I have not had the time to really keep up w social media lately but I did enter V into @sonic-oc-showdown so I’m throwing together a post about him for anyone who hasn’t seen him before. Sege linked me a list of questions for an ask game so I’m going to answer those under the cut.
He also has a toyhouse page, which is a little out of date, but very lightly touches some darker topics (some medical and medical experimentation themes, mentions of drug use, mentions of trauma, violence and mental illness). V is a long-time comfort character which also means he has suffered so much bc that’s how we roll sometimes.

(Legitimately could not choose which pictures to include so I included a lot of them. sorry. I love them all so much. If you’re not following these wonderful artists already you should be!)
✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?
“Agent” bc he works for GUN, “VX” bc it’s the name of a nerve agent. It is also a subtle pun. You’re welcome.
🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Current-day V is 35 years old, but as a riftclaw he’d fall into the 18-21 age group (adult, still kinda dumb and impulsive).
🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?
V is poly and is dating several people at once. He’s married to Caprice for legal reasons, but the whole of the polycule encompasses them and Curie, Valke and Luka, w V having a couple casual partners not involved in the main polycule (Atos [for now], Chad, Neura).
🍕 - What is their favorite food?
V doesn’t really like to eat and kinda treats it as an unfortunate necessity of continuing to live.
💼 - What do they do for a living?
V works for GUN in a weird in-between position; on paper he’s a field agent but he ends up doing multiple different jobs especially if there’s gaps that need filling. At the moment he’s acting medical examiner while they find someone qualified enough to handle the weirder cases that come through GUN’s HQ.
🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?
He buries himself in work a good 95% of the time but he sure loves to play minecraft. He’s banned himself from videogames bc he knows if he plays more than one he’ll never get anything done again.
🎯 -What do they do best?
V’s main strength is that he’s stubborn as hell and willing to smack his head against something repeatedly until he wins. His whole side goal is developing a cure for a genetic illness that’s present in his clan and despite this seeming impossible he has been pushing his way through an insane amount of study while also holding down his GUN job in order to eventually do that.
🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
He loves learning about new horrible poisons and diseases, which is one of his favourite pastimes. He also loves spending time w his datemates/packmates (two different things). He hates being told what to do so anything he’s being commanded to do is something he hates in that moment. Hilarious.
❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?
The first time he got to hold his son again after giving him up for adoption shortly after he was born. That Muna’s new parents wanted him to still have some kind of relationship with him was an unexpected joy for him.
✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?
There’s this whole 6-month period of his life where he was “working” for Glory he does not like to remember at all.
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
No but it’s still very close. The main changes were removing the spines on the tail and adding the big triangular eye markings.
🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?
Thorny devil lizards + horrible poisons I was reading about as a teen. Then I watched Repo! The Genetic Opera and you can probably see where I got his outfit from if you know anything about it.
🌂 - What genre do they belong in?
Whatever genre you’d assign an edgier sonic game like SA2 or ShTH.
💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?
I call him genderfluid and alloaro (+ bi/pan) although he doesn’t really ID as either in-universe. His perception of his own gender tends to change a lot, and “he” is just the easiest pronoun to use when you work with humans a lot.
🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?
He was raised as an only child; he has a half-sister who lives in a different world and has adopted a few of his alternate selves + their siblings.
🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?
His relationships w his mum and grandpa (the parents who raised him) are quite positive; he visits them at least once a year during the big gathering the clan holds in June. His relationship with his father is terrible and he’s threatened to kill the guy at least twice.
🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?
This one is difficult to answer bc I’ve been rotating him constantly in my mind for 10+ years now. I like drawing him and writing about him and also thinking about what’s going on in his mind. Also I project a lot on him. That’s fun.
✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?
Extremely but I never finish writing. I draw him more than anyone else atm.
💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
No, bc it’s funny if the guy who doesn’t really wanna survive lives forever.
💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?
He has a general fear of losing his control of his self, which is specifically triggered by Glory’s mind control powers but applies more broadly to having his autonomy restricted.
🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
Glory is V’s biggest adversary and basically like, his end boss. He has a couple smaller opponents (couple guys in the UF military structure, Ossein) to go through first though.
🎓 - How long have you had the OC?/ 🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?
Since I was 17 or so, so about 16-17 years. We’re old!

Caper drunk must be very cute! I mean he loves Sparrow so much!! I bet he would be all over her, smuching and cuddling her all day.
Caper: Spaaarrrrrrowwwww~~~! I loveee you!!! So~~~ much!!!!! Did I tell you that?!?!?!
Sparrow, looking fondly at him: jejejeje, yeah you told me that every day
But now genuinely: what type of drunk would be Caper? And how would he get drunk? Was it a bet? A dare? Or just a night with Sparrow? And did he ends up liking the alcoholic drink?
Tarrows gets fed up with dealing with all of this shit sober so as any proper slavic adult she decides it's time to turn to the roots n goes figure out how to make smth light n then Also Vodka
Euros would be, yeah, the overly affectionate emotional drunk- one second he's giggling like stupid over smth, then he's leaning against a wall flirting with Sparrows, trying to get her number as if they haven't married centuries ago and then he's nose diving into his chest to cry his eyes out cuz he remembered all those years he spent without her thinking he's alone for good and "oh gods Sph... i love you so much i'mgh -sob- i'm never letting you out of mh.. armbs uhhhhuhh" and at the end of All THat he falls asleep curled up into her bubbling up a storm
as for how- c'mon, this man got people to surgically staple a hooha n a peepee to him, he's here to live n try stuff out. Sparrows drinks it n seems to like it, what more incentive could he possibly need yanno
