Questions About Creating Your OCs

‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?

Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?

How did you choose their name?

In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?

Is there any significance behind their hair color?

Is there any significance behind their eye color?

Is there any significance behind their height?

What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?

Are they based off of you, in some way?

If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person?

Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?

What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?

How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?

If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

What is something about your OC can make you laugh?

What is something about your OC can make you cry?

Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story?

What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

What is your favorite fact about your OC?

when a film or tv show takes place somewhere where you have been, it is your sacred duty as viewer to say “i’ve been there” every time you recognize a place
