I've been thinking a little bit about how my OCs love

Not like, romantically. Just how they love, how they grow attached to things or people. It can be such a fundamental part of a character, but I feel like it's something that doesn't get talked about a lot. So here, have some of my OCs as an example.

Melatron loves out of fascination. He loves things because they're quirky, or different, or stand out. He loves things he can't understand, because quite frankly, there's so much about the world he doesn't understand. He loves the thrill of watching someone solve a Rubik's cube, the high of meeting someone unpredictable, the chaos of improvisation. Oh sure, the randomness of it all can catch him off guard, but deep down he loves the unpredictability because it's what he longs to be. Different. Special. Something worth remembering.

Silvern loves out of conviction. He loves things because he believes that all things deserve to be loved. He loves without exception because he knows that oftentimes, exceptions are the ones who need the love the most. He loves rusty swords and torn sleeves, the joy of prying a smile out of a stern face, the little beautiful things all around him that deserve the attention they never get. Oh sure, sometimes his passionate adoration is met with cold steel, but he keeps trying because it's what he'd want others to do for him. Love, without prejudice or condescension.

Cooper would have you believe he doesn't love anything, but that's a lie. He loves out of honour. He loves those who have earned his respect, not by fearmongering but by honest identity, because he knows how much it can cost to be yourself. He loves a well-made instrument, a fine blade, and seeing people truly in their element, unafraid of him or his reputation. Oh sure, he'll never show it outside the most select of circles, but he cares deeply for those who know who they are, because he doesn't have a clue. Who is he, if not a monster?

Gilden loves out of wonder. They love anything that is pure or kind, because they have seen so much that is neither of those things. They love the soft downy feathers of baby birds, the innocent laughter of children, the generosity in small gestures of kindness. Oh sure, there is plenty about the world not worth loving, but that only makes them more determined to guard what little innocence still persists. Keep it safe, so it need never be burnt by fire as they have been.

Jazz loves out of excitement. She loves things because they distract her from the burdens of reality, and give her a taste of a better life. She loves the adrenaline rush of a good heist, the thrill of learning new skills, the heat of fire as it breezes past her cheeks. Oh sure, sometimes she'll get her caught red-handed, but what good is a gamble without any risk? If pursuit of knowledge doesn't involve a high-speed chase, can you really call it a "pursuit"?

anyway this has been Cat infodumping about her OCs, thank you all for sticking around-- and if you got this far, reblog this with how your OCs love, i'm curious 👀

Conversation

Reporter #1: Detective Avalon, don't you get jealous when Melatron flirts shamelessly with other people?

Ellis: ...we're not a couple

Reporter #1: Come now detective, I think we can drop the façade

Ellis: I'm serious. We're not dating.

Reporter #1: *uncertain* and.. you're sure Melatron shares this sentiment?

Melatron: *leaning dramatically over Ellis's shoulder* no they're right, we're not a couple

Reporter #1: *confuses noises* and that concludes this interview, where we have learned exactly nothing
