Oogh this was really hard! I love both of them so much, especially their designs. I think I prefer C though! The idea of a parasite living peacefully is really cool, and I love how she's calm and collected despite that. Also, she's like a big sister to Aneno??? I love big sisters so much and she's def seems like a great big sister figure to have. I'm a little jealous of Aneno, hehe! I also really love her jacket. I'd wear her outfit irl if I could.
This thread has rules regarding the effort you have to put in your replies. Please read them carefully before claiming and posting. Violation of these rules could lead to a warning or a ban from my forum games.
This game is simple to play! Post the link to two of your OCs (don't make people have to search through all of your characters lmao), and the user below has to tell which one they prefer and why! (With an OOC explanation) Then they post two of their OCs as well, and so on.
The two OCs to choose from can be anything! They may be related in some way in their story, they may be similar, they may be polar opposites, they may have the same number of faves, they may be chosen at random... Go wild and have fun comparing OCs ~
Rules and guidelines
About your claims
- Read the above OCs' bios, and do comment about them, not just the designs. Bringing up the designs is fine, but it must not be the only thing you talk about. Preferences based on appearances only are better suited for the low-effort version of this game.
- Write an actual, thoughtful reason of why you prefer a character over another. A simple "I like their design better" or "I find them more interesting" and nothing else isn't really enough; try to be specific.
- Be fair: if the person above you took the time to write a paragraph, don't give them one or two short sentences only in return.
- Stay nice when you explain why you prefer one character over another. Don't make passive-aggressive, inappropriate remarks on other people characters, whether it's the duo or just the one you didn't choose. It's a 'who you prefer' choice, not a 'who you dislike the less' one.
About the characters you post
- Please make sure the OCs you post have bios with enough substance for the next poster to have something to write about them.
- If you got no response after a long time (let's say 1 or 2 days), it's recommended to edit the end of your post, suggesting a new duo to make the thread keep going.
- For everyone's comfort, please refrain from posting NSFW or otherwise possibly disturbing characters. If you really do want to use such OCs, please offer a second pair to choose from, so the game doesn't get stuck.
If you find these rules too strict and want to play a low effort comparison game instead, you can try this variant!
Let's start for real now! Who do you prefer between Isabelle and Ismaël?
Day all the way!!! While Mimi was v nice i have an absolute soft spot for "rougher"/enthusiastic sunshine (pun uninted but pfft) characters. Characters with optimism or cheer in spite of their struggles? Yes pleasee. Loveee her armor too, not much characters utilizes full armor and i think it's a shame! (her horns are also cool as hell) And her personality and story!!! Augh ;o; reading abt her dreaming and fantasizing of being a magical girl and the part abt her being lonely.... just.. ;O; (I WANT TO GIVE HER A HUG). I think she deserves more friends and definitely hugs. I lovw her, i would like to give her a little kith on the forehead
The trickster or the engineer, hmm :3 ?
Flip! I love them. I really like innocent type tricksters specially when they get in genuine trouble for it, also because they are an alien who might see things in a different way I think that's pretty cool. Shapeshifters characters are also great I love how you can have fun with their design while maintaining the character's essence. Also they just seems very nice??? I'm a big fan of characters that can be kind and fun but still have a secretive side they don't want to show for whatever reason and that secret doesn't need to define them as a character, like how Flip isn't their real name. As a bonus I really really love nonamorous aro ace characters who are more extroverted and bubbly they make my heart happy.
I really like them both!
I think I'll have to go with Smol Mew, just because lil baby awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I also really love the simplistic design and the color palette. You don't see a green cat very often lmao. Eris is a little mushroom man, though, and I really like the fact you made him both optomistic and morbid. But, again, Smol mew is little bb with a fancy little color who likes choclate chip cookies that could kill him and likes to sit on calenders!!!!11!!!!1!!
I prefer Arkanis! I like Alex a lot in terms of design, but character wise Arkanis is more appealing to me. Those polite and reserved types have always been one of my favourite tropes lol
on a side note, I also really liked reading Arkanis's links, and I bet his story is super interesting :] (though, by the looks of it, Arkanis and Alex share the same story)
-------
Lilya or Sapphire?
This was a little difficult since I love Raphaël's design more but since Tobie's got a bit of backstory with/during WWII it kinda hits home for me, so I'm going with him.

battle of the alien besties
Gonna go with Xerxes! First of all, I like how they're a scientist that isn't crazy or mad, even though their way of approaching living beings can be considered questionable. Secondly, I think their calm, collected demeanor fits them, and the concept of a space traveler is quite interesting! And third thing, I think their design is pretty cool, too - something ethereal, otherworldly is always nice to see.
I'll say it's Shuren for me! I love his design and his mask is my favorite design aspect of him. I also find the fact that he's a Vishap whisperer really interesting and I'm really invested with how Shuren and Eraihime bonded over time! I'm just a sucker for characters that develop such significant bonds with their companions throughout their story, even if the world might go against them.
I clicked on Sherbet and went "oh definitely Sherbet" then clicked on Colby and went "Oh definitely Colby" :'D They are just both so darn cute!!! I think overall though, Sherbet just has that slight edge for me! I love smokey cats, and the scarf is super cute! I especially adore the picture of him tucked away in bed!! >.<
