home is where i want to be (but i guess i'm already there) by percivaljackson (3/3 | 57,751 | M)

“Annabeth panic-lied to her step-mom about being in a quote ‘stable and emotionally available’ relationship, and now she has to bring her imaginary lover home for New Year’s,” Piper explains, bringing her hands up behind her head and looking thoroughly amused. Jason nods, like this is a totally average occurrence. “You should bring Percy.” “That’s what I said,” Leo interjects. Annabeth buries her face in her hands.

Jumbo OC Asks! Char - 💋📙💙; Ranna - 🍒⭐🔮; Cutter- 🌹🍐🌀;

💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?

Char is actually very affectionate, but casually so. As the party has seen, this appears as gestures first, as an extension of looking out for people. She does favors for friends. She adds habits to her day-to-day for them. Physical affection follows much later, and it's similarly frequent but understated. Clapping shoulders, ruffling hair, even giving quick hugs.

She's not emotionally closed off, but she doesn't often stop to be sentimental, either. If asked, she'd be honest about how she feels. But you might have to ask.

📙 What kind of subjects (of conversation, of discussion, in school or whatever) does your OC find interesting or engaging or that they can talk for hours about? What kind of stuff do they just find fun? What things bore your OC to tears and they couldn’t care less about? Why?

Char likes work talk. Unfortunate but true. Weapons especially—she could compare make, accuracy, ideal situations, and so on all day long. She also likes swapping stories with different people and hearing about places she's never been. She's from Yora and she's had a limited career, you know?

Twalan interests her immensely, even if what she's learning right now isn't encouraging. But ironically, I think hearing about etiquette and house politics would put her in a coma.

💙 What did your OC want to be when they grew up and why? Did they have any lifelong dreams or ambitions they never got to work on or are they currently working to achieve this dream? Has their life taken a very unexpected turn and put all these plans on hold for a while or have they given up on any dreams?

Listen. Let's be real. Char's dream was to be A Tiefling With a Cool Well-Paying Job That People Respect. This is because she came from an immigrant fishing village, which she found very boring, in a country where people are sort of :/ about tieflings. In any other story, she'd be the heroine, because she had such a typical "I was meant for more than this" youth.

She achieved that dream very young, by all appearances, although it wasn't in the most moral fashion. Later, life did take a very unexpected turn, and all of that vanished. The recognition of her talents, the fear and respect, the horns.

She's getting closer to that dream again, in a much much slower but better way. She works for herself; she does what she's good at. The silver lining of limbo is that she goes barefoot again, with her tail out. Who gives a shit if she's a tiefling anymore? And hey, the party is getting paid just fine!

🍒 What kind of things do they expect from their relationships? Does this differ between platonic relationships and romantic ones? Is your OC “demanding” or a door mat? What kinds of things do people expect from them in a relationship?

Oh, Olaranna. Her disbelief that she could ever be part of a fairytale romance versus her refusal to accept anything less than love that swallows her whole. Lucky for her that she feels so deeply.

Ranna shows every sign of being demanding: loud, opinionated, strictly honorable. And to be fair, she is demanding on two points: from anyone she accepts into her life, be they friend or lover, she wants loyalty and honesty. It's what she offers in greatest abundance, after all. She wants to know that someone will stand with her; and if at some point they won't, she'd at least like to know that, too, and why.

With friends, she's otherwise flexible. She loves to be helpful! She argues ferociously, but she capitulates far easier than it seems. (Espeeeecially for a significant other, ohoho.) As we know, what she truly falls for in a romantic sense is heroism.

I think a lot of people, well-meaning or not, have expected mostly cheering and entertainment out of Ranna. She's an obnoxious bard, after all. She's here to lighten the mood and boost morale.

⭐ What is your OC afraid of? Any crippling phobias or some such? How do they act when scared and what helps them calm down? Does anyone ever find your OC scary? Why?

Oh, Ranna would have you believe she's utterly fearless. But we all know that's simply not true. She fears losing the people she cares about, of course; every adventurer feels that one. On a deeper level, she's afraid of her own cowardice and inadequacy. It's why she's always being so LOUD about courage and facing challenges and what have you. She's afraid she's going to do something—or fail to do something—that she'll never be able to reconcile with her principles about herself.

I wouldn't say anyone's finds Ranna inherently frightening. Maybe... very alarming.

🔮 Star gazing or cloud watching? Hand-holding or snuggles? Early mornings or late nights?

Cloud watching for the sun elf! Hand-holding, I think, as she's very expressive with her hands and mysteriously keeps grabbing Ori's. And Ranna can easily do both early mornings and late nights. Sleep whomst?

🌹 How easy is it for them to connect with others and make friends? On the flip side how easy is it for them to make an enemy of someone? Are they the kind of person who hangs around the food table at a party and never talks to anyone or are they the type who can talk to anyone?

The thing you have to understand is that Cutter does not care about making friends. It's a happy surprise when someone has the good taste to appreciate him.

On the other hand, it's very easy for him to make enemies, and it's also a fun hobby. People are so sensitive. Maybe if they were better at things they wouldn't have to get so offended.

🍐 What is your OC’s mentality? Are they overall positive? Negative? A bit of both? Describe their thought patterns and reasoning behind their choice making!

I would call Cutter's mentality very... focused. It's positively gleeful when he gets his way, and mournfully glum when he's personally inconvenienced. He's a surgical robot built for a single purpose. He has found personal fulfilment in frightening people also. Those are the two things he's after and how he makes his decisions.

🌀 Where is your OC from? Where were they born? Do they still live there, if not why did they move? If they still live in the area how has it changed since their childhood? How many places has your OC lived in and where has been their favourite?

You caught me; I'm not sure exactly where Cutter was made. I can tell you that he was a hospital surgeon, but the organic staff found him deeply off-putting. He has the bedside manner of a vulture whom you owe money. The hospital probably sold him off for cheap, which dearly insulted his pride. He's worth at least ten times that much! Ingrates!

non frustra vixi by Aramley, meretricula (1/1 | 6,630 | NR:T)

In 2008, the previously all-women St. Hilda's College at Oxford began admitting men. In 2009, classics afficionado, rowing prodigy, and all-around posh bastard Alexander Macedon decided his new ambition was to join his best friend at Hilda's and start a men's rowing dynasty.

Do any of your character have to hide a part of themselves? Why?

Most famously, my current D&D 5e character, a tiefling ranger, had to hide her name and race. She broke off her horns, hid her tail and hooves, and went by Char. She's back to hoofing it barefoot and letting her tail loose, but horns are slower to grow back. And how does one grow back into an old name? More on this at eleven.

As to why, our artificer guessed, "Char, did you kill someone?" and got the most awkward mirthless laugh in response. Safe to say that murder plays a role in her concealment.

I am also writing a necromancer who dyes her hair and moves around a lot (and steers clear of the blessing range of priests). She didn't choose her powers, and they aren't pleasant for her. But try explaining that one to the authorities.

I'm excited to one day revamp the start to the Space Mage story. We have two lads on the run there: a black hole fae who's just trying to get his adopted child a normal life, and an imperial prince who's narrowly escaped a coup with his life.

Do you have a favourite character? If so, why are they your favourite?

After years and years, Hage remains close to my heart. I can't say exactly why. I did give him the worst life. Speaking of characters who have to hide, no one can know that Hage even exists, because that would start an interstellar war. So the safest thing to do would be to get rid of him. But. Unfortunately. The man in charge of that decision is his dad. So he gets to hide in a well-stocked facility and read and play checkers.
