15 Questions for 15(ish) friends

(Definitely can't tag 15 because it seems tumblr doesn't let you tag more than a few people in a post these days, so heavy emphasis on the ish)

Tagged by @vexa-legacy (the turnaround for these things is less than a month now! I'm getting better!)

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE: Yes, my dad's caretaker when he was child with 2 working parents (day shift/night shift, so there was an in-between)

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED: Probably something related to my spawn rejecting me (I'm the working parent, yet mama. She doesn't like it when I go to work, gets mad, and takes it out on me by pushing me away while wanting me home and to be in my lap all the time at the same time. Toddlers are not geniuses.).

DO YOU HAVE KIDS: Indeed!

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED: I played softball in high school -- not well. Very Charlie Brown in that department.

DO YOU USE SARCASM: Sometimes. I teach, and I've noticed that students are less able to detect sarcasm, hyperbole, and even jokes. My job relies on clarity, so I'm very Spock with them -- the clever ones notice the snark, though.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE: Whether they make and maintain eye contact.

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR? Brown with heterochromatic yellow rings.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings!

ANY TALENTS: I cook and bake well. It may not be the prettiest thing, but it's the tastiest thing. I also knit.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN: Eastern seaboard, USA

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES: sewing, knitting, baking, fan fic writing, reading academic stuff

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS: 2 cats; one half-Siamese smoke black cat who thinks she's people and would fistfight God; and one technicolor calitabby who has one eye and is afraid of pistachios

HOW TALL ARE YOU: 5'4" -- my fan fic OC Eva is about the same height, but she compensates with lifts.

FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL: It used to be math up until junior year of high school. Then I latched onto the Middle Ages (whose denizens did hold math in high regard -- astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, and music get you closer to God)

DREAM JOB: It used to be a professor at a 4-year university with a nice research stipend, but higher ed has a reckoning about to hit over the next five years .... A job that would let me write and publish my academic book.

OC Tag Game

Tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad, thank you! I'll be keeping it within SWTOR characters since I just focus on them here.

Favorite OC - Jett

Not surprising. As much as I love my other characters (Auletta don't kill me), Jett just gotta be my favorite. Bounty hunter storyline being one of my favorites definitely affects this, but there is much more to this. She is this 'tough on the outside, softie on the inside' type of character that I just adore, I love her personal arcs about trauma, meaningful connections and leadership. And of course strong badass Mando women are just cool and get an instant liking from me :) I can go on for hours on this, but let's move on.

More under the cut.

Newest OC - Beirya and Zin

I had more ideas for new characters after I made Rya and Zin, but they are not yet actual characters that I plan to develop. So these two are my newest at the moment.

Oldest OC - Auletta

Technically, the first character I ever rolled in SWTOR was smuggler, but I didn't keep her in any way, so it's Auletta. Although she looked slightly different and was assassin instead of sorcerer in the game (which doesn't fit her background), the core of her character remained the same.

Meanest OC - Jaria

It's a tough spot between some of my characters, but when others can be polite or maybe it's not their nature to be rude (they just do it for others reasons), Jaria is unapologetically mean to people almost all the time (only shutting up if it saves her skin or gives an advantage).

Softest OC - Shailla and Lorri

(there are actually two more but I wanted to keep it short)

They are just so kind and gentle, striving to do more good in this imperfect galaxy. I mean, there is a reason why Lorri is often considered the heart of her little found family.

Most aloof/standoffish OC - Xaele and Jaria

Xaele in general is pretty distant from the world and even her own actions, which fit well for agent's life. And Jaria is, honestly, pretty mistrusting, and after being separated from her sister, probably the only person she gave a Hutt about, Jaria couldn't form meaningful connections with other people, so she's a loner. Plus she's mostly interested in self-gain and money, and she doesn't care how she gets it.

Dumbest (affectionate) OC - Vintu

Well, there may be others, but no one radiates chaotic dumbass energy like Vintu (yeah, not even smugglers, though they are close). Just look at his dumb face.

Smartest OC - Auletta and Elixess

I would betray Auletta by not including her here. She is a quick learner, a schemer, always hungry for knowledge and information. She's very good at using all available knowledge and information to get the best out of her situation, whatever it might be (back in slavery, in Sith Academy, Dark Council, you name it). The only period when Auletta made kinda dumb decisions was around chapters 1 and 2 of Inquisitor storyline, mostly bc she was drunk on power and freedom, testing how far she can go. But when she failed to kill Thanaton for the second time, Auletta adapted and got the best out of it.

Elixess is similar in many ways, except she doesn't have the same malicious intent as Auletta and maybe not as nerdy. She is a quick thinker, which helps her talk her way out of most trouble and see possibilities for profit. Also, I just thought having a smuggler as one of the smartest characters is funny.

(actually, there are more characters who are on the same level, but I wanted to mention these two)

Horniest OC - Vintu and Jaria

Jaria just likes to flirt around and have one-night stands almost every time she visits a new place (Mako got tired of it real quick). Shame that bounty hunters don't have a lot of flirt options with NPCs other than companions. And Vintu... well, for my own sanity we have an agreement - he doesn't tell much about his private life, and I don't get to know much about it. Let's just say that when he's with Jaesa they are very active, and even after he's done with her, Vintu still hits on a lot of people.

OC you'd bang - none

I'm way too asexual for that.

OC you'd be best friends with - Raen and Alaine

Both of them are great friend material. Raen shares some of my interests (that weren't a bit of self-insert to begin with, no no), so she can tolerate a bit of infodumping about special interests from me. She's generally fun to be around, except for maybe when she's being chased by law enforcement or when she's sleeping. Plus we might have 'introvert adopted by an extrovert' dynamiс in a good way.

Alaine is someone I could trust to discuss a lot of complicated topics without being judged harshly. And she's a good person and a reliable friend in general, so great to have her as a friend. Alaine is more of "calls me out on my shit" friend, and Raen is more of "tags along with my shit" friend, and I definitely need both these types of friends.

liam just said ' astrifer is very little british boy coded to me ' i cant believe one of my characters has been assigned british

[goodnightwindy]

i rlly like this look for astrifer ,,,,, it suits him :3

[goodnightwindy]

theyre under the cut :3

skylar :

miami got it for him as a joke gift and he thinks it's funny

astrifer :

he saw it in the store window and immediately knew he had to buy it. like come on this is the most astrifer plushie i've ever seen

mari :

idk she just thinks its cute. it also suits her v well lmao

miami :

they saw it in a shop display and could not stop laughing about it. skylar bought it for them

megan :

it was the only one on the site she liked

lucie :

radiowave gets this for her as a thankyou gift for yknow. saving their life. she pretends to hate it but secretly she adores it and even buys a little dress for it

radiowave :

this is given to him by mari , as a ' birthday ' [ it's complicated ] gift. the explanation she gives is that since radiowave is a robot , it doesn't need to breathe oxygen which means he doesn't need real plants in his room. radiowave enjoys the joke and keeps this plushie by its computer

[ + bonus ] bamblox :

silly cat :3

wait im gonna assign plushies to my ocs

[goodnightwindy]

this astrifer is gorgeous. one of my favourite picrews ever

[ link ]

[goodnightwindy]

my ocs and what type of angel they are.

[ art isnt mine , it's from various picrews ]

[goodnightwindy]

ok lore time : my original plan for astrifer was for him to be the type of person who feels so incredibly worthless all the time so he gets attached to someone else [ skylar ] and that other person basically becomes his one singular reason to live. but now that ive actually had him for longer and developed his character more i realize that that actually doesnt suit him at all ? why was that the plan for him. thats stupid

[goodnightwindy]

SO !!! heres the other guys

once again. very long under the cut

MARI [ short for maristela ] and her older brother ASTRIFER !!!!! my second favourite sillys...... i luv them both sm

ok so. their involvement in this story is ,,,,,, complicated !!!

basically they're angelettes [ a smaller subspecies of angel that is kinda just ' angel that is legally a child ' and doesn't do much in angel society ] so they spend a lot of time on earth instead of in outer space where they came from

and they just HAPPENED to be at this church skylar found at the EXACT RIGHT TIME [ not true. the angel in skylar's dream was actually mari and astrifer's mother , perihelion , and she knew they were going to be at the church at that time so she sort of beamed that message into sky's brain lmao ]

anyway at first they weren't sure what to think of skylar but they both warmed up to him p quick :3

astrifer warmed up VERY WELL , in fact. SO WELL that he currently has the biggest fucking crush on sky and has no IDE how to go about telling him

and it's great because !!! skylar likes him too !!! but neither of them know it's requited :grief:

ANYWAY mari is basically sky's bestie now but she's so hyper all the timeee so sky usually goes to astrifer when mari gets to be Too Much

oh ya it's also worth mentioning that sky and mari are both autistic but on COMPLETE OPPOSITE ENDS of the spectrum

also !!! angels in this universe have a very different idea of gender than humans. it's rlly complicated but to bring it right down to its basics , all angels are born genderfluid and they basically get to choose their gender at will :3

astrifer is genderfluid and mari thinks of her gender as " too complicated to explain "

unfortunately skylar did not get the choice since he was raised as a human and therefore had No Idea about trans and genderfluid and all that until he was like. eight.

he only learned about angel culture when he met mari and astrifer

speaking of astrifer !!! omg let me tell you about this boy because i am obsessed with him

[ he goes by he/she/they btw ]

hes so babygirl to me. hes fifteen and also autistic [ which is a thing that is very common in angel society !!! ]

he has a special interest in outer space [ partly bc thats where he lives lmao ] but he honestly couldnt tell you much about it he just loves looking at the pictures <3

she also keeps her hair braided almost all the time but she'll let it down when sky is around [ THEYRE IN LOVE !!!!! THEY ARE IN LOVE I WOULD DIE FOR THEM ]

she likes music from the 50s - 60s and has one of those vintage record players and a record collection that she keeps very safe in a cupboard in her bedroom :]

he only told sky he was genderfluid recently , which was a very strange experience for him bc in angel society thats just the default. afab ? amab ? no im agab [ assigned genderfluid at birth ]

anyway when it comes to mari they have one of those sibling relationships where they'll be threatening to kill eachother and then three minutes later one of them is like Hey wanna play minecraft with me.

also fun fact astrifer has HUGE wings compared to mari's. like. mari's are actually underdeveloped for her age which is rare but the only physical effect it comes with is that she can't fly. but even compared to the average angelette wing size astrifer's are massive. theyre like almost the same size as his mother's [ full grown adult ]

ANYWAYS. i do wish i could say more but it's literally two in the morning so im going to bed. perhaps i will reblog again and talk about miami and lucie and megan tomorrow. who knows :3

omg ok uve talked abt it sm i wanna hear abt all ur ocs. im curious now

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKOKOK

this accidentally got very LONG so its all under the cut

SO. theres a lot going on w my characters LMAO but ill start w someone whos sort of easy to explain .

skylar !!!! my main guy. he's my current favourite oc and the one i inflict the most trauma on <333

so basically umm. skylar is transmasc and he realized this when he was likeee. ten yrs old. so after a while of mulling over the idea he came out to his parents. who responded by. Kicking him out of the house .

so when that happened he didnt have any friends he could stay with so he decided his best option was to go live in the FOREST. ALONE. A TEN YEAR OLD LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST ALONE ???? what was he thinking. smh

he was doing TERRIBLY at first. like for at least a year he had NO idea how to fucking survive in the wild. but at some point he found a wilderness survival book in a library so he took that and memorized EVERYTHING in it. honestly he should not be alive today but somehow he is

ANYWAY fast forward to like four years later. this guy has been living in the forest ON HIS OWN for YEARS and no one has EVER discovered him so hes just kinda vibing.

but ONE NIGHT while hes DRAWING he starts getting the WORST BACK PAIN ANYONE HAS EVER FELT

turns out hes been an ANGEL this WHOLE TIME ? and that back pain was his wings coming in.

he is STRESSED the FUCK OUT because he has NO CLUE WHAT TO DO and he had no idea this could even HAPPEN

so naturally he does the first thing anyone would do in that situation. he just. wraps the newly sprouted wings in stretchy fabric bandages and goes to sleep

but while hes asleep he has a straaange dreeaaam. basically its a dream where this older angel woman is speaking to him and saying like " there are others like you. do not be afraid to seek them out "

then when he wakes up hes like. What the hell.

so he spends a few days wondering what the FUCK that MEANS and then eventually he just gives up thinking abt it and goes out to literally search for other angels nearby

LUCKILY he eventually finds this CHURCH in the MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN FOREST

he gets curious and goes inside and LO AND BEHOLD. OTHER ANGELS !!!!!YIPPEE

so thats where the other guys come in BUT im afraid im gonna reach a character limit of some sort so ill talk abt them in a reblog :3
