Medjed | Egyptian mythology | ota

[gotlegs]

I am the most accidentally hilarious figure in Egyptian mythology. A terrifying underworld being who looks exactly like a bed sheet ghost. And the internet absolutely lost it when they discovered me.

In Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead, I am described as "the smiter," a mysterious spirit who exists in Duat. My name literally means "the one who strikes" or "the smiter." Ancient Egyptians feared the unseen smiter whose eyes destroy the unworthy. I am judgment and punishment personified if a soul didn't pass the tests in the afterlife. I can obliterate them with my eye beams.

In 2012, I went from legitimate theological terror, a being who could erase existence in the afterlife, to kawaii culture icon because I look like someone threw a tablecloth over their head for Halloween. I am Medjed, the ancient world's most accidentally adorable nightmare.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

"Adorable nightmare"? How does that even work?

Matt Murdock | MCU | OTA

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I'm Matthew Murdock. I'm an attorney who can't hold my life together, will consistently and spectacularly torpedo my friendships and relationships, make overtly bad decisions and hurt everyone I love.

I'm also a masked vigilante. These things are not always in direct correlation.

[okamimommi]

[Okami Amaterasu has...a unique set of circumstances. Now if Matt were purely making way in the world with just the normal set of senses afforded to others with his disability, perhaps he would just sense a wolf taking up the space the goddess does. If he were making way with some kind of spiritual sight, he'd more likely see a fair maiden with an aura of red and gold clothing her.

In the end, perhaps the man without fear is possibly getting some of the weirdest feedback ever.

Very quietly, a gentle voice though is...well it's heard. More like it's in his head like a memory.

Greetings, Matthew Murdock. Child of Man. Child of Justice. I am Okami Amaterasu.

Do you think things are this way because of a personality problem?

No, she doesn't realize how absolutely terrifying she might be.]

zack fair | final fantasy vii | ota

[heroicdream]

Hey there! Name's Zack.

All I wanted was to be a hero, and for a while I thought I had it pretty good. But I kinda worked for the military-industrial complex without realizing we were the bad guys for a stupidly long time. Good news: I eventually wised up.

Bad news: Not before losing all my friends, failing to stop a town burning, being trapped as a labrat for a few years, and dying. That part sucked.

[octogenesis]

How did you come to the realization that your company wasn't what you thought it was?

Agnès Claudel | Trails (Daybreak + Beyond the Horizon) | OTA

[octogenesis]

My name is Agnes Cla - [ She stops, finding herself changing her own introduction. ]

Actually.. Claudel is my mother's maiden name. My father is the President of Calvard, so my last name is really Gramheart. I use my mother's name mostly so that people don't know that I'm the president's daughter...but I prefer Claudel anyway.

I'm a member of the Student Council and Arkride Solutions, the latter of which has allowed me to see that there's more than black and white to the world.

I.. also inherited several devices as part of my great-grandfather's legacy which were indirectly responsible for a number of disasters in the country. ...I feel partially responsible for it.

[onewithwater]

How are you responsible for such things?

arthur morgan | red dead redemption II

[beatitudes]

Arthur Morgan. I rob folk for a livin' — if you wanna call it a livin'.




(…h- hi. 😣 please specify if you'd rather write w/canon 35-year-old arthur or younger version. thank u.)

35-year-old Arthur is good for me

[uvula]

Can you provide clarification on the manner of robbing?

Daeron III Targaryen | A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

[dreamerofdragons]

I am Prince Daeron Targaryen, third of my name. Most call me Daeron the Drunken, though rarely to my face. It’s appropriate.

[erinnon]

Are you satisfied with that title?

Sherlock Holmes 🔎 BBC Sherlock 🔎 OTA

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

My name is Sherlock Holmes.

I'm a junkie who solves crimes as an alternative to getting high. I play the violin to help me think. I don't talk, eat, or sleep for days on end. I will absolutely find any case-related reason to embark on self-destruction through drug use.

I am the most unpleasant, ignorant, rude, and all round obnoxious areshole anyone could ever have the misfortune to meet. I am dismissive of the virtuous; unaware of the beautiful; and uncomprehending in the face of the happy.

I will solve your murder, but it takes John Watson to save your life.

[havenomercy]

If you think you’re the worst person I’ve ever met, you’re deluded.

lonán burke — oc — ota

[athambia]

Lonán Burke. I'm the disappointment eldest son in a family otherwise comprised of public servants and everyday heroes. Instead of following in my family's footsteps, I decided to become a glorified desk jockey for Uncle Sam.

I work as a Principal Liaison for Non-Institutional Expertise with the Bureau of Anomalous Research. In short, I'm responsible for conducting interviews and gathering ethnographic observations on laypeople who have knowledge, experience, or prior contact with what the government refers to as "anomalous entities."

Most of my colleagues will tell you I'm a sanctimonious bastard and they're probably not wrong, because I use my intelligence and an infuriatingly blasé attitude as a protective front. I'll ask you deeply personal questions about yourself and pretend that I'm just as willing to lay my own heart bare, but it's really an obfuscating cover to hide an eternal flame of righteous indignation and deep mortification.

[scp073]

Asking deeply personal questions while offering nothing truthful about yourself simply comes with that particular career territory in my experience.

specter | arknights

[beacon]

I'm Laurentina. Have you heard tales of a great country that lies deep underwater? That country is real and its name is Ægir. My mother was a grand architect who planned many of its cities, and I suppose I inherited a bit of her artistic vision. In a different life, I would have been a sculptor.

I'm Shark, Abyssal Hunter of the Second Company. As for what the Abyssal Hunters are... we sing, we dance, we battle. We execute the Seaborn which threaten our grand civilization... and, I suppose, your more meager civilization as well. Though that's probably news to you, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm not bragging or asking for gratitude... being an Abyssal Hunter simply suited me best, that's all there is to it.

I'm Specter, patient and operator of Rhodes Island. I'm told that Rhodes Island took me in after I lost my sense of self, and they continue to provide me a place to stay even after I've regained what I'd lost. I suppose I'm already on my third life, aren't I? The titles are different and the standard of living is certainly poorer, but aside from my need for medical treatment, not much has fundamentally changed from before. I point my sawblade in the direction I'm told to and I rend the enemy into pieces.

As for the rest of me, I know that you dry-landers have a simple way of learning more about others. You ask and I answer. Or do I have that wrong?

[bettercallfoggy]

Franklin Percy Nelson.

Foggy if you're into nicknames that sound like I wandered out of a weather report. I'm a lawyer. A good one, actually, which is surprising considering I survive almost exclusively on caffeine and panic. The caffeine probably exacerbates the panic, but we don't have to talk about that.

I talk too much when I'm nervous, which is frequently. I also mask with humor.

I am deeply loyal to a fault. If you're my friend, congratulations: I will absolutely go down with your ship while lecturing you about why we should have docked three disasters ago.

I snore. I stress-eat. I say I'm fine when I'm not fine and then deliver a 45-minute monologue about why I'm fine. I also attract similarly minded people because birds of a feather. With that said I should probably sharpen my interpersonal communication skills.

I will hype you up like you're the second coming and then privately Google 'how to save idiot from self-destruction.' Google is frequently inconclusive.

I get jealous. I get insecure. I absolutely overthink things. But I'll show up, even when I'm scared. Especially when I'm scared.

[pluviosus]

I have a weather name, too! It's Rain, but it's not a nickname, just ... What I'm called. How did you get a nickname like Foggy?

Fitz Fellow | Tangle Tower | OTA

[cryptobotanist]

Fitz Fellow, 24. I'm the gardener at my family's estate. My cousin calls me a cryptobotanist, but I don't know about all of that. I just like plants.

[Despite being a staggering height well over six feet with a broad frame, his overall intimidating stature is rather reduced by how clearly uncomfortable he seems with speaking.]

My...fiancée left me, recently.

Delia Battista ✨ Star Trek OC ✨OTA, 21+ for any shipping or smut

[attackpatternbattista]

I am Captain Delia Battista, of the Battista's Blade.

But I am also the daughter of notorious, dangerous, and extremely well connected Orion crime-and-pirate lord Nicolette Chastain, headmistress of the Chastain Syndicate and the Black Floatilla, a massive various market trade and pirate fleet that patrols the edge of claimed space. I was being raised, among several siblings, to take over this empire when my mother intended to retire and rule from the shadows.

This involved training in reading people, manipulation, and a broad number of various other lessons including intelligence gathering, and self defense in numerous arts since practically I could walk.

I don't talk about it much, and I don't like talking about it much, because of how much it can affect peoples' perception of me, even if I don't exactly keep it secret, I don't go around shouting it from the rooftops, either, since I took my younger sister and left my mother's employ about twenty standard years ago.

I want to stand on my own merits. And not just be Delia Chastain, she who inherited. Let alone a puppet my mother controls through fear.

[fellfurthest]

Relatable, honestly.

Do you ever miss it, now that you're walking the supposedly "Straight and narrow" path?

Min Seunwoo - Antique - OTA

[cakeprince]

I'm a gay of demonic charm.

Jun | Gatchaman | OTA

[scienceninjaswan]

Oh, hi. My name's Jun. Also known as Jun the Swan or G-3 of the Science Ninja Team.

When I was still a girl, Dr. Nambu of the International Science Organization took my brother and I in to train us. When I was sixteen, we started fighting against Galactor and that went on under their various leaders for... Oh, it's been years. Four or five, I think? It's hard to keep track, honestly.

Doesn't really matter. I'm dead. We all died saving the world from Galactor's true leader. I hope we did, anyway, the last thing I remember is... Hm. I think I'd like to think we did, at least.

It's a shame. I always did want to reopen my club.

[onewithwater]

…you’re dead?

“Marie” | OC | OTA

[onewithwater]

I’m Marie. A water creature able to shift between flesh and blood and water. I have a bad habit of being flirtatious towards girls and an equally bad habit of self-deprecating myself.

Also, my morality is all over the place - sometimes I want to be the hero, sometimes I want to be the villain.

Re: “Marie” | OC | OTA

[disneyprincessofhell]

But you understand boundaries when it comes to flirting, and that means a lot!

Maedhros | The Silmarillion | OTA

[holdshisown]

I am... [He seems to struggle against the words for a long time before giving in.] Nelyafinwë Maitimo Fëanorion. [He sighs.] Though I'd much prefer to be called Maedhros, it is much less of a mouthful.

I am a kinslayer. I didn't want to become one but my father asked me to make an ill-thought out and overly dramatic oath and now I need to kill anyone keeping a silmaril from us to keep mine and my families souls from falling into the Everlasting Darkness. This is not going very well, as you might have surmised...

slides in as a guy whose only simarillion knowledge is nightfall on middle earth by blind guardian

[agelesselegy]

It sounds like you could be doing a lot worse, all things considered.

Ace Ukiyo 🦊 Kamen Rider Geats 🦊 OTA

[starofthestarofthestars]

My name is Ace Ukiyo. Kamen Rider Geats. Champion of the Desire Grand Prix. 'Star of the Star of the Stars,' if you believe the marketing. The God of Creation.

But you wanted honest, and titles only show the shape of the masks I wear.

I'm two thousand years old. I've died young in almost every life. Sometimes as a child. Sometimes as a soldier in wars I couldn't stop. Sometimes just... because. I fought in the DGP for some lives, but not in most. And every single time I was reborn, I eventually found my father's golden Caesar coin, and I remembered. Everything. Every life. Every death. Everyone I ever loved and lost.

I spent those two thousand years looking for my mother, Mitsume. Remembering her telling me to forget her was the first thing that always came back, and I had to know why. Why did I always remember everything? Why did I keep coming back? Why did she tell me to forget her? What happened to her?

I spent every life trying to find her. My most recent victories in the DGP gave me fame, celebrity, the 'Star of the Star of the Stars'... but that was just me screaming into the void. 'Here I am! Please see me. Please let her see me.'

By the time I actually found her, the DGP had been using her as a battery for two millennia, draining her empty. They made her into their Goddess of Creation, stripped her will away, and used her to grant the wishes of their victors. It was all to create spectacle and competition for their viewing pleasure... fueled by the lost happiness of those who didn't win their games. A lot of people who never even played. Who never even knew it was happening to them, and to their worlds.

But Mitsume knew. And for all her power, she could nothing to stop it.

And then... they used her up, and she died.

The truth? I've watched too many people become stories I couldn't finish, my mother included. So... what I want is to create a world where everyone can be happy. No sacrificed happiness along the way. That's what I'm going to do with the power she left me, and with the life her and my erased father granted me.

Because I... don't actually know what else to do with myself, now that I know.

It's the only thing that seems right.

[i_peace]

[whoa]

[this is the most forthcoming he's ever seen Ace be. It's definitely too personal for it to be some trick or another]

...

[he... doesn't really know what to do with this information, even if he knows most of it in broad strokes]

[shuffles... awkwardly...]

Pauline Bonheur | OC | OTA

[ribbonbon]

I'm Pauline Vivienne Bonheur. I'm a normal sixteen year old girl and a sophmore at the St. Rose Academy for Young Ladies.

My parents are divorced, I haven't seen my mom since I was four and my dad is always working but I always tell him everything is fine even though I'm actually kind of mad at him a lot of the time because he doesn't really pay attention to me. I'm super insecure because I'm not good at anything and I'm kinda stupid and I'm pretty sure I'm kind of a loser, so I work really hard because being useful is kind of all I've got going for me and I'm pretty sure it's the only reason most people like me. I can't say no to people and I think everyone knows that but I can't really just stop helping people because I don't know if I'm anything if I can't do that.

[Oh God, oh geez.]

[seespotshield]

Hey. Take a breath. You're talking so fast that it's making my mouth feel sore in solidarity.

[ so says the hyena man? he means well, but his face is kind of set into a permanent glower. ]

Hei | Darker Than Black

[legitlessgrump]

My name is Hei, and at one point, one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. They even called me the Black Reaper for killing many Contractors. And such beings were emotionless people who gained great powers. Though the truth is complex, as some can still have and act on feelings.

Back then, I was an orphan, and only had my sister. We would often watch the stars, before she became a Contractor. That's when the Syndicate came for her to make her into a weapon. They didn't care about me initially since I held no powers. But someone willing to kill to keep their sister and whine less during training? And all for free? Too tempting for them. So in the name of protecting her, I killed many, many people.

And even as she vanished from my life, giving me her abilities before doing so, I didn't stop. I tried my best to be like them, to not let the weight of taking a life get to me. Not that it stopped anger and sorrow from taking over.

After being convinced the Syndicate didn't hold my best interest, especially as they planned on wiping out all Contractors in one single strike, I ruined their plans. And I didn't stop, to the point my existence made them want to erase me for good. This cost me what few friends I had left however, and eventually, I saw the rest of my life through the end of a glass bottle, and drank.

Until a kid I thought was my target snapped me out of it, eventually. Even as I hurt her, she helped me drop the habit and shave. If you expect this story to end with "and she died too," you'd be right. But I was reminded my life can't return to that hell. So now I just wander around, doing what I can about this new life.

....I can also cook really well too. And also eat a lot, and somehow not gain much weight. Before you ask, no doctor can tell you why.

Naoki Kashima/Demi-Fiend | SMT Nocturne

[heavensmostwanted]

My name is Naoki Kashima, also known as the Demi-Fiend. Wasn't always half-demon though. Before that, I was just a normal kid. About the only real problem I had was trying to decide what I wanted to do after high school. And that only became a problem as Chiaki kept bringing it up. Me and Isamu didn't really think about it too much though. We were all happy for the most part, especially with our teacher.

Then we went to see her in the hospital...and things changed.

Turns out, she made a deal with a crazy guy named Hikawa, who was going to destroy the world to remake it. Life ended so fast, and wordlessly too. Saw it all happen as lightning just...took so many lives. Cut to hours later, a giant disco ball of a demon named Kagutsuchi acted as a perpetual sun, there was sand everywhere, and demons now ruled when humans were just angry or confused souls. And me? I was turned into a half-demon because Lucifer was bored.

I was scared of course, at first. But fighting and killing demons became natural. However, this isn't some fairy tale where we all come together and stomp out Hikawa's life. My teacher was betrayed and eventually lost her life. Isamu tried to do things on his own but got turned into a half demon like me. Same goes for Chiaki, though she lost an arm to a demon I should have offed when I had the chance.

I...have many regrets on how I handled things with them. I sometimes keep beating myself up and think there was more I could have done. Maybe even force them to just sit down and think, or take them with me. Probably would have gone into a deeper depression if a certain devil hunter didn't try hunting me, before offering his help.

But I did at least reverse the damage to the world, and have my friends and teacher back to boot. Granted, all of heaven wants my head on a spike, so I'm just prepping for that inevitable war now.

....course mine is just one of many paths. In others, i would have helped my friends. In another, I would have helped Hikawa. Or maybe I'd just say fuck it and kill all life, no chance of it ever coming back into that particular world, before caving in God's face.

Oh and I can control demons. Well, if a contract is made. Otherwise I punch them really hard.

rain ▽ ghost

[pluviosus]

I'm Rain! I'm a water ghoul from the depths of the pits of hell, and I was summoned to earth by Cardinal Copia - he's Frater Imperator now - a while ago to play bass in his band. We record music and travel the world performing to spread the word of Satan and grow our congregation.

I got my name because I'm clumsy and I fall a lot, like rain, but this last tour I was so good and only almost tripped once.

Mirena | Dracula Untold

[wonderouspeace]

I am the wife of the Prince of Wallachia, Vlad III Tepes. We have a son named Ingeras and, for a time, we lived in relative peace, beloved by our people. But the Ottoman Empire made an impossible demand of us, testing my husband's power and patience by demanding one thousand of our boys to serve as soldiers.

I will not say how the love of my life defeated them or the sacrifices he made in the process. I love him still. I will love him always. My name is Mirena and I enjoy gardens, especially ones with bright flowers, stories, music and spending time with my family. I'm afraid, when compared to my husband, I'm not nearly as exciting!

Rose Winters | Resident Evil 8+

[fyreflies]

Hi, I'm Rose, I'm being babysat by the government because I'm "superhuman" but I'm actually just mold.

Yeah, that is about as fun as you're imagining.

[floralias]

[ Please forgive him staring with wide-eyed wonder. And after a moment of that, very quietly he asks, ]

Can you talk to the mushrooms?

SCP-073 / Cain ( scp foundation )

[scp073]

Ah. .. Well, my name is Cain, but the Foundation calls me SCP-073. I killed my brother and was cursed for it, and I've been alive since-- through everything, through the end of my world and the beginning of the next iteration of reality, through that ending and the next, and the next, and the next. And unfortunately, I'm also not allowed to forget a single detail, so you'll pardon me if I'm a little passive. After so much time, it's hard to care about things the way others do, though I do unfortunately still get attached to people.

Still, I usually find existence tedious at best, and boredom is my constant companion, so in spite of all the problems with the Foundation, I rather like it there. With all the security breaches, it's never really dull.

[ a beat. ] And if my story sounds familiar, yes, I'm that Cain. At least, I'm one previous version of him. Perhaps the first? Though I'd have no way of knowing that, of course. My family seems to be an archetype, we get re-made and re-used in various ways through various incarnations of humanity.

[fellfurthest]

Ugh.

He really likes recycling.

[Commentary on the last part, because... yeah.]

Shen (Yuan) Qingqiu | SVSSS

[peerlesschrysanthemum]

This master---

[Wow! Off to a good start, aren't we? Shen Qingqiu's relaxed fanning picks up some speed and a certain tension as his lips thin. What the fuck! Let this humble transmigrator live his fucking life, all right!?]

... Before I died, my name was Shen Yuan, the third son to comfortably rich parents. I've just graduated university, and even before that I was helping on the board of our family's company. Now, after I've transmigrated into the shittiest stallion webnovel known to the history of literature, where only the protagonist is worth your time and he deserved so much fucking better, I go by Shen Qingqiu, the courtesy name of the novel's scum villain that I transmigrated into.

I've--- I did my best, to take care of what's now my disciples, to raise them into good adults and hopefully successful cultivators. I'm also married.

[That's a pretty long pause, while Shen Qingqiu's ears slowly grow redder and redder while he still looks like he swallowed a lemon.]

To the protagonist.
