guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?
Tumblr media
[cracks knuckles]
So, Cosh, yeah? The one with the dead crew that’s definitely not his fault but he torments himself with the guilt anyway and developed a few neuroses because of it in the process?
The Stolen Star really was just a freak accident. A tragic one, yes, but still something no one could have predicted.
Well… maybe they could have. Maybe not. Anybody that could have answered that for sure is little more than frozen charcoal or Cosh himself, and there’s not a therapist in this galaxy or the next that’s good enough to get him to admit it might not have been his negligence that ganked his former crew. ‘Might not’ isn’t certain. ‘Might not’ still provides wiggle room for ‘could be,’ and ‘could be’ is enough for his asshole brain to gnaw on for the rest of his life.
Somewhere in the lines and lines of code that kept the Stolen Star running, something fucked up. Maybe it was an overflow. Maybe the timing was just off. Jumping drew a little more power than it should have. The shields flickered as they came out of it — quicker than you could blink, but a blink was all it took for an unknown piece of debris, that otherwise would have bounced harmlessly off their shields, to punch straight through the hull, through the first mate, and puncture the drive core.
The rest of the crew was asleep. They never saw it coming, and maybe that was proof the universe is merciful.
Cosh survived by virtue of standing in the right place at the right time (trying to tape a wrench to the charred stump where his hand used to be) and being exceptionally throwable in zero-g. He didn’t know he was one of the last two left alive at that point. Ith, their captain, yanked him up by the scruff and made the hail-mary pass to end all hail-mary passes, chucking him straight into the escape pod and punching the launch button shortly before the core blew.
His pod crashed on Chapus two days later. He walked off and on for another day and a half, popped into the spaceport clinic for a bottle of water and ‘treatment’ (picked a cabinet lock, pocketed three analgesic auto-injectors, then dipped before the doctor came back), and wandered into the desert. Maybe he’d have felt guilty for stealing if he hadn’t already been emotionally taxed to the point of numbness.
There were communes in the mountains. He could work off the guilt in a commune. He just needed to get to the mountains.
Another three days’ walk brought him to the gates of Makafe Commune, where he asked for shelter and promptly collapsed in the dirt.
Anyway, he’s totally doing fine. Just fucking peachy. Ignore the empty bottles stashed under his bunk.

How They’d React on Valentines Day
I’m know this is the wrong month for this, but the ideas were coming so why not? This includes OCs but can be read as Y/N.
-- -- --
Katsuki Bakugo x Cookie
Cookie smiles as she finishes tying the little pink bow on the little box of dark chocolates, shaped like little bombs instead of hearts. Not only is it Valentines Day, but it’s also an apology for screwing up dinner couple nights ago in the common area. Bakugo’s been giving her the shoulder since then...but everyone loves chocolates!
She practically skipped all the way to the library, knowing that’s where her boyfriend will be. The Pomeranian always goes there during study hours, needing time away from the Bakusquad and just away from them in general. It’s perfect!
Her grumpy boyfriend was by the window, switching between reading a book and writing in his notebook. Seems to be so focused. But he’s going to be focused on eating soon!
“Happy Valentines day, Dynababe~~!” Cookie sang, catching his attention with the nickname. Bakugo used to get angry whenever she call him that, but he’s gotten over it at least. “I made you chocolates~!”
Bakugo just stared at the little box with such a blank look.  “I’m not eating any of that.”
“You might’ve poisoned them”
TRUST: SMASHED
Cookie gasps, mostly in her head as she replayed the words. WHAAAT?! MY GRANDPA WOULD NEVER LET ME IN THE KITCHEN AGAIN IF I DID!!! She slammed the box on the table with an audible smack. “I just wanted to cheer up your sourpuss ass!”
Cookie stomped off, grumbling with puffed cheeks in a pout. “The nerve! I can't believe he’d think that! I-I mean I don't blame him, but still!”
Bakugo took the box of chocolates and undid the bow, opening the box. They were dark chocolates, his favorite. And shaped like tiny bombs with little hints of gold leaf in them. He smiled softly, popping one into his mouth. Maybe I’ll get her something after all.
-- -- --
Shota Aizawa | Eraserhead x Ripley Vex | Hellraiser
Ripley made quick work of stashing her vigilante outfit in the compartment of her closet, needing to be quick!
“Damn it! Damn it! Bloody well done, Rip! You completely forget it was Valentines Day, you're well in it now!” She mumbled to herself, pacing naked in her room.
She just got done blowing up another jewelry store, escaped by the skin of her teeth, and it was when she was lounging on the couch when she got a text from Shota....AND HE MADE THE MOVE TO HAVE A VALENTINES DINNER AT HER HOUSE!!!!
No scratch that. After wracking her brain, she remembered that she was the one who suggested it...when she was three sheets to the wind!! And now she feels under the cosh!
“Aaargh!!! Stop faffing around and start cooking!” She slapped her own cheeks and marched to the kitchen.
-2 hours later-
Shota adjusted his tie again, grumbling about how Nemuri forced him in a suit. Really, I think Vex would be happy that I showed up dressed, he thought to himself. He looked at the wine he got, Pinot noir...wait is Vex a wine drinker? He’s seen her knock back shots, and he knows how much she loves beer. But does she drink wine? Does she even like wine?? God, why’s he thinking about this now?! He’s already at her apartment door!
Ripley stared hatefully at her reflection, as if waiting for make-up to appear. “I dare you to do your worst...”
Knock knock
She looks down at herself, wishing she had more time. “Not even properly dressed! Bloody perfect!” Ripley curses as she just tosses on a random dress, not caring how tight it felt or that she’s bare foot, and all but runs to the door.
“Sho!” She pants, smiling. “Hey- uh...hi.”
“Hey Vex...” Shota smiled a bit shyly, seeing how low cut the dress is.
Ripley follows his line of sight and smirks. “Get your cute ass in here, take out’ll be here in 5. Hope you like Italian.”
Before Shota had the chance to respond, Ripley pulled him inside by the tie and shut the door.
-- -- --
Kai Chisaki | Overhaul x Jahzara
Zara was a bit nervous about giving a gift to Chisaki. He was no longer the boy she knew as a child, and she certainly wasn’t the same quirkless girl he saved. They grew apart, for reasons, and they grew to hate each other...or at least she did. So why is she holding a box of chocolates?
Call her a fool. Call her an idiot. Call her whatever you wish...but she needed to do this. Pops would've wanted them to make up and at least try to get along. But Zara, for all the power she inherited...was scared. Scared that...that Kai would laugh at her.
“Zara?”
She looked up to see the very man himself- wait is she in Pops’ garden?!
“Stupid quirk....” She grumbled under her breath. She didn't even know she teleported!
“This is...a pleasant surprise.” Chisaki said softly, keeping his eyes to the ground. Since gaining her inheritance, Zara’s fashion has become....quite revealing even for a royal.
“Pleasant is one word for this...”
The silence that came before them was unsettling. Neither sure how to proceed. Zara gripped the box a bit before holding it out to the man she once saw as a friend, maybe...more, once upon a time.
“Zara-”
“Just take it, Chisaki. Don’t bother saying anything, romance was never your strong suit.”
The harsh words cut Kai a bit more than he thought they would, carefully taking the box and holding it like it’s fragile. “Um...thanks, I suppose.”
They eyes met, gold clashing with gold. Both wanting to say something remotely nice for once, to try and go back to the normalcies they once held dear, to be friends again...but both knew that’ll never happen. Kai burned that bridge himself when he put Pops in that coma...and Zara never rebuilt it.
-- -- --
Dabi x Keiko (things get steamy so the ages been fixed, Dabi 20 and Keiko 18)
Keiko pouted as she failed to created a rose bouquet out of blood- AGAIN! It’s Valentines Day and she’s got nothing! All the stores ran out of good chocolate, no normal bouquet caught her eye, and she’s a terror in the kitchen!
Best thing she can do is use her quirk to make something. She’s good at this! Why is she failing?!
“Aaargh!!! What am I gonna do?!” The girl screamed, yanking on her hair. It’s too late to call up Sato to make something, and if it wasn't then she’d have to explain who she was giving the chocolates to- and she’s not telling anyone from U.A. she’s dating a villain!
“God, I can imagine my Dad’s face right now...” She furrowed her brows to mimic Aizawa. “Your so reckless, Keiko!” She deepened her voice mockingly. “Your Mum would at least go off with a bang-” Keiko’s eyes widen.... “THAT’S IT! I KNOW WHAT TO GIVE DABI!!”
-2 hours of CHAOTICNESS laaaaaater-
Dabi was confused when he got a text from the little pipsqueak to meet on the roof...in his old neighborhood. He shoved down the little paranoid voice, not wanting to believe she figured out his secret. This is Keiko! The supposed brat of Hell-Raiser, so she says. She’s smart and a little crazy, but there’s no way she’d-
“Dabi boo!”
He groaned at the lame nickname, looking up at the brat. “What?”
“Just in time! Come on up!”
Dabi shudders as a blood snake coiled around him and lifted him up to the roof. “What, no ladder?” He sneered, smelling the blood on his clothes.
“Too much hassle.” The shorter girl hopped up and grabbed a little twig, waving it like a wand. “Ready for some fireworks?”
The brunt man shrugged until he saw the house the twig was directed at, his cyan blue eyes widening.
No. Fucking. Way.
“Ladies and gentlemen and non-binary folk!” Keiko shouted in an announcer voice, “gather round, gather round! Sit back, relax, and please stay in your seats! Kick your feet up and grab some popcorn!” She giggled, holding up a bag of popcorn and tossing it to a frozen Dabi.
“And enjoy the shoooow!!”
Keiko grins as she holds up a trigger, pressing down on the red button.....
The night sky lit up as the bombs went off, colorful sparks emerging and shooting up into the sky in an explosive display. The fireworks going off like cannon fire! The house went up in beautiful flames, setting off more fireworks and causing mass hysteria in the neighborhood.
Keiko couldn't stop giggling, bordering cackling, as she did a little dance. This was just beautiful! And all it took her was two hours!
“Keiko....” Came the low and gravelly voice.
She froze, a bit caught off guard by the tone. Did Dabi not like it? Was it not the Todoroki house? She triple-checked everything!
“N-No one was inside, so no b-bodies-” The black eyed girl was backed up against a chimney as Dabi stared down at her with burning blues, gripping her top in his fists.
“Dabi wait! I- Mphff?!”
Mismatched lips crashed against her own soft ones in a kiss, teeth clacking as he forced her mouth open with his wickedly hot tongue. It was rough, it was primal, it was Dabi. Keiko utterly melt as she grabbed onto her boyfriend’s coat and jumped up, hooking her legs around his hips. Goosebumps erupt along her body as his warm hands found her thin waist and pressed her harder against the brick.
A wanton mewl and gasp left her kiss swollen lips, pulling back to breathe but leaving her neck opened for an attack of burning lips and teeth.
“H-H-Happy Val-Valentines day,” she gasped and moaned out in Dabi’s ear. “T-Touya~”

Tomura Shigaraki x Violet Chisaki (yes the Chisaki family are witches)
Violet stared at the table, looking between the box of chocolates she made and love potions and charms book.
On the one hand, she can give the chocolates to Shigaraki and listen to him berate how terrible they are.
Or she could just cast a love spell on him, making him her slave of passion for all eternity.
SMACK
“Ow!”
“I thought I told you to keep those books away from me,” her older brother grumbled, unrolling the newspaper and reading it. The purplenette stuck her bottom lip out in a pout, rubbing her head where the paper smacked it.
“It’s just a last resort-”
“It’s cheating! Violet, I know Mother raised you better than that! Forcing someone to love isn't, nor will it ever be, real love”
“But Kaaaaaaaaiiiii!” Violet sniffles, holding up a chocolate. “My candies are awful! I tried to make them unique, but that flunked...”
The older man sighed as he tugged down his face mask and popped the bonbon into his mouth, eating it and tasting what was in it.
Coco. Peanut butter. And-
Kai spits it into the sink, hacking as he rinses his mouth out with the handheld sprayer. “Eye of newt! You added cucumber into chocolate?!”
“According to Foodpairing-”
“No! No, no, no!” The golden eye man kept repeating as he tossed out the rest, much to his sister’s shrieks. “No sister of mine is going to poison Shigaraki before I do! Grab your apron and a clean bowl, we’re making a new batch!”
-2 hours cuz author is idk-
Shigaraki groans as he looks at the calendar on his phone. It’s Valentines Day! Great....another day as a single-
Cutie Witch: Hey baby! Got something for you! <3
“Oh right, I have a girlfriend.” He sighs, feeling stupid. It’s not like Violet isn't cool, she’s badass! She’s an actual witch!
Expect he and her brother don't see eye to eye...ever. So it’s always intense when he visits. Silent threats are made, Tomura always checks his bed and literally everything, rude gestures are made, and once he found a dead bird on his desk. Violet ended up going on a tyrant with her brother, screaming about how the relationship won’t fail; so that’s what a dead bird means.
He got a picture sent to him. And he started laughing.
Cutie Witch: My bro and I are terrible chocolate makers...sorry 🥺 Do you wanna get dinner instead?
God, Shigaraki loves his little witchy girl! Plus the look of angry embarrassment on Chisaki’s face? Bonus!!
Supreme Gamer Boi: Sure! I’ll buy!
Now he just has to beg Kurogiri for money...

Hitoshi Shinso x Alessia Corvo
Alessia looked at herself in the mirror, staring at the burns and exposed teeth on the right lower half of her face. The ceramic mask went back on, sealing against her jaw. Her grey eyes darkened as she stared at it, anger filling her as she remembers-
“Kitten?”
She looks up to see her husband behind her, arms wrapping around her waist. “Everything okay..?”
A tired sigh left white haired woman. “No...I can't stop staring at it, remembering...”
“Kitty cat,” Hitoshi pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder. “No one expects you to forget it, no one does. But...don’t you think it’s time to see a doctor about the scar?”
They been talking about this for a while now. There are doctors that can heal these types of scars, and she’s even considered a few of them. But it’s hard...it’s because of this scar that she became such a bitter woman.
“I can hear your thoughts babe...” Hitoshi said, never looking away from her eyes. “Your the woman you are because of you. Not this scar, not him, no one else but you made Nevermore. And I’m proud to be your husband.”
Alessia sighs, feeling so tired as she turned to properly look at the taller man and leans into his chest. “Thanks baby...sorry for such a shitty Valentines day.”
“Are you kidding? Seeing you, is always a gift.”
She smiles softly, eyes fluttering as she listens to his heart. The sound soothing her as she falls asleep in his arms.

TOMORROW: Deku, Hawks, Shouto! AND Kirishima, Sero, Denki, and maybe even more! Stay tuned!

what do your ocs names mean? they sound nice
omg ty! ;0; some of them, their names are pretty much just a little bit of keysmashing until it looks right (enough vowels, easy to say, stuff like that) but as far as the ones that have meaning or taken from in-universe languages, lemme think... 
Coshbyss: Taken from two words in this fan zabraki dictionary - specifically, the names section. “Cosh” means “pride,” as in “pride of the family,” and “byss” is a variation of “Bez,” referring to someone who “protects her young.” Since I wanted to go with the idea of protection, I tried to find an alternate spelling of Bez, which is apparently a feminine name only? (but gender binaries are wonky anyway so who cares lmao) But yeah tried to find an alternate spelling that sounded less harsh than “Bez” - since the Z made it a very harsh sounding name.
Rakeshi’s daughters, Mirho Kutaau, and Phida, are all names derived from Greek numerology and/or the Greek alphabet! (Rakheshi, however, was a keysmash name. Same with his surname Keiroda.)
Chaf’aul’iflar aka Fauli was difficult because holy shit, chiss names y’all. I did want something where the core name sounded very... cute? sweet? so finding the house names and core names etc that’d actually fit the bill took.... weeks, i think. lmao.
عارف aka Arif: It’s an Arabic name that refers to someone who’s an expert in their field, or something similar to that. He’s an intelligence agent, so his name ties into that!
Athenyia: Derived from goddess Athena! 
Howlite: I just. Really wanted an OC that had a type of precious/semi-precious stone as a name. It was a little easier to find Chiss names this time, which was nice! 
Davi Mingxin: First name is literally just “David” with the last D taken off. Mingxin is derived from 明星, which pretty much means “celebrity” though the individual characters mean “bright” and “star” individually.
Wanwo: variation of the romanization of 望和. afaik, individually, the first character means either “to expect, to hope for” etc., or refers to the full moon. Second should mean something like “peace” I think?
Ying Zii: very loose interpretation (and definitely wrong lol) of the romanization of 明淨, “luminous.”
Kara Wren: A Mandalorian derived name. Kara refers both to the stars and to a ruling council composed of former leaders to Mandalorians. (I guess I have a lot of star/space based names lmao) and Wren is a surname taken from Sabine Wren from star wars rebels, aka my daughter and Mandalore of my heart.
Ming Long: she’s from the movie era, I think her name is pretty much 明龍 (simplified; 明龙) and second character means dragon. (shiny dragon? star dragon? something like that? :’D ) and her Knight of Ren name is Heung - 香. It’s the first part of the characters that make up the name Hong Kong, which means “fragrant harbor.” Which means her knight name would be Heung Ren, which could be translated to 香人. I kinda wanted to have a pun/ridiculous-ish name for her title, so there you go. :’)

Cannabis Producers Face Sales Hit as Ontario Curbs Deliveries Amid COVID

On names
Because this post made me think about names way too much.
Morgana Amell was named for the first witch/mage who came to mind, and also for the reviled misanthrope who changed the course of a kingdom. Of course, BioWare got there first with Morrigan. My face was a picture when she was introduced. I also just liked the sound of “Morgana Amell” - it has a nice ring to it. Lots of interesting vowels, rises and falls, almost like a cast spell.
Guinevere Hawke was named because I heard you could end up Viscount. Crown in concept art. Theme. Etc.
Yvaine Esmerelda Trevelyan was named partly because she was a jobbing knight-errant/paladin character type in terms of personality, despite being a mage. I chose Owain/Ywain, as he was one of the lesser-known, more questing knights. The fact he’s the Knight of the Lion was purely coincidental (hell, originally I was torn between Cassandra and Blackwall for romances). She was also partly named, yes, for Stardust - after all, she was blonde, dragged on a great quest against her will and almost pathologically snarky. That and I truly loved the “evening star” meaning; I suspect that was a Gaiman creation, but he credits it as an obscure Scottish name, and that was one of the cultures I drew on for my Marches headcanons. “Esmerelda” is a nod to Esmerelda Weatherwax, another no-nonsense healer, and was also given partly in memory of Terry Pratchett in general. I tend to headcanon that, much like in real life, Marcher nobles are often given big, unwieldy names (and as someone with way too many middle names, I wanted a character to share my pain). I wanted something older and unexpected for Yvaine’s middle name.
Koshrokaar Adaar was named back when we hadn’t been given much info about Qunlat, partly because I liked the syllables and partly as a nod to Shokrakar. I actually originally planned on playing an f!Adaar named Shro (same name), but Kosh happened and I never looked back. Also, I headcanon until we’re told clearly otherwise that his name translates as something like “peaceful one,” or “one who brings peace,” but his parents realised that his nickname sounded like “cosh”, as in “big stick to hit things with,” and were far too amused by this. Well, that’s certainly one way to bring peace. Named partly for his shy, calm nature, even as a kid. Koshrokaar is Qunlat, but not a trad Qunari name, as it’s more about what you are than what you do; that was a conscious choice on the part of his parents. 
Galahad Owen Keir Trevelyan was named partly because I considered “Calenhad,” but I already had a character named Cal and I wanted to stick with the Arthurian theme. Galahad was also known for his clarity of purpose and moral purity, and his utter, singleminded devotion to a greater purpose, which Gal shares. He believes the only useful thing he has to give is sacrifice, and he needs to get his mission done regardless of personal cost. (As I said in another post, Gal most definitely is not named for Galahad’s chasteness. *snort* He got very bored as an Ostwick noble, and had certain ways of alleviating that.) French naming/mythology is also appropriate for him, because I went with French and German elements for his Ostwick, partly inspired by traditional romantic/chivalric tales and Chretien de Troyes stuff; Gal is the most explicit, proper chevalier/paladin archetype I’ve written. Owen is just gender-swapped “Yvaine,” because in another universe... well; it’s a nod to the fact they’re each other’s equivalents and she exists somewhere out there. “Keir” is for Keir Hardie, another grumpy type who accidentally ended up changing a political system, and also because I have often called Gal “the most Scottish-looking character who is not actually Scottish I have ever created” (his whole look was partly Viking and partly Celt-inspired).
...Damn, I love names far too much. Are there any specific reasons for you lot naming your OCs, or idiosyncratic meanings?

ghost hunt and secret for cosh and dekdek pls i love them
[oc asks: not-so-nice edition]
ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?
oh boy i’m gonna need a cut for this oops oops i'm sorry this got really long really fast
Dekdek is haunted by the memory of her nyityof companions that didn’t make it home. Her nyityof started uneventful enough; like other uknuks before her, she made the trek with her traveling companions — Toz Morningsun, Govi Mossyplum, and Zuzu Earlybloom — from Makafe Commune to the bustling Themis Spaceport to rent a charter ship. It was there they met Gatha, who was looking for a helping hand on her voyage, and they just so happened to have eight hands perfect for helping. Their first stop, in the Ellyt'it System one cluster over, consisted mostly of loading cargo and Gatha’s (definitely exaggerated) tales of her many adventures across the galaxy. En route to the cargo’s destination, however, they were set upon by pirates. Dekdek was in the cockpit at the time fixing a few loose panels; quick thinking by their captain saved both of their lives — Gatha stashed Dekdek beneath her shirt and pleaded with the pirate captain for mercy. They were both dead anyway if he didn’t, so it was worth a shot.
He did.
Dekdek’s companions didn’t have the same luck.
Neither Dekdek nor Gatha took their deaths well, but neither Dekdek nor Gatha particularly cared for mercy. They waited for the crew to go to sleep, planted a few explosives around the ship, and made for the escape pod. One of the jerry-rigged explosives detonated early. Gatha only just managed to snatch Dekdek up before she was shut on the wrong side of the escape pod’s blast door. Dekdek suffered burns on the left side of her body and Gatha ultimately ended up losing her right arm. It took them a year and a half to procure another ship and take it from ‘garbage’ to ‘will probably survive a few jumps’, and from there, Gatha took Dekdek home to Makafe Commune. Dekdek had all that time to move past the guilt of losing her companions. Seeing the little caves Toz and Govi and Zuzu would never return to brought it all back. Of course everyone was happy she was safe and home and alive, and warmly welcomed her very large, sad friend, too, but all the tinkering with her caregiver, Boki, and hugs from her mama, Tulo, and snuggle piles with all her neighbors and nest-siblings wouldn’t resurrect her friends.
It took a very long walk across the wilderness with Patriarch Mogi to shake the depression from her shoulders; they talked about what happened, he told her what a disaster his own nyityof had been — his companions had been eaten by wildlife on Pruna — and they concluded their trek at the memorial field: where they laid to rest the spirits of all the brave and adventurous uknuks who never made it home. It happened often, he told her, and it’s why they never forced anyone to leave on a nyityof. It was a dangerous galaxy out there for little uknuks, and everyone accepted the risk when they left the communes that they might not come home with all the pieces they left with, or even at all.
Speaking of missing pieces, Cosh also had a pretty fucked up time away from home — he’s five years Dekdek’s senior and very much the annoying older brother she always begged her parents for. He’s haunted by a lost crew, too, and he’s got a reminder that’s a lot harder to hide; somewhere out in dark space, there’s a burned-out husk of a derelict freighter that serves as the final resting place for seven of the bravest souls Cosh has ever met — and his left hand, probably. Bits of it, anyway. Rest in pieces, Lefty, you were the best companion an uknuk could ask for on cold, lonely—
Ahem.
He shrugs it off, dodges the subject, and meets every question about his past with a joke or a question of his own, and that’s how he copes with the fact that — though his crewmates would never see it that way, and it was in fact just. a horrible fucking accident no one could have predicted — it’s his fault the Stolen Star is nothing more than a charred coffin.
hunt: Who or what is your OC hunted by? A person, a feeling, a past mistake? Is your OC able to let their guard down, or are they constantly alert?
If anyone’s hunting Dekdek, they’ll be chasing a ghost for a long, long time. During the year and a half she and Gatha were trying to get the fuck home, they became paranoid, jumping at shadows and cowering any time they spotted anyone who looked a little too much like that pirate captain — just in case, it was always ‘just in case’ with them. Better safe than sorry. This does not, of course, apply to any machine she touches. No, those require a fair bit of faith and possibly a kick-start and/or a lead container. Though when you really think about it, why else would someone that paranoid rig so much shit to explode, set traps and tripwires around any hotel room she has to stay in, take things apart and put them back together just a little bit wrong?
Just in case, right?
She only lets her guard down during the night cycle, when she burrows under Gatha’s blankets to sleep.
Cosh, though. There’s a reason he checks the guns and hull’s integrity and shield generators over and over and over again. There’s a reason he makes sure Dekdek’s ‘fuckin’ experiments’ have failsafes and killswitches. There’s a reason he doesn’t sleep when Dekdek’s asleep despite also being naturally diurnal, and barely sleeps when it’s his shift. There’s a reason he doesn’t take his eyes off the system console for hours at a time — Suzo refused his request for a bucket, the germophobic bitch, but that’s why a ship never has just one engineer.
It doesn’t take much to cause a catastrophic failure in space.
secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?
Let’s lighten things up a bit, huh?
Dekdek chews on her thumbclaw in her sleep. Her street cred would be ruined.
Cosh cheats at cards every fucking time. Rees still hasn’t figured it out.

*shoots a ref for another gw2 OC I've never introduced before out of a T-shirt cannon at you*
i have color coded the leaves on his back in an attempt to show how they are like interwoven 👌
anyway, this guy's name is Orange Fantam, because no one can stop me from naming my toons after soda UwU
he is basically Taimi's lab assistant / bodyguard. and when I say he's a "bodyguard" what I mean is he stands around looking bodyguard-ish, so when anyone tries to tell Taimi she "can't do stuff alone, because she's too small/young/weak or whatever" she can be like no, you see, i have this big dude to protect me (he basically never actually has to do that) and lift heavy things (okay he does do that pretty often)
also he has an Asuran boyfriend named Cosh, who is small and nervous. akin to a chihuahua

Grey
The door hadn’t completely shut behind me and my duffel bag hadn’t even slid off my shoulder before Peti crashed into me.
“Mija! Tell me—did you win? You had to have won! Right? Right?”
She held my face and neck so tight in her hands that it was difficult (and not to mention annoying) to answer her. “Off cosh I von.”
Her brown eyes brightened again and I indulged her bear hugs and quick pecks on my face. I winced when her lips pressed too hard on the cut inside my cheek. “Sorry, mija. Did you get hurt too much?”
I shook my head. “Nothing I can’t handle, Tía.” I allowed myself to relax in her arms and rested my head onto her shoulder. She was soft and smelled like coffee, sugar, and her favorite perfume. “Can I have some Abuelita’s?”
Peti pinched my side in response and I yanked myself from her. “You can’t have chocolate this late at night! Besides, you’ll break out.”
I sent a tired smile at her. “You would worry about that.”
“Well someone has to. You work on your strength while I make sure you still have sex appeal.”
“You know what? I’m going to bed now. Good night.”

Failure, Future and Guilt forrrr Vigo and Dekdek pls?
[oc asks: not-so-nice edition]
failure: What's your OC's greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?
I don’t know if it’s really a failure, but Vigo’s kind of the oddball of her family; the rest of them are tech-whizzes and chronic tinkerers, but she could never really get the hang of it. Everyone knows, it’s no secret that her younger sibling, Caf, changes her ringtone every time she goes home and she’s just sort of resigned herself to xer mercy. Dekdek and Cosh have taken up the mantle of harmless pranking when she’s back on the ship.
On the opposite end of the tech spectrum, Dekdek’s had more than a few of her improvised explosives detonate early, the worst of which was the one that fucked up her left side and cost Gatha her right arm. Gatha might have moved past it, but Dekdek definitely hasn’t.
future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?
For Vigo, it’s dying early. She knows it’s possible and she’s got too much shit to do to put herself in situations that increase the likelihood of it.
For Dekdek… ending up alone again. Not being welcome home the next time it happens. I think rigging shit to explode is her coping mechanism at this point, so she’s not taking all of the steps she could to avoid it, but. She’ll always be welcome home, even if she doesn’t think so.
guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?
I swear Vigo is like the least tragic of my characters. She’s definitely tripped over Dekdek and Cosh and stepped on Liki’s tail and one time she threw Roki across the cargo bay because xe was all wrapped up in a heavy duvet and weighs fucking nothing — she’s clumsy, and sometimes she’s in a rush, and those are things she feels a little guilty about. She doesn’t ever run from her feelings, though, and guilt is no exception to the. Acceptance. She makes up for it, too, even when whoever she’s slighted isn’t bothered by the accident (although Roki may have milked that shit a little much, but that’s okay, xe can have a little fussing and spoiling, as a treat).
Dekdek’s never going to forgive herself for Gatha’s arm, tbqh. Definitely accepts the guilt. Wallows in it, even. Gatha’s long since forgiven her — hell, she got a sick fucking cybernetic arm out of it, it’s got a goddamn shotgun attachment.
