Let’s create OCs and have them do dA memes!

[bluemage]

I’m not sure everyone knows this, but there’s this thing on DeviantArt called a meme. Not to be confused with Internet memes, DeviantArt memes are sort of a quiz/ collection of questions / commands that are answered/done by the drawings you draw.

I want that we do all of them.

More specifically I want all the OC-related memes (there are ones that are not related to OCs) to be done with a set of OCs that we are gonna make together. We should make about 4-6 OCs, each with a minimum amount of characterization. Their personalities would grow with the memes that we do. Answers that are directed to the creator (that’s you) don’t have to be consistent with the other memes, so that you would have your own personal stamp on the meme.

You can find the memes here

This is a list of all of our current OCs. props to Moldova in Eurovision 2K11 for creating it and everyone else who helps with! Wooo!

But first, who is our first OC and how does he/she look like (remember, I want an original character, not your original character)?

[Varkarrus]

I was going to draw one because I want to get in on this before we run out of room for new OCs, but it's too early to draw (I'm not the best artist anyways)
so I'll just describe her I guess?

Name: Tao
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 130 pounds

Tao does not know her real name. She woke up in a hospital bed in a secret government base with quite powerful reality warping powers. She is designation Ta0 (37944 in base 10). She broke out, leaving swathes of people dead. She has light hair and light skin, and is dressed in a hospital gown, assuming she hasn't changed clothes since she escaped (she likely did, though). Personality-wise, she is quick to anger and often irrational because of it. She is likely to solve her problems with violence, and beleives herself better than regular humans.

I created this character for a game I'm making but go ahead and use her.

alright. this is a rough draft of how i think she looks like: tell me if you want anything changed like hair, or eyes, or stuff like that.

[Varkarrus]

oh man that's perfect actually!

I'll get in on the drawing side of this for sure, even if this thread dies and I have to pull it from the smoldering rubble. Or if it becomes so popular that my average drawing skills get overshadowed.

[bluemage]

Alright, this thread is getting a little stale, so how about this OC:

So we need to add an emo to the ensemble, So we'll have this kid who has his hair covering one of his eyes and acts in the most stereotypicaly emo way possible. He'll have like a black T-shirt with ripped jeans and a spiky bracelet and other gothy goodnesss. He keeps a notebook filled with really bad poetry that he writes.

What should his name be?

[Varkarrus]

Lenny. Lenny Hasowitz.

He's also Jewish.

No reason why.

[bluemage]

Lenny. Lenny Hasowitz.

yes. and he'll have a Linkin Park yarmulke.

[Varkarrus]

He'd have too much of a jewfro to wear one!

A died black jewfro!

[Coasterman29]

Died black jewfro partially straightened to cover an eye?
This thread sounds fun.

[OrangeAipom]

I want to help somehow.

[Varkarrus]

Course, he shouldn't have any jewish stereotypes about him. Like, he'll have the jewfro (best. hairstyle. ever), and he'll be Jewish and follow the rules and stuff, but it has to be a far less important aspect of him then the emo stuff, and there should be more personality traits about him that also crop up more frequently than that.

[bluemage]

Heh, I love the jewfro idea. I once grew my own 'fro. It was big and out of control.

Anyway if you guys want to help you can start drawing Lenny. Then we'd have a collective idea of how he should look like physically.

[bluemage]

Here's Lenny Hasowitz. I tried to give him a sulky look, though he looks kinda tired, doesn't he?

[KawaiiMelon]

Name: Jim McMatherson
Age: 41
Height: 6'1
Weight: 350 pounds

Jim is a balding, poor man working at McDonalds, getting free food to feed his family. He is notably overweight (surprising, considering he's poor.) He wears his McDonalds uniform everywhere he goes, to note to bystanders that he has a shitty job. He was recently taken in by the CIA to switch bodies with a kitten. He now has the option to switch between a kitten and a human. He prefers the kitten, however, because as a kitten he gets free food at his loving, kitten house. The owners of Kittenjim don't know that he is actually a 350 pound middle-aged man. He plans on killing the family one day to take all of their food and squat in their house as Humanjim.

[OrangeAipom]

What do Kittenjim's owners call him?

[Varkarrus]

Ben

[OrangeAipom]

Can I assume that he has a kitten house family and a human family? I want to make sure that I'm reading it right.

[Varkarrus]

no human family, he lives on his own.

[KawaiiMelon]

no human family, he lives on his own.

Actually he has one child that he neglects.

[Coasterman29]

His child is a successful billionaire, and Jim neglects him so much he doesn't think it is true.

[Varkarrus]

Ironically, he owns the company that let Jim turn into a cat. Neither him nor Jim know about this!

IDE/Theory: Jim's son is David Petraeus.

put this in OP, so we can have an archive for newcomers.


Let's aim to have 6 or 7 before making any memes. I'll come up with a new barebones OC soon-ish.

[bluemage]

How about this:

The reason Jim neglects his son is because his son is the result of an unwanted teen pregnancy. Let's retcon Jim's age to 45, say he got a girl pregnant at age 17. Fast forward to the present, his son is now 28, which I guess would be a reasonable age to direct a project straight out of a sci-fi or Animorphs if the son is smart-ish.

Cripes, we're gonna have to make a new character out of his son if this gets any more intricate.

[Varkarrus]

Let's do it.

Also, his son was head of staff on the reality warper project which created Tao.

Or even better, we retcon Lenny's age to 28 and then Jim's son is Lenny!
