I've been tagged for the first time in my LIFE

by

1) What's your character's name?
Domnopalus

2) How old is he/she?
well over 18,000 years

3) Is your OC a boy or girl?
Definitely male

4) What's his/her race?
Swamp Monster

Appearance

1) If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Um, a HUUUUUGE inexplicable amount of stares, and probably a whole lot of screams, too; for appearance alone


2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Domnopalus' world is a strange one sort of overlapping/adjacent to ours. He lives in the swamp, and swamps exist in our world, but he lives more on the cryptozoological side of the physical (or metaphysical) spectrum.


3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
Probably his color--a pretty blatant shade of green. Other than that, his six eyes and mouthful of teeth would probably be pretty defining.

4) Would you consider your OC as attractive?.
Are you kidding? OF COURSE.


Personality

1) Temper?
Dom does have a temper, but he's usually pretty cool all around. When he does get in a passion it's pretty bad for any bystanders.

2) Does your character ever get depressed?
Not really. He has a sympathetic side to him and will feel pretty badly if he is misunderstood because of his looks alone, i.e. if he tries to approach someone out of friendliness and they scream and run away. That can hurt. But other than that, when you're immortal, there really isn't much to get depressed about if it's on a personal, introverted level. He's used to seeing the world go by, and you get pretty comfortable with yourself and the way things happen after a while.

3) Leader or Follower?
Leader, but usually independently. He's not one to really rally up a group and lead them on a picketing mission or something.

4) What is the main aspect(s) of his/her personality?
A good general term for his outward personality would be 'badass.' Totally. However, he is -very- eloquent and tends to talk in a greasy, manipulative, mock-aristocratic manner. He's got a very ironic sense of humor--sardonic, one might call it. On the other hand, he has a side of his personality that he seldom shows outwardly except to creatures/people he's on realllllly good terms with, that consists of a very sensitive side that's deeply passionate. His tough hide tends to cover this up, and he'll rarely if ever show feelings unless he's completely alone.

History

1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Nope - he's born of the elements.


2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Yeah - he has been all his 'life.' When you're immortal, your friends tend to be short-lived.


3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Oh, tons. They're not really traumatizing anymore though--he's gotten pretty callous over the years.

4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Ooooh, that's a hard one - I can't say

Romance

1) Single?
Eyup.

2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Sort of, but not really. (no details)

3) Virgin?
He's asexual - 'nuff said.

4) Does your character like flirting?
Yes, but he's never serious - it's always in a mock/ridiculing way.

Symbolism

1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
Monster pretty much sums it up, though if you want to get technical a horse, dragon, or crocodile might do.

2) Musical Instument?
He doesn't really have fingers, but if I would associate him with a musical instrument, probably piano. To me, for some reason, pianos have always looked as if they had eyes or teeth where the keyboard is. They're huge so that might classify them as 'monstrous.' And they have legs.

3) Element?
Earth

4) Planet?
Earth

Showing the Love

1) Do you draw your character?
Are you freaking kidding?

2) Do you write about him/her?
I do.

3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
Strangely enough, I -have- found places to RP Dommie. RPs with Dom often turn out to be my most favorite, too.

4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Tons of ways. He'll be included in my upcoming graphic novel for sure, though he comes into the story a little further down the line. I've done several varied kinds of sculptures (the best medium for this being Super Sculpey), and when I'm bored say, at school, I'll often doodle him and then leave the doodles lying around in classrooms and such so everyone at school might run across him (and hopefully be a little bit weirded out).

RANDOMIZE!

1) Is your character wanted for anything?
Probably - but usually that gets forgotten about as time goes on

2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?
a. Really sensitive organs on the outside of his body (the black shiny orbs)
b. Loses control of himself sometimes
c. Too aloof sometimes
d. stsigoloozotpyrc

3) Strengths?
a. Razor sharp wit
b. Razor sharp teeth
c. Multiple keen eyes
d. Can 'breathe' under water for undefined amount of hours

4) Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Swamp fumes?

5) What's one quirk about your him/her?
His drool is slightly acidic

6) Does your character have any phobias?
Nope

7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Ooooh. If Dom ever gets angry, it will definitely be a blind rage. If someone has the nerve to try to capture him, or attack him, that could easily get him in a blind rage. On an intellectual level, if he's wrapped up with the happenings of the time and something completely unrighteous happens to someone around him that he's developed a care for, that can get him in a blind rage, too.


8) Does your OC like chickens?
Yum yum

The Final Question

What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?

Doubtlessly it's different than any other relationship with any other character. Domnopalus is like a soul companion. I consider him the extension of my soul. It's really hard to explain. I guess, for those of you who have them, if I had a 'fursona' he'd be it (though he's more scaly), in case that helps anyone to understand the connection a bit better. The other thing I say is, if my soul were to take shape on its own, it would be Domnopalus. Now, he sort of serves as a companion. If ever I feel like life is getting too boring, I remember Dom and how much larger than life and important he is to me. It's almost a way of looking into myself. It's amazing the kind of things you can put 'stock emotions' in like this and actually look forward to if you trick your mind to. I could probably be saying the same thing about a sock or something, but no--for me, it's Domnopalus.
