Eden Pastafang

Expectation: Judging from all the piercings and the dyed hair, I immediately get the impression they are a bit of an edgelord, probably quite rebellious. The expression tells me they have a snarky and sarcastic personality. Also, are those fangs I spy? So I'm guessing they're not entirely human. Vampire, perhaps? Or maybe part snake, considering the surname "Vipers"? Looks quite young, I'd guess in the teens, or young adult at the most.

Reality: okay, a little bit older than I expected, still a relatively young adult though. I am surprised to see he is indeed human, albeit spider-mutated. Speaking of, I wasn't expecting him to be a spiderman character. I'm actually quite surprised to find out he is a superhero who likes protecting people, it seems he has a nicer personality than I expected. I guess you could say I was right about him being rebellious though, since he ran away from home (but tbh I don't blame him, with a father like that). I guess I was also wrong about the dyed hair though lol I didn't realise it was naturally blue.

Farouk weirdocstuff

Expectation: Based on this messy hair, he went through quite a lot in his life, and perhaps is dealig with an apocalyptic and/or dystopian world. Stress made his hair turn grey way quicker than usually. I think he has lost someone really, really close to him - and i dont know why I immediately thought of a daughter or a younger (or older?) brother, but !! Based on the name, perhaps he's in a dystopian "holy" setting, with angels and all this stuff but in a messed up way. I also believe he only drinks coffee and grief eats him alive. He's against the current Society Norms.

Reality: Oooh, i was already right with an holy setting, considering he is a demon hunter and was reborn was an angel!? I've not expected to him being "the light of the party" and bringing joy to others, but tbh it makes lots of sense giving that this is his facade because he`s too depressed for anything (which I was kind of correct !!). And wow, im intrigued at the twist with his younger brother being believed-dead but returning as a demon and putting heavy grief on Eden - grief for his father and grief for the brother he had lost! I THINK, my assumptions about Eden's backstory went into the right dirction with him grieving and a brother or daughter beign dead - though, hes not 100% dead, only like... mentally? emotionally? And wow, Eden ignoring the back-then encounter with his brother leading to another death .. WOW, this man is full of grief, as predicited !!

"Agent" AbsolutelyHuman

Expectations: okay, this looks like a fantasy character, dare i even say DnD? The outfit is very much giving me rouge/assassin with some sort of connection to the arcane. Perhaps that has something to do with the moon tattooed into their forehead. Maybe it's night/shadow/darkness related magic that helps them blend in even better to kill or steal undetected. The scar on their face might be from one of their jobs gone wrong. Perhaps they got caught in action and attacked by a guard, barely escaping. Despite all this they do look very kind, perhaps they only go after justified targets, such as corrupt lords or bank owners hoarding wealth. In case they are more theft oriented they might be a Robin Hood figure. Otherwise they might be trying to get out of their job, or they already have and is coping with the aftermath, finally finding peace for themselves. Yet they still have the abilities from their earlier ways 

Reality: OHHH... a resistance movement. I guess that is sort of similar to a rouge or character who relies on hiding? Okay okay he's an architect that's cool, although definitely not something i was expecting. Sorry this is so messy i'm typing while reading. BUT HE DOES JOIN A THIEVES GUILD I WAS RIGHT. Awe poor guy just wanted to do some good, accidentally fell i love and fucked up bigtime. 

 Mary Valentine Blonda4

Expectations: They looks pretty cool! I'm gonna guess about late 20s early 30s for age. Given they're named Agent, I'm gonna assume they do intrigue or assassination work, or maybe both. My guess on gender is male, though who knows they also give kinda butch lesbian vibes from the art. They look like they could easily blend into a crowd, which makes sense for being an agent. Seems pretty modern in dress. I'd guess personality is like the designated cool guy of the team, quiet and smooth talking, everyone respects them.

Reality: Correct on the gender and unsure on age! Also damn he tall. I see he's got stats for a TTRPG, though I don't recognize the game. I'm surprised he has relatively low wisdom and intelligence stats, figured he'd be smarter. Exterminator is kinda close to assassin, and I was right on people respecting him. Wasn't expecting him to be an amnesiac, though that makes it entirely funnier of him being the mysterious person archtype that doesn't know the mystery himself. The redacted information is also very interesting! All in all, very cool boy. :3

Giselle Neverbell🌸🧚🏼 Pulcella

Expectation: The name sounds very cutesy but the avatar looks so serious, so I'm thinking Mary is a no-nonsense sorta person. The type to try to be mature but people don't take her seriously. Not sure about backstory, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a dark one.

Reality: Oh wow! I was close! She has a tough exterior but is very anxious. And she's a magical girl, spider super hero?? I was definitely not expecting that at all lol. Also refreshing to see such a unique twist on the magical girl genre.

Pierre C0WGIRL

Expectation: Shes so cute. I'm thinking shes the kind of person to love frilly dresses and of course flowers and overall just. heavy fantasy vibes here from the name, emojis, and overall energy. 

Reality: AHH WOW ! i was pretty on !!! I own one of your designs so im cheesed to see you here. your art/design work is so clear and everything about Giselle here just works. like Yes. Thats a ballerina princess. I was thinking she'd be a bit more fun and carefree- but clearly from her overworking problem she cares alot.. i fink thats super interesting

Percy "PD" Dude Orisquirrelking

Expectation: I'm saying he's an artsy guy. Very chill, enjoys the little things in life like bread and cheese and meat. Looks a little. knightly hmm. Based on the art. Secret badass maybe


Reality: I'm so sad there's a whole point about him not liking bread 😭😭 he IS a badass but it's not a secret! I was spot on for the knight part, I love how he made his way up the ranks? Also him and his bf. I love them I'm not sorry

Matilda Rainbow000Pegasus

EXPECTATIONS: Suave looking guy. Can I just say he's evil? (laughs) No? Okay, but um, I'm thinking he's not actually evil. I'm going to guess maybe like... either a secret agent or a detective of sorts? I'm seeing that bowtie, and the sunglasses is giving me Men in Black vibes. Wondering if Percy maybe lives in a slightly less modern world, maybe in the 1900s? To get himself out of situations, he has his charms and quick wits, but gets into danger / trouble way too often due to either coincidences or his overconfidence. Maybe around late-30s to early 40s? Going to say 37. Watch me get it so wrong. He's not fond of something in his past... maybe... Adds to the mystery and charisma, no?

REALITY: A WHOLE DECADE OFF!! He's 47! "Close enough!" - no Rain, you are not!
Anyway, James Bond without the spy thing going on, AKA big flirt, big playboy, bonus disorders on top. Yes, he is fancy, and yes, he can shoot a gun, but no, he is not working in law enforcement hh, so I think me thinking he was in those kinds of jobs threw me off the most, but I think I got some of the traits right! I just didn't think he was as big of a flirt and didn't think the backstory would be that much more, uh, problematic. 

Birthday! StArLighT_GuTz

Expectation: Im thinking its a girl/fem oc. She looks like a warrior or a traveler. Not much to go off of soooo..

Reality: Im right about her being a girl, also id thought she would be an adult..i am..VERY wrong about that..lol. Also shes a Detective's Assistant..thats neat! Her attire is kinda what id thought itd be..soo

eh

Aurelio Lucille D. S. Nuclear-Hydrangea

expectation: the thumbnail screams "Sonic OC", but because of the darker look. It's has more connections to the creepypasta vein of Sonic OCs than the actual Sonic universe itself. I assumed the Birthday was kind of unseen entity that would control someone's well... birthday. What I have thought that the powers it may have is everyday seem to be birthday, and it's normally celebrated, though something's off. Especially the gifts it was given. It gets stranger as day progresses or whenever one's having a birthday. To the point the Birthday will take over or control you entirely. Maybe the character in the pfp is another character but Birthday is somewhere in there.

Reality: Now, Birthday is actually the hedgehog in the pfp and not an unseen entity. It's not some kind of eldritch entity that would corrupt someone during their birthday either. Rather an AI or a program for Sonic related media, a lonely one who celebrates his birthday alone, waiting for someone. He doesn't seem to be malicious but rather just, lonely. The character does gave me Sonic creepypasta vibes tho, from what I've seen on his profile and the folder it is part in. 


v accessories and boots are (p)leather though, the rest are not really.

Roxiflr Willowfern

Expectation: Hm, ok. I’m thinking a tiefling or drow character? Possibly? Could possibly be a demon, maybe. Fem OC, probably a magic-user. Wears dark clothes, dresses(?) and some leather stuff(?). Seems like a pretty cold personality, possible murderer. If not a flat out murderer, there’s definitely some murderous intent.

Reallty: Half correct! A cool half-angel, half-demon :0 They’re agender, whoopsie! I WAS RIGHT ABOUT MURDEROUS INTENT AKSJAKJA. Okay, haha, I did exactly what the bio said often happens and assumed they were cold lmaoo. Such a pretty design :0 I WAS RIGHT ABOUT LEATHERS (partially, they seem to be wearing some leather stuff in some of the images.)! Just, in general, a very nice OC with a very interesting story. I kind of skimmed it the first time, but I’m gonna reread it now because 🤌

Skullamander Void_Lizard

Expectation: Demon, Satan, or otherwise comically evil OC. Adult male, maybe in his 50's based on the grey hair? I see a business suit, so probably a banker, CEO, or other money-based job. Likely an antagonist. Would not surprise me if he was actually in Hell having fun tormenting souls. Otherwise, physically short, demon horns and tail, very red color scheme.


Reality: I was right about the demon thing, but not the visual age (actually mid/late 30's) or height (5'9'', I was thinking like 5'2''). I was way off about personality, he's actually pretty friendly! Described as bubbly and outgoing without bloodlust. He's  Hell's USA ambassador, which is amazing. Collects souls for Hell, not malicious about it, and actually has an angel as a buddy. Doesn't hate angels, despite being a demon. Roxiflr is very much attracted to said angel.


vv He's Salamander from another dimension, so they're related in that they're the same person, but not like siblings. Also, neither he nor Sala are actually evil, but I guess Skullamander does look a bit more like he'd be the evil one, with the skull thing and whatnot. 

Prince Awake_Ache

Expectation: I have heard the rumor of this guy from your oc Salamander, but this is my first time seeing him in the wild! Luckily, i never thought to look at his profile, so I have barely anything to go off of. For him, I am guessing that he is a sort of evil version of your hero? I am guessing that they aren't brothers due to him having the name Skullamander but rather them being the same person. Maybe Skullamander is the 'evil' part of Salamander that somehow escaped via spell or something? Or maybe he just got cloned and that clone went haywire!

Reality: OH MY GOD THEY'RE FRIENDS? Or I think? He's like the evil friend that will clearly grow up and get aressted. So he is evil, but he isn't the main threat, I think? He does like setting things on fire. As far as I can see, there is no relation to Salamander other than the fact that they would play video games. So I suppose Skullamander is just called that. However, his real name is Adriano Gévaudan but since he doesn't respond to that, I am guessing he hates it. He is also French, oui. That is not something I would've guessed in a million BILLION years.
