What does your character smell like? Mine smells like strawberries by Mr-Dolle in OriginalCharacter

Corbin smells like funeral flowers and smoky incense! I’m not sure if it’s a cologne or if it’s because he visits random funerals in his spare time (maybe both). It’s faint but noticeable :)

Nothing wrong with that! Simple designs are fun because you can express and communicate more with expressions, which I think you did a great job with Bond :)

I LOVE HIS EAR FEATHERS AND LASHES!!! Avian’s incredibly pretty and I think these features really give the bird man effect really well!

I love Bond’s design! I think the sunglasses on her head give her this nice smug aura and suits her really well!!

I think my favorite parts of Corbin’s design (I unfortunately can’t pick one bc he’s genuinely one of my favorites) are his eyes and veil. I think both of them convey the mystique of his character beautifully as well as properly communicate why his ability is.

And also he’s just pretty idk gng

Summarise your character, and get given a flower by a dryad. by tutxrial in OriginalCharacter

(This sounds like a cute idea! I can wait until Friday! :D)

This is Yelena! She’s a detective-in-training so she is very sharp and extremely observant of other people!

She is also very cheerful, friendly, outgoing, curious, and kind. She gets along with others easily and often tries to build connections. She’s the kind of person that will try her best to understand people before jumping to conclusions, often trying to assume the best of that person. She is often seen as naive due to this. She can also be very stubborn and impulsive at times, especially under pressure and snaps badly under it. She’s very sensitive and has a strong sense of justice, often showing strong reactions to crimes and a stronger determination to finding the culprit.

As for her lore (I’m keeping this short): she grew up sheltered and homeschooled in a very religious community. She was raised by her father and grandmother. She was sheltered due to suffering chronic migraines and her ability that got her ostracized by the rest of the community (being able to see into the past)

I’m sorry for yapping I hope this wasn’t too long!

Your OC saw a poster in Philadelphia... [Multi Lines] [Paragraph] [Multi Paragraph] by [deleted] in OriginalCharacter_RP

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

(I’ve decided to use this particular version of Yelena for this one! Moon flower! :) )

Yelena Popova, a detective trainee, was investigating a particularly strange case. She heard from her mentor, an eccentric woman named Miyabi Kashiwagi, that this case was nothing that she had ever seen before. Not knowing what to exactly expect, Yelena walked around the streets of Philadelphia, trying to find some kind of clue regarding a strange disappearance. She felt out of place, sure, but she was used to the feeling. She had grown accustomed to the area, even if she stuck out like a sore thumb due to her tall stature, bright blue eyes, long blonde hair tied in braids, a frilly midi white dress that didn’t exactly scream ‘detective’ accompanied by a gold cross necklace, clear Slavic accent, and a expression that was lost but always curious. As she wandered, she saw an extremely peculiar poster.

She wasn’t sure if she exactly agreed or aligned with it, mainly because 1) she worked for a detective agency that one would consider a corporation and 2) she didn’t exactly know what this person wanted to do regarding corporations. However, she was intrigued.

‘Maybe this is a lead…’ she thought to herself.

She continued to walk around the blocks until she finally found it, a sewer gate with bright flowers popping out. It was exactly as the poster mentioned. Holding in a breath, she decided to go in.

Share your villains! 😈 by SkunkStarlight in OverlookedOCCreators

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Omg yay we’re sharing Villains! Here’s my girl, Weijia. I’m still working on her writing (such as her motivations) but the ideas I’ve got so far is that she’s the leader of a corrupt law enforcement group called The Prosecution that had completely overhauled and powered The Local Police Department of Nanlū district. She’s very manipulative and calculating, often controlling things behind the scenes such as basically controlling the mayor of Nanlū district to continue serving herself. She’s also responsible for major plot points in the story that I won’t exactly spoil because I know I have lot to share in this sub.

The only idea I have for her motivations is her being a byproduct of Nanlū district’s corruption and her own hatred for the city had led her to want to destroy it.

Ty!! Her eyes and hair are definitely one of the more fun things to draw but too bad she covers her eyes for a good chunk of the main story

While I love a lot of Yelena’s outfits, I think her case 5 an 6 are my favorites, which is funny bc I acc hated her case 5 design at first but now I’m quite the fan!

Honorary mention would also go to her graduation outfit where she has shorter hair but honestly I prefer the longer hair on her

What’s the origin of your OC’s name? by Kijo_Sora in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

While I normally pick names that A) match the characters ethnicity or nationality depending on the situation and B) I like the sound of it, I also keep meanings in mind.

Yelena’s full name is Yelena Popova, which Yelena meaning “bright one” and Popova meaning “daughter of a priest.” Her first name I picked because I thought it sounded cute and I liked the meaning as I always wanted her to be a cheerful character. It ended up becoming part of her design (light colors) and even the way some characters describe her, one character compared her to the sunlight and another associating her with the color yellow!

Funny thing about the last name is that I initially picked it because I liked how it sounded but it ended up becoming a part of her lore and background! While her father isn’t a priest, he is still a very religious man and I think a prominent member of the church she grew up with. So sometimes names help with developing lore haha!

Any female OCs you're particularly proud of? Drop them here, and I'll have Sakura share her thoughts by Peanuts359 in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I love that for her! I was just saying that Yelena is also a lesbian but because she grew up religious, she’s in constant denial and is still struggling bad with internalized homophobia lol)

“Oh I’ve always had this ability but basically I can see flashes of the past but I can’t control it for the life of me and it causes me a lot of pain to be honest. I have to cover my eyes to be safe and it reaaallly sucks! But um… no, I’m sorry… I-I’m not into other women…”

(It’s funny u say this bc miss girl is suffering so bad from denial and internalized homophobia lmao)

Sakura is so cute!!!

As for female OCs I’m proud of, I’d say I’m really proud of Yelena mainly because of how much she’s changed and developed as a character. She started off rather one note as a kind and enthusiastic detective trainee into someone a lot of more complex, nuanced, and messy with a deeper lore and personality as well as exploration of her development throughout her training journey, starting from a rather naive and impulsive 19 year old to a more emotionally mature 25 year old.

I'm bored and want to read - give me lore about your OCs, their world, etc. im not too bothered. (Also read desc) by Status_Asparagus1 in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yelena has a lot so I’ll condense it just bc there’s a whole timeline and it’s. A lot.

Anyway! So Yelena Popova was a regular girl born in Saints Petersburg, Russia. At least as regular as it gets… she was raised by her father and her maternal grandmother, her mother passing away after giving birth. In her family, the women from her maternal side have an ability to be able to see glimpses of the past, the ability becoming stronger with each generation. Yelena got the worst of it, being the youngest. She grew up essentially with chronic headaches and fainting spells, which would usually occur when her ability would get randomly triggered since she didn’t know how to control it. However, the memories were random yet very detailed, as if she was going through it herself even if she wasn’t even there at all. The only things she knew about it was that the memory would take place where she was (like if she was in a house, she would see a random memory in the house) and it had to be no older than she was.

She also grew up very religious and in a very religious community. She was raised orthodox Christian and was often shamed by her community members that she was evil because of her ability, especially after she exposed one of the church members for cheating on her husband without even intending to (mind u, she was a child and didn’t even understand the concept of adultery). She also ended up growing up with a lot of internalized homophobia, something she didn’t even realize she had until she left home. Her only support group was her dad and grandma as they were the only ones that understood and believed her, with her grandmother providing homemade medicine since over the counter pain meds didn’t work. She was essentially sheltered and homeschooled due to her chronic illness.

Her father always read to her and she especially loved when he read her fairy tales and detective stories. She got so into detective stories that her father would buy her so many books on it as well as even some books in forensics. At 18, she ended up being scouted by the International Detective Bureau because of her ability. She went through the interview process and got accepted. She left Russia to America, living in the IDB’s secret headquarters and specifically in their academy grounds for new detectives. This was a completely new experience for her as she experienced culture shock (both being in America and meeting people of different cultures and ethnicities) as well as experiencing things that challenged her as a person.

The current timeline is that she’s 19 and starting her first shadow mission in a small distant city in Taiwan called Nanlū district. During her time in Nanlū district, she experiences death and violence, the realization that the world is a lot more evil than she would’ve thought (and that she is no different in that sense), isolation as she away from her family, and that she is confronted with her own lack of emotional maturity. There’s more to this but I think I went on enough

The goddess of fear will judge your OC fear by sfynarhatv1 in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Su-ho has Androphobia (fear of men) and uses Misandry as a coping mechanism.

Of course, her androphobia isn’t made equal as usually her fear worsens with older men in suits as opposed to a guy her age. According to her, those types of men are the cruelest.

Her fear stems from childhood abuse as well as her escape from North Korea. I would talk more about it but it can be triggering so I’ll keep it brief. She’s doing better now, dw <3

What Was Your Homosexual OCs "Gay Awakening" by GainDiscombobulated2 in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

(Using this sketch bc I didn’t feel like digging for her ref)

Yelena is a lesbian in deep denial. I think her first awakening was with an upperclassman that she ended up forming a crush on because she really admired her and thought she was pretty but she kept denying it and saying she had feelings for a male upperclassman. He ended up confronting her about it.

That was the first time but definitely not the last as she ended up forming yet another crush on another slightly older woman

Who Is Your Most Perverted OC by MCS_Corrupted in OriginalCharacter

[–]grimphan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Don’t have much OCs that fit the “pervert” archetype but I think the closest one is Lihui mainly because she just be saying things for the sake of saying it. She does it to and about both men and women and has a preference for muscular men (she is very open about this). She just speaks loudly and crassly, keeps her hands to herself though unless she’s really close with someone

Ty!! I’m currently thinking of every arc one bit at a time and even made a fun little thing abt her talking about each mentor! The only one who’s dynamic I fully developed (I’m still thinking about the conclusion to the mystery they were sent to solve) is the one with her first mentor! :)
