honestly Thank You i can’t talk enough about my ocs (im gonna default and do orion ones, amaya if specifc)

What inspired the makings of your OC/s?

a lot of video game and anime characters, as sad as that sounds. anime in particular introduced me to a lot of tropes that weren’t complete shit (tho lets be honest most anime ones are)

fire emblem in particular has been huge in aesthetic, as well as legend of zelda. Dungeons and Dragons in particular really introduced me to a lot of character concepts that i adore too.

✁: Did it take you a long time to get your OC just right?

considering my ocs are still fairly wip, sure. personality is something i’m still working with, especially with amaya bc they need to be able to be distinct yet relatable as the protagonist. im still debating if i want the person to feel like they are amaya or if they’re playing amaya

⚯: Do see yourself in your OC in someway?

holy shit yes. one of the main things ive learned about character creation is that the vast majority of your characters have you in them, or are a product of your own fantasy, so definitely

esp amaya

☃: While making your OC did you come by some problems with making them or rp problems?

a big one for amaya is the design, because i want them to be gender neutral but i can’t tell if they look distinctly male and i just consider that to be neutral.

personality has been a little bit of a challenge mostly due to how i want amaya to be but ???

❆: What made you make an OC?

i needed characters to populate orion, and so things naturally came over time. i think i have 38 named? and more faceless bg characters as well. 

really things just come to mind on occasion, i dont think ive ever sat down and decided a character existed.

☺: Are you proud of your OC?

H E L L   Y E A H

⚧: What is your OC sexual orientation?

amaya is definitely pansexual, and at a baseline for gameplay everyone is pan but i do have specific sexualities in mind for some characters (thinking about changing the all people are pan thing so i dont erase sexualities but i like the idea that you can romance who you want)

specifically for orion, jupiter is bi, as is fuchsite, onyx and luna. draco and andromeda are pan. seren, cinnabar, and rowan are gay. that’s all still in the works but that’s what ive figured so far

i dont have many stories that are worth much but heres one from last year

so like ove the summer i work at this opera theatre near my house, and im a parking attendent meaning people pay me to park in a lot and i sit around and make sure people dont just like, drive in

and so im working one morning and the lot is full and its so busy it took me a while to put up the signs saying that (and people were yelling at me so i was already in a shitty mood)

and so people, despite the large sign saying sold out, keep driving in and throwing hissy fits at me. and then this one dude pulls in, whips out like a $5 bill or something, and is like “what about now”

and so i stood there for a second as this old ass rich white dude in his shitty ass car, trying to bribe me to let him park in this lot. there are no empty spaces

what the fuck did he think i was gonna do??? i still dont understand why he thought that would work

and i was just like “sir there arent parking spaces”

honestly tho thats actually great if anyone would put me on the level of that sort of hero

if i could have anyones voice tho id definitely be cr1tikal. literally everyday life would be spectacular
