#TDLR: im very normal about my ocs

HI
Tell me abt whatever OC is living rent free in your brain rn please
Infodump at me
Oh gosh which one? They all live rent free in my head lmao.
So... I guess I'll do a brief explanation of each of my favorites.
And I'll use the pepperjackets picrew to show you what they look like i suck at drawing
Ok so:
Hawthorne Carter:
Tumblr media
My first real OC. I made him when I was 14, so... three years ago (jeez that's a long time now).
And all along those three years, I've been a bit of an angst addict, so... let's just say I wouldn't want to be this guy.
He's a werewolf, and I may or may not have nearly tortured him to insanity. i'm so sorry man
He's sixteen as of the start of my wip, and he's essentially caught in the middle of God's hyperfixation. Because in this world, god is a seventeen year old girl. And woo boy does she have issues. She got a wee bit too attached to H, and may have also ended up accidentally killing him but she brought him back to life whoops. Anyway, that's a whole other thing.
My second OC:
Theodore Varma
Tumblr media
He's Hawthorne's best friend. I actually don't know why I keep this guy, he doesn't really add anything to the story, but I'm kinda attached to him anyways.
OC three: Iona Crosby
Tumblr media
WITCH LADY
she's the absolute queen of confidence. Originally she was that classic 'smart girl' who can do no wrong, but then I went, fuck it. So now she's definitely not perfect. She has no clue how to deal with Hawthorne's ptsd, and she can be kinda insensitive, but she's trying. Sarcasm is her first language.
OC four:
Cody Alvarez
Tumblr media
Cody's gorgeous. He's a mind reader, and really the only one who can properly deal with Hawthorne without freaking him out. He's chill, and fun, and just has a comforting vibe. He's also blind. .
OC five: These are from my second wip, which is essentially the sequel to my first wip. It follows the seventeen year old god on a redemption arc.
Casey Cole: My all time favourite OC.
Tumblr media
Casey is chaos incarnate. They just do not give two shits about anyone. Except Robin, that seventeen year old god. Casey is essentially the caretaker of Robin making sure she doesn't kill a guy again
OC Six: ROBIN!!!!! She's god, man.
Tumblr media
You may notice that my name is also robin. I did not name my oc after myself, i named myself after my oc.
She's god, she has major attachment issues, and she's madly in love with casey. All the people she's loved before have died because she killed them
But it's chill now! Casey's keeping her in check.
OC seven! The last OC!
Owen McCarthy!
Tumblr media
Owen my guy. He is an absolute tank of a boy. truly large. He's not happy with robin, because he also got caught up in the whole torturing thing Hawthorne went though (which was robins fault, to be fair). So he tries to kill her. But it's all good 'cause eventually he becomes friends with Casey and Robin because he couldn't bring himself to kill her (and Rob helped him steal from his parents so he could run away).
___
Tada! my OC's! Sorry about the long post, but it was very fun telling you about all of them. :D I love them all so much!!!!!
Thanks for the ask!

1-10 for an oc of yr choice (since i don't know any of yrs (yet))
meme here
I’ll use my FFXIV OCs bc I’m finicky abt sharing anything on my manuscript OCs in public
Vaste/U’ralhana Odh:
1. What is/are your OC’s nickname(s) and how did it come about?
Her name situation is a little messy but theres a reason behind each one both canon and non-canon! The game by default gives the WoL many titles across the game to reflect your progress to NPCs like eikon-slayer, Azure Dragoon, khagan etc. all tied to feats or positions earned in the MSQ. 
For non canon titles and nicknames I’ve given her Desert Dragon due to her origin of birth from a desert tribe and their guardian animal being Drakes (as well as the fact that she’s a Dragoon and DRGs are traditionally a class associated heavy with dragons), Nine Lives because of the Echo preventing her from true death which also fits with her being a cat race etc. For more personal nicknames one of her younger brothers calls her Rala after her Sun Seeker name being U’ralhana Odh, dearest is also the most common pet name Yugiri has for her, aside from having the privilege of calling her only by her first name for her Sun Seeker side
Her formal naming convention gives her three viable names,
U’ralhana Odh - name the Sun Seekers gave her when she was born to them, the U designates tribe affiliation, followed by her given name, the surname is her father’s first name indicating he sired her (official FFXIV Sun Seeker naming convention) together the name means Ralhana of the Drakes, daughter of Odh
Osha Tayuun - this is the name her mother gave her before she left to rejoin the Moon Keepers in The Black Shroud, she never learned it was hers until the day they finally met well into her adulthood as the WoL, because Moon Keepers are matriarchal unlike Sun Seekers, the last name is also her mother’s while the given name is a normal girls name (i also made it start with O and try to sound similar to her mother’s first name, Oghii)
Vaste Valescoere - she gave herself this name after once being taught a few ancient Garlean (irl Classical Roman Latin) words by a traveling scholar from what little outside contact the tribe saw, once she made the decision to leave to be an adventurer forever she was banished for forsaking tradition, thus she felt she died and needed a new name - this was the first name i gave her because when i first started playing FFXIV i didnt know the races had naming conventions so i just wanted something that sounded like a fantasy name ( i literally just looked two words up in my latin-english dictionary fddjfd)
2. What is the color of your OC’s eyes/hair/skin?
Blue hair with natural black highlights, green eyes, light skin but not pale- all generally Moon Keeper traits but when i was starting out i knew none of that and did what i wanted, her bizarre appearance once i decided she was from the U tribe influenced her being half Sun Seeker and Moon Keeper 
3. How tall is your OC?
5′2 but only because i thought the CC slider meant 5′6 (cuz it lists height in inches and i didnt bother to check ujhghugj shes sometimes embarrassed by her height especially standing next to much taller people, shes still taller than Yugiri though so she enjoys the slight height advantage
4. What is a noticeable physical attribute of your OC?
Her hair, then her eyes
5. What does your OC normally wear? What would your OC wear on a special night?
She’s usually in her armor with her current spear glamoured to appear weaker than it actually is because the simple style reminds her of what she used as a teen before leaving home:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^^ necklace and earrings are different but the second necklace is more typical
Tumblr media
im weak for the one arm/shoulder armored while the other isnt or not as much aesthetic
For more special/formal occasions w/o armor she likes wearing this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. What is one word you would use to describe your OC’s appearances?
Every time she shows up there’s something dramatic (but not always over the top) happening
7. Does your OC have any markings, such as a birthmark or a scar?
She has the usual pinkish red stripes on her cheeks all Sun Seeker women are born with, in addition to a scar across her nose bridge she got during her huntress rite of passage when a sundrake struck her face (this rite is also how she got the black marks under her eyes afterwards, originally i just liked how they looked and made a backstory for them because the game lists them as tribal tattoos in CC)
The scar i gave her in CC as a ref to Guts from Berserk cuz his is similar (she obtained hers very young like he did as well):
Tumblr media
8. How does your OC talk/what does your OC’s voice sound like?
i chose the CC voice 2 option for female miqo’te (you can kinda hear what it sounds like here and here @2:10 since i cant find a video with just vc2 range) and im happy with it (to me it kinda sounds like Rie Tanaka? as far as i know the CC voice VAs have never been revealed so i cant say for certain, i know shes done voicing for FFXIV as Kan E Senna and Sadu and plays it as a huge fan tho) as far as how she talks all Miqo’te are said to have their own racial language unique to them that no other race can accurately pronounce or understand due to all the hissing, purring, and spitting of certain sounds (bc theyre cat ppl lol) so she’ll roll/purr her Rs, hiss her Hs etc.
On top of this system i imagine the U have their own dialect accent too which i hc sounds closer to Xhosa and Zulu mixed if a cat tried to speak it,so it gets complex! Her native accent however becomes slightly toned down the longer she spends away from the U as the WoL, but its still present and obvious enough
9. What does your OC’s bedroom look like?  His/her living area?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the only description valid for this is an organized mess lmao
10. What does your OC keep in a special drawer?
anything small enough to fit given to her by people from her past or those she cares about that linger on her mind, shes somewhat sentimental sometimes

Gan Arulaq
1. Lizard boi has no nicknames that stick outside of being called Bataar playfully by his parents esp his mother bc he liked playing pretend as a heroic figure when he was little (i was aware when i made him in CC that Xaela use Mongolian names and are based a lot on Mongol culture of the 14th century so he follows this convention)
His first name is Mongolian for Steel, his last name denotes his tribe following the game’s convention, simple
2. he is a tan/reddish brown color for skin with black hair and natural red highlights in a short swept back style (his eyes are also green bc i wanted to see what Vaste’s eye color would look like on a Xaela model, tdlr they glow!)
Tumblr media
3. Gan is 7′1! the tallest of my characters period, he sees everything from up there and it creates some hilarious and awkward situations (poor guy and most doors, rip)
4. his eyes and his big curved horns
5. he loves wearing primarily clothes that expose a lot of his chest and skin in general because thats most natural to what he wore on the steppe valley back home (as well as being a little vain about his physical appearance and liking the feel of freedom in less clothes) however he can and will wear regular clothes, though in this case his fashion sense is terrible
6. when he appears you can associate him with change (succession is another word that comes to mind given his role to Vaste)
7. with the exception of minor scars from martial training and small accidents he’s the picture of normal for a Xaela
8. i actually cant remember what CC voice i gave him by number, but he does have a somewhat deep, rough voice fitting for a boisterous young man while also being capable of sentimentality and some wisdom, he has a handsome voice, he speaks bluntly but full of feeling and often truth
9. his room would be very organized and everything is neatly assigned to its place as well as being primarily spartan in layout/decoration, he’s used to practicality and function from his childhood on the steppe, lots of trinkets from nature, weapons and trophies of victory etc.
10. a ring given to him by his mother carved from sheep bone, it was her archery thumb ring
