Favorite OC: Oh man. It really depends on who I'm writing or fixating on. I guess I would say my two most favorites are Griffin and Faelon. Griffin is super complex and his feelings and emotions go very deep. He has several inner struggles to battle at a time, and writing his interactions and reactions to things are fun. Faelon helps to get a darker perspective on things; his mind works so differently from that of my other characters, and he lets me explore grey morality more.
Newest OC: Honestly, Faelon is my newest. I integrated Veris in not long ago, but he existed as an oc from a different fandom before this so he wouldn't technically be new.
Oldest OC: Atlas. I'm still working on rewriting him, but I used him back when I was still playing console Skyrim. He was the first Skyrim oc of mine that I ever gave much thought to.
Meanest OC: Faelon. He's pretty terrible sometimes (affectionate)
Softest OC: Theo. That's my baby. He's very sensitive and has a terrible case of RSD (I may have projected)
Most Aloof/Standoffish OC: Technically Faelon again. He can be charming and persuasive but that's mostly cause he learns from and mirrors the way people act so that he can manipulate them. But when he's in a genuine position of talking to someone without ulterior motives, he's at a loss and is usually pretty elusive.
Dumbest (affectionate) OC: If we're going in terms of book smarts and not practicality I'd have to say Griffin. My man never really got any education and he lived off of learning everything firsthand. He knows a lot on the surface from experience. He knows how most things work, but not the "why" or inner workings of them. He's also not the best at reading or writing, but his vocabulary is decent from listening to other people talk.
Smartest OC: Theo. He's a scholar. He's smarter than me. But he's also humble about it (not at all because I don't know all the things he's supposed to know or anything)
OC I'd Probably Be Friends With: Theo or Atlas. They're easier to get along with and not as intense; I'd def slip up around the others.
Once again, I come with a new character that is related to my H&H ocs! I present to you all Phoenix’s older brother, Griffin!
He’s actually existed longer than Shelby, I just drew Shelby first cuz impulse and I had something new to do.
BUT! He was very fun to draw, and he took longer to draw than Shelby. Griffin is 4 years older than Phoenix. How many of y’all can tell the theme in this family /hj
sometimes a band family is a 900 year old vampire, a werewolf from the south, some kind of ghoul, and a human guitarist who is oblivious and just thinks his bandmates are freaks. and that's okay!
hello my beloved friend, it is time to be normal about your characters. pls don't feel obligated to answer any/all if they spoil your story of course, i am just so normal about them.
Veris: 13
Faelon: 17
Theo: 7
Griffin: 24 (or 27 if you feel 24 spoils his story)
HI SYD <3 You have no idea how excited your asks always make me
13. Veris - What questline had the biggest impact on them?
I've just started his playthrough, and though he doesn't really complete many major questlines, I feel like going through Nightcaller Temple with Erandur would have the biggest impact on him. Another man trying to atone for his wrongdoings by having to confront the ghosts of his past? Yeah.
17. Faelon - Have they refused any jobs? If so, why?
Faelon refused to take any jobs that involved him going into the College of Winterhold. Not that he's specifically afraid of magic, but he's not good at it and doesn't like being confronted with his shortcomings. Also he has a small fear of the idea of a high concentration of wizards who he can't openly kill that might use more mind magic on him. He'll never admit that part, though.
7. Theo - What non-combat skill do they excel at?
Enchantment, of course <3 And later on - which I guess this is a minor spoiler but whatever - he learns that he's naturally really good at pickpocketing.
27. Griffin - What kind of terrain do they enjoy the most?
I really really wanted to answer number 24 but it would have been a pretty big spoiler. It made me excited to keep writing, however. This won't really come as a shock to you, who's read every chapter, but it's definitely mountains that he likes the most. <3
