💡 Why does your OC exist (in meta)?

 I had a character in an old heaven/hell rp who was angelic as heck and living in, well, heck. His lover was insisting he needed a guardian and protector and while out in the wilds of a demonic kingdom, he stumbled across a gryphon who had been wounded. That gryphon returned again and again out of debt and fealty to him and became his own character the longer he was played.

Flash point 10 years later, that angel is ditched in the wayside by Sei'ku here has been through various character cycles in different verses and styles and is one of the closest characters to my heart

Pretty much for my ocs:

• I want to make music ocs
• I want a yandere oc
• (With a design already made) let's make him a crossdresser
• I want magical boy like ocs (not on here yet lol)
• I want chem ocs too
• I wanna make a astronomer oc
• Let me make a friend for this now
• What would this ocs parent look like

Gail was originally an ice element character- I’ve powers etc. it’s been so long I don’t remember why I wanted that, likely because my super first OC controlled fire.  I repurposed her for a 1920s noir rp that never went anywhere so she just kind of became a floater character for me. She’s had anthro forms and generally was always some kind of Norse mythology based magical character.

Eventually she came up in RP again with someone I dated in college who had a very similar character (and this was like...12 years ago) and it all just blew up from there. 

With Jason, I saw an image of a dude with extreme 70s hair (I can't find the image as I never saved it anywhere) and I liked it. I ended up tweaking his hair and he ended up evolving into my metalhead with resting bitchface.

Some of my other characters are a result of me messing around with character design (usually on the Gaia Online avatar builder) and accidentally creating designs I liked (examples are Bean, Liberty & Maxie) . Gabe and Brooks were created because I find long haired ginger dudes aesthetically pleasing.

I wanted to make someone super hideous. Just really gnarled and miserable looking. Something that might almost be painful to look at. I already had Phayne as a character but I had no concept of what he looked like yet- so I decided to put the two and two together, to make Phayne the hideous beast that he is today. And I love him. He's my beautiful fugly boi.

Ohh with that being said, I also had the desire to commission FACEROT who was one of my favourite artists at the time, and who better to get them to draw, than Phayne! So in a way, I designed Phayne's look, so that he would work perfectly for that artists' artstyle.

Haha I should make a character based off me but better. And I did just that. and then some months later further improved him by making him a ghost :D

wormancer thank you! he is by far the most precious of my characters haha

Needed a sprite to fill in a conspicuously tile, for flavour, in a cut-scene in a bad RPG maker game
Then I let him tell a joke so it looked like he was supposed to be there
And it was all downhill from there

(It wasn't even a funny joke)

My OC Kuro is one of my oldest ones, I made him when I was 12 and I'm 23 now. I was going through a lot at the time and wanted to make an angsty character I could identify with and who was just as angry/sad as I was....thankfully I don't identify with him now but I still kept his personality in tact from his original inception. He means a lot to me and I still love him but he's kind of an OC I don't rp with as much, not that I don't want to cause I do, but it feels funny in a way.

 Rahello: I wanted to create an elfin mage. Since I like herbs and trees, I figured I'd create and earth mage, one who likes working with matter so I don't have to come up with vague bs about energy or whatever. :P For his personality, I had watched/read a lot about chaotic neutral characters, and I wanted one for myself. :) 

  Morgan: I wanted a character in a sci fi setting, but since I don't have a lot of sci fi stories, I figured the character should have a personality and job that I am familiar with. 

  Enkar: He is heavily based on a character from this great book I read a while ago. 

  Deru: I wanted to create a character for a fantasy/sci fi blend type of story. 

  Amenemhat: He's the bad guy in a roleplay, but I didn't want him to be evil just for the sake of the story. I've worked on his background for so long, and now I like him more than the good character I'm also playing in that roleplay. 

  Covindor: I wanted to create a nice guy in a fantasy setting, just in case I would ever be in the mood for one.

I wanted a boy with the POOFIEST soft light hair and that's literally the only reason he exists....... sorry Cyrus I swear I love you even as a person
