Description
Finally the list concludes with characters I created that people are least likely to know.
They either haven’t appeared mostly on my DeviantART and Tumblr accounts instead of in any of my YouTube videos or if they did it is a video that many people have forgotten about. These are the characters where is someone remembers them is probably because I talked about the character to that person.
Worth noting that many of these are based on the Trope ‘Expy’, which means to insert character traits and roles into a different character. This was done since I regret using a lot of copyrighted characters that I didn’t create and having them interact with my characters to the point where removing them would cause them too loose a good chunk of their own characterization. This factor is the main reason I’ve had trouble probably using them since I know many may be hated off the bad for replacing beloved characters.
Also the Expy of ‘the crazy psycho who chases Drogo’ won’t be on the list, I haven’t shard her online yet because like with Nameless, I need to retool her character.
On this page we have:
Nick
Her entire character can be summed up with the word ‘tomboy’ but I tried to be clever when writing her description. She’s kinda an Expy of Wriggle Nightbug in that she plays the role of ‘the other friend’, she did appear in a YouTube video but it was years after I quit Touhou to where support was low. Ive redrawn her several times and im still not happy with how she looks, I want to try and redesign her shorter so she can actually look the age she is supposed to be.
‘Spearhead’ Arrow Dragon
Expy of Stardust Dragon, or at least my overly-cutesy version of him. I couldn’t give up this guy, he’s just too adorable, kinda ironic since Stardust was originally added as a chibified version of himself to parody ‘softening things up for the kids’.
Sylph
Expy of Cirno making her the hardest character to properly introduce since I’m sure many, many, MANY people won’t be happy she’s been replaced, even with a character with matching IQ. She has been in two videos but again, long after support was fading, doesn’t help that looking back the second one isn’t very good. She also needs a redesign because she looks too ‘ani-mu-mu’.
‘Biff’ Cherub of Light
While this character was in a major video he didn’t exactly do much beyond being intimidated by Crush, plus this was back when he was nothing more than a pink adorable fluff ball, the character has been since turned into an Expy of my version of Winged Kuriboh. Im glad I decided to make this list because this has given me a chance to really think about him, he appears on my Tumblr account but he was still pink and was never called ‘Biff’, that’s because those are two changes I just made now since; 1 someone pointed out he looks too much like Kirby and 2 having others refer to him as ‘Cherub of Light’ is a bit of a mouthful, so let’s go with biff (as in ‘biff to the face’).
Floyd
Ahh, the character where I decided to invoke the Trope ‘Canon Foreigner’…and I have since barley used him, whoops. I really should use him more because there are some great joke potential with him.
Starla
I consider Starla to be one of my most tragic and well written characters…which of course never showed up in the two videos she appears in nor that comic where she tires on different glasses, which I thought would be cute and funny but is pretty lame looking back. She needs a redesign as well because…urg…that chest, she looks like she’s hiding oranges under her shirt, except she has no shirt, your clearly trying too hard younger me.
Damien & Skully
May as well group them together because they were created to be as such. Anyway this is where things get a bit…bitter, since the video that introduces these guys was the first domino that lead me to one day hate and quit on Touhou. I honestly used to think that my walfas videos were second in popularity to the videos with my own characters since I saw it as a silly little spin-off, after Drogo’s success I tried introducing these two so I could use them later as Crush’s lackeys. I tried a video that doesn’t’ use the characters I commonly use and tried for the first time to create an actual story with my videos, I also posted the video on my birthday expecting as much feedback as I usually get and…people largely ignored it since ‘it wasn’t Touhou’ and one person even tried to turn it into a conversation about the series since ‘it takes place in hell so it might involve judge lady’. That was the first time I learn how my Walfas stuff overshadows the work I’m much more proud of which lead to an annoyance which over time built into a hatred leading me to quit the series for good. So yeah the reason I don’t use these two that often is because of the bad taste that whole experience left.
And that’s the end of the lists for my OCs. Apologises for the bitterness of that last part, it’s really hard to think of those two demons and not think of everything that surrounded them. But let’s not let this end on a sour note but rather a positive one, after all thinking about these lists I’m quiet lucky, I was able to categorise my OCs by popularity not only based on how often I used them but based on the feedback I have received about them over the years, all the comments of people saying how they remember and liked these guys, all the smiles and laughter they have brought, how many other people can do that?
I don’t consider myself that talented or intelligent nor would I call myself a ‘celebrity’ but if there is one thing I can say it is that I have created some characters that many people love which is something that, well…it really means a lot to me. Sure it’s probably a small number of people but let me tell you that one true fan is worth more than words can describe.
