Some actually useful Questions to get to know your OC better...

↳ What’s your character’s biggest fear and how does it screw up their relationships? Are they terrified of being abandoned? Do they push people away before they can leave? Are they scared of not being enough? Or being too much?

↳ What’s something they’re stupidly passionate about, and how does it drive their entire life? Like that thing they’d fight someone over. That core belief, hobby, or dream that lowkey fuels every decision they make (even when they say it doesn’t).

↳ What’s one childhood memory they can’t shake and how did it shape the way they see the world now?

↳ What weird habits or quirks make them totally them? Do they always talk with their hands? Hum when they’re nervous? Refuse to eat foods that touch?

↳ Do they have a secret talent no one expects? Like, are they surprisingly great at card tricks? Can they play the piano at concert level but never talk about it? Bake the world’s best banana bread?

↳ How do they handle failure?

↳ Who’s had the biggest impact on their life, and why? Friend, enemy, sibling, teacher, ex?

↳ What do they believe in, deep down? Like, what’s their moral compass? What lines won’t they cross? What kind of person are they trying to be, even if they mess up along the way?

↳ Is there an item or feature they’re weirdly attached to? A necklace? A hoodie? A scar? A pair of old sneakers?

↳ Do they have recurring dreams or nightmares? And what do those dreams mean? What are they trying not to deal with while awake?

WAIT I NEED TO KNOW IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE how tall is Riley (I made Luna 5'4" to be exactly one foot shorter than O bc that's prime titty height heheheh)

Hehehehe, about 5'6"! It's about how tall I am, so I have a better idea of perspectives. 😂😂

[mind-of-icarus]

WHAT ARE RILEY'S CURRENT THOUGHTS ON THE OTHER ROS, or pick a couple who are your favorites :3 And then, if O wasn't in the picture, who'd be the runner up LOL

GIGGLING!! SO--

August. She thinks they're sweet and admires their skills! Riley understands the desire to not be in the spotlight and respects it.

Griffin. She's a fan, but she's being ✨professional✨ about it (Orion would be proud). She appreciates his understanding of the sanctity of the song writing notebook.

Victoria. Riley feels so bad for her?? Oh my god??? Seeing her and Griffin get WHIPPED by his manager while she's standing there like🧍🏻‍♀️ was certainly something that she never wants to be anywhere remotely near again. (also a bit in the "girl, get OUT OF THERE" mentality)

Sebastian. He's a good dad who's trying his best. Good on him for encouraging and supporting her. Though she wouldn't admit it, I imagine she'd be the tiniest bit envious. Also keeping it professional with him and his daughter.

Dakota. Counting them for funsies. Canonically, she didn't meet them at the party, so she doesn't have much of an opinion on them.

Now, as for the alternate RO; It would have been August! They were the second RO that I found endearing, and I really dig that they're a general cinephile! Plus, the dynamic of the MC going from dating Seven to then dating August is also something that intrigues me and sounds so tasty. :3c

"Exes!Seven to O Quinn pipeline" did you mean MY MAIN INFAMOUS RUN LMAO!!! listen there are a crazy amount of parallels between an mc who dated seven and o okay and i am not normal about it; i am capitalizing the hell out of it

anyway *chinhands* tell me about your infamous oc. anything you want

CACKLES IT'S MY MAIN RUN TOO ASHJDFKASHFJ Let's capitalize on it and go be Not Normal about it together 😌🤝The parallels are SO DAMN TASTY, ough.....

Riley "Vesper" Graves is the lead singer of the alt rock band (I'm a metal & rock enjoyer LOL), Wicked Moon!

She's exes with Seven and, after moving on, considers the ball to be in Seven's court now, though she's still (reasonably) friendly towards him and wants to be in some form of professional truce if they can't be friends. (edit: she was also 100% friends his mom) She also has a secret crush on Orion Quinn, and is in the business of trying very hard not to give him a damn heart attack. (I'm going to love Seven's inner turmoil following that revelation, if I'm honest. 😌)

As of Sept 2024 (Pre-CoGDemos migration), her only highest stats are; Kind, Ambitious, Art Driven, Cautious, Professional, and Leader.

(I also have a little scene that occasionally bounces around in my head of her having a ✨mini Breakdown™✨ in front of Orion regarding *gestures vaguely at the BotB*. 😌)

Stop shaming people for their body count

Who cares how many people she's killed so long as you love her and she looks pretty with blood on her face.

sickens me to my stomach. how dare this guy get to live my dream.

[mind-of-icarus]

the idea of standing in between a man’s legs who’s just been in a fight and is all bruised and battered while tending to his wounds …. all while his hand (a hand that is usually rough and malicious) is gently placed on the back of your thigh, just below your ass …. he’s looking at you as if you’ve hung the moon in the sky ……….. it gets me going

[mind-of-icarus]

competence gets me hot. fix my car. open a jar. kill a man. idgaf just do it well
