Shard-verse Character Questions

Taken from my tumblr, which is pretty much abandoned now. Prompts from various character tumblrs.

Your OC has just been thrown out of a window. How did they get into that situation and did they deserve it?

The White Knight – fighting one of the name criminals, and no. Wild Rush – fighting the White Knight, and absolutely

Has your character ever believed someone they met was actually an alien?

Technically, anybody who has met Lenxoli!Swordcat* has met an alien

* (if you’re not familiar with fan jargon, an exclamation point is used to differentiate between different versions of characters. (https://fanlore.org/wiki/!). In this case, it’d be the sword part of Swordcat instead of the human part (Leon).

What’s the least attractive feature of your OC’s personality?

Wild Rush is pretty much heartless.

Daisy is overly trusting and refuses to see people’s (especially Wild Rush’s) bad sides

Delia has a bad temper and is super stubborn.

Gimmick is extremely selfish.

Does your OC have any interesting qualities in their voice? Such as an accent, a lisp, a tendency to say sounds wrong? Any verbal tics?

Techrat has a very flat voice without much intonation

Your OC has started a youtube channel. What type of channel is it and would it get popular?

Techrat would show how to fix old tech, everything from furbies to cell phones.

Then would come the day she’d been off her meds too long and would post a long rant about how awful humans are and how we should die out and be replaced by machines. Which would be taken down as soon as Gimmick noticed it and replaced with a vid that was just text explaining that Techrat was okay but in the hospital.

Then the cycle would start over.

#techrat does not take good care of herself #you’d never see anything but her hands #and her voice would be disguised through a vocoder #so it sounds slightly robotic

How does your OC handle grief?

Delia: apparently by locking herself in a room, making a superhero suit, and beating up criminals

What is a quality or feature you have that you /always/ end up projecting onto your OCs?

Snark

Which OC makes their own clothes?

Charles!

(It’s hard to get dresses in nems size)

Which OC takes great care when it comes to cable management, and which OC will probably suffer a painful injury from tripping over the cords that they leave everywhere?

Techrat keeps things neat, unless things are going badly and Gimmick is even more studious about it

Silver Dollar would be the one tripping

Which OC frequently forgets to take their medication?

Techrat, the poor soul

Which OC likes to be the center of attention?

Wild Rush of course!

And Jill

Which probably worked very badly when they dated

Which OC takes every precaution in order to hide their scars?

Mask, because they hurt otherwise and he’s very proud

On a wild night out on the town, which OC is the one to get drunk and which OC is the one doing damage control?

As Wild Rush gets drunker he finds men even more attractive (he’s bi) and he’s a happy drunk. I don’t think Daisy would drink much, but I can see her getting confrontational when drunk and Wild Rush actually being the one to calm her down for once, instead of the other way around.

Similar dynamic for Mick and Delia. Mick is pan and loves everybody, but usually can judge when it’s okay to make comments (he’ll flirt with everybody even if he doesn’t want to do anything). When Mick’s drunk judgement goes right out the window. Delia ends up trying to keep people from fighting with him, while he’s just grinning in joy from all the hot people around.

Which OC could fall from a two-story building and walk away like nothing happened?

Bonus: Which OC would curl up on the floor and sob if they so much as stubbed their toe?

#1 Wild Rush, Daisy, and Swordcat
#2 Techrat? Dunno

your character pretends they’re really upbeat and confident when really they’re a nervous wreck

This is Wild Rush in a nutshell

Shard-verse Art Dump

Charles and Andre back to back
(Transcript of text in the picture:)

Charles is a soft autumn. Andre is a cool winter.

Andre likes bright Hawaiian or bold patterned shirts. Think comfort. Goes for t-shirts for casual around the house wear.

Charles likes patterned shirts and stripes, but more subdued colors unless it’s super cute and femme. Loves florals. Goes for plaid flannel for comfort.

When working, they wear dark suits with shirts and ties that match Wild Rush.

Charles likes suspenders. Andre prefers belts.

Not great art, but important info

Zoom in! (I did fun things with the hatching, cuz MangaStudio gives options)

Randomisity

Woo boy. It’s been a while.

I was in the Netherlands for almost three months. It was weird, I hardly went anywhere, and I officially hate traveling.

I continue to struggle with updating the podcast on time. Because adhd and depression are terrible.

My garden is full of ripening tomatoes and lemons. Flowers are blooming.

Gardening in California is perverted.

Have a cat pic.

Livestream tomorrow

Tomorrow, I’m going to live stream as I record A Heroic Moment. It’ll be on Periscope so you can watch on Twitter or comment and ask questions during on Periscope.

I have two episodes ready to record and I’ll be finishing the Halloween script tonight.

My first harvest of 2018

Inside a kitchen sink. A small colander filled with about two dozen ripe cherry tomatoes. Around the colander are three white turnips with the stems still on.

The turnips are Oasis. I grew them last year and they’re mild and delicious

The cherry tomatoes are 100 Sweet, from a transplant. I overwintered the plant and we’ve probably got two times that many ripening.
