OOC Meme!
The player sez: OMG! Has it really been a year since something was posted in this journal? O_o
After running across an OC meme like this from Atom Bomb on DA, I thought it would be more suited to put it in the LJ of the character in question. ;D
> BASICS <
+ What's your character's name? +
Vertigo
+ How old is he? +
Hm. About 6 million Earth years old.
+ Is your OC a boy or girl? +
His voice sounds masculine, therefore...
+ What's his race? +
Cybertronian
> APPEARANCE <
+ If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he get? +
Being noticed is something he tries not to do, especially when in plane mode. If he is in robot mode, it's usually when he's around other TFs on Cybertron. Or he has no other choice.
+ Is your character considered normal in his own world? +
More or less, yes. The only thing that may be odd is that he decided to not be a Decepticon, even though he's a seeker. He works as a spy for hire now, for either side.
+ What would be his most recognizable feature(s)? +
His alt mode attributes, such as his long wings. Since Vertigo orginally was assigned to do more recon work than fighting, his earth alt mode became that of a spy plane instead of a fighter jet when he was sent to earth.
+ Would you consider your OC as attractive? +
He'd like to think so, even though he's not in the market for a mate.
> PERSONALITY <
+ Temper? +
He's pretty level-headed for the most part. It takes a lot to really make him mad.
+ Does your character ever get depressed? +
Usually about the fact he doesn't have his Cybertronian seeker design anymore. ;p
+ Leader or Follower? +
Depends on who had hired him for his services at the time.
+ What is the main aspect of his personality? +
He tends to be mysterious.
> HISTORY <
+ Does your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive? +
Other seeker kin on Cybertron that he had gone to the Academy with when he was fresh off the assembly line. But he later severed his close connections with them when he secretly decided to no longer be a Decepticon.
+ Has he encountered any traumatizing events? +
The straw that broke the camels back... and what caused him to become a nuetral. After being caught up in a messy battle with his more delicate alt mode, he decided he didn't like the idea of being useless cannon fodder, sent out to die for every selfish Decepticon whim.
+ What was probably the best time in his life so far? +
Learning about Earth's Asian culture, and many of the parallels their martial arts had with Cybertronian. He still can't get over that! ;p
> ROMANCE <
+ Single? +
Yes.
+ Has your OC developed any romantic relationships? +
He's flirted some on occassion, but hasn't been serious about it.
+ Virgin? +
He wonders why that matters. *snrks*
+ Does your character like flirting? +
Only if his job to gain info requires it.
> SYMBOLISM <
+ What animal would you associate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!) +
An Asian dragon doesn't count? :( Hrm... some sort of song bird, I guess.
+ Element? +
Air, sky. :)
> SHOWING THE LOVE <
+ Do you draw your character? +
I am teh lazy... I have just a prelim sketch, and another rough draft of him I have yet to finish. I was much pleased for another fanartist to draw a few pictures of Vertigo. They are attached below.
+ Do you write about him? +
Does this LJ count? Haden't written any fanfic of Vertigo though.
+ Do you use him in any rpgs? +
RPGs are the main reason he came about! Vertigo had been active in the TFBlogs RP, and at Autobot City's RP.
> RANDOMIZE! <
+ Is your character wanted for anything? +
For treason, if he happens to get caught in the act.
+ What are three weaknesses in him/her? +
- His alt mode is not as fast and strong as a fighter jet.
- His wings are fairly delicate. If he is not careful and gets caught in the thick of an aerial assault, it will not bode well.
- Will also suffer from bouts of absent-mindedness, if not just getting too wrapped up in a conversation and slips out information he shouldn't.
+ Strengths? +
- Stealth. He also uses cargo transports via the Spacebridge to get to Earth from Cybertron.
- He is able to fly high altitudes in the stratosphere. None of the other jets, save Starscream and Sunstorm, can fly this high.
- Martial arts skill, in additon to his electro-scrambling sonar waves.
+ What's one quirk about him? +
He likes anime, and Japanese culture. So much so, that he speaks some of the language too.
+ Does your character have any phobias? +
The fear of falling from a great height. Fortunately, he is not as claustrophobic as other seekers can be. And also, Soundwave.
+ What could you do to get him into a blind rage? +
Take his swords and anime collection. Or anything that involves Skywarp.
+ Does your OC like chickens? +
Vertigo: *blinks* If this means Laserbeak, I most certainly don't! :p
> THE FINAL QUESTION <
+ What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like? +
Since he's like the muse of all my martial arts and TMNT interests, I say it be a pretty decent one. ^^;
And then... some PICTURES!
Not my art (..I'm still in the process...) but these are some illustrations drawn by another awesome fanartist I met earlier in the year, Equanimity.
Just a little something to show what Vertigo looks like. ^^
(I like this one the best... :] )
Lastly, the rough color scheme...
The energy on the sword should actually be a blueish-green color. She was experimenting with energon colors since I hadn't specified that before.
