1, 3, 7, and 22 for Emmett and Rosu!! <3

1. What memory would your OC rather just forget?

Emmett would love to forget the dull haze he was in after his childhood best friend was murdered. Imagine, you’re twelve and goofing off as you sneak into the fairgrounds, and while getting lost in a corn maze, you’re both dragged into a hellish pocket dimension where only one of you returns alive. Now, you’re the weird local kid related to a strange disappearance and you don’t know how to tell people that it was monsters.

On the flip side, Rosu would love to forget how badly he fumbled telling his high school girlfriend that A. he’s not human and B. Their town resides in a Bridgewater Triangle. Thanks to his poor communication, Marisol slid him a copy of Twilight for clarification.

3 . What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

Rosu has the mentality of My way is the only correct choice. This is my moral high ground and I don’t care what the personal cost is.

Emmett lets his insecurities get the best of him, causing him to miss out on things like FRIENDSHIP and BEING SOCIAL. He is a clenched fist of repressed emotions.

7. What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

Emmett is a relatively new OC compared to others. The core of him has stayed the same since conception: a character that stays human, acts as the moral center of the cast, and is incredibly tired and Jewish. The cerebral palsy is the only new addition because I want more disability rep in the genre!

With Rosu, I like playing with the sliding scale of his selfishness. How much of his humanity is he willing to sacrifice, and because of that, how does he embrace (and detest) his growing vampirism. This is a character who wants to live but knows what the consequences are.

22. What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

Emmett was thrown headfirst into knowing that gods and monsters are real. After avenging his friend’s murder, he struggles to figure out what he should do next, but his personal code of I must help those who feel powerless remains at the center. He’s lawful good.

Rosu is a slippery bastard and has also killed people. He understands that the normal laws of justice don’t apply to the supernatural, and that tough calls have to be made. (ex: He’s on Team Murder for complex cases while Emmett is Team There’s a Third Option We Have to Try.) Growing up with a witch for a mother, he knows the old rules and likes to find ways to twist them to his advantage – even as these prohibitions are placed on him the more powerful he becomes. He skirts between chaotic neutral and chaotic good.
