Hey there guys, lately I've felt really positive about my longest running OC and I wanted to show them off a bit, then I thought why not let everyone show off theirs too? So this is a place for everyone to present their OC and brag about how great they are! A little positivity never hurt!

I wanted to talk about about my longest running OC, had this baby boy for about 7-8 years, Tomasi Gaelae. He is (in the current work I'm writing of him) a 33 year old marine biologist and (single) father of two. I wanted to play around with how tragic is too tragic in terms of backstory so he's my most traumatized character. Long story short he has issues with codependency and separation anxiety that was intensified by living with someone who fed into these for a little over 10 years. This same guardian was a bit sick in the head, and Tomasi quickly bonded too strongly to Xavier (the guardian's name) and ends up knee deep in some really unethical stuff. Xavier does a good amount of human experimentation, none of it is ever done on Tomasi, but he witnesses some of the more twisted creations and keeps his mouth shut. Along with some sexual abuse I won't go too much into.

He is an OC for a 9 person group RP based on the games 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, though he's flexible enough that I can chose him anywhere.

He has issues with his emotions, they are not non-existent but his own emotions have never been very strong. So he's learned to emulate emotions based on what he assumes is expected of him. So he occasionally overacts (emotion too strongly for a stranger is the first example that comes to mind) and he find it exceptionally easy to be fake. He did start seeking proper treatment via therapy at around 27 though. So his problems are muted in his 'current' state, he had to cut ties with his guardian (the one I mentioned earlier that he lived with for 10+ years) in order to really strike out on his own.

Currently, he has custody of his daughters, May and June, and he takes care of them as well as works in his parent's lab. At around late 30s his ex-guardian (the manipulative one) dies and Tomasi will actually quit his job and uproot his family to take over the lab in order to cover up some 'family secrets'. Ones he does take to the grave. Past the short marriage to the mother of his daughters he does not ever get married again and does not find love. He will die of a stroke at around 72.

Probably the most hilarious part, to me, is this muse started as my interpretation of APH America. And through a very convoluted series of events that took several years of development he is now a black marine biologist with codependency issues and a really unhealthy love interest.
