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

Feda Gandamak | RPG mimicking fantasy | vile douchebag who needs taming into a good guy
Feda is a mage, the common descriptor for any human capable of creating and using magical energy for any effect. In his case, he doesn't actually know any spells and instead uses it to boost his physical abilities and to summon creatures of various types. His world's rules of physics are sort of replaced with an RPG game system, which he is aware of. That's generally not used for comedic purposes, it's just sort of a thing everyone knows.
Anyway, magic has been sealed away in his world for thousands of years, only recently trickling back. As a result, it's primarily hidden from the general population and in fact Feda's magic was artificially activated as part of a sinister scheme by a mysterious organization that is manipulating the mages of the world for a nefarious purpose. Although he is unaware, he is a pawn in a plan for WORLD DOMINATION.
As the cost of his activation, he was given only ten years to live and then thrust without guidance into a violent and secretive world of magic and monsters. He didn't really handle it well and has become a distant and abusive dickbag who relieves the stress of his shitty life by torturing his fellow mages to death for abusing their power...which is almost all of them, entirely because of the above mentioned plan being designed to spread those types far and wide. Eventually though he becomes caught up in the emergence of the 'Protagonist' of his 'game', who after a series of near murder experiences he joins. Through the help of this Protagonist he has his curse lifted and lives on, also helping in returning magic properly.
Cut ahead ten years and the state of the world has changed enormously due to the now huge mage population and he's again pulled into the fray by the Protagonist to protect the world from the same organization...And eventually from the reason magic was sealed away in the first place.
As a teenager he keeps people away by being distinctly abusive to males and by flirting in a way meant to repel with girls. He thinks this is his way of having as much fun with his waning life, but really it's a way to keep his distance from everyone since he's terrified of having a connection with anyone when he's a horrendous sack of shit who is going to die anyway. Once his curse is lifted, he starts trying to be better about things, but the enormity of his near death experience has left him with thrill seeking tendencies and a quiet belief that life can come and go at a moment's notice. Because of this, he's horribly irresponsible and can't settle down in one place, instead becoming a world travelling adventurer and fathering a lot of children by accident and being a deadbeat dad.
[What's the Canon Like?]
Early on it's quite similar to the usual urban fantasy environment. Mystical elements in a modern day setting, which are kept secret to the advantage of the mystically inclined. However, there are a number of differences to the modern world in this setting. The time under mage rulership and then the sudden disappearance of mystical elements has caused a bit of a weird world. Most of them are pretty subtle, but in short international community is stronger due to a sense of relationship between the non-magical humans who created society in a post mage world and since pretty much every myth or religion was true back in the mage days, superstition has dwindled down to nearly nothing. The world itself is about twice as big as Earth and the geography is weird.
After magic is re-established, everything turns on its head. In ancient times mages were a very small percentage of the human population and were still able to basically rule all humans, but due to interbreeding during the years in which magic was a non-factor 40% of the world population are mages when magic returns. Inhuman creatures and mankind try to co-exist with a more tolerant modern mindset, but ancient terrors reawaken along the way. The International Sorcery Control Commission (I.S.C.C, usually pronounced Ice) attempts to police and aid the world in chaotic times. The world itself has changed, gaining new satellites and growing to four times Earth's size with new locations in place.
[Important Links] I ain't never gonna finish this.
Also! Of note is that when writing all this out I did so with the specific intention of one day getting other players to create or adapt OCs to fill in some gaps, so holes all over the place on purpose.
