Is there anything that your OCs usually end up having in common? Like idk if they all look kinda similar or all have this one personality trait that you just unconciously give them?? Idk if this question makes sense sorry
No, don’t worry! It makes perfect sense!
Haha yes, a lot of my OCs are actually quite similar if you compare them…^^; I try to make them as unique and special as I can but sometimes there’s a couple traits that carry over. Of course in most cases it’s okay; for example if you know ATS well then you probably know how protective Riku is of Shima, eventually both Colin and Fyuuki develop this same protectiveness as well–it’s not exactly the same in how they convey it, but they all feel a strong sense of overprotectiveness when it concerns her! Riku is slightly different in that he’s Shima’s guardian and best friend and he’s been with her since she was very young, so he feels a sort of duty and role to protect her (not to mention the whole Shizu incident as well, that fact makes him even more protective). Colin and Fyuuki are her close friends and teammates, as since she’s the leader of Team Star they also have a duty to defend her and protect her when she’s in danger. The rest of Team Star feel this way as well, and not just about Shima, they all feel it for each other–but Colin and Fyuuki witnessed firsthand how completely naive and innocent Shima is since she is totally ignorant of how the outside world works…so they know they have to look out for her, just like they look out for Celeste too. They’re both like the big brother types, except with totally opposite personalities XD
Another thing would be that whenever I make an OC I always try to make a companion for them, someone that they can be with romantically? And I know that realistically, not every one of my OCs should end up with somebody, the real world doesn’t work that way, but I do it because I’m a sucker for romance and I just like seeing all of my children loved and happy >m
I also feel that a lot of my boy OCs look really similar, idk maybe that’s just me personally but…! Yeah I guess I subconsciously just…make them all look the same since that sort of look appeals to me the most ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
