Tell us about your OCs, the inspiration behind them, and what shapes them.

When my four main OCs were first conceived, I was under a lot of Getter Robo influence in terms of creativity, having just finished watching the Getter Robo Armageddon and Neo Getter Vs. Shin Getter OVAs. My namesake OC is the one that went through the most thought and creative development. At first I imagined him as your average hot-blooded mech pilot, always random and over-the-top like so many pilots we've come to know and love (or hate). However, I just couldn't keep him in character no matter how hard I tried. How someone become the friend of all if he's such a jack@$$? So I decided to change that, opting for a personality that a lot of friends in the creative community liked, that being more child-like and empathetic. I remember drawing him all to time, sometimes as a mech himself, sometimes as a tribute to the AVGN, until I finally came to a hoodie pants and beanie look. Adding some equipment as a tribute to Mazinger Z like the jetpack and the rocket-guantlets, and we have the image above. Probably the most important of my OC in terms of story, Jericho also went through a crapload of development. At first I imagined him as being more of Agai's BFF, instead of his legal guardian, shaving off eight years from what would eventually be his age at the start of the story. I also had a short backstory on him working in an originally redneck convenience store. (Uncle Stubby's Liquor Ammo & Tackle!) All of that was eventually scrapped. Instead of it being his recent past, Jericho is more-or-less top dog of a self-defence force by the beginning of the story, the convenience store being farther into the past. In terms of personality, Jericho was originally a fanservice character, sexually undecided. (It was a friend's idea) But once a friend decided to give him a trigger-happy GF, I felt I had no choice but to give him some guts or at least less comic-relief lines. Somewhere down the line I decided to make him a Kamen Rider with a mecha motif, giving a little more for him to do. I have a bit of an unhealthy addiction to other people's OCs, (by which I mean I immediately become a fan as soon as I see an image) so I look forward to other posts, especially from Zero!

Well... I have Penny. -^.^-
She started off as "hints" from my story "Tremorton" yes I made this title before I joined this site, I was not trying to be a kiss up to the forum! XD
Her name was on purpose to rhyme with Jenny for a couple of reasons. Her relationship to the show characters was that she was Brad's sister. Little sister. Brad tried everything to protect her but she does pass at five, he being 10.
Well, the family ends up having another kid, a son named Tuck and for his sake, they don't ever mention it but I have kind of "filled" in that gap as to the reason that Tuck and Brad are always together, that Brad is afraid the same thing will happen to Tuck as Penny.
Kind of Morbid but Penny was really a sweet kid. For some odd reason I have grown an attachment for having her as a character, I even contemplated if I wanted having her NOT Brad's sis so I could have her alive and she would have a crush on Tuck but whatever... not much of a development on her but i feel bad that almost right after I made her as a character I decided that she was already going to not be alive XD
I personally would love to hear from others of there characters as well.. -^.^-

Fie airy aka Flare had gone alteration I made her highly skilled because she is involved with Sheldon pirate days. She is considered the baby sister to him. She is overwhelmingly attractive since her species are supposed to be like that. See episode stage freight. Her insertion is a possibility since the topic Sheldon time in space. I have to ask is her outfit any good I thought it seem overdone of her wearing hoody and pink sunglasses. Does make her look like conceited super villain? Should I have gone with a mask? I have to also ask has the name Flare seems overuse. I think i made her name a triple entendre.

So...I got Koith KM-08...
He first stepped out of my mind when I trying to think about the previous MLaaTR episodes. Accidentally, a small spark of light step out of my head, and Voila! Koith appeared.
At the first time, he has no clear name and even codename. But due to playing Navyfield, I just thought about giving him a code name "KM" is the short one of "Kriegsmarine - Nazi Reich Navy" and the number "08" is related to "Strength". But after a long time, I decided to change it into "Kriegsmaschine". And I'm also never think about painting him, just being like XJ-9, right? (He's her big bro, of course!). Just when I released "The Last Soldier" (Fanfics about Koith and Jenny), KM-08 was repainted into black and red as the original...

I honestly don't know where a lot of them went. I know a number of them are, *ahem* passed, but did they all just die off like an extinct species?

Zero would say:
"I will always love Tremorton. This city has given many of us a beginning. It is here where we found ourselves and became the heroes we were meant to be. Even though we have not seen many of our allies and friends in recent times; I am confident that they are out there, where they are needed, making the world a better place."

You know something surprising I found there is a movie called Fire Maidens from Outer Space. It was use in Mystery Science Theater 3000. It seems they were on on the 13th moon from Jupiter. I guess I should use that as homage. There is one character of mine I feel needs a redesign. Rollrunt first design I based on the pokemon as sandshrew but I think it looks too much like it/him/her. His second design does not make him look small. His powers are based on Marvels Speedball. Surprisingly there is an aerospace startup company called Armadillo Aerospace. Maybe we should give links to our character so one has search thru Wakeman’s labs Flaretremorton.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=creativity&action=display&thread=797Rollrunt tremorton.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=creativity&action=display&thread=1033

Ookay.... ... My OCs....well...I'll start on the MLAATR related ones...I create to many... Anyway. First up on my list of OC's of mine is Nerrisha Mecha. Started out as 'XJ-E', (Xtreme Juvenile Evil?!?!) a re-color of the pilot episode XJ-9. Someone pointed this out and I got pretty pissed, at myself. And I went to my table and started drawing on my now destroyed drawing diary. Experimented with some things, said yes, said no, and finally ended up with a rather original design that isn't too off to her re-colored one. (Colors and basic shape.) I buffed her up and made her slightly taller. After that I sprited it. This sprite was used for a fake blueprint that made no sense. img854.imageshack.us/img854/5461/nr5plans.pngAfter a long time I re-did that sprite with better shading, but everything else was pretty much left untouched. Her story was left unchanged. Drilly: Drilly is pretty much a undeveloped character who is a friendly but eager working robot, and is always happy to work, but will always ask for help when it is needed. He's slightly based of Grounder from AOSTH, but it is not that clear. Determina: (Determina and Ness respectively) Err...This little robot was pretty much a "Small Ninja Jenny' by Plans Neon/Neon Router. She was a prototype for Nerrisha Mecha, but her design was re-used for Ness, who is rather alike to Determina on a larger, finished scale. She has the "Whiney spoilt child" appearance and voice, but really wanted to prove herself as a good fighter, getting into random fights to prove this. Of course, her attacks wouldn't hurt a cat, and would probably be a fair 'battle'. Ness: Ness is a normal sized Ninja Robot by Plans Neon, made to fight, and has a rather large self-confidence, which usually ends up to her downfall against characters she has no chance of beating. She is usually the "Villian" character and the one to be thrown about by strong characters, but puts up a very good melee fight. She has a welded black hat, a mix between a stereotypical Chinese hat and a army helmet. Caz: Caz? Oh, he's just a scardey robot failure, originally meant to be a fighting robot, but the personality was glitched due to unknown reasons, causing him to be afraid of everything, and rather soft. Not very developed as a character.

When I thought of Handel I thought of Stephen king’s Carrie but I learned that there is a famous German composer named George Fredric Handel. I guess I found another hobby for her. Handel link: tremorton.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=creativity&thread=974&page=1I think I have to delete another character or alter him completely and alter my story. I have nor gone to detail only stating his name. I was going to make him a combination of two games Battletoads and Blaster Master. I think should just make him another Sheng Xiao. It will be less back story so I can focus on other characters.

I wanna take some time to talk about my personal favorite OC Graham Stern aka Salem Redding. But before I tell you that story I have to explain his origin: *inhales* Graham was the evolvolution of the name Garm Stern, a character I created for the Role Playing Game Dark Heresy. There have been multiple spellings for Graham's name but the most common is the correct way. His original story was he was a pawn in an Evil Inquisitor's plan to create a new inquisitorial branch. Garm's memory was surpressed making him a human key and the final piece to the doomsday device the Inquisitor was arming. Several years later I introduced Garm to the Tremorton where I changed his name and back story in the RP Hidden Agenda's. He was now Graham Stern, surviving member of Skyway Patrol's Omega "sins" squad. The spec-ops team Noreen Wakemen belonged to. Each of the seven members where code-named one of the seven deadly sins, Nora's being Pride and Graham's being Envy. In the Hidden Agenda's Cannon, Graham had a brother, Samuel who was also Nora's former husband, revealing Nora as a widow and Graham as Jenny's estranged uncle. Outside of the Hidden Agenda's cannon, he still belonged to the seven sins and was horribly scarred when his home was raided by sky way patrol in attempt to silence all members of the team. In the process Skyway officer Jon Uraiha kills former Skyway member and wife to Graham Halo Grendel, who is killed by the same grenade that maimed Graham. Nora and Graham are the only survivors, and Nora (in Hidden Agendas Samuel as well) heals Graham by giving him bionics including an artificial lung, bionic eye and robotic arm that he openly hates. It is revealed that Halo was pregnant and Graham swore revenge on Skyway and all those in charge. All RP's he's been involved with he has without hesitation cut a bloody swathe through the ranks of Skyway Patrol as he was an elite killer. In appearance, Graham wears a brown trench coat and brown fedora over a classy shirt, tie and slacks combo that steathily cover up his horrific scars and bionics. He additionally wears green goggles that hide his eyes completely and leather gloves to hide his bionics. His only noticeable bionic is the massive rebreather that is attached the his artificial lung that he must wear at all times lest he lose vital lung capacity and suffocate to death. He can take it off temporarily to eat and such be he does not do this very often as it reveals his robotics and horrific burns. Graham carries a personal arsenal of weapons from the old Skyway the most significant known as a Redeemer, a hand held shot gun with a six-gun rotating chamber that fires silver-dollar sized, armor penetrating slugs. He also excells in close combat byusing his two butterfly knives that he uses with equal grace and deadly accuracy. His personallity is generally unlikable, so much so that Jenny actually punches him, unknowning of his robotic side at the time. He is openly offensive and condisending, whilst also showing great skill and wisdom making him a very nessecary evil. He is far from good, acting as a space smuggler when he is not hunting skyway aboard his ancient Skyway Gunship the Endeavor . However his actions are not without reason, for every waking moment is one step closer to avenging his fallen brother wife and unborn child. Once characters understand his story and he is aware of their understanding he tends to show a softer more loving side that has long since callused over due to a life time of pain and misey. There are hints in the Hidden Aggenda's cannon that he is Misty's biological father, though even asthe writing I cannot confirm these as truenor false at this time. His character is heavily inspired by Clint Eastwood's earlier action roles, primarily Dirty Harry along with the Gunslinger from Stephen King's Dark Tower novels. Graham has since been reincarnated as Salem Redding, one of the main characters from my own personal project that I refuse to release information on just yet. I dont have any available artwork right now because Im still working on a final design for him, so here's a picture of a cat. Nibbles Out
