whole hog for marina?

(Turn back if you don't want spoilers about her deep dark secrets)

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

I randomly thought of it, and Marina stuck since then. In universe, she is named after the marina where her parents first met. Her nickname is Chrysanthemum, which is her favorite flower. Her childhood friend group is a nod to the Chinese Four Gentleman, which is comprised of the chrysanthemum, orchid, bamboo, and plum.

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

Early 20s

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

She has been betrothed to Seric Von Plum ever since she was a child. He is the son of her dad's best friend. Unfortunately Marina hates his guts and instead dates and flirts with other people as an act of rebellion. Her logic is if she finds someone richer than Seric, then her parents will call off the engagement. Her crushes are superficial, mostly liking people for their looks and status. She managed to date Liza, but the relationship fell apart because Marina is too crazy and annoying. Despite everything, Nadir is her one true love who is a nice regular commoner.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Chocolate coated flower petals and red velvet desserts

💼 - What do they do for a living?

Noblewoman as determined by her family's legacy. Pirate when she became crazy. Mercenary during her runaway arc.

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

Bossing people around, eating sweets, being hot, shooting, fencing, and joyrides

🎯 -What do they do best?

Really really good at shooting

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

She loves joyrides from sailing, flying, and driving. She hates being bossed around by people or forced to hang out with annoying people.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

The day she first met Nadir as a child and when she first met Liza at school

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

When Liza defeated her in battle thus making her become tainted. When she couldn't convince her parents to undo the engagement with Seric

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

It's the final design for her tainted arc. She has gone through many design changes. Funnily enough my brain defaults to her with the short gray hair even though the look is temporary. I guess I haven't designed her post-redemption or post-timeskip. There are still many designs to do.

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

She has an inspiration chart with lots of mean bitchy girls. Special shout out to Tinker Bell, Azula, Princess Morbucks, and Panty Anarchy. There are also some retroactive inspirations that were unintentional. She is similar to Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona3, except no niceness.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

High fantasy with gothic post-apocalyptic stuff

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

Cis bi

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

1 younger sister that she treats as a minion

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Good relationship. Her parents doted and spoiled Marina as a child. They put up with Marina's antics cause as long lived elvenlike people, it's best to let her let the energy out of her system until she tires out and wises up. They never foresaw her making a pact and becoming evil. Marina is a daddy's girl that pretends to hate her mom but secretly does love her.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

She's really fun to meme and has interesting dynamics with many of my OCs as the crazy one contrasting with the straightman. I also like her design a lot.

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

Just like Ruby I think about and meme her every day. Writing and drawing happen when inspiration strikes.

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

No. Nadir will not allow that.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Failure and that she's completely irredeemable. She's doubles down on being annoying because no one gives her a chance to change, see her for who she really is, or understand her actual needs.

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Theda Thorne for trying to seduce Nadir. Derrick for being Liza's younger brother. Moriti for not putting up with her bullshit. War for betraying her. Elmindreda Endymion for absolutely no reason. Skurret just for being ugly. She beefs with a lot of people.

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

Most likely 2015

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

I don't remember the exact age. Some time in high school.

[breitzbachbea]

7, 15, 22, and 23 for rella!

FINALLY GETTING AROUND FOR THIS, TUTTI SIETE PRONTI PER LA RAGAZZAAAAAA.

Edgy/Misc OC Asks

7. What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

The way she cares for Dolcetto is different. When I first came up with the Acerbi siblings, like, pre-Italian Affairs, in a vacuum, in like summer of 2014, she was way more concerned with Dolcetto's grumpyness and overall his entire demeanour. I can vaguely remember that she babied him a lot more than she still does.

These days, the Acerbi siblings are a lot more well-rounded and realistic in their relationship with each other and all their issues. Gabriella thinks she has to protect her little brother from harm, which includes all the one he causes himself. She thinks she has to save him from himself or she won't have a brother anymore. She thinks she has to undo all the damage her parents have done. Dolcetto, meanwhile, thinks he just has to thrive on his own, be independent and deliver results. He's the reason Rella threw her life away, so she shouldn't care for him anymore. If he distances himself from her, then he can't hurt her.

15. Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?

Never had a faceclaim for Rella. Most of my OCs don't, unless I need a reference as a starting off point.

22. What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

Iiii do not know enough about DND or wherever that stuff came from to answer this correctly, I'm afraid. I mean, they are all on a spectrum of evil for the mafia thing, right? In other AUs, where I can judge her more by character ... Lawful Good/Lawful Neutral to Neutral Good?

23. What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?

It may be disappointment for both. It is certainly the hardest to express - Rella can rage, Rella can cry, Rella can admit she is upset but. The cold and harsh void of admitting to yourself and voicing to yourself and others: 'This is not what I wanted. I wanted something else and I now I grief what I can not have. I had expectations and they were not met, wishes and they didn't come true.' If disappointment is easier for her to process and admit to herself, then she struggles a lot with indifference. I think it confuses and scares her greatly to realize she just doesn't care about things she feels everyone should care about. Having that reaction to indifference is not great for a gangster! Which is why everything gets sublimated into righteous rage and love!!!

[just-eyris-things]

ive been getting a kick out of this type of ask lately on my end, so what kinds of wips are you working on rn?

Oh damn! Too many!!!! (Also I fell asleep writing this, sorry ;-;)

Firstly, there is my comic about Eyris. I am so!!!!! about it. I want to talk about it so much but I dont want to spoil it, AUGH!!! And I am already working on scripts for other events like Airell meeting Achilles, for example. Sadly comic production takes very long on my end since I'm just one person with a full time job that has a lot of unregulated working hours to do at home. So I'm taking my time :3 a sneakpeek at a page thats gonna come out (hopefully) soon!!

I am also working on my Wayfarer IF main, Risha. I am trying to make him more serious, less juvenile, basically I've been putting him in situations and writing his lore for many days weeks....just in my head. One day when I settle down on what I want I want to write it all down. It still counts as a wip, right? .....right....?

As for art... well I can't show everything or I will be banished to the shadow realm (somehow ive found myself practicing smut) but!!! From most recent pieces:

This I've posted some time ago. I've actually attempted (and still am) another take on the SaladMen redraw.

Since I'm on my phone I can't really show it but I'm also working on an art of Eyris and her evil twin a fractal Eyris. They despise each other and one is about to kill the other.

And besides those wips, I have a sky-reaching pile of "to draw" ideas.

Thanks for the ask!! I wish I had more to show, but I've been working really hard at my job and sadly I don't have much time to work on other stuff ;-;

having fvriva thoughts for the first time in a few years and my lord i love my girl she makes me so unwell. is it predestination or free will if you decide to be the one version of yourself that resists the pull to evil, greed, hubris, and depravity, knowing that if you give in then maybe there was nothing special about you in the first place. maybe there will be something special about the one that comes to exact judgement upon you in your place

nadir + love hog

The most romantic chap

How does your character view the idea of romantic love?

Nadir is super idealistic, strongly believes in true love and destiny. Love is for everybody from all walks of life, so it's not impossible to obtain. He loves love

2. What was your character's first heartbreak, and how did it influence their approach to relationships?

Nadir never dated anybody because growing up at a human orphanage and city, people avoided him for being a vampire. I guess the closest thing to heartbreak is people's refusal to get close to him during his childhood. This influenced him to be a romantic yearner that wants to prove himself as a good person

3. Does your character believe in soulmates, and why or why not?

He absolutely believes in soulmates. As a kid, he first met Marina at a park while doing part time work shoveling snow. Despite being a stranger, she was the first peer around his age to be nice to him who also empathized with being misunderstood. He never stopped thinking about her and wants to find Marina again when they're adults

4. What traits does your character find most attractive in others?

Nadir likes being around nice people, the inside is more important than outwardly looks. Since he grew up surrounded by mean people, he is attentive to decorum. Though he does have a personal preference for fae finding their culture and looks fascinating, which is considered very weird among vampires

5. What does your character fear most in a relationship?

Admittedly it's crazy he is banking so much on Marina, but Nadir believes so strongly in destiny that he will work hard to make it flourish when they meet again. The one fear holding him back is that Marina changed too much or is too scared to give things a try, that it's too late to help her. Fear that he is not doing enough

6. How does your character handle jealousy or insecurity in relationships?

Nadir is not a jealous type

7. What past relationship still impacts your character's current life?

Not applicable since he never dated

8. How does your character show love and affection?

He shows affection through cooking delicious food and playing the lyre

9. What significant change has your character experienced in their understanding of love?

Although he grew up at an orphanage, he did have a father figure, Oscar Van Docil who was a dishonored fae lord exiled by his clan. Albeit the paperwork was never properly filled out to be adopted by him. Oscar taught him how to play lyre, read, write, cook, etc. He showed Nadir how ungrateful and cruel the world can be despite his loyalty to his clan. Nadir learned that to fight against that, he must become a gentleman that spreads love and smiles

10. What sacrifices has your character made for love, and were they worth it?

Well before reuniting Marina, Nadir took down underground vampire gangs that wanted to envelop the surface world in permanent darkness. Certainly worth it

11. How does your character's cultural or familial background influence their views on marriage and relationships?

Nadir is half-human/half-vampire, strongly takes after his vampire mother. Albeit his birth parents died when he was young so he was never familiar with his vampiric heritage. Though vampires are solitary people that mostly see love as just a tool. (This doesn't apply to his parents of course.) He grew up in a human environment and witnessed many weddings at the park he shoveled. So he has a romantic view of weddings being beautiful and full of fun festivities

12. Does your character have a relationship that everyone else misunderstands?

People think his relationship with Oscar was out of pity since he was a pathetic old man that lost his rank. Nadir did look up to him as a mentor. A funny contrast is that on the surface world, people ignored Nadir, but once he goes underground to be among vampires, a ton of people find him so irresistible. Yet he is completely oblivious to their advances since he is so hyperfixated on Marina. His fellow vampires think he is a lovesick fool chasing an illusion

13. How does your character handle rejection or unrequited love?

Luckily for Nadir, destiny is on his side. If anything he is the one that provides unconditional love

14. What lesson about love is your character still trying to learn?

Learning about patience and that he even if he gives his 1000% in a relationship, the other party (ie Marina) may struggle to keep up with his pace. She has gotta sort out her own personal problems, which Nadir can't help with every single one of them. He's gotta chill while still being present as a support

15. How has your character's professional life affected their romantic relationships?

I see him having enough maturity to balance his work and love life well. He wants to make the world a better place for people with bad childhoods like him. Having a good relationship means he can be a role model to others. By making the world better, he can enjoy more of life with his loved ones

Can I get the whole hog for Wilton Rader pls

Oh man...the og...

I have been so evil to this poor guy and i will do it again

OC lore for the poster boy of suffering below:

^ This is Wilton Rader (late 20s & mid 50s respectively)

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

Wil here was the first victim of my 'W' name obsession

I didn't wanna give him a "boring" name like William, so I looked up variants that 'Wil' could be a nickname for + Wilton won

last name (Rader) was picked bc together his name means 'Wheelmaker Who Lives by the Stream' & it felt like a nice little easter egg foreshadowing his retirement

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

As of the Dead Wood storyline, he's in his mid-late 60s

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

Walt!! They met after being recruited for a demonic civil war neither really wanted to take part in. They became nearly inseparable over the course of The War, but Wilton still had a hard time coming to terms with how he really felt. He was only able to admit his love for Walt many many years later, when he thought the world was about to end. your typical mlm confession

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Being the only member of his family that can't feed off of intangible emotions, he's forced himself to learn how to cook and is pretty good at it!

He's got terrible food anxiety regarding red meats, so he uses fish and eggs instead - he loves making quiches!

💼 - What do they do for a living?

Wilton is a woodworker! He goes into town every so often to sell his wares; anything from bed frames and cabinets to mini wooden sculptures

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

Wilton likes to spend his free time reading, or at least practicing.

He never got the chance to go to school, so never learned to do it in his youth; a fact that he's embarrassed of but will never admit.

🎯 -What do they do best?

He insists his only talent is whittling & carving and will fervently refute anyone who says otherwise.

Unfortunately for him, it's hard for many to forget his fearsome and bloody past.

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

Aside from woodworking, Wilton loves to take long walks along the river, especially when it rains. It's a deeply calming experience for him.

He hates having to recall or talk about his younger years. Apart from meeting Walt, he doesn't believe there's anything good worth remembering, let alone telling his daughter.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Holding a baby Bambi in his arms for the first time. Well, "arms". She was so small that she fit into the palms of his hands and her teeth hadn't yet grown in; he stayed up all night just holding and rocking her.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

A tactical error during The War led to him and his troop being ambushed and his wings were ripped out for trophies. As punishment, he spent his entire recovery in a nightmare coma induced by the demon that lives in his brain.

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

yes and no..

OG design is him as a youngin w/ a blue hoodie he never takes off (bc of the little antlers)

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

an RPG i was apart of run by @/fvriva on Scratch, my first social media

He was originally a mlp horse(?) turned human if you can fuckn believe it....

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

Fantasy Body Horror

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

Cis(?) + Aspec

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

Just Warren, but they don't talk much without interference from Bambi. After mauling him, Wilton doesn't feel like he deserves to have a relationship with his brother. He respectfully keeps his distance.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

TERRIBLE.

His father (Gindikouk) is a demonic spirit of decay who trapped and tortured him in his own mind for decades. Wilton wants nothing more than to forget about His existence entirely.

His mother (Fable Monroe) was a witch who only gave birth to him so Gindikouk could have a host body. She died before he could meet her, but that was probably for the best.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

The angst for sure, but also exploring how he heals from it.

It's pretty easy to traumatize a character but it's been more interesting to see how they put themselves back together.

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

I used to write about and draw this guy all the time.

I've since let him "retire" so I can focus more on Bambi + co!

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

I had a lot of drafts where I killed him off and none of em felt like a satisfying end for him.

He's technically dead in Dead Wood, but that's after getting a happy ending so it's fiinnee

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

That Gindikouk will somehow worm His way back into Wil's life

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Gindikouk. hands down.

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

Since 2013 i think!

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

12!
