Uncommon OC Questions

Alright, @lady-grumpsalot told me I could do as many as I wanted and I’m super Extra so strap yourselves in (if you read this lol). I’m doing the OC from my post-apocalyptic original story, What Remains, Jinx, AND Nova, my Sole Survivor (because I’m so obsessed with her)

1. A little-known talent of your OC? Jinx: She’s surprisingly good at slide of hand and uses it to confuse James, her traveling companion. Nova: She can sing really well! Pre-war, she had wanted to make a career out of it, but her anxiety and the criticism from her family convinced her not to pursue it.

2. What trait does your OC like best about themself? They both love their eyes. Jinx has complete heterocromia (right dark brown, left bright blue). Nova has electric blue eyes and a slight discoloration in her left, related with her scars. 

3. How many pillows does your OC sleep with? Jinx: One or two, generally, she'll throw them away in the night anyway. Nova: Upwards of three, two under her head and one in her arms. She has to have something in her arms to sleep.

4. Is your OC good at keeping secrets? Jinx: No. Do not trust her with an embarrassing secret, ever. Nova: Yes. She's got her own collection of dark secrets to keep hidden, so she knows how it's done.

5. Your OC's worst habit? Jinx: Clicking her tongue, James hates it. Nova: She fidgets a lot, but her main habit is rolling a pen through her fingers, she keeps a pen in her pocket at all times.

6. Does your OC prefer tennis shoes/sneakers or flip flops? Jinx: None Flip flops Nova: Sneakers

7. What is your OC's opinion on body modifications? Jinx: Most body modification in the Barrens is done within gangs, so it's seen as a sign of danger, but she secretly finds a lot of the tattoos and piercings interesting and would readily get some herself. She could do without the more extreme examples, however. Nova: It's not really her cup of tea, though she has no issue with someone who enjoys it. She lives by the rule of "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone".

8. Your OC is given a full-ride scholarship to any college they could want to go to. Where do they go and what do they major in? Jinx: Non-apocalypse; Since the area is in the vicinity of Illinois, she'd mostly likely go to SIU, and she'd likely major in animal-science. Nova: Juilliard, she'd likely major in music, though drama wouldn't be off the table either.

9. What chore does your OC hate the most? Jinx: Dishes Nova: Dusting

10. Would your OC prefer to live in the city, the suburbs, or the country? Jinx: City Nova: Country

11. Is your OC a blanket hog? Jinx: Slightly. She gets hot easily, so she'll probably throw it off a few minutes later if she does steal it. Nova: YES. Hancock has to keep extra blankets on the floor on his side of the bed. She is a fiend. She must be stopped.

12. Would your OC play by the rules in a fight or take cheap shots? Jinx: She's not a good fighter, so taking cheap shots is the only way she can win in a fight. Nova: She plays by the rules normally, but she'll do whatever it takes to win in a fight. 

13. Does your OC have a widow 's peak? Jinx: Very slightly Nova: No

14. Happy birthday! What kind of present would your OC want? Jinx: Jewelry. She never saw any until leaving her hometown and is fascinated by it. Nova: A pet. Literally any kind. Preferably a cat.

15. Something that grosses your OC out? Jinx: Blood Nova: Eggs. She hates eggs.

18. Something that makes your OC laugh without fail? Jinx: Annoying James. Nova: Puns. She is pun trash. 

19. Something that makes your OC cry without fail? Jinx: Pain. She doesn’t handle pain well. She is the worst person to travel with but she’d paying James so he’s stuck with her. Nova: Getting yelled at in a calm situation. She’s calm and collected while in a fight, but she cannot handle getting yelled at out of nowhere.

20. A obscure/ridiculous fear your OC has? Jinx: Automatonophobia-Fear of mannquins. No. Just. Keep them away from her. She screamed and almost got her and James killed the first time she saw one. Nova: Haphephobia-Fear of being touched. She's very physical once she knows and trusts someone, but someone touching her with no warning, particularly men, can lead to a full blown panic attack.

21. Does your OC have any type of disability, whether it be mental, physical, etc? Jinx: She has a weak right ankle, but it doesn't bother her much. Nova: Anxiety and her eyesight is slightly worse in her left eye than her right, but she can still see.

28. Is your OC a conspiracy theorist? Jinx: Nah, ain't no time for that. Nova: Somewhat. If something has considerable evidence behind it, she'll acknowledge the possibility.

29. Someone does something awful in front of your OC. How do they handle it? Jinx: She'd probably get herself away from the situation, depending how bad it was, she might freeze up. Nova: Depending on how bad it is, either berate them or shoot them-if it's bad enough.
