OC MEME: Erskin Aspera
(meme ganked from kinomatika)
1:What’s your OCs favorite color?
brown. after that, the red-violet of his hemotype.
2:Where does your OC work?
he does not. he is rich. but his pastime is traveling the planet fighting monsters and hunting gigantic dangerous sport beasts
3:What’s your OCs favorite food?
fresh-caught meat, the rarer (in both senses) the better. he’s kind of epicurean. he is also lured in by nice soups.
4:Does your OC prefer paper or plastic?
probably paper. heh.
5:How old is your OC?
eight sweeps / a bit past seventeen.
6:Does your OC have any supernatural powers?
not by troll standards! he’s incredibly tough, strong, and resilient by human standards. also he has functional gills, being a seadweller, and fins that detect bioelectricity and electromagnetism and psionic use.
7:Is your OC in a relationship?
currently he’s shacked up pitch with askcrossfirehurricane and pale with armchairdesperado. he also has a flush crush on a mysterious older lady but we’ll see how that turns out.
8:What are some of your OCs strengths?
he’s literally super strong, even by cartoonish troll standards. he’s persistent, hard working, good natured, kind and generous, optimistic, and ferociously honorable.
9:What are some of your OCs weaknesses?
he’s really socially unskilled and expects the worst from everyone, so he’s jumpy, paranoid, and prone to violent overreaction and unnecessary escapes to totally imagined threats. he’s poorly educated, short sighted, naive, and impetuous, so he’ll wander blindly straight into actual threats. the flip side of his noble honor is his prickly, stubborn, easily wounded pride.
10:What is your OCs favorite outfit?
comfy shorts, a t-shirt, and some light overshirt or jacket. one sturdy hiking boot— his other foot is robotic and would only jam up if shod.
11:What is your OCs spiritually-associated animal, such as a daemon or a patronus?
he’s got a pint-size gryphon lusus— a guardian beast, sort of a parent and sort of a pokemon— composed of a sea duck and a fisher cat, named Reggie. Reggie is prim, fussy, brave, and bloodthirsty. they’re a good team.
12:Is your OC sexually active?
as often as possible with his hateboyfriend, yup
13:What is your OCs earliest memory?
probably finding reggie after the brooding cavern trials and burrowing up to the surface of alternia? trolls are weird. getting seized up as prey by a sea eagle as a little kid also ranks high on formattive early memories.
14:Does your OC have a cell phone? If so, what kind?
nope! he barely even has a laptop.
15:What makes your OC angry?
being hurt and insulted, having to confront unfairness and unnecessary suffering and murkey gray-area morality, his boyfriend who does all that at him
16:When is your OCs favorite time of year?
whatever time of the year the majority of alternia’s beast population goes into rut and gets even more dangerous
17:How long can your OC hold their breath?
not long if his gills are pinned shut! to make room for the gills he has less in the way of air-processing lung tissue than landdwelling trolls. so even though his heartrate and metabolism are slower, his breathing rhythm is noticeably faster. he’s probably got a deeper chest than a landdweller his size and fitness would, also. he can stay underwater pretty much indefinitely though.
18:What kind of underwear does your OC wear?
simple black briefs, or nothing.
19:Does your OC prefer plaid or polka dots?
plaid is manly. polka dots are too silly.
20:What’s your OCs favorite kind of pizza?
meat, meat, more meat, and maybe onions. little to no cheese— he doesn’t digest milk products well.
21:Who is your OCs best friend?
probably his lusus haha
22:Has your OC ever killed someone?
a lot of people! he doesn’t like killing people at all and does his best to negotiate or run before he has to.
23:Whats your OCs biggest secret?
right now probably the extent of his traumatic stress disorder and/or nervous breakdown(s)? he’s too stoic and suspicious to want to actually detail to anyone the wounds and traumas he’s gotten from troll and animal predators in the course of his adventures.
24:What does your OC smell like?
Saltwater, boytroll sweat, musty hard-worn leather and fabric, gunpowder.
