Excuse me while I write an essay for about... 5 to 6 characters.
Honestly probably more than that. There's a lot of my OCs that there's little parts of them that I love a loooooooot. FUnnily enough a lot of mine will end up being female as well though. I... just identify with Female characters more than male ones and writing them is even easier for me. I'm... weird as shit that's for sure. But eh... It'll take me awhile to work up my own post for this. I'll probably get it up in due time though.
For now, I'll leave this one here.
Elaine Morningsglory(( Graterras: Dream on Another Shore)): A really odd character to be honest. She's not one I probably ever would've thought of writing. On a whim and because in Graterras most stories are about people that aren't traditional heros, I decided to make a Tale about a painter. Just,,, a normal person who paints. I don't think I've ever had quite as close a connection to a character. She struggles with a lot of what I do. She, like me, is an artist. We both paint pictures, albeit, she literally does I do it with words instead. But also in our other struggles. She struggles to find a way to fit into a hostile world around her, a way I've always felt in my life when trying to well, fit in. She, struggle with what it means to create art in a world where 1000's of other are doing the same thing you are but at a more rapid pace ((and possibly, a more soulless one, selling their morals and doing work just for money rather than the art of it or because they enjoy.))
But most of all her struggles with love and what it means. Love in all it's forms, friendship, relationships, familial. We see her struggles and her triumphs with them. Maybe in small flashes but we see them all the same. She's a character that while she certainly isn't me, she echos a lot of my sentiments in what that cosmic force love is, and what it means. And, she'll always have a special place in my heart for that reason.
and here...we... go...
Ivo and Astor((Heartless Souls: Requiem of Ages Past)): These two are included together because they are intertwined. At least in my mind they are more complete together than they are apart. But it's meant to be that way. On their own they are probably a bit bland as characters but they are my favorite characters when they are together. Their dynamic is jsut... so catalyzing and interesting. To me anyway. I was a little less then subtle in this fact though. There's a reason Ivo is very heavily represented by the colour white and Astor the colour black. There's a few more things like this but they are not things I can talk about now as it would spoil stuff for Requiem. Either way, I love their interactions with each other. Probably cause it's influenced in part from one between me and a very close friend of mine. I hope that I make that very clear and that it makes them feel a lot more real as a result. ((I should stress that their relationship will probably never be romantic. It's not where I want to go with it. So, don't get your hopes up if your''re reading Requiem. It... could still happen... but I don't foresee it. However I enver know where I will wander at times.))
Snow Ashford ((Graterras in general)): Probably the pinnacle of the Ice Queen trope honestly... since she literally is one. I really need to write her full story, the one of her deeds to become an Avatar of a Goddess. She's a powerful character and one that's a great lesson in determination ((let jokes commence.)), and perseverance. Snow is one that on the forums I don't think i ever could make shine with her roles in the things she's been in. They've been mostly bit parts thus far so I never really got to show of fthe parts of her that make her awesome as hell. She is one of my fav characters though.
Emberly "Drake" Everburn: ((ANKL and Ymora's Revival and that one Fire Emblem RP.)): Look... I love Emberly. She's honestly a character I'm proud of because she's 100% the opposite of things I play in RPs, or write really. She's a feisty airhead and I loooooooove her. She overlaps with a current character I'm writing in Tempest from the Heartless Souls RP, but she stands on her own a lot better. She's jsut a fun character for me because she feels so fresh and so new.
Odin Thunderbrew((Graterras Original)): Good ol' Dad Dwarf. I loved this fella. He had such a feel good vibe to him. Honestly felt good tying him to the party and giving them a motivation. I'll be honest... ((since I'm not going to reuse the same start if I make another Graterras RP.)) that I was going to kill him off at some point to tug on some heartstrings and even more reinforce the desire for the players to get that bastard of a big bad. The Gentleman probably won't make this list since he's vastly still a mystery even to me, but yea. Odin was just such a fun Father figure. It made him... rather interesting to write.
I can probably think of a few more I'd like to write about but... I think this is good for now.
