Good brainstorming exercise. Got the idea from here:
<da:thumb id="571998906"/>
Well, in 1997/98, I drew an Animals of Farthing Wood comic with a lot of original foxes, but I never used them outside of that never-finished comic. Here's page 1:
2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?
Currently, that'd be Nadir, a literary character. A hot mess with a cute streak.
3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?
No, I make my own just fine
4. A character you rarely talk about?
I never really talk about my characters. I draw them, I may write some stories to go with the drawings, but they're never really the topic of conversation.
5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?
Nadir.
7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?
Some are. Nadir's is actually nearly 112,000 words long. These are: novel, doujinshi (discontinued), manga (discontinued), and comic.
9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?
Depends. I'm not (anymore) attached to all of them.
10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?
Codfish Bunny Cable, or Kabeljauwhaasje
11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a "sunshine"?
Pucat is always quite happy.
15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?
Nah, except with fellow writers when asking for advice on the story. Also, my definition of “interesting” tends to be “fucked-up”, so there's a bit of an awkwardness there. Like Nadir getting snogged by his sister:
19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)
I got a soft spot for dramatic young men with a few loose screws and a cute side. So Nadir is very na-dear to me (his name literally means “Precious”). Here, you see why: the black eye says he got into trouble, his face is adorable, he looks all vulnerable, just my kind of d'aaaaaaw
20. Do any of your OCs sing?
No. I got traumatized of the idea when I pictured Fushigi Yuugi's angsty Nakago and cheesy Tasuki dramatically singing their theme songs in a recording studio. I cringe to this day.
22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?
No, they don't really have any fans who could do so
24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?
Nadir. I'd then proceed to seduce him, marry him, and do him twice daily. Wouldn't you?

26. Have you ever had to change your OC's design or something else about them against your will?
Only if the character looked too much like a real person who I know wouldn't approve.
37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human
41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)
I think someone did, long ago...
13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?A whore and a drug dealer:
14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory
Killed and brought back to life with a curse:
16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)?
Ameer. The one who isn't puking. He's a dropout med student.

17. Any OC OTPs?
Nadir & Ameer
<da:thumb id="572058595"/>
18. Any OC crackships?
If you ask Nadir's psycho sister...
23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?Yuuki in the year 2002 and 2006
25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)
Here, have a fursona.
28. Your most dangerous OC?Yuuki, hands down. Undead ninja trained by Orochimaru!
33. Your shyest OC?
Zuzu here.
35. Any sibling characters?
Nadir and Nasreen

39. Introduce any character you wantMeet Axel the axolotl. Hero of a children's book I'm working on
<da:thumb id="431318407"/> 40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!Nadir and Nasreen share a lot of funny, cute moments, mostly involving him being mean to her... It's an adorable little sibling relationship until Nasreen fucks it up. But I like their moments. He's all protective and fond of her, like she's his favorite thing or something
43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It's time to confessThey're mostly Middle Eastern and men often resemble guys I've had a crush on because I simply have exquisite taste.
44. Something you like about your OCs in general
They're funny and deep
45. A character you no longer use?
Shit man, that's a ton.
46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?
Yes, I like to write angsty shit.
49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes
Nadir and his silly ass.
50. Give me the good ol' OC talk here. Talk about anything you wantRecoloring other peoples' artwork doesn't make that shit an OC. Stop it. Also, be daring. You got the chance to make an *original* character. Why make one like there are already a million? Go diverse, make'em fat, short, hairy, hell, make a person of color, someone with a physical handicap that isn't another weird scar.
