OC QUESTIONS PART 1

What is an OC?

An OC, or original character, can be rather a fan-made character (i.e, a Harry Potter fan-character like Asia: she doesn't exist in the actual series but in fanfictions set in the Harry Potter world, she does), or a completely original character (such as a character created for an original manga).

Do you have any OCs?

 I have 3 major OCs at this point: Rinji Shukei/Yukinko Bosetsu (a Bleach anime fan-character), Goldicat the Cat (a FNAF fan-character that has since her invention been developed into more of a mascot; she is more of a completely original character now, as her inspiration was from a series but I developed her away from it), and Asia Abernathy-Lovegood (a Harry Potter fan-character created and placed in Silens I). 

______________________________________________________________________________________________-

OC Questions 

1. Does s/he play an instrument (and is s/he good at it)?
 
2. What is his/her personality and defining character traits (not appearance, but personality)?
 
3. What is his/her appearance and defining physical trails (appearance)?
 
4. What is his/her fashion sense?
 
5. What are his/her character flaws?
 
6. What is a short overview of his/her past/history?
 
7. Who would s/he save first (and in what order would s/he save the others): beloved parent, best friend, pet, complete stranger, baby?
 
8. Does s/he struggle with:
    8.1: External conflict (AKA an injury like a twisted ankle or something more serious)?
    8.2: Man VS Man conflict (such as trying to kill or find someone)?
    8.3: Internal conflict (such as mental illness)?
 
9. Is s/he:
    9.1: Completely original?
    9.2: A fan-character?
    9.3: A mascot?
    9.4: A representation of you?
 
10: What is his/her motives and goal?
 
11. How does s/he treat friends?

IMPORTANT NOTES

-Never make a character "perfect". AKA, as for question 5., do not say "S/HE HAS NO CHARACTER FLAWS". That makes the character unrealistic, and makes you, as the author, sound a little cheesy. I learned this the hard way. 

-That being said, don't make a character overly "tragic" either. If the character is the ONLY tragic character, then that's fine, but try to find sunshine in their life, if only just a little.

-Be creative, and don't copy directly from sources such as your favorite books/mangas/shows/animes/etc.

-Answer the questions below! Remember to list your character's name, gender, race (alien, human, etc), age, if s/he is a fan-character (and if s/he is, from what fandom s/he's from), etc. Enjoy! I will answer the question in a different post with my 3 OCs.

Her names super similar to Avina's XD.  I like Alexian. Hahaha, pretty similar with the instruments too.

When, I'm in a uncomfortable situation. I kind of get really quiet and act weird. Being weird just brings me comfort. I guess.

Anyway, She is awesome

Wow she sounds like me expect I have never killed anyone! XD

Love it I should do one!

Hahaha, I keep doing thatplotting*Smirks*. Guess we're really similar. ( no, she isn't based off of me, but she isn't based off of people I know either.)

Yeah, you should *sees that you did * 

I used this to sort of develop her as a character. Sometimes, I can't crack the code, but she really came easy. :D

What do you think of her ?

I have soooooooo many XD many  are superheros  though

She plays a instrument from her own world called the Flyre (  Small and smooth sounding) . She is quite good at that only because she is a quick learner.

She is very hotheaded , stubborn, and is quick to speak, but she's smart, and loyal  .

She looks kind of like Zendaya overall. Except younger and  a more definite face shape and rounder eyes. She has REALLY curly  black hair streaked with mint green.                    She is on the short side and has a thin build.

   She couldn't care what she was wearing although she tends to have wraps around her hands and  long boots. 

   Hot headed and doesn't think before she acts.

In Eleven years of life , she  has had a lot of stuff happen to her. Her mother died of an "accident" when she was seven. Her father , though devastated,  joined a rebel group, and died fighting. She saw that death. Many say the way he died was dishonorable. Soon after, she joined the group herself . her only person she trusted vanished .she thinks Madison had something to do with it.

 Best freind, baby, beloved parent, complete stranger, pet.

  1.  Yes, she gets tired way to quickly.
  2. Yes, she wants to bring justice.
  3. Yes, she is paranoid.

 

  1. Yes, she is a character in "Captured"
  2. No
  3. No
  4. Kind of

 Idrwant to add right now .

Emerson Lawsone

She is a magical being from the world of Hecate. She has the power of controlling anything natural (fire, plants, water, and well you get the idea). She thinks she is a very bad singer but she is actually wonderful. She soon discovers that she has the unique power of voice, which allows her to sing about something to control it. She is very kind and loving but sometimes if she gets in a mood, she has a small anger problem.  

Emerson has long black hair down to mid-back with white and blue streaks. She has electric blue eyes and a trademark blue and purple butterfly bracelet. Her fashion sense is pretty well defined but not the best. Her character flaws are her anger issues and she is very different so she doesn't have many friends.

She has a difficult past. Her dad and mom died when she was very young so she lives with her grandparents, but then they went missing so now she lives in an orphanage.She would save her parents, then  her BFF then a baby, then pet, then complete stranger.

She struggles with man vs man, she is trying to find her grandparent's captors and parents killers. She is a complete original character. Her motives are family and her goal is to have one. She treats friends kindly.

Tom's personality:

Suffers depression, and makes sure nobody could see that side of him. It seems like he puts all his feelings out there, but he's so blinded by those fake feelings he's forgotten his real feelings. Anger, but sad about certain situations that effected his childhood. Selfish sort of, and can be greedy, but he gives himself these traits so he can hide his other traits. He's not loyal, he's the opposite. He loses his friends often, and doesn't treat all people the same. Tries to make himself think he's higher than other people. Hides the fact he wants his father, and tries to forget him, even though he never met him. He has many flaws, and his personality is made out of flaws.

same...i am loyal but no one ever sees it... every friend i've had and let in to me just ...runs away.... it makes a scar when they do...no one ever stayed....
by (350k points)
Aw... the poor guy. It's almost like he's trying to show a totally different person that he is.
by (415k points)
He's not loyal, really just the exact opposite. But that's only because of his childhood, and how his behavior to people shaped her personality. He can never find friends cuz he's not loyal himself. This is much like me. Never had a friend in my life. Well, from people I thought were my friends, but weren't really.
by (415k points)
Exactly his personality, Gem!
