Re: Wonderful Character Survey
Wow, I'm a total survey whore. Time to play!
I think I'll fill this out for each one of my characters, cause it's fun. But I'll post Pimpette's here, just cause.
Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Everyone calls her Pimpette. Her real name, for now, is a secret. Nyah!
2)How old is he/she?
She appears to be in her late twenties, possibly early thirties.
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
OC? Uh, Pimpette's female, if that's what you mean.
4)What's his/her race?
Caucasian. Her mama was Dutch... and her father is Satan. >_>
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
A few. She loves her pimp coat (designed after a Santa coat), bigass black boots... that and Turkish is normally wrapped around her arm, and he's pretty weird on his own.
That and her mom was attempting to become the sin Lust - so she's supposed to be pretty hawt.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Sort of - until you really really piss her off. Then she's unusually scary and gathers a kind of evil aura around herself.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Possibly her necklace - she never walks around without it if she can help it. Otherwise, she has two tattoos - a lizard on her left thigh, and a cheery little heart dude on her tailbone.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
She's supposed to be - and she does look pretty good when drawn right.
Personality
1)Temper?
Hot-tempered. You do NOT want to piss her off.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Occasionally, but never for very long.
3)Leader or Follower?
Definite leader. She doesn't like taking orders from others.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Hm. Well she enjoys her dominance of her manwhores, and enjoys making money off them. She loves being in charge, really, and has no problems with ordering anyone and everyone around.
That sort of confidence (combined with her unusual scariness) usually ends up with her getting her way.
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
She has a twin sister, Kria, and her father, Satan. Her mother's whereabouts are unknown.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
She left home years ago after a massive fight with her sister, and started up her pimping "business" almost by accident. She now lives in an apartment over her nightclub with her manwhores.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Several. But I can't tell you those 'cause they're spoilers. Nyah!
Actually, the latest one I can: Turkish got shot in the spine and had to be taken to one of Satan's special labs to heal. She is currently out for vengeance.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Hmm, good question. She had a pretty good time in Hell as a kid, doing whatever she pleased and ordering everyone around, including her sister.
Romance
1)Single?
I'd say so. She does use her manwhores as a harem sometimes, but has no actual commitments with any of them.
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yes, once. That ended badly and she doesn't like to think about it.
3)Virgin?
4)Does your character like flirting?
Do bears shit in the woods?
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
Probably a snake, like a cobra or a rattlesnake. When she's calm she looks innocent enough, but if you piss her off you will damn well know it and fear for your life.
2)Musical Instrument?
The fiddle; Satan taught her.
3)Element?
Fire. Definitely fire.
4)Planet?
Hmm.. I don't know much about planets, so I can't really put any input into this. I'll look up some planet symbolism and figure this one out later.
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Yes, though not always as well as I'd like.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Yes.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
Not really... but only cause the only RPG I really play now and then is FF3 >_>
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
RANDOM FANART!
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Not by the authorities (although they keep inspecting her nightclub for drugs). A couple of other people want her dead, for reasons soon to be announced.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
Hot-tempered and impulsive, which leads her to do stupid things sometimes.
She hates not being in control and gets impatient if forced to take orders. This can also lead her to do stupid things.
There's another one but it hasn't quite been revealed yet (cause I'm a lazy updater), so I can't share at the moment.
3)Strengths?
When enraged, she ignores any injuries she may receive in order to win in a fight (except the time she got headbutted in the nose, cause then she went a little blind for a second).
As I mentioned earlier, she is very good at intimidating people into obeying her orders, no matter how much authority they might actually have over her.
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (etc.)?
Drinks often, although she rarely actually gets drunk. She owns a nightclub and gets free booze, of course she drinks!
And smokes now and then, but prefers to roll her own smokes with whatever she can get ahold of.
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
Because of where she grew up, she doesn't think twice about the oddities of others - for instance, she wasn't shocked to encounter a leprechaun, an escaped demon, an anthropomorphic frog, a bright blue drug-addicted dog, or a man with a glowing.. er.. member.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Not really. But she hates imps.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Hurt Turkish.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
She likes to eat them.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
I'm the artist - when I draw her outside of the actual comic, she angrily tries to order me around through the paper, but knows that I'm the one holding the pen.
She's a dominant and would jump out of the page and pimpslap me for not updating if she could.
I keep having accidental hiatuses when she's in trouble, oops.
That was fun.

-Be a proud murderer, rapist, extortionist, and blackmailer and try to justify your position as being "morally superior."
8)Does your OC like chickens?
-Who doesn't?
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
-Hard to describe this without sounding megalomaniacal, but I'm essentially his God and creator... and as such, I try not to be too unfair to him or the world he lives in.

Oh, yay, I love surveys!! **contains a plethora of spoilers and moments not in the comic as of yet.**
Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Crystal Richardson
2)How old is he/she?
17
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
Girl
4)What's his/her race?
Human
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
At this point, not many. She'd actually probably blend in with everything else until she opens her mouth. She can't really seem to contain her zeal most of the time.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Yes. Maybe unnaturally happy at times, but yes.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Her eyes. The are the most expressive feature. She's like an open book with those eyes.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
She is intended to be less attractive than Alicia, actually, but her personality makes her attractive.
Personality
1)Temper?
Oh, she can get pissed off, but it really takes a lot to get her to react negatively. Like, oh, an ominous character from her past harassing her or threatening her loved ones.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Yes. She is quite intuitive when it comes to the emotions of others, and often overanalyzes situations, both of which have the ability to cast her into mild bouts of depression. She generally overcomes them quickly, however.
3)Leader or Follower?
She fancies herself a follower, because she doesn't want anyone to feel that she has too high an opinion of herself, but her personality draws in the care and devotion of those around her. In essence, she leads.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Her warmth toward those she loves and trusts.
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Yes! Two brothers (one younger, one older), and her mother. Her father died when she was young.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
No, she lives in the refurbished attic of her family's home.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Her father was murdered when she was young, and they never found the killer. She was old enough to understand, and she was also old enough to realize that her mother needed a pillar of strength, which contributed to the sometimes forcedly cheerful demeanor she has today. Also, a year before the comic begins, her first boyfriend attempted to rape her when she tried to break it off. Alicia managed to get her out of the situation, but she has a distrust of "love" now (He was always telling her he loved her, even while trying to rape her).
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Probably Patrick climbing up to her window and declaring that he'd do anything to get her to see that "[he wasn't] that guy". Awwww . . .
Romance
1)Single?
Nope!
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yes. Two. The first one didn't turn out so well, so she tries to be careful with the second, but she recognizes that Patrick is a great guy. And she deeply loves him. As long as he doesn't tell her he loves her . . .
3)Virgin?
Yes. And if Jade has anything to say about it, she will be until she dies.
4)Does your character like flirting?
No! She's friendly to everyone, but relationships are sacred to her, and she doesn't like to muddy the waters.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
A dog. I know it sounds weird, but it fits her perfectly.
2)Musical Instrument?
Flute. It can be lilting or piercing, but either way it is beautiful.
3)Element?
Water
4)Planet?
Venus
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Yes. Quite often, actually. I love drawing her hair.
2)Do you write about him/her?
As in books and manga . . . and script . . .yes.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
No, I don't play those. Too time consuming . . . The comic's enough.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
I'm going to go to a con as her one year. ^^
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Yup. But if I told you, it would be a MAJOR spoiler. . .
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
An automatic trust in others, self-revulsion if something goes wrong, denying her own feelings in an attempt to spare others
3)Strengths?
Steadfast determination, the ability to be sympathetic AND objective, a magnetic personality
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Neither, unless she's celebrating. And then it's usually only a glass of bubbly.
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
She apologizes. A lot. Even when things aren't her fault. She gets hit for it a lot, too . . .
6)Does your character have any phobias?
H-E-I-G-H-T-S. And tiny flying things. To include butterflies and fairies.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Hold her little brother at knifepoint, mock her moral beliefs, underestimate her. She'll really prove you wrong.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
She loves baby chicks, and she and the adults have an understanding.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
She's a reflection of me, just like all of my female characters. They all possess strengths that I see in myself or wish I had, and they all portray weaknesses that I find in myself. I tried to make them as human as possible, but Crystal is the most direct extension of me . . .

Her father was murdered when she was young, and they never found the killer. She was old enough to understand, and she was also old enough to realize that her mother needed a pillar of strength, which contributed to the sometimes forcedly cheerful demeanor she has today. Also, a year before the comic begins, her first boyfriend attempted to rape her when she tried to break it off. Alicia managed to get her out of the situation, but she has a distrust of "love" now (He was always telling her he loved her, even while trying to rape her).
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Probably Patrick climbing up to her window and declaring that he'd do anything to get her to see that "[he wasn't] that guy". Awwww . . .
Romance
1)Single?
Nope!
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yes. Two. The first one didn't turn out so well, so she tries to be careful with the second, but she recognizes that Patrick is a great guy. And she deeply loves him. As long as he doesn't tell her he loves her . . .
3)Virgin?
Yes. And if Jade has anything to say about it, she will be until she dies.
4)Does your character like flirting?
No! She's friendly to everyone, but relationships are sacred to her, and she doesn't like to muddy the waters.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
A dog. I know it sounds weird, but it fits her perfectly.
2)Musical Instrument?
Flute. It can be lilting or piercing, but either way it is beautiful.
3)Element?
Water
4)Planet?
Venus
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Yes. Quite often, actually. I love drawing her hair.
2)Do you write about him/her?
As in books and manga . . . and script . . .yes.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
No, I don't play those. Too time consuming . . . The comic's enough.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
I'm going to go to a con as her one year. ^^
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Yup. But if I told you, it would be a MAJOR spoiler. . .
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
An automatic trust in others, self-revulsion if something goes wrong, denying her own feelings in an attempt to spare others
3)Strengths?
Steadfast determination, the ability to be sympathetic AND objective, a magnetic personality
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Neither, unless she's celebrating. And then it's usually only a glass of bubbly.
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
She apologizes. A lot. Even when things aren't her fault. She gets hit for it a lot, too . . .
6)Does your character have any phobias?
H-E-I-G-H-T-S. And tiny flying things. To include butterflies and fairies.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Hold her little brother at knifepoint, mock her moral beliefs, underestimate her. She'll really prove you wrong.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
She loves baby chicks, and she and the adults have an understanding.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
She's a reflection of me, just like all of my female characters. They all possess strengths that I see in myself or wish I had, and they all portray weaknesses that I find in myself. I tried to make them as human as possible, but Crystal is the most direct extension of me . . .
