;; So, here’s the deal. I want to make roleplay blogs for some OCs of mine, but I’m not sure which to choose. I’m only going to make one blog for right now, and I need help choosing which OC muse to go with. So.. Let’s try this.

https://strawpoll.com/223g913

Here’s a poll for you guys to vote on the OC muse I should pick. I’ve got two muses each from three different stories. Those stories being; Down the Rabbit Hole, Beyond the Rainbow, and The Second Star. Each one is my own take on classic stories (Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan), now with a steampunk spin! And below the cut here, are some short descriptions of the characters, to help you guys know what I’m talking about.

Joker (Down the Rabbit Hole)

Joker is an outcast in his society, and a resident born of Wonderland. He was born disfigured, and therefore, was given the name and the role of Joker, making him the world’s scapegoat, the one on whom all bad things are blamed, and the one who the rest of Wonderland can be united against, so the peace of the world may be maintained. He’s rude, sarcastic, and generally rather grumpy, but he owns up to and accepts the role he was given, and says that ‘if they expect me to be bad, well.. why shouldn’t I give them what they want?’

Klein (Down the Rabbit Hole)

The Mad Hatter. Klein is another resident of Wonderland, and it is a rule of his role that no matter where he might be, if the opportunity arises, he must seize the chance to have a tea party, right then and there. So, it should come as no surprise that he always has a teapot on him, as well as teacups, tea bags, and a means to boil water. He’s quite often more than a little mad, and isn’t always the most coherent individual, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t constantly aware of everything happening around him. He most certainly is, and actually is almost hyper-aware. It’s just dulled by his perceived madness that’s part of his role.

Weston (Beyond the Rainbow)

You all know of the Wicked Witch of the West, but.. What if things were different? What if she.. had been a he? That would be Weston. The Wicked Wizard of the West. For generations, the Four Witches of Oz have chosen their successors, and at the end of their lives, they pass on their power to those chosen few. And for generations, it has always been to females, and always to fellow Elfric Ozians like themselves, the most prominent race among the residents of Oz. However, when the previous Witch of the West found an orphaned boy in the woods and rescued him from death, everything changed. She raised him in secret, and when her time came to pass on her powers, she gave them to him. Now, Weston is hated and feared by all other Ozians, because he is a Wizard rather than a Witch, and he is not of their kind. He is an Uldred Ozian, a race believed to be born of dark forces.

Hawke (Beyond the Rainbow)

Hawke is but a humble scarecrow living out in the cornfields on the Eastern side of the land of Oz. Or is he? As of recently, he’s encountered a young girl named Dorothy (who goes by ‘Thea’), and has joined up with her in a journey to get to the Emerald City. While he’s not the smartest individual all the time, he’s certainly smart enough to be sarcastic and cynical, and now that they’ve got Gizmo the Tin Golem and Leon the Cowardly Lion with them, well.. He’s not exactly thrilled by them and won’t hesitate to give his two-cents about the whole thing. All in all, he likes to complain, but Hawke has a good heart where it counts. Well.. Sort of. He is made of straw, after all.

Tinker (The Second Star)

Tinker A. Bell is one of the minute residents of Neverland, affectionately known as a pixie (not a fairy, mind you, it’s a common mistake). You may think you know who Tinker Bell is, but this one is a bit different. After all, in this case, she.. is a he. Yes, this pixie is a boy, and he certainly gets into his fair share of mischief. He likes to pretend he’s a voice of reason and keeps Peter out of trouble, but.. The truth is, he enjoys a good prank as much as the next pixie. Sure, he can get a bit fed up with Peter’s often reckless, and sometimes even dangerous, behavior.. But he will often play along. Of course, it does help that Tinker can use his own magic to make himself the same size as a normal human, but.. He usually can’t keep it up for very long. Still, he’s Peter’s near constant companion, but now that there’s a young lady in the mix.. Tinker’s gotten worried.

James Hook (The Second Star)

James Hook is, as you might expect, the Captain of the pirate ship Jolly Roger, and a resident of Neverland. He’s clever, he’s sarcastic, and he has a grudge against Peter Pan. Rumor has it that the pair of them were once friends, and had an alliance of sorts even. But whatever may have happened between them, which likely includes the cause of Hook’s missing hand, they are certainly not allied now, and are often at each other’s throats. Of course, due to the fact that Peter did actually feed Hook’s severed hand to a crocodile, the pirate captain is often followed by the beast and now remains absolutely terrified of all crocodiles, falling into a nearly paralytic fit of terror any time one comes close.

Wait a moment. This guy was no fool. His words made that clear enough. He wasn’t at all fooled by Titus’s ruse, he knew exactly what he’d been after.

“You know, you’re not so dumb as you look.” He remarked. “You know exactly what I’m up to, don’t you..”

Nothing..? Damn it. Either he was smart not to carry anything on him, or he was just totally broke and actually had nothing.

“Oh, sorry. Just a misstep.” He smiled, chuckling a bit and tapping the eyepatch over his left eye. “Can’t always see everything with this old thing, you know? Anyway, sorry about that. I should get going.”

        🔥 Right. Could’ve fooled anyone but him. “ I see. Then please try be more careful           on your way, mister. And where you place your hands. “ He added the matter on lower                                   ony but made sure his strange encounter with the guy heard him well.

“Playing, huh?” The little cub wanted to play? Titus could see him eyeing his tail, and he smiled, batting at him a bit again, circling around him and waving his tail in front of the cub. “Well, then. Come on, little one. Let’s play then!” He had nothing better to do after all, so why not play with the little one. It was a nice change from his usual activities after all.

Lazing about in the sun was all well and good, but he was bored. And a bored cheetah, meant lots of energy to spare. But as a little lion cub came tumbling, and then waddling, into the tall grass, Titus’s ears perked forward, curiosity filling his being. A swish of his tail and he was off, padding through the grasses toward the cub. Such a little thing.. Reaching him, Titus pawed gently at the tiny one, smiling and hopping a bit, tail swaying back and forth.

“Well, well. What’s a little guy like you doing out here, eh?”

Simba was enjoying himself rather immensely so far. He’d already found a few bugs, a mouse, and now a giant spotted thing that was poking him with a paw. Raising his own paw, the toddler poked him back. “I play!” he giggled, spotting the cheetah’s swaying tail. Running towards it, the cub watched for a few moments before attempting to bite it, since he was teething. Obviously he’d missed a few times since it was swinging much higher than he could reach. When it swung by yet again, the cub sat watching it. “Dat mine?”

The tiny cub had finally awoken from his slumber, quietly looking around before rising to his feet. Already a month into life, and Simba was walking to a small extent even speaking quite a few words here and there. Wanting to go outside and play, the youngster tumbled down the last leg of the pathway that led out into the open. Everything looked so huge! 

“Bye Bye Wock.” he whispered. The little prince took his first steps into the grasslands with a smile on his face wondering what kind of adventure he’d have and of course, who he’d end up meeting friend wise today.

“Sharin’ names is a tricky business for someone like me, but sure. Why not. Not like I’ve got any reason not to trust you, yeah? And I’m not one for really hiding anyway, after all.” He smiled. Sharrkan, huh. A name he could remember, and sure, he could admit there was a pretty handsome face attached to it. And yet.

“Titus Ram. Pretty damn good-lookin’ myself, and not half bad in a scrap either.” His name was sure to be known by now. He wasn’t one to hide, and he’d been becoming pretty infamous as a master thief, after all.

“I’ve got nowhere better to be, so why not.” Titus smirked, watching the other curiously, one leg crossed over the other. He had been hanging around to get his hand on some quick gold, but.. Well. Maybe this would be rewarding in its own way too. “You got a name you wanna share with me, then, Mister Comedic Genius?”

“Only if you’re willing to share yours, buddy.” How NICE of him to already give him a little nickname of his own ― adding it to the list of those he’d happily accumulated over the years.

“Locals call me Sharrkan ― but my friends call me Sharr. I’m a pretty attractive guy lookin’ to have a good time, for the most part. The only thing you gotta know is that I’m a damned good fighter.”

“Of course you can.” He shook his head, watching the other. “Or you could just steal all of them and be way better off.” He smirked, chuckling a bit to himself. Stealing was easy, especially for him and especially at this point. Leaning over a bit to peer at the choices, he then turned back to his current conversational companion.

“If you want, I could just steal them for you. I know a few tricks to get past these guys.”

’ it’s not illegal, just come on. ’

Aside from being a rather CONVINCING sort of fellow, what keeps them ( marginally ) apart was the fact that he’d still held on to that minuscule thread of common sense ; the little VOICE in his head that often sounds an awful lot like one of the Eight Generals, begging him to at least THINK before he did something utterly ( and inconceivably ) idiotic.

“I don’t know…” Staring blankly in the shop window, Sharrkan had made a mental calculation of all the coins ( which weren’t much ) shuffling around in his pocket. “…I can’t buy two chains of the same color just because I don’t like all the others…right? That’s being greedy, ain’t it?”

I FOUND THIS IN SOMEONE'S RULES, AND IT'S RELEVANT

I like to know my writing partner. This isn’t always necessary, and if you’re not the sort of person who tries to get chummy with their roleplaying buddies, that’s absolutely fine, but in my experience, the plots and characters that last the longest are the ones with the players that I can message at 3 in the morning with an idea without feeling like I’m bothering them.
