🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Vic was made specifically for a Wildemount game, and specifically to be an echo knight (just because I wanted to play one of the fancy new subclasses). Everything kind of stemmed from his class originally -- the fact that he was from the Dynasty and that he'd been a soldier with a partner, etc. His inciting backstory came from the very important question of "why would an echo knight be wandering around in Shadycreek?"

Jack wasn't even supposed to be the pseudo-PC he is now, he was just one of nine betrayer god champion NPCs and then I got attached. I did help make many of them, though, and iirc the first thing we decided about Jack was that he was Just A Guy. Just a human man who happened to be the champion of Gruumsh. And also that he was blind because y'know. Gruumsh has one eye.

Hali is also for a specific Wildemount game (the same one Jack is involved with) so they kinda initially got built around which god they work for. Ended up a good deal more complex than that, but the idea of a god kinda running out of options and saying "yeah sure you'll do" made for a very...interesting character.

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

I think people assume Vic to just be the muscle, and tbh they used to be pretty right about that. He can do a lot more than just hit things with swords these days, but he still sees himself primarily as the protection for the ones doing the more complex work.

Jack is very good at making people see him as nothing but a very polite, blind, young man. Pretty capable of getting around by himself, but usually grateful for a helping hand anyway. And dear god most assumptions about him are incredibly wrong. I mean, he can certainly be polite and well-mannered and also he can commit one-man atrocities five minutes later.
