OC Questions Tag
Tagged by @writernopal here!
Okay, I’ve done this for Hettie and Oliver, so this time it’s Adrin’s turn!
5 words to physically describe your OC (do you have a drawing? even better!)
Pretty, blonde, toned, sad eyes
Who inspired your OC? (can be your mum to a very famous fungi)
YES okay so Adrin was the first character I created for Silver Sentinels. He was initially inspired by Soren from The Dragon Prince because I love, love LOVE his character arc. He’s just a loyal knight following orders and chooses to throw everything away (including his family) to do the right thing when he realizes he’s a part of the problem. Adrin’s arc kind of reflects that in a way, which you will see by the end of ToL. Additionally, Soren’s appearance greatly influenced Adrin’s.
I call him my golden retriever because he’s cute, loyal, protective and just so stupid sometimes. He’s a large part of the comic relief, usually at his own expense or Mara’s.
Give me a song to define your OC (I will listen to it to enter in your WIP mood!)
I have been actively looking for more but the one that is just perfect so far I imagine to be Sophie’s song to him :(
Murder Song by AURORA
If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?
Listen, the ToL gang is pretty antisocial as a whole. They’re all too emo for that. If he greeted you at all, rather than slouching past in an angsty manner, it would be a simple “hello” and “goodbye”. He’s polite, but largely uninterested in making friends.
Can your OC be your best friend? Why?
Of course! I love Adrin, he’s a sad man who needs all the friends. Majority of his dialogue is taken verbatim from me, reading my writing aloud—his sarcasm fuels me, and vice versa. I also enjoy that he doesn’t take Mara’s attitude seriously and treats her like the feral cat she is. “Oh you want to snap at me? What are you going to do, bite me?” I’m a very sarcastic person and I need friends who can keep up with that. Also, every time I see videos of someone bathing their hairless cat I immediately wish I had the ability to send them to him. (Irk, in a little swimming cap? Adrin giving him a bath??? I would die and so would Hettie.)
I would also be friends with him just so I could play with his fancy sword…
1 adjective and 1 noun to describe your OC (blue soul)
Sad puppy (that’s what I call him lol)

OC vs. Cockroach
Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here! I had to do this one right away because it was too funny to imagine and I need a break from writing…
Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach
For the Tomb of Light cast:
Hettie: 9/10 Hettie loves bugs and little crawly creatures (snails are her fave thing ever). She has seen a lot of roaches in her life and while she doesn’t mind them, she recognizes they are pests. Lavender is a natural insect repellent and she would have plenty of that on hand to harmlessly deter them from coming back.
Oliver: 0/10 Hates nature, hates bugs. He has spent the majority of his life indoors and doesn’t like things that live outside. Including people. He would see the roach and scream for dear life until it was removed from sight.
Adrin: 10/10 He spent his childhood outdoors being bitten and swarmed by everything nearby. He thought it was hilarious to sneak roaches and spiders into his house to scare his mother. He would help Oliver out, mostly to shut him up, but also because he doesn’t mind touching them.
Mara: ??? She knows a good source of protein when she sees one.

Three pics that represent Adrin, because he’s making me sad today:
He was the first character I created for ToL and I made this long before I understood him. It still fits. (He has problems with bears).
Incorrectly Described OCs
Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here!
Gently tagging: @kaatiba @ahungeringknife @sarahlizziewrites and an open tag
Rules: Describe your OCs (personality-wise) as badly and weirdly as you possibly can
Tomb of Light
Adrin: Just the saddest boy. Like a golden retriever if you stepped on his tail—he’ll bite you, but he’ll feel really bad. Will love anyone who is nice to him.
Mara: Feral cat. If you try to be nice to her, she will likely return it with hostility or a sarcastic comment.
Hettie: 🎵Every rose has its thoooooorn🎵
Oliver: King Emo himself. Scared of children and intimacy. Will trade hugs for food.
Not a Villain Song Tag
Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here!
Gently tagging: @bee-barnes-author @writingmaidenwarrior @pheita @ahordeofwasps @rachaellawrites @spideronthesun @winterandwords (I don’t know who does/doesn’t do music tags, sorry in advance!)
Rules: Pick a song for the antagonist/ villain of your WIP, but the twist is that it can't be obvious that it is a song for the villain. As in: if someone listened to the song and didn't know it was about the villain, they couldn't guess!
Had to jump on this one right away because I love a music tag. Sooo fun fact: revealing my antagonists would spoil a significant chunk of ToL, so I’ll be using code names.
That Bitch (primary antagonist): I know we all say our WIPs are Hozier-coded (and they are) but these lyrics are so perfect.
When I was a child l'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire and the place you need to reach
Don't you ever
Tame your demon
But always keep 'em on a leash
Redacted (surprise antagonist): These lyrics foreshadow the ending of ToL—spoiler alert?
Start again, start again, build a new world up instead
Let the old one burn, you get what you deserve
Go in exile, go in vain, keep burning to the borderlands
We become all that we hate
