1-J for whoever your newest OC is.

GeezAnon, you really know how to show a girl a good time. I guess I have to do Whisper the Abyssal Tiefling Sorceress, since you asked sonicely and I guess she is my newest character period. 

QUESTIONS FOR YOUR OCs

1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sitstill with nothing to do?

Whisper tries so hard to be patient,she really does, because the person she’s pretending to be is infinitely patient.But she gets antsy and bored very quickly. Unless she’s waiting with a specificgoal in mind, it’s like a few minutes before she starts shifting in her seat orpacing, or falling asleep. If she’s got a reason she’s waiting though, she canusually sit there much, much longer.

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?

Very. Whether it’s a real laugh or afake one though is a toss-up.

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading,singing, thinking?)

Thinking, definitely. She startsremembering home and wondering how everyone there is doing. She probably endsup praying to her god to watch over them before finally drifting off.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Not easy at all. She’s been told thather god’s enemies are everywhere, so she never fully lets her guard down withanyone outside her sect. There’s people whose motives she understands, peoplewho she trusts to an extent, but only a handful she trusts completely.

5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust?

Very easy. Especially since she’slooking for reasons not to trust you. 

6.  Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

Flexible. You can get away withanything if you know how.

 7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoythat feeling?

 Snow, probably. Great bodies ofwater. Castles and the like. It used to be a very painful feeling, and it isstill, to an extent, but after 8 years from home she welcomes it every now andagain.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as achild?

 She was often told to stop botheringthe servants, and, when she got older, sneaking out of the castle. And she was toldto get back to her studies quite a lot (she hated sitting still, so getting herto study anything except her magic was almost painful for her—even her catechismsweren’t as important as actually doing something).

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Not often? Not unless she’s doing itfor a reason. Or if things are really going wrong. And her first swear word was probably “shit,” right after hearing her olderbrother say it.

10.  What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does ithaunt them?

Whisper lies about everything, downto her name and her past and stuff she knows. And it never bothers her, because she’s doing it toprotect her family.

11.  How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretendthey understand, etc)?

It depends on what is most useful atthe time. If she really needs to know something, she’ll seek clarification andquestion someone until she’s (more) blue in the face. If she’s not interested,she’ll pretend to understand.

12.  How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’tquite reach?

 That’s what mage hand is for.

13.  What color do they think they look best in? Do they actuallylook best in that color?

Well, her skin is a deep indigo, soshe usually goes for cool colors, purples and greens, or stark white to offsether skin and match her hair. Once in a while she’ll go for a rich yellow, butonly if she’s trying to draw more attention to herself—she thinks she pulls itoff quite well.

14.  What animal do they fear most?

She’s not a fan of horses, but shecan tolerate them. I think she’s more freaked out by rats. There’s always somany of them, and they’re not afraid of running up and biting you. She probablyhad a few run ins with them in the castle dungeons. 

15.  How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of onthe spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

She used to just burst out withwhatever was on her mind, but she’s since she left home become a lot more circumspect. She’llthink about something before she speaks to make sure it doesn’t give too muchaway now.

16.  What makes their stomach turn?

Not much. She’s used to corpses andweird rituals as her normal.

17.  Are they easily embarrassed?

I think she laughs off most anything,but there are a few things that hit her.

18.  What embarrasses them?

She really doesn’t like it whenpeople draw attention to how she looks. She tries to be brazen about it, walkthrough the world like she doesn’t look any differently, but she does getslightly embarrassed still when people stare and point at her out on thestreet.

19.  What is their favorite number? 9.

20.  If they were asked to explain the difference betweenromantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?

She wouldn’t. She’d turn thequestion around and make them answer.

21.  Why do they get up in the morning? 

Because she has a mission. Hergoddess isn’t going to resurrect herself!

22.  How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they becomepossessive, they become aloof, etc)? 

She’s not usually jealous of people?Like she doesn’t get close enough to people to be jealous of them spending timewith other people or something. But I think she would become aloof andreactionary—like she’s not feeling jealous, why would you ever think she wasfeeling jealous that’s not a thing.

23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what theywant, they become resentful, etc)? 

She didn’t want for a lot when shewas a child, but once she left, stealing really became a thing. So she’d tryand take it if she really wanted it that badly.

24.  Is sex something that they’re comfortable speakingabout? To whom? 

In general, she tries to pretend she’scomfortable with anything. It’s expected, after all, she looks demonic, so she’sthought to be up for anything, so she will talk about it like she knows 100%what’s up whenever it’s brought up. But in reality, she’s like a 17-year-oldboy who is trying to impress his friends. She’s never had sex and she has onlythe vaguest anatomical ideas of what sex is and why people want it.

25. What are their thoughts on marriage? 

That it’s a thing you do for dutyand to further your family line, and that she was too special to be forced intoit.  

26. What is their preferred mode of transportation? Sailing.

27. What causes them to feel dread?

 Dry desert places probably.

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasanttruth? 

The unpleasant truth.

29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals? 

She mostly lives up to them, or shetries to. The “church” she was raised in as pretty screwed up ideals though compared to the rest of the world.

30.   Who do they most regret meeting? 

I think there are some towns she regrets going to, but no one in particular sheregrets meeting. Yet.

31.  Who are they the most glad to have met? 

Outside of her family and the otherpeople in the castle, probably Ignatius and the rest of the “circus” she joinedafter leaving her family.

32.  Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or ajoke? 

I don’t think so. She always changesit up, and they’re probably all fake.

33. Could they be considered lazy? 

 No, she’s pretty active. 

34.  How hard is it for them to shake a sense ofguilt? 

She doesn’t feel guilty very often.She’s basically been raised to think whatever she has to do in service of hergod is justified, so there’s not a lot that she regrets or feels guilty about.

35. How do they treat the things their friends come tothem excited about? Are they supportive?

Oh, definitely. She’d get superexcited about it too.

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it tofall into their lap?

She does not seek romance out, shethinks she’s got more important stuff to concentrate on. But she did read a lotof like sweeping adventure novels as a child, so she does get crushes a lot,she just doesn’t act on them. And even if one fell into her lap, I don’t thinkshe’d let herself reciprocate.

37.  Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists ofnumbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, puttingthings to melodies, etc)?

She would probably have little songsshe sings under her breath.

38.  What memory do they revisit the most often? 

She has a lot she revisits. Basically,anything of her memories from home, spending time with her brothers before heryounger brother got sick, running around the catacombs with the servant’schildren, sneaking out of the castle with her brothers to explore the woods inthe middle of the night. The rites her family and their circle preformed. But the thing she revisits the most is leaving the castle. Her brother Eamon—herapparently human brother, whose eyes shine just a little strangely in directlight, grabbing her on the shoulders and telling her that he was going to makesure to bring her back as soon as the danger has passed.It’s been 8 years. She hasn’t seen him since.

39.  How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?

She actually doesn’t want to ignore them. Flaws are a thingshe can exploit or play with should she need to. If she notices it, shedefinitely takes note.

40.  How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

 I don’t think she’s very cognizantof her personality flaws tbh.

41.  How do they feel about children?

She loves children. She doesn’t particularlywant one, but she thinks they’re wonderful. She’s just shy of interacting withthem, because of how she looks and she doesn’t want to draw the ire of theirparents.  

42. How badly do they want to reach their end goal? 

Very, very badly. It’s what she’sbeen raised for, what her entire family line has been working for. It’s herdestiny.

43.  If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how wouldthey do so?

She would either go into superdetail about who she’s attracted to and what she likes (even though she hasabsolutely no idea) or she would just shrug.  

QUESTIONS FOR CREATORS

A) Why are you excited about thischaracter?Because her point of view is so strange. She was raised in a cult, man, and she’strying to resurrect a god that is probably not a god anymore, if they ever werea god and not just some demon who is playing with a bunch of humans. Basically she’s primed to bring about an apocalypse by accident, and I am superexcited about it.

B) What inspired you to create them?

To be quite honest? Strix from Dice Camera Action.That whole thing with her aunt and that creepy cult in her basement, and theaunt hinting that Strix’s teiflingness is from deals they made with dark powerssounded super cool. So I just took that and ran with it.

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where theyfit in their own story?

Her story built around her race/class build and theabove kernel, so she fits into her own story pretty well. Figuring out herpersonality was difficult though. And it does fluctuate.

D) Have they always had the same physicalappearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

She’s always looked the same in my head: indigo skin,white hair and eyes, black ram’s horns, sharp incisors, barbed tail.

E) Are they someone you would get along with?Would they get along with you?

She tries to get along with everyone, if only as adefense mechanism. She’s actually very sweet in my head, very sunny. At leastshe was when she was younger, and I think if I could get past her mistrust,then we could be pretty good friends.

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC(pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

Excitement. I can’t wait to see how her story rollsout.

G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

Her mistrust of everyone is going to be a hurdle, and I don’t like being at odds with the party. But it’sin her best interest to at least pretend to get along with them, so hopefullythat won’t be too much of a problem.

H) What trait do you admire most?

Her drive. She’s away from her family and the peopleshe cares about, in a world that distrusts her or at least looks at her strangely,and while it would be easy for her to just return home, she doesn’t feel likeshe can. She has a goal and an inner compass pointing the way (which isprobably a very Wrong Way to go, but still), and she’s going to get there.  

I) Do you prefer to keep them in their canonuniverse?

I mean, I might import her into my books. We’ll seehow it goes and if I need a good patsy-slash-villain.

J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canonfactors to allow them to create their character?

I mean I had to create afew, but I don’t think I had to exclude anything.
