Musings on Original Characters
Nov. 15th, 2003 04:35 amXD Now I know why Carrie always begs people to comment ^__~ **wonders if anyone besides Adelianna is reading these musings.** Hmmm. . . . Oh well. I can use them for my own reflection and study, if nothing else ^^
I'm happy because I did chapter 4 of Family Ties! =3 Now I've just gotta work out chapter 2 of Home for the Holidays! I'm hoping to do some writing while I relax and watch the WB's block in a couple of hours. It's so relaxing to just sit there and watch my fave characters ^o^
Earlier I was thinking about some of my original characters. Khu, in particular. I remember when I first created him, he was really evil @@ He tortured Yami Bakura two different times, just for the heck of it! Thanx to Chaos, however, I wound up taking a different look at him XD In the RP's I do with her, Khu is a main character and not evil. I actually delved into his mind and developed his character. That was a neat thing to do. Since the RP's with Chaos, I determined several different things about him:
--He hates water, because he nearly drowned once and so did Seth (his younger brother and ancestor of Seto Kaiba)
--He loves grape juice XD
--He was a really rude kid ^__~ **think Yahiko on Rurouni Kenshin!**
--He can be high-strung, while Seth is more relaxed XD
Oh yeah, and the reason for why he was always after the Pharaoh was because he blamed him for his mother's death @@ She died in the Pharaoh's prison.
Somewhere along the line, Khu had a bad accident that rendered his left arm useless for any underwater activity (though he can use it okay on land). I'm sure he didn't mind that any XD LOL
Anyway, the main point of all this is I was trying to find similarities between my OC and me. Like Khu, I have an intense fear of drowning. But I do like water, interestingly XD And Khu has this tendency to be sarcastic, like Kaiba (and myself LOL). Let's see . . . Khu can seem cold and unfeeling. . . . I can tend to seem that way (at least emotionless) if seen in public. On the Internet I'm different, though XD Oh yeah, and I can be high-strung X3
Khu's a fave OC of mine, but I've trained myself to not have a crush on him. LOL. For some reason, I can't stand having crushes on my OC's. Nor do I like doing hurt/comfort scenes with them as victims, usually. The only explanation I've been able to come up with for that is that, since I created them, it almost feels like I'd be kayoing myself and I don't like self h/c in fics or RP's either XD I remember doing a couple of short h/c fics with some OC's for the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom during a time when I thought I had a crush on a character I'd created called André. Later I decided I hated them and I took them down from FF.net XD
In my mystery fics, the most fun I've had with an OC was probably with Mr. Thorton from both Christmas mysteries now XD He is such a nutcase. Sometimes his comb gets stuck in his hair and he doesn't even notice. Then other times he's holding a vegetable, like lettuce, and it crumbles in his lap. Again, he won't notice. He's, like, always stressed out and afraid of disasters XD He's really overprotective of his toy store and has a fear of being sued.
Other fave OC's would be Bruce, Bernard, and Elsa (from the deejay mysteries). Bernard and Elsa got created back when I was actually writing fanfics about four deejays (real ones!) who worked at a radio station in Las Vegas. They were all on friendly terms with me and I enjoyed talking with them ^__^ They liked my fanfics, too =3 Anyway, Bernard's and Elsa's roles in those fics was pretty much the same as in the YGO ones. They would walk around, cause trouble, and constantly accuse one person of being guilty (in the real-life deejays' mysteries it was an OC called Vince, the head engineer. In the YGO mysteries, it was Bruce) XD Bernard and Elsa were based on characters in The Hardy Boys book #109, one of my all-time faves ^^
Ahh . . . that was fun, taking a trip down Memory Lane. I miss that radio show ;__; Since it went off the air, the deejays and I have kinda lost touch with each other. I do still know how to contact at least one of them, though ^__^! If anyone's interested, the website I did was: http://www.angelfire.com/nv/Oldies931fanpage I think that's right. The fanfics were so silly and goofy XD I luved writing those things.
Vivalene is one OC that I hope I'm not like in any way, shape, or form! XD Originally she was created as a nice girl, but a bit of a flirt. You should see the original character design. She looked so sweet and innocent @@ Compare that with the Vifa of today: a back-stabbing murderess! She is bad to the bone. I like vocally RPing her 'cause I get to do her syrupy voice, but she's a really horrible person. She's tried to kill Marik, Kaiba, and Joey. And she mentally tortured Bakura. @@ And she turned against Seth and shot him multiple times. (Not that I like Seth, but still . . .) Yeah . . . I definitely hope none of me is like her XD
Oh yeah . . . there's Kasumi too. Little angel girl ^^ She's fun. She usually comes to assist Kaiba or the Ishtars. Lucky gal XD Her past was recently told in my ninth mystery, Ranch of No Return.
I could go on about OC's for hours XD But I think I shall stop for now. Maybe I'll pick up the musing later.
