Ask 5 Questions to the Above Person's OC!

1. I offer to pay a large amount for one of his paintings, cash in hand, excitedly. What does Eli do?
Eli would sell you his paintings and quickly run with the money before you'd come to your senses. He's shy to show his work but money is money.

2. Eli unexpectedly gets the day off from work, but no one else is available. How does he spend his day?
He'd go to the movie and stuff himself up in sushi buffet and probably text his friends how good everything is but would be so much better if he wasn't alone.

3 Most dangerous magic event he's investigated? On the flip side, LEAST dangerous one?
Least is like 80% of every call he gets. Usually it's like a little pocket of raw magic that just pops causing a mild phenomena. Like one lady's garden flowers changed color according to the song playing in the radio. Most dangerous, though, Eli finds the untrained users the most dangerous. Magic is a tool, so as with any tool people have to learn how to use it, and if they don't they can hurt themselves or the others. At the very top on danger meter is the extremely powerful creatures/people who have no clue how to control their power.

4. How much importance does his appearance have to him?
Appearance in general is very important to him since he's mute and for him his looks are his voice. And he likes to be loud. Does his appearance have to be just as it is? No, it changes as Eli does but it matters to him how he looks.

5 Any type of magic/mage he fears above all?
Eli couldn't do what he does if he was afraid of magic. But anything that alters either time or reality scares him the most. There are things mortals shouldn't touch.

Thank you for your questions! These were great!

1. For Kai and Audemus' relationship, what is the most common form of acceptable violence between them? (Props if you can answer if it's sexual or not too)

The other facet of their violence can come into play intimately, but I won’t go into it. What they do is neither safe nor sane, but it is consensual. And Audemus can reverse any and all damage he might do.

Their relationship is monstrous but they are very careful to keep it to themselves. From Audemus’ perspective (though he would never say it): “There is a monster inside of me and Kai feeds it and it grows, and I don't care but I really do. I didn't, not for a long while, but now I wonder if I might not someday be a threat to my family, to Oskar or Atalie.” (He wouldn’t, but he doesn’t know that for certain—that’s where fear comes into play.)

2. What is Audemus' favorite theatrical play? Does it hold any importance to him beyond being just a play?
I don’t actually have any examples of any plays that have been created thus far in the universe that these characters are a part of! The ‘Lowtown theater’ bit was added in as more of an inside joke than anything else, referencing the weird theater scene that Oskar is a fan of. Audemus isn’t a huge theater person (maybe attending one or two Hightown productions per year) but from what he’s heard of the chaos of Lowtown theater shows, he knows he’d never want to attend. They are crowded, rowdy affairs that sometimes involve the unleashing of a literal live goose on stage. 

I’m not a theater person either so I can’t say what Audemus would like in terms of our world—only that he would not enjoy Jekyll & Hyde.

3. What is the strangest thing that Audemus said in his pursuit of knowledge in medical necromancy and why was it said?
I’ll admit, this one’s been a real head-scratcher for me. My partner thinks it would be something along the lines of “Pickled liver is far more aromatic than spleen,” or “Formaldehyde is perfume for the deceased.” I suggested, “The soul is irrelevant,” (in a world in which souls are very much real and hold significant sway in basically all forms of spellcasting) or “Flesh is no obstacle to the mind’s will.” None of these are the perfect example, but it’s kind of a ‘sky’s the limit’ sort of deal when it comes to Audemus: engineer a specific enough situation and you could get him saying all sorts of wacky, morbid things.

4. I know it's said that Audemus' doesn't talk about his backstory, has there ever been any point where this has actively hurt him, bet it physically or mentally, or hell even socially? 
Audemus’ best friend is a (now) ex-prostitute by the name of Brandy; a woman who saved his life when he was 19 years old. Brandy created what we would call a support group: a club for survivors of various traumatic experiences… one which Audemus would certainly have benefited from psychologically. But because of his crippling inability to talk about his own experiences, he has not joined the group. 

At the same time, talking about his experiences has also backfired on him. In confiding in Kai, Audemus unknowingly gave Kai the excuse he needed to outright assassinate Audemus’ noble parents. Kai did this for selfish reasons—Audemus was their sole heir—but he could use a veneer of revenge as justification. Audemus did not want his parents assassinated, nor did he want to take up the title of Lord. 

It’s very much a "damned if you do, damned if you don’t" type situation in Audemus’ mind.

5. Has Audemus ever been scared of losing Oskar? If so, what was the event that brought up those feelings? 
Oskar, 18, ran home one night with part of his skull beaten in. The assailant was someone Oskar at the time loved and trusted. As a surgeon and healer Audemus was able to save Oskar’s impacted eye—performing emergency surgery on the dining room table—but his injuries not only nearly cost him half his vision, but his very life. 

This was a terrifying moment for Audemus: the confirmed realization that Oskar was just as vulnerable as Audemus was at his age. Audemus can struggle with relating to and connecting with other people, but this incident hit a bit too close to home—both literally and metaphorically—and it forced him to try and step up in a way he’d never had to before.

Has he ever been close to being caught for his father's death? Or has he been entirely on the run ever since, evading the law?

Short answer is: It’s a well-known secret that Zach killed his father, but everyone in the small hunting town they were apart of knew that his father was an abusive bastard, so it wasn’t any loss to them.

Long answer: Zachariah was on the run at first, but it was mostly his own fears that put him on the run for that particular crime. He actually encountered a few of his father’s old hunting buddies who alerted him to the fact that everyone sorts of knew he had killed his father, but the question that everyone had was if he had killed the rest of his family as well. Most of the men just wanted to know he was doing well cuz they had grown fond of him as his dad would take him on hunting trips that would often include these men.

Sure there are a few who think that he killed the rest of his family, but ultimately they stick to where they are and so long as Zach stays the FUCK away from them, well he ain’t likely to be shot by them! And even then it’s like 2-3 people who were really close with the OLD version of his father. Once the alcoholism started, it was like a switch was flipped in his father’s brain and he was never the same.

What time period is he living in? There's so much versatility with writing cowboys!

So, for Zach and Amelia I currently have them around the 1860s-1900. So somewhere in that period. I’ve sort of picked around 1866 or so.

Why was he shot in the desert? Did the bandits betray him or did something go wrong?

Short Answer: The leader of the group of outlaws shot him.

Long Answer: So Zach was a really fucked up person when he joined the bandits, he had just recently killed a person and it made him question if he could kill again, and the short answer to that was yes. His time with the outlaws were spent stealing and killing (often needing to kill people who were fatally shot, but ultimately were left for dead by the others, he’d just kill them outright out of mercy.)

Well, the leader of the trope quite fancied this woman, however Zach saw her as an annoyance that was slowing down the group, but ultimately it was another one of the other bandits that took to shooting the pretty thing and Joseph blamed Zach and after a lot of yelling he just outright show Zach and left him for dead. He was shot in the chest and point blank range, but by the grace of gd he managed to survive

Is Amelia a lover to him?

Ehehe! Yes, Amelia in the long run does become his lover, she was his savior and he treasures her deeply, would do anything for her even if that means leaving for good. Their relationship is the healthiest that Zach has ever been apart of, sure they have their ups and downs, but they make it work and that’s what counts.

Has he ever gotten back into contact with any of his siblings? What were his relationships with them?

Sadly his siblings perished at the hands of Zach’s father, but when they were alive he was sort of like their father figure more than he was a brother due to how mature he would act and how he often taught them what he knew (His father thought his siblings weak due to them being sickly) He even taught them how to shoot! He still blames himself for their deaths and often has nightmares about their mutilated bodies.

1. What exactly motivate her to remain in the team? Is it the youngsters that she feel responsible of mentoring? A sense of ego of being the leader? Or something else entirely?

Tzeitel's is a whole knew crew since everyone else is gone, and she really does enjoy being a mentor and in some cases even a mother figure. She's a very good leader, and she knows she's skilled at it. It's not really an ego exactly, it's more like something she just enjoys. She likes the team environment/dynamic. 

2. Has she ever dyed her hair in a different color? If not, has ever considered it, and to change her whole outfit to match?

She totally would, but she's been blonde for a veeeery long time. Her natural hair is black, and that's the only two hair colors she's had. She's definitely thought about other things, but just never did it. 

3. Does she actually cry easily, or better at repressing them? If it's the latter, when was the last time that she cried? In her current life stage, what could invoke her tears?

Tzeitel is very good at repressing her emotions, but there are a few circumstances where she'd crack. The last time she had like a good cry was when her and Scarlett split and cut each other off. Most of the other times she cried was when someone she'd known - mainly someone directly in her crew - passed away. 

4. In a what-if scenario where Hadassah survived, would her relationship with Scarlett remained? Would there be a possibilty that a different reason be the cause of their split up?

This is interesting to think about because I actually just designed Hadassah and I'm going to be putting her on here soon...I think Scarlett and Tzeitel would've still eventually split, though it'd be later. I'll elaborate a little more with the last question!!

5. How did she grew close to Scarlett in the first place? Were their relationship that compatible? What exactly that made her prefers to remain as just friends with Scarlett before their split up, despite knowing Scarlett's feelings?

Scarlett and Tzeitel were friends as teens, and they grew really close when trying to build up a crew before they actually turned 18 and were able to participate. They have enough different and enough in common to have a very strong relationship, and Scarlett really likes authority figures...
Tzeitel is demiromantic, so she simply just didn't reciprocate Scarlett's feelings, she didn't see her as 'the one' and didn't ever fall in love with her. Tzeitel still hasn't really found a romantic interest. Scarlett actually never properly confessed either, it was something unspoken. Both of them just knew, and they knew it'd be awkward if it was ever brought up.

1. I'm not too familiar with Homestuck stuff (which is a shame as I've been interested in it for the longest time), so is there an explanation on what the fuschia blood is? Is it common for those who possess this blood caste or type to have an abnormality? Is it a fanmade sort of category, or..?

Fucshia is the highest blood caste in troll society in Homestuck. In canon, all fucshia blood are women, and only one exist at a time, with the heiress eventually challenging the current Empress to a duel for the throne. For my version, there are multiple heirs fighting each other for the throne instead! They are hella overpowered in canon, which is why they are the only caste that can be the ruler; so Mehmet being nerfed is abnormal canon-wise. I want his strength to be his wit and charisma :3c

2. Was there any specific memory that he remembers in terms of being perceived as weak or being looked down upon that stuck to him badly? Was it from someone he was close to? Was what they said struck the biggest chord imaginable?

I haven't fleshed him out too much, but I did based him on how fucshia blood acted in canon. They are emotionally-driven trolls with a notable size of ego. His mistreatments definitely add fuel to his fire, but I like to imagine that even if his upbringing were kinder, he would still turn out as arrogant, maybe the only difference is that he'll more obvious about it instead.

3. Speaking of people close to him - does Mehmet even have anybody he trusts in some way aside from his loyal dog? has he cared for someone in an emotional manner at all or is he quite the selfish person through and through? Is he able to feel more than just... spite?

The second, and only other troll he trust his back too is a friend of theirs, who is a cobalt blood celebrity. Their dynamic is basically ‘mutual destruction’, they have blackmail over one another and can ruin each other with them. They both have trust issues, but having this blackmail materials give the two a sense of safety. If they're going down, at least the other will too. Mehmet doesn't ‘care’ for her, per se; but there is a sense of respect and understanding.

4. Since he seems to enjoy using... creative ways in taking out the heirs, this is going to sound kinda bad LOL but is there any specific method that he remembered the most...?

Definitely the one that takes the longest to accomplish. Mehmet takes great pride in planning out someone's downfall, and would even make a whole timeline and backup and double backup plan for it. I imagine it's the one that involve three phase of ruining someone, start from killing their reputation, then their loved ones and lastly they themselves. It's even more satisfying if the victim take themselves out, the sadistic streak in him would rejoice at it.

5. Does Mehmet's dog have a name, and if so, what is it - or does he refuse to name it just because?

Oh haha, his ‘dog’ is not actually a literal dog. It's his right hand man, Rumeli Horati, whom he treated like a well-trained dog, hence the objectifying term. But really, Mehmet has actually developed feelings for Rumeli, but he doesn't recognize it as what it actually is, and instead treat it as a nuisance, which later on drive him to distant himself from Rumeli by further treating him badly.
