Every oc has a certain aesthetic as you have your own, which oc did you give certain aspects of your aesthetic? Like for example the love for dark lit rooms or handwritten letters?
#dallas got a Huge chunk of my personal aesthetic#like an unfairly sized chunk#some of the others have aesthetics that i Enjoy but that aren't rly Me#dallas as usual is spoiled

Have you ever taken an alignment test for your ocs? What do you personally think of them as? and what is the actual test result for them?
#i've taken a test for a few of them but tbh i don't think it can be totally accurate lol#only you know the particular nuances of your characters#for example schaeler generally would choose neutral or good answers but i know that his actions do not reflect his intentions lol#which to me is how alignment works right?#the relationship between a character's thoughts and actions#anyway#dallas is neutral evil#schaeler is either true neutral or lawful evil#giovanni is true neutral or neutral evil#matthew is neutral good#julia is lawful good#celine is lawful neutral#jake is chaotic neutral#kate is chaotic good

Does your OC have a middle name? If so, what is it / what are they?
#matthew's middle name is francis#after st francis of assisi#whom he loves but the name francis is a bit embarrassing lol#schaeler's middle name is klaus#after his father#those are the two that immediately come to mind and im too lazy to think of anyone else with a middle name....#some of them don't have one or i just haven't given them one

Is your OC more likely to initiate conversation with someone, or do they wait until someone talks to them first?
#giovanni#as im sure everybody knows#is not a conversation starter#he's quite an introvert though i wouldn't say he's shy#he's just veryyyy... private#and#has a bad habit of coming to his own conclusions or decisions rather than consulting anybody#also doesn't like most people enough to want to talk to them#not even to antagonize them like dallas might do for fun

every person has a distinct speech pattern, such as the repeated use of “uh ehm” at the beginning or stutter or the habits of possibly repeating sentences a second time but quieter. What is your oc’s speech pattern? and how would they react if one were to point this out?
#i feel like matthew may have the most complex speech patterns of my oc's#i guess it doesn't seem like it unless you write him but#it may seem like he stutters but he almost never stutters#he stammers which is repeating a full word over and over#and he does this when he's searching for a word or isn't sure about one he's used#also when he's on the more nervous side of his mood spectrum#when he doesn't want to pause what he's saying so he just stammers rather than trail off#he does use ''um'' ''uh'' ''ehm'' a lot as fillers#he will also do like a little fake laugh mid-sentence or at the end if he's afraid he's coming off too serious or nagging#(even if he is actually serious or nagging)#he also does that thing where he cuts off in the middle of a word like he's gonna stammer but instead just switches to a whole new sentence#like he starts over a different way and will sometimes do this 2 or 3 times just to say one thing#when he does trail off a lot... like this... without much stammering or interruption...#he could be too tired to monitor himself or too comfortable or even when he gets preachy or hostile#he speaks clearer when he's not so concerned about how the other person might interpret what he's saying#(when he doesn't care how they interpret it because he's not trying to please or isn't worried about it etc.)#basically his speech patterns are not due to him being shy or socially inept so much as they are linked to his (often) hyperawareness of#how he is received/perceived#it's very important that he say the right thing and not imply something he doesn't mean to imply#anyway this is why i consider him to have the most complex speech patterns of all my kids lol#even if he's only saying a sentence or two my replies for him usually Look.....longer....because of all this shit he does when he talks...

Is it difficult for your OC to say “no” to others?
#sometimes it can be for matthew#he'll put up a little bit of a fight but not enough#especially if it's coming from someone like warren or giovanni and they get pushy and won't take the first few no's for an answer#rather than saying no he'll often just deflect somehow or become unresponsive#he is at least much better about telling people no than he was when he was younger#he was always that kid who would have done pretty much anything for people to like him lol#which often landed him in groups of kids that weren't his friend#and ofc staying on his mother's good side was a constant struggle#compliance=safety#a lot of his outward personality comes from that deep rooted fear of upsetting or angering people#even some of his speech patterns like he stammers and constantly interrupts himself because he doesn't want to say the wrong thing lol#he has gotten better at standing up for himself but he's not totally there yet lol

HEY ARTISTS!
Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:
OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–
There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

The Psychology of Stabbing
The way someone murders another person says a lot. In the instance of a knife, it can help gauge the height of a murderer. It can help determine their strength level and build. It can even tell you which hand they used.
But what about psychologically? Does it tell you anything about that? Absolutely.
Stabbings are often personal.
In order to stab someone to death, you have to be in a very close proximity to them. It’s not generally a weapon used in self defense or in professional killings. That’s because stabbing someone requires manually killing the person, it’s a lot more intense than pulling a trigger.
It usually involves a lot of anger.
Stabbings require a lot more strength than you would assume. The number of stab wounds also tells a lot about the killer. And if there is postmortem stabbing as well, it can signify that the killer was close to the victim and had a great amount of rage.
It’s often a crime of passion.
Of course this isn’t always true. But stabbing isn’t the most effective method of murder. If you don’t know where to stab, if you can’t stab deeply enough, and if it’s not the right kind of knife, the victim has a good chance of survival. Of course stabbings are serious and very lethal, but compared to some other methods it’s not as practical and effective. Especially in relatives or spousal murder, it just happens to be the weapon they have laying around.

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.
It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.
Examples (all done by me):




Here’s an example for how you can use it

Is your OC more likely to seduce or to be seduced?
#schaeler is very easily seduced#so much so that you don't even have to be trying on purpose he's just a fuckboi#dallas is more a seducer when he wants to be#it's not easy to seduce him unless you're exactly his type (older dominant women especially blondes)#matthew can be easy to seduce... or at least easy to get into bed lol#when he's seductive it's rarely intentional#giovanni is NOT a seductive kind of man no matter what y'all tell me#you thirsty hoes#he's the worst what is wrong with you#(unless i guess he's trying to be.........charming or......romantic.......which is almost never except with matthew sometimes.......)#and as we all know he's totally frigid so there's been no real luck seducing him

What is your character’s opinion of individuals who have little formal education? >Is your character part of that group? >>How has this affected your character’s opinion?
#cool question for people like exxies i think#some of them do have a formal education and some of them don't#and i guess their opinion would depend partly on what their situation was during/after the wars#in giovanni's case he did have a few college degrees which amounted to shit after the wars#i don't think he really cares anymore about whether or not someone has a formal education as long as they can perform a job#for example there are fellow exxies who are formally educated that he doesn't have much respect for#and exxies that don't have college degrees that do their jobs well that he does respect#another case in point is marcos#it doesn't really matter that marcos reads at a 3rd grade level because he can shoot well lol

What does your OC’s name mean? Was your OC given their name because of its meaning?
#schaeler's first name is marvin and it was sort of given to him bc of the meaning and sort of bc i thought it was funny#canonically his name was absolutely given to him on purpose with the meaning in mind by his parents#''sea fortress'' or ''one from the sea''#he was born on a boat#dallas' name is actually scottish lol which makes no sense but i wasn't rly thinking about it when i named him#something about a well in a field#giovanni is the italian form of john#which means ''god is gracious''#again i didn't give it to him for the meaning it was just the name he came with#matthew's is another biblical name that means ''gift of god''#i did give matthew a biblical name on purpose obviously#tbh when i name my characters i just kind of let them sit for a while until a name floats up that suits them#i put a lot more thought into their surnames
