3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 19, 22, 24, 25, for VEN
What is your OCs fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?
In his current state? Probably his selflessness. He gives too much to people and has a hard time drawing lines if it's someone he deeply cares about. Case in point, letting Naida more or less railroad the entire family into chasing the Fountain of Youth. In his defense, Naida isn't really someone you can win fights against, but considering the dangerous nature of the voyage, one would think he should have fought against it a lot harder. I do think he's aware of it, but not in a way he can actively check, because it's a lot of him overcompensating for the way he used to be and the things he's done. So I guess a larger and probably more fatal flaw is the fact that he carries around so much guilt and does a lot in the name of reparations.
How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?
Easily, but tbh I feel this is one thing Ven shares with Kato. His morals can be bent depending on who is involved and the consequence of the situation. Ven isn't standing on moral highground in the first place, despite understanding right and wrong well enough. He certainly doesn't care enough about authority not to break rules, and as far as life or death is concerned, a life will always matter less to him if they're at odds with someone he loves. That being said, I think he's resourceful enough to find ways around making risky choices.
What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?
Also a really fun question, cuz I haven't thought about it in years LOL. Though Ven stayed mostly the same from conception, he was supposed to be a bit more "roguish" even after his Reaper years. More of the typical pirate: loose, unkempt and thieving. But he ended up being way more charitable and straightlaced than I'd initially planned, but that ironed itself out almost immediately so I don't really consider it to have been "the plan" just "what I had had in mind at some point" lmao. Now the idea of Ven sleeping around with literally anyone is goddamn baffling to me.
Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?
Every single word of his theme song, "The Balancer's Eye" by Lord Huron, but all of this:
Nothing's waiting for us in the great sky
Life is equal to dust in the Balancer's eye
Now I know that I can't lift an old curse
Tell me, how does a man change the universe?
Will I ever be forgiven for the crime of my life?
Will it haunt me till I die? To the end of time?
If you met your OC, would the two of you get along?
I think Ven is one of the few characters I can genuinely answer "yes" to this question lmao. Just because Ven is hands down the least judgmental of my OCs, not to mention packing all that charisma, he can literally talk to anyone. Although I probably would just be dead on the floor so it wouldn't be a very interesting conversation.
How does your OC behave when enraged?
We so rarely see Ven angry. Honestly, a bit like Kyrie, Ven has a quiet temper. He's good at restraining himself now, because he knows intimately well just how horrible of a person he can be, so he makes a concerted effort never to let anything get him that upset. Mostly, things don't anger him as much as he may be disappointed or saddened. There is one scene in OST:O I've had planned for years that actually showcases Ven's true anger and it is very much "silent and lethal" lmao.
What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?
Oof, I dunno, somewhere between neutral good and chaotic neutral. Hard to pinpoint lol
What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone done? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?
Oh, this one is interesting. I think Ven could have easily continued down the path he started on when he got the sight. That is, had he not been able to pull himself back from that maniacal person he'd become as consequence, he'd be unrecognizable today. That's not to say he isn't already because he absolutely was that person for a moment in time. The Reaper King wasn't just a persona, it was his entire essence. He was ruthless, violent and he did very literally kill dozens (I won't say 100s but it's up there) of people. We like to imagine him as the loving father and perfect husband he is now, but outside of maybe Elsera he's my OC with the highest bodycount. And while in a way you could justify he killed people because "they deserved to die" he was never in the right to pass that judgement. Had he not eventually woken up from that state of trauma and derangement, he'd still be a completely unstable murderous lunatic .-.
What is your favorite thing about your OC?
How hot he is. The end.

「Amidst the Clearing in the Rain」 - Rindou
Ignite A Noise who? Don't know her-
After a whole year of playing I finally have Rindou's initial 5* fully bloomed :D
pt. 1
Rindou
Are you headed home? It suddenly started raining, so please be careful.
Do you have an umbrella? I can lend you an umbrella if you’d like.
MC
Wouldn’t it be troubling for Rindou-san?
Rindou
I’m fine. My house is nearby, so it’s easy to run.
More importantly, I’m more concerned about you catching a cold.
MC
I’ll be sure to be careful.
Thank you.
Rindou
Ah, I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve intruded too much.
My family has always been prone to catching colds.
I’m sorry. Please, just be careful.
MC
Then, shouldn’t Rindou-san be careful as well?
Rindou
I’ve always been quite healthy, so I’ll be fine.
Besides, I don’t dislike the rain.
You could say I like looking at it.
It feels like everything is being washed away.
Though it is a bit silly to let your emotions be swayed by the weather like this...
I feel like the truth is very close to this, surprisingly.
You can’t go against nature.
Ah, I’m sorry. I got in your way.
If my umbrella is alright with you, it’s in Unei’s office.
If you ever need it, please just take it.
Well then, please take care. See you tomorrow.
pt. 2
Rindou
When it rained yesterday, were you alright?
It suddenly stopped as I was about to head home.
However, when I left the store, it started pouring again.
It caught me a bit off guard.
I ran as fast as I could because my house was just nearby, but when I arrived my clothes were soaked heavily.
MC
Are you alright?
Rindou
I’m alright. I’m a very healthy person.
(coughs)
MC
...You’re not okay.
Rindou
I’m alright.
MC
Please don’t overdo it.
Rindou
Fufu, this is quite refreshing.
In Starless, you’re responsible for your own physical condition.
Because we fulfil a variety of roles, even an understudy needs t be able to stand on their own.
If you're unable to stand on the change, they'll change the starting line up without hesitation.
So, I don’t have time to get sick.
(coughs)
MC
Rindou-san...?
Rindou
I think it’s a bit dusty in here.
I’ll be sure to clean up later.
(dancing)
….Huh, where did I leave my water bottle?
MC
Ah, isn’t it this here? Here you go.
Rindou
Thank you very much. I’ll go grab it.
Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hold on to your hand.
MC
Your fingers were very warm.
Do you perhaps have a fever?
Rindou
(angry) I don’t. I’m fine.
Rindou
(calms down)
...I’ve caused you to worry.
I’m sorry, but I really am alright.
I will return to the lesson. Please watch over me if you’d like.
MC
...You’re alright, huh.
pt. 3
Rindou
(looking around) It...It should be around here somewhere....
MC
Rindou-san? Are you reall okay?
You've looked pale even before you went to take a break...
Rindou
(shocked)
...Ah, apologies, you caught me off guard. It seems I've scared you as well.
I've been looking for something, but it looks like I'll just have to ask Un'ei later.
I'll go back to my lessons. You should also-
(collapses)
MC
Rindou-san!? Are you okay?
Rindou
Sorry...I'm just a bit...
MC
You have a fever, don't you?
Please take a seat and relax.
Rindou
Un'ei-kun should have cold medicine, so I thought of looking just for that...
MC
I'll look for you.
Please just sit down.
Rindou
I'm sorry, I'm troubling you again...
I'm always so helpless...
MC
Hm?
Rindou
It's nothing.
(MC hands over the cold medicine to Rindou)
Rindou
I'm sorry to bother you, but the cold medicine really helps.
I'm grateful to Un'ei-kun for having a medicine box ready.
...Break time is almost over. I was just in time.
MC
This doesn't work immediately, though? So why don't you just rest for the day?
Rindou
It's alright. Sitting down made me feel a little better.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.
And one more thing...can you please keep this a secret from the others?
MC
But...
Rindou
If I'm not in my best, I will be disqualified from being out top.
I don't want anyone else to know about this.
MC
D-disqualified...
Rindou
I won't forgive myself if that were to happen.
I don't want to be taken away from the stage.
...Hah, it looks like it'll rain heavily tonight as well.
MC
(Rindou-san...)
pt. 4
(backstage, a rearrangement of Niji no Kanata E plays in the bg)
Rindou
Welcome, MC-san. I'm glad you could make it to the show.
MC
Uh, are you alright now?
Rindou
Fufu, I'm alright now. There's no need to worry.
The cold is our little secret, okay?
MC
Please just don't overowrk yourself, okay?
Rindou
That's right...I don't want to show you such an unsightly view.
MC
That's not what I meant...
Rindou
I should really be careful, because I don't want you to be so worried over me.
It's embarassing to be seen so weak like that...
But, it made me a bit happy. Thank you so much for worrying for me so unconditionally.
If you ever got a cold, I should be the first one to know.
I'm sure you'll be worried over it, but please let me take care of you as well.
MC
I hope it doesn't ever get to that.
Rindou
Speaking of rain, are you alright? It rained a bit a while ago in the morning.
MC
I was fine. Did Rindou-san get drenched this time?
Rindou
I had an umbrella with me today, but before I knew it, the rain stopped, and suddenly...
Between the buildings, I was able to see a rainbow.
It had been a while since I last saw one, so I was really happy to see it.
I wish you were there. I wanted the two of us to see it together.
I wonder what you would have said at that moment.
I really can't hate the rain. The atmosphere during it is so nice.
It feels like everything will be washed away as well.
It's not good to be so easily swayed by the weather, despite having rain or not...
But, if I'm able to see such a beautiful rainbow at the end, then I'll be happy.
Like being able to see you smile.
You're going to watch the show, aren't you? Please, I want you to keep your eyes on me.
Please, only look at me, okay?
