I found this funny OC tag meme from Vent, originally created by Ag-Cat on DeviantArt, so I thought I would share it with you guys~ A lot of the scenarios seemed to me like worthy short stories, so I'm going to do this instead of cataloging my books~

Rules:
-Pick 10 of your OCs in any order. If you don't have 10 characters us canon.
-Don't look at the questions while picking the characters!
-Have fun~

Pick Your Victims!
1. Damien
2. Lynn
3. Avery
4. Shizola
5. Alys
6. Amarey
7. Vladen
8. Kili
9. Jabir
10. Kellan

---------------------------------

1. How would [1] describe [6]?
"Oh.. Well, I'm sure the little chocolate dumpling has a gorgeous face under that unruly hair of hers, but it's quite impossible to tell without clipping it out of her face, now isn't it? Apart from that, she gives the idea of someone with proper table manners and charm, but she's a rather fierce opponent. Like a... oh the word escapes me. I want to say, like a tiger. Almost." Damien would then chuckle at this last part, blatantly missing Amarey's alias as 'The Lioness'. He's fine with Amarey for the most part, and when she acts wild it's annoying to him at first, but then he ends up enjoying the challenge of a new opponent.

2. [5] and [4] were locked in a closet together. What does [10] see when he/she found them?
The couple was chosen, so that's ironic. Shizola first wonders why in the world they are trapped in a closet. Had they stumbled there by accident? Did someone try to kidnap the princess of the Auther Waurld? What a maddening idea. She then proposes to break the door down to free them, but Alys laughs and tells her to relax for a bit. This was finally some time together and alone, after all. Alys is the first to act suggestively, but soon enough they're passionately making out. Kellan, looking for a broom because the help is useless, is quite surprised to see them. But they don't separate upon the intrusion. Shizola simply reaches out with one of her tendrils and closes the door. Kellan is left confused, slightly aroused, and simply decides to leave the scene with a growing sense of frustrating annoyance.

3. For whatever reason, [7] decides to kiss [2]. How does [2] react?
Lynn likely helped Vladen fix a bug problem in one of his gardens with a bit of elementary magic. No more pesky holes in his beautiful flowers and leafy greens! Overjoyed, Vladen kisses Lynn before turning back to his harvest. He doesn't think much of the kiss, that was simply his way of saying thank you. Lynn, however, is distraught and confused. Her face flushes and she's paralyzed for a second, and accidentally stops time. She knows Vladen didn't mean it, he's just overly friendly with everyone. Right? Of course! This didn't mean anything. She almost walks away before realizing that the birds are suspended in mid-flight and returning time to its linear frame. Vladen does not notice this. Lynn goes home and tries to read the leaves in her tea for what to do next.

4. [2] randomly walks in and sees [9] is at least half naked.
"Oh Godess!" Lynn squeals and covers her eyes, blushing furiously and trying to back out of the room without bumping into the vase next to the door.
"Oh-Oh my." Jabir is heavily embarrassed. Why didn't people ever knock? They both escape the scene flustered and they don't make eye contact for the rest of the day. Jabir hopes he won't be reported for indecent exposure to a minor. It was honestly an accident after all... He's a doctor! This wasn't bad.. Right? He questions his moral standing because he knows he wasn't at fault, but he still feels bad about it. Lynn probably creates a potion of amnesia for those specific five minutes, ends up forgetting the things she did for the beginning of that day, and is entirely fine with the results.

5. What is [3]'s theme song? Favorite food it [3] doesn't have a theme song.
"Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain just disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine
My life is sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
etc..."
Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows by Lesley Gore. This is just the type of peppy, sweet, cheerful and upbeat song that Avery would sing to himself while skipping through the woods. Continuously. Without stopping.
Until he gets distracted.
Also, he's favorite food is candy!

6. And what is [8]'s opinion about [3]'s theme song? If [3] doesn't have a theme song, make [8] eat [3]'s wallet.
Killi doesn't have vocal chords, so she communicates through text and emojis in the halo between her horns. She gives Avery a side glance, narrowing her eyes slightly as she slowly backs away, her halo showing question marks. She really hates the kid for singing this song but she'll be damned if it isn't catchy...

7. [5] has a drink in a bar and discovers [10] is a strip dancer.
After a long day of military training and organization, Alys had hoped to find Shizola in bed waiting for her. But, she was out killing a monster or something other. To drown her sorrows and the day's exhaustion, Alys goes to a bar. She starts to get a buzz going and decides to go home- but then she sees Kellan. Evil Kellan. In a man-thong filled with money against a thin pole. She almost throws up the whiskey she had taken, but simply leaves a tip and hurries out of the bar, with three words going through her mind: Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. When she returns home she tries not to tell everyone and fails miserably. But hey, even the king of a prosperous country needs to relax.

8. So [5] was completely wasted and wakes up in bed next to... [9] and [1]?!
Apparently Alys was a lot more drunk than she thought. The same words run through her head when she wakes up in-between Jabir and Damien. Jabir had simply been sleeping there when they had arrived, he's totally unaware of what's happening. Leave him alone. Damien however, damned Damien, was the mastermind behind this. He greets her as she wakes up, grinning when it looks like she's about to hurl. "Oh come on Love, you seemed to enjoy it last night~" She rushes to the bathroom and Damien holds this over her head for the rest of the day, before telling her, eventually, that nothing happened. She's a sleepy drunk after all.

9. Something exploded and now [2], [6], and [8] are gender bended! How do they react?
Lynn is confused and frightened at first. She immediately sets to creating a potion to change her back -since the accident was probably her fault to begin with, whoops- and she does it! She creates the antidote! ...But curiosity takes over. After all, the effects will wear off eventually. This is kind of fun~ She tries to see who notices that it's still Lynn disguised as Lonn, the last minute alias she created. She goes to Damien to try on suits, and he's more than happy to oblige. She doesn't go home. Goddess, her mom would have a stroke if she found out her daughter was suddenly male.
Amarey is confused and annoyed at first. This was an unnecessary and grotesque turn of events. But, it doesn't change anything. She keeps whatever she was wearing, probably a cropped top and shorts, and goes on her day as usual. Nothing much seems to change. She's just as strong as she was before and nothing was gained. She simply waits for this to wear off. What a 'meh' day.
Killi is confused and a little disappointed. Being a demon allows her to change her appearance, so this new development is nothing new. It isn't even formidable. She simply changes her appearance back and goes about her day.

10. [1] suddenly feels an urge to chase after unicorns. What do [3] do to help him/her?
Damien has an itch to kill something, and he's set his sights on the elusive unicorn, mocking him with its brightly colored tail. Bastards... It's horn will be mounted upon his wall! Damien is about to go on the hunt- but is interupted by a curious and naive Avery. He wonders were Mr. Damien is going. "...I'm looking for unicorns." Avery is very happy and excited at the prospect of playing with one of his favorite animals ever! With a few guided questions and promises from Damien, Avery agrees to help him find the unicorns in exchange for candy, and for Avery to ride on the back of one of them and braid its hair.

11. [4] is getting married to a rainbow dinosaur. How did it happen? Does [7] do anything about it?
In order to preserve the peace between their countries, Shizola has agreed to marry the prince of Rainbow Dino-Island-icus. Her sacrifice will save the people and reptilians of both countries, and a new era of peace will begin. Vladen doesn't know what to say at first, finding these sorts of theatrics rather over-the-top, but he rejoices at the thoughts of helping plan out a wedding and immediately sets to arranging bouquets of flowers.

12. [8] is being chased by evil toys in a locked toy factory with a pen as his/her only weapon. Does he/she survive through the night?
Her hoofs clap against the linoleum tile as she runs down the aisle. Her breathing is labored, and she glances behind her for a moment, as if the small sentient objects would have disappeared. But they hadn't. They were farther away, but they knew that she had nowhere to run. She was entirely surrounded. With a thud, Killi connects with the factory's hard wall, and something clambers out of her cloak's pocket. A pen? When had she had such a thing? She picks it up with minor difficulties. Hopefully this could be used as a weapon. Maybe.. If she could.. Undo.. the cap... But no matter how hard she tries, her small fuzzy paws can't seem to work the latch. She looks up. The toys are even closer now. She's too startled to work her claws properly- this stupid pen! With an exasperated fuming face emoticon, Killi throws the pen into the crowd of toys and a Ken doll falls to the floor, ink leaking out of its back. Killli didn't need this, she was a demon after all. Long, piercing tendrills fill the small amount of lights visible in the room. The toys slow their march, unsure of their status. Should they keep going? Can they attack? But it's too late.

13. [5],[7], and [10] are having a picnic. Suddenly, a giant pink donut falls out form the sky. Which one of them is likely to get hit by it?
Alys and Vladen are the only ones to notice the donut. Alys has military training and deals with the paranormal on a daily basis. She recognizes the growing shadow and change in pressure enough to look up and realize that the sweet scent was the falling object. Vladen is part bumble bee and vampire bat, he makes it a habit to recognize different patterns of air flow, and there had been a disturbance. He picks up the scent and sound of the object early on, and realizes that it's a threat as it grows bigger. They both move out of the way as Kellan keeps talking about himself and his achievements while pouring a glass of whine. He has always been pampered and protected. They hadn't wanted him to come anyways. They wait patiently and watch.

14. [8] stole [6]'s most valuable item (or person). What happens next?
Amarey has made her room a mess trying to find this item while screaming "Where is it?!" into the air. Everyone is making sure to stay clear out of her way as she stalks from room to room. But Killi hadn't been able to resist! She was a demon of greed with a lot of pent up envy, and the shiny dazzling beads had always interested her. As she tries to figure out how to use the far advanced technological device, the door to her chamber suddenly slams open. Amarey spots the demon at once and her eyes widen with rage. An excitation point appears in Killi's halo, followed by the gif of a loading symbol. Quickly, she puts her hands up, the bracelet on her wrist, and the words 'wait' make their way across the halo. But Amarey has already lunged.

15. [10] found a Death Note! Who would die?
Oh God... Everyone. Anyone who had ever disagreed with his ideals, leaders of neighboring countries whom Kellan didn't like or had bested him in some way, anyone he was jealous of, anyone who looked at him wrong... Oh God this would be a mess.

16. [1], [2], and [4] are staying in [9]'s house while the house is surrounded by zombies! Wait, what do you mean [1] was bitten by a zombie?
Talk about the best zombie-apocalypse gang ever! Being in Jabir's house guarantees access to a lot of good food and clean water and reinforced barriers. Damien and Shizola are both gifted fighters, and Lynn uses her spells to attack and her potions to heal. They're doing rather well for themselves. But then.. Damien got bitten? Everyone is worried and on edge because of this, but Damien rolls his eyes and says they're overreacting. He is a demon, after all. The dead cannot harm him. Plus, he's able to heal a simple flesh wound, see? And the wound is, indeed, healed. But no one is entirely convinced, which infuriates Damien. He threatens to kill every last one of them, Shizola threatens to kill him, and Jabir would rather keep Damien locked somewhere with adequate food and water until something happens. Lynn acts as the voice of reasons. Damien was currently fine and showed no symptoms. If he did, they would lock him up. If he stayed, er, demon, then they would release him. If not, Shizola would kill him. That seems fair to everyone. Just in case, Lynn creates a potion that kills upon ingestion.

17. [7] found a time machine. What does he/she do?
Oh~ A time machine? Why, Vladen doesn't have much use for that. He doesn't really care for history or any sort of destination- His eyes grow wide and a thought occurs to him. If he goes back in time, to before they shot the movie...He could be Edward. He could be cast as Edward Elric and be the perfect sparkling vampire. The idea seems plausible, but he decides against it. Perhaps he'll go into the future and see what a catastrophe the world is without the bees and then return to the present with the knowledge that everyone who has ever said a mean thing about bees will eventually perish.

18. [3], [4], and [5] decide to rob a bank. How did it go?
A hamadryad, an alien princess, and a military leader rob a bank. Alys's moral compass makes her really not want to do this, but with Shizola's calm encouragement and Avery's excited agreement, she just can't say no. Alys acts as the mastermind, Shizola is the muscle, and Avery is the distraction. The heist goes perfectly. They're in and out before anyone can even think to stop them. They're loaded. They retire to a private island and live the rest of their lives happily and worry free.

19. Oh no! [8] was hit by a fire truck! Who (in the list) will be the first one to show up in the hospital?
Killi was busy inspecting a self-driving car, you see. She was distracted. The technology amazed her and she really really wanted to steal the car, and before her tendrils could react, she was splattered against the window shield. Feeling a sense of duty to his fellow demon, Damien went to visit her in the hospital. Killi looked like a sick mess at first, but she immediately seemed to feel better when she saw that Damien had brought her gifts of food, wine, flowers, jewelery, and money. She just went to the hospital to get pampered, but now she discharged herself from the establishment and went on a shopping spree with Damien. All's well that ends well, and Damien wondered why they hadn't hung out before this.

20. Tag someone? If you don't do tagging, tell me [6]'s dark secret.
Amarey acts like she's fine with everything that's been done to her, but the scars from her experimentation stings every time she tries to relax, her bones ache with every extreme feat she accomplishes, and she often feels stimulation overload from her chemically enhanced senses. Sine her growth has been stunted, she hates the way she looks like a fourteen year old at the age of twenty-eight. Sometimes she wants to scream in public when it all gets too much, but Kellan and Kwame's influences were so great on her that she can't bring herself to do it. She still blames herself for Jabir's death. The only way she sleeps at night is by blasting loud music to overrule everything else. She doesn't really enjoy her existence much at all. And she deeply wants to know about her past.


And lastly... I tag all of you to do it! ^^

Hey~ If anyone wants a good exercise for creating and developing characters in a story setting, feel free to use this one! It's rather handy I think.

I: Write a character logline. (single sentence)
-The essence of the character in one smooth sentence. Who they are, what's their deal, why they're important, introduction.

II: Write your character's problem. (single sentence)
-The problem our character is trying to combat, their own personal goal, brief and specific.

III: Write your characters "solution" to their problem. (single sentence)
-What the character thinks is the correct solution to their problem, character's own answer to their problem.

IV: Write your character's "conflict between". (a few sentences)
-The conflicts that get in the way of the solution, internal or external.

V: Write your characters limitations. (a few sentences)
-Internal, what gets in the way of the character completing his mission, how are they sabotaging themselves.

VI: Write your characters complications. (a few sentences)
-External, what gets in the way of the character completing his mission, how is the world sabotaging them.

VII: Write your characters greatest fear. (a few sentences)
-See it through their eyes, what are they scarred of? Often relates to the problem.

VIII: Write your characters physical description. (100 words max.)
-Base of what makes them special, first glance, a quick look from a stranger.

IX: Test-drive: (Write a 250 - 1000 words)
-Test drive for the character you just created. Explore him/her in a scene. Your choice of whether or if there's a conflict, etc. This is just to get you used to this character's voice, personality, outlook, etc.

X: Rewrite the original logline.
-Things may have changed, and to at least review and perfect character tagline with edits and a better idea.

It is unfortunately not ^^;
Feel free to add in new members and take it over if you like, though! It's still a good concept and it could save you the trouble of creating your own group.
