could you please talk about oz? he seems interesting and I'd like to know more about him and you two :)
*cracks knuckles* ohhhhh anon absolutely I can
Okay I’m gonna preface this with some info about both Oz (and my self insert lol), so for anyone unaware, Oz is one of the Playable Characters in Monster Prom, Monster Camp, and the upcoming Monster Roadtrip
Tumblr media
(^This Dork^, he’s also my go-to character to play as, he/they solidarity lol)
He’s an eldritch embodiment of Fear and his little blobs that hang out on him are Phobias, they’re technically a part of him and they are just silly little guys. Oz is pretty nervous and careful all around, although they’ve been getting more confident as the games progress, causing more mayhem and venturing out of social bounds more in Monster Camp as opposed to him being VERY anxious and worried throughout Monster Prom, and from the look of some of the teasers, we’re getting OZ LORE in the next game so I’m *rubs hands together excitedly*
As for my Self insert, I’ve talked about them a little bit on here before but I’m a Will’o’Wisp/Dragon combo, in a similar way to Oz’s Phobias I have little wisps that come off of me that’re also a part of me.
Tumblr media
(^My most recent doodle of them lol^)
Me and Oz are Platonic and both 🤝 about our crushes, general shenanigans, and being rather otherworldly in nature, we both also befriend Zoe and Calculester in MP: Second Term (DLC) as she’s another very powerful eldritch being who just wants to hang out and have a silly goofy time and he’s a funky robot trying to learn how to people and often is confused by social interactions and is willing to learn.
I’m more forward and outwardly confident then Oz like 70% of the time, and often nudge them towards participating in whatever the hourly nonsense is with the rest of the cast, the other 30% is usually from draining my social battery and Oz takes over the majority of leading for me whenever this happens so I can take a few minutes to recollect so I don’t get burnt out. We both have excellent mischievousness streaks and decent poker faces (he doesn’t usually have a visible mouth and I’m good at masking so it works lolol). We also have, secrets, relating to our species and histories and between the two of us, some of the best emotional management skills out of everyone (besides when we’re flustered lol).
We also positively SHOVE each other at Milo, Damien, and (more in Oz’s case for her), Dahlia, in every attempt to both fluster the other and help them get some. This is infinitely amusing for everyone else with more than one shared braincell which is basically just the other PCs (Amira, Brian, and Vicky) and they do NOT help and often will assist in causing romance-centered shenanigans even at the risk of their own dates much to Oz and I’s exasperation
I also have running friendships with Juan The Magical Small Latino Cat and Valerie, Oz gets along with both of them enough that Val gives him discounts at her shop unless it’s a Plot Device and Juan’ll let him pick a normal drink once a day for once instead of a magical one. They’ve all seen a lick of my usually very well controlled emotions start to go haywire in a few but memorable situations, they both have a considerable amount of respect for Oz as they’re the only one who can seem to get me to reel it back and vice versa, it’s hard to contain the uncontainable lol.
I’m the one who taught Oz back in MP how to help themselves come down from both panic and anxiety attacks, after a situation that Damien accidentally caused. I nearly dragged Damien back down to hell for it myself and ��definitely gave them both whiplash at not only my immediate abandonment of my own ongoing nonsense to help Oz but my ability to scrap any nervousness towards Damien to break his stubbornness in half and make him either get out of my way or help me get Oz out of there before it got worse. We look out for each other and Oz has a lot of confidence in me not taking too much bullshit from anyone else, even my love interests.
We’re both also giant fucking dorks, ain’t no party like two infodumping immortal-aligned nerds going off about who knows what at who knows when hours of the day
Oops this got more ramble-y than I meant it to but, hey! I enjoy getting to ramble lol, hope this was sufficient Anon! Thank you for giving me an excuse to go off a bit ^w^
TL;DR: We’re giant mostly corporeal nerds who don’t die easy and think we suck at succeeding in romance while also being pals the likes this school/camp has never seen
