Bump
Basically I need to develop my characters that I'm hoping to make a pilot for some day and the best way for that is to have people ask me questions
Ask me a question and I'll reply with an answer and a question for your OC :)
Here's the characters I need developed more
(you guys please answer the questions I ask you too if you feel like it, I'm genuinely interested in your characters)
What are Vera's origins? Why and how did she joined to the circus? Is she a seamonster or a siren by any chance? Can she hypnotize people with her voice? What is her favorite music genre, and what genre she sings in? Can she play on any instruments?
She was human like most other people, in the 1920s. Guillermo brought her there, I can't say too much because I'm hoping to do a show out of these guys and don't wanna spoil lol And she was themed after a siren but she's something different, more human than monster. She cannot hypnotize anyone, she just sings. And she enjoys 50s pop even though that was after her time. She sings in a speakeasy-esque venue so she sings those kinds of songs. She can amateurly play the piano, someone else plays it while she sings.
Question: is the dr that made him inspired by the weyland-yutani company from Alien because it's giving me those vibes- also did the doctor have a specific goal in mind or was the goal a broad "create life"?
Answer: I actually never saw the movie, so no xd but I'm planning on watching it. I came up with him from my own head. Dr. Antonio was always obsessed with the idea of creating non-biological life, and he actually wanted to invent a new species with it. Prototype was his first big success. He planned on making more of Prototype's kind, but despite using the same methods for it, he couldn't replicate Prototypye. Maybe if he had more time he could've. But to his unfortune he turned into a cryptid monster before he could continue his search. He wanted to make a super intelligent lifeform to controll over, however he didn't planned much further than that.
For Kitty Kitty: Do his heads fight ever?
For Topsy: Was he born without arms, or did he loose them (if he lost them, how?)? How much would he say it limits his trapeze routines with his sister?
For Turvey: What's her relationship with her brother like? (I also love how she has 4 arms while her brother has none, I think its pretty neat!)
Also, I would 100% watch a show based off of these guys!! It seems like it'd be super interesting :0
Shadowpaw_123_ OO that's so cool :0 and DEFINITELY watch alien (and aliens) if you can, they're really good and I think you'd like em based off of your OC :)
dino_the_rex thanks :D I'm still trying to figure out where to start and which medium I'm gonna use but it's definitely a goal :D
And the heads will have little scuffles and maybe nip at each other but it's nothing serious since they both share a body and can't effectively fight fight. Usually they'll both realize they can't really do anything and give up the fighting lol
Topsy was born that way and the only character to stay unchanged since joining the carnival! He wouldn't really say it limits him since he's never had hands to lose in the first place, so he uses his legs. And Turvey's relationship with him is good, she's been his main source of help for things before Guillermo gave him prosthetics and she still helps him with his performance makeup and other tasks if he asks for it. Outside helping him with tasks, they just have a close sibling bond. They have completely different interests outside of trapeze but still manage to get along.
Question: First of all I love goat characters- does Mark ever file/polish his horns? Does his neck hurt? And what happened to his dad?
Ooo interesting! And thank you!
Mark doesn't file or polish his horns, he just leaves them be. He does have some neck pain, but he's gotten used to it over time. He also does some exercises and junk to properly support his head/horns, and has been since they first started growing! As for what happened to his father, that's a bit darker so I'll put it in a spoiler ^^
Short version: Mark's family has a history of depression, and he got it from his father! His dad had it worse, and spent most of his life thinking about taking his life. They struggled to make ends meet for most of Marks life as well, with his father working long hours at 3 different jobs, and his mom taking on work once he was in school. It led to a lot of burnout and that, on top of his depression, was pushing him almost to his breaking point. He was doing his best for Mark and Mark's mom, but he finally reached his limit when the highest paying job downsized, leaving him constantly trying to make ends meet. He felt worthless and that his family would be better off without him, so he finally put into motion what he'd thought about for years.
