One Song For Every OC Tag

One Song for Every OC Tag

Thank you @rickie-the-storyteller for tagging me!

Rules; Assign a song that fits the vibe of your OC.

A few of my OC’s originated from music I was listening to at the time, so this should be very fun.

Lord Valthoraxe - Once Upon A Time… A Monster (King Stephen)

Valthoraxe is a broken creature, who has gone through more pain and trauma than any of us could even fathom imagining going through. He’s mentally snapped several times, and has become a monster the world bows before in fear. This song portrays everything I could connect with him, with a perfect title to match. My book is his story, the story of how a great person descended into madness, rose to tyranny, and eventually fell. In the land of Alterra, there was Once Upon A Time… A Monster.

Sir James Honorborn - Sicilian Defense (Rok Nardin)

James is a very mysterious person, who seems like just another goofball side character, but is actually a terrifyingly powerful and immortal master of the arcane, with several spells that have taken him several centuries to write. This song has the same otherworldly charm I imagine him to have, while eventually rising to an energetic and powerful level.

DiamondMan - Selenica (King Stephen)

Diamond is one of the heads of NOVA, specifically NVO, and is a main character of the book. Diamond is actually based on another character from a very close friend of mine who is working with me on the sci-fi aspects of the story, so this song was chosen by him. In his own words, “It fits my character perfectly.”

The Heads of the NOVA Corporation - Virtual Armageddon (Kings & Creatures, Brandon Lau)

NOVA is the primary Sci-fi faction in my world, with 9 people leading it. NOVA is a problem solving company, be it inter-galactic travel through the complex NOVA-Gate Network of wormholes, to the hired extermination of hostile lifeforms. While being a neutral entity that’s held very highly in the public eye, it is also a machine of war that is ruthlessly efficient. This song captures the power and threat brought by it’s autonomous forces run by a nigh-sentient AI.

Melody - Absolute Territory (Ken Ashcorp)

Melody is just a fun little character I thought up, while listening to music and thinking, that will never appear in the final book. I went into more detail about her in a previous post, but in short; She is a half-elf shunned by her race and ends up making a deal with the tyrant, Lord Valthoraxe, for a set of magically enhanced clothing. The outfit vastly amplifies her magical abilities by syncing it up with whatever song she’s currently listening to. Naturally, she prefers to be listening to energetic and powerful songs that pop out, and this one in particular matches her new found self-confidence.

I’d love to write down more characters, but I currently only have the one wip, and these are the only fully fleshed out characters I have so far.

This was a lot of fun, I’ll be tagging these wonderful people to play along as well;

@orionsworldbuilding, @hayatheauthor, @author-a-holmes, @shiversdownyourspleen, and @raventsurara

Looks great! I’ve been reading through your posts recently, and there’s a lot of good stuff here. I especially love seeing custom maps.

Work In Progress. The Line Art Isn't Completely Done Yet And I Tried A New Technique To Draw Hands. I

Work in progress. The line art isn't completely done yet and I tried a new technique to draw hands. I have a bunch more to draw to finish Caelum's reference sheet but I really want to play stardew valley instead so I'm putting it off :)

On a more humorous side note, I'm in the midst of an art trade with someone and I tried a new line art technique and they gave me a compliment on it, SO as a man, it is the only way I will be doing my line art because those serotonins hit real good.

Some of these are pretty funny

responses to "I'm going to kill you" ?

"I don't believe you."

"If I'm going to die, I intend to deserve it."

"You'd be surprised how often people say that."

"Not if I kill you first."

"Fine, but I'm taking you with me."

"Thank God."

"I'm not afraid to die."

"What did I do this time?"

"You don't have better things you could be doing?"

"Finally."

"I don't think you have what it takes."

"Think before you speak."

"I didn't think it would end this way."

"Then, we have a problem."

"If you must."

"Oh, really?"

"That's fine, I guess."

*laughs*

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

"Why?"

"You'll never get the chance."

"And what did I do to deserve death by your hand?"

"Are you sure about that?"

"I'm not ready to die."

"No thanks."

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

"Never make plans you don't intend to follow through with."

"You realize I'm going to defend myself, correct? And I won't go easy on you."

"Please don't."

"What makes you think you're capable of doing that?"

"Now, now, let's not make any rash decisions."

"Well, I could never say no to you."

"Why? I'm lovely."

"This is quite possibly the last thing I wanted to do today."

"Don't say things you don't mean."

"You would never hurt me."

You are a 512 year immortal in a bar, angry because you can’t order a beer. It’s not your fault you took the immortality potion at 12 and have looked the same ever since!

Thank you for such kind words. I saw the “ask” you sent me, and that was the highlight of my day. All I want with my stories is to have other people enjoy them as much as I do. I’m glad you’re interested in my world, I hope it lives up to your expectations when I finally finish it.

Follower special! All followers, this is for you!

Wow, I have been here for a month and already 15 followers, you pioneers of kindness. Thank you for reading, and now I have something for each of you. I don't have much, money, technical know how, or talent. But I can write, so here I decided to give each of you a personal prompt based on what I know from your blogs. Here goes nothing!

@cheezbot, "Is...why...how?" (Cheese vending machine) "Welcome to your dreams user...I got munster, Brie, Jack, etc."

@mike-like-t-scream, "Who is that lurking behind you?" "Don't worry about him, he just my pet...who is very protective,"

@snootlestheangel, "Are you from heaven?" "Used to be, got a bit borin' up there," "What happened to your wings then?" "Now that is a bit of a long story,"

@mysticalgalaxysalad, "Because of you the universe is now a salad," "How did I?" "Oh shut up, you know what you did,"

@somnifey, "I put a spell on you?" (Random hot guy looks up) "Yes you!"

@devotedshadowytherapist, "I am completely normal," "Prove it!" "Uhhh, I am a 23 year-old man," "And?"

@queerlilchinchin, "I feel sick!" "You mean anxious?" "Both," "You are a trained warrior chinchilla, you can get through this!,"

@j-1173, "Who are you," "That is a very interesting question, allow me to me answer in very complicated terms,"

@maddielang16, "What are your talents?" "You mean what aren't they," "Uh..." "Here let me show you!"

@motheyesofnight, "What a beautiful sight," "Gives me ideas," "What kinda of idea," "Do you really want to know?"

@Christine24256, "Nothing," "Excuse me?" "I said nothing," "Oh okay,"

@ravenmichaelisstuff, "What did you do this time?!," "It was only a small explosion this time," (Character A sighs,) "(Character B) Hey it saved your life! *Whispers* My your disappointment is hot," "What as that?" "Nothing!"

@cynicamo, "Meow," "Is that all you will say?" "Meow?" "Your a damn human being!"

@writingalterras, "Dang that was some solid advice," "Thanks, I try," "Care to explain that universe of yours again?" "Oh sure! ...*two hours later*...and that is about it!" (Listener with stars in their eyes) "Woah!"

@broitsf-ckingfreezing, "Master," "That's a new one," "I just assumed, since you know...uh," "Since I just sliced that guy in half?"

Author's note. I tried to make it as personal as I could for each, I was offensive in any way, I am sure I meant good will. You are all so special to me, thank you so much for reading my material, it means so much that you follow me...even by accident if you did. THANK YOU...that's all I can say but I say it as heart felt as I can...more coming in the future.
