I'm not gonna lie, this took soooo long. I think I've spent over an hour or two trying to fill this out. Boy these guys are complicated. Anyways, this is an OC meme of somewhat epic proportions. I apologize beforehand if it's somewhat long-winded. On the bright side, here's some insight on those curious Lozing Oz Forever characters, yes?

Update: I added and edited some stuff(again), if you guys want to read through and find it all xDD



Body and Appearance


1. Describe the character's height and build. Are they heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Orohitz: Surprisingly built for such a thin, lanky person.
Etor: Too thin for it to be natural for his height and structure. Then again, he's not natural.
Difyr: Thin, flat chested, average height.
Lehoi: Lanky, thin and tall with a poor build.

2. How old are they?
Orohitz: He can't remember, but it couldn't be that old. At a guess, early 20's.
Etor: He was created a great many years back. He could easily be half a century old.
Difyr: 19.
Lehoi: 21

3. Describe their posture. Do they carry themself well or do they slouch?
Orohitz: He walks like he's balancing on something slick and trying to dance at the same time, so it's not really a matter of if he's slouching or not, it's a matter if he's even standing or not.
Etor: He stands very tall and firm.
Difyr: It depends on her mood or physical exhaustion.
Lehoi: He constantly slouches and is exceedingly trying to hide his face.

4. How is their health? Are they fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Orohitz: He's of perfect health, not counting the scars, mysterious wounds and his cerebral damage preventing him from remembering most of anything.
Etor: He is a machine, so he cannot become ill or out of shape. His only disability is his paper skin, which rips fairly easily.
Difyr: She is of fair health, although some might consider her synesthesia to be a disability.
Lehoi: He's albino and incapable of going berserk, but otherwise fine.

5. How do they move? Are they clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Orohitz: Clumsy but fluid.
Etor: Tense but graceful.
Difyr: Graceful in a clumsy way.
Lehoi: Tense and extremely fluid.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How do they perceive themselves in the mirror?
Orohitz: Despite his scars and artificial eye, he is physically attractive, but his clothing covers all of that. He seems himself as a stranger, and it scares him.
Etor: He is exceedingly handsome but only with his clothes and skin. He has no emotions, so he sees nothing in a reflection except for a reflection.
Difyr: She's plain, but somewhat pretty. She only really sees herself as plain and strange, though.
Lehoi: For his race, he is not very attractive. He avoids mirrors or reflective surfaces, so he couldn't tell you.

7. Describe their complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Orohitz: Yellowish and scarred.
Etor: White, sometimes a bit torn.
Difyr: Light and clear.
Lehoi: Light and clear.

8. Describe their hair: color, texture, style.
Orohitz: Yellow, unruly, straw-like and messy.
Etor: Copper brown, unruly, made out of metal pieces, stationary.
Difyr: Black with a strip of white, long, smooth, decent.
Lehoi: Whitish, wiry, like a wild cat's hair.

9. What color are their eyes?
Orohitz: Green, although one eye is fake and has black surrounding it rather than white.
Etor: Soft, luminescent blue that glows slightly.
Difyr: Violet.
Lehoi: Faint Pink.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Orohitz: Just his scars and eye, really.
Etor: Only beneath his skin.
Difyr: Yes, but those are a surprise.
Lehoi: He has lion ears and a tail.

11. What are their chief tension centers?
Orohitz: That he doesn't know anything about himself, he always forgets things and that he has an autopsy scar on his chest but he isn't dead.
Etor: No feelings, no stress!
Difyr: She doesn't understand her role in the scheme of things and it scares her sometimes.
Lehoi: Everything, but especially the fact that he can't go berserk.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Orihitz: Green & Brown with lots of strips.
Etor: Six of the same outfit, although he has suspenders for some occasions. This will change by the end.
Difyr: She takes what she can get, but prefers wearing lighter shades of blue.
Lehoi: One outfit that he never changes out of until much later in the story. He just washes and re-wears it.

13. Do their clothes fit well? Do they seem comfortable in them?
Orohitz: His clothes are usually a bit baggy, but comfortable.
Etor: He hides his unnatural thinness with his baggy clothes.
Difyr: They usually fit rather well and are sometimes comfortable.
Lehoi: The simple answers are yes.

14. Do they dress the same on the job as they does in their free time? If not, what are the differences?
-Yes for all, there are no differences-

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Orohitz: Either, depending on the weather
Etor: Boxers
Difyr: Bikini Briefs or Femme-Boxers(Oooh, I'm getting specific ;D)
Lehoi: Commando


Speech


1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Orohitz: Soft, smooth. Well, unless he's excited or emotional in any way, especially stressed. Then it goes high pitched and squeaky(Think Simon Baker).
Etor: Jilted, smooth, deep-ish(Think Lee Pace as the Pie Maker without any tone variation).
Difyr: Smooth, soft, moderate in tone.
Lehoi: Cracks frequently, varying tones(Think Shia Lebouf from Even Stevens).

2. How do they normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Do they talk easily, or do they hesitate?
Orohitz: Fast & soft, often hesitating at random intervals. If he's excited in some way, then it's loud, stuttering and fast, almost like he's running away and tripping a lot.
Etor: Slow, steady, medium volume and easily.
Difyr: Moderate speed & volume, evenly and sometimes hesitant.
Lehoi: Varying volume and speed, usually very hesitant.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Orohitz: Nope.
Etor: He talks too perfectly.
Difyr: She's like Ecilla - she talks funny, like she will go from modern dialect to 1920's within a single paragraph. Unlike Ecilla she has a Sailor's Potty Mouth!
Lehoi: He has a thick accent that almost sounds African.

4. What language/s do they speak, and with how much fluency?

Difyr: Only English.
Lehoi: The Berserker tongue and English(poorly).

5. Do they switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Orohitz: Yes, usually at random intervals or times of extreme stress. He also can't tell the difference between talking English and speaking something else. Someone could talk to him in Danish and he would answer in English because he doesn't know that they are different.
Etor: Only when needed.
Difyr: No.
Lehoi: Especially under extreme stress.

6. Are they a good impromptu speaker, or do they have to think about their words?
Orohitz: He mixes his words up and doesn't realize how bad it sounds.
Etor: He's too honest, so he often says the wrong thing and doesn't understand how it's wrong.
Difyr: She's pretty good at impromptu unless she's been riled up. Then her vocabulary becomes quite colorful.
Lehoi: No.

7. Are they eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Orohitz: Inarticulate most of the time, but he has his moments.
Etor: Very eloquent.
Difyr: Most often to not, unless she's riled up, she's pretty eloquent.
Lehoi: Always inarticulate.

Difyr: She graduated high school and is street smart, but only for the normal realm.
Lehoi: Not really for either at all.

2. Do they think on their feet, or do they need time to deliberate?
Orohitz: He thinks on his feet, because if he deliberates he will forget what he was thinking about.

Beliefs


1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Orohitz: He doesn't know.
Etor: He was created, so he can't really have one. Difyr claims that he is a Libra, though.
Difyr: Ophiuchus, and since it's considered a healing star sign, yes.
Lehoi: Cancer, and quite a bit.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in their life?
-I choose not to get into my character's religions, because it's one thing that I personally don't even like getting into. Most of my characters either won't have a religion or they know a God so they can't really deny their existence.-

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Orohitz: He doesn't know, but when it comes to Difyr he would do almost anything since she was the only one willing to tolerate him and help him find himself, so to speak.
Etor: He uses the morals from the stories he read for his "life". Compromising his morals would mean something seriously foul would have to happen.
Difyr: She has the morals of an elderly woman and when someone hurts a person she cares about then she will definitely compromise her own morals and safety to do something about it.

Orohitz: No Prejudices
Etor: Doesn't understand the concept of prejudice.
Difyr: She is intolerant to prejudice.
Lehoi: Prejudice against most everyone who is not a berserker due to his upbringing. He gets better with time, but is pretty darn annoying in the beginning.


Daily Life


1. What is the character's financial situation? Are they rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Orohitz: Homeless wandering, because he can't remember anything of what he may have had.
Etor: Financially speaking, he's poor, but he lived a quiet, comfortable life in a forest by himself. He doesn't need anything, so money means nothing to him.
Difyr: Comfortable before the journey, now she's poor but creative in her means of being comfortable.
Lehoi: Rich before exile, so currently he is poor.

2. What are their social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected them?
Orohitz: He doesn't really have one, since he can't remember. It may have changed.
Etor: Technically, he doesn't exist.
Difyr: She was middle class in her "home" realm.
Lehoi: A Prince, technically.

3. Where do they live? House, apartment, trailer? Is their home their castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Do they share it with others?
-This depends. During the story, then their place of residence changes along the journey.-

4. Besides the basic necessities, what do they spend their money on?
-N/A.-

5. What do they do for a living? Are they good at it? Do they enjoy it, or would they rather be doing something else?
Orohitz: Doesn't remember, but at this point he's pretty useless with almost anything so he has no job and couldn't think of anything he'd like to do.
Etor: He can do anything as long as he has the necessary tools due to his excessive book knowledge on multiple topics. He can even cook, but he wouldn't be able to stray from the recipe and create his own recipes. All he really wants is to be human.
Difyr: She's done a lot of odd jobs over the course of her life. She is really good at sewing and fixing minor technological glitches. She doesn't know what she wants to do, so she switches it up if she becomes too bored. Now that she's on the journey, she has no job to speak of.
Lehoi: He was a spoiled Prince, so he really has never done anything for a living. That hasn't changed.

6. What are their interests or hobbies? How do they spend their free time?
Orohitz: Nothing that he knows of.
Etor: The human mind.
Difyr: She likes to paint in her free time.
Lehoi: He's only interested in himself and going berserk.4

7. What are their eating habits? Do they skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
