The oc telling thread

Thanks for the tags, @ivanskilling and @uglygirlnextdoor!

Joel Farber is a book-keeper who loves reading about history (especially antiquity) and self-improvement. He has long struggled with self-esteem, since his mother (as well as many of his peers) was verbally and emotionally abusive towards him growing up. He also has to deal with the remnants of a childhood stutter.

As a child, he was painfully shy and had trouble making friends. Disliking how he was always pushed around, he pushed himself to become extremely outgoing and argumentative during his teen years, hoping this would make up for his years of "silence." However, this isn't his real self either - so in university, he becomes more subtle and quiet, but retains his penchant for political debate.

"The Book of Joel" starts when Joel is 24. Now more confident and emotionally open than ever, Joel is now well on his way to asserting his independence from his parents.

Through his relationship with Malka, an intelligent, kind, and extremely perceptive young woman, Joel has finally learned to embrace aspects of his personality that he had tried to suppress before (in particular, his amorous and loving personality, since he was worried that these aspects made him weak).

TL;DR:
Personality: Extroverted/ambivert (on the surface), introverted (when he is alone or with his loved ones), anxious, intellectual, over-thinker, sensitive
Themes he has to deal with in his story: growing up, asserting his independence from his parents, discovering what he wants in his career as well as in his relationship, allowing himself to love and be loved

Joel is the protagonist of "The Book of Joel," which is coming out at 50,000 ink and is also a side character in my main series, "Sam in New York" (he is the protagonist Sam's friend and will be introduced officially later this month in "Sam in New York").

I have been summoned @0@

Thank you @AilyneGouveia and @Rhonder !

Hard to pick who I wanna talk about the most so lets go with the guy who talks about himself the least!

This Beetch

Dimitri or would otherwise be known as Dimitrious if he ever remembered that was his full name.

Lost his parents when he was young and ran away to the wandering tribes around his kingdom. The place is run by a bunch of progressive/regressive? Lizardfolk called Szards. Due to his upbringing he tends to fall for women who can break him in half with their bear hands or just have that general air of dominance about them. (tho the more subtle "your gonna do what i said because i said so" and less of the lusy fem wilds kind)

Other likes are fried Bananas, which is one of the only things Thea can get him to actually eat despite him always being kind of hungry. Most likely this is due to his depression.

For the most part his story arc in the first book is him trying to get over his own bias, which- unsurprisingly- is hard to do when you have traumas that have build up those bias. Thankfully there is a giant teddy bear esk lizard called Ralh that has the patience of a saint whos ready to fix this trash boy up.

One thing i enjoy about dimitri is that as manly as his body type would imply he really dosn't care too much about social standings when it comes to his masculinity. He continues to wear earrings even after moving to a place that finds them feminine, simply because he likes them and thats that- he'll even go out of his way to buy really pretty ones with lots of do-dads and colors cause he just finds them so neat! (prob helps he lived in a desert all his life and just gets real excited when he sees colors he hasnt seen before)

On that note have dimitri with some longer hair cause i didnt realize this boi had a smolder till i drew it XD

Summary

(also cant wait till we shave that damn beard off him for a chapter or two, boy grows like a forest)

I feel so late to the party XD a lot of people I know have already been summoned
I will try @Kelheor @PapaDom and @DiegoPalacios and see if anyone visits XD

Thanks for tagging me @RyzaCobalion Ok, here is one of my people:

If you guys would like to join in @kinleypavone @mannygart @sarahmcsquish

Thanks, @Prometheus and @TAMAnnoying. Your call awoke me from my slumber, and I rushed as fast as I could. (Not really, but I tried...)

So, OC's... Well, I guess I'll go with Olivia obvious.

Olivia (16) is your average happy-go-lucky girl. She tries to get along with all people she meets and tries to see the good side of them. (Kid got the heart in the right place) But she can be an airhead for her innocence sometimes. Her friends are the most precious people to her, so whenever they need help, Olivia would be the first to aid them. But when something would bother her, she straight up tells what's on her mind. And here is a fun fact: After moving to another city, she dyed her bangs green to stand out more because secretly, she tries to be popular (but doesn't want to come over as selfish, so she never tells someone about it.)

---

Now it's my turn to summon. And I choose @diamondpowder , @agunceto and @vothnthorvaldson.

All right, to mix things up a bit instead of talking about Rekki... let's talk about Jules! They've been causing mixed reactions in the comments so far!

Juliet Ellis, who prefers to be called Jules (age 20, pronouns: She/They), is the younger sibling of Urien Ellis... yes... as in... the guy who made himself King. As you can imagine, having your kind of an asshole brother decide to make himself king one night when you're ten years old is... not exactly a setup for a normal adolescence, especially if you happen to be an autistic orphan raised by your weird alcoholic aunt.

Still, they've at least always had somebody to rely on and that's Rekki Lune, due to the friendship between their families and Rekki being a lot closer in age to Jules than Urien, developed an "older sister" relationship with them and later took them on as a squire. Jules' highly creative but often strange approach complements how totally blunt and straightforward Rekki tends to be. Jules has successfully managed to gain a knighthood, but their skills really lie more in magitech, stealth and illusion magic than swordplay.

To cope with the stress of being related to an evil king, Jules has a tendency to "mask" (a term used in the Autistic community for hiding autistic traits by copying observed behaviours and slipping into a persona like you're playing a part, sometimes without being consciously aware you're doing it) by playing the role of a "villainess" character like from a cartoon or webcomic ....Admittedly they do this partially because they think it's really funny, but it's also easier to have people treat you like you're weird on your own terms by playing a deliberately weird character.

Jules is playful, clever, irreverent and blunt, but also plagued by a lot of anxiety... and has a very important role to play in the story as we go forward.

I'm going to tag.... hmmmmm..... @miss.monocle @Chita and @snowy !

Thank you for tagging me, @PapaDom

I am not sure which character to pick, so I'll go with Delyana, who was picked as the most popular character. I can't draw to save my life, so the image you see was created by using Azalea's Elven portrait maker: https://www.azaleasdolls.com/dressupgames/elven-portrait.php1.

Delyana has lived over 1000 years and is the most dangerous type of witch among the three - a witch of sense. She can come off as very intimidating when you first meet her, because of her cool beauty and height (she is around 177 cm tall, which I believe is about 5ft9inch). She travels a lot and incorporates a lot of these places styles in her clothing. Over the years she has had relationships with both man and women but is currently with a man, who will make a brief appearance in the upcoming chapters.

I am going to tag @amortelito, @vothnthorvaldson and @DiegoPalacios.

Thanks for the tag @Jenny-Toons

So yee....

Lets see Ima tag these beautiful folks right here :
@IndigoShirtProd
@Lady_T_Musings
@HippieGhost
(Hope yall don't mind lol)

I don't mind at all! This is my second tag but I have plenty of OC's, so let's talk about another one of my pirates, Brun!

Brun is one of the kindest hearts on The Crimson Tempest, but is also among the most terrifying! She is an enormous 7'4, with larger hulking muscles capable of deadlifting up to 500kg. She dwarfs all of my other characters, and is famous for crushing people to death with her bare hands, but all she really wants is a good friend, and maybe an adorable lesbian to step on.

Here's Brun pictured with one of my other main characters, Rin Doli'Cera, who has not made her first appearance yet.

(Credit again to @HopefulAttempt for the wonderful fanart)

Here are some fun facts about Brun:

• Brun is only 18 at the time of her first appearance in Finding Work. She was 16 when she joined the crew.|

• Brun reached her maximum height of 7'4 when she was 12 years old.

• Brun wrestled a bear once. She won.

• Specifically, she suplexed a bear

• Brun's favorite weapon is her axe, but she often prefers to break bones with her bare hands

• In a non-canon collab, Brun once rescued a woman that was trying rescue HER from some knights. They began to flirt while she held one knight by his head in her hand, and when he got too distracting, she popped it.

The scene in question:

I'm gonna tag @crowstories because I don't think she responded to her last tag.

Damn, thanks for the summoning @thel3tterm!!
I'll tell yis about Georgia.

Georgia is a young Irish-Taiwanese artist. She uses the pronouns she/her, she identifies as bisexual and has a complicated relationship with... relationships. She is an introvert who hates to be alone, which is one hell of an oxymoron.
I don't like to say too much about Georgia for the sake of people beginning the comic for the first time - it's best to learn about her as the story progresses. All you have to know is that she can get REALLY invested in her artwork.
I'll tag @Tromroan and @hemsleyxlucas !!
Here's my comic!

https://tapas.io/series/To-the-Touch

Thank you for tagging me @Pony_wearing_a_hat! 🖤
I'm not the best at drawing, so sorry everyone

This is the main character from my novel:

Beck is suffering through her last semester of highschool. Her favorite word is f**k and she hates mornings

I will tag @starlesscomics @Tanidreams @DaisyYoung

Thanks so much for tagging me! I don't really know people on the forums very well yet so i tag you, yes you, whoever it is that is reading this to contribute!! <3

These are Stella and Boris, an absolute cinnamon roll and the local edgelord. They are best friends <3

Thank you @Tinkerton for tagging me! Ok I'll use my little harp seal, Jesse! He's a timid, fearful little fella from Planet 93 with a lot of curiosity. However his fears hold him back from doing what he really wants. The cycle continued until he met his best friend, Frisco!

I'll tag @BrambleberrySquirrel and @evaadderley, sorry if someone tagged y'all already, though!

Oh! I've been tagged! thanks, @joannekwan !

I'll pull out Harriet Malloy, who is so barely held together by alchemy at this point that she has a weird side effect from her medication where she glows on the full moon. She hasn't really told her new friends yet that she does this, and to be honest, she will never admit to it, even if she started glowing right in front of them.

This art makes her look like an octopus but I swear she just has a lot of hair.

Lessee, this is getting to be a long thread, so I thiiink you haven't been tagged yet, forgive me if you already have: tagging @Iris-Grimoire , @FritzC , and @ratscout
