She usually has her own self interest in mind first and foremost, but she does enjoy the misery of other people as well and is very aware how terrible she is - and she enjoys it
I want to see a character who likes watching movies
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!
Chaos is made of the substance between dimensions (which is also named Chaos). It's presumably a liquid and it looks like overly blue anime water. That's not what it is.
A general advice is to not touch it. What will happen is worse than death.
I want to see a character that embodies all creation!
(o boy I got ninja'd but didn't notice because terrible internet connection and now someone replied to my thing but not the other one o jeez)
This asshole! She plays an online mmo and likes to trick people with her cute appearance that she's just some newbie player, and then she beats the everloving crap out of them. Snipes kills and is generally rude and has a nasty attitude. She's just unpleasant.
I want to see a character that hates the cold!
Istra gets a little possessive over Dicro and often experiences jealousy toward his other partners. It's kind of a new thing to them and they don't like the feeling... they're friends with Dicro's other partners and they don't want to drive Dicro away, but they also can't deny that they want Dicro to be with them all the time and get really uneasy when he spends too much time with other people. They're learning and getting better at relationships, but it's still hard for them to convince themself that Dicro isn't going to just get tired of them and abandon them for other people.
I want to see a character who's a deity!
Vohgan is one of the deities who claimed the sea as hers, but since she is the most powerful she's got the nerve to call herself the ocean god! She guides those who are about to die at sea and makes them immortal in exchange for worship. She's one of the most benevolent gods on Life.
I want to see a character who has an unusual personality for their position (a benevolent yet strong god, a sympathetic bully, the owner of a giant company who isn't a greedy fuck, etc.)
For someone who leads people Lorenzo isn't really good at dealing with them. Outisde of giving orders, he tends to shut himself in in his room. If it wasn't for his brother, he probably wouldn't know anything about his crew aside from their names and performance abilities. He's trying to get better, though.
I want to see a character that tries their hardest (whether or not they succeed is up to you)
He tries. O he tries so hard to be trusted. To make people see he's not as bad as they think. But his inability of showing emotions has made it so hard. So hard.
And when he finally succeeds... he breaks... and becomes exactly that what people thought he was.
I want to see a character that made a terrible sacrifice to save that what they held most dear
No matter what Rys does, he tries his best to finish. Even when things seem to take a turn for the worst, he still tries if it means that the people close to him,(his guardian Eli, his best friend Khons, or even his mother figures Em and Kali) are happy and safe.
I want to see a character who is not afraid to be themselves in any situation.
