Why-raven - The Blackest Night.

35. What things do you most want to see in someone’s OC? Or what do you always find the most interesting? Or stimulating, if you’re in that sort of mood?

(from Little OC Creation Ask List)

I suppose I enjoy a good backstory and a bit of a character arc. Not that there's anything wrong with self-inserts and power fantasies, but I do quite like to get a sense of where an OC started and what factors influenced their development.

Equally I've no objection to fantastically lore-bending OCs, but I do like to get a sense of how their creator sees them fitting within the setting and interacting with existing concepts.

As for stimulating, I can't claim to be immune to attractive male OCs, but that's not a requirement for me to be interested and engaged with someone's character!

Luna made many fond memories with Noct in their childhood, but their days of innocence ended abruptly when the empire overtook her home of Tenebrae. Through adversity, she became the youngest Oracle in history. Adored and respected the world over, she now travels in search of communion with the gods to aid Noctis on his journey.

The Revelation

quiz: smell of your soul — yiuno.

Coffee.

Keywords: intelligent, old soul, complex. You are an extremely thoughtful individual with a creative mind and loving heart. Being around you is like sinking into a warm bath. There’s something truly wise about the advice you give others; being in your presence leaves others feeling warm, reassured, and inspired. Compatible with: coffee, candle smoke, freshly baked bread.

This result is clearly to no one’s surprise; it’s public knowledge by now that Yiuno is a huge caffeine addict. Y’shtola has commented that she knows he’s around whenever her nose picks up the aroma of coffee. Even the keywords are perfect for Yiuno—I can’t think of anything less to describe this old man bunny.

The description, however, I feel like that fits Y’shtola better than Yiuno. Some of you might disagree with me, seeing that the cat mom doesn’t behave as intimately as the other Scion members towards WoL in the MSQ, but I can totally relate to her—I’m quite similar to her when I socialize with others.

It’s even harder for Yiuno to show his soft side, given his background and professions. Perhaps he’d open up to people who have managed to earn his trust, which could take a very long time to reach. After all, he’s an immortal, and he’s got all the time in the world.

Thank you for tagging me, @starrysnowdrop! ’Twas a fun quiz, and I quite enjoyed it (´∀`)

god knows… — haruhi suzumiya (cv: aya hirano).

I’ll follow you No matter where you are in the darkness of this painful world I’m sure you will shine Beyond the end of the future Don’t break your spirit because of your weakness You will converge my way May god bless us now…

imagination — spyair.

No matter when, no matter who, we want to stand there Even if it’s wrong, even if it’s frustrating, we want to struggle on Never give up, we don’t want to end like this With this imagination in mind, I’ll go on

innocent starter — nana mizuki.

I whisper to you, the one who gave me my “beginning” Of the promise that we made, just the two of us The magic of eternity that never changes Even if our future is captured, even if it vanishes far away I’ll remember your clear voice Call my name And smile like you did that day

troublemaker — arashi.

Wondering about the dreams I’d almost forgotten Searching for the love I’d nearly lost I don’t need your tears anymore Is it too late? There’s nothing wrong with that! Wondering about the existence of rumors That chilled the atmosphere of the city Just smile here to dodge a bluff Isn’t it okay to just take it easy?

weight of the world (english version) — keiichi okabe ft. j’nique nicole.

Still, we’re gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It’s like I’m carrying the weight of the world I hope that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I’m only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life
