✨ Who do you prefer between...?

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?

Nuclear-Hydrangea

ok, so both of them have funky looking shapes and have 3d models of the characters, which it's something I rarely see here in Toyhouse but I had to go with Myriad. Though, I actually find the part where Rush doesn't want to be called burger king is quite funny. Now for Myriad, it's sad what happened to him, he was cursed and had a more evil form. Outside from what it seems to be a happy person, his happiness was just a way for him to escape the suffering he had and in reality, he's just a sad one. The fact being a god, yet not being too powerful is quite interesting. I like to see more god characters that are more mundane or not overpowered to the people around them.

I'm gonna bring my edgy necromancer Évariste:

Fantasy or Modern version

Edge_Goldie

I’ve gotta go with the Modern version. Not only because of my own bias of fantasy not being my cup of tea, but putting those who aren’t human in a modern and mundane setting is much more interesting to me personally, but the amount of effort put into the fantasy, well original it seems, is AMAZING. In both design, story, and little details there is so much thought and care put in. I really enjoyed reading through it all! Though no matter the version, Évariste is a really enjoyable character through and through with a good heart. I love how necromancy is handled in both versions the most, though. Especially in fantasy because I haven’t seen much of actually talking to the dead before battle.

Gonna go with my married pirates-

Kiwi or Coco.

first of all, i think the fact that i'm picking between holmes and moriarty is delightful and hilarious, i love the choice itself. a point in holmes's favor is the goth influences - i already have a bias towards that, and i don't think i've ever seen that in a character based on sherlock holmes? but in the end i will have to choose moriarty. i love characters who are wrapped in mystery, characters who carefully craft their identities to suit their needs... super fun to dig into, so i'd love to study this guy under a microscope. (also pushing 50 is a bonus.) 


since they're quite different: Momo or Resis?

SapphireBatWings

I gotta go with Momo. Firstly his design just draws me in more, I love the no pupil look and the mostly monochrome theme! That pop of red certianly adds an allure. Love his clothing too! The corset(?) is a nice touch. Although Resis has an intriguing story as well I found myself more immersed in learning about Momo's history; I tend to enjoy characters who have a dark/cruel history who have then come to better themselves and have to live with whatever pain they have caused. In Momo's case "he deems himself a false prophet, a harbinger of doom." I find this to be particularly intriguing. To me he seems like a guy who is well-intentioned but just didn't know how to go about things or went about them in the wrong way. And the identity-crisis to follow is interesting to read about. Momo just seems to have a lot of complexities that draw me in. 


Lara or Chey

SapphireBatWings

SapphireBatWings (pinging because it's been a while) First of all, I have to say I find Lara and Chey's relationship very cute! I love how they have such contrasting aesthetics and personalities despite being wives and trusting each other so much :] I really like Chey's muted palette and overall association with autumn, it really does have a melancholic feel that fits her tragic backstory and how she overcomes it!

Still, I lean towards Lara a bit more, as I'm a big big fan of compassionate and protective characters! :D Her wardrobe is stunning and her design both fits and contrasts her personality/behaviour which is fascinating! But yeah they both are super nice characters. Do not separate <3


Michel or Raphaël?

Serotina

Michel being the "symbolic ruling figure instead of God," is a very interesting take on the archangel. Him being trans and his struggles with fearing his transition goes against god resonates with me, being an FTM and religious myself. I wonder why he likes Normandy, that's an interesting fact about him that I like! The fact that Michel has both an admirer and detractor on his relationships is a lot of fun, that ties back into the whole rebellion thing, yes? I really like this character and the story you've written for him.

Now for his brother.

Raphaël helping out with psychological problems is a fresh take on being a healer, or at least I haven't seen that before! Having a found family on Earth is a cute idea. Harahel not hating Raphaël the way he hates Michel, but still being dismayed at being named a guardian angel, is a fun dynamic between the two brothers. He also has three more relationship blurbs that Michel, which makes me think he is overall more friendly towards people.

I think that I lean more towards Michel, despite Raphaël being the more "human" of the two. Michel keeping the bunny shows a side of him his detractors would never see, and it makes him more interesting, at least to me. It's close, though.


Which sibling do you prefer? Anna or Arlo?

bump!

puzon

I think I'd pick Ramell, I like the vibes she gives off, she seems fun and vibrant character and has so many cool abilities! And it's interesting that she was in a relationship with a thieve before. She seems to be quite brave and resourceful person. Amelia seems to be enjoyable character as well, I like how she gives an impression of a colder type of person while she's actually very sweet but I think Ramell is more in my type in general :D though I have to admit that I like Amelia's outfit a bit more, that flowy black-purple dress is just beautiful! reading their bios made me curious about what kind of virus affects their world.

Sharon or Erin?

AnnaDreamurr

Ooo!! This is a hard one, but I'd say Erin because I absolutely LOVE her personality. Despite being shy myself, I love strong characters. And I liked tht despite being kinda chaotic, she's super awkward. Her design is adorable too and I liked how you incooperate the bee family aspect in her design! The fact that she cut her hair and sold it for vodka was hillarious! Despite being a tough person she sleeps with plushies, so that was adorable. The bee family and her dad speaking in buzz language too was amazing (wonder if she likes jazz?). Sharon is also super cute!! I love the fact she had an emo goth phase while looking so soft! I feel really bad abt her eating disorders tho. I feel bad for Erin's mom too. I also love Hazel and Erin's friendship! Really cute characters!!


From the father daughter duo, who do you like more, Ophelia or Dr?

Andrew_Artz

I’d have to choose Dr!

his profile says he’s kind, sweet, and caring, who wouldn’t love that? I’d probably choose someone like that over someone who is more unhinged :p 

I love the overall vibes he gives off, and his design radiating all those warm colors is perfect! He looks like someone who would be a good listener if you talked to him.

And I won’t lie, I’ve always had a weakness for long-haired males (bonus points if they sport facial hair, which your guy does!)

***

NP; of my two personas, which do you like more, Drew or Sohal?

VimCurio

Definitely Sohal! Love the name, plus I'm always drawn to nature loving characters! Totally dig the design too, gorgeous coloring and I enjoy seeing different designs for satyr and faun characters -- the scarf is a nice touch and I like how it also goes over his shoulder too. Sweet and charming personality is a bonus!

Out of this chaotic duo, who do you prefer -- Drago or Elio?

Starpy

After reading both their bio description, I feel like it's a bit hard to pick on who I prefer most. Cuz I honestly think they're a silly duo and I'm always into those type of character dynamics!!💜💜💜

 Though, I gotta go with Drago, like first of all, he did what now when he stubbed his toe??1? I bet Elio had to call it off (+convinced Drago that it's not a fatal injury) cuz of how expensive the bill will be if Drago had been taken to a hospital just to take care of a stubbed toe. Also the part of his trivia where it said that he is a police academy reject sort of piqued my interest and I'd love to read a short story or explanation of it. And lastly, I don't wanna make it about me, but like I relate so much with him on the fact that he doesn't like being touched (it's so stressful oml 😭)

------------------------

These 2 characters are unrelated to each other, but which one do you prefer? 👀

Toinette or Nemu
