GGaD » Spec's Thread of Character and Idea Rambles

SpecterTheGreat · April 9, 2021 09:54:58

I don't know why I like so much the idea of Spec not having a physical form. They naturally don't exist in a tangible state tbh, but they can't interact directly with humans like that (unless it's via power but they don't do that idk).
Their "humanoid" body is just a creation of theirs, and their soul is an imitation of how humans' are.
Having those traits as part of their existence in the tangible world puts limits on Spec though. Otherwise they'd be one with reality.

Lol I know it's probs weird but this is the foundation of Specter's being and it's something I found very interesting to think about ever since I created them.

Honestly I know that hair can be done into several styles but it still feels kinda weird when I change a character's hairstyle xD

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 01:52:55

My goodness lol I just had a stroke of inspiration and a vision for a good color palette lol I love this xD

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 22:31:32

Well nooooo Gorgon's third stage from F/GO really reminds me of one of my character's "alternate forms" and I don't know what to think
I hope the colors are different enough though???? And also Gorgon's aesthetic is based on snakes and stuff while this other one isn't... idk adfgjkdfhlkfhgñ

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 22:33:00

Tbh it's probably the wings and the "clothing".
Hmmm I think that aside from that the colors are different enough.
Oof that the hair also changes color at the tips, though my character doesn't have snakes on the tips lol
There's also some other details that hopefully make the designs different enough.

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 22:41:27

Well ok let's switch topic away from character design now.

Lol I was thinking some stuff about Dilanne.
I was wondering how well she'd do in a swordfight and in the end I concluded that she wouldn't fare well at all because she can't handle a sword except for basic moves. She hasn't learned. I guess her instinct would help her not die immediately if she ever got in a swordfight, but that wouldn't last too long.
She's better with guns. I headcanon that someone (maybe in the crew lol) helped her perfect her aim and also she has awesome reflexes, so she's just good at shooting.

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 22:46:47

That's in the case that her charm doesn't work. It's only with her voice and it can be powerful with most people she uses it on. And like, it's for area effect too lol. She's very confident in it and tbh she can really be deadly if she's in certain situations. Dilanne is not a siren for no reason.
But like most of the times (up to now) her charmspeak just lets her dissuade others from actually engaging her in battle or something, so she's safe.

Lol also in my last post I said she wouldn't "die immediately" but I forgot she can't die from wounds like that bruh.

SpecterTheGreat · April 11, 2021 23:50:45

Kinda wondering if André can be mistaken for a girl or if it's drawing errors from me.

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 00:38:55

Cross-eyed Dion xDDD

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 01:30:49

Youri is stuck at the physical age of a child forever (like, there's a one in a million chance of his appearance aging) but... what would he look like as a young adult... owo...

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 16:44:07

Trying to decide on the voice headcanon for Allen because for all the time I've roleplayed him I have not defined what his voice sounds like in my head

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 17:36:01

I feel bad for imagining Leila as a participant in Worst Cooks in America
To begin with, she's not American. And also I don't think she's that bad xD. She can't cook well but I really really don't think she does stuff like... that...

It's confirmed she CANNOT bake lasagna though.
In HPA Martin just stays away from the kitchen whenever his mom's cooking or he just takes on the responsibility of making lunch/dinner. He's not very good at cooking either.

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 22:31:57

Leila and Martin are pros at making sandwiches though. Leila's better at that xD.
The kitchen problems come when either of them tries to make an "actual meal".
Martin doesn't like eating sandwiches every day xD but for breakfast that's ok.

Also Martin likes pizza.

GalaxianExplosion · April 12, 2021 22:37:32

~~They should go work at Subway~~

Shouhei does too! Only related to HPA but yayy

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 22:47:00

Ultimate Sandwich Maker
oh wait that sounds like the machine lol

Would Shouhei like to help Martin in an attempt to bake a pizza one day

GalaxianExplosion · April 12, 2021 22:50:05

He would love to :0 but they need a supervisor who knows they won't blow up the oven :D ~~as in...not Leila? Possibly?~~

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 22:56:22

They shall one day bake a pizza, then. Once the supervisor is found, of course xD.

GalaxianExplosion · April 12, 2021 23:21:59

It's less about the supervisor than the fact we have...too many threads. So, one day.

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · April 12, 2021 23:56:11

I can only imagine what's going on through Aurora's head while she hears the conversation about apples.

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 00:00:14

And I'm sorry Echo I feel kinda bad that you're giving a nice description for HDK in that one thread and André doesn't care and is just like "you're sus".
He really doesn't care though xD if I had another character, they might react to the description or at least maybe I would narrate thoughts, but not with André.

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 00:43:06

I was fooling around with MediBang and I gave Dion avocado eyes xD
I forgot to revert the coloring so I almost fell out of my seat when I went to work on coloring his hair XDDD

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 11:13:43

Sad that I haven't roleplayed enough on SF to make Spec and their "gang thing" known lol
I swear I have too many ideas for them but I just don't know how to use them. I'm not very active on SF to begin with, I just check and don't log in.

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 11:18:05

I heard someone say "San Martín" and my first thought was Martin with a halo
Martin is holy now xD

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 21:59:15

The contrast in Martin's eating habits wow
When he was younger he ate with the family only when he was called but sometimes he hung around the place in hopes an adult would notice him and invite him to the table. If he wasn't called and he was hungry anyways, he'd go get something from the kitchen trying not to be notices.
Martin from the present (counts from right before his death too) simply doesn't eat unless he's explicitly called to the family table. Otherwise he just goes hungry and if he's like really starving he might sneak an apple out of the kitchen plus some water.

He's not going to grow if he doesn't eat well :/

SpecterTheGreat · April 14, 2021 08:35:50

I'm having flashbacks to the thread in which the Mamba and the Cheetah tried to make tortillas

SpecterTheGreat · April 14, 2021 21:23:25

I was wondering from where in the world I got the name "Nyoko" so I looked it up.
So sad that a roleplayer chose a name and completely forgot why. I'm hopeless lol.

Anyways apparently it's a name related to Japanese and it means something like "treasure" or "gem" and I understand why I chose it for Bix.
I still wonder where I chose it from? I mean I don't choose Japanese names often. Usually my first pick is something from a Romance or Germanic language or something else. Or something I made up. Or sometimes I look up meanings if I want that. Idk the thing here is that I don't use a lot of Japanese names.

SpecterTheGreat · April 15, 2021 19:04:34

I'm going to end up repeating clothing designs lol.
By now my trademarks are: a sash or belt around the waist, black leggings, and knee-high boots.

Not to mention (not related to clothing) that a lot of my characters have a bob-style haircut lol.

SpecterTheGreat · April 15, 2021 19:06:01

Also I lke dresses and skirts too much for my own good. It's just so delightful to draw them...
I think I'm layering too much clothing on this design oops

But most of my designs are simple.

SpecterTheGreat · April 15, 2021 19:08:31

And also I thinkkkkk I messed up Aereon's fashion taste.
It's not her fault but now I'm wondering if she has a good fashion taste or not?

Idk about my "fashion taste" for designs. I just kinda put what comes to mind

SpecterTheGreat · April 15, 2021 19:09:19

Dion certainly deserves an apology from his roleplayer.
