do you have any voiceclaims for your ocs?

TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET TO THIS BC FINDING CERTAIN VOICECLAIMS IS HARDDDDD like I can hear them in my mind but I cant just Project that. Anyways, this got real long so its under the cut

✨ Akemi Masuwaka

I always imagined her with a higher and cuter voice and what I imagine is Yoko Oginome's voice.

🌌 Andros Stellar*

His voiceclaim is Courtney Love but specifically in the Hole song Teenage Whore. I chose Love's voice because of the raspiness and just Raw emotion in it. I do prefer to use examples from her songs though bc of the vocal fry + it's more accurate to my vision

☢ Ayumu Van Halen

He's my cool guy and of courseeee i had to give him Spider One's voice from Powerman 5000. They've got a pretty deep voice and Spider One's is perfecttt for it

🧤 Chimera Reznor

While on the higher pitch spectrum, their actual voice [not augmented by its stand] is still very broken and often cracks. Her voiceclaim is Jessicka of Jack Off Jill

🔂 Dani Navarro

im. in love with her but listen he is THE most californian person ever man it's almost too much. he's a surfer and a bassist and also born and raised in Los Angeles. literally the closest I can get to is this vid and even then, she always says “dude”, “bro”, or “man” at the end of a sentence with a vocal fry. love and joy

🗡 Darling Nikki

Literally, the hardest one to pin down because their entire character is based on the fact that she is a mirror to people to get them to trust her easier. So the voice is more of a Ranged thing than a set one. I once had them appear in my dream though and I'm so mad i can't exactly send that as an example. But her voice ranges from Damiano David of Måneskin to Meryl Streep's performance as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. They usually speak with a very breathy tone, almost whispering in your ear, but with some rasp. For screams though she sounds like the song Nakedness Of Need by Pharmakon. Aaaaand if you're about to get eaten [or are lucky enough to be part of her polycule] they sound like Machine Screw by Type O Negative [which does not have a definitive credit]

🌹 Beatrice Franco

While a very minor character, she's Nikki's mother and I cannot leave her out of this. She sounds like Myss Keta <3

👻 Jing Kalachuchi

They have a small but permanent echo to their voice. It's a voice that is very light and airy, as if a ghost was trying to talk to you. For this, as much as I dislike this person, I think she'd sound like Grimes in the song Oblivion. She doesn't speak much though and often forgets she can't communicate with living people the same way they do with spirits.

🕶 Mariqueen Westwood

My loveeee <3 Her voice often cracks and sounds like its about to give out but she loves to be loud soooo it doesn't matter much to her. For this the best example would be Patti Smith's voice in the live version of My Generation

⌨ NikitA Nakamoto

I can't exactly say what they sound like because 99% of the time they are using a voice augmentor. The closest I can really get to is Viktor from League Of Legends, but you can just imagine a 90s techno DJ and it'd fit ngl

💄 Sayoko Kawakubo

She sounds like Sade 100%. She has a very very smooth voice that is so perfect for her more quiet personality in contrast to her past job as a supermodel

🦠 Sheri Moon Teese

I already had her voice picked out from the beginning and it's Jennifer Tilly's performance as Violet in Bound (1996). It has a very sultry voice that is a joy to listen to [especially to her wife <3]

⛓ Steele [Jäger Wolfgang Heinekein]

This is such an Obvious choice but 💔Peter Steele's voice with a rasp and a heavy ” German “ accent [she's from 1700s Prussia, kinda hard to put that in modern accents]. I can't really get an accurate voice esp since thon's voice is more androgynous in a complicated way to explain but bear with me man

Thierry Itō [can't get the emoji to work on my PC so ill edit this on my phone later]

Probably one of my favorite voiceclaims: Patricia Morrison of The Gun Club, Sisters Of Mercy, and The Damned. They have this smooth and comforting voice and it's really helpful considering they are a therapist. You could listen to anything they say and you just want to hear it until you fall asleep because of how soothing it is.

🍸 Valentino Schiaparelli

Also a favorite of mine, his voice sounds like Prince's. From everything about the pitch, the mannerisms, the dramatics, it just fits him perfectly and most importantly: oh my god he needs to have some slay going for him

👑 Phthonus “The Prince” Morrissey

They've got one of the most recognizable voices imo, and it's that of Jinx from League Of Legends/Arcane. I think it really matches their appearance and the mask they put around others

📐 Guccio Piranesi

He has the voice and wavering of Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil, specifically in the song Beds Are Burning. But he's got a really fun way of talking that I can't just leave out when speaking. He constantly repeats his sentences in different ways to get one point across, so much to the point where he ends up overexplaining and overcomplicating the message so it's hard to understand what he's saying.

While this isn't everyone, the rest I either do not have enough confidence to set down a specific voice, or I haven't developed their character enough yet.

Putting all of this under a cut btw since it ended up being 2k words long and. lol

Andros Stellar*

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion

It’s… Quite bad. It’s a mix of both but you have No idea if they're mad at you or not because they always keep the same stern look in their eye. You can go a while without knowing about their anger. If he decides he’s fed up with you or you tick them off with something seemingly small [such as complaining about Pixies when doing your report], he’ll suddenly blow up at you. He’ll suddenly be very aggressive and will in fact punch you or do something life threatening on impulse. For example, one time Pixies annoyed him a bit too much on a car ride and Andros drove them off the road to get him to shut up for a bit. If you want to instantly anger them it's quite simple actually. You just have to touch them. It can be something as simple as a hand on his shoulder to get his attention but that’s the most sure way to get decked on instinct. The only people allowed to touch Andros are Pixies, Fausta, Rabanne, Idai, Masami, Akemi, Dani, and Meldal. Pixies and Fausta are free to do it whenever, though, everyone else has to ask beforehand. [Princess and Prince are also allowed to hang out but. They’re cats so] The one who takes the absolute brunt of Andros’ anger issues is actually their stand, Supermassive Black Hole. When Andros looks at it, he sees the weakest parts of himself.

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

Andros is essentially my love letter to astronomy. I think it’s quite obvious, considering their stand, day job, and just overall design. Black holes are something I want to specify in, and I wanted to share that. One thing was certain and I wanted him to have a black taffeta miniskirt and a sleeveless top that had a straight neckline. For everything else, like backstory, it was actually kind of a long journey. You can ask Atlas for confirmation but at first I had absolutely no idea on What to do because they’re really my first OC. I’m very happy with how I’ve developed them now though, and huuhhohohuh I really need to just Post about them more instead of keeping him in containment in Atlas’ dms

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

Ok I’m gonna use the version of the trolley problem where its 1 person they care about and 5 ppl they don't know of for all of the characters so

Andros would sacrifice the 5 people for someone they cared about. For any friend of theirs really but ESPECIALLY if it’s Pixies or Fausta. For Fausta because well, that’s the love of his life. For Pixies, they have a pact where if one dies the other one is also going so they can never be alone again. Go figure.

Dani Navarro

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

He has a very good temper actually, It’s something she has constantly been working on for years. Of course he gets mad from time to time, everyone does, but usually just goes somewhere where she can be alone for a bit and just blast some music. She also channels this anger into playing his bass. After needing an hour or two to calm down by himself, he goes back to normal like nothing happened. Not too many things really piss her off though.

Dani wasn’t this calm though. He spent a lot of his childhood with a lot of anger and would constantly lash out at people. She was… very aggressive and just had this expression of hatred at all times. At the time that's how he expressed all of his emotions, including when she just wanted to help. I’ll elaborate later but, the reason why she makes such an effort to be kind no matter what, is because one time he blew up at a close friend and the very next day when he went to apologize, he found that friend dead on the floor.

The only ever ‘relapse’ of this was when he got hazed by Pixies in entry to the org. When she realized that she was just repeating the same mistake as that time with his friend, he instantly stopped using his stand and began profusely apologizing to Pixies. Dani could’ve killed Pixies right then and there if she had gone too far. These two are now friends though.

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

I wanted to make someone who was genderfuck lol. And then i was like hmmmm this character should be a metalhead and BOOM. Though what came first was actually his stand, Can’t Stop, and I had the idea for the ability for a while and midway through explaining I was like ohhh my god it could be called Can’t Stop. so Dani was assigned a peppers fan before anything lol. When I realized huh this stand could be very good for looping repetitive tasks, and well when ur on bass u do the same riff for the entire song, I mixed those two together and that was one for the foundations for Dani before he even had a name. Here’s a thing from my very first convo actually

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

In the classic trolley problem where it’s random people, Dani would choose to save the 5 people. He doesn’t enjoy needlessly killing more people than necessary.

In the version I mentioned with Andros… Dani would not know what the fuck to do. But if she has to act fast then… He chooses his loved one over the 5 people. She’s in the org after all, you have to make sacrifices. This doesn’t mean Dani would not care though, each person she sacrificed had a family and friends and people that cared about them. He knows that better than anyone.

Darling Nikki

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

Darling Nikki doesn’t get too mad often actually. Of course some people do in fact annoy her, but she knows they're gonna become her next meal so there’s not much to worry about. But if you Do manage to make them fully angry, you’re not even given a second before you’re dead. Those claws are sharp, after all. This isn’t too often though, and they prefer to take their sweet sweet revenge on those that begin to piss her off [remember the shotgun person who called her out on her bullshit?]

But if you want to make her angry as fast as possible? Mention something like “would your mother be proud?” or call them her birth name [which is always by accident by the way, they would never share this information with anyone]. Anything to do with Nikki’s mother is a death sentence.

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

See the idea for her actually came to me in a vision while I was on a long ass long distance bus [6-7 hour ride btw.] and it was like i got fucking possessed and had to write down any and every idea that came to mind about her. Here are my notes from it actually, one thing i Needed though was for them to have a connection to blood in one way or another

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

For classical trolley problem, she would make it only kill one person. Not for any actual kind reason or for wanting to save people, but because she’d rather one 5 full meals that aren’t destroyed to bits instead of 1. Everyone’s dying lol.

For the ver I usually think of, Darling Nikki doesn’t actually really care about anyone, or at least before canon. Matejka is immortal so he wouldn’t die from this, but she’d save him the trouble of being in pain for days [aka not being able to see him for a bit] by killing those 5 people. If in this problem the person strapped in there was any of her lovers/special victims, they’d also kill the 5 people. For specifically Jane, while yeah she could just dematerialize to get away, Nikki would Not fucking take their chances in this and absolutely kill the 5 people because Jane really is… one of the only people Nikki has Ever loved. Not that fake love where they say “I love you” to future meals, but genuine love.

While the result of the following scenario would be the same as the ones I just talked about… I need to point out the one with their mother. Nikki was born before there were even trains invented, so this wouldn’t really be a problem but if for Whatever reason her mother is around right now, Nikki would do Anything to keep her mother alive. She would do anything her mother asked.

Akemi Masuwaka

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

Her temper is very good actually! She has a way of making stuff not affect her as much, insults just pass through her in a way. Some of the most frustrated you’ll see her is actually in cheer and when her make up isn’t looking good or if her hair is just not cooperating. But these moments of ‘anger’ do pass super quickly. The reason for it is. Quite horrors but that’s not the focus ^_^

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

One day I just went up to Atlas and was like “wait holy shit how have we not made a gyaru charcater” and he was like “she should have a bestie who’s emo” and well the rest is history. The emo friend is Masami btw ^_^ but something I wanted to do about Akemi’s character is a story about realizing she was a lesbian. And it’s something important for me yaknow, specially with how for so long Akemi was in denial about it.

🚆 TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

In classical problem: She chooses to sacrifice one person to save others.

In my ver: She struggles for a second because like What The Fuck. Akemi would give it all for Masami though, including in this. She’d never forgive herself for killing her best friend

Chamber Of Reflection

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

Alright so I’ll only be doing this question bc. This is a House/stand. But I wanted this place to be one where time is thin in a way. I read this one tumblr post of this person who lived in a victorian house and saw this little boy occasionally and how that little kid would be called by [presumably] his mother to stop talking about ghosts or something. I thought that story was soso interesting, so it got me thinking of making a stand based off of that. Where YOU are the ghost in someone else’s life.
