I want to see a character with a death in thier history
Welcome to the hottest new forum game on the block, my buddy chum pals!! How does it work? Simple! Someone posts asking to see a certain kind of character, and the next poster posts IC with/links to a character of theirs who fits that description! So, for example:
User A: I want to see a character who has black hair!
User B: My OC, Dicro, has black hair! Isn't it fluffy? Don't you just want to ruffle it? Okay, I want to see a character who made a deal with the devil!
User C:
Lysis did that once. It was a terrible idea. I want to see a character who's a baker!
Need more examples? No problem! Here's some examples of good and bad questions! Essentially, try not to get so specific or tricky that it's unlikely anyone will have an applicable story - you're not trying to stump people, you're trying to see cool OCs!:
Design-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character with heterochromia! / with a blue and yellow color scheme! / with a fancy hat! / with a ponytail!
❌ ...with one red eye and one blue eye! / who has yellow hair and blue skin! / who always wears a fez! / who has a big pink ponytail bigger than they are!
Species-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who's a mermaid! / a feral character! / is a taur of some kind! / is from a(n open/closed) species!
❌ ...who's a goldfish-based mermaid! / a Mustela erminea character! / an onager taur! / is a (insert specific open/closed species here)!
Personality-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who's snarky! / who likes puns! / who never gives up! / who's quick to fight!
❌ ...who literally only speaks to be snarky! / who always makes puns about weather! / who's so stubborn that they've died and don't even know it! / greets others by drop-kicking them!
Abilities-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who controls fire! / with super strength! / who can fly! / who used to have powers but no longer does!
❌ ...who can control candlelight but that's it! / who gets their strength from artichokes! / who can shapeshift into a fly and ONLY a fly! / who lost their powers in a wacky boating accident!
Relationship-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who's in love with another user's OC! / with a tight-knit family! / who has a rival!
❌ ...who's in love with one of my OCs! / with a family where the cousins are all close but the grandkids hate each other! / who has a skateboarding rival!
Backstory-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who's been abducted before! / whose past involved illness! / who's died at least once!
❌ ...who was abducted by aliens from Neptune! / who had (really specific illness goes here) / who's been killed by a devious kitten before!
Setting-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character from the future! / who lives on an island! / who's involved with the mafia! / who was transported to another world!
❌ ...from the year 2046! / who lives on an island that no longer exists! / who watched The Godfather like twice! / who was transported from Earth to Mercury!
Meta-Based:
✔️ I want to see a character who doesn't have a name yet! / who has over 20 images! / with a lot of links! / who doesn't have any favs yet!
❌ ...whose name starts with F and ends with W! / who has over 200 images! / who has 38 links! / who has over 100 favs!
Now, some people do have characters like this, and many of these "bad" requests are cool concepts! But they're kinda specific. If you have questions on whether your question is too specific/difficult or not, feel free to send me a PM and I'll let you know!
If you're worried, you can include a 6-hour conditional so that you can post your request without holding the thread up for too long if it ends up being too obscure! For example:
In fact, some of those "bad" requests above would be acceptable as long as a 6-hour conditional was included! It's a useful tool, so if you're even a little unsure about your request it's a good thing to include!
You can make your conditional shorter if you'd like, but not longer; if you say someone say something along the lines of "if 12 hours pass, then x works" then disregard that and apply that conditional at 6 hours as per the rules. Remember: the rules of the thread overrule a participant's post! If they get upset about it, it's on them for not having read/followed the rules.
If this thread goes on without any posts for 12 hours, anyone can go ahead and move the thread along with an entirely new request!
Rules:
If you see someone violating the rules or frequently issuing requests that seem designed to trip the thread up, contact me so I can send them a warning and/or update the rules if necessary! If they continue to violate the rules, I'll block them so they can't access the thread. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to PM me or leave a comment on my profile!
Alright, now let's get this thing started!
I want to see a character who has horns!
Nelor's witnessed and contributed to the murderous side of a bloody war, his brother died (though he has forgotten due to an amnesiac component to the circumstance), and even died himself before coming back. Quite a deal of death!
I want to see a character who's a great strategist.
Istra has lived for well over 150 years! They're so old that no one really knows how old they are. They've been around for countless millennia, with records of their existence stretching back toward the dawn of Entirety.
I want to see a character who always wears headphones!
I have several characters with such a color scheme, especially since I'm very fond of yinyang symbolism! Therefore, here's Leppo, the fully-white asshole (though his human form has black hair and dark blue eyes)
I want to see a character who was or is involved in a love triangle (or more) and is aware of it and dislikes it a lot
Raven just really wants Lucas effin Serafin to stay the fuck away from his precious.
It's not really a love triangle persay (Yuu is kind of like the One Ring to Raven and Lucas has some memories) but Yuu certainly treats it like that.
I want to see a character who is 'hydrokinetic'... But not with water! (But some other liquid)
His outfit is kind of outdated and due for a revamp, but if Torenn had the option he'd probably just not wear any clothes. ^^; I mean, he's part dryad so it would be easier to just not wear them, and he's also blind so it's not like he can even see what they look like. But he's got an odd condition where prophetic symbols randomly appear on his skin and just stay there, so he needs to keep the important ones covered up somehow. Plus he's living in a relatively modern society now sooooooo probably should wear something. XD So, he doesn't particularly dislike his clothing, but he certainly doesn't like them either.
I want to see a character who is either a plant person or lives symbiotically with some kind of plant growing on them.
