As a note, these are not ALL of the characters I've ever created, just the ones I know by heart or have on paper. / <--- indicates a second name, Nickname or handle, first name listed is what they go by primarily.
Judging by the above list, what seems to be your favorite letter to start names with?
S mostly, followed by J, A, D
And to end?
N seems to win by a landslide followed by E, A, I, S and K
What's your favorite male name you've used?
I'm stuck between Jarreth and Helix, followed by Varathis, Locke, Garrick, Jaden, Folkien and Roaen.
Female?
I only have a few female characters to choose from-- Anippe, Ashla, Brenna, Chiyo, Fusae, Hyena, Ice, Ky'ah, Lilith, Malestrix, Naraz, Rin, Sayla, Shin Rei, Sonya and Viorith... hnn
It's a hard choice between Anippe, Ky'ah, Rin and Sonya. I guess Ky'ah.
What's the best surname you've ever given one of your characters?
Mar'derro is my fav followed by Swift, Drake, Drakari, Burkhardt and J'fan.
Any middle names you're fond of?
Tiley~ It's my only character with a middle name unless you count the gnomish one.
Which of all the names is the one most likely to be mispronounced?
Wow uh... a LOT of them would probably be mispronounced due to them being Japanese and hur dur Americans are terrible at pronouncing things, but the one effed up the worst??
Aside from the length of Dinks name, I'd say Malestrix. It's Mal-Es-Triks, like Molest. I think people would pronounce it Male-Striks *cringe*. Some americans might eff up the AE in any name, like Caelzair or Roaen.
Now let's talk about where they live. What's your best large-area (planet, continent, country, etc.) name you've used?
To be honest, I've never named any worlds, most of my original characters were used for Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft or Star Wars purposes so the worlds were named. My other OC's I've used were stuck in Gabe's game world or just random places without names. So I can't really claim them as mine. I have a game world in mind, but it's just set on Earth.
Same question for your smaller-scale places (provinces, states, parishes/counties, territories, cities, street names, etc.)
I'll probably end up re-naming cities or coming up with names for things later on, I'm not that far yet.
Any other terms you like? Such as magic systems, sci-fi technology, companies, organizations, that kind of thing.
My favorite organization is "the Sins" in Gabe's world/game. Give you one guess which character is part of that :| They're a group of free-lancers (assassins, smugglers, spies, hackers, you name it. So long as it has a good price they'll do just about anything.) each with specific talents and such. Sloth is very misleading, I <3 him to pieces. And yes, I came up with them based of the seven deadly variety, Gabe just ran with it and made the other members.
Dunno if this counts either but, I like the term Nakama cause it just encompasses your family, friends and crew.
What's your favorite thing to write? Romance, fights, dialogue, ordinary settings, magic, parties, evil overlords, what?
I love to write drama or smut. I notice I tend to roguish, flirts or misanthropic assholes, I've had my occasional feral or stoic, the headstrong, brash fool, IDK. I don't really have a 'type' but certain characteristics I lean towards.
Where do you think you wrote it the best?
I think I write best with POV or describing how a character is feeling/what they're feeling and what not. I love getting into a characters head and emotions or senses. It's really good for smex. As far as in games and stuff??
Some of my best stuff was written in Discedo, Cross and outside of Discedo with Rica. I role played (As in Star Wars and DnD you pervs) some great stuff with Gabe too, but my written/typed work/RP is better IMO. I've gotten better over time.
What kind of things do you have trouble writing? And be honest: do you avoid them?
Ordinary Settings and Dialogue. I'm good with action, but when the characters are just sitting and having a chat? Not so much, unless it's revealing some mystery/secret or a character background story or something interesting. When it comes to just... conversation I get bored easy.
Do you use original metaphors/similes when you write? What's your favorite one?
Only when I chat really or do stuff OOC. I tend to use :|, :| b and :\ a lot. Sometimes a >3
Ever write animals? What kinds?
Technically? I guess yes? I mean, most of my 'animals' are humans who can shape-shift. Philmore was a character based off of Gabe's dog when he was a boy. The character was turned from dog to human, and placed in a Red Dwarf game, that was hilarious. I play a lot of canidae, dragons, a few cat creatures or raccoons, reptiles. IDK random things. I switch it up most of the time if the character has a animal trait/can shape-shift or what have you.
In closing, tell us how you felt about the meme. And don't forget to tag someone!
It was kind of interesting, dunno, I think this would have been more fun had most of my OC's not been for pre-built games and one of my own worlds. Oh well.
Tag... Whoever.
As a bonus, feel free to ask me anything about the listed characters above. I love sharing their stories or what game they were in/where they came from and stuff!
