First things first.
Hello, OCT contestants. This is just a reminder that you only have 2 months left until the due date, which is October 31st! (I'm posting this because I only received one character ref so far.)
Have fun~~

Stolen from ~Splitcat~~~

1) How you thought of the name.
2) What made you create the character in the first place?
3) How the character has changed over time (if they have changed).
4) Any random fun fact about that character?

Shou

1. Actually I don't know. I was thinking of random Japanese names that sound good, without making up some sort of ridiculous Stu name DDDD:
2. He was for another story that I was planning for our comics club.
3. Uh. He went from a fading angel thing to a gunslinging chef, gained two younger brothers along with a cat, a dog, and a rabbit. He gained several hobbies including baking cute sweets and watching romantic movies and practicing his marksmanship. He's also gotten secretly engaged to a coworker....and he spontaneously aged about twelve years....lllOTL
4. He does all the housework, and he's very stoic but very silly around his girlfriend.


Hans

1. I wanted to give a German name to a character 8D that's all (my names really don't have much meaning behind them)
2. He started as this other character for another story for my comics club after I scrapped the one with Shou in it (this story got scrapped too but I might draw it out for fun). He wasn't supposed to be Shou's brother but they looked too similar to pass up the opportunity~
3. He didn't really change, besides the fact that he made a career switch to a florist. And he picked up a seemingly abandoned bunny from the street after falling for its cute looks on a rainy day.
4. The very first version of Hans had a five-year-old advisor and a loli war general, plus a half-plant pacifist court magician who was bffs with a flying, reanimated corpse...dead...mailman thing with a candle burning on his head (not quite a corpse, really. More like he was in the process of ascending to heaven when he got resurrected).


Chris

1. I think he was the first character to whom I gave a normal name (the other people have typical fantasy names).
2. He was an unplanned child. Meaning, of course, that he was a random design floating around~~ he somehow made his way into FOA and into Shou's family.
3. He's become a lot nicer than his AU self (which would be the FOA Chris, with the original personality), he doesn't use his guitar to fight, and he's studying to become a surgeon~ he's also gained another hobby of video gaming, though he doesn't have much time for it.
4. He was a very happy person but after an incident where he gave in to his curiosity (in the FOA-Chris sense), things started going downhill. He hasn't quite hit rock bottom yet, though.


Hana

1. I wanted her to be as normal as possible? But I didn't want to name her Hannah.
2. Since my other pairing in my legion of 50-something OCs is one-sided, I thought I might as well as give someone an actual spouse/fiance(e)/whatever~
3. I planned her to be a stick, but then she looked strange as a waitress so I made her curvy (I enjoyed drawing her more, too, after that change)
4. Her full name is Hana Penelope Lovecraft. She has appropriate tastes that fit her name. Which means that every time she and Shou have movie night, the traditional "guy gets girl to watch horror movie so that he can hold her" becomes "girl eventually ends up in a bear-hug as the guy desperately needs something to cuddle".



Revolver Ocelot tags 6 people, only because he has six bullets.
Solidus Snake taps 4 people with his four arms.
Raiden realizes that he has no arms and goes to emo in a corner.
Liquid Snake merrily prances around on the handrails and falls off onto a faceless guard, more or less tagging one person.
Otacon hides in a locker.
Solid Snake tags...everyone, after equipping the infinite ammo bandanna. (Which makes Liquid very angry and sends him on a quiche rant)
