đź’ˇ Why does your OC exist (in meta)?

Posted 5 years, 5 months ago (Edited 5 years, 4 months ago) by fuelli

Hi! A lot of us have OCs with fleshed-out backstories and complex personalities... but what was the first thing, the first trait you've come up to for them? What made you create this character? The answer can be as serious ("I wanted to create a character to share with my experiences with <event>") or silly ("I really like pasta so I've made a character who likes pasta") as you want!

Just have fun and please keep things civil ♥

Ezekiel’s existence came into creation since back then I really liked to grab inspiration from the media n things I’m focused on during that time and create a character based on it

From what I remember, he is inspired by Gajeel from Fairytail, Gundams (seen by is head band, the yellow tips like how Gundams have two of those “horns” on em), and I forgot the last piece of inspiration I grabbed from but I know it was the reason I made his hair white; I think it was some futuristic theming? But I know for sure it was a character

I didn’t touch him for awhile after creation but I now think of him a lot n developing him 

Icarus Blumenkranz

I've always wanted to have a winged character named Icarus, and I also wanted a pegasus character so Icarus came into existence! He's not very fleshed out and I still have much to work on for him but one day I'll get there lol

He started out as a little doodle of a rabbit with a chainsaw (in his gallery) who I didn’t plan on ever drawing again, like most of my characters. Now, he has a ton of art, and is my main sona!

Rubiks NebulaCrossings

This guy literally exists because I looked at a pair of glasses. I was cleaning the living room and found a set of shudder shades and bam: One of my main characters was born. (I should really get an icon for him fjnwefnjf)

Nakatomi Pumkit

because an ipad baby discovered picrew /hj

Marley Kipling ClydeHomicide

I originally stole a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and made it a faceclaim for him bc I was in a jojo rp group at the time and I wanted to be cool and edgy. Fast forward to now and he's no longer a jojo character, hes just a stinky old man with issues. Huzzah!

Literally one of the few things that hasn't changed is that he's autistic (like me lol)

Elizabett Feufeu

Came as a shitty fan character on some obscure saga, stay as an oc on her own

Jonathan Weyland danlion

I posted about Mick and Lindsey, but it's Weyland time... and John and Bossman by extension.

He was technically thought up years ago by my bestie Orophine, who always loved Burke from Aliens and imagined he had a sexy relationship with his boss. But he had no name and no appearance until we started watching all the Saw movies in order, saw Mark Hoffman, and I was like, damn, this dude HOT and would make a good Burke boss.

So he became faceclaimed by Costas Mandylor and honestly I don't remember what led to the convo that made him Weyland (share bee if you remember) but he's Weyland now, head of Weyland-Yutani during the time of Aliens.

John was born because at the time Dr. Owens had no on-screen wife and he was SO FUCKING CUTE and I LOVE younger man/older man relationships and I felt so sad for Sam that he was alone and wanted to give him a hot young thing lol.

Bossman was born because we watched My Two Dads and loved Mikey and wanted him to get his own hot man too. Every single Paul Reiser character will get their Costas Mandylor. Sorry you two but not sorry.

"Giant beetle, but also a woman who beat people"

Now she is my most written (considering that I'm bad at it) and loved character of all times.

Tiberius the Minotaur Genericdudebrono2

I saw that one of my favorite artists was hosting a world to make Animatronic OC's for a haunted house type attraction. So I immediately thought of a design for a minotaur. And that is how Tiberius was created.

Finian Evans ICreateThingz

I needed a new character for a rp. I looked up " deer person " online and used the first piece I saw for their art (i told my rp partner I didn't make the art). Found out picrew was a thing and then changed up their design a bit. They were meant to be a side character/only associated with one character. They then expanded A LOT in that rp, and now they're one of my most favorite oc's.
