3. How Did Your Oc Discover Themself? Did Something Cause Them To Question, Or Did They Always Know?8.

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know? 8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons? 9. Are there cultural or lore specific aspects to their identity? If applicable, does their species affect it?

^ for Selená and Altsoba, and also

20. Have your ocs helped you in self discovery? How?

Thank you, @rotspeaker ! Also sorry this took me a while to post, I didn’t realize it was still in my drafts until I looked… :/ flop

For Selená, she discovered herself when she was a bit older, around her early to mid twenties. She knew she always liked boys, but the concept of liking girls was a bit different. But she definitely felt some sort of attraction. She just didn’t know what it meant.

Yara is pretty transphobic, unfortunately. We have a Transgender FTM character, Paolo de la Vega, and his country refuses to accept him for who is his… so, you would figure that applies to the rest of the LGBTQ+ community in Yara. Selená would never struggle with her identity, but she’s afraid of being ostracized and hated on because of it. But regardless of her fear, she’s proud, and she will happily fight for her rights.

Altsoba has always known who she was without question. She’s attracted to everyone regardless of gender, and she’ll never change.

She’s never had any struggles, and you can imagine nobody caring about one’s sexual orientation when Caesar’s Legion is killing people left and right. But I believe there is an issue with homosexual soldiers in the NCR? I’m not entirely sure, I would have to look it up and do some digging to figure that out.

For 20, I feel like they’ve definitely helped me in accepting myself for who I am. They encourage me to embrace myself and allow me to love myself. All of them have a small bit of me within them, wether it’s a physical trait or a part of my personality. That’s gotta be the best thing about having so many OC’s <3

As for number 9, no. I never actually considered it before.

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC? for all four! or for Deborah, if that's A Lot lol

Thank you @aynrandslashfiction ! And I can do all four no problem!

Deborah’s most significant change is her whole role as the Deputy. Nowadays I would describe her as an anti-hero, wherein back then she was your “Stop the cult and save Hope County!” traditionally heroic OC. She’s not a very good person but she’s trying.

I think she would fit well in a Fallout: New Vegas AU, where she’s the Courier Six and her brothers lead Caesar’s Legion… Joseph’s Legion?? Very interesting concept.

Selená changed a lot when I brought her back from the dead lol. But like Deborah, her role changed by become Jacob’s childhood lover + Dani Rojas’ mother. Canon is pretty much gone with her in the picture, and I like that.

I think a God/Goddess AU would do her well. She’s very close to Aphrodite when it comes to her character, and Jacob is obviously the God of War.

Altsoba is a little more morally grey, very neutral karma. I wanted her character to be more realistic in a post-nuclear warfare world so her old personality got scrapped:

A TLOU AU would be good. She could totally fit into a zombie apocalypse setting.

And for Bleuette? I’m now shipping her with Butch (and sometimes Amata). Other than that she’s still the same old Lone Wanderer.

Her AU would be one where the bombs never dropped, everything is normal, and her and Butch are enemies to lovers 100k words slow burn rivals.

Tattoo Tag & Musical Tag

I was tagged by @simplegenius042 for this one! I’m just gonna do Selená since I don’t show her enough love, even though I should since she’s my OC kid lol.

Tagging (and sorry if you were already tagged); @deputyash @strafethesesinners @ladyoriza @rotspeaker @alwayssunnyinedensgate and anyone else who wants to do this! Don’t be shy y’all <3.

Does your OC have any tattoos? If not, do they want any?

Selená has one tattoo!

How does your OC act while they’re getting a tattoo? Do they grit their teeth and deal with the pain, do they need to hold onto something while getting inked, etc.?

Her first tattoo wasn’t horrible, but she did have to hold onto Jacob as she got it done, and she did shed a tear. Her pain tolerance is pretty weak in comparison to his. In the end it was totally worth it.

Would your OC ever get a face or hand tattoo?

A face tattoo is a definite no from her, but a hand tattoo wouldn’t be so bad. Thing is, she works as a politician in her Far Cry 6 era, so it would look bad on her part have visible tattoos, such as on her hand(s). Especially on the face.

List any of their tattoos/prospective tattoos below. Feel free to add any meaning they may have.

She has a portrait of (a way younger) Jacob on her left arm, like Joseph’s one of his wife Faith. Unlike his though, it’s in full color. Selená wanted something to remember Jacob by, should they ever split or he die at war, not just in pictures and memories. Also to show off her love to him.

She would like to get a Taino tribal tattoo (she has Taino/Arawak ancestry!) along her entire lower right arm as a nod to her heritage, and perhaps something related to Oluwa on her thigh. If she didn’t work in politics, she’d definitely get the flag of Yara done on the side of her neck. She loves her country but it is a huge hot mess lol.

peak authorship is being able to associate every single one of your characters with at least one if not multiple taylor swift songs.

i absolutely love the rock version of The World’s Gonna End Tonight

Edit: There’s also a little John fanart created by the same artist!!

There aren’t any watermarks on either of the pictures, so someone could easily say it’s theirs and take it. I tried using Google, and sadly nothing came up. I’m not even sure if the artist is even on Tumblr :( Whoever they are, they have fantastic art skills.

GUYS I NEED HELP—

I found this on Pinterest, basically it’s a fanart of little Jacob. Thing is I have no idea who the original artist is. If y’all could possibly help find them, that would be great.
