Experimental OC Profile Writing [Hiatus]

Posted 8 years, 1 month ago (Edited 5 years, 10 months ago) by Waltz

Hello all! I'm needing a bit of a writing warm-up, so I wanted to open some interesting requests.

I would like to write your character profiles! More specifically, I'd like to write some abstract interpretations or drabbles for OCs who do not yet have any written profile information.

What do I mean by abstract? Rather than simply telling a straight narrative, I enjoy writing passages that capture a brief moment, or a feeling that personifies a character—more of a mood piece, if you will. I find them to be useful jumping-off points for developing a character further, or simply useful on their own if I don't care to write much more.

A few examples of these:

[ wind ] [ destroy ] [ softness ] [ autumn ] [ dark ]

As these will be largely open to my interpretation, this is primarily intended for characters who you have little information about, such as designs you don't yet know what to do with, or other vaguely anchored OCs.

If you are interested in this, please fill out the form below:

 

Character Link: A link to the profile of the character you are requesting for.
Mood/Keywords/Theme: Is this a more somber character? A more cheerful one? Is there any particular theme you would like me to incorporate, such as "nature" or "blood" or "starlight"? Are there any specific terms you would like to see appear?
Other Details: Is this character meant to be geared towards a specific setting, or associated with another character? Have you had any ideas about them already? If so, please give me a summary in brief of this information, as well as anything that should -not- be included. (Note: This will work better with more open-ended requests, so if you're looking for something very specific, please PM me about commissions.)
Song (optional): If you have any songs in mind that could work as a theme for the character, drop me a link! It can help guide me on this, and I can incorporate it as in the profiles above. If you're interested and don't already have one in mind, I can also attempt to locate a song that the character reminds me of, but be warned that my tastes run pretty erratic, so if my general listening habits don't jive with you, you may want to skip that option ^^;
Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): You will notice this on a number of my profiles, but I like to toss on random Japanese phrases just for fun. Let me know if you would like any of these included or not! (Note: In case you can't read them, there is no deep meaning to most of these phrases; they are included purely for flavour! If you want these I'll be happy to include a translation for you, as well!)

 

These will not be first-come, first-serve, and I can't promise that I'll get to everyone, but I'll do as many as time and inspiration allow me!

Because these are experimental and 100% free, I will not be redoing any of them, but I don't mind if you decide not to use them, or wish to modify them. You are welcome to use these for any personal, non-commercial use, so long as you do not claim original authorship. Credit is appreciated, but wholly optional!

Looking forward to writing about your characters! <3

Waltz

@princeton Oh! Suppose I should be more clear on it xD

These are free for now! I may end up charging later, but at the moment I'm just looking for some fun warm-ups, so there's no charge <3

Edit: Hee, glad you think so <33

Waltz

AscheRune Well! Since I am incapable of doing anything halfway, this turned into more of a drabble than a blurb, but I just couldn't get this scene out of my head!

Jaeger ]

You mentioned him being a class clown, so I pictured him as being in high school, but if he's meant to be older then you can imagine this is a scene from his youth, perhaps xD

Hope you enjoy it! <3

dirtriot

/wheezes loudly i love your writing style so much <3

Character Link: http://toyhou.se/295247.lamia
Mood/Keywords/Theme: Isolated, fierce, passionate, greedy.
Other Details: I've been playing around with the idea that she's conned her way into being a figure of worship by other beings/humans (BOY DO I LOVE ME SOME MORTAL-TURNED-IMMORTAL/GOD THROUGH DECEPTION TROPES) but I'm willing to be open to other ideas! Even if that idea is that she is literally immortal. Lmao. No other settings/details have been created for her.
Song (optional): Don't really have a song for her. Feel free to find one if you want!
Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): Why not! Haha.

Character Link: http://toyhou.se/295241.anat
Mood/Keywords/Theme: Blood-thirsty, deceptive, sexual. Craves being in contact with other people, although she tends to be detached emotionally.
Other Details: 'Cause she's a third eye dreamy I've been trying to figure out if/when her dust is defective, although I've been playing with the idea that hers would lead to cannibalism! If that doesn't work for you, no worries! No other settings/details have been created for her.
Song (optional): I'm a big fan of Gasoline by Halsey for her, although I'm open to seeing if you find anything else interesting!
Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): Go for it!~

If neither of them work for you, it's all good~~

moonmothra

What a lovely way to do a character profile!
My newest guy hardly has much to go by so sorry if he's a little too vague, lol.

Character Link: Kadel
Mood/Keywords/Theme: playful, swirling smoke and bubbling potions, magic, wandering old roads, traveler
Other Details: He's from a generic fantasy setting, feel free to have fun with him. I don't have anything more for him than what you see, haha~
Song (optional): None for him yet, feel free to add one if something comes to mind!
Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): No thank you~ c:

Waltz

AscheRune Hee, I'm glad!! <3

dirtriot omg tyy, I'll see what I can do for your babs~

 

@princeton lol okay if I'm not careful this'll turn into a drabble thread xD I couldn't help but write a bunch for your two babes. I absolutely love the concept of them, and these are great choices of music!!

Matsuri ] [ Shino ]

Hope you enjoy <333

Waltz

@princeton Aah, I'm so glad <333

storms-in-orbit omg I'm so jelly, I wanted to bid on that guy so bad xD Congrats on getting him!

 

dirtriot Bwehehe, you give me a gore theme and I sure as hell will run with it~ The song you chose for Anat is gorgeous too, omg, I hadn't heard it before. secretly my agenda is just to collect more music reccs lawl

For Lamia I picked a song from my favourite band because I'm super lame and of course I would xD But it's the first thing that popped to mind for her. You're welcome to keep it or pop something else in there or what have you. I decided to skip the Japanese for Anat because it didn't quite fit in.

Anat ] [ Lamia ]

Anywho, hope I did these girls some justice <33

noizora

These look super cool for profiles >v> perhaps consider these guys?

They're both super unfinished characters heh hope they're not hard to work off of ;v;

Character Link: http://toyhou.se/300443.dana
Mood/Keywords/Theme: A seemingly stoic and intimidating character, she tries to uphold an image of being strong and fearless. At times, she overreacts on specific emotions. Her character is associated with mist, illusions and deception. (feel free to include something that subtly mentions this if you want!)
Other Details: I really love how you wrote autumn in your sample, so something like that would be awesome c: short and simple!

Song (optional): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHONksx5R_0

Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): no thank you~

--

Character Link: http://toyhou.se/288679.carl
Mood/Keywords/Theme: Outgoing and confident with underlying mental health issues passed over from his teenage years who mostly has his shit under control now. He and Dana are character contrasts: he's lighthearted, warm and more personable. Can be possessive and over analytical.

Other Details: His character is linked with Dana as they support each other emotionally, so a para to match her would be great! In the same short structure as autumn. 
Song (optional): Haven't found a perfect match but perhaps something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsCPrboDunw 
Gratuitous Japanese (Y/N): no thank you~

Sorry there's not that much to go by on these characters //cry thank you for the opportunity though!

Waltz i just need to lie down for eternity because i love these? so damn much? oh my goddd? anat is so viscious and you captured what i was thinking of lamia like perfectly? (also just in general i have such a weakness of fierce/implacable women :') )

thank you waltz like literally a million thank yous <333333

(and i'll check out the music for lamia when i get on break!!! i am so interested to see what you picked. and yes halsey is amazing, i really love her stuff. i don't normally have favourite artists but i would definitely count her amongst them bc i really love the majority of her work. a lot of it really pulls no punches and feels really visceral to me.)
