Questions About Creating Your OCs
‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.
What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?
How did you choose their name?
In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
Is there any significance behind their hair color?
Is there any significance behind their eye color?
Is there any significance behind their height?
What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
Are they based off of you, in some way?
If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person?
Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?
If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
What is something about your OC can make you laugh?
What is something about your OC can make you cry?
Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?
What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
What is your favorite fact about your OC?
Do number 17, nerd! Do it!
Lol. Oh dear. Nissa will NEVER admit to liking corny romance novels. She knows they aren’t realistic, and often makes fun of the characters… but she’ll read them avidly. There is often one hidden in her mattress.
No one is going to ask... Butbim doing it, anyway! lol
Ask me about my OC!

The Object of My Affection 💝
chris hemsworth is like a DnD character whose class 100% does not require a high charisma stat but he put it as his highest stat anyways like “hmm I think it will be useful (:” so he just walks around as a muscle-bound brawler who can also inexplicably get anything he wants from anyone by smiling at them
I got the chance to commission the amazing @anzka. She was wonderful to work with and look at how stunning my babies came out! Thank you so much!
Mirat is (rightfully) a little concerned about what Nissa is planning. Sometimes, the Underdark seems safer than what his half-elf gf can get him into, up on the surface.
Nissa's dad leads a guild of assassins. Before that, her mother used her as a potential pick pocket. It's pretty much all she knows.
Has your character ever had an encounter with bandits, robbers, or other similar criminals?

Five gifs that describe your muse; Nissa edition. If anyone wants to do this, consider yourself tagged!
An insanely tall, hypersexual nanny with giant sword that isn't into you unless you can kick her ass.
describe your dnd characters in the worst way possible
Here's my adorable assassin babe. He's experiencing life in the surface for the first time, and kicking ass as he goes.
Thank you @vectober for the awesome work!
@briggsgotdiggs ‘s flat color com of Mirat, A Drow assassin who’s good at everything… except holding hands lmao
Tali is bisexual, Mordakai is homosexual, and Zimmie is asexual.
Do you have any OCs who are LGBT+, queer, nonbinary, etc?

I mean I SAY I love the ‘Enemies to Lovers’ trope but what I really MEAN is that I love the
‘Enemies to Resentful Allies In A Time Of Crisis to Grudging Mutual Respect to Growing Fondness Concealed By Snark to Hurtful Betrayal to Slow Reconciliation With A Greater Understanding Of Each Other to Strange But Solid Friendship to Unexpected Feelings In A Time Of Crisis to Denying Their Feelings While Growing Closer As Friends to Epiphanies Of Love In The Worst Possible Circumstances to Mutual Pining to Unbearable Sexual Tension to Lovers’
trope
My characters roll their eyes so often, I think everyone being perpetually dizzy is secretly canon.
Reblog with your most common writing cliche
I’ll go first. All my characters have a habit of Raising a Single Eyebrow.
Nissa would probably get all 52 cards into the house, given the space and quiet. She's such a little card shark, and nimble to boot!
How high would your character be able to build a house of cards?
Necromancer: Im gonna do an arcana check on the envelope… You know for danger or traps or magic or-
Bard, already opening the envelope: I got this.
DM: Yeah… You don’t got this. You’re kinda blind now…
(During In Your Heart Shall Burn)
Cullen: If we are to have a chance, let that thing hear you.
The Inquisitor, standing on the roof of the chantry: HEY FUCKFACE
les mis dnd
DM: The cart is crushing Fauchelevent. If it continues much longer, he will die.
Valjean: I want to lift the cart.
DM: … Roll strength.
Valjean: NAT 20. Plus 6.
DM: God. Okay. You start to lift the cart and inspire the townsfolk to help you. He is saved.
Javert: I ROLL INSIGHT -
I got the chance to comission the fantastic @000nullvoid for the girls. Look at my darling rogue!
When your character realizes her LI was raised in a horrible place, but he keeps arguing that it is totally “normal”.
Nissa secretly wishes she’d been born a full elf. She doesn’t like the occasional thought that she’ll be leaving behind her father and uncle. If you asked her that, though, she’d tell you hell, no.
Has your character ever wished they were a different species?
The manual would be the first thing Zimmie would look at after buying something, even over playing with the new thing. She is such a precious little nerd
Is your character the type that would read the owner’s manual to new items they receive/purchase?
