OC Smash or Pass

Well, well, this one finally came around to me haha I was tagged by @noblebs here! Thanks so much!

Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

Quick Facts

Height: 6ft

Age: 35

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/Her (but expects to be addressed as "Sir")

Sexuality: Bi

Pros

Top. Always, no questions asked. (Unless you're Wilkes then she'll bottom if she's feeling generous lol)

Likes a pretty face.

Spontaneous! She likes to just pick up and go so you'll always be on your toes.

Likes to stargaze, especially on the deck of her ship.

If she trusts you, she becomes very soft and pouty.

She gets cold super easily so if you offer cuddles, esp in the morning, you won't be able to get rid of her.

Cons

She'd more likely use you to her own ends rather than involve herself with you romantically. Will not hesitate to use you as her fall guy or throw you under the bus to save herself.

Commitment phobe. If she even gets a WHIFF of you wanting a long term thing with her, she's out.

Is extremely violent. Seriously, she will bite you and not in a nice way.

Power hungry. She will expect to get her way at all times.

Has extensive trauma that she refuses to deal with and will fall into destructive habits.

Temperamental and combative. Her love language is getting into arguments/shouting matches.

PROPOGANDA: honestly you shouldn’t fuck him he’s a terrible person. BUT he’s hot—consider that.

bad tempered, will spit on you, has no interest in getting to know you unless you manage to spark the fire on his special annoyance meter then he’ll hate you forever and ever amen. if he tolerates you consider yourself lucky.

but like he’s hot— *🔫🔫*

also he is a top so. do with this information what you will.

Thanks @garthcelyn for the tag!

Rules: self-explanatory, but include physical descriptions and propaganda for both and an "other" option (for those whose sexualities don't align or wanting to study under a microscope or something)

Ok most of my characters are underaged or barely 18 so I'm choosing the most relevant oldest character for this

Also apologies in advance for me being asexual and trying my best.

Description

48 years old trans woman (she/her)

Brown skin - mostly Arab* descent with some Spanish* background

Amber-gold eyes

5'5

Lesbian

Curvy, what some would call thick

Wears wire-thin glasses and a hijab; usually professional clothing with muted colors

She's obsessive over... Not great things. Trying to uphold the legacy of someone she cared about to a self-destructive extreme.

A "by any means necessary" kind of person

Comes across extremely cold, harsh, distant, and rude

However is loyal to an extreme many couldn't find possible

She's a total bottom for anyone who cares

Hates depending on others but she does depend on a close platonic friend rip

She considers organization her only hobby

Impatient if someone isn't Doing Things How They're Supposed To Be Done

Bad with children. Like awful.

Blames herself when it's literally not her fault???

The kind of person who hates giving into emotion but she's the most emotionally compromised character in the whole series

OPINIONATED - she hates any kind of brainstorming it just stresses her out

High standards

Hates change but will accept it...not without an emotional reaction that she claims isn't emotional

Wants to be secure but she's never felt that in her life

All of the above makes her angry and annoyed 99% of the time

Are you into that? I dunno I'm ace. I'd like to study her, thank you.

I was tagged by @writernopal (here)! Thank you so much for this fun Tag! I think I might do a few of these for my OCs, because I adore this tag game (:

Augustus Grimmure

Description (I haven't completed his character art yet): Augustus is a tall young man with dark skin and long, curly ashen brown hair - which he usually styles into a very neat ponytail with a purple ribbon. He has hazel eyes that can glow red or purple depending on which magic he uses. Augustus usually wears a long dapper suit/coat (in the colors of either white, dark purple, green, or charcoal black), along with a silk ruffle tie and other Victorian-style clothing, he also has dark circles under his eyes and may wear gloves from time to time. Has a sharp smile. He is heavily near-sighted and often wears spectacles/glasses (when possible) reinforced by magic - which might be because I wanted a glass-wearing protagonist in this book because I personally can't see shite without my glasses IRL (:

Basic Facts:

Height - 6 ft (around 1.80m)

Age - 19, soon to be 20

Gender - Male

Pronouns - He/Him

Occupation: Necromancer

Sexuality - An extremely hot, very romantic, Asexual straight man

Pros:

HUGGER! Once he's grown to love you that is. Augustus loves to show how much he cares by holding hands, cuddling, running hands through your hair, and (especially) hugging. He wants a relationship to be something special.

Augustus is very brave, and it takes a lot to faze him, especially since he is one of the most powerful beings in Ansburke, but even if he weren't he doesn't hesitate to face risks if it means doing something he considers right - especially when it comes to protecting the one he loves.

Dark Academia aesthetic (more like Chaotic Academia lmao) incarnate, and very gothic-coded. A romance with him has strong Gomez/Morticia vibes (this is legit the best way I could describe it), it's all about finding love in the dark and even macabre. He's also hopelessly devoted, and quite the romantic underneath his chaotic exterior.

Intelligent and witty, with a wild sense of humor. Will not hesitate to pull a carefully thought-out prank on someone if it makes you both laugh. Is also known for his clever comebacks, especially to those who already have it coming.

A good listener. Even if he is not particularly interested in whatever it is you are talking about, he will lend you his attention and let you finish your vent, however long it may be. He's also very good at problem-solving, having a scholar's mindset.

Neutral Facts (that may be pros or cons to some):

Augustus is somewhat inspired by the story of Victor Frankenstein (this character was born of the question I once asked myself - "What if Frankenstein wasn't insane and was a sorcerer instead of a scientist?"). This means he inherits a bit of a mad scientist's disregard for rules and tradition.

He doesn't enjoy sexual intimacy or acts of that nature at all, even though he isn't particularly sex-repulsed - he's asexual, and personally just finds sex a useless and slightly disturbing waste of time. That doesn't mean he doesn't like other kinds of intimacy - as mentioned before, once he gets truly close to someone, he's quite the hugger. (Btw, his love languages are Quality Time and (non-sexual) Physical Touch.)

Cons:

Has severe trust issues. While on the surface Augustus has a very personable and polite behavior towards anyone that doesn't personally irk him (when he isn't feeling particularly petty), he believes that "everyone is out to achieve their own personal goals at all costs" and that in their cutthroat world, everyone is looking to get the upper hand on someone else, so the walls around his heart (beyond a superficially friendly relationship) are quite tall and armored. He would never betray someone who trusts him but is constantly expecting to be personally betrayed. It takes a lot to prove that you truly care for him with no strings attached, but it is worth it when you finally do!

Extended lifespan - while it means no human can truly kill him (whilst he is under the constraints of his contract to the Deathbringer, a fae demon he made a deal with) during your adventures, it also means that you, a human, will eventually get older much quicker than him and die long before him - unless he's broken his Oath, which would return his lifespan back to a normal human's.

Does have a bit of morbid/dark humor natural to any necromancer so, while it can lead to funny and slightly unhinged interactions, he doesn't quite understand why some people consider his deathly jokes as inappropriate (even though he means no harm, that's just his sense humor and how he views te world).

His devotion has a "dark side" (to him) that comes out in the form of self-sacrificial tendencies and will fight Gods if prompted, with no second thoughts about his own safety, if it means keeping the select few people he trusts away from harm. Has no qualms about killing his enemies to achieve that as well.

OC SMASH OR PASS

rules: include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda

Propaganda: Ino is a troubled teenager that grew into a closed off and mistrustful man. His brutal honesty and dark sense of humour are slightly off-putting, but he is a sensitive person who can read others easily. He is devoted to his family and whomever he accepts. If he dislikes you, you will know, but if he finds you attractive, you will feel the full force of his charm and seduction skills.

Pros:

ʙʀɪɴɢs ᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇsᴛ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜ. ino is not really a gentleman per se. he will challenge you. he will push you. and he won’t stop until you realize you just how far you can go.

ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ʙʀɪʙᴇ ʜɪᴍ ᴡɪᴛʜ ғᴏᴏᴅ. this man is always hungry and there is nothing he won’t do for a snack. 

ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴋɪssᴇʀ. ino is a very sensual lover with superb sense of taste and smell. make out sessions with him will go on and on until your knees give out.

ʜᴏɴᴇsᴛ. only the truth or silence comes out of his mouth. he is incapable of sugarcoating things. therefore, he sometimes appears crude or even vulgar.

ᴜɴғʟᴀᴘᴘᴀʙʟᴇ. there is an air of coolness around him that is rather contagious. there is no panic, no stress around him. ino is level-headed and won’t get mad easily. but when he does… ᴀʟʟ ʜᴇʟʟ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋs ʟᴏᴏsᴇ.

ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ʟɪsᴛᴇɴᴇʀ. ino doesn’t like to talk. but he knows which questions to ask and he can read between the lines like a proper psychotherapist. 

Cons:

ᴅᴏᴇsɴ’ᴛ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴍɪᴛ. and he tells you that right away. for wolcheks it’s perfectly normal to engage into a sexual relationship first and then gradually get to know their partner - or not. ino prefers to keep it purely physical. 

ᴏʙsᴇssᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀsᴛ. there is an unsolved event that he is fixated on. he’ll even go as far as hurting others that get in his way.

ᴏғᴛᴇɴ ᴅɪsᴛᴀɴᴛ. initially, ino appears cold and uninterested. which is only partially true. you have to prove you’re worthy of his attention.

ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴇᴛɪᴛɪᴠᴇ. the only thing he is openly passionate about (aside from food and sex) is winning. he will never cheat, but he will push himself to the limits just so he can have that smug look on his face. 

ᴍɪsᴛʀᴜsᴛғᴜʟ. it’s not an easy feat befriending ino. but he has a very good bad reason for that.

Here's your goth mommy of my characters I suppose. This is Kichi and she is over 700 and a human who was raised to godhood after death because of how many she healed as a human in life. Many people revered her for some time, yet as the lines of those people and the stories faded she ended up as a sort of lost god. She's still a healer, but her blood magic domain will also harm as well. Whatever is needed by her subjects. She has mastery of blood magic. Though she blinded herself in life she can sense even better as a goddess. Probably can assess every little thing that makes you tick.

for your consideration: Prince Sorrow! Zashi infernii mercenary, sparkly man, rampant bisexual, and flamboyant nuisance. He's five foot nine of delicious purple demon-man with broken horns and trauma (they're capped in gold, for Statement Reasons). He speaks four languages, does his own makeup, and if he's wearing a shirt fastened all the way something is very very wrong.

He likes to fuck with rich people while taking their money to do their dirty work, has a mercenary guild full of loyal, slightly feral, mostly queer idiots (affectionate). He's very physically affectionate, if a little emotionally guarded, and poly as fuck.

I'm doing this for Noah from November Breaks and Spin Cylinder...

In my head, Noah (mid-40s in November Breaks and late-40s in Spin Cylinder) looks like a taller, beefier Sir Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He can go from magnetically charming to fucking terrifying in the time it takes someone to get in his way and back again in the time it takes him to kill them.

He'll make you the best coffee you've ever had, but you'll have to listen to him talk about it in a LOT of detail while he's making it. It's best to pretend to be interested, so just stare at him appreciatively and nod every now and then. It's OK, he's pretty easy to look at.

He will compulsively clean your house just so he doesn't have to look at the mess and he has excellent taste in home decor. He'll also hang up the clothes you keep leaving over that chair in the bedroom (whether you want him to or not).

He'll cook for you and it'll taste amazing every time. He's wildly generous because money means nothing to him and he likes to be surrounded by luxury and comfort. He has serious style and it always looks effortless, even though it's actually very intentional. Everything about him is very intentional because he has hardcore control issues, but shh. We don't talk about that.

You'll have to put up with his persistent mid-life crisis, the way he never really manages to quit smoking, and that little habit of murdering people...but his coat is gorgeous and his car is always spotless, so he's got that going for him.

Axtapor Rehteus Oxlo of Ihama

Left art by https://twitter.com/Azraels_Art Right art by @illjustpretend

Quick Facts

Height: 6ft 5in

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: The most bi straight guy you will ever meet

Pros

Perpetually horny and also experimental because he likes to figure out what makes you tick 😇

Loves giving gifts, lavish ones especially, but only if its what you want.

Fiercely protective but not domineering. Personal freedom is very important for him and he'd never want to infringe on it. (unless you're his enemy then he doesn't care lol)

Very tactile. He likes being able to touch the person he's with. (to remind himself being with you is real WAAAHHH!)

DEVOTED! When he falls for someone, he falls HARD. He will never shut up about you, you are the best thing since the wheel and sliced bread.

Resourceful. Seriously if you get marooned or stranded somewhere he's the one you want to be stuck with. He regularly goes bushcraft camping so he knows all the survivalist tricks!

Cons

Smokes like a chimney and smells like one too.

Kickable. Constantly making sexual innuendos, flirts at inopportune times, has lame pick up lines, gives you blue steel out of nowhere, you get the idea.

Loses interest very quickly, so keeping him around long term is kind of tough unless he's taken by you from the get go.

Himbo. He's got about six braincells so you'd better hope he can rub them together long enough to decide he should not do the stupid thing he thought was a good idea five minutes ago.

Gets VERY angsty when he's upset. He's also very self-deprecating in this state and has a propensity to drink himself blind when he's at his lowest.

Falls off the face of the planet when things get too overwhelming. His first instinct is to get away from everything so he might just be gone if you come around looking for him one day.

Elias Mavven (from Of Starlight and Beasts)

Description: Elias is a tall young man with sun-tanned skin from his years at sea, and long, sand-blond hair (there is always a braid on his hair, no matter if the rest of it is untied or in a ponytail). His eyes are dark brown. Elias wears a white puff-sleeve shirt, with black trousers, and leather booths, with purple and gold fabric bands around his waist as a makeshift belt - he may or may not occasionally wear a long pastel blue overcoat with intricate embroidering (his attire is very pirate-coded, which, given that he is a pirate, is not surprising). He wears a lot of jewelry, including many rings, two necklaces and golden bracelets - most notably, Elias wears either a choker-style necklace or a fabric bandana at all times (for backstory/spoiler reasons). He is very handsome - caring a lot about his appearance and making sure he makes a powerful impression. He also has some tattoos that he is very proud of - usually in the color blue (especially turquoise), and usually either sea-themed or star/moon-themed. Is rather cocky and confident, though he has an overwhelmingly mysterious, secretive vibe.

Basic Facts:

Height - 6,3 ft

Age - 24

Gender - Male

Pronouns - He/Him

Occupation - Pirate Captain (a former aspiring sailor for their kingdom's Royal Navy)

Sexuality - Homosexual

OC Soundtrack - Elias Mavven OC Playlist

Pros -

Will absolutely make sure you take care of yourself - self-care is a very important thing for him - and will not let you spiral too far into negative/self-deprecating self-talk. Is the "mother friend" of the group, subtly, without being overwhelming - he knows how to give people space while also telling them the truths they need to hear, and absolutely loves using humor to cheer up his friends and crew.

The fun-loving life of the party - due to his confident personality (and partially due to his reputation, which impresses people and makes him beloved by most common folk), people usually gravitate to him in social settings. He knows how to have a good time in any situation - be it at a rowdy party in a tavern or while sailing the high seas - to him, any moment is an invitation to live life to the fullest and have fun.

Is very good at cooking, (though terrible at baking lmao), and knows how to perfectly make a variety of rare dishes and adores spicy food - though sometimes his taste when it comes to "how much spicy" can be a bit too much for most.

Elias is a very talented fighter and knows how to win most fights with ease - and in an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world such as the setting of this novel, these talents often come in handy (and are often life-saving). Although he is one of the best fighters in the realm - in both land and sea - he prefers to solve things diplomatically/through deals and only resorts to fighting as a last resort.

Cares a lot. He makes emotional connections quickly, though he'd hate to admit it, and cares a lot about the well-being of his friends and crew. If he is in love with someone, that tendency creases tenfold, and he will try to make sure that person stays as happy and safe as can be. He is very romantic, in unusual ways, and is more loyal than he gives himself credit for. The well being of his friends and crew are always his priority.

Determined, brave, and witty. Elias has enough determination to last two lifetimes and is not someone to give up on things easily, while also being willing to take risks (both in battle and in normal daily life) without much hesitation. One of his greatest strengths also includes being a great team worker and leader. If you're adventuring together, you would definitely be quite the power couple - unbeatable together, while incredibly soft and in sync with each other.

Badass - knows how to make quite an impression, and is a master at "dramatic entrance", very little fazes him, and he usually remains calm, unstressed, and chill even in the middle of chaotic or potentially stressful situations. If an enemy is actually dreadful enough to manage to get this easygoing, smooth-talking, calm pirate to lose his temper/patience, then they will need one heck of a lot of good luck, because they've just unleashed a tidal wave that will crush them after this feat (as the saying goes, "fear the wrath of a good man").

Normally, he is very carefree, funny, and relaxed - to the point of being slightly reckless. He definitely is the definition of YOLO ("you only live once") in all the best possible ways. Despite this, he knows when to be serious and responsible, especially if it comes to dangerous situations.

Knows a lot of constellations and the stories/tales behind them, and loves to show off this knowledge to someone he cares about. He also has an extensive array of knowledge about sea monsters and the like, a knowledge mostly comprised of encounters that did not go so well.

Neutral Facts -

Elias is the oldest (adoptive) brother to two younger siblings, and it was just the "three of them against the world" for a really long time during his childhood and teen years. This has affected greatly his view of the world and has created some walls when it comes to trusting strangers (he's a bit distrusting/jaded).

His love languages are Quality Time and Receiving Giving Gifts. He likes to make every moment count and make things as memorable as he can in any given moment but also loves simple moments of daily intimacy and love.

Dramatic - likes to put on a show/make a scene. If he wants the last cookie in the cookie jar he will make you reconsider your life choices with how pouty and dramatic he can get to achieve said cookie. The same applies to most situations.

Uses unusual/rare swear words, in the very select occasions he actually swears.

Cons:

Bottles up and internalizes his emotions/feelings like nobody else in the world. He will definitely deflect any questions about how he is truly feeling, when he is upset, with the classic "[chuckle] I'm fine!". Given that he has some serious trauma in his past, this is just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode - and when (not if) those feelings do resurface, it definitely won't be a nice time for him (a panic attack is bound to happen, and most likely in the worst moment possible for it to happen).

Can get "carried away" during battles/fights, like he is in a fighting trance, especially if his enemy has done something to truly piss him off. While this means absolutely no danger for his friends and crew, it does mean he'll become dangerously more reckless (a.k.a. he'll likely get a serious wound and keep fighting like it's just another Tuesday, until he either passes out or someone stops him) and dig himself into a metaphorical hole by provoking more and more enemies.

Wants to handle things by himself all of the time, and has a hard time accepting that even he sometimes needs help.

Gets defensive/temperamental about his past when someone bluntly tries to find out more about it or unintentionally triggers him, which can get him in a really bad mood/sad (which he deals with by isolating himself in his quarters until he's back to his cheery self again).

OC SMASH OR PASS

rules: include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda

Propaganda: Vid is half human, half zmaj (rain dragon in Slavic mythology). He was born with superhuman strength but kind and forgiving heart. He is a blacksmith in the village he was born in, but he is also eternally indebted to Viogor family and can be summoned by them in the time of need. As every zmajevit, he is a very romantic and an exceptional lover.

Pros:

ɢᴇɴᴛʟᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴏᴜs. vid is courteous and calm, shy, and very fond of human and animals and would do anything to help others.

ᴀᴍᴀᴢɪɴɢ ʟᴏᴠᴇʀ. something that comes as second nature to zmajevits. having a ribbed penis also helps.

ʜᴀʟғ-ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ. this includes being over 2m tall, beefy and super strong. he is a protector and brings good luck. possibly can summon rain and turn into actual dragon I'm still brainstorming this lol

ʟᴏᴠᴇs ᴍᴜsɪᴄ. he appreciates fine arts and plays the flute. can sing but is too shy to sing in front of others. 

ᴅᴇᴠᴏᴛᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʜɪs ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ ᴀɴᴅ ғʀɪᴇɴᴅs. if vid likes you, he will love you full-heartedly, he will do anything to you and put you in front of anything else. even if that might hurt him.

ʜᴏᴘᴇʟᴇss ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴛɪᴄ. firmly believes in love and good. he is pansexual and has a huge heart with a lot of love to give.

Cons:

ʟᴏʏᴀʟ ᴛᴏ ᴀ ғᴀᴜʟᴛ. being devoted to his loved ones has its bad sides. he lacks critical thinking and he will stubbornly ignore the red flags.

ɴᴀɪᴠᴇ. he is a himbo and tends to trust people easily. he's been used more times he can count, but has no intention to change and still has faith in human kindness.

ᴄʀʏʙᴀʙʏ. breaks down easily. he is sensitive and has hard time accepting hardships of life.

ғᴏʟʟᴏᴡᴇʀ. vid has no leadership skills. he best works as support and let's others make choices.

ʜᴇᴀʀᴛʟᴇss? vid has been in many relationships but none of them worked out. his partners end up hurt and breaking up with him. but there's nothing vid can do about it.

OC Smash or Pass

rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but have a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc) Tagged by @vacantgodling so gonna put up a bunch of these for all the arts I have! Which... is just for Arigale characters for now sadly.

Given what I know about Tumblr and my readers this is gonna be a sweep. Yani is a god of life and death and the singular god known and worshiped in Arigale, and he plans to keep it that way. Yani is deadly and dangerous wrapped up in something delicate and diaphanous looking that behaves gently. He lulls one into a false sense of security and has an almost loving way of speaking to someone he's trying to manipulate. The manner of a predatory plant. He's beautiful despite that beauty being very fragile as it is firmly present one moment and them melts and decays away so easily. A scent lingers about him of death and spices that only just cover it enough. He is very confident and tenacious. Scared or turned on by him it's your call.
