#wip: spacewip

[charlesjosephwrites]

I've been wanting to introduce my side project on here, so I thought it would be fun to drop a comic sans intro. Like I said, it's mostly just vibes right now, but I really like this world I've been building, and I'm super hyped to share it with y'all.

I'll be dropping a proper wip intro for this at some point in the future, but for now if y'all wanna know more, feel free to shoot me an ask!

OC Interview Tag

Thanks for the tag @space-writes!

I've been wanting to introduce some of the characters from my side project spacewip, and this is the perfect excuse to do just that.

So, here's my favorite shapeshifting alien Zaph (any pronouns)!

Are you named after anyone?

My given name has been passed down to the eldest child in my mother's family every generation for longer than anyone can remember. That name doesn't translate well into Earth, so I took some letters from your alphabet that sounded cool together to give myself an Earth name.

When was the last time you cried?

I am not sure I've ever cried. I do not usually have tear ducts.

Do you have kids?

I am not quite at the age of maturity yet. It feels way too to even think about having kids.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I do not know what that is. Is that an Earth thing?

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

The greetings they use. I have made friends of many different species, but no matter where they are from, you can tell a lot about them based on how formally or informally they choose to greet you upon your first meeting.

What’s your eye color?

I can have any eye color I want. I am particularly fond of shades of red.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Scary stories are so much more interesting to me. I find most happy endings boring and predictable.

Any special talents?

I am the first in my family to be fluent in Earth! I love your language. It has so many interesting sounds.

Where were you born?

The name of my homeworld is a bit difficult to transcribe into Earth, but I believe you might call it Logi (pronounced low-gee). It is only a few light hours away from Earth.

Do you have any pets?

My father has quite an extensive collection of creatures from other planets he keeps as pets, but I've never been fond of the practice. I do not understand the appeal of stealing a creature from their natural habitat and keeping them in your home.

What sort of sports do you play?

I have not had the opportunity to play any of your sports, but I am quite intrigued by the one you call "baseball."

How tall are you?

It varies depending on my mood, but I am rarely shorter than seven feet tall. Being too short tends to leave me feeling uncomfortable and exposed.

What was your favorite subject in school?

I have always been fond of learning new languages. I have a particular fondness for Earth and Raptor.

What is your dream job?

Ideally, I would rather not have any job. My people expected me to uphold an absurd amount of responsibility ever since I was a young child. Now that I am free from all that, I would like to stay free.

I'll (softly) tag @oh-no-another-idea, @bardicbeetle, @tales-and-thoughts, @guessillcallitart, and anyone else who sees this and wants to play along to interview their characters.
