd burst and let everything out if he let someone know anything about him, so he took to a "vow of silence" and it caused a bit of a "don't speak unless spoken to" coping mechanism in him.


Question:Does he now see Will as a permanent feature in his life, or does he worry that their time together is quickly coming to an end?

Answer: He does have his worries, but now that Sloane and Will have pretty much brought him into their tiny family, he doesn't get too antsy about it. Sloane has always kept him around, he doesn't feel like he'll do anything to have him taken from Will. And he'd do anything to keep Will and Cricket permanently in his life, now that things are starting to balance out.

Why does Peter like underpants?
I'm gonna be honest with you here, it's most likely a fetish thing   

 What kind of movies does he make? 
He makes all sorts of different movies, his first major success was the movie Lord of the Fairies, a movie about a young man who one day falls into a hole where he meets his real father who is the lord of the fairies. Then he has to go on a journey to become a fairy and the next lord of the fairies. After that he started with a movie franchise Trans-Formers, a series of moveis about cross-dressing superheroes who must save the world form one or the other threat, that is currently at 5 episodes. He's also workig on a documentary series about fairies, with help of Cereal Killer, he did a lot of work on advertisments, so he's a very imaginative and versatile creator. 

How did Peter first find fairies?
Finding fairies isn't too much of a problem, especially if you know where to find them.   

What is his Imaginary Fairy?
Imaginary Fairy is basically just Peter's inner fairy - Every one have two inner fairies living in their head who control them (you know like those "my last two brain cells talking to each other" memes) - and through some unfortunate events, Peter lost one of his inner fairies and the remaining one had no idea what he's doing so he pushed the wrong button once or somehting and is now able to appear to Peter. No one but Peter can see him tho, so everyone just thinks he's imagining stuff   thus the name Imaginary Fairy

What instilled the virtue of hard work in Zahara? Was she like that as a kid as well, always seeking to help out? When was she at her angriest, what was happening? Why the dislike for hair on her face--does it make it harder to see what’s coming, is it a sensory issue, or just a preference? The dislike for crowds: is she agoraphobic, or just prefers not to be around too many people? Do she and Kismet ever snap at each other, now that they’ve reunited? Or do they do their best to get along and rebuild their relationship, silently quelling any issues that might arise?

I see that he’s from a world with at least one superhero. Does Jared have a superpower? Who is below Jared on the rungs of his organization? How does he treat them? How on earth did he get tricked into wearing that spandex suit for his first heist? Did he ever wear anything like that again or was it too embarrassing? Does he get annoyed being called Leopard Dash, or does it make him laugh? What IS Jared’s agenda; what does he intend to gain by being in the gang and committing crimes?

Why is he so handsome? Ok no, serious questions only: I see that he works at the Theta unit at CPN: What is that? Is this, say, the heaven crime investigation unit? Or does Eurelious work on earth solving crimes? What kind of crimes does he work on; and do they have a type they prefer to be put on? I.e. “the paperwork for this type is easier” or “I feel like I do more good for the world by working on this type.” Why does he dislike his family? When they do have to exorcise demons and spirits, what does that look like? Does Eurelious undergo any physical change during an exorcism, something that alters his appearance even temporarily? Does he have any nicknames, whether he likes them or not?

Engel is cute! His story is so sad. Did he blame himself for the incident because, had he not dragged his friends along, Jones would still be alive, or was there more to it? Had they fought and Jones had stormed off? Had he not been paying attention and Jones wandered away? How will Engel’s guilty psyche actually affect Jones; will it hurt physically, or warp him into something else? How is Engel going to help Jones move on? What inspired this story?

SkeleTelestic

Why the dislike of quiet; does it make him lonely when no one is around talking or making noise? In what ways is he overbearing; does he just care too much and get too involved? He seems very competitive; who is he competing against, whether it’s just in his head as a “contest” between them, or something spoken aloud? Has his honesty ever hurt anyone? If so, what was he honest about that time? Is his race common, where he’s from or where he lives now? Does he ever face trouble from people who are unfriendly towards Laurelles? How does he respond?

damedanbo   Love the questions! 

I Imagine it to be very difficult too, however, back in the day, Oiran held a very powerful and important, respected position in social ranks, and girls trained from a young age to be even considered for that kind of position. They’re taught how to walk and carry themselves properly, including on those kind of shoes, how to properly wear clothes, and different entertaining skills (singing, playing instruments, dancing, etc.) so they’re quite well adapted to those types of shoes. 

Megumi was so well trained, as evident by her former status, so she’s used to moving around in those Geta, and therefore doesn’t really stumble around. She is also capable of drinking a ton of alcohol, so for the most part she will barely be tipsy after a night of drinking. The only time it would be difficult is when she’s truly drunk, but she doesn’t let it get that far, and might only do that at home. 

Her nickname comes from a few different things; most flowers that bloom only at night give off a fantasticly pleasant smell, which I kinda linked to the fact Megumi and her people are there to make sure customers have a good time, drinking and eating. Most of this happens at night, since people start drinking in the evening, and leave somewhere during the night or morning, so they have a pleasant night there with friends, coworkers or co-conspirators. Another reason being that these flowers are very beautiful, but you don’t really see that beauty until they’re in bloom at night. While Megumi has a lot of physical beauty, you don’t really see the subtle things she does (the inner beauty) until you really get to know her (such as taking in women who are having a hard time, giving them a job and a place to stay, etc.). And lastly, because some of the flowers that bloom at night (such as the night blooming Jessamine) are poisonous, which just links back to how she poisons people that get in her way xD She basically just does her thing at night, and closes up during the day. I also just really liked how it sounded, though, so I ended up not taking too long to name her that xD 

Her eye color was just a design choice, I really got into the idea for orange and gold for her, and thought a combo would be such a great and beautiful choice for her. Very rich and fancy, very pretty yet mysterious and different from what my other ocs have! ^^ 

Most of the Night Flower package’s ‘promotion’ is people mentioning it to others. Say someone needs information on his business partner whom they believe is double crossing them, they might discuss the problem with a buddy they have who has ties to the underground or, the total opposite, the military, and the friend might mention that the person to talk to is Megumi. The stuff usually involves more serious and/or dangerous matters, such as actual military secrets they want to sell to Europeans, or the Chinese (her timeline is the Meiji era). The first few customers that have been offered the service, however, have gotten the deal straight from Megumi herself. She heard them complain about certain things while drunk, and remembered hearing a soldier for the Shogun mention it a week earlier. She then just offered to give them a little information, for the right price. A few weeks later, one of those customers tried to rat her out. She found out, and (this brings me to your next question) casually poisoned them with her home made stuff, and they died. This kind of incident, where someone turned their back on her after getting their information, only happened about 2 or 3 times, and only during early times. It earned her the name Night Flower, eventually, and since ‘newcomers’ are unaware who the Night Flower truly is, they actually came up with it being a ‘package’ within the restaurant, as they simply confused it with being a deal rather than a person, and Megumi just went with it, and ended up truly naming the package the Night Flower Package. But she never advertises it as such, or even as a thing you can buy at her restaurant. These days, everything is very underground, and very hush hush, so the only way for people to find out it’s a thing, is if they’ve been given the package as a ‘recommendation’ from someone they know. The other hostesses/employees will always deny its existence, in case people heard it through some kind of rumor. If the person is serious, they will get Megumi to deal with it herself. She then decides whether or not it’s happening. Megumi also has many eyes and ears everywhere, mainly women, and if someone double crosses her, she will definitely kill them with poison. 

She came up with the idea for poison as a weapon because she was taught by her father at a young age about plants and herbs, mostly for healing purposes at the time. She ended up reading a ton of books on them in her free time, and realized she was very good at recognizing different plants and herbs, and began playing around more with different kinds of remedies. Eventually, she was taught a little about poison by her father, and got quite good at making them. Especially after being attacked by the brothel owners, and having her father killed, she couldn’t think of anything other than revenge. And for her, during that situation, the easiest way to get it done, was by poisoning them. She was physically very weak to begin with and still is, so striking them with a knife or something else would not only be obvious and easy to spot, but it she also wouldn’t be strong enough to actually pull it off. However, she remembered the poisons she had made before, and the experimenting she’d done when her father was alive, and decided that was the easiest way to get rid of them and free herself. As she grew older, she dabbled more into poisons, herbs and plants, and eventually created her own poison, which she still uses today; the Night Phlox.

What makes Carol so confident? Was she always that way? why the change from kidcore to eboy--did they just want to seem more grown up? Where does her love of insects come from? Why the dislike for confined spaces--is it a phobia, or just a general discomfort?

Thank you so much for the questions!

A lot of Carol's confidence comes from her parents, her father who is a racer and has to stay on top of himself to stay levelheaded when engaged in his hobby and her mother who struggles with self confidence and doesn't want her daughter to go through the same thing. She wasn't always this way and was more prone to bullying and didn't learn to defend herself until she was encouraged to by her father (which her mother doesn't approve of).

The change was in fact from wanting to be more grown up! As her personality changed, she no longer desired to wear things that looked childish and wanted a style that fit her as a growing teenager. Although she doesn't actively participate in the aesthetic much, she does enjoy how it looks and aligns with it the most. Grunge could also accurately describe her style.

Her love of insects came from her mother since she was a gardener. Much of her information came from what insects were good in a garden and which were bad, but Carol didn't really enjoy killing bugs just because they were bad and vouched to either keep them for herself and "teach them not to mess up mommy's flowers" or lead them away from their home.

The dislike for confined spaces is a phobia, but she brushes it off as a discomfort because she hates the idea of being and feeling weak. She thinks she's beyond that now that she knows how to defend herself, but that doesn't really work with closed spaces, does it?

lmao
theta unit is a unit at CPN agency. it's a paranormal unit. there are other units where one of them takes care of crimes amongst various of places or things (interdimensional rules breaking for example). he does in fact work on earth because the paranormal happens down there. he's an exorcist, and he basically works with his partner cecil and they investigate haunted places and take action

he likes what he's doing, he's been in touch with the paranormal since he was born because of his "curse" and so he thinks that's what he's best at
the family part needs to be worked on it's all freshly out of the oven kkskskks i just think that he dislikes them because he doesn't feel appreciated at all, especially by his father. something like kronk and his papa from emperor's new groove except eurelious isn't as positive and hoppity happity as kronk

i like to think he's often called eurel by cecil. also him being called just "e" by the rest of his coworkers seems cool too. or "e. o."
