redcapes characters

redscapes - a famous motorcyclist whos claim to fame is being able to wheelie sideways (no i dont know what that means but shh). never shows his face/never takes off his helmet. skinny and overall just a small guy (relative to the motorcyclists around him). 5'7", 23

rosalina - nicknamed "ro". programs in her spare time, and wears shirts with striped sleeves. likes to game, and doesnt talk to people unless she needs to. roommates with her brother and two other guys. medium black hair, with deep red-brown eyes. hates wearing anything deemed "feminine" (dresses, skirts, blouses, etc) hates redscapes for seemingly no reason, yet knows how motorcycles work and when the next redscapes race is. weird. 5'7", 23

brandon - rosalina's brother and roommate. hes an avid redscapes fan, and doesnt understand his little sisters hatred for redscapes. short black hair, with grey eyes. is a bit worried about her, since she goes out late at night, and returns in the early morning. he makes sure shes safe at all times, but is still very, very worried. 6'2", 26

elliot - brandon's friend from college. pays most of the rent, but thats because the other three get paid very low income, while hes a nepo baby... yeah hes rich, but he still cares about his friends and wants everything to go smoothly. medium blond hair, with green eyes. brandon mooches off of him sometimes, and they have this banter of "hey if you keep spending my money im gonna ask for something in return ;)" but it never goes anywhere. they were each others first kiss, but since they were both "practicing" it "doesnt count". isnt really THAT into motorcycles or motorcylcists but supports brandon. 6'3", 26

theo - the third roommate. doesnt do much except sleep most of the day and game most of the night. barely talks to his roommates. long brown hair with blue-green eyes. 5'9", 24

Howdy! I was wondering if I could get a review of my old OC. Here we go, prepare yourself. 

*ahem*

Name: Dudley Dog Nickname(s): Dudley, Deadly Dog, That Dog, *loud shrieking* (lmao) Gender: Programmed to be a male Duration of Service (Age): 1978-1989, so 11 years, he’s a rusty boi  Species: Dog. He’s modeled after a beagle (ok op, you get bonus points because my dog is a beagle and i am a sucker for ‘em ;w;) Eye Color: Green Fur Color: Grey (INCH resting color choice. a little bit boring for the kiddies, perhaps.) Height: About maybe 6'0 Accessories: At one point he had a green tie, but one of the teenagers working there during the summer stole it. Unique Skeletal/AI Features: Doesn’t really have any, but if it counts he’s programmed to talk to kids about the games around the arcade (“That Donkey Kong game sure looks fun, wish I could go play but I’m stuck here ho ho ho, maybe one of you kiddos could check it out for me!”) Location: Dudley’s Game Emporium (formerly) Ruby’s Party Palace storage room (currently) (godspeed dudley) Occupation: The garbage mascot for a sub-par arcade run by a man in his 60s, he was supposed to be a character that kids could interact with (which is why his little stage is in the middle of the arcade) but in reality he’s just that weird talking statue that teenagers drew weenies on sometimes. Voice: Gruff and ruff, and in a really bad New York accent Personality: Originally he was basically just 70s Chuck-E-Cheese but video game themed. Towards the end of his life he was reprogrammed to try and be more friendly to the kids, which backfired because none of his lines were recorded (So he sounded like the announcer in an old wrestling game “Would YOU like TO BE my FriEND”) and everyone and their mama was afraid of him Quirks: Twitchy left eye, inability to bend over, missing his left arm because it was taken off of him and sold for scrap. Reason for Decommission: During a birthday party for the managers son (the owner’s grandson) he was chattering about some game and began to go off the wall and glitch like crazy. This intrigued the young boy (who was turning 6 that day) and he walked up to see what the robot was doing. By the time his mother had noticed, it was too late, as he had come unhinged from the screws (or whatever) that held him in place on the stage, causing him to fall onto the boy and crush him to death. This not only gave them a bad reputation, but caused a lot of tension in the family, as his daughter personally blames him and his cheap robot for the death of her son. Brought Back into Service?: No, the new owners did consider it at one point, but they realized what that could do to their business and scrapped him completely. In Line for Refurbishment?: No, but they did have plans to make a sort of “revamped” version of him before realizing that it would scare kids away from the restaurant. Starting Location: The back room Passive or Aggressive: Aggressive Daytime Actions: Violently twitches and sparks throughout the day, but not usually in earshot of the customers Nighttime Actions: Slams on the doors of the backroom, screams glitched phrases (“You WILL remember WHAT i WENT THROUGH” “unGREATfull bRATS!”) Lore/Biography: Prior to being scrapped, Dudley was the unsuccessful mascot of a low budget arcade in suburban Denver in the 80s. He was made to cash-in on the animatronic craze of the time and try to mooch off of Freddy’s popularity. The entire project was a mess, between him being cheaply made and barely functional, nobody agreeing on what he should look like, and difficulty installing him, they almost gave up. Unfortunately, the owner at the time, Sammy P. Drywell (he always introduced himself like that) (irrelevant detail) saw potential in this animatronic pile of garbage and on the day of the arcade’s grand opening he was there smack dab in the middle of all the chaos. Years went by and he was never removed despite public complaints (mainly about his appearance and mean-spirited humor, he never hurt anybody until The Incident) and frequent vandalism of the robot. Shortly after a May 1989 party hosted to try and get rid of the bad press from the whole “killing an 8 year old” thing Sammy died of heart failure aged 71 years (but does the way sammy die matter for the story? remember, if it doesnt serve your character or story in some way, it’s just unnecessary fluff. like you can say later sammy died of stress or w/e, you don’t have to be so specific), and his family decided that the arcade was a lost cause and sold it to Maple Entertainment, who moved what remained of the retired animatronic into a spare room in the back, because they thought he could be used for scrap parts and didn’t want to completely give up on him. Interaction with 

Other Animatronics: None, but the kids haunting them are terrified of him. Mainly Bubbles since she is possessed by his grandson. (are these animatronics from the ruby place?)

Trivia: - He is possessed by Sammy’s ghost - He was voiced by Sammy’s son, the father of the boy who met his demise because of him.  - Nobody wants anything to do with him, not even Sammy anymore.  - He will occasionally sing along to Ruby’s lullabies during the night if she walks near the back room (“The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout!” “D-d-d-down came the r-r-rain and washed the spider ou-ou-out…”) - His name was originally Dennis, then Dmitri, then Dudley - Sammy personally can’t stand that he’s trapped in a robot, in the backroom of the girliest restaurant in the world, and will frequently complain to no one (“Look what they did to my a-a-arcade! It’s full of nothing but p-p-pink and pop music!”)

---------

overall a good OC. i’m not sure about grey as a main color but like, it’s not that big of an issue, if an issue at all, and doesn’t need to be changed. i’m not sure how i feel about the loose screws causing the animatronic to fall, but i do like how solid the story is about the death of sammy’s grandson and how that leads into dudley being shoved into and forgotten in the storage room.

– RP Hooks –

Lavender Beds/The Shroud: Ayo’a is now an established shop owner in the Beds. With the exception of his time in La Noscea, he’s spent most of his years within the embrace of the Shroud. Mayhaps you have met him before underneath its emerald canopy?

For the gils: This Miqo’te went through a very hard period after the death of his best friend. His move back to the Shroud and lack of a proper job drained him of most of his gil, pushing him to become an Adventurer. That however didn’t always go too well. He’s made plenty of shady loans while trying to stay afloat. At the moment he’s doing well for himself, owning his own estate and a shop with most of his debts paid. But who knows who more might come by to collect what this former mooch still owes them?

Twin Adders: The easiest way to get used to proper combat and team work (and get a cheap roof over his head) was to enlist to the Twin Adders as an adventurer. He’s still a loyal member of the Grand Company.

Pirates, smugglers, trafickers: Having been part of customs at Limsa Lominsa before, it stands to reason Ayo’a has made some unsavoury enemies over the years. The scar on his face is a painful reminder of this. Some of these people could still be looking to add a couple more cuts.
