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.

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 ;-;

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

Cheriville Love Ask Game Hogstyle

@cervicrazed and @fvriva here you go you wanton hogs. I am doing Cherise and Neville together, because by doing one I would have had to do the other eventually anyway

How does your character view the idea of romantic love?

Cherise is enamored with the idea of love and has been ever since she was a child, when she had a dream of a beautiful boy dressed in blue waiting for her under a streetlamp. She wants a storybook romance and a lavish wedding. She sees love as an incredible and wonderful thing, but rare and to be treasured.

Neville sees love as a vulnerability that people can exploit you with and is very careful about sharing his heart with anyone and at the beginning of the story would really prefer not to.

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

Cherise has never had her heart broken. Perhaps she will experience heartbreak of a kind later on but her and Neville are endgame so whatever hurts their relationship causes will heal. On a lighter note in earlier versions of the story she dated Gabriel Foxblade before Neville, a super chuuni edgelord type of guy. She had thought he was her type (dark hair, sword fellow) but unfortunately he turned out to be a lame conversation partner. this did not disillusion her on seeking out love though, it just made her think that perhaps not everyone is destined to find it, and that she definitely should not go on dates with the first handsome swordsman she meets on the street

Neville's heart was broken in his first relationship the previous semester, with Mindy, who was very needy and manipulative, using her vampire mesmerism on him to the point that he gained immunity. It really made him wary of meeting new people, particularly women and girls and vampires,

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

Cherise absolutely does, mainly because they exist in all her favorite courtly romances. the fact that many of them end in tragedy doesn't matter.

Neville doesn't because soulmates and prophecies contradict the theological concept of free will. unfortunately he has a prophecy about his soul mate

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

Cherise, Physically, she likes people taller than her (easy to accomplish), dark curly hair, big hands and physical strength. Aside from that she loves people who match her idealized image of chivalry, as well as emotional intelligence and knowing many skills

Neville likes long, well maintained hair, colored eyes, beauty marks. Non-physical traits include intelligence, shared interests, and after Mindy, the ability to make him feel at ease. as a bonus he realizes that he's attracted to people that make him laugh after meeting Cherise

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

Cherise is afraid of being let down, that she will invest a part of her soul into a relationship only for the other person to not do the same, or to turn out not to be who she thought they were.

Neville is afraid of Mindy's brand of one-sided dependence, and he is afraid in a more general sense that he might have to go through the same rigamarole of meeting someone, opening up to them, showing them his scars, and then it not working out and having to start all over again with someone else. best to just not

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

Cherise thinks a bit of jealousy and insecurity is natural, especially at the beginning, a growing pain that you grow out of

Neville is very insecure generally. He doesn't particularly feel jealousy very often but he is wary of other people expressing it

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

None for Cherise unless I bring back the Gabriel date. As for Neville, I've already said

8. How does your character show love and affection?

Cherise is a quality time gal, but she also likes giving compliments.

Neville is a gifts kinda guy, particularly things he makes himself

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

Cherise is going to learn that it's not all impassioned declarations and big romantic gestures.

Neville is going to learn that it's worth the risk of a broken heart

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

The plan for the great Cheriville romance arc is that they're mainly just gonna be happy and together, drawing strength from each other during the course of the story, which I feel doesn't frequently happen in a lot of genre stories that have a romance plot. they always hinge it on the Will They/Won't They and I'm not about that. This is a long convoluted way of saying that, while I don't think making sacrifices for their relationship is off the table, I don't currently have plans for it to happen. It might and perhaps even will for some good drama but I've got no current plans.

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

Cherise is French, Catholic, and was raised in a castle by her family, all members of a knightly order that defends the mundane world from magical threats. So she is very big on the passion and the big romantic gestures but also on the concept of getting married and having kids

Neville is American, Jewish, of mixed heritage and was raised by a family that, despite being part of the magical community, are also big on living in the mundane world. He has a more modern view of things and a cynical view of the dating game.

Both of them have parents that are happily married, but while Cherise sees it as aspirational, Neville is worried that he'll never find something like that. Additionally his paternal grandparents had their own epic love story and it's hard to live up to that.

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

There will be a period of time after Cherise and Neville confess their love that they will be doing the long distance thing. People who know Neville but have not met Cherise will assume that he is pretending to have a Canadian European girlfriend

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

Cherise would be heartbroken if she were rejected because she would only go after someone that she is already hearing wedding bells over. But she does sort of romanticize pining over an unrequited love and has practiced laying about and sighing.

Neville would never be rejected because he simply would never make the first move. He assumes all love is unrequited until informed otherwise. So he'd just be sad about it. but regular

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

Refer back to question 9

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

they're both starting this little arc as teen students so it's not really a "career" they have going on. Neville definitely suffered academically after his breakup with Mindy, though it was toward the end of the semester so he was still mostly fine. Cherise has a revenge arc lined up after meeting Neville but she's not sprung enough to put it on hold for him (well, except in The Long Sunday where she was also stuck in San Francisco so it wasn't feasible).
