You Guys Have Guessed Correctly! The OC In Question Within This Tag Game Is None Other Than Vyctor Griffort,

You guys have guessed correctly! The OC in question within this tag game is none other than Vyctor Griffort, a.k.a The Reaper, a feared supervillain who is number one in the New Omnium government wanted list, and who makes some unexpected allies in the main cast.

Guess the OC Tag!

Okay so I had this tag game idea and I don't know if it has been made before so here we go!

Another character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, this time for Dylan Millihan - Amy's brother.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

Amy's older brother, a very introverted and seriou 23-year old, Dylan was once a medical student, but after their grandmother died leaving them only debt, he had to dropout in order to take legal guardianship of Amy as they moved back to Vinethorn Grove. He resents their grandmother - Edith - greatly, both for the fact she was an absent figure in their life but because her gambling habits ruined his plans for the future. As of the start of the story, Dylan's especially withdrawn from anybody who isn't Amy, both due to the pressure of finding the jobs he needs to pay the bills and keep them afloat (while still paying their grandmother's debt) and because all that the small town of Vinethorn Grove has done since their arrival has been spreading harmful rumors and making his life even more complicated than it already was - especially after a local middle-aged woman, the 50-year-old Mrs Draycott, gets an unhealthy crush on him and, feeling spurned, sets off to destroy his life. When Amy and her newfound friends start investigating the town's bloody mysteries he is initially wary and against the idea of them digging into the Mayor's corrupt little secrets, but upon realizing that the teens would continue the investigation whether he liked it or not, Dylan decides to help them out in the search - if only to protect Amy, and begrudgingly, her friends.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - He/Him Age - 23 Appearance - Tall and handsome, with long wavy hazel hair, which is styled in a way vaguely reminiscent of a mix of the 80s and early 2000s. He favors black button up shirts (and usually doesn't have the patience to button the last 3 to 4 buttons near the collar), simple dark denim jeans, black leather boots and a simple leather braid bracelet that he always wears. His usual expression is a tired scowl, both because he doesn't get nearly as much sleep as he should but also because he is the most introverted person in town and feels uncomfortable interacting with strangers.

Personality Types:

📸Enneagram: 8w9

📸MBTI: ISTJ

Occupation: Former Medical Student (had to drop out because of their grandmother's death + to take guardianship of Amy), now works 3 jobs - security guard at a lake resort, delivery driver and warehouse loader

Place of Birth: Vinethorn Grove (moved away to a big city when he was thirteen, after their parents died, moved back into town - now 23 - along with his younger sister, Amy)

Orientation: Straight

🎞️ Personal Life 🎞️

Family:

Amy Millihan - Younger Sister and Legal Ward

Status: Alive

Age: 16

Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Paranormal Investigator & Enthusiast

Relationship: Good, (but deep down he worries that he isn't good enough/thinks he is failing her and feels their relationship isn't the same as it was when they were kids and wrongfully thinks its his fault, which leads to him being withdrawn and a bit combative about his feelings)

Laura Millihan (neè Hartwell) & Jeremy Millihan - Parents

Status: Deceased (have been for a decade now) Ages: (Laura) 35 at the time of death, (Jeremy) 36 at the time of death; Occupations: (Laura) Civil Engineer & Interior Designer, (Jeremy) Veterinarian and Artist Cause of Death: Undisclosed Freak Accident Relationship: Good but short-lived

Edith Millihan - Paternal Grandmother, Former Guardian

Status: Deceased (recently) Age: 80 Occupation: Widow (inherited her husband's fortune - as he had been a wealthy businessman), Compulsive Gambler Cause of Death: Heart Attack Relationship: Bad (Edith was an absent and toxic grandmother and often left Dylan to raise Amy when the two were kids because the old woman used to spend the entire day at the casino + was strongly emotionally abusive to him growing up because he reminded her of her late son and she couldn't handle that. She also spent all their money - including both of the siblings' college funds - gambling, which Dylan greatly resents her for)

Best Friends/Allies:

Christine Nespor:

Status: Alive Age: 22 Occupation: Freelance Artist, Artisan/DIY-er, Former Wanderer, Aspiring Poet, works from home + works at a local craft store as well Relationship: Good - at first Dylan was wary of her, as he is of any strangers, and thought she was 'a lot'/overwhelming due to her extroverted nature, but as they got to know each other they became best friends and love interests.

🎞️ Likes & Dislikes 🎞️

Hobbies/Interests:

Watching horror movies with Amy - whenever he's not too tired or worried about something too pressing.

Driving around on his old Chevy, especially to clear his mind

Drinking coffee, especially espressos or cappucinnos. He drinks a lot of coffee, by the way, probably more than it would be healthy.

Being alone with his thoughts, just chilling out, preferably somewhere quiet where no strangers will come to bother him

Swimming in the lake

Shadowboxing, when he has the time

Reading medieval fantasy books, especially gritty ones, or detective thriller stories of the vintage kind

Playing puzzle games on his phone, while listening to folk pop

Additional Favorites (extra list here):

Music: Folk Pop, Indie/Alternative Pop

Person (his 'comfort people'): Mostly only Amy, but after he gets closer to Christine I'd say she becomes one of his favorite people as well.

Candy: Coffee Toffees or Mint Bubblegum

Place: 1. His room, 2. Their Lakehouse, (much later) 3. Christine's Treehouse Home

Fictional Creature: Cerberus, Dragons

Scent: Coffee, Shaving Cream and Dry Leaves

General Dislikes/Hates:

Mrs Draycott. For gods sake this woman is the human incarnation of the devil, she makes his life a living hell - both when she was "infatuated" with him (literally stalking him) and especially during her vengeful advances after he rejects her. She's the bane of his existence and there's few people he hates more.

Being unable to make ends meet or pay the bills, or especially, having to deal with the debt collectors that come knocking on his door.

People who try to scratch his Chevy or who almost bump into it with their own cars while being reckless.

Blackmail and people who try to use his insecurities against him.

Anything that puts Amy in danger or which makes him feel he has somehow failed her, that is his worst nightmare.

Memories of his grandmother - they always make him angry and upset, especially since her debt is a constant reminder of everything he couldn't achieve because of her and the dreams he had to leave behind.

Spending money trivially.

Being late to something important - both job wise and in his personal life.

Strangers who pry into his life and who make snide comments that aren't welcome - or worse, who judge them and tell him what he should 'do instead'. Nothing irks him out more.

Annoying noises/too much noises when he has a headache.

Having to handle too much at the same time when he's in a bad mood.

Let me know if you'd like to be added!

you gotta understand that when I call my OCs "my little man" or "my little guys," I'm imagining this

they are two sauce packets tall and yelling at me for putting them in situations

WIP Drinking Game!

Thanks for the tag, @oh-no-another-idea (here)! Let's go with with Scrapyard Boys and What Lurks In The Hollow!

Scrapyard Boys: Take a Shot When...

Valen says more than one swear word in the same sentence

Adahm brutally murders someone until they're shreds and then flips the switch immediatly to be the most loving brother to Taylen in the most jarring way possible to anyone else around them.

Riley scares everyone with his freaky intellect.

Saoirse gets uncomfortable around mentions of fire or doesn't know how to feel about being friends with a fire mutant.

Rhys and Gwyn make their half-brother Adrien age at least ten years spiritually every time they pull off another insane shenanigan.

Luke has more street cred than most hardened criminals

Max blows out someone's eardrums and/or brains out with her scream powers and then panickedly calls her dad to help her deal with the aftermath with a movie night.

Keilly wonders how TF she got stuck with this group of fucked up weirdos as her friends and is Done With Life at the fact her powers make her the designated healer.

Karima is the most neurotic yet most efficient sniper alive <3

What Lurks In The Hollow: Take a Shot When...

Dylan worries about money and has a pessimistic/Grumpy As Hell outlook to anything in life

Liam & Savvy spend the entire day at the arcade and/or possibly get into a brawl with the local bullies right after

Amy feels creeped out by the woods and the town

The Millhan siblings have a horror movie night or make a horror movie reference

Conner makes cowboy analogies and speaks with a heartwarming sourthern drawl

Savvy has a panic attack and hides it under her temper like a fucked up pressure cooker

Erin just wants to have one normal day but the universe says NOPE ✨

Mrs. Draycott is a creepy stalker that deserves to rot in hell

Some random townsfolk says something ominous, eerie or out of place behind a doll-like smile like nothing is happening

Christine indulges in chaos and generally just lives in her own little world

Zach is listening to music on his old headphones and bopping his head to it

The ghost kids make you want to cry and give them a hug and murder the Mayor just like he killed them---

Dylan doesn't know how to express his feelings and would essentially win the Emotionally Stunted Award for the year

Something really traumatizing happens and Indie is just having the time of her life

@wyked-ao3 and OPEN TAG

What is the most common trauma you give your characters? The one that most/many of them have. For example abandonment issues, survivor's guilt, something along those lines

Thank you so much for the ask, @an-indecisive-nerd!!!

Sorry for the late response btw - these past two weeks were really tough on me due to the fact I was anemic AND had a really bad flu, but now that I'm 100% back to health I'm ready to catch up with my asks and tags lol

I think a few of the most common traumas my characters face in my books are the following (mostly because I'm a whump enjoyer but also because those things are really plot relevant too):

Familial Loss - Most of my Main Characters have suffered some kind of familial loss in their past. A lot of them don't have their parents and if they have the good one is usually dead and the bad one is hunting them. Examples of this in my stories include: the Millihan siblings from WLITH lost both of their parents at a young age, Savvy Hahn from WLITH lost her half-brother to a brutal kidnapping when she was six, Adahm Ryker from Scrapyard Boys lost his childhood best friend when he was 12, Kaelan Brimcaste from Arrows of Nightfall lost his older brother and only guardian he ever had to an execution, and so on.

Poverty and Oppression- Many if not most of my MCs have suffered poverty in their past. In Grim City Chronicles Willem and his brother are street urchins in a Victorian Era-inspired city, Vince became a common prostitute to pay the bills and his cousin Peggy is a thief, and Ilya is a conman renowned for swindling nobles. Most of the characters from Scrapyard Boys suffered from various forms of poverty plus they live in a cyberpunk dystopian regime that is infamous for its oppresive and murderous tendencies. In Supernova Initiative, before Jack and Cassie Tithus became the richest and most wanted intergalactic thieves in the galaxy, they were just common street urchins in a backwater moon that was swamped by crime of all kinds. Even in WLITH - though NOT to the same extent as the other books, since the MCs in this book do have some stability - the Millihan siblings aren't exactly well off and Dylan often has to have 3 jobs just to pay the bills and settle their grandmother's debts that are still in their name.

Torture and/or Major Injuries: Many, many, many characters in my medieval high fantasy stories (Arrows of Nightfall, Realms of Loss, The Last Wrath, Crooked Fable, etc) AND in my science fiction stories (Scrapyard Boys, Plague of Tomorrow, Supernova Initiative) at one point or another of the story undergo some form of torture or continuous injury at the hands of their enemies.

Abandonment Issues & Betrayal - Though not as prevalent as the other traumas above, a lot of the cast from many of my WIPs has some form of abandonment issues. Erin Niemand from WLITH has very much unresolved abandonment issues due to her mother blatantly walking out on the family after cheating on Erin's dad. Adrien Rosetrom from Scrapyard Boys was literally kicked out from home and abandoned by his grandparents when he was 15. Victor Moreau in Grim City Chronicles was betrayed and shunned by his best friends when he was turned into a vampire at the age of 20, and lost his son to a monster hunter his so-called 'friends' sent after them a few years later.

Sexual Harassment: To a lesser extent (this time probably as some form of catharsis for my inner child 😭lol, but I'm fine btw) but still there, a few, specific characters in my WIPs have suffered some form of harassment or even, unfortunately, assault. Dylan Millihan in WLITH is stalked by a 50-year-old cougar (Mrs. Adelaide Draycott) who is disturbingly enamoured with him and wants to get the 23-year-old to fall in love with her or at least sleep with her at all costs, which she luckily fails at everytime but is still harassment. Adrien Rosetrom (Scrapyard Boys) has been catcalled, received inappropriate touches/groping or even snide comments from multiple men in clubs throughout the years due his job as a stripper - and the same applies to Vince in Grim City Chronicles but to a worse extent. (Also in Scrapyard Boys) It is implied Adahm Ryker suffered some form of assault by Dr. Gladys from the PHANTOM Labs when he was a teen, though any details are unclear. In the same WIP Karima Sallow offhandedly mentions that Caroline Tarych and her husband James both had a grooming-like attitude towards her before the Tarychs massacred House Sallow.
