19 for all of them!

19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?

ooo okay let’s see.. my fave fact abt Sara is that she’s str8 up a manic pixie dream girl, if the manic pixie dream girl also has severe identity and morality issues and could also use a sniper rifle and wasn’t written for men

i like that Helena has brains AND braun, so while she keeps a lot of things hidden behind her Shit Brickhouse exterior, her critical thinking and sound judgement sneak out the most

my fave thing abt Solomon is just how much he loves, like he loves humanity and you can almost see it radiating off of him. he’s soft but strong, and will stop people from making evil decisions because he loves them enough to believe they can be better

and my fave thing abt Ludwig is that he’s a snarky Piece of Shit. but for real he has a lot of drive to do what he thinks will help the most, regardless of consequences to himself

3 & 11 !

3. How did you choose their name? 

sara actually started out as shaura, a combo of my friend and my own name bc we made her when we picked up fnv bored out of our minds in high school. but i shortened it to sara, and her real name is unknown to her (but her real name is a reference to The Crow, a movie where a guy comes back from the dead and seeks revenge haaaa)

yes helena came from me being mcr TRASH and krakauer came from me looking at a book shelf and seeing a book by Jon Krakauer when i made her in-game

solomon was picked bc i’m a slut for biblical names, and king solomon was like a wise dude and so is this boyo. Harper bc i just liked it lmao

ludwig was actually bc i originally wanted him to have a reptilian vibe, like an iguana, and so i named him Iggy, and made it short for Ludwig (not knowing it means “well-known fighter”). and keeping with his german-dutch roots, i made his last name van der Vuur meaning “of the fire” in dutch. (his full name literally means “famous firefighter” and he’s got a lot of fire-themed things in his backstory dlkhslf)

11. Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?

sort of! i knew that nobody would be straight, except for solomon before i decided to make him interesting to write. i’m actually still not sure if sara is bi or lesbian (and she’s not sure either tbh), but she’s probably a lesbian. helena was always a huge lesbian are u kidding me. and both ludwig and solomon are bisexual messes thank u very much

tfw you’ve been mispelling your own oc’s name wrong bc you came up with it a while ago and just looked at the original info sheet on him
