im gonnaaaa do a top 3 oc thing as in which of my characters are my top 3 and why
Cat
i very rarely talk about cat, but he's definitely got a special place in my heart. a lot of my characters come about for meaningful reasons - people would never guess but at one point greer was basically me, i made eldritch to help me get over having what i considered ruined dreams, and i have many other characters with personal meanings. but cat was a character that basically uh. started out as some random person from a dream, and. he literally cussed out all my characters and started a bomb and it was weird. despite his fairly meaningless origination, hes become a character i strongly feel with - he says some of the things i wouldn't want to say but would think, he's hilariously vulgar, and his insults are nothing more than potty humor and stupidity. despite this he's a very emotional character too, he's been through hell and back, and sometimes writing with him can make me cry. he can be sometimes emotionally taxing for me, actually - but i think that's what's really tied me to him? ever since i made him, there's always muse for him. there's always potential that can come with him - he can go in so many different directions and cause so many different scenarios and events.
Greer
greer is kind of a "teacher's pet" of mine, if i'm honest. part of me is just invested in her bc i made her to help me grow, understand myself, and vent. she was a struggling sister, and at the time i made her i needed to see a struggling sister succeed. she's not nearly as dynamic as cat for situations, but she's a great character for a sidekick or etc. her complete brutality is balanced by morality, and to a point, she is brutally moral. she takes her ideas and opinions to the extreme, and this leads to the worst a lot of the time. she was also one of my VERY FIRST original characters, and she's developed immensely since i made her. she's very deep in my heart. the only reason that cat is higher than her is he's accomplished settling himself inside my heart within only months, whereas greer has taken me years before i even considered she might be a favorite.
Gunner
OOF the third was hard? but i'd say gunner. he started as just someone from beckett's backstory, but he's taken the spotlight instead. he's perhaps one of the most intricate characters i've made. i'd say greer and cat are fairly intricate, but someone else could probably understand them enough. meanwhile gunner is kind of a stand alone character - i can't particularly relate to him, but it's because he's hard to define, really? he's had an intense backstory, he's gruff, tough, and rough, and he can be protective at one second and a violent man kidnapping his niece the next, he can seem evil and cruel but then be revealed as a victim to circumstance and other people's choices and just trying to protect the little family he has left from the rest of his family. he can be elegant, calm, thoughtful, and then later have a bloodied pulp-like face and be totally fine with it. he's someone that makes it impossible to tell whose the bad guy to a point without really looking into it, at least for me.
some runner ups?
Eldritch - my bby boy, he went through so much. he lost everything, he hit rock bototm. but for me, seeing him happy makes me happy. it proves to me that things can always get better. because things did, he got pushed and pushed and pushed deeper into tragedy and depression till he didnt see any way out - but there wAs and he got it
Xiomar - my OTHER bby boy. hes just rly rly fun to write honestly
Oscar - he wouldve been up there if he wasn't somewhat similar to cat. evil clown man with tragedy is my problematic fave
Asher - Resident Therapist Needs Therapy Himself, Laughs At Patients
