Random thoughts on the OC above [HIGH EFFORT]

Posted 1 year, 5 months ago (Edited 1 year, 1 month ago) by kirchhoff

I got Zinkyzor’s blessing to remake their random thoughts on the OC above game, except with a higher effort requirement!

This is meant for more in-depth thoughts on others’ characters. If you’d just like some quick fun, go visit the thread without the effort requirement.

RULES:

1. THIS IS A HIGH EFFORT THREAD. Try to go for 5 thoughts AT LEAST! Of course, more is always welcome, but try not to go for any less, especially if the person above you wrote a lot. Try to match the user above’s effort!

2. Avoid simple lines without elaboration— “nice design” doesn’t work for this thread, but “I like this design because X Y and Z” works better. If you’d like to add a few basic thoughts, please have them with higher-effort thoughts! Just a whole bunch of basic lines won’t work— quality over quantity. Reading the profile is required— simply making comments on art or design is NOT enough.

3. As for what the thoughts are, pretty much anything goes. Headcanons, what this character reminds you of, questions you may have, songs you think they’d like… etc.

4. No sexual NSFW. Gory stuff is fine BEHIND A SPOILER— and only if the other user has stated they’re fine with it/it’s just a gory character to begin with.

5. No need to write essays. This is just for thoughts that go into more complex detail, but it doesn’t need to be super duper thoughtful!

6. Cooldown is 2 people. [You] [X] [Y] [You]

7. If you make a claim, please fill it in 12 hours.

8. Once again, this is a HIGH EFFORT THREAD. You may play on the thread without the effort requirement if you aren’t sure you can give out the proper time and care for the user above’s character, but please respect the regulations here.

Of course, feel free to DM me at any time with any concerns about this thread. I'll do my best to moderate it, but I'm not always active on forums.

  • He seems troubled somehow. Not in the 'poor guy' sense but in the 'spreading chaos as a result of that' sense.
  • The various elements used in his profile are very cool, well done, and organized considerably.
  • Fox stock images would be cool however? It seems out of place in a different manner, good or bad...?
  • Yeah, there are the images lol. Cool.
  • Evil, Fox, Guy -- concise and says "enough" lol.
  • He wants so much but cannot get it. Huh. His mortal frame surpasses itself, oof?
  • Everyone has something that they need to drive themselves forward? His is extreme however.
  • Hiding ears is cool.
  • A metal and electric capability is neat as an idea.
  • He would have a lineage to promote his egocentrism, hm...
  • Ear flicking is characteristic, and somehow stands out in his case. I guess there is a sense of irritation to him that correlates?
  • There are a lot of likes and a lot of dislikes. ... Somehow that offsets his pessimism...?
  • There is a lot of detail about him, you put a lot of effort and thought forward -- well done?
  • Joseph sucks, pass it on. ... Immature as a thought but he might do that in some manner, out of spite? Headcanon I think.
  • A nine-faced fox is a unique take on myths.
  • Good -- and realistic I think -- strengths and weaknesses. Questionable ethics are also validly written(?)
  • There's so much detail in the extensive profile, and that's cool.

Thank you! She does sort of look like one, yeah! Unsure about the apiary aspect; she does make bee bread but monitoring bees would be interesting.

Queen Yams Yamroll
  • Your ocs all have really interesting bios, they kinda give off some sorta mythical vibe abt them? I guess its just how you write them that makes it feel like that but either way i like your writing!
  • I had to search up what an apiarist was ADGHDGAD-
  • Kinda funny how she's a bee and her task is to take care of bees. Would it be like a human and ape kind of situation? (with Fiori being somewhat genetically related to bees but also more advanced)
  • I mean if you work hard for long enough your mind starts wandering so i dont blame her getting sidetracked sometimes DGAHDGA-
  • I like characters that seem calm and level headed but once something exciting happens to them their energy just goes 📈📈📈
  • lmao i like how she just accepts it when people dont hear her like-
  • *screams* "Ah dammit they cant hear me, that sucks"
  • She gives me crow vibes with how she likes coins? Idk she reminds me of crows somehow lol-
  • Does she just like shiny things in general? cos honestly same 
  • She seems to dislike most weather related natural elements? Only thing she seems to like is sunny weather, thoigh makes sense since shes a bee
  • I just read the quote on her profile, it makes her sound really optimistic and cheerful!
  • Longhorn bees look silly goofy (in a good way) LIKE THEIR LIL ANTENNAE AWW-
  • Idk why but some of her artwork makes her look like a pokemon lol
  • DGSHGFDHSA i love how she sees silk and just goes "ok its mine now"
  • Dang she really likes copper...
  • does the dance thing have to do with how bees in colonies (cos ik not all bees are the social kind??) dance to show where nectar is?
  • honestly shes such a cute character, i wanna just *gently holds*

np: if you cant think of anything to say for queen yams, you're free to do prince atlas or herbert instead! ALSO pls ping me!!

- Right off the bat, I love the profile layout. It's so neat, organized and detailed, I really love that about some character HTMLS. Just the more details you can squeeze into one profile, the better. Love reading through profiles like these so I am HYPED.

- Oh my gosh she's a giraffe, I absolutely LOVE giraffes! I am super loving this character already!!

- Aww January 8, that's one day before my brother's birthday lol. 

- That short profile blurb in the beginning, I love how you can get a grasp on Yams' character. It doesn't give away too many details, but enough to get you hooked and I love it. I want to know what happened to her in her past and how that shaped the person she is in the present! I'm theorizing that it has something to do with how she'd rather be carefree and casual instead of focusing on the more important aspects of her role as Queen.

- Also "she would rather sleep," ME

- Ahh, she's kind and motherly, but also has that greediness to her. I am even more intrigued by her character. I love how you wrote that she puts on a front in public, appearing as the Queen her people need instead of the person she rather is. Yams knows that Queen Yams needs to be there for her people, not Yams and I really really love that aspect in a character.

- Ahh, laid-back yet also fussing about small details. She's just like me haha

- Reading those little tidbits about what happens to Yams over the course of her story and how she changes AGHH I want to read more!! You're dangling this sweet, delectable lore and character-building right in front of me and I am jumping at it like a dog jumps at a treat thats just out of reach. I want to KNOWWWWW this is so GOOD.

- "Wise gilf energy" HELP. But I love how at the conclusion of her story, she mellows back out but also becomes a more wise and mature person than she was at the beginning. That's character growth people!!

- SHE LIKES JAZZ. YES. BASED. Good taste in music AND food. Now I'm getting hungry for cheese.

- I love that part of her character is that she's a forgiving person. It's one of my favorite aspects of a character, and I love when it's pulled off well. 'Cause honestly, it's a super common trait to make a character flaw, and while yes, it can absolutely be a flaw, I like seeing characters extend kindness and grace to all people. It reminds me a bit of myself.

- Poor little baby Yams...something about her backstory hit close to home for me and I'm not quite sure what. But reading about how the Doctor did all he could to make sure Yams got the home and family she deserved, agh, it's so sweet. AND the Queen taking her in!! As you said she might not have gotten her happy story, but MAN...it makes me want the best for her!

- WHAAT you have a craft of her? That's so cool! I want to make crafts of my OC's but I'm not too dexterous haha

- I loved rolling over and reading all of her ribbons, they offer a good insight into her creation and character!

Yams is such a lovely character, I had to give her a favorite right when I started reading. Her design, her character, her story, I love it all. Amazing character!!

  • First of all I really appreciate that Farran's profile is clear and easy to read! Not just the layout you've chosen, but his story and details are spaced out nicely, and I enjoyed reading through all the different sections of his profile! His history is well-developed and it's clear how his past impacted who he became and the choices he made.
  • From the start I feel for him: he's a principled and honorable person who has to contend with being lied to and betrayed by his government, and breaking out of the beliefs he had been raised on. That kind of growth is relatable, even if most of us never go on journeys accompanied by super-weapon leopards. : )
  • The story of these fugitives on the run from their government is a compelling premise, and it sounds really exciting, like something I could picture in an animated movie or novel.
  • This bit stood out to me: "It was then that Farran came to realize that in the moment he chose to put her happiness and freedom above his own, that the leopard came to know him as friend and family. Farran would name the leopard Rena, and though he had lost his own family when he made the choice to liberate her, with Ashya marking him as killed in the line of combat to cover up his disappearence and Rena's escape, he had gained the start of a new family." Just this individualistic guy doing the right thing by putting someone else's welfare above his own, and finding a new family: it's a really satisfying turnaround.
  • Is it funny to say that I like the bit about Farran being able to handle arguments with Aspen because he grew up with two brothers? I did too, so I get what that kind of dynamic means, haha
  • Rena's a good girl, by the way.
  • I like that you have symbolism behind Farran and Aspen's ox and eagle motifs! So much about this story it's clear that you've put a lot of thought and care into developing.
  • The relationships between the three of them, and especially Farran and Rena, are really nice. I love the found family kind of thing, where they all depend on each other.
  • A funny little detail to me is that Farran's life companion is a leopard, but he still doesn't like cats!
  • Overall, he was a pleasure to read about!

NP: If you don't want to do Haggis, any of these characters are fine too.

- So I was listening to Sonic Youth and Joy Division, then I saw this thread and give it a try then. I'll see how far can I make this post, pushing my efforts!!!

- I really like their outfit design...except the butt part because is that necessary? Anyway, their clothes remind me of a combination between summer and winter. Also, what are those patterns on their right leg? Thorns?

- This one reminds me of a story about the match girl, except that rather than getting a hypothermia, she get help from someone, hence the caption "why are you helping me?", plus the whole poverty trivia thing.

- "stupidly good at card games" Like...Uno?

- What are those tattoo on Bound's back? Do they have meaning or it is just for decoration only? It looks like thorns right?

- I imagined if Bound is in a video game, it'll be like psychological horror, something out of American McGee: Alice in Wonderland, or The Evil Within, because their design is giving me that vibe.

- Off topic but their name reminds me of this song.

- "incredibly good at slight-of-hand tricks; Can steal your watch right off your wrist" Dude, that would be so cool, except stealing because stealing is bad.

- "loves learning new skills. Tends to get obsessive over one and will keep at it until they're proficient" Can I teach them how to roll their tongue like I did then :>

- Overall, very interesting oc!

For NP, you can pick one from IC or you can do both instead.

Lilium IronyMobile
  • They're going on an adventure, very cool.
  • A Youtube channel is cool, but I don't think they would have a lot of viewers given the obscurity aspect?
  • If they start a ghost-town series, that would be cool.
  • They seem very inseparable, that's cool.
  • Jimmy's profile seems very characteristic of a 15 year old, yeah.
  • Cool description and personality.
  • Popping zits is gross, yeah...
  • The trivia is in-depth and makes a lot of sense.
  • The headcanons are also very characteristic.
  • He seems like a very wholesome character.
  • Riley seems like a good foil to Jimmy.
  • He is older but not as socially adept, which is a good subversion.
  • The trivia and design notes -- the shirt factoid namely -- are very cool and well considered.
  • Board games as opposed to online ones makes sense too.
  • Everything seems direct and well written.

Thank you!! I have put a lot of effort into their character. They might be around 4-5 years old in concept; and the name "Lilium" is based on the "lily flower genus" in Latin -- which were traditional funeral flowers and meant to represent "innocence after death". There is a lot of thematic correlations to that, although not a singular concept to their character. They've gone through a lot in trying to get a sense of matters, and could be considered more worldly by extent. Although not 'innocent' in the naive sense -- there is consideration for matters beyond themselves.


At the start, 'Lilium' did not have a name, and did not need one: definers a social and communicative aspect. There were only 'themselves' and 'others perceived' around the first couple decades adrift, the self not thinking in third person typically.

Inherent knowledge was present medicinally and otherwise; they knew what to do when encountering wounded/etc persons, when deciding to help. Although, the terrain was unfamiliar regardless, knowledge only present as opposed to experience. Not everyone is that well-meaning either, which can be lethal. When (in some idealism) crossing paths with Vieri, who did a lot for them but did not understand them very well -- that meant that a lot of mistakes happened over some years through relevant efforts -- they wavered on the idea of being called something, but chose 'Melio' to that degree. They've only had two nominatives over the course of their existence, each necessary while not solitary essentially.

They took Lilium as a definer after a while, somewhat deciding on it ambiently. Lilies weren't that infrequent a concept to prior timeframes, and starting over had some relevance. For some reason their mind decided on that; although almost any term might have been. I think there might have been lilies around the cabin Angitia was looking after, before she left back down the mountain. She was not threatening, and being 'inhuman' as opposed to most others noted -- there was reason for intrigue (this aside from other factors that prompted decision). She did not influence choice, and expected them to leave in most chance -- although they did not depart, being there still when she made the path back through bus/walking/etc.
Thank you -- Lily seems cool.

IronyMobile claim

- We both have a character named Lilium! Quite lovely :].
- I enjoy the simplicity of their design. I feel like it lends well to the type of character they are.
- Admittedly I had a bit of trouble reading their trivia section (nothing against it of course! my comprehension is just a tad bad sometimes haha). But I do like how it is written/presented. The writing itself has a lot of character which I think fits well with Lilium themself.
- To add to that, I can tell there's been lots of time and love but into their character. It's nice to see.
- Where did Lilium get their name? I might have missed it if it was listed on their page, but I couldn't seem to find anything about that specifically.
- I noticed that they are an adopt you got from someone. Is there anything in particular that drew you to the design?
- Did you have them before you got a th account? Or is the creation date on their page reflective of how old they are?
- The phrase 'living memory' gives me some ghostly vibes. Though I could say that about a lot of their character.


Some responses to the thoughts below vv

- Lily is her own sort of creature! The species has a few defined traits in my head but I haven't given it a proper name or anything. Honestly I probably should...
- "I am creation, both haunted and holy" is a song lyric from creature by half alive. I listen to a lot of music and my brain likes to connect said music to my ocs a lot. So I have a tendency to put song lyrics on character profiles if I can find a decent place for them.
- His more formal attire is the one in that artwork. It does technically have a full reference, but I don't have it on here since its more just for myself.
- Tldr of creation magic: It basically just... creates things. Often associated with creating life but not necessarily limited to that. It is very powerful, which is part of the reason that Lily's family are the ones ruling their kingdom.
- The cat form is current and canon thing. I've just been procrastinating an updated and more polished design (humanoids are much more my strong suit than ferals).
- I'm currently (re)writing a story about Lily! So a lot of the world and such will be explored more in that. I'm not sure when I'll be done with it but once I am it will be on th :]

👑 King Wredil MegiW

- Oh what an interesting simple design, I especially like the look of the eyes in profile picture, look goat-like and I love goat haha. Tho I'm not sure if Lily was supposed to be a goat of kind, even better if not because I like more odd creatures
-"I am creation, both haunted and holy" Kind of a cool cryptic line, I do wonder what creature | half-alive exactly is. Someone else? Lily? Or source of the line? Whatever it is, the line is cool
- Likes and dislikes are pretty interesting and sweet, feel them a lot on disliking conflict. I do wonder what "beef" they got with the sand hah. I guess they gotta go to beaches with rocks instead of sand then considering they love sea/ocean
- Oh a prince? I like that outfit doesn't show that clearly, as if character likes to be more grounded... Well after seeing the personality, there is my answer hah. I wonder how their full royal outfit looks like, is it this one?
- Harmoni is such a lovely surname ayooo, guarding moonstone? I wonder what that is exactly in their world.
- I like how you managed to explain the character so nicely in short. I also do wonder how Creation Magic works, is it powerful, is it about creating new life? I'm very interested.
- Sweet how Lily is very reserved and soft, yet creative and doesn't seem super shy. Bruh I like how you manage to say a lot in little words, like line "Something not helped by her mother's attitude" implying that mother wants Lily to always be formal, harder to approach, etc.
- Ohhh full name is sooo lovely, like the stargazer lilies, named after them I'm guessing? (Ok read more, yep it is, very sweet hah)
- Ha ha tinyyy, lil baby mannnn, baby, tinyyyy, shortieee, hue hueee uuuuuu lil baby maaaan, ok ok who am I to speak im not tall either.
- I see some cat versions in their gallery, they can take form of a cat? Old design? Made for fun not canon? It does look sweet, I like the tiny crown and gentle cream color of the fur, very fitting of the main design!
- Uuuuu links are very nice too, tell a lot about the character too. Hopefully Lily gets less tense as they grow older, I want them to have a nice life c: Andddd hopefully you add more info about them and their world.

NEXT PERSON: Wredil also has human version that I like a lot, so you can take a peek at it too, all info is same, its just different look of the character

V -Auuughhhh my heart 😭😭😭😭

  • Time for me to get me some king Wredil, I love your oc's <3
  • Gotta love us some comfort oc! Shows that you love him <3
  • I have to say that his ref looks absolutely fantastic!
  • From his personality, he sounds like a fantastic king!
  • Awwwhawww, Melya made him blush <3 The art on Melya's ref of them both is absolutely beautiful!
  • HELL YEAH, love people who can take and make jokes :D
  • I want him to hold my hands with his warm hands!
  • His abilities are pretty neat honestly!
  • Ooooh, it's neat that he can sing and play violin! Violin is probably my favorite instrument XD
  • I think it's absolutely amazing Melya and others helped him be happier, but it also makes it terribly sad that her death brought his depression back due to grief ;u;
  • "Grief is hitting him hard, but he is going strong, trying to think positively, smile more and will never let despair reach him" Awww, sweetie, I wanna hug him ;u;
  • I absolutely love how he developped from being afraid to be a king to becoming a great king!
  • Btw, I also absolutely love your art style it's super neat and unique <3
  • Amazing oc overall <3
[🥂] Talus aggressivedaikons
  • first off, I love the pallete for his pf code :)
  • Quintuplets! Assuming it’s related to being a werewolf
  • He seems really chill just based off his introduction 
  • April 3 is coming up 👀 happy early birthdayy man
  • 5’10”, nice. As a short person I think that’s tall, but who knows lol :)

  • Ew country lmao can relate
  • Wonder what his favorite movie/tv series is?
  • DnD! Awesome, I’ve been interested in it lately lol.
  • T h e o t o m a t o n e s <333

  • Oh Kjaya! I remember seeing her once or twice before in the forum games.
  • Harvey may not be as developed but he look adorable.
  • His wolf form look very fluffy and I want to hug him

v lmao the whole assassin thing was primarily due to the few bits and pieces of human action based media he had at the time and he thought it sounded badass. But he couldn’t be an assassin in the Aether since nobody would take him seriously.

And he doesn’t actually have a thing against mortals at all (honestly he dislikes celestials a lot), it’s just he kills whatever his employer wants. He does not discriminate, he does what is employer says, no hard feelings :) 👍
Ciao sunnyshrimp
  • i am very interested about the fact that he just. Had this inclination to be an assassin. like it takes truly some fucked up dude to go to school at 16 and be like you know what i should be doing with my life right now. Killing mortal people
    • i think it's also pretty indicative of the kind of character he is that he almost.. picks on mortals? like this dude is a celestial guy but he's like im going to fuck this place up. im gonna murder some bitches for goods and services!!
  • i too talk a lot with my hands and love to bounce around we're so twins
    • i see because he is neurodivergent
    • me too
  • barista AND an assassin...purrr we love a man with multitudes
  • ke$ha stan like okkkkkkk  
  • i like that he's always drawn with red linework...very cool...also love his hair yassss

NP: feel free to do either ciao or yukio! they both have extended profiles with oodles of details, you can poke around there if youd like :^P

Aj Fallen-Down

- 'Human, pinky swear' that second part makes it suspicious....

- Their bio alludes to there being more to him but then just immediately shuts it down. I am questioning everything /positive/

- 'her humor masks the fact she's not the brightest' way to call someone out cheese and crackers haha

- Oh so he isn't human I see.... Undead so maybe reincarnate or something?

- I adore this characters personality. It fits together so well.

- Dislikes 'Renaissance art - cubism's way cooler!' I will shatter you like glass /light hearted/

- They are outright shameless, I wonder if anyone ever gets second hand cringe from them haha

- Naming yourself something just because you like the sound, I can relate

-  '#CiaoBoobTrivia' stop making me laugh I'm in classsssss /not mad/

- 'small shirt, big pants' yesss outfits like that look so cool

- Transfiguring with the limits of not being able to transmute themselves and having to know basically what she is doing is a great balance. I wonder, does he get better at it over time or do they just deal?

- 'Resistant to outside stressors' It would be fun to push the limits of that story-wise [that definitely makes me sound like a mad scientist or something but we move]

- Her not being able to create art is sad as all get out. Does this bother them at all?

- She gives out stick-n-pokes, that's certainly something.

- Her tail is expressive, do they ever wag it or it it more cat-like?

- 'tends to be unintentionally hurtful' Have they ever lost someone because of this?

- I love the 'I don't know much about my past so I'll just make it up' bit

- 'Tactic - don't fight' That makes sense

Awesome character!

Edit: 

"I wonder if he hates being called by his full name due to something to do with his parents?" Honestly if my name was Alfredo I'd go by a nickname too /joke/ I don't really have any reasoning behind it to be honest, that's a good idea though.

"do you plan to give him a whole catalogue of outfits?" I suck at coming up with clothes but yes I do eventually plan on giving him a wardrobe haha

"Is the "Soulless" mentioned in his bio what your username is referencing?" Yes, he is my mascot.

"That's a pretty banger code for the moodboard, could I have a link?" Yep, and I agree.

"Does his elf DNA come with any magic powers or anything of the sort?" Yeah I think in this world elves would be pretty predisposed to having more magic. It's really something almost everyone can obtain if they work hard though so he's not *that* special haha

"King Nothing" kirchhoff
  • Congrats on the raffle win, dude!
  • I wonder if he hates being called by his full name due to something to do with his parents?
  • Fashion icon, I see   do you plan to give him a whole catalogue of outfits? Especially with fashionable characters I always love designing new clothes for them lol
  • Is the "Soulless" mentioned in his bio what your username is referencing?
  • "Good But Fragile" Good luck, sir   
  • I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO BE MANIPULATIVE? Though it doesn't seem like he's the type to really capitalize much on it, given that he's trying to avoid it, but wow I did not expect that after reading through his main profile
  • That's a pretty banger code for the moodboard, could I have a link? Seems like something I might want to use for my characters but I couldn't find a link on the tab ack
  • Meta info's always fun to look through, when you get around to filling that bit out I'd love to read it
  • The ending of the story... :'( he deserved better
  • Due to all the comments he makes on others' fashion but being friendly I assume he's just the kind of friend that says the most out-of-pocket, ridiculous or annoying shit sometimes but people still keep him around 'cause he's cool enough that it balances out
  • This is a weird and a bit of a stupid question but. Does his elf DNA come with any magic powers or anything of the sort?
  • Wonder if he looks at the labels of the packages he sorts and thinks "ugh that name is so unfashionable" or anything of the like hahahah

vv That's what I was going for, thank you!
