#oc exercises

(I’ve designed this list so that it requires no art or proper writing at all, it can mostly be done by doing picrews, describing and answering questions. )

1. Your oc as a playable video game character, (special abilities and stats). Bonus: write dialogue or one-liners.

2. If they played Dungeons and Dragons, what would their character be like?

3. Evil version of them

4. contents of their bag/ items they always carry around.

5. Average shopping list

6. various outfits for scenes or occasions

7. character’s wedding dress (yes, put that man in a dress.), or any other fancy outfit they would have

8. Graphic design: advertisement for their (perhaps nonexistent and/or illegitimate) business, wedding invite card, cult pamphlet,etc

9. Your oc is on the news for something they did. What did they do‼️

10. Mess around with the incorrect quotes/ headcanon generator

11. Take “what x are you” quizzes as them

12. what crimes are they most likely to get caught for? And what crimes are they most likely to get away with?

13. Describe or show how they would take notes for their studies, research, job, etc. this is better than a diary page, because it doesn’t demand you to get into character so much. Also less awkward.

14. A little known skill they have

15. Your oc watches Transformers. Which version of Megatron would be their favorite? Go on look all of them up right now and decide which one they would vibe with the most.

16. Need to prepare a really quick breakfast/lunch/dinner. What do they go with?

Feel free to send me asks with these and optionally the name of one of my ocs, and I will answer them.

OR you can give me a canon character and I’ll answer in a way I think would be accurate to them.

Yes I have to ask about him, he's just a fun character!!

GOOFYYY 😭 🥺❤️

Okay starting off with #9: Being sick. How do they handle it? Does anyone help them?

It's rare for Requiem to get sick; but when he does— oh it SUCKS for him. Fortunately; he knows the basics of quarantine so Requiem would stay home in his quarters.

But the main problem for him is that he would stick to it too well, aka he's gonna throw a weak hissy fit if say Wheelie or Sari tried to visit because 'why are you here??? Please leave???? 🤨 You're going to get sick!'

Family— of course isn't spared of this, the only one Requiem ain't risking pissing off is Granny Nickel because now he's doing too much; what makes him think that Nickel is gonna get sick???

For #12. What would be a GREAT gift for them?

Hmm when it comes to giving Requiem gifts, he'd be chill with most things— sure Requiem might not be super enthusiastic if say you'd get him a cheap flute or a guitar that he would have to learn how to play. But Requiem wouldn't hate it because in his mind, it can be worse and it's the thought that counts.

Requiem has heard all kinds of music and has experimented with what kind of music he hates or loves.

He's heard it all

That would be until someone gifts him this.

The experience of standing on the Zadar Sea Organ.

An experimental musical instrument, which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps. Requiem wouldn't believe the idea of nature playing an instrument. Nature is unpredictable and chaotic that there would be no coordination.

Yet... Here; he would stand, sitting on the marble steps as his fingers would graze the ocean waves splashing against the instrument. His optics would never leave his surroundings, his expression could match an archeologist who discovered an ancient tomb.

Listening to the sounds the ocean would play; where it can shift from ethereal to ancient to eery. Requiem would be standing there all day in awe.

I firmly believe that you would have to grab his hand and shake him just to gently remind him that it's getting dark out. It's time to go home.

Requiem even then would wish to continue to listen. How uncoordinated the ocean was yet still was able to create a rare beauty.

PART TWO!!!!!

1. “dad lore” they’ll off handedly mention once at breakfast and never elaborate on

2. Speech patterns (accents, overused words or phrases, etc)

3. Halloween: low, mid, high effort costumes

4. Your badassest voice lines for the character

5. If they were a cereal, what would they taste like? Describe the packaging while you’re at it.

6. This one’s a little more inconvenient. Take the nearest book, open a random page and look until a line catches your eye that reminds you of them in the slightest. Elaborate. Or not, I’m not a cop.

7. BOOM, they’re in a video game now. And there’s a quest (or several) related to them. What are they called?

8. Something you’re convinced they could speedrun (Doesn’t have to be a game, could just be laundry!)

9. Being sick. How do they handle it? Does anyone help them?

10. Catchphrase/voice line from another piece of media that reminds you of them!

11. Your oc is a prime now. It doesn’t matter if they’re not from Transformers, look it up. They’re a prime, give them a name and tell me about them. Tag me (lockmart unofficial) if you answer this one, I wanna know too. (In fact, tag me in any of your answers if you’d like. I’m interested!!)

12. What would be a GREAT gift for them?

13. Song that would play during their first introduction to the audience.

14. Please make memes that only you know the lore context for.

15. Out of context text messages from them

16. Bumper stickers.

Again, send me asks regarding oc’s OR characters from other media.

She sat down not as far from him and definitely not with ears as long trailing behind him like the stray bits of string that dangled from his robes. He stared at her so intensely he trembled in his seat. This was not the man they told him about, he seemed so frightened and out of place. "What did you do in the steppes?" she asked him, her voice a gentle cold fuzzy sweet peach. He merely sat there across from her in the same position, one leg spread out under the table while the other was tucked against his body and he hugged it close as if it were in pain. His nose twitched and his mouth opened but for a few minutes the only sound that came out of him was a strange click, click coming from his throat. "I only sit here and do the sun stuff," she continued to say. "I don't know what you saw up there. But that's not why you sit here before me, is it." "I'm tired," he only managed to say, slumping over.
