#oc building

[baileythebean]

anyone particularly an expert on traditional and modern Polynesian/Hawaiian culture so that I can make an accurate and non-stereotypical OC? Been doing my own research but I would love some input from others :) He is a guy, an JJK OC (sorcerer) and 16-17 years old, if that helps. I js wanna know what to add to make him more accurate. I am also going to base him on a blacktip reef shark!

What's your OC's tolerance for spicy food like?

[leeviathans]

I'm gonna try running a tumblr blog that gives OC prompts, questions, etc! My friends and I bombard each other with OC/world building questions, prompts, and jokes all the time and I thought it'd be fun to do it on a bigger scale!

@taguroc!!!

I'm feeling Mynx atm. I really want to play with him in the Hazbin universe but I don't know what his demon form would look like. I have a demon form for him but not in Hazbin style. I think he'd be a cat or a wolf/dog demon? Idk. Those who know Mynx, what do y'all think?

I've seen a few character questionnaires and wanted to do one myself! This one should go into depth about your character and include enough details about them for you to get a good grasp on them as a whole.

It contains these sections:

Basics (most basic information about them like name, age, species, etc)

Relationships

Magic (if they have any)

Personality questions (there are 53)

What-if scenarios (there are 10)

and Interview questions (which asks the character directly a few questions about themself, there are 14)

I might add more later but probably not.

Intimacy is a wonderful way to explore the foundation of a character and no matter how many people send me messages about how it makes them uncomfortable it will not get me to stop.

Here's the thing. If I mistag something, then yeah I'd wanna know so I can fix it. But if It is tagged correctly, and you know it's gonna make you uncomfortable and you read it anyway, that ain't on me, that's on you.

I'm not just talking about Sex (oooh big scary adult word) But being intimate in general. Naked cuddling, make outs, holding each other for the sake of it. How a character behaves with a partner (or multiple) is a very important part of who they are and something you won't ever get if you shy away from writing it.

A character can be big and tough and be able to face the world only to be defeated by their partner hugging them and holding them and having them sob uncontrollably because they finally feel safe enough to do so.

A character can be shy and diminutive in front of strangers and be able to flip on a dime with those they are intimate with because they know that their partner has seen them at all angles and have nothing to be shy about.

A character can be cold and logical until their partner expresses their needs and so they provide, even if it's not thier cup of tea usually, because they love them and know they have needs that the other person doesn't.

Intimacy is the foundation of a character, how they interact with the ones they love most. It doesn't have to be positive either, maybe someone seems really nice but there's a BUNCH of red flags in bed.

As such... I will continue to write smut and tag it appropriately, and probably continue to get complaints lol.

You can understand your Oc for sure only when you know what would be their exact order at Starbucks. No other way around

[visceraloves]

looking up oc character building posts cause I miss thinking about my ocs but I am also too lazy to draw them

[taguroc]

What is your OC's family dynamic like? (bonus points for found family)

[autistic-zukoao3]

I am working on an original (wow!) story and I am getting too into describing the character but it's just in the notes so... Literally no harm no foul.

*Drags my foot in the dirt and looks up at you through my lashes with the wettest of puppy dog eyes* if anyone wanted to... oh idk... draw what they think he looks like based on my very basic description that would be pretty cool and (if you're an adult) very sexy even.

I'm probably going to try and draw him, but I KNOW I'm not going to be able to draw something I find satisfactory enough.

His name is actually really fucking cool, given that it relates to the Major two Deities(?) of the storyline but I don't want to expend energy trying to explain it in a way that makes sense, since you need to Be In My Brain to fully understand it. Because I have the context. But not in a way I can articulate. It's a half baked idea, you see.

I was hemming and hawwing about him having monolid eyes, because a little voice is nagging that having that is somehow racist? Like, what? "Oh no he has monolids, this is racist" literally how, brain? How? But idk! My white ass has definitely accidentally been racist without knowing it so maybe it somehow fucking is. My OCD and autism really go BRRR when it comes to this stuff. I'm almost certainly overthinking it.

Can I say that I missed the boys. Mac has my whole heart! 💙🌹

Hey hi anon 🖤✨

I know I miss the boys too. I got a lot of anon asks wondering about them and a few requests scattered in for some fun (in the future!) 🤭 Mac is the cutest pie, I tend to forget he's a criminal lol

its those blue eyes of his! He can do no wrong.

OCs aren't characters they're pieces of my soul and heart that I separated from one being and forged into several mini beings
