Ask the person above OOC about their character!

Posted 6 years, 2 months ago (Edited 5 months, 17 days ago) by Luke (CHIEF) hedgemaze

There's a thread for asking IC questions to the character above, but I am a sucker for all dem sweet, sweet character development tidbits, so if you're like me and you've ever wondered what inspired someone to make their characters, here is the thread for you.

Post IC (but don't actually write IC) as the character you want the person below you to ask you a question about, or you can let them ask about any of your characters (or a certain group of characters)! Ask any question OOC to the above character's owner, like perhaps what inspired a certain design choice, what gave them the idea for the character in the first place, what aspect of their character they struggled most in writing, or if the character has changed significantly over time. Anything you want, really (it doesn't have to be a character development question: it can be any OOC question about the character, or a group of them). Claim first if you need time to look through their characters or read their profile(s). And after you've been asked a question, edit your post with your answer.

Rules:

  • Please try to ask an interesting question!
  • Nothing too sensitive here, please. If you must post something sensitive, use a spoiler cut or make the text and highlight color the same. There is another thread for NSFW questions.
  • Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your question! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your question in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
  • You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
  • Wait at least a couple of posts before going again.
  • You can bump the thread as often as you like; I don't mind.
  • BE NICE!  

I'll start us off with this guy. Have fun!


Edit: my answer

So Luke and the other two terrorists were inspired by an incident when my friend and I were in high school, and running around the neighborhood like the teenage idiots we were, wearing all the Halloween costume items from my basement that we could manage: among them, a Christmas reindeer antler headband and a child's toy fireman helmet. A guy yelled out of the window of his pickup truck that terrorists like us are what America stands against... which was an insane thing to yell at teenagers in stupid costumes, but it made me think, what if I played that guy straight and he was right?


Interested in more games for character questions?

All my forum games and threads

Klecy Moonhelm Levelup

Was he created for his setting, or was his setting created around him? It seems pretty in depth, but when I look at him, I don't really think "zombie apocalypse survivor"

V

Most magic users in her setting are prone to being eccentric and showy, and Klecy wanted to be a proficient magic user for a looong time because her mother is one and it's their special interest, it just so happened that she liked clowns, and wanted a jester aesthetic. She's a showy person in general, so she's more of a "magic performer" than she is strictly a court jester, though she has a habit of insulting royalty and giving them bad news, anyway.

Her sister, best friend, and even her father are ninjas of different styles, and had she not been as magically inclined, she'd be a circus performer by day, and an acrobatic, very visible ninja by night. She USUALLY doesn't care too much that she can't heal people, but she'd get all jealous and indignant if she saw someone heal so much as a paper cut with magic.

Vidia Steep RabbitJaguar

What inspired Klecy to become a jester? Has she always wanted to be one or did she have any other dream? How does she feel about her inability to perform healing magic? Does she want to improve one day?

No one really knows how Vidia's head works, and she isn't very inclined to tell people. However, she does seem to require food (although she'll only eat it when she's sure she's alone), and covering the blank face on her die where her mouth would be will muffle her voice, and covering where her eyes would be will blind her.

Whisper Kawaii_kukki

What was the reason behind genetically engineering Henry?

__

The hood was sort of inspired by an AJ item, whisper along with echo were both originally characters my brother and I would play as to troll people on AJ lol

\/ lol I got on it recently after not playing for a while, but I wasn't on for very long, tbh there's not much to do on there anymore, all the roleplays have gotten boring it seems.

 Copper Baisol

^^ yeye from what i've seen the game is super dead

^ omg.. I haven't played that in so long lol, nice!

Were there any particular inspirations/vibes that led you to designing whispers outfit? It's super pretty n unique!

NP: You can also ask about any other ocs!

V thank you :DD

I imagine it's closer to the second option, probably some really expensive steel that wont rust (or at least wont rust easily?)
And ye, I imagine she often cleans it as well

(👑) Lynn sleepy

Copper is such a pretty name! also her playlist is top tier.

ANYWAY. When it comes to robot or cyborg characters, I always wonder about how their maintain themselves. Does Copper's robotic/metallic armor rust, or is it made of some sort of stainless steel? Does she use any sort of polish to keep it nice and shiny?

VV Lynn hates fireworks. Her hearing is very sensitive. Unfortunately she finds that earplugs don't really block out noise very well (at least in her opinion), so she'll usually opt for playing music through earbuds to drown out background noises she doesn't like.

I chose to make lucid shared dreams an ability that modern jackalopes have lost, as opposed to their ancestors who had much better reign over their magic. I'd say jackalopes from centuries prior could definitely control the lucidity of shared dreams.

Thycis Serotina

In the spirit of the season, how is Lynn handling the fireworks right now?

Is there a reason lucid dreams are exempt from shared dreams?


VVV What an interesting question! I love it!

Thycis sees Hillenger as different, much in the same way he views Salisburg the Fifth(NOT the fourth, lol). Both of them rule fairly and let even the smallest and "least important" of their citizens speak to them freely. While Salisburg does this in spite of his father's legacy, Hillenger comes from a long line of generous and kind dukes. Thycis still has complex feelings on being a ruler himself, but he has hope that with Hillenger he'll be able to share the wealth of the dukedom and keep the people happy. Were it anyone other than Hillenger he'd likely be much less excited about his future

Veldrynne Avinsin ShadmeTheAngel

Omg Thycis is such a cool character! I had such a good time reading through his bio. 

His relationship with the nobility is complex! It seems like he loathes them and thinks they deserve to be knocked down a peg, but at the same time if he were to marry Hillenger he would become a noble, right? Does he see this as a necessary evil, or will finally being in a position of nobility soften him to the idea of being one of them?

Paelryss wingnettle

ShadmeTheAngel How's a drow different from an elf? Why is she special?

Ash Louis (Asher [Past]) denishdraws

is Paelryss inspired by a crocodile, snaping turtle, and a dragon? are they can swim? just curious

---

hmmm. I think it's more to fill their free time. since Tash refuses to go outside and Asher wants to go out

Where did you get the idea of mixed DNA? I remember when he had jellyfish, horse, and whatever else DNA in him. What made you go a more simple dino DNA route?

Alfis Desnorhai SymeSynth

So... what's the deal with the parasite-stomach of sorts? Any notable story as to why he has it?


His name was honestly just the result of me going for funky and distinct names, which is how I go with most character names.

As for what a baphomet is? In his world, essentially magical goat-esque beings with incredible magical potential. A bit like fantasy goat kemonomimi, so to speak. There's likely a good bunch of varieties ranging from the more common goat types to fairly odd types like the mountain goat. Alfis himself may be closer to the mountain goat type, hence the insane climbing skills.

Void Void_Lizard

How much of a disaster would it be in Slader had his own body, or was able to take control all the time? Would he limit it, or just go hog wild on the violence?


For whatever reason, Void just really clicked with me. I was going through a lot at the time and things were changing depth me, and maybe it's because I was drawing whatever felt good at the moment, but he ended up just appealing so much more than I expected. I had also just like a month or two prior changed fursonas and the new one didn't click as much yet, so I was in a position where I didn't feel like I had a fursona. Void happened when I needed him.
