Iso's OC Question of the Day

Posted 8 years, 9 months ago (Edited 7 years, 3 months ago) by Isoprene

Listen, there's nothing I love more than answering random questions about my OCs and seeing other people answer random questions about their OCs. Conveniently, I also love coming up with random questions and asking them. So, hey, why not make it a daily event? In this thread I'll post a question every day, all of them related to OCs! Sometimes it'll be about your feelings about your OCs ("who's your favorite oc?" or "who was your first oc?") and sometimes it'll be questions asked toward your OCs themselves ("what are your ocs' favorite colors?" or "would your ocs rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?"). You can answer in-character or out of character, answer for multiple characters or just one, whatever you want!

I'll try to ask these early in the day, and you're always welcome to answer any ones that you've missed! Feel free to answer as many as you want at once; just be sure to label which question you're answering! I also have a huge list of questions waiting in the wings, but if you have any questions you'd like to see asked feel free to message me and I'll credit and ping you if I end up using your question!

Q1. Who was the first OC you made a profile for on Toyhouse? Why them?

The first OC I made a profile for here was Dicro Corrune! He's the most well-known OC of mine amongst my friends (most of my friends don't have a lot of profiles up yet but he'd have the most links), is probably my most important character overall even though I have like 50 different OC universes and he's only connected to a few, and if he's not my favorite OC overall he's pretty darn close. There's a lot of me in him, too, so I feel like putting him up first provides a decent insight into both the kind of person I am and the kind of characters you'll probably see from me. Plus he has the most images, the most writing, is the most fun to RP with, and is one of my oldest active OCs... it was an obvious choice for me!

We did it, guys! We hit the big five-o! Thanks for sticking around with me for long, and thanks to all of the new people who keep joining in! It's pretty cheesy, but it means a lot to me that people like answering my silly little questions! It's been a lot of fun reading everyone's answers, and I hope I'll keep being able to read more until either I run out of questions or the heat death of the universe!!!

Q50. Which of your OCs like to answer questions about themselves the most?

Definitely Bonnie! He's a junkie for personality quizzes and will reblog every zodiac post, tag yourself post, and ask meme he sees. He really just likes putting random information about himself out there, and he's completely shameless so he'll answer just about any question freely. It's just something he finds fun, but he couldn't really tell you why. He'd probably just say "because I'm awesome B)" and go back to taking a "what Naruto character are you" quiz on an archive of Quizilla even though he's never watched Naruto in his life.

also i still have to answer yesterday's aaaaa)

Q48. Do you have any OCs who have radically changed from their original concept?

I think all my "old" characters (mostly made when I was still in middle and high school... 10-15 years ago) have changed since their initial concept. It's inevitable, really--as I've changed as a person, so have they, in order to reflect my changing thoughts, attitude, and experiences. But I'll list just the characters who have changed the most. (However, some of the characters I've changed most dramatically are not yet up on Toyhouse, as I'm still working on them.)

Surprise surprise--Alexander is one of these characters. I'm pretty sure I came up with him when I was... 12, 13? He started out as a doodle on a piece of notebook paper, and was initially meant to be an antagonist to my Pokemon trainer-sona character, Sam. He was much more roguish and carefree, committing thefts simply for the fun of it and to show off his skills. He was really just made up for a minor villain role in a side story I had come up with (a medieval/fantasy-type Pokemon world setting), but when that didn't really pan out, I tried to transplant him into the main series of fanfics I was working on. Since then, I've had to tweak him quite a bit, and he's become a very deep and serious character as a result.

Likewise, Sam has changed quite a bit. She was basically a self-insert of me in the Pokemon world as a trainer, and I've played around with her a lot over the years to find something I was comfortable working with and didn't smack of "cheesy childhood Mary Sue" character (even though I have a really dim view of people who care about that term). I no longer really see her as me (though she still represents me as an avatar), since her personality has evolved into something rather different than original. She also started to interact with Alexander more and more as I incorporated him into the story, and they both inadvertantly fell in love. I honestly had not planned it that way, but it worked out and I am super happy that it did. They're so cute. ;_;

Another drastically different character from what I originally created them to be is Bix. She started out as a very normal girl. She was a bounty hunter, but very professional and level-headed about it. She was the voice of wisdom for some of the other characters in the story, and was very moralistic despite her field of work. Now? She is a two-faceted gal with a very cute, playful side and a very serious, bloodthirsty side, who can be incredibly immature at times and really isn't concerned with morals as much (though she's still a good person deep down). I think her 180 was a result of me and my then-boyfriend RPing and world building, and I changed her up a lot so she didn't sound just like one of my other characters. x)

And, probably my most recent character that changed fairly dramatically is Liam. He is one of my few adopted designs, and when I first got him, I had planned for him to be a femboy--very feminine, pretty, and fond of women's clothing. However, after doing a few RP sessions, those ideas didn't stick. He's still fairly pretty and elegant in his style, but is not really a femboy anymore. He also doesn't like women's clothing (well, he still likes the undergarments). I wanted to make him a submissive sort of guy (since most of my other male characters are dominant), but it just didn't stick either. I don't know what it is, but I can't RP submissive men. xD;

Q49. Do you have any OCs who have had their designs radically changed from when you first conceptualized them?

Honestly, I don't really... think so? Once I come up with a character's initial design, I tend to stick fairly closely to it, even as the character evolves over time. I might make some alterations to the outfit or minor features, but I rarely change major features of a character's design.

Trese here is probably the most dramatic redesign I have on hand, though that's mostly because I changed the timeframe of the story he's in. Originally, he was going to be a 12-year old boy when the story took place, but since then, I've found I prefer to work with adult characters. So he's been bumped up to 20-years old, and has gotten a grown-up design to match. The rest of the cast in his story has yet to be posted here on Toyhouse, because I'm actually working on dramatic redesigns for almost all of them. They are probably my only characters that I cannot settle on designs for; they've been redesigned probably 4 times and I'm still not happy. -_-

Q50. Which of your OCs like to answer questions about themselves the most?

I think Missy would love to answer those kinds of questionaires and stuff. I can see her being on social media a lot and enjoying fun quizzes like that. She's also a very empathetic person who likes to chat with others about feelings and the like, so she's comfortable sharing her thoughts in an "interview" like environment.

Alexander is also big into that kind of thing, though it's partly because I like personally using him to answer character questionaires, since he's one of my best developed characters. xD Still, I do like to think he would enjoy it, simply cause it gives him an excuse to talk about himself. He's not really self-centered or anything, but he does like to complain about his woeful past and get sympathy for it. ^^;

Q49. Do you have any OCs who have had their designs radically changed from when you first conceptualized them?

Whoops, basically answered this question the other day :p

The biggest change was Leysa probably, who used to be a redhead with a fair chest, freckles, and scrawny. Now she is thicker with dark hair and skin, the differences always amuse me there. Willa has also had a lot of changed, she used to be more robotic with her joints being visible and brown eyes with chobits like ear pieces. Her changes happened mostly because I wanted to make her less chobits esc but still robotic.

Q50. Which of your OCs like to answer questions about themselves the most?

Griffin is an open book and is extremely comfortable answering questions, whatever they are really. He has a lot of confidence in himself, but doesn't necessarily push the conversation to talk about himself. Io might like talking about themselves a lot but not necessarily questions.

5inthemorning my heart....... thank you for your interest!! i got like 50 questions saved for future use so hopefully i'll keep coming up with more for a long time! though eventually the questions will probably be like "uhhh i don't know what kind of pasta would your ocs be"

also vivian is me

Q51. what kind of pasta would your ocs be Do you have any joke characters, or at least any characters who primarily serve as comic relief?

well first off dicro would definitely be spaghetti I do! It's kind of funny how some of them have developed, though. Bunny (who doesn't have a Toyhouse or even a Charahub for some reason rip) is probably the biggest example. I doodled him in a comic of mine once back in middle school where he threatened to rip off heads to get cheez burgers (the spelling is important), and once I started doing big RP plots he hung around the heroes, the villains, and really everyone else to just be the plot mascot. Then he wound up offering a lot of exposition to every side, knew a bunch of stuff nobody else knew, and eventually he wound up being revealed as a Higher Being: a small group of beings who are, for the sake of my RPs, the most powerful beings in Entirety (just below the Creator) and the personifications of abstracts such as time, space, and empathy.

He still likes cheez burgers and perpetually makes that :3 face, though.

Focusing on people I actually have Toyhouse profiles, for, still yes! Charity is basically just a Christmas gag who's a vehicle for wacky holiday-themed stories or RPs. Thyx was originally supposed to be someone who could be taken seriously, but the first time I used him I realized I had no idea how to RP as him and wound up making him kind of an incompetent loser so I could push him off to the side. Thyx thinking he's super cool and powerful but actually being a bumbling dork stuck, and he became a memetic character in my RP community to the point where people started writing joking erotic fanfiction about him with other popular RP characters. And a cheeseburger. And a Doritos Locos Taco™. And himself.

Now Thyx is involved with most of my more important characters and he keeps kind of worming his way into everything, serving as comic relief. I don't think I'd have it any other way. My OCs have entered a new era... one that's TOTALLY METAL!!!!!!!!

Dude Buttington is ravioli Dude Buttington, they are the best and I hope I don't make anyone pissed with them but, still the best. I want to add more but they were honestly Dude Buttington was something I did while playing on TH at school and randomly doodled them and then, that happened... I just need to be bored and in an unusual mood. I also need more art of them, it's needed.
