Q89. Do you have any specific voices imagined for your OCs?
Some of them, sort of. For a handful of my characters, I can hear it in my head but don't really have any examples to compare it to. Others are more imagined in the sense that... well, for example, I can voice all of Neoka's inflections and manner of speaking just the way I want it, but he just needs a guy voice and not my gal voice. XD Most of them I don't have anything to use as an example yet. For characters I have more concrete voice samples for though...
I imagine Theo's voice sounds sounds rather similar to Sam Martin's voice specifically in Lovers on the Sun, considering this is the song that spurred me to create a boyfriend for my Rapidash gal because I'm a dork like that, pun partially intended. And ever since I created him over a decade ago I always imagined Kiama had the voice of Yami-Yugi from the English Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes. XD Maybe not as over the top with the dramatic shouting, but the voice yes.
I also kind of imagine Jasper's singing voice is rather similar to the singer in this song, Moving into Light, especially the softer sections in the verses. His speaking voice would be a little more higher pitched and not quite as... uh, mature sounding...? Mostly because he's nervous all the time and talks kind of childishly, but he calms down a little while focusing on performing. Jazz isn't a lead singer though and just does small backups for his band, so he wouldn't be singing by himself like this on his own. He'd sing very quietly unless everyone else was playing and singing at the same time so he doesn't feel like anyone could hear him over the other sounds. But the voice fits in my head I think aside from that technicality. ^^; He kind of surprises his bandmates with how not-childish his singing voice is because they're so used to his nervous whimpery speaking voice. I also feel like Cornell would have a voice similar to Example, particularly when I think about the song Kids Again. He would speak in the lighter slightly higher tones most of the song is in, but he's capable of speaking in those lower pitches when needed. He just is a goof most of the the time and has a sing-songy voice often, except he wouldn't have that English accent and would sound more... I dunno, pirate-y. XD
Q90. Which OC of yours is the worst person?
Dang it, most of my hardcore villains don't have profiles yet. XD So all the ones I have up at the moment have at least one redeeming quality so they're not totally horrible in every way. Guess I'll pick out the worst out of the bunch then... I'm picking them out like... tournament style in my head for each page. ^^; So here are the worst of the 13 pages I have so far. This is gonna be long, but since when have we cared about long posts here?
1 - Arlyth is the worst person on page 1. He only cares about his own kind, and since the human empire destroyed the dark elves almost entirely he's very very spiteful at the moment. The only reason he's being remotely reasonable is because he's cooperating with two others to find the Ancients so they can UTTERLY DESTROY THE HUMANS IN REVENGE AH HA HA HA HACK I mean, keep them from taking over everything. So Arlyth isn't a good person, but he doesn't come off as too bad in the context of the story because he's being reasonable toward his travel companions for the time being... plus he kind of likes flirting with the forest elf prince, so he can't be super horrible to him. Otherwise it'll be harder to trick him into getting kissed. :P
2 - Bonnie wins page 2. She's a vengeful blood witch that eternally curses anyone who crosses her, and she's known for hexing all of her exes even trillions of years later in legend. XD Not a lady you want to mess with. She has her own agenda and only cooperates with people if she can use them to her advantage. But obviously she'll make them pay if they even try to turn the tables on her in return...
3 - Dolly, the serial killer that turns people into dolls, takes this page. She doesn't have any friends or redeeming qualities in terms of being good to others. She only cares about herself. ^^; Her sister Diana is also a horrible murderer, but at least she contributes to society while plotting.
4 - Erin Manalia wins this page. She's a remorseless assassin that has no loyalty to anyone, even the people that pay her. She'll follow orders until a better offer or opportunity arises, so she's not a trustworthy ally at all. The only person she has some compassion for is her alter, Zaran, who needs a profile, but even then she still torments the heck out of him and won't hesitate to beat him to a pulp. The only reason she's "compassionate" to him is that she won't actually kill him and will viciously protect him from anything else that endangers him.
5 - Although not technically a bad guy, Goeirthe is the worst person on this page. He's the elder of a blood cult and the current channeler to the blood god, and while he does what's best for his people he's not a particularly kind fellow to outsiders. He loves his grandson more than anything, so much that he hires a bunch of outsiders to escort him safely through the blood god's realm because he honestly doesn't care if outsiders survive the trip or not. Sure, other people in the clan would've been willing to protect him, but why risk them when you can trick these outsiders into dying for him instead? But he's a good grandpa to Terakuin, so I wouldn't say he's the worst.
6 - Kain is the worst person on page six, although he's at least a sympathetic villain. Sort of. He has an explosive temper and will brutally murder people just for something as mundane as spelling his name wrong. He's a bit of a control freak, manipulative, loves to torture people that defy him, and is not a person you want to be on the bad side of. However, he is completely and utterly loyal to those who actually earn his trust, so he's not all bad. He treats Criss and Vanessa very well, loving Vanessa far more genuinely than she does for him and looking up to Criss like an older brother. He doesn't forgive betrayals easily though... so that could easily change... His problem is mostly he's insecure and his past sucked.
7 - UUUUUUGH I wanna say Lloyd, but it's probably actually Kotaka. Kotaka is willing to destroy an entire planet and everyone on it without second thought to bring his own homeworld back to life. And he doesn't really care about anyone outside his own kind, and since almost all of them are dead, that means he only cares about his little sister at the moment. But GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH Lloyd is such a horrible person in his story. A lot of the things he does are HORRENDOUSLY UNFORGIVABLE, but... but it's not planetary genocide. ^^; So I think Kotaka does the worst thing overall, but I'd definitely hang out with him over Lloyd... at least how Lloyd is in his main story. Prologue-version Lloyd I actually adore.
8 - There... there isn't anyone bad on this page. o_O I guess I'll say Nakeeta, but she's not a bad person at all. She's just a little selfish and bratty sometimes, but that hardly qualifies. XD
9 - Nokken wins this page barely over Ragnarok. Nokken loves to lure people to their deaths for no reason but to... just... be able to do it. And he likes collecting their things when they drown in the swamp. Ragnarok is a bit more malicious I feel, but his redeeming quality is that he's completely the perfect husband for his tiny little wife... he even resists the urge to eat their children for her. XD Not the best dad, but those two were meant for each other. Nokken doesn't care about anyone else... so far. Never know what development might come next...
10 - This one goes to either Rusalka or Rick. Rusalka was a pretty good person until she went insane. Then she only cared about Caelus, but that translated into "I'M GOING TO KEEP YOU FOREVER WITH ME IN THE OCEAN" and then ignoring the fact that Caelus doesn't have gills or anything. ^^; Her morals are pretty much out the window because all she ever thought about was keeping Caelus with her somehow no matter what. Rick on the other hand could be a good person, but he kept flipping his alliances between two sides of a War. He's now known as the worst traitor of the Eternity's history because he just had to stab someone in the back...
11 - This one either goes to Sharen or Spite. Sharen does sort of redeem herself... but... but spoiler-y bad stuff first. DX And Spite is able to do good things like pull all the right strings as favors for people that earn his favor. BUT he's also not a good person because he owns the Blacc Marquette where it's perfectly acceptable to grab some random person off the street and sell them for profit without having any official ownership over them. Basically Spite accepts "merchandise" as long as you can get it over the counter. SELLING PEOPLE IS NOT OKAY SPITE but he doesn't care of course. Business is business. -_-
12 - Vanessa wins this page, woooo~ Go give your also-a-winner boyfriend a high five! Oh wait! You don't actually love Kain because you're a selfish opportunistic fairweather girlfriend. OH HO HO IS THAT LITERARY MEANING IN YOUR LAST NAME I THINK SO *sigh*
13 - And Zy wins the small 13th page, although he probably would've won a couple other pages too if he was on them. XD Kills on a hairline trigger, mass murderer and master assassin, doesn't really give a crap about anyone aside from his wife's family and their son, Volkmar. Another example of who not to give a Best Dad Ever mug to.
AAAAAAAND the overall winner now that I've narrowed it down ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS... hm... I guess I'm gonna say Dolly. The edge she has over everyone else is that she doesn't even have that one person that give them a soft spot. No soft spots, not even for her own sister. The only "soft spot" she would have is the affectionate side she has for her current target... but I wouldn't call that redeeming considering she only loves that person enough to turn them into a doll to love forever... Sooooo we have a winner~ Yay...?
