#Darthhope’s OCs

[darthhope999]

Hi! I’m Sol, I write and ramble about whatever I happen to be hyper-fixated on at the moment. Favorite fandoms are ER, Magic of the Lost, and EPIC: The Musical. Favorite things to do are conlang, worldbuild, and create OCs. Working on (better described as thinking about) two books currently called Gilded Stars (@darthhope-in-space) and Those Who Speak the Language of the Woods (@darthhope-in-the-woods).

I have an Instagram and Youtube where I post crap about my characters.

You probably won't find much writing here, I have like seventy side blogs for that, but you will find random nonsense about OCs, conlangs, and everything else

Stories/masterlists

I have five original works:

Works in project.Vaskar (worldbuilding project)

Defender Tales (DT): fantasy; the three Phyoean nations of Vexär, Nelare, and Vylár; focuses on wolf OCs.

This one is outdated and a lot of the characters have been reused for Gilded Stars. I wrote it when I was quite young and it's mostly a springboard for future writing/a place to test things out.

Gilded Stars: fantasy; book-in-progress; focuses on non-human OCs and further exploration of project.Vaskar. It's like Defender Tales only BETTER

When Heavens Crumble (WHC): fantasy; focuses on the gods of Vaskar (sprits); name's a work in progress

Sands of Vaskar: fantasy; random misc stories from all over Vaskar that don't fit in either of the above catagories.

Other

World of Wolves (WOW): an AU for Defender Tales/Gilded Stars; animals living in the human world

Monsters Within Us (MWU): human world; human OCs

Also quite outdated, this one's been transformed into my new project.Woods, these are the older stories.

Cones of Conville (COC): random, sloppy comics I drew during math class; ice cream cones are the main characters; I think I was hungry

Have fun reading my nonsense!

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Darthhope, you can call me Sol (she/her)! I like writing and screaming into the void. This blog's like a companion to my previous blog, @darthhope-in-space, and it's about my new, even shiner book idea. Here you'll find OCs, slightly less insane worldbuilding, a few conlangs, and whatever I feel like writing!

I have a main blog, @darthhope999 where I post utter nonsense, and an Instagram and Youtube where I post crap about my characters. Follows come from my main blog.

The shiny new idea is currently called: Those Who Speak the Language of the Woods, or project.Woods. But that's most certainly subject to change.

Details:

Writing

Whump, sickfics, Hurt/comfort, Fluff

Everything will be tagged accordingly. All stories are non-kink

Feel free to leave an ask if you want to see something written!

Incorrect quotes

Headcannons

Prompts: OC prompts, writing prompts, fulfilled prompts

Characters are tagged and can be searched, parings use a slash (/) with the alphabetically first name in the front.

Welcome!

I‘m Darthhope, you can can call me Sol (she/her) if you want. I have a main blog, @darthhope999, where I post utter nonsense mixed with slightly less-nonsensical nonsense. This blog is for the book I’m currently struggling to write, so it’s mostly my OCs, conlanging, worldbuilding, and whatever I feel like writing.

I have an Instagram and Youtube where I post crap about my characters.

My book is currently called Gilded Stars, but that’s subject to change.

OC talk: what do you guys think about this?

Okay, so, I was scrolling through Pinterest looking for some writing prompts and I somehow got dragged over to the ship dynamics section (after taking about fifty detours to other places, meme arena was packed). Anyway! I saw a friendship dynamic between a human and some non-human guardian. And I thought I’d be cool to add it to MWU (monsters within us, my original series). But I was trying to keep this world mostly humans. However, humans got boring. So I wanted to ask your opinion.

[darthhope999]

I’m listening to some old songs I wrote about my OCs and geez, the characterization for MY OWN CHARACTERS is so off.

Atomic is so peaceful, he’d NEVER!

Echo is so peaceful, she’d NEVER!

Blackout is so peaceful, he’d NEVER!

I’m sensing a trend

[darthhope999]

The official count is done!

It took me two hours and ignoring my history and careers teachers (sorry about that, I’ve listened enough this year) but I have finally compiled a list of all my OCs!

Wanna guess how many I have?

…

…

260

I’m torn between screaming about how much I love them all and asking someone why I have been cursed…

Yeah, I’ll go with that one

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS AND ISN’T HOLY!! WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY!?!

OC interviews

Hello, everyone who finds this post! So, I was bored and decided this could be fun!

So basically, I’m just going to post a question of the week every… y’know, week. Then, for four to seven days I will write up a different one of my OCs answering the question.

Yeah, that’s about it.

I will be using the tag: OC interviews.

If YOU have any questions you want my OCs to answer, please, send me an ask! If you want a certain OC to answer it just mention their name somewhere in the ask. If you just want to ask a question, just send an ask and I will get around to making it the question of the week!

I had an idea!

Basically, I’m to lazy to make a video out of this so I’m just gonna write it on Tumblr.

Just a warning: I may have gotten some of these wrong so take it with a grain of salt (or perhaps multiple grains)

Rowan: Little red head. Can also be a surname. Gender neutral.

Emerson: Brave, powerful. Combination of Emma and Emily.

Stephen: Crown or garland. Derived from the word Stephanos. Made popular by the Biblical figure Saint Stephen who was the first Christian martyr.

William: resolute protector, will, desire, helmet, protection. First introduced by William the Conqueror in 1066.

Mason: Stoneworker. Of British roots. Gender neutral.

Nathan: Gift from god.

Alex: Defender of human kind. Derived from the ancient Greek name Alexandros.

Rosie: A flower. That’s about it.

Owen: Noble-born, young warrior. From the Welsh name Owain, a form of Eugene.

James: Supplanter (something that replaces something else.)

Benjamin: Son of the right hand, son of the south, son of my days. “In the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin is Jacob's twelfth and final son and founder of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin” - The Bump

BUNNIES!!!

Guys. Three bunnies just moved into our backyard. They’ve got a nest and everything, even kits

Anyway, there’s three of them, and I don’t know the specifics of bunny mating but I’m pretty sure one must be the mate of the female while the other is… a brother? Hm. WAIT! Excuse me whilst I research bunny polyamory.

We’ve named them Otto, Atlas, and Meep, by the way. Expect to see them pop up in some of my writings. Oh, you forgot I was even a writing blog? Yeah, I did to.

I’ve got a few pictures, but I don’t think they sum up the cuteness nearly well enough.

(I think the far left is Meep and the right and center are either Atlas or Otto. Atlas has a big white tail and Otto is smaller than the other two. But I can’t really tell)

OC talk: Old OCs

Hello all! Just popping on here to talk about some of my (dramatic music) OLD OCS!

I could not make human OCs for the longest time. I struggled once. Gave up. I struggled again. Gave up so much I don’t even remember what I wrote. I struggled again. Decided “screw it! I’m going back to wolves!” Then disappeared back into the world of animals. Humans should be easier to write… in theory. But apparently I can’t even write my own bloody species!

Anyway, I was finally able to write some humans in Monsters Within Us. And now I can’t stop. So great! I went from being unable to even make up a name to being unable to stop making up names.

So I decided to look back on my failed attempts. And oh boy, were they failed attempts.

First we have a not even close to flushed out world with a whole lot of not even close to flushed out characters. I was going for a hero vs villain plot line but it kinda all dissolved.

Here, I’ll share with you a portion of my writing as I was brainstorming the villains personality:

Now the antagonist. (Shut up about the fact that I still need a personality for the protagonist.) uhh, mean?

Yep. The antagonist is mean. News flash!

Anyway, the only characters I had who actually had names were two people named Ian and Roger. Ian was a genius who worked as an emergency specialist and Roger was an idiot who worked at a fast food joint. Great concept for a sitcom but not the best for what I was aiming for.

And then comes the personalities. And the names. Oh, the names. Ian’s name was apparently “Ian… something” and Roger’s name was “Roger Rogers”… great right?

And that is as far as I got before giving up.

Then I returned to the wolf world for a few months before diving headfirst in the world of Tumblr. And the moment I found the prompts section of Tumblr I realized that most of the prompts were for people so my wolves wouldn’t work. Instead of being creative I tried once again to make humans.

It did not work.

It did not work so much that I gave up and never even wrote anything down so I have no idea what my ideas were.

Cut to a few more months and I realized that maybe if i based my characters off of prompts I may finally succeed.

Let’s just say I did not.

I decided to set it in a high school. The characters I created were Will, Noah, Ethan, Layla, and Alex. And, I mean, they weren’t horrible. But the plot idea was. Ethan wanted to kill our protagonists because he wanted to figure out who his parents were. THEY HAD NO REASON TO KNOW WHO IS PARENTS WERE! But it just gets worse from there. I wanted them to have superpowers so I decided that they MUST be the children of my existing OCs, the Elementals. Basically, a group of godly wolves. So now we have four super-powered kids prancing around a high school with an evil villain prancing after them. AND NO ONE KNEW!

In short, I may have been able to fix it if I tried hard enough, but I just got bored. The characters were flat with no realistic goal and the plot was a disaster.

Then I gave up for the third time.

But, when it comes to writing, I am crazy determined to get done what I want done.

So I tried again. For the fourth time.

And I guess my brain finally decided to let me have my human OCs, because before I knew it I had a freaking world in front of me.

So, in short, short, genius Ian Something, idiot Roger Rogers, Will, Noah, Ethan, Layla, and Alex were scrapped, recycled for names, and discarded into the deep, dark abyss of “the OC trash bin”.

I FINISHED!

I finally completed all my OC intro posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSS! I spent a week on all these!

Why did I spend a week? I have a horrible work ethic and kept getting distracted by my phone. Yay.

If you have any questions or requests feel free to send an ask!

I messed up again

I recently made an OC to be the “bad guy” of my stories. I named him James. Simple name right? I had also decided that I wanted him to be a sociopath/psychopath, (don’t know yet) kind of a mash up of The Joker (Batman) and Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes (mostly the BBC one)). Then I read some Sherlock fanfiction and I realized… MORIARTY’S NAME IS JAMES TO!

[darthhope999]

It is four in the mourning and I just had the idea to draw my OCs as donuts and now I can’t get to sleep until I do it!

[darthhope999]

I think I need less characters.

I just had to Google what my own character’s nickname stood for!
