[riding-the-sunset-bird]

A character reference based on all four Steps of Our Life! It's only "sort of" a height reference as well since obviously they're not 100% accurate (the devs don't have specific heights for everyone to my knowledge).

I did dig into the code to try and get characters at their "normal" heights but there are other matters at play too (example: Nicolas is obviously "taller" than he should be because he needs to be pushed upwards to be visible enough above the game's text box; likewise with other very short characters).

Still, this should serve as either a nice reference guide for every character or a "height reference" in the sense of getting an idea of which characters are shorter/taller than others.

I'm also going to detail some extra notes below the break, including posts from GB Patch's Tumblr that reference any defined heights (with Cove being the obvious one) or general height things, as well as some more stuff about the MC's height in comparison to the three love interests depending on what you pick.

Cove's height is listed on GB Patch's FAQ as 4' 1" in Step 1 (also stated as "mostly average, perhaps a bit on the short side"), 5' 4" in Step 2 (in-game this is defined as "very tall" on the MC's potential height spectrum, as that is the only option considered on par with Cove's height), 6' 0" in Step 3, and 6' 4" in Step 4. A fun fact is that Cove's final height was originally 6' 3" (191cm) instead.

Derek in Step 2 is under five feet tall (this post also lists Cove as "around 5 and a half feet tall" which you could take as either close enough to 5' 4" as stated above or a potential original height he had that got changed). In-game, he's "short" but not "very short", as having your MC be "very short" will prompt narration telling you that you're shorter than Derek, whereas "short" only has you relate to him in smolness generally.

Step 4 Derek is "mostly average." He wouldn't be considered tall nor would he be considered short. His youngest brother Nicolas will "probably end up as a similar height to him" once he's more grown up.

Step 4 Baxter is "taller than average, but not especially tall."

I've been informed that, on the Our Life Patreon Discord, Step 4 Derek's height is listed as 5' 9" (175cm) whereas Step 4 Baxter's is listed as 5' 11" (180cm), so those are their defined heights. Before that, both of their heights had jumped around somewhat. A post from 2019 said that Derek was 5' 11", but a post from June 2021 said that Baxter was 5' 11" and Derek was 5' 9" (so consistent with the Discord). Then there's also another post from July 2021 (you'll have to scroll down for this one) that listed Baxter at around 5' 10" while Derek was 5' 8"/5' 9". If you're insane enough to try and use the character reference too, then Baxter would actually be around 6'1" at minimum since he's taller than Step 3 Cove (though you could also make the same argument that this means the mom trio of Pamela, Noelani, and Kyra must be decently tall as well since they're so close to Cove on the character reference).

I don't have any experience with GB Patch's other game, XOXO Droplets, so I don't know what ages the characters are in it, but since both Shiloh and Jeremy are characters seen visibly in Our Life, I thought I'd also mention that they're listed as 5' 10" and 5' 5" (or 5' 5 1/2") respectively in XOXO Droplets. Jeremy also apparently grows to 5' 8" in his 20s and he's 22 in the Our Life Cove Wedding DLC (I don't think this is spoken of in the game specifically but he's labeled as 22 in the code).

As for the MC and how their height plays into things, "tall" and "very tall" as well as "short" and "very short" tend to be considered the same for the most part in the game's code. It's not that there isn't a difference at all (I would say it's still notable), it's just that sometimes the game may be more vague about height differences. My post about Errands references this where you don't need more athletic points due to being "very short" instead of "short" to give Cove a piggyback ride.

A guesstimate I'd make is that about 5% of the time, the game will take note of whether you're "very tall" instead of "tall" or "very short" instead of "short." Otherwise, you're either "generally tall," "average," or "generally short." There are also other instances (usually with Cove) where the game might just check if you're either generally tall (around Cove's height) or not generally tall (i.e: definitely shorter than him).

This is actually relevant to the heights because, following all above information, one would assume that Step 4 Derek is average, Step 4 Baxter is tall, and Step 4 Cove is very tall going off the MC's potential "height spectrum" of very short, short, average, tall, and very tall, but it's not entirely the case.

A "tall" MC (generally tall) will look "down" at Step 4 Baxter just as he will look "up" at them or they'll look directly at each other if the MC is "average," same as Step 3 Baxter, but--

when the game has any instance of differentiating between "tall" and "very tall" (they never do this for Step 3 Baxter so the base assumption would have to be that he's just average height), things change.

During Baxter's apology in the wedding of his Step 4, Baxter dips his chin to look at the MC if they're "short"/"very short," levels his chin to look at the MC if they're "average"/"tall," and then lifts his chin to look at the MC if they're "very tall." A generally tall MC still has to lean down to kiss him if they choose to do so though.

Also, during the intimacy scene with Baxter (either in his office or his living room), if the MC is "very short," "short," or "average," it states that Baxter is taller than them. If they're "very tall," then Baxter is shorter than them, but a "tall" MC is "almost the exact same height" as him.

This is all a really long-winded way of saying that GB Patch referring to Step 4 Baxter being "taller than average but not especially tall" might mean that he's some infuriating middle ground between average and tall where he's not quite one but not quite the other either (which honestly is very Baxter of him so I can't even be mad).

alright, favorite characters from XOXO Droplets, OL:N&F, and OL:B&A, and favorite things about them, go!

(genuinely wrote this in record time lmao)

Jeremy king : His miserable attitude is hilarious to me, he gives off major cat vibes, and i like how he looks :3

Pran taylor: EVERYTHING. He makes me mentally ill in the best way possible. I feel for him, and transfem pran is my life.

Qiu lin: very relatable, i like their hair and everything about their step 2 self

Renee: MY CUTIE PATOOTIE!! I love her looks. And her relatable personality!!

Baxter ward: i can relate to his struggles with forming connections and keeping them, his monochrome look is hilarious and i wanna fight him (affectionately)

Counterpoint, he may not be wearing anything underneath... Also, Shiloh is right there to collect laundry. *Shivers* He will take that sweater like one takes precious metals

Oh. Oh no. This is Nate’s nightmare.

I would like to say Nate is sensible enough to always wear something under his sweaters, but if XOXO Droplets has taught me one thing, it’s that none of these losers can be trusted with anything clothing-related.

[randomsix]

Me spending an hour trying to connect my our life OCs (2- cove and Baxter), xoxo droplets (Nate) and then now and forever (poly)

God that was a mess why did I do that. But now I have my OCs all related in some way (extensive ass family tree).

It does also mean I have Baxter getting with Qiu’s cousin later in life, which means I get to write an awkward young Baxter realizing the Lin family has a chokehold on him, haha.

I connected them through Noelani who isn’t super close to most of her relatives so I also imagine a lot of realizations. Like. Cove and Baxter go on a double date before their partners are like wait a min. my cousin.

Or my OC with Cove at a family reunion just. Stares at Nate and is like no way I’m related to you??? Guy that yelled at me?? And Nate is confused as shit bc he has no memory of that. And then she realizes her other cousin is with him. She has too many cousins. I made it like this.

This is all crack and I didn’t need my OCs to be related but given all the funny shit that happens in the games and Easter eggs I thought it would be funny too.

In my universe I also imagine JB with Jeremy since it seemed most connected to the our life series so perhaps some green haired activities will occur.

[misery-loves-order]

Decided to mix Jere with one of my favorite villains.

PRAN HAS BEEN FIXED!

A.k.a. he can blush.

More completely canon screenshots from the game. Definitely

[My ask box is dusty, I’m sweeping up-- Send some requests my way?]

[the-god-of-names]

No boy can have a subtle scent.

Even Shiloh's scent is lying.

Dumbest/creepiest question ever; what would the jerks smell like? Do any of them use/wear cologne, scented shampoos, or do they just smell like their enviroment?

Everett: He uses body spray. His picks don’t smell like asingle, easily definable thing and they don’t clearly list what gives it their scents either. There’s probably spices, woodiness, musk, and that kinda nonsense.

Nate: He smells like the shampoo he uses. Nate doesn’t likechange so it’s always been the optional free stuff the school has. It’s gotthat kind of pure/fresh/crisp/generally clean kind of scent.

Shiloh: He uses a citrusy or herby body spray. Though only a smallamount. It’s pretty subtle. 

Bae: Bae uses a fancy floral cologne mix. It smells likespringtime. 

Jeremy: He smells like generic restroom soap, handsanitizer, mint, or some combination of those.

Pran: He doesn’t use any kind of strong scents that carry on with him throughout the day. He justsmells like himself/his environment. Although, occasionally he’ll smell like paint orcharcoal if he was doing a lot of artsy stuff recently.

Thank you for the ask

yyuo should,, tell me abbout yuor love of xoxo droplets aan thhhe charaxters

aand also whjat id even going on in iit i have never played 💔

this is probably very badly explained cause i have to get ready meanwhile:

(XOXO droplets is a dating sim :3)

Things from the official itch.io website:

The story begins when our nameable protagonist finally transfers into the boarding school of her dreams at the start of her junior year in high school. It would be perfect if it wasn't for that little catch attached to her enrollment: her parents will only let her keep attending the school for her remaining two years if she doesn't make everyone there hate her by shunning them, like she always does.Do your best to show just enough interest in the other losers around to appease the folks while still having time to chase after all the attractive guys in the MC's afterschool group, which just so happens to be a group for chronically unfriendable people.

3 distinct jerky main boyfriend options: Everett Gray, Nate Lawson, and Shiloh Fields, 6 side characters who'll be your buddies and 6 minor clique boyfriend options, each with a bonus effect that makes the game easier

Partial Voice acting for every significant character by a talented cast

The option to break up with your bf and start dating someone else, if you feel like it

A variety of methods to manage your Reputation with the unimportant students

Part-time jobs, stores to visit, useful items, optional mini-games, an in-game phone to call a guy up and arrange a date at one of several different locations

Over 130,000 words. Hundreds of different events, including a collage-style ending system where you get events for every goal you achieved during the game

Cheat codes for those who don't give a f*ck about gameplay and just wanna see the events.

Paid dlc:

Even better cheat codes, 3 more main jerk boyfriend options: Bae Pyoun, Jeremy King, and Pran Taylor. 2 sweet but not-terribly-bright side boyfriend options: Kam Sung and Adrian Wulu. Yet 1 more boyfriend option in the flirtations party boy Lucas Kaiser (New Addition!) +4 Extra Date Events for Everett, Nate, and Shiloh.

(thing for characters will be in the extra post ill link *here*)

I just now realized I didn't really talk abt my love for them but rather them in general.. whatever, if you want a list of things i love and how i relate to them feel free to ask again!

Fun fact about this, I originally wanted to make this a partially-Pran-related update so I could say “Prandom" instead of “Random”, but you can’t have everything I guess. I needed a small break after the EverJer update anyway...

Anyway, new random events!!!

[spaceyspacedust]
