OC asks - which OC is up to you!
Is your OC vengeful?
What first impression do strangers get from your OC?
Yippie!!! VHEN!!! All the hearts and hugs for you! Thank you so much for sending this. It gives me a moment to indulge in what I love!
And you're leaving the OCs up to me? <cue evil laughing track.>
Is your OC Vengeful?
Asena - Absolutely not.
Senka – Surprisingly, no. She has spent too much of her life serving as a tool for other people's vengeance to put much stock in the concept herself. Time and again, she has watched clients expect some grand sense of closure when word arrives that their contract has been fulfilled. More often than not, those who kill for revenge alone are left feeling just as empty as before.
Frankly, she has better shit to do.
Besides, actions have consequences. She doesn't have to lift a finger. Life has a funny way of settling accounts on its own... and if it doesn't, well, she knows people.
Brenna – If something is done to her? No. She's endured worse and learned long ago that carrying a grudge is rarely worth the effort. If something is done to Hancock, Charon, or her brother, however? That's a different story entirely. There would be no hesitation, no second-guessing, and no mercy. Brenna can forgive a great deal when it comes to herself. The people she loves are another matter.
Riven – Oh, absolutely. Woe to anyone who wrongs her. Or attempts to wrong her. Or even looks at her the wrong way. Riven collects slights the way a dragon collects treasure, and she has a long memory. Whether she seeks revenge directly or simply waits for the perfect opportunity, she is not the sort of person who lets things go. Ever.
What first impressions do strangers get from your OC?
I genuinely have no idea. I hope they all come across as strong individuals.
If I had to guess based on a surface-level interaction?
Senka – Chaos gremlin.
Not immediately, mind you. At first glance she appears composed, confident, and entirely too self-assured for someone her size. Then she opens her mouth. Five minutes later she's poking at someone's patience for her own amusement, encouraging bad decisions, or saying something that leaves people wondering whether they should laugh or be concerned.
The unfortunate part is that the answer is usually both.
Brenna – Stoic killer. Moral mercenary.
She doesn't waste words, doesn't seek attention, and carries herself like someone who knows exactly what she's capable of. Most people would assume she's dangerous first and approachable second. They'd be right on both counts. What they wouldn't realize immediately is just how much of what she does is guided by an unshakable sense of right and wrong and a very deep sense of empathy.
Asena – Sweet leader.
Kind eyes, patient demeanor, and the sort of presence that puts people at ease. She listens more than she speaks and has a habit of making people feel heard. Most would walk away thinking she's gentle. They might not realize until later that beneath all that warmth is a spine of steel.
Riven – Unhinged bitch.
The sort of woman who can make someone nervous with a single look. Beautiful, sharp, and radiating the distinct impression that she may either flirt with you or ruin your life, depending entirely on her mood. Most people would immediately recognize that she is a problem.
The smart ones would also recognize that she enjoys being one.
Are these impressions accurate?
To an extent, but all of them are incomplete.
Senka is the most disparate from how she’s perceived.
People can absolutely misread her as chaotic because she’s playful, provocative, and socially sharp in a way that feels unpredictable. But internally, she isn’t improvising chaos; she’s testing reactions, steering outcomes, and staying several steps ahead. What reads as “gremlin energy” on first glance is really precision disguised as casualness.
And more importantly, Senka is aware of that misread. She’s often the one subtly engineering it because being underestimated, or simply not fully read, works in her favor.
