Commissions

1 min read
Hey guys!
I'm not dead, I promise. I'm very much alive - and in fact back with something of an announcement.  I've recently started making presets and I figured when I get good enough I could start commissioning or trading them. They obviously won't be very expensive - at least not at first. The price may go up with the quality in the future or stay the same depending on the difficulty or how high the demand is. I'll upload sneak peeks of different ones I make and I'd love it if anyone who makes them regularly has any tips or tricks they'd like to share!

AckI'msorryanotherone. I'm still trying to get Rose's personality and such 100% down. 

Rose Cassidy O'Shea

How would you describe your character(physically)?
Rose is tall and slender, and more muscular than many women were in her time. She has the slightest bit of pudge, on account of being an alcoholic, but her rigorous, active schedule keeps it at bay. 

How would you describe how your character(mentally, how they think)?
Negative:
  • Rose is borderline narcissist, she knows that she is pretty, and she knows that she's quick-witted and bright. Sometimes her overconfidence in these areas (as well as others) gets her into trouble. 
  • Rose is a definite pessimist. She fears getting her hopes up, because she knows how badly things can go quickly. 
  • She's cynical, and she thinks everyone in the world does what they do for their own selfish gain. She can rarely see kindness, unless she knows the person, and then not anticipate seeing something required in return. 
  • Impulsive. Rose often acts on a whim, particularly when she's in a bad mood. Rose's anger and impulsiveness combined often gets her into fights.
Positive:
  • Rose is very loyal, once she deems someone worthy. If you make her a friend, you can count on her having your back to the bloody, bitter end. 
  • Intelligent. Though she sometimes overestimates herself, Rose is very quick. She can see things quickly - put two and two together, as it were. 
  • Interpersonal. Rose's father was very people-smart, and he passed this on to his daughter. Rose can generally get the feel for another person's behavior and such quickly. 
  • Driven. Once Rose starts going after something (or someone) she does so relentlessly. She won't stray until she gets what she wants. 

How does your character view the world around them?
Rose is cynical and generally pessimistic about the rest of the world. She's seen the evil the world has to offer, and she hates that things are the way they are. On the other hand, she has also seen the beauty, so hope in absolutely everything isn't completely lost - she just thinks it's hard to come by. 

Which of these is your character more likely to pick in battle: Charge head-on alone, Planned out battle strategy that involves predicting how the opponent will react and uses multiple individuals, out-flank the opponent with partners, ambush and hope for the best?
Rose is more likely to rush into things impulsively. In order for her to sit and actually plan something out, it has to be either important to her, or she knows for certain that she needs to have a plan. 



What is the most predictable action your character commits?
Rose's guilt over her part in losing her partner turned her into an alcoholic. If she isn't on a job (or even sometimes when she is) she can be found having a drink...or two. 


What is the most unpredictable(out-of-character) thing your character could(but would probably never) do?
Rose hates being idle, unless she's reading or drawing, so it would be very interesting to see her hold extremely still for too long. 

Does your character prefer the hot or the cold and why?
She tends to like warmer weather, but she also loves the snow. Rose finds beauty in the swirling flakes, and the fact that it makes it easier to track. She also enjoys rain quite a bit, as she loves the sound of thunder and seeing the lightning.

What kind of environment did your OC grow up in? How did this effect their personality/views in the present day?
Rose had a happy family life while her parents were alive. She wasn't hidden from the cruelties of the world, though, her parents were always straight-forward with her about what it was really like. Thanks to this, she knows that the world isn't all bad, but it can be awful in the same respect.


(Bear with me here(No pun intended)) What animal do you feel most represents your OC and why?
( . . .considering you spelled bear like that I'd say it was intended.)
She'd be a mountain lion. She's could be described as mainly predatory, based on her job and the way she thinks. She's more of a loner, she prefers being by herself and having her own space.

What religion(if any) is your OC? Is it strict?

She doesn't really have one; she's largely undecided in this area.

Does you OC have any siblings? If so, how many, and how are/were relations?
Rose was an only child.

Who would your OC take a bullet to the head/heart to save?(Like, the dude only has one bullet left and he's trying to run away. 
Rose would have died to protect her old partner, and she would die to save anyone she loves.


Would your OC kill to protect/get revenge for someone they love? And would it be quick and painless or long and gruesome?
She absolutely would. It depends on how badly the person wronged her. If the person she loved was killed brutally, odds are she'd be more likely to return the favor. Brutality would be more likely in the case of a lover, as well.


Does/Did your OC play a sport ever? What position did they play? Did they enjoy it, or was it forced/peer pressured?

Played baseball as a little kid and liked it, does that count?
N/a

Has your OC ever done drugs? If so, what was it and why?

Rose is an alcoholic. She started drinking heavily after her partner was shot by Thomas Wilkins, a notorious outlaw whom she had been sent to track down and bring in. She drinks to get rid of the guilt she feels, she believes her lack of foresight and planning got him killed.


What kind of music does your OC most enjoy? Can they pick a specific band/song?

She doesn't really have a preference. She can tolerate the piano in the saloon, as long as it's a piece with a lively beat. Not that she often remembers it the following day, in any case.

How is your OC's relation with their parents?

Before they died, Rose had an excellent relationship with her parents.

Does your OC have any medical conditions or birth defects?

N/a

What is your OC's favorite form of art?

She prefers literate above all else. From the time she was little, Rose has loved reading and occasionally writing. Though she's never really conditioned her artistic skills, she can be found sketching from time to time. 

What country(state if from the US/planet if not born on Earth) was your OC born in?

Rose was born in Ireland. 


Is your OC in a relationship? With who? How serious is it? What causes tension?
She was in a relationship with her partner, but now that he's gone, she's alone.


Lastly, has your OC ever broken any bones? How?
Ohboy. 
-Nose; Fist fight
-Jaw; Fist fight
-Arm & wrist; Falling from her horse before she became a good horseman




So yep, you guys be sure to let me know what you think of her so far!

101 Questions You Should Be Able to Answer About Your Character

1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
"Rose Cassidy O' Shea, most call me Rose, or by my last name. I wouldn't recommend using my middle name, unless I give a damn about you, or you don't value your life."
2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
"I am 23 years old, my birthday is March 18th."
3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
"I was born in Ireland, and now I stay around the Wyoming Territory area. I respect my ancestors, if that's what you mean by patriotic."
4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"My father was Aengus O'Shea, and he was a farmer even after we left Ireland and settled in America. He was a stern, hard-working man, and he loved us dearly. My mother was Marella O'Shea, she was an artist and a seamstress, and her life's goal was for me to be a lady. If only she could see me now."
5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"I grew up alone. Next question."
6. What is your occupation?
"Ranger, bounty hunter in my spare time. I catch all of the bad people so fair maidens and their cowhand lovers can sleep soundly."
7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
"I'm not sure why this is relevant, but I'll humor you. I stand at about 5'6, and weigh around 135. Would you care for my dress measurements, while you're at it?"
8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
"My hair is auburn, and my eyes are a green-gray."
9. What is your race?
"White. Next?"
10. To which social class do you belong?
"My family were middle-class farmers. Now, I wear a pointy star, guns and round up scum in desert. It's a step up, considering I have a say in how things work now."

11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
"I'm not ugly, but I have too much to do to stand in front of mirrors all day. Others have told me I would be pretty if I smiled more and cussed less like a man."
12. What is your style of dress?
"Dresses in themselves I try to avoid. Trousers and shirts like a man wears."
13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
"A scar on my abdomen from a bullet, and a few others from assorted things."
14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

15. Are you right- or left-handed?
"I shoot better and make my mark with my right hand."
16. What does your voice sound like?
"What the hell kind of a question is this? Let's see, I'm rougher spoken now than I used to be, and my words have the accent of my people. I was well enough educated to know how to speak proper, but I've picked up bad habits along the way."
17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
"I talk more like a cowhand - like a man - than a lady, if you understand that." 
18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
"I have a nasty temper, I often open my mouth without thinking, and often I don't plan well enough ahead. All three have gotten me into trouble."
19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
"I bathe whenever I can. I talk like a man, but I don't enjoy smelling like one. Perfume could give me away if I was on a job that required stealth."
20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
"I've been told I could be pretty if I scowled less." 
21. Do you use body language? How?
