Introducing my new OC!
8 years ago
That’s right, ladies, gents, and everything in between, we’ve got a new character! Introducing…
Gino the Goat!
Joining Hodge and Basch in their inter-universal adventures, Gino first met them in a land called Toliacchia, the first time leaving his native Spain, and teamed up with them to fight everyone’s Shadow selves using the power of Personas! Hodge and Basch stayed in that world a lot longer than usual, and Basch found himself falling for Gino, and since Hodge was okay with it, Gino became his #2. Eventually, Hodge and Basch had to leave, but they’d never forget each other.
After living life full of adventures, to the age of 95, Gino died of a heart attack at sea, nearing the end of his journey to retrieve the last of the Seven Lost Pearls of Atlantis, and turned down heaven to adventure with Hodge and Basch again. Heaven, in order to be a place of perfect happiness, makes its inhabitants forget about everyone who isn’t there, and Gino just couldn’t bring himself to join that. Which means, essentially, his departed loved ones don’t even remember him.
Now, Gino is back in his 25 year old self’s body, questing with Hodge and Basch forevermore.
To introduce him, I decided to use a modified version of the old character meme, with Hodge and Basch being present, too.
Character picked: Gino Capra
1. What is your name?
Wahaha! “Who is this dashing, sexy billy,” you ask yourself! Who is this righter of wrongs, champion of chivalry, wooer of women (and men)?! I am the terror that bleats in the night! I am the sunny-side-up eggs you get when you clearly asked for scrambled! I am El Capro Estupendo! *lightning crack*
Your name, kid, they want your name.
Ah. My name’s Eugenio Capra Garcia, but you can call me Gino!
2. Do you know why you were named that?
It just rolls off the tongue, man.
3. Single or taken?
Ha ha, no such thing as a “taken” goat, my friend! “Taken” just means I have the most amazing man ever for a boyfriend.
The rest can join the harem. Just sign on the dotted line, and give me your soul!
4. Have any abilities or powers?
I am a man of many talents! Acrobatic, great dancer, a monster in bed, and, so Hodge says, a real green thumb! Shall I go on?
How about the ability to invariably find the most amazingly stupid thing to do, then do it?
I only got stuck at the top of the Sears Tower that ONE TIME!
[color=cyan]It’s amazin’ you even got up there.
We goats have our ways.
5. Favorite food
Does Basch’s-
[color=orange]I already said that one about Hodge.
Dammit. Well, joking aside, I love watermelon!
6. What's your eye color?
That alluring yellow the ladies (and men! And men who dress like ladies!) love.
7. How about hair color?
White, all over me.
The curtain matches the drapes, is what he’s saying.
Well, you’d know, Mr. Interior Decorator! *snicker*
Kiiiid…
Look, the minute you started dating me was when you turned in your straight-acting card.
Entirely worth it.
8. Have you any family members?
My parents, my brother, my grandparents… Yeah, I’ve got a few.
Aren't they all dead by now, though?
You had to bring that up, didn't you.
Sorry.
9. Oh? How about pets?
I’ve seen people have pets. To be honest, as an anthro, keeping someone else’s feral counterpart is kind of odd to me. It’d be kind of funny if I had a pet goat, though.
No thanks. I clean up enough goat hair as it is.
10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Ladybirds. Little bastards infested my house once, and I couldn’t sleep for all their pinching!
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Climbing! With or without gear! It's what we goats were born to do! Also, parkoooour!
He’s pretty much Sonic the Hedgegoat.
I also do fencing, and, yes, martial arts. I’ve kinda had a thing for beating people up since I was a kid. They never laughed at my Cinderella lunchbox again! Urban exploration’s a hobby all three of us share, and I help out in the garden.
When you ain’t eatin’ half th’ plants.
Nobody grows ‘em like you, babe.
Well… you ain’t wrong! ;)
This one’s my favorite. *holds up a potted venus fly trap* I call her Venice.
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Violence won’t solve all your problems… but it works for me pretty often. *punches his palm, grinning*
Was punchin’ that one Jehovah’s Witness really necessary?
I like to tell myself it was.
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Nah, but I have seen firsthand what it does to your head. It’s not pretty. Basch and I always have to debone any meat Hodge cooks while he's not there to listen, so we don't risk having a bone snap around him. Personally, I hate touching meat at all, but Hodge is worth it.
14. Sum yourself up in one quote.
"Well, it seemed like a good idea!"
15. Name your worst habits.
[color=green]Rushing into situations without thinking, resorting to violence too easily, and, yes, promiscuity. I'm just a dirty old goat, man.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
I always looked up to brother Leo. He was utterly amazing, always had such confidence, always sneaking off with me to do some crazy thing together, usually had at least one woman or man hanging off him. Pretty much taught me everything I know. You think I'm a fiend in bed, he was way better.
Dare I ask how you know that last detail?
We were closer than most! *grin*
A-yup, I'm scarred forever, now.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Extreme Omnisexual.
I remember when you made eyes at those giant tarantulas. And then followed through with it.
I can’t help it, man! Those legs, those pinchers, those eyes… *squeezes himself*
18. Where do you live?
SHIT! They’re after me! Tell the kids I love them! *pchooo!*
Huh-? WHAT KIDS?! Get back here, you goober! *laughs*
19. What's your theme song?
Hodge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLcXXz01Tn8
Basch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYfeEARUcB8
Gino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FkOt2TI1GU
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Is grass green? Is water wet? Do bears-
Kid, please.
Yes, I’ve got one.
A completely true statement. <3
21. What are you most afraid of?
Pagans. You know what they do to us goats!
22. What do you usually wear?
Lots of pink makeup on my nose, a cute pink bow, pink nail polish, a polo shirt, pink-and-black striped legwarmers (to cover up the massive scar I got from that time my leg nearly got torn all the way off) and short-shorts. I’ve never killed anyone, but you know I’m dressed for it! *wink*
23. What kind of present would you want for your birthday?
Aw, shucks, you don’ have to get me anything! Still, if you insist, somethin’ handmade.
Funny you say that! I made you a sweater from my shed fur. I know it’s not the best…
∑(O_O;) A sweater for what, a shoggoth?
Basch, please. I love it, Gino.
As for me, I'll just have a nice tasty treat; I’d want a big cake, with one or both of you popping out of it.
Wouldn’ that make it too hairy to eat?
Who said I’d be eating the cake? *licks upper lip*
Oh, you. *bashful grin*
24. Drink?
Yes. I'm partial to a Bellini cocktail, although anything sweet and fruity will do.
You mean like you?
Yes, exactly.
25. Conventions??
Basch takes me to a few. I’m a natural for Asriel!
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Middle.
27. How many friends do you have?
How many particles of air have you breathed?
He's not kidding. Everywhere we go, there's always at least one time where he goes "AAAAA!" like a girl, and glomps some old friend of his.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
That Hodge’s is the best, hands down.
Evidently! I take my eye off you for one second, and the whole pie is gone before I can even get a slice.
30. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Whichever ones Hodge lets us keep.
I ain’t that big a pillow hog, am I?
You are, honey, but I don’t care. I’ve got you to lie on. <3
And I’ve got you, Basch.
31. What's your favorite place?
Wherever Hodge and Basch are.
Oh, you! *hugs the goat*
*bleats contentedly*
32. Are you interested in anyone~?
All of you.
33. What colour are your beans?
Why don't you come here and find out?
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Either or! Although there was that one time I had to punch out a shark.
35. What's your type?
Basch. ;)
36. Any fetishes?
I've got a thing for really rough play.
Every time we have sex, before we get into it, he always, always shouts “ARE YOU READY?! ARE YOU READY?! LET’S GET IT ON!” to get in the mood.
37. Fly or walk?
Man, I WISH I could fly!
I remember the time you tried to pull a Daedalus with actual bird feathers. Jesus fuck, kid, what were you thinking?
That it’d be fun.
38. Camping or indoors?
Camping! Ah, the good old days of roasting marshmallows, singing campfire songs, and getting wasted off a six pack of beer your brother brought with him. Best childhood. <3 Not to mention, it's how I met my first boyfriend; he was lurking outside my tent, and I ended up kicking him in the schnoz. He was a werewolf living in hiding. I still miss him.
39. You’re suddenly on an adventure! Where do you go, and what do you do?
Travelin’ th’ world in search o’ th’ Five Sacred Herbs that, when combined, will create th’ Ultimate Breakfast Tea!
In the isle of Nippon, there is a mountain known as Yagiyama, where a temple said to contain the legendary blade Kusayagi-no-Tsurugi is said to lie, yet no one who enters the temple in search of it has ever lived to tell the tale. It is said that only one of Miyamoto Yagi’s line can claim the treasure within. I am the one destined to retrieve it.
Kid, how the hell could you be descended from Japanese goats? You’re a Spaniard.
My family line gets around.
Whaaaatever, kid.
40. You’re going into battle/on a mission! What song is your anthem?
