3) An OC I’ve never used for anything

ooch ouch the reject pile... this one’s a little hard to answer because i honestly repurpose my ocs all the time cuz i rly hate giving ideas up but there’s been a few characters in an rp i’ve done that i made but they just... didn’t go anywhere... 

or, like, there’s plenty of ocs that last like two seconds because i want a character for so-and-so fandom but then i don’t do shit with them besides think about them a lil... s’why i wish i could draw cuz at least i’d be making them exist in SOME way

OH OH and one time me and britt made vampire brothers together and they were cute as hell and then we forgot about them forever r.i.p.. they were cute

edit: I JUST REMEMBERED. there was this subplot in the original high school version of cc where there was this kind of android/cyborg race that i had shoehorned in there because i was watching a lot of existensial robot anime at the time and i was just so in love with that parents-make-android-clone-of-their-dead-kid trope that i wanted one with rachel’s sister. i don’t feel like making that a thing in the current version of cc though because that’s too much effort and robot media is just making me tired rn but. that was a thing.

13) An OC inspired by something completely unexpected

interesting question... i think, especially because i’ve just been writing a lot in RP communities for so long, it’s kind of new to me to create an OC to serve a purpose in the plot, rather than because i just felt like making an OC and then i later figured that they’d be good to do this-and-this

so when i decided to make adcl i kind of realized ‘oh shit i need a character so that this can happen’ and had to make one appear, which is pretty backwards for how i usually do things

it was also interesting knowing that i needed to have a character that 1) had to embody a concept that didn’t belong to me, and had to do that in an interesting and creative way that was unique to me, and 2) had to have this concept be reflected IN both their superpower, their personality, and their motives as a villain

which eventually led to me having ayameko, and a lot about her character has been really fun beCAUSE a lot about her is very familiar in the usual tropes that surround this concept (the concept being hanahaki disease). i also just absolutely adore writing villains, and her motives especially (that she did everything she did because she was obsessed with the need for people to love her. and NOT to love her in like a pure, true love kind of way, but that she was addicted to manipulating people into situations where they had to die for her) was just? fun and new when i compare her to characters like red or hydra or nathaniel. i have a lot a LOT of characters obsessed with revenge and getting back at people for something, or, like, becoming a certain way in retaliation to something that happened to them. ayameko is fun because something bad happened to her but she came out of it unscated and she was like ‘oh? that was cool? but what if i make that bad thing happen to someone else? noice’

.... so i guess the REAL surprise in this character is that her entire character is inspired around love, unrequited or not, and how it could be used against people in a chaotic manner? i don’t see that shit a lot outside of yanderes (and i dont consider her to be one) so it was fun YEAh 

i did not mean to talk about her so much but i love her so :’(

17) The easiest OC for me to write (and why!)

probably red because i’ve been writing for him for over a decade now so at this point it’s like a second skin... especially his dialogue, i can’t stress how effortlessly writing the way he talks is now, when that was something i used to have trouble with a lot back when i first pooped him out

25) An OC I’ve changed a LOT

tsg in general changed a LOT from what it used to be. nora is pretty similar to her original incarnation but nisha is COMPLETELY different. she started out pretty much like the protag of my immortal because i made her, like, last year of middle school i think? so she was just this pale white bitchy too-cool-for-you emo girl in high school named rachael who hated everyone but her far-too-hyper friends that she would put up with day by day, and who kind of stumbled into this big dramatic mess of a plot...

... which is so funny to think about. anyway now she’s this shy indian girl with ocd who is kind of stuck in that halfway point between college and the real world, and the reason she gets into the mess she’s in is partially because of her insistence to butt into her adopted father’s cases (he’s a cop and she’s a wannabe for all the wrong reasons) and partially because she and her bestie is getting stalked, so there’s a way more fun dynamic of her kinda-not-really getting herself into trouble that she likely wouldn’t have been able to avoid anyway. she became one of my absolutely favorite characters to write so quickly because of that (like, when it comes to all my narrator characters, she’s definitely my favorite one) and it’s WILD thinking about how. outright goddamn boring she used to be
