OC Meme, stolen from Beachfox
16 years ago
General
1) First, list all your OCs by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OCs:
Are you freaking kidding me? Alllll your wonderful OCs? I don't think I could even begin to list -all- of them. So, like
Beachfox, I'll just drop the first eight that come to mind. Or maybe nine. Or twelve. I'm leaving some of the better ones, but dead giveaways, off the list:
1. JD (your friendly neighborhood rottweiler/pitbull sadist and fox aficionado)
2. DP (AKA, the daddy puma)
3. Doctor Tokorov (your friendly neighborhood homicidal experimental physician-vulpine)
4. Ambrose (medieval equine Milanese merchant/notary)
5. Jordan (AKA the fratshark)
6. Feliks (the bomb-throwing 1930s-vintage samizdat-writing anarchist otter)
7. Sequins (gay unicorn heeeeyyyyy)
8. Vasuki (a different college naga)
9. Jed (raccoon garbage collector)
10. Wendell (frenetic 1970s-vintage jaguar teen)
2) Who is your favorite OC?
That's a tough one. They're all my babies, all my creations, so I love them all. I think Doctor Tokorov is the most terrifying one to try to put my head into, because he's abjectly sociopathic. JD is fun just because he's so gleefully lustful and mean in a way that's... harmonious maybe? Ambrose is trippy because he's really erudite, and I try for him to feel "witty", though that's hard to do with constructs. If I had to pick one of them to hang out with, it'd be either Sequins or Jed, though. Sequins is a walking party, and Jed understands the value of a good beer.
3) Who is your least favorite?
Vasuki. Because nagas who're extra naga-ey are lame. If you can powergame putting people under with your very eyes you're pushing perilously close to "fuck you, I'm a dragon" territory.
4) Who is your most developed?
By definition, if I bother to create a character, it'll end up with a name, a milieu, some family members, some friends, some likes and dislikes, some idiosyncrasies, some deviations, and maybe a boyfriend or three. I think they're all pretty much well-developed... if I can't feel what a character feels, can't think of what they'd want to do, or what they'd eat, or where they'd like to hang out, then by definition, they won't end up developed as a character. That said, I've had JD around the longest, and it's because of him and some other fortuitous circumstances that I ended up with my fox, so I'd guess if I -had- to pick one, it'd be him.
5) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?
Three girls, who aren't on the list above. Boy OCs? Probably fifty, sixty. If you've kicked around on Tapestries, you've probably run into me in one form or another. It OCs? None. Hermaphroditic things suck. Androgynous or tomboyish characters are cool, and so also are sexless things, but when I think "It", I think hermaphroditic, and thus furries who need therapy.
6) If you were stuck in a burning building, what do you think the third OC on your list would do?
Doctor Tokorov would've set the building on fire, and trapped me inside it, so he could see what effects the materials in the room in which I was locked would have on my skin, to determine what to use in his next experiment around grafting technology. Or he'd be enjoying a glass of Tokaj and watching the beauty of the play of flames on broken glass, and getting a feel for the tonality of the screams of the occupants. He's not a nice fellow, particularly.
7) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.
I regret never finishing the stories that Ambrose, Feliks, and Wendell were in. I'm hoping to finish Wendell's this month during vacation. It's just raw strokefic, but Wendell is adorable, and I think he deserves a little time on the stage.
8) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of your OCs and why?
Sequins, hands down. Sure, he's a stripper, and a sometimes rentguy, but he's got a heart of gold, and has enough money to do the job right, and he's all about opportunity, freedom, and love. He would MORTIFY YOU at parent/teacher conferences or open houses, but he would also beat a path to the ends of the earth to do anything to help a child in his care, and would be unfailingly, excessively supportive. He would be happiest if his got to be the best, biggest, most fabulous P-FLAG chapter in the lower-48, but even if he had a straight child, it wouldn't matter.
Which of course means his ungrateful shit of a child would probably ditch college and hate him and leave him in tears and sadness.. but that's okay... because he'd always know he'd done his best.
9) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?
Feliks will serve time in Siberia, repeatedly, before being executed by a Stalinist firing squad in 1952 after a 20 year run of chaos-causing. JD got "scared straight" as a youngster. He did two years in juvie for what he did to his old man, but that record is sealed now. All in the past. Doctor Tokorov is commandant of a medical facility in the Kazakh steppes; it doesn't count as being in jail, if you're experimenting on convicts.
10) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!
I'm going to strike "eighth" and substitute ninth. Jed will be a sanitation engineer, OF THE FUTURE! It's what he does.
11) Name the first OC's catch phrase!
JD: I figure we can do this one of two ways, homes: Either your blood on my knife, or your shit on my dick. ... ...That's what I thought.
12) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?
All separated. Many of my OCs live in the Beachfoxverse as well. There's a fair amount of crossover.
13) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list?
Not really. DP and Wendell once were at Fire Island the same time in 1979, but were roaming through different bushes.
14) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?
Sequins: Thank -GOD-. Boy! You gotta get your ass in the -gym-, sugar. I mean, really. Love yourself a little. Ain't nothin' wrong with a little belly, but boy, you got it goin' -on-. You can do better. C'mon now and give me some sugar, yeah?
15) Your fourth OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?
Ambrose: Signor Tedeschi needs the books closed and there are silks coming in that must be catalogued, and there's the Petrarch to be read and.. ... and... oh. Ooh. The duke's having one of those visits and.. I wonder whether castrati are as passionate as their tone?
16) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?
From the Random Thingy Chooser at # 8. Vasuki. Fucking naga. I can't avoid the piece of shit.
17) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.
Vasuki: No I'm not. Don't even fucking patronize me. If you want to jump off the building, that's fine mammal. I'm going to take the elevator.
18) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?
JD's already gone. DP's just checking out your ass and nodding. Doctor Tokorov finds such discussions irrelevant, as they're fundamentally pointless, given that we are all naught but our biological composition. Just molecules. As such he's admiring the play of the blood vessels at your temples, and contemplating the handsome shape of your skull. Ambrose has things to do, but the inherent intellectual exercise of humanistic questions like this is potentially interesting. Jordan is just checking our your ass and nodding. Feliks doesn't believe that bourgeois pursuits like these have relevance. Sequins is hanging on your every word, though he won't admit that it's just to be courteous, since he'd rather dance. Vasuki is just checking out your ass and nodding. Also thinking about how your mammal fat will contribute to his superior naga physique. Jed's out in the truck, drinking a beer. He'll be waiting for you when you're done. Wendell: "What?"
19) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?
DP: The beach, without question. He has houses in Miami and San Diego for that very reason.
20) Would your 5th OC battle a shark?
My fifth is a shark.
21) Which OCs hate each other?
They don't really exist in the same continuum, but if they did:
JD, hates them all, save for Jed, who's an okay fellah for a drink, Sequins, who's an easy hottie, and Wendell, who squeals.
DP is everyone's buddy. But especially Wendell's, because he squeals.
Doctor T. is clinically interested in everyone. Tissue is tissue.
Ambrose is amiable. Especially if you're up on your vulgar latin poetry, and commerce.
Jordan pretends to be everyone's buddy. But hates those he can't eat.
Feliks hates everyone who is not a comrade in his struggle for liberation of the individual.
Sequins is everyone's buddy. And knows that deep down, JD's got a -little- bottom in him.
Vasuki has grudging respect for Jordan, and desperate, terrified fear of Doctor T., because foxes shouldn't be that evil. Otherwise, the rest of them are food. Especially Wendell. Who squeals.
Jed's everybody's buddy. With beer.
Wendell: What!? Oh. Sorry.
22) Which OC did you create first? And last?
I created Berthold, who's not listed here, first. He belongs to the same continuum as Ambrose. I created Jed most recently.
23) If seven and three got into a fight, who would win?
Sequins and Doctor Tokorov. Mm. Tough one. If Doctor T. got the tranquilizer into Sequins first, it would be messy and bloody, but chances would still not be -entirely- in his favor. If Doctor T. didn't get the tranquilizer into Sequins first? He'd be a vulpine grease spot. There are some things you just don't _DO_ to other people, y'know?
24) What're your first 2 OC's favorite foods?
JD: Steak, extra rare. Thick cut steak fries and overcooked green beans.
DP: Protein shakes, brown rice, toast when he's watching himself. Sauteed foie gras with fresh greens, warm oysters with a tomato vinaigrette, toasted slices of baguette when he's treating himself. Braunschweiger on toast and coca-cola when he's angry with himself.
25) If your listed OCs were in a fight to the death, who would emerge victorious?
JD, DP, and Sequins would wipe the floor with the rest and go out for beer afterwards; of the three of them, if they had to fight, I'm not sure who would win. Jed would ditch before the fight started.
26) There's a zombie attack and your OCs are stranded. Who do they elect to be their leader?
Feliks would do something stupid and idealistic and get thrown to the zombies. Doctor T. would have even odds of finding a cure, or infecting the others. DP and JD are pretty practical. They'd probably end up running the show.
27) During said zombie attack, who's the first to die?
Feliks, if he's an ass. Vasuki, if he's an ass. Wendell, if he's in ADD mode again.
28) Which one of these OCs do you think would have the most fangirls/boys?
Sequins. Who doesn't love gay unicorn beef? Though knowing the shit for brains that most people have, probably Doctor T.
29) Okay, so does OC number four have any last thoughts?
...you.... you have books? ... Everywhere? All... knowledge? In a .... you.... *zips off to googlegasm* -- With an infinity of classics available, free of charge, he would be all too happy to bury himself in the Latin and Greek classics, and occasionally come up for air, and to ask for paper for his writings.
30) If possible, what're your characters' heights? (All for human-shaped forms)
1. JD: 6'2"
2. DP: 6'4"
3. Doctor Tokorov: 5'1"
4. Ambrose: 6' even (tall for his time period, but nothing special presently)
5. Jordan: 6'6"
6. Feliks: 5'7" - a little sickly
7. Sequins: 6'6"
8. Vasuki: He's an anaconda-naga. No good human equivalent.
9. Jed: 5'10"
10. Wendell: 5'9"
31) Can your characters dance?
1. JD: Yup.
2. DP: When the mood hits.
3. Doctor Tokorov: ...?
4. Ambrose: Any courtly gentleman can dance.
5. Jordan: Spring break, bitches! Yeah!
6. Feliks: ....
7. Sequins: Gay unicorn. Heeeey.
8. Vasuki: With a rocking body like mine? Yeah!
9. Jed: Nope.
10. Wendell: Hustle!

The phrase developed among the fanfiction.net end of the internet to distinguish which characters you came up with, and which you stole from whatever TV show you were dry humping at the moment.
Now I am enlightened.
Most of the characters I work with have very thin fuzzy veneer, too. Because we are all human, the societal and sociological constructs that would come of different species wiring are hard to really "feel".
Sequins might be my favorite on this list.
