i forgot his inital concept but his character was sitting in limbo for a while before i realized i didnt have a slasher oc despite my love of 80s slashers and the concept of someone dying and coming back wrong (at least in canon most everyone thinks he's the guy he's possessing)
Hi! A lot of us have OCs with fleshed-out backstories and complex personalities... butĀ 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 ā„
I really wanted a character who was just like, a beacon of light? just a good, sweet and friendly character that can practically get along with anyone, and I thought: why not make a little kitty cat? and thus came my beloved buddy, a silly guy who has so much love
everyone has gotta have their little silly goose character, and buddy is mine
He was just a closed species designĀ I made to fill my MYO slot with no real purpose for the character in mind. Then I made a human version of him and got more attached to the human AU than the original, lolĀ
Cecil and August happened because i was really obsessed with buzzfeed unsolved lol
I was playing the source material [game Sky: Children of the Light], was wearing a random outift combination and took a few screenshots in one of the game's area, and then went "I could make an oc out of that" and did
"Oh what if I had Cicero from Skyrim but as a silly character in game?" -> "oh but what if i make it into a girl and then actual oc?" -> "Ok. Now I'm serious, so listen well "
That was my story with how Cicero started and later became a true and IMPORTANT oc of mine XDD It all started as a joke, and I think atm I made that into a habbit. Because ya all, listen--
"I need a partner for Cicero, she can't be alone forever.... Hey... What about Sun from fnaf sb? He's quite hot and both are like clowns so that's a fit. Oh but let's make him a girl too and give her some sussy job"
Literally turning my favorite characters into ocs and then making them be together * dies from laughter* Oh, and if curious, here's Sunny, Cicero's girlfriend! I even have an image that PERFECTLY shows my thought process and... well, is a reason this relationship exists, together as to why Sunny exists XDD The holy image.
But fr making jokes is DANGEROUS, because you never know when it will turn from /jk to /s and when it does you are DONE. You cannot run. You cannot hide. IT BECOMES A SERIOUS REALITY.
