Tell us a bit about your MCs/OCs

[AmazementComics]

In these trivial and sickening times, the world is clearly not in a good place right now. Some of us (including myself) are not in a good place right now.

However, despite the way the world has been revolving as of late, I figured why not follow one of the guiding principles of the Tapas which is building community? Instead of promoting your works, rather this is a thread to discuss about your MCs/OCs and their personalities in your story. Let others immerse themselves into a character of yours, their backstories, their motivations, goals, strengths, weaknesses, what have you. Anyways, don't afraid to share them. If it has something to do with spoilers to the future of your comic/novels obviously you don't have to share them.

I'll start. I've two original characters who exist within Amazement Comics:

This is Clyde Fernandez better known as Awkward Prowler.

He was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. His parents divorced when he was five years old. For the rest of his childhood he lived with his father. He went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin where he majored in Political Science. A few years later, he got married to his wife, moved to New York, and started working for his local city council. One day when he was up in the attic of his new house, he stumbled upon a mysterious artifact which, upon contact, infused him with the "Prowler Spirit" thus giving him the powers of all the stealthy creatures in the animal kingdom.

Additionally, this is Jackson Abiola better known as Hazmat Creeper.

Jackson Abiola was born into one of THE "Five affluential Families of Nigeria" who existed since the 1960's (when Britain still colonized the African country). Born in Lagos, Nigeria, his family moved their business to the United States by the time he was three. Raised in Scarsdale, New York he went on to attend college at Columbia University and majored in Business Administration. However, during the summer after his junior year at the university, his parents were assassinated for speaking out against organized crime. Soon after, he was exposed to toxic chemicals and poisonous plants giving him the ability to control and manipulate all of plant life. With his parents dead, he now possess the inheritance of his family's business, Abiola Industries and the wealth that comes along with it.

Hanato Chokoreta Jonovich, mononymously known as Chocoleta.

Born in February 14, 2003. Butternut City, USA. Half japanese, half english.
An anxious teenager suffering PTSD from the incident where she loses control of herself and brutally beats a professor up when he misunderstood her situation, after years of pent up anger from the pressure her abusive mother and uncle, and absent father, pressured into academic excellence. After getting shot in the head by said professor at the age of 13, she was brought back to life and bailed from prison by her father. She gives up on life, until 3 years later, her older sister, Jolly, inspires her to live her life again.

Chocoleta is also an insanely powerful psychic, wielding enough power to level an entire metropolis, she makes it a priority to never do this.

@AmazementComics
Woah, you put a ton of thought into your characters backstories! I really love how detailed you went with everything.

Also, I have to say that the over-the-top character designs with such down-to-earth and grounded backstories was a nice juxtaposition and gave me a bit of a chuckle.
Keep up the good work dude!

So this is Zephyr (AKA Z):

They're an apprentice to an organization which is tasked with maintaining and occasionally eliminating realities.
They're extremely shy, quite a people pleaser, and struggle with showing any sort of negative emotion.

Hey thanks a lot for the compliments. If you were referring to Awkward Prowler then I get your comment even better now. Nice character you have there as well.

Kôra Halin is the main character of my novel

A mysterious earthquake struck Kôra's rural hometown and forced him to move to the city to live with his uncle. Nothing particularly alarming until that one night; his reflection in the mirror was not him. The being revealed to Kôra that they were both dead only to retreat before he could get any clarity on the statement. Since that day the reflection did not go away, while Kôra started to lose control of his power and other things happened.

Sandra is a small-time singer who returns to her hometown to escape a scandal. She's sexy and flirtatious, although that part of her character is a byproduct of certain childhood experiences. But her appearance in her hometown stirs up trouble and her past begins to haunt her.

Devil's Triangle | Tapas

[KidJake]

Born illegitimately to a syphilitic grifter and a homeless German immigrant, Roger McCrow had a harsh upbringing; one that ultimately claimed several of his brothers before their time.

He struck out on his own at 15, his natural size and charisma opening doors for him that were inevitably slammed shut as his irreparably warped sense of morality came to light.

He married, and eventually divorced, several women over the years; even having a pair of sons with one of them, but he drove them away just as his father did with him.

As the years dragged on, his reputation as a dangerous and unpredictable thug became more prevalent and by his 50's he's more or less accepted that he's the monster everyone says he is. Maybe even worse than the man who raised him...

That is until he's caught in a terrorist attack that gives him superpowers. For the first time in his life, he didn't draw the short straw; in fact, after kicking the living shit out of some asshole that looks like a tree people treated him like...a hero.

Maybe if he plays his cards right, his kids might think that too?

This is Eory, he's a fairy prince.

He's a very shy man and he lacks a lot of social skills due to being locked in a tower most of his life. His heart pounds whenever he speaks to new people, and he never knows what to say to new people either. Because he lives under the shadow of ancestors who have been deplorable, he feels the need to be extra good so he doesn't end up like them--especially since his caretaker, Kori, has explained to him so thoroughly why his family was evil and what the difference between good and evil is. However, due to his genes, he seems to have evil thoughts in him that he can't help, but he manages not to act upon.

He has extremely powerful magic lurking in his veins and has an odd habit passed down from all of his ancestors of biting his arm.

Oh yes Amazement, I will take you up on this OC sharing opportunity.

You already know who I am sharing in all his fantastical corgi-butt wielding glory:

Behold, Norman the drinker of tea, consumer of flesh, and king of fluffy posteriors. Rescued from slavery at a very young age and brought up by the Mafia, his sole purpose of employment is to protect the posh princess Alise and cater to her ever need. This usually includes, but certainly is not limited to, killing off any potential threats, making breakfast, doing laundry, and sitting in for her daily tea parties....often forcibly wearing a flower crown.

"why did you fight, big brother? why did you join the army and fought in the Middle East? are you some kind of blood thirsty war junkie, who thrive on death and destruction?" Asked Jessica

"No, those... those people are tearing themselves apart in a bloody civil war, I just want to protect the civilian, to help stop the fighting as soon as possible, to help re-establish peace. I just... want to help"
"Yes, you just want to help. And I think there is a reason we had been brought here. This world, these people need a helping hand right now, help them." Said Jessica

SWEET WIND

[DualDragons]

Well, this feline fella is Sphynx. He's in his late twenties in human years.
(Click to see the full picture?)

Sphynx and his brethern hail from a village hidden in barren deserts, mountains and canyons. The village usually flourishes because of a powerful well that breathes life into the surrounding area.
Allowing the villlagers to nurture and harvest their crops and thrive within the town.

However, the well has started to run out shortly before the events of RotH. To restore it, the villagers need a large amount of gold. Hence why Sphynx and his brother and sister set out and split up to collect enough gold.
This also awakened Sphynx' love for gold and money.

I can completely relate with the not feeling ... 100% in the current days. On that same note, I debated posting in this thread since I currently feel rather sickened by my own work - I create, I try to share, and it's just met with silence, for years. With that awkward segway I've made a lot of characters and couples over the years - some with important minor characters, and some more fleshed out than others.
Will and Crow are by far my most fleshed out characters in that I feel like I can really understand their desires, motives, and frustrations. One way I've gone about this, and should continue doing really, is by answering questions as them as if they're being interviewed. It's known as a "Character Development Exercise"- and I'm not sure if many other people practice it... I'm just that awkward blob that's like, here I know my characters because I've thought about some odd situations and stuff for them - and some are things that wouldn't come up in the story - at least not obviously. Some are things I've thought of at the start of the story - like the central part of the plot of who kills one of my characters, who's a dead angel who can't remember who killed him - that was something figured out at the very initial forefront of the story - so the entire story was just crafting a way for the reader to piece it together, and not too far outpace the characters . . . . . . . . That made sense right?

So anyway - one of the CDE's involved me asking Crow about health.
Does healthy eating matter to you?
Crow
“Of course.” He nodded with finality. After a few minutes of silence, he groaned, realizing he had to elaborate. “Well, hey, I’m a knight- well even if i I wasn’t- I’d eat healthy. I want my partner and friends to eat good, too. It’s why I cook everything I eat. I can’t trust if people have added too much salt or sugar, or butter, or geeze, oil. Too much butter, oil…. things just get soggy. But a good sugary bread,” he paused a moment to brush the corner of his lip. “Besides, the healthier you eat, the better your body is, and that just means I’m all the more sexy for Will to look at. And, I gotta admit, I think he’s turned on by my sexy-healthy ass.”

: I should do this question again but maybe see if the character can answer it about the people they know? Though I think Crow covers that, too...

[Verrell_Rain]

Got you covered .

[K1NG]

These are my MCs, Hinan Okami(red) and Kakusan Okami(blue). They first met at the age of 12 inside of a slave plantation. And they ended up becoming best friends. At the age of 16 they confessed their true feelings for each other. So they went from best friends to lovers. And within that same year, they managed to escape captivity. Now they spend most of their time killing demons, or chilling with their squad mates at the mansion.
