what is your oc's core theme?

tagged by @gwynbleidd to do this quiz, thank you jackie!!

tagging @hibernationsuit @nokstella @ravensgard @yrlietlanaevyss @ehlnofaey @feitanportor @katsigian @rosykims don't remember who has done this recently so. as usual. no pressure if u don't feel like doing this!

doing this for the once iconic poe duo that has faded into obscurity because i've neglected them for so long! time for a sura & viv renaissance babeyy

sura - the leaver

"there is nothing for you here anymore. you are being rejected by this place. it repulses you, too - you have no desire to stay here. yet, some nostalgic thorn curls into your side and keeps you bound here. there is comfort in a hell you once called home. but it is time to go. no time to stall. if you wait too long, this place will swallow you whole. then, you will have no chance to leave. you need to go; you've been waiting so long. the door is open. all it waits for is your first step. your painting is "artist's death. the last friend" by zygmunt andrychiewicz."

vivinna vellico - the popular

"the attention of outsiders is like opium. at your heart and soul you produce and create and you thrive on the love it gathers from others. it is like taking your first steps as a baby, and hearing the cheers of thousands upon thousands of parents, encouraging you to move a little more, to step towards mother or father. but when the cheers fall silent, you are lost, aimless, a boat in a turbulent sea with no lighthouse to guide you. you are no longer taking steps. there is no voice calling out to you, signalling where to turn, and there is no encouragement. you want to take the steps but you cannot find any good reason to - not without everybody waiting at the end of your path. your painting is "the birth of venus" by sandro botticelli."

okay first of all i love how viv got the least common result. if she were real and the one taking this quiz she would be so proud of that 😌 anyway. both results are spot on and illustrate the differences between these two quite well! sura longs for connection and a place to call home but feels out of place no matter where she goes and thus continues to further isolate herself. vivinna on the other hand surrounds herself with people to entertain - she has many friends and acquaintances but no idea who she is without the attention of others.. hm.....

#tag games #ch: sura #ch: vivinna #listen sura used to be one of my dearest most precious ocs..... i talked abt her a Lot......#vivinna too. she wasn't as big as sura and i still havent gotten around to playing poe with her lol but i had a lot to say abt her too!!#i love them. both white haired unwanted children who have similar issues but deal with them in very different ways....#initially they do not understand each other at all but they become great friends and learn so much from each other.....#i've forgotten a lot abt sura and i've been meaning to rewrite her backstory but i haven't gotten around to that either. sigh #but for now just know that her life sucks and she's never had a place to truly call home. and the companions she meets in dyrwood #are the first real friends she's ever had in her life. ok.

Samantha Stephens Abilities:

a long post (pt. 01 of ??)

Animal Transmutation:

It Shouldn’t Happen to A Dog: Sam transforms a client that was making drunken, unwanted sexual advances towards her into a dog. Turns him back to normal for a brief time before turned back into a dog and is sent to the vet. Turns him human again so, he could attend Darrin’s business meeting and when he attempted to do so again, Darrin catches him in the act and punches him, taking Samantha’s side of the situation. Otherwise, she probably would have turned him back into a dog once more. All is forgiven but, we don’t see him anymore.

Ling Ling: Sam transforms a Siamese cat (from the Cat’s Meow ep) into a human woman. She still shows some signs of being a cat (such as hissing, wanting catnip, scratching someone’s face, drinking liguid through her tongue, being petted, etc.) but, is able to make her mind in what she wants without realizing the ramifications of her own existence. is later changed back into a cat.

The Horse’s Mouth: Sam turns a race horse into a woman who asks for help to show that she can still race since all the other horse was just making her sister look good by winning first place. The woman is then turned back into a horse so, she too, could win a race and continue to do so.

The Catnapper: Turns a prying investigator into a mouse when he threatens to expose her as a witch, to teach him a lesson when he had kidnapped a cat that was a human client of Darrin’s, thanks to Endora. Also, this episode shows that Endora transforms a female client into a cat, showing that Sam had learned this from her.

How to Stuff a Wild Bikini: Samantha turns a party goer into a pelican before turning him to a man once again while posing as Bwana’s daughter.

Invisibility and Phasing through Objects:

The Catnapper et al: Can turn invisible and phase through people and objects, examples include this episode and various other episodes when Darrin and Samantha get into a spat and Samantha goes to hang out/stay with her mother temporarily when Darrin learns yet again the error of his ways.

Flying:

A Vision of Sugar Plums: Uses a broom for more than one person and at the bequest of a child, also one of the few times Darrin just goes along with it to meet Santa too. Only time she uses a broom.

The Catnapper: Sam flys in search of her mother, all over the world

Long Live the Queen: Samantha takes Endora flying to take the position of Queen of the Witches

Body Immobilization:

It Takes One to Know One: Freezes the restaurant to point out that the current model for Darrin’s latest ad campaign is a witch, unknown to Darrin and Larry

Red Light, Green Light: Endora freezes a room of people as they get up to leave from a community meeting about whether or not they should have traffic lights, showing that Samantha learned this from her.

Speed:

...And Something Makes Three

Love is Blind: Takes pot roast out of oven, adds season while Darrin watches when he thinks her mortal friend Gertrude is a witch, purely done in sarcasm.

Out of Sync. Out of Mind

To Twitch or Not To Twitch

Is It Magic or Imagination

Shapeshifting:

A Change of Face: Samantha shapeshifts into another woman - a French woman - in order to mend Darrin’s bruised ego over his looks. (note: endora shapeshifts into sam in which witch is which, see blog dashboard banner of endora as sam)

Appearance Alteration:

The Witches Are Out: Changes Darrin’s client’s face to that of a stereotypical witch to prove the point that witches are people too. similar theme in sisters at heart but, dealing with a mortal issue than a species one.

A Change of Face: Changes small bits of Darrin’s face when he’s sleeping at the behest of Endora.

Sisters at Heart: an episode created by 26 tenth graders of an English class at Jefferson High in Los Angeles to tackle the issue towards racism, shows that Tabitha tells Lisa she is a witch and then proceeds to alter only their skin color when Tabitha wishes that they could be sisters. Eventually this led to them having large spotted skin of both black and white (similarly the 1st episode to show vitiligo but in a child’s point of view.) A client of Darrin and Larry turns out to be racist when Tabitha exclaims that Lisa is her sister. Later in the episode, Samantha - just like she had done in the Witches Are Out - makes the client see everyone [including Samantha, Darrin, their children, and Larry] as black as well as himself when he looks into a mirror. The only thing that was changed in this episode was the setting, which is a Christmas episode. Every other creative decision in the episode (such how the client saw samantha and himself) was the class’ decision.

Pyrokinesis:

I Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - Light the table lighter for Darrin.

Your Witch is Showing: Lights a table lighter, making the flame larger than what it should and terrifying the man briefly, completely intentional on Sam’s part to scare him as a slight revenge for what the man had done to Darrin’s diorama at work.

Reality Manipulation:

Love is Blind: Sam made a specific set of birds migrate a couple of weeks early just so Gertrude and Kermit could have something to talk about and later set a date.

Physical Restoration:

Love is Blind: A friend of Samantha’s named Gertrude, Kermit, and Darrin break the same vase as it crashes to the floor and Samantha brings back in one piece as if it was never broken, the vase flying into her hand, much to the surprise of her friend when seeing the vase she had broken a minute earlier only to look away a moment and then see it again in one piece in Sam’s hands. Guest starring: Adam West as an advertising friend -named Kermit - of Darrin’s in Larry Tate’s business with the similar quirks of being known as a playboy, a subtle nod to the 60s show, Batman.

Mental Manipulation:

Love is Blind: used on Gertrude by Samantha to say a drink and it’s contents that Gertrude herself never had or heard about that only Kermit would have thought about.

Levitation:

I Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - levitates a brush with a crook of her finger towards herself so she could brush her hair.

Love is Blind: Levitates potroast,

there are various episodes where she does this with toys, objects, herself and others.

Crossover Manipulation:

Samantha: Samantha and Darrin guest stars in the Flintstones.

How to Stuff a Wild Bikini: Samantha appears with Bwana, set pre-Darrin

Creation:

I Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - Samantha conjures a drink for Darrin as requested by him

There are various episodes where she conjures up objects, people, and clothing via wiggling her nose, crooking her finger, waving a hand/hands and so forth.

Alternate Timeline Creation:

A Is For Aardvark - Samantha is able to grant an alternate timeline for Darrin, one where Samantha gives him the ability to have the basic abilities that she has and one where she doesn’t with her being aware of the two timelines and Darrin oblivious all due to him having his ankle sprained via the butterfly effect of whether or not they locked the door in the middle of the night.

If They Never Met - Able to exist in an alternate timeline in her mother’s creation where Samantha and Darrin never met, as well as alter said timeline if he had met her later in his life with someone else.

What Every Young Man Should Know: Samantha reveals herself as a witch while dating Darrin than where the first episode of the series takes place. Also able to step in and out of said timeline.

Truth Inducement:

Your Witch is Showing: Compels a man with a flick of her wrist to unknowingly reveal that he is actually sabotaging Darrin by telling the truth to Samantha, with Darrin overhearing and knowing that the man is not a warlock and was just power-hungry.

Hypnosis:

It’s Magic: Sam uses it via eye contact with a waiter that automatically brings him to her. a wiggle of her nose later also takes place in setting the tipping food back onto its tray, relating to physical restoration.

Literary Manipulation:

Hansel and Gretel in Samanthaland - Samantha and Tabitha possesses this ability, visual example is Samantha changing the Witch of Hansel and Gretel into a Fairy Godmother with the character still aware of it happening, wanting to change back into itself.

There are probably more but, she does so much.

Weaknesses:

Other Witches (and their spells/how the spells are used etc.)

Magical Illnesses (Specifically for Witches)

Voodoo Jewelry

True Love

STUDY : ZAKURO . tagged by the lovely @lotusword thank you !!

— BASICS.

▸ IS YOUR MUSE TALL / SHORT / AVERAGE ? Average ! Zakuro is 5′2″ which is a fairly normal height for a Japanese woman.

▸ ARE THEY OKAY WITH THEIR HEIGHT ? She really doesn’t think about it much. It doesn’t hinder her in combat due to her ability to leap to great heights but she does notice it when she’s around someone who is much taller than her. She certainly doesn’t like feeling small so she is a bit more irritable around people of above average height.

▸ WHAT’S THEIR HAIR LIKE ? It’s a very deep violet that is usually perceived as black in lowlight. As for the length it varies depending on Zakuro’s form. When she ascends to her divine state her hair seems to grow instantaneously, reaching her upper thighs, but usually it rests at her mid-back. Typically she wears it up in twin tails tied with bows but when she is concealing her ears on a mission she either wears it in one large ponytail or two buns. Wearing it down is a rarity so don’t hold your breath she really only does so when she’s going to sleep.

▸ DO THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HAIR / GROOMING ? A fair amount of time but it’s never excessive. Zakuro takes baths frequently, as for her daily routine she doesn’t typically wear makeup so really she only spends a bit of time tying up her hair. This process takes a bit longer if she is trying to pass as human and needs to comb her hair over her ears and then tie them down.

▸ DOES YOUR MUSE CARE ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE / WHAT OTHERS THINK ? Hanyou do not frequently interact with people outside of the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs. That being said there really is no need for Zakuro to fuss about her appearance. Even so, Zakuro seems to gravitate towards more traditional clothing despite being given the option to dress herself in a more Western style. On special occasions she does clean up well, this is due to the fact that she is a youkai so blending into a crowd is beneficial for her safety and being underdressed only draws more unwanted attention.

— PREFERENCES.

▸ INDOORS OR OUTDOORS ? outdoors, either in the forest or a garden. ▸ RAIN OR SUNSHINE ? rain. ▸ FOREST OR BEACH ? forest. ▸ PRECIOUS METALS OR GEMS ? precious metals. ▸ FLOWERS OR PERFUMES ? flowers. ▸ PERSONALITY OR APPEARANCE ? personality. ▸ BEING ALONE OR BEING IN A CROWD ? being alone. ▸ ORDER OR ANARCHY ? order. ▸ PAINFUL TRUTHS OR WHITE LIES ? painful truths. ▸ SCIENCE OR MAGIC ? magic. ▸ PEACE OR CONFLICT ? peace. ▸ NIGHT OR DAY ? night. ▸ DUSK OR DAWN ? dusk. ▸ WARMTH OR COLD ? warmth. ▸ MANY ACQUAINTANCES OR A FEW CLOSE FRIENDS ? few close friends. ▸ READING OR PLAYING A GAME ? playing a game.

— QUESTIONNAIRE.

▸ WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSE’S BAD HABITS ? She has a short-fuse and can be quick to judge at times. Ultimately, Zakuro has a lot of pent up anger between her abandonment as a child and her isolated upbringing. She did not have a real family till she was brought the ministry and even then she felt like an outsider due to her unexplained powers. She is getting better at trusting others but it’s still difficult for her to let go of her past.

▸ HAS YOUR MUSE LOST ANYONE CLOSE TO THEM ? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED THEM ? Yes, Zakuro actually believed herself to be abandoned by both her mother and father at a young age which is customary where half-spirits are concerned. Most families abandon their children immediately after they are born but Zakuro actually was raised by her mother for a few years before her final disappearance. This instilled a deep-set fear of abandonment within her as well as a constant need to feel accepted by others. As a child she was unwanted and unloved so in a way she is constantly seeking validation whether it be in her abilities as a fighter or helping other girls who were spirited away as well. Of course, later on Zakuro finds out her mother never abandoned her willingly and she was actually a divine oracle from a far-off village. Zakuro being the illegitimate child of her and human man was a child who was never supposed to be born. This realization comes with a whole other set of issues but MOVING ON.

▸ WHAT ARE SOME FOND MEMORIES YOUR MUSE HAS ? The few short years she spent with her mother she cherishes the most but her life after she was brought to the ministry held a great deal of happiness for her as well. While Zakuro still felt isolated from the human world growing up alongside Suskihotaru, Bonbori and Hozuki made her feel less alone as the three girls are all orphaned youjin. Time spent with her guardian, Kushimatsu also are dear memories to her despite how harsh the older fox spirit could be to her. Overall Zakuro has known great unkindness in her life but she can now share that same burden with those that have led similar lives which makes the pain of the past more bearable.

▸ IS IT EASY FOR YOUR MUSE TO KILL ? Yes and no. Zakuro’s job at the ministry revolves around slaying evil spirits and demons which she does without a second thought. When killing humans she might show some hesitation but if their intentions are unsavory she will not stop herself from striking them down.

▸ WHAT’S IT LIKE WHEN YOUR MUSE BREAKS DOWN ? The anger usually hits first. Whether it is anger at someone, something, or most likely herself. She really likes to keep it together, to seem strong and put together but sometimes she cannot keep it all in. She’ will cry, she will yell but when things are more severe the tears flow without end and she needs to ground herself. It can be the touch of a hand or an embrace but when she is in that head space she needs to know she is not alone. Real true turmoil results in ascending to her divine form. Zakuro has no control over that part of herself which is why she can only slip into this state after undergoing a tragedy or something equally as emotionally taxing. In this heightened state she completely shuts down. She is emotionless and the only way she returns to normal is after the power flowing through her runs its course. Although, there is some suspicion that if Zakuro spends too much time in her divine form she will lose all her mortal memories and emotions, completely leaving behind her former self.

▸ IS YOUR MUSE CAPABLE OF TRUSTING SOMEONE WITH THEIR LIFE ? It is possible but it takes time and A LOT of effort. Zakuro is natural suspicious of other peoples’ intentions with her thus it makes it difficult for her to trust much less put her life in someone’s hands. She is not someone that is easy to get to know simply because she is so used to humans wanting nothing to do with her so she automatically assumes the worst. That being said if you do stay by her side long enough Zakuro proves to be an incredible loyal friend. She has a caring nature that is unexpected but truly limitless when it comes to those that she loves.

▸ WHAT’S YOUR MUSE LIKE WHEN THEY’RE IN LOVE ? Oh boy, basically she is a mess ? At least in the beginning stages she is when the feelings are new and she is not really sure what is happening. I don’t think she gets any less snappy around the person she loves if anything they get the full force of her sass because she knows they can take it and dish it back. On the more tender side of things Zakuro is someone who will fight for her lover whether it be on or off the battlefield. She is an extremely passionate person and that aspect of her personality bleeds into her relationships. Despite this she rather her relationships be on the more private side. While there may be a few lingering glances and handholding in public Zakuro prefers to be more intimate when she’s alone with her partner. So in the end not much changes when in love but she is EXTREMELY protective of her significant other regardless of how strong they may be on their own. Her fear of abandonment only heightens when she’s in a relationship so you’ve been warned.

TAGGING: @calamitycutlass , @tigurijiayo , @spacefell , and whoever else wants to !
