/hhg/ making/talking about there OC's part 1

Do you guys make OCs?
-
I've seen 3 I think:
>Nikkel
Broke-ass, heavily indebted imp who lives in a storage closet, is constantly being exploited or duped, and gets fcked in the ass a whole bunch.
>Solagne
"Nega-Charlie", an exterminator angel who looks like photonegative of Charlie and likes to murder.

There was also a third one who was a black widow killer/social climber from the late Victorian era but I can't remember the name.
-
Katrine.
-
THERE she fcking is. It was bugging the hell out of me.
---
i was thinking of making a sinner OC who's a complete new to Hell (like, "died yesterday" new) and is still trying to be a "good person" despite having already died and arrived in hell
---
I've been toying with a couple of ideas; mostly relating to a gang of veteran sinners
-
Same here
I've come to the sad realization that most of my idea's revolve around former members of the military
I'm really not that creative
-
Same, desu. It's hard to not fall into the niches that already have established characters.

Like, I wouldn't want to do a mobster or serial killer unless I could make them nothing like AD or Alastor.
-
Well, I try to make my characters motivations/personalities/appearance as varied as possible
One is a humanoid funnel web spider from australia who globetrotted around the world in the fight against communism. He roleplayed as a sociopath for so long that he almost became one, and now slums around in Pentegram Cities version of a police department

The other is a Chechen/Cossack helicopter pilot that looks like a wolf character from a 1970's soviet animated tv show mixed with the coat of arms of the chechen republic of ichkeria, shuttling around high priced clients in a repurposed Mil Mi-8 transport helicopter

Last two are both humanoid veterans of the great war, one being a ghoulish Scottish dragoon rifleman who died of medical malpractice in the Somme while the other lived on to die in Kursk in 1943 as a flammenwerfer operator, with a humanoid body resembling burnt tar and oil (main ingredients in flammenwerfer fuel so that it stuck to targets) with a human head that vaguely resembles a totenkopf (flame thrower operators in WW1 were rewarded a deaths head for their contribution to the war effort, and the guy later joined the Waffen SS who had it as an insignia)
-
Those all sound really cool!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, it actually took ages to write all this shit down. Autistic I know

My biggest issue is trying to come up with female OCs for Wrath, but I have a couple of ideas, only one half decent one

My most fleshed out OC idea was a two headed eagle; who was two separate people in life. One a Luftwaffe ace, the other a Soviet ace. And their absolute hatred for their enemy is why they must now share a body in Hell. Which is a now flightless two headed eagle as they still refuse to cooperate, even 70+ years later. Even though they both loved flying before the war.

If they were redeemed, or even started to work towards it; I’d like to think they’d split and become their own people again once they’d finally let go of almost a century of hate.

My other non-humanoid Demon idea is a bit of a femme fatale praying mantis demon; In life she was a member of a French resistance cell. She’s also the defacto head of their “Gang”. She’s a bit of a cold-hearted mistress and doesn’t take kindly to failure and she absolutely hates traitors.
My others are two more humanoid demons; one an American Vietnam Special Forces Veteran. He is a mountain of a demon, with two bull horns on his head, one of which is broken off. He finds himself in hell after allowing the brutality of the war to consume him. His body is covered in a birth mare like bright orange stain, due to his exposure to the chemical weapons they used in the war. And the fact he got melted in a danger close napalm strike. The other is basically Sharpe in Hell. I figured a Napoleonic era soldier would be a bit of a change of pace, and well, having a skilled swordsman is always useful.

Part Deux

I had a few more ideas, like a Boar demon, who in life was mercenary in the late Cold War era, having fought in tons small proxy wars no one has heard of. And a Shark Demon who was a U-Boat captain. I’ve got a few more WW1 or WW2 demon ideas, but nothing that well defined. Oh! And an idea for a Roman soldier demon, but again I don’t have too much for him.

I’ve also toyed with having a GWOT veteran, who’d be an amalgamation of stories I’ve heard from guys who served over there. But I feel like it might be a bit too soon.
But it might also be amusing to have old fudd WW1 demons complaining about how in their day they didn’t have lasers and night vision etc

Spaghetti spilling over
