September MC & OCs of the Month - Special Edition: Skylar Barnett-Lyons

Help us in welcoming September's MCs and OCs of the month! That's right, plural! Most months, CFWC highlights one randomly selected MC or OC from our Meet My MC / OC List. (More info here.) But this month, we're doing something different.

In August, @lilyoffandoms hosted a Writers Appreciation Month, and we announced the September Writer of the Month would be selected from its participants. But all participants agreed - Lily deserved the honor! Still, we wanted to do something nice for the eleven writers who elected to participate to help uplift other writers in the fandom. So, this month, each of the eleven participants will have one of their MCs or OCs highlighted.

We will introduce each MC / OC individually, and once all eleven have been highlighted, a masterlist for the month will be created. We hope you enjoy getting to know all about them!

The eleventh, and last, but certainly not least OC of the Month is @aallotarenunelma 's Skylar Barnett-Lyons!

Learn more about Skylar below...

In your words, tell us what you like most about your OC.

What I love about Skylar is his complexity. He has so many layers it's impossible to keep a count of them all. People who understand him can be counted on one single hand, and rarer are those who totally get him.

I love how he can be so open and talkative but also so quiet and reserved.

I love how witty and playful he is and how flirty he can be. It counterbalances his kind and overall gentle nature. He's loyal and genuine but also still trying to figure himself out. He mainly struggles with his identity. He's an androgynous person but partially relates to his androgyny. I love to see how he learns how to navigate through this.

Do you feel your OC is like you at all? How are you alike or different?

Skylar is on the non-binary spectrum, as he currently defines himself as demiandrogyne. He has also stated that he is greyromantic and bidemisexual, meaning he is on the aromantic and asexual spectrums.

I belong to these 3 spectrums as well, so while we don't have the exact same experiences, he is relatable to me.

Like me, he is an artist through and through. He's complex like I wrote above but more than I already am. He is still in the process of figuring himself out and it's a great struggle, whereas I don't have this issue.

He's witty, shy, friendly and playful like me, as well as open-minded, kind-hearted and straightforward.

We don't share the same aesthetics and style, I don't drink coffee, I like oranges and he is British-American - I'm neither.

What is most important to your OC? What is their motivation in life?

What is most important to Skylar is to be able to be himself. It's always hard when someone knows themself but much harder when they don't.

He wants to know who he is, so that he can truly be happy. He carries some sadness in his heart because of his identity struggles. The pressure of society is only increasing his struggles of knowing who he is. He doesn't always know what to do with himself and if there's a true purpose in his life.

What are their biggest pet peeves/dislikes?

His biggest pet peeves are:

- Discrimination. More than angering him, it makes him really sad because this pressing on his struggles. Any form of discrimination is unbearable.

- Violence. Any forms of violence and abuse.

- Hypocrisy. He's too straightforward and genuine to understand this, thus accepting it.

If your OC could change one thing - anything - what would it be?

If he could, Skylar would change that society that defines standards and discriminates and hurts people who don't fit into the mould created and forced upon them.

What is your OC’s favorite quote or song?

One Night by Technicolour reminds him of all the road trips he went on with his family, Saini and her mom every summer.

A quote he loves: "An eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your OC?

Since Immortal Desires book 1 hasn't talked about MC's life before moving to Crimson Beech, I wanted my MC, Saini (they/them), to have someone very special back where they grew up.

A best childhood friend was perfect and just like that, Skylar appeared and I've been learning to get to know him since then.

He revealed himself to be more complex than I thought he would be and telling his story has been a delight since day one.

I hope you will get to know him by reading my series Vampire Heart and that you will love him as much as I do, which is a ton because he's precious.
