fuckin....here's my goddamn nanowrimo recurring theme, it's trios +1

[hakuryuu]

1, 11, 20, 25, and 29 for the OC ask meme?

1. Tell us 3 useless facts about your favourite OC!:

im gonna pick hollow from tayl cause i was thinking about him earlier today!

1) he was originally supposed to be blind and that was going to tie into the whole conflict with the law that was happening but it was too convoluted a subplot and i scrapped it

2) “hollow” is a nickname and his actual name is “hel”

3) he doesnt like celery

11. Do any of your OCs have magical powers or kinetic abilities?: SO MANY!!!!! I LOVE MAGIC POWERS!! i dont know if anyone has kinetic abilities actually though. new from fmfy can control some of the air/wind around her and can use it to move things if that counts as kinetic abilities, but she can also use the winds to sense/”see” things around her! au, farfara, scoria, and chine from tayl all have magic-adjacent powers that are granted to them by their aspects, but none of them is magical by themselves. iro from lle has a bloodline magic that allows her to “host” the goddess maetra, which gives maetra a physical form in the mortal world. bliss, who is actually a character that i originally created for a d&d campaign and then transplanted into lle, has magic in the form of clairvoyance/prophetic dreams! in see me through, everyone is granted “useless superpowers” by the deus once they enter the half-removed universe, but nobody starts out with them. i dont think any of the main characters in ttsp actively Have magic except ryhs and his magic is kind of like vague whatever-i-want-it-to-be magic that has a ton of really disparate influences sfgdsjlfn. turnadot from lamsm has willpower magic, which is a plot point!! willpower magic basically gives you the like.....strength to do a task that would otherwise eventually break you, something really difficult or something that takes a really long time. i invented willpower magic because it was winter of 12th grade and i was so tired and i wanted a little bit of willpower magic myself :( ALSO NOONDAY, from torredaga, can use magic! magic in torredaga is more like a thing you can learn to do than a thing that youre born with so i dont know if saying that she Has magical powers is accurate but honorable mention! god i feel like ihave so many more ocs that have magic powers BUT THATS THE....NANO OVERVIEW......

20. What do you usually make up first about your OCs (appearance, personality, concept, relationships, etc)?: ALMOST ALWAYS APPEARANCE......usually appearance and personality arrive hand-in-hand; i’ll have a kind of vibe of a character, and maybe a vague idea of what they look like, and then build it from there! the vibe tends to include a sense of how theyd react to situations and how theyd interact with other people and its fun to have those two points and flesh out other characters around them. but design/appearance almost always comes first

25. What sorts of symbols/items/~aesthetics~/colours represent each OC (if all of them is too much, do your top three favourites)?: 

TOP THREE FAVES

-im still SOOOO happy with the symbols/aesthetics/etc of au+farfara+scoria vs chine in tayl.....alongside specific stuff for each aspect (stone for the blade, gold for the gods, flowers for the law) and colors (maroon for the blade, light pink for the gods, deep red for the law) the CONTRAST was a really fun and strong image for me while i was writing it!! chine’s aspect, the steps, is very cool green-blue and tiles and almost an underwater feeling that contrasted very neatly with the pinks and dry head of the other holy figures and i had a really really good time with it

-this is more of a general aesthetic but at the end of season 1 of torredaga, noonday got god markings from all four of the gods and after that would not cover them up, so it became a fun challenge for me to find/design different outfits that wouldn’t cover any of the god markings! this meant no sleeves past the elbows and low cut+open back shirts. i also gave noonday really big fun dangly earrings that became sort of a character item. also teacups. also she never wears shoes if she can help it

-space king!!!! the planet crown and the air of tiredness and loneliness.....unbeatable

29. Tell us about an OC you hardly think/talk about!: silverware girls! i havent thought about them in yeeeeaaaaarrrrrss but i was cleaning my room and found an old letter from manda with fanart of them and was like :O! i honestly dont even remember very much about them but theyre like magical girls whose weapons are big silverware and all their attack names are the like super silly food names you sometimes get at restaurants, like one of their healing moves is “probiotic restore ultra”
