Pimping those OCs
This is an OC meet-and-greet/discussion meme! We all love Original Characters here, so let's chat about them ones we have, the ones we're working on and even get some advice if we need it.
RULES
Meet My OC | OC Building Discussion/Advice | ATP/Enable Me/RP With Me.
- There are three primary headers. If you want to talk about something related to OCs that isn't mentioned in one of them, feel free to make a header for it or ask me in the contact post and I will make one and link to it on the front page.
- All Original Characters are acceptable here! Whether from an Original Universe, MMO/RPG game designed for building OCs, or even a Fandom universe. All OCs are welcome.
- Yes, discussion can take place anonymously on this meme if you feel more comfortable doing it that way, but if it becomes too rude/disrespectful/out of hand, I will disable anonymous comments. This is a safe place for anyone who comes here to talk about original characters. Please find other venues if you get the urge to act otherwise.
- No Obnoxious Coding. No banners, no blinking text, no sparklies, no tables, no pictures directly in the comment (make them links). Use all the colors you like and then some, but please remember no ridiculously large or small text.
- Be Polite and Courteous. No bashing, no rude comments. Be respectful to everyone as you want them to be to you.
- If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to direct me to any problems that need handling please do so here

Martin Gallagher | Modern fantasy? idk | Socially Awkward Man Who Talks to Objects
The reason for all of this is due to the power he received after drinking contaminated beer at a tasting party. Since then, he's had the unfortunate ability to hear and converse with all inanimate objects, which, needless to say, makes him sound pretty crazy. Thus the loss of his job, family and friends.
[What's the Canon Like?]
Martin lives in what I guess counts as a modern fantasy AU of our world. Small events are different–there was a hurricane named Vince that destroyed a power plant that caused a chemical leak, contaminating people throughout the entire east coast. Those that didn't die got superpowers, though the majority of them are certifiably useless (turning garden hoses into lassoes, for example). The few who have useful powers (invisibility, etc.) sometimes become superheroes and/or supervillains in the major American cities, but the rest have to enter the governmental support system made for them. This system generates things such as job placement, support groups, and housing that the superpowered's can enter into.
This, is where Martin lives. Specifically in the Rhode Island branch. He's been cut-off by his family and, eventually, yearns to be accepted by them once again but until then he's working as a detective with the Providence Police Force. He likes it well enough. His partner is one of the few people that accept him, so that helps. The murders he deals with... not so much. As of his canon point, he's running to ensure the safety of his family after a series of successful investigations have made him a target for a local, superpowered ganglord.

[BONUS IC QUESTIONS]
What has been the most important event in your life so far?
Um. Well. I guess... I guess that'd have to be my powers, right? I guess that's pretty spectacular. I mean, who else gets to say they got superpowers from drinking a beer? Not many. Well. Not many other than the people with me who drank the same beer. I guess they could say that happened to them too. ... If they could say anything. I think one of them might have died.
