Gonna break the ice on this thread real quick to post my own OC
I put it in spoiler cuz it's real long o:
What world are they from? What is it like and how does their world compare to ours? What's similar, what's different?
Tim comes from a fictional world of my comic. His world is in many ways similar to ours but also very different. The world is heavily based on out world, the story goes that it actually is our world, but like 100000years in the future O_O Considering it’s the world of a funny comic, the world tends to be a bit more, let’s say eccentric than ours, more /everything goes/ type of world
If your OC came to our world, what would they think of it? What are the things they would notice the most?
If Tim came here, I think one of the things he’d have to get used to is that the time is shorter, days are shorter, weeks are shorter, people’s lives are shorter. But also the world is a lot bigger and it takes more time to get anywhere D:
He also comes from the world where there’s a severe lack of women, which is then compensated by a lot of men dressing up as women or switching genders. In our world, that’s not the case at all, and he’d be the weird one for dressing up as a woman. I mean he gets insecure enough about it in his world and doubts if that’s really what he wants to do, but holy shit you people just gotta be dicks about everything all the time don’t you :|
As a fashion enthusiast, he’d be somewhat saddened by all the “fast fashion”, fashion seems mostly dominated by a few large soulless corporations who exploit cheap 3rd world workforce and focus more on profits than creativity and pride of creating a beautiful piece of good quality clothing. Sure there are more expensive and better quality bands and fancy fashion designers but let’s face it, most of us are wearing cheap H&M jeans that will go to shit by the end of the year :T
Also, people in this world seem to be wayy out of touch with their god (or gods?). There’s bunch of religions and no one has any idea who or what god may or may not be, if he or she or they even exist. You may pray, you may sin, does it matter? no one knows. In Tim’s world, Glitter God and Satan are very much involved in people’s lives. You go to a temple you know why and for who, you make an offering and if the god likes it, he’ll help you. Go and do bad things, you’ll get punished. It’s pretty straight forward and everyone knows what’s up and what to do.
Families don’t seem to be as close either. Like, people don’t even marry their BFF, do you people even care about each other at all?
He’d also be traumatized by the fact that people eat animals, no such thing happens in his world O___O He’d have nightmares about this one for weeks O____o
What would they like? What would they dislike?
He would fall in love with Harajuku girls and be deeply disturbed most people /don’t/ dress up like that for every day.
He would probably get fixated on some or the other type of a cake or snack that doesn’t exist in his world.
He would think everyone in this world just seems more selfish and greedy in compare to his world.
What would they do if they came here? What places would they wanna visit?
Tim, I’m pretty sure Tim would want to visit big cities, especially fashion capitals, New York, Paris, Tokyo. It would be a good shopping trip and a chance to gather some ideas and inspirations for his own fashion design projects. He should absolutely come in time for Fashion Week :D
How would they fit in?
I think for just walking around and going to places, he’d fit in alright. Though his species is technically not entirely human, there’s no major noticable differences as long as no one tries to map his DNA or something. I can imagine him getting into some /man from Taured/ type of situation at some point if he was gonna travel between New York & Paris & Tokyo tho and he’d say some weird thing here and there if he was interacting with people, but he wouldn’t be ~completely~ out of place.
What would they learn from the experience of visiting our world, if anything?
After his visit to our world, I think Tim would appreciate his world more. There’s things he might take for granted in his everyday life, but after seeing our world, he’d make an offering to Glitter God and hug his BFF Nina and create a few new dresses he got inspired for during his trip to our world. He’s still thinking about that one really good cake thing or snack he tried here. He’ll have to come back one day.
