#MYFREAKS thank u beloved..
RED: 2. What aspects of a person—appearance, personality or otherwise—are attractive to your OC?
it depends on what he’s looking for. i said it before but he’s just a whore so. generally he does prefer the more feminine types and please please some personal hygiene. i’m sorry thats such a low bar but he can be very desperate sometimes. he does like some whimsy, i don’t think he’d usually go for like, loud popular mainstream folks. he is #different after all.
she is so very picky. the smallest thing can turn her off, even if it’s just the way someone holds their phone or whatever. she’s very sensitive and notices everything why is nobody doing everything exactly the way she wants. fuck you. anyway. she likes outcasts or freaks. also people that are easily manipulated. it’s hard to say exactly bc i don’t think she’s ever had a normal relationship in her life, vampire or otherwise.
ORANGE: 3. What first impression do strangers get from your OC?
pre embrace and pre ghouling, that he’s in a bad mood and/or unapproachable. which. good he likes it that way. also tall. mildly interesting but once again unapproachable so.
ghoul mido is very much the same if not for a much shorter temper and/or overall disinterest to anything that doesn’t involve dawn’s wishes. (as first impression, that is. i make ghoul mido sound normal. dont worry hes not.)
vamp mido kinda comes off similarly bad tempered and uninterested mixed together with Big Offputting Vibes the lower his humanity gets. eventually he ends up somewhere in the middle but he’s never gonna master blending in i think. cursed with being weird forever.
she can be sooo charming when she wants to be. it takes a lot of energy and willpower so there better be a reward at the end (blood or money or both.) she can really pass as just the quirky goth girl yk. the one from 90s movies. like not somebody you wanna spend a long time with but yeah let’s have some drinks. she can be fun. don’t catch her on her bad days though.
YELLOW: 3. Does your OC lie easily? What scenario(s) would justify lying in your OC’s opinion?
he’s more the type to actively omit something than lie. which can be considered lying in a way. he’s often not quick enough to come up with something convincing especially when emotions are high. he will lie whenever though, like 90% he will just lie bc it’s none of your business. he’s always been incredibly loyal, so he would go to great lengths if it involves those he’s close to. he will complain but ok let’s go hide the body.
she’s convincing. after almost a century it’s like a second nature, nobody’s allowed to know her. it’s mostly to protect herself.
CYAN: 7. How observant is your OC and how much does it affect them? Are they clueless or nearly paranoid?
he’s very wary of his surroundings and other people. foster care will do that sometimes. he’s generally very detail-oriented and perceptive and noticing too much makes him soso cranky. so you can imagine post embrace he’s very normal about it and has no trouble controlling himself. fledgling mido did not kill a guy for making too much noise. he gets a little better at it.
i think at a certain age it just became impossible for her to not assume everyone is out to get her, so she kinda teaches herself to read others in the case of What If. and when What If then how does she fight them or where is the safehouse etc etc. so yeah everything and everyone is suspicious until proven differently. it doesn’t necessarily scare her but she does have to know.
BLUE: 2. Is your OC comfortable letting others see them cry?
similar answer for them both: no. never as a human and never now. crying is weakness crying is vulnerable and nobody is allowed inside. for vampires it feels even more unnatural because either the tears are blood or just nothing comes out so it’s, a dead (lol) giveaway to what you are or insanely unsatisfactory. like damn i cant even properly cry. fuck.
honorable mention that ghoul mido screams and cries a lot but his brain is mush.
BROWN: 2. What animal do your associate with your OC?
across all verses he’s so tied to cicadas in my head. they symbolize rebirth/transformation or immortality, resilience, they are cryptic animals (get it.) and associated with the start of summer. the latter is not super applicable in this verse but the rest speaks for itself. it’s just been his creature for years and years.
snakes. 😔 she has a pet snake. but in history they’ve represented temptation, chaos, danger, duality, rebirth again!!! they’re also like. fairly unpredictable and frequently misunderstood.
BLACK: 3. What is one of your OC’s greatest fears and how much does it affect them?
lol. failure. proof that life really is meaningless and there’s nothing to change it. his existence as a vampire really uh. did that exact thing. there’s nothing and everybody here is out for themselves and killing each other and he has no choice to keep going and do the same thing. like, maybe there is, but he’s definitely not ready to consider that a possibility, it’s something he can’t grasp. he learns in other verses. sadly idk if he does here.
loneliness. she will never ever admit how scared she is of others hurting and leaving her like they have done before. she wants to be seen and loved but doesn’t know how without being vulnerable so. transactions are the next best thing. some wasted freak can tell her she’s beautiful and that they love her, and she can eat them later. it briefly makes her feel better. cycle continues.
