In your arrogant opinion how attractive are your OCs (sfw only)

Leyelle 2024-03-24 12:52:58 UTC #1

It doesn't have to be based on the world beauty standard, in which case many of mine would fall behind (I ranked this in the romance writing thread.) Rather in your opinion, or the opinions of people in your story, whose opinions you wrote. Lol

I'll just describe mine in reference to how other people see them.

Damsel in the Red Dress

Kattar is crazy hot, lol. Since Jr. High girls have always been crushing on him, trying to get his number, etc. And even before then, his mother's friends were always commenting on how she was so lucky to have such a beautiful child. (And believe me, the constant fawning over and doting on him that everyone has done the whole time she's known him annoyed Alicia to no end.)

Alicia is very pretty herself, but she didn't know that for a long time. Her parents, parents' friends and relatives always said she was such a pretty little doll, but she just assumed it was because...well that's what people you know do. She never read into it. Then after her parent's divorce when she went to live with her aunt, she got pretty depressed, not to mention that she only had shabby, hand-me-down clothes to wear. She didn't care a lot about her appearance, and while most people didn't care enough to comment on it, the people who did comment on her looks were usually telling her she looked shabby/homeless (in the case of her cousin) or to smile and she'd look prettier (in the case of her aunt, who wasn't trying to be mean, she was just tired and had no time to think about what she said.)

That said, Kattar had a teeny tiny crush on Alicia from the first day they met, despite her looking kind of shabby and grungy, and his mother could immediately tell how pretty she was as well. (Kattar's crush just grew overtime until it could definitely no longer be considered a "crush.")
Add that to the fact that his mother's friends, who had no reason in particular to want to be nice to Alicia, would comment on how jealous they were of how pretty she was, and the fact that an artist as egotistical as Etan wanted to date her, Alicia's pretty gorgeous. She doesn't get hit on nearly as much as Kattar did, but that's fine because she wouldn't be able to brush it off nearly as well as he can. Most guys are just more careful about those things than girls need to be, so they appreciate her beauty from an appropriate, non creepy distance. She was however hit on by one of Kattar's nurses.

unfortunately I don't have a picture of Kattar TT

In THE WORLD OF LEGENDS Alises Story there aren't many hot characters, but in the episode:

You can see jolie's grandma (4000+ years old elf).
Alise mentioned that she is beautiful, and in my opinion she would be too.

elves are notorious for beauty lol

All my female OC are giga stacies. Unaccessible to a sub 8 like me in real life.

Leyelle 2024-03-24 13:34:38 UTC #6

People are people. What they look like has 0% to do with who they will be willing to date. It's kind of messed up to classify everyone into categories like that based on their physical appearances.

Daecon is a good looking dude, especially since his recent glow-up, but his personality still isn’t quite there yet. Although he is improving, he still has a tendency to be arrogant and hot headed:

Evander, though, now this guy is the personification of sexy, at least in my eyes (and in Daecon’s eyes too). Curly red hair, medium dark skin, freckles, lean but muscular build, mismatched green and yellow eyes… but most importantly, he is very humble and kind hearted. When he first met Daecon he tried to be a jerk, but he failed and Daecon fell in love with him anyway:

Leyelle 2024-03-24 13:59:56 UTC #8

why would he try to be a jerk?

I did the same thing with Jinwoo from Hushabye Prince, making him basically the embodiment of beauty in my eyes, the only difference is that his hair is (albeit unnaturally) light colored, while I personally prefer very long very dark hair.

ThunderChicken 2024-03-24 14:12:12 UTC #9

It’s explained in the story, but the long and short of it is he was not always so good looking and was picked on/shunned by his peers. When he first met Daecon he was still hurting from previous rejection so he figured he’d be the jerk this time. It backfired spectacularly - the more he resisted Daecon the more Daecon wanted to know him. Evander eventually warmed up to Daecon’s charm (or lack thereof), but it took a significant event for him to really open up and to confess that the feelings were mutual.

Meanwhile Daecon, being a Dunamis, is fated to join with one person and together they will rebuild the strength of the Shapeshifters. Their offspring will form the base of a new Royal dynasty worldwide. A Dunamis can sense when the person he is fated to be with is present, though Daecon himself did not know this (he did not yet know he was a Dunamis and still doesn’t entirely understand it). He only knew that he felt an instant, irresistible, and unexplainable attraction to Evander the first time he laid eyes on him.

Leyelle 2024-03-24 14:16:53 UTC #10

Ah, I hope Evander recovers properly from that trauma. Take good care of your characters please. It's far too easy to become the same thing that hurt you

ThunderChicken 2024-03-24 14:28:34 UTC #11

One big help for Evander will be that Daecon himself had a rough childhood. He was raised in an orphanage among humans (he thought he was human too, and did not even know about the shapeshifters), and he was brutally bullied for his differences (white hair, pointed ears, odd coloured eyes). As he grew older and stronger he was able to fight back against the bullies, and he coped with it by building a wall in his mind. As he grew into an adult he seized on those differences and, rather than be ashamed of them he became proud of them. He perhaps became a little too proud and therefore became arrogant, the opposite of what happened with Evander. In other words, he was sexy and he knew it, unlike Evander, who still sees himself as unattractive. Evander still can't believe his luck in getting somebody as hot as Daecon to love him. He is still insecure to the point that even though he no longer requires eyeglasses (thanks to Daecon's magic) he still wears them because Daecon once told him that he found them sexy.

I actually drew a scene from Daecon's memories about being bullied. I still feel bad seeing seven year old Daecon all beat up like this:

Unfortunately it can be so easy to not know your own value, but it's very dangerous to find that value in other people's opinions/affection for you.

Self image is a big thing for my leads in "Damsel in the Red Dress" and "Hushabye Prince."

Despite being very handsome, Kattar feels worthless because he's paralyzed, and thinks that means he doesn't deserve to be loved by his best friend, because there's nothing he can do to care for her.

His bff (Alicia) spent her life feeling like a hand-me-down because after her parent's divorce, she was living in the care of a poor aunt, who couldn't afford to give her much of anything. Even though she doesn't completely think she's ugly, the scars covering her body are a huge struggle for her to deal with and not let them ruin her self esteem.

for the leads in "Hushabye Prince" Kimberly doesn't look like 90% of people either, being a black girl with blond hair and green eyes, and also having the habit of signing when she spoke as the hearing child of deaf parents. She's never really fit in, and that caused her to try to do whatever it would take to get people to like her.

And Jinwoo might be the saddest of them all. It's doubtful that he realizes how handsome he is, all he knows is that people have always been afraid or made uncomfortable by him, and that's obviously no way for anyone to grow up.

I love the title of this thread.
I think attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder, a thing of taste and preferences, and everyone has something that makes them attractive, but since you phrased it that way...

My two main OCs (as most of my OCs) aren't humans and they have a bit different way to think about appearance. Angels and demons are born as adults and born into a social caste of three (per side). Veidja, as battleangel, and N'Arahn, as demonlord of the warmonger caste, are both fighters by nature. Even though both of them can be attracted by very different people, they appreciate strength.
So, even though they don't like each other, they would find each other attractive (if they would think about it that way).
For others they maybe would be a bit too much on the hardened and scarred side. But for them it's just proof of their nature. In my eyes, well, both are handsome. Fit and muscular, with a fighter's elegance. And N'Arahn has this awesome long black hair...
While Veidja doesn't think much about her appearance, she has a glow around her that makes her stand out when among humans. Those won't really notice the glow, but something that's off and special in a good way. To be clear, that's nothing that's special for Veidja, it's how angels effect humans in general. But since Veidja doesn't dress up or something like that, I think she wouldn't be that striking.
N'Arahn on the other side... He has a lot of confidence and likes it to be admired, at least when it comes to humans. He's about 2m (~6ft7) and he knows he's quite impressive. He can be arrogant, but that's more for playing for him. He just feels very comfortable the way he is.

Not sure how much this answered the question. Well, as I said, in my "arrogant opinion" they are very attractive.

Leyelle 2024-03-24 16:51:27 UTC #14

Most definitely, that's why I made sure to specify opinion based. Beauty standard wise would be an entirely different thing altogether

skidiggy 2024-03-24 16:53:55 UTC #15

Hahaha. Love the topic headline.
For Apparent Secrets, we'll go through the roommates, Iris (human), Zayzann (bird person), Khazmine (technology golem), and Byxx (archfiend).

Iris: Average attractiveness among humans. She's quiet and friendly, but also on the thinner and more timid side.
Zayzann: Attractive among other Paxoram (bird people). His vibrant blue feathers are a rarity among his peers.
Khazmine: Her natural state could be considered unusual and neutral. Her unique camouflage abilities can improve her attractiveness by magnitudes.
Byxx: He'd be the most conventionally attractive roommate, imo. His striking golden eyes and vivid magenta skin are his most exotic features.

Leyelle 2024-03-24 16:58:14 UTC #16

I'd venture to say horns and pointed ears also require a person to have very specific tastes to appreciate lol

R.n.P 2024-03-24 17:03:48 UTC #17

I just believe its too difficult to not look good in a suit with a cigarette
My main character is called Luca Vincenzo by the way

As for Anabelle and Noa Karolina, I think the pictures can speak for themselves

BoomerZ 2024-03-24 17:03:53 UTC #18

I purposely made Baul and Isador (twins) odd looking. They don't fit in. They have redish/pink hair, piercings, and wear clothes you wouldn't see others wear. Most of the rest of the cast all wear pretty normal clothes to compare. Matt even points out that Baul doesn't blink in a rant of why is Gavin dating her. They are also both very short (5 foot) and look young. Conventionally I would say just above average in attractiveness if you saw them, but that depends if you find their style likeable. Also, being who they are, they could look like anyone they want. They chose to look like this.
Gavin on the other hand is tall, attractive and has no problem getting girls. He's not a model by any means, I would say a 7-8 on a scale of 1-10. His main thing is he is confident. He can fit in to most situations and is a grown up. He isn't a manchild.

skidiggy 2024-03-24 17:05:47 UTC #19

Totally. He's pretty common for an archfiend, but highly exotic on Earth.
