5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?
Rof. I always find myself comparing him to Kal’Reegar and I know very well the fandom’s love of him in the Mass Effect games. Sarcastic and quirky quarians who diassociate themselves from the Fleet seems to be up a similar ally, especially as it always comes with a very interesting reason as to why. He’s unique, is what I’m trying to say. And I love him.
19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)
Kwon Shepard, the younger Shepard sibling in my AU Exit Wounds. He is the OC which has undergone the most development out of all of them, in canon and beyond. You can read about him on this page. I love him because he represents the first instance I actually sat down and planned out a character to their full extent, to reach their full potential, not simply sit underdeveloped in canon with the limited dialogue options we’re given. He’s currently my most populated pinterest board as well, and if I ever come to writing his story with Tess (his sister) it would be an immensely large fic.
To introduce him: he’s the younger brother of Commander Shepard, an Alliance war hero, who he loves, envies and fears for at the same time. He breaks off from his reluctant study when Tess is injured in the line of duty (Akuze) and turns to petty crime, to crime, to gang crime. Hannah manages to “save” him by getting him to enlist once he’s of age (the earthborn origin, in effect) and after a lot of string pulling, he is posted to the Normandy post Mass Effect 1. A lot of development happens from there, but basically, he lives in the shadow of his sister whom he loves dearly, and goes from hating the mandatory service to appreciating it, seeing her lifestyle out in space isn’t so bad.
23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?
Remember Avery? I actually developed her the first time I followed you Aq, she was pictured to be a model human noble who resented the Wardens but ultimately believed in the greater good and so saved the world. She turned into a lot different of a character - in fact, driven nearly mad by the death of her family and the pressure put on her by the entirety of Ferelden to save the country. She makes bad decisions purely for the attention of it, acts simply “evil”, with nobody liking her particularly bar Morrigan. She puts herself on the throne with Alistair, who is at very low approval with her, but then is plotted to be killed by her party in the final battle - by Alistair not sharing the details of striking the final blow.
A very different character to where I first envisioned her, definitely. But I like how she’s developed, and the initial version of her too.
