Original Characters Anonymous

[suyu_]

i used to have ocs during my kpopper era but not anymore

i created a character based on someone that existed but implementing some traces of myself on them

i don't know if this fits on the definition off an oc

i admire those who put so much effort into their character development :)

actually i dunno if i'll really do it cause my OCs actually belong in a videogame/comic/show thing called "mathilda's world" and it's pretty much memey and... kinda """kinky""".

I'd say it counts as an FC (Fan character) which is like the little twin sibling of the OC (as to me, the definition of OC is an original character for an original series, whereas an FC is an, implied original character made by a fan for an existing series. Anyone can feel free to correct me or elaborate on this)

Either way though creation is awesome and I second suyu_ in that it is indeed admirable when people put the time and effort into it.

I misread that as "kapparapper" and imagined someone dressed as Nitori being a DJ at a club

please elaborate

I wasn't talking about FCs I was talking about how memey and weird the plot is

[Hikiko Hime]

Ah ok maybe my understanding between FCs and OCs are wrong. I'm also not familiar with "Mathilda's World". I thought it was an already existing series that you made a character for. (which to me is an FC). I am now under the impression its your own unique story (which to me is an OC)

I'll try to elaborate further, that an FC is made specifically to fit into an existing series (such as Touhou) where as an OC is a character that is part of an original series and/or stand alone universal character that does not specifically belong anywhere. It can still be used in RPs/fanfics of existing series but have their own individual lore/origins that are not bound by the rules of any specific series, other than their own if they have one.

And yea reading it again sounds like you were wondering if to post or not based on the plot and its themes rather than the character itself.  Such mistakes often mean my caffeine tank is running low lol.

Lastly: Weird is good!

actually the last time i created an oc i started to have daydreams about me being the oc irl, and for the sake of myself i decided to stop doing it

Interesting because I'm the type who would welcome such a thing. If you're willing to elaborate as to why you stopped, I'd love to hear more about it.

also btw mathilda's world is basically some sort of omori ripoff except it's based on my own life (which is hell)

This sums everything up perfectly!

Anyway, where can I learn more/read mathilda's world? I'm interested in this particular brand of 'hell'~

[koakumas]

for me, i made a design of a character with a z which is like the first time a touhou character had a z at the start but that was before zanmu was introduced, so i took inspiration from the design and remake her into something fresh. (no pic provided yet btw) and her name was “yokono saikyuu” (which according to google translate, it’s “next to”, “the fastest”) so i took that for an ability which was to manipulate speed. like any kind of speed wether it’s time or running speed, and can go from teleporting or complete stop. i have an idea for like a servant to yokono which is a vampire that’s older than the scarlets (800 years old actually) and no idea what she can manipulate yet nor a confirmed name yet. but anyway, yokono saikyuu is 2000 years old youkai of sorts (no confirmed species) and so that’s about it for yokono, nothing really finalized yet. so yeah that’s what i got lmao heeeeeeeee

I’ve recently started a fun little CYOA here on the site. While I was tinkering with the wonky formatting from my cloud, it struck me despite Oscar being the fic’s main character I have never brought him up. So, time to bore you all with my latest creation (and bump the thread for future generations). Tried a new art style below. If you don't care for the art, I'd like to see you do better in MS Paint over a lunch break.

 

Oscar Diggs the Fourth is a stage performer, excelling at the art of trickery magic. While he has some talent at the art, poor Oscar has been having some hard times lately. He lost his job, and is now consigned to performing at children’s parties part-time. At least, until he awakens in the land of the Youkai. 

Oscar himself was an OC I devised for a roleplaying game on the site here. The head of a pretend corporation dedicated to helping Outsiders prosper, and acquire magical relics. He was meant to be a dealer in unorthodox antiques, and a connection for any Outsider characters. Sadly, several people who joined the games I set up vanished from the site, which discouraged me from continuing. Otherworldly Ventures, his company, is mostly made of smaller businesses. Fisheries, farms, market stalls, even a clinic. If you're an Outsider who has arrived in Gensokyo, its a good place to work to meet your basic needs. The downside is to join, you have to agree to work for them for five to ten years, and give up most of the money you earn. But its protected by humans and friendly Youkai, gives you food and shelter, and you learn life skills about living in Gensokyo.

Since Gensokyo is technically an isekai, I decided to make Oscar a reference to one of the first Isekai series. The Wizard of Oz. Like the original Wizard, he’s a cowardly charlatan. Getting by on a mix of cunning, intelligence and basic occult knowledge. This he uses to traverse the land, defeat Youkai, and eventually start up Otherworldly Ventures. I like to think that is part of his appeal. That the story involves him facing Gensokyo with its miracles and monsters without a heroic destiny, but with a high school education and basic life skills.
