Begging You For Mercy, Why Won't You Release Me?

[redbrunja]

gacked from rachelthedemon:

We all know about as much as we want about the canon characters of our respective fandoms. But what about our own creations? Take any original characters from any of my fanfictions, and ask me three questions about them. But be warned, my answers might well contain fic spoilers.

Okay, so, I don't actually write my original character often; they always come with fifteen chapters of plot and five chapters of backstory, and a.) I am not great with writing chaptered fanfic and b.) I don't want to spend that much time on fic that most people won't read.

But I do have them.

So, give me a fandom, and chances are, I'll have an OC who would be dying to chat with you.

Do you have a Saiyuki OC?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Li Zhi, who is the daughter of a prositute friend of Gojyo's, who is later murdered by someone. When Gojyo gets back to Chang'an, he runs into her waitressing and going that universes version of an Ivy League college, studying math (her mother insisted she get an education.)

There's tension between Zhi and Gojyo, because after her mother died (Zhi found the body with him) he let her get taken into the care of the orphanage (think Gojyo talking with nuns who thing he's an obscenity for existing and living a life of sin to boot.) They convince him that she would be better off with them, and he believes them.

...and then the man who murdered Zhi's mother comes to town...


And then they're also Chin Yisu's twin sister who married a sanzo and has two kids - on from a previous ugly, ugly arranged marriage that made her break ties with her family, and a hanyou she had with the sanzo.

xD Ain't that just dandy~? They sound fun.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

They're both kicks to write.

Oooooooh. You know I am sitting here WAITING to see more about Zhi, but Chin Yisou's sister? That one's all new to me. Innnnnnteresting!

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

She's got this pesky case of morals that just won't quite go away, is a situational sadist, loves her family (that she has now, not the one she left) to an insane degree, and she's flat-out told me that the only reason she's playing even remotely nice with anyone is the fact that her family infected her with their pesky ideas about 'fair play' and 'justice' and all the jazz. (She lies).

Needless to say, she and Hakkai DO NOT get along, although she actually really likes him.

Yes

Yes I do have a Saiyuki oc. Her name is Shi Katsu.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hmm i can't remember reading any story of your with an oc (then again I barely remember my own so...) do you have one in FMA?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

You mean, Roy and Riza's alchemist daughter who Roy mets after [something plotty with magic and time] and she gets thrown back?

Of course I don't. ^_^

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i don't think i've read that one

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't actually WRITTEN it, so that's not surprising. ^_^

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh good. I was kinda worried about that magic thing...

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

There's Raeshaldis, Zuko's firstborn daughter and heir, who is Azula with blue eyes and Katara's morals, who has a doomed romance with the earthbending bodyguard Bumi gave to her at thirteen.

Tortall, and if nothing for Tortall, Firefly as my backup.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I actually don't have any for Tortall, but for Firefly, I have one of the resisters on Simon's homeworld who helped him break River out, because as awesome as that scene was in Serenity, I don't buy that the Simon we first meet in the pilot could have broken River out in the way that they show us that he did.

Naruto?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Do you want Shino's girlfriend or Kakashi's daughter Orin?

[kimiren.livejournal.com]

Orin please.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's how I imagined this played out:

Sakura and Kakashi go off on a deep cover, S-class mission (and I've yet to find the villian epic enough to make what they do through worth this) and go undercover, traveling among missing nins and the underworld, gaining information, contact, etc. This is a long-term assignment, and while they're on it, Sakura gets pregnant, and they have Orin.

Now, when Orin is... oh, around eight, Sakura is killed in a suitably awesome way. Kakashi goes a bit insane, as one is wont to do, and is going to find and destroy the people who killed Sakura if it's the last thing he does.

They continue on like that for a few years, Orin and Kakashi both trying to find Sakura's killers and the information they need - only in a moronic attempt to protect Orin, Kakashi doesn't tell her quite everything.

Now, one day, Orin comes back the appartment, and sees that it's wrecked, bloody, and has all the signs that she's now an orphan.

So she does what her parents always told her to do if she didn't have any options and couldn't find them: she goes to the Hidden Villiage of Konoha, somewhere she's never been.

So, from the sixth's hokage's perspective:

Sakura and Kakashi vanish on a classified mission he only finds the details about later - *poof* Silver-haired, green-eyed ninja sitting in his office.

Orin has a hard time adjusting: what the hell is going all? Why is everyone referring to me by my real name? How come everyone knows my parents? This is the bizarro world, especially that green-wearing freak who's always around.

Then it turns out that Kakashi's not dead, and when Orin meets him again, she is beyond furious. Family angst follows, they finally defeat the villians, and all is well in Konoha.

As for Orin specifically, she has a really skewed view of her skills because of who he parents are. She has damn good chakra control, but can only manage the monsterous strength of her mother when she's so upset that she's basically emotionless, or has been meditating for a good forty minutes beforehand, and while she learns new jutsus at an INSANE rate, she's like, 'yeah, whatever, it took me three hours to learn that, I'm completely mentally challenged.'

Basically, for her, 'playing' was ninja training, and she and Kakashi used to play some varient of, like, jutsu monopoly or whatever, so she knows and incredible amount of different jutsus, and is really, really good at eye-based stuff. Like, she need reading glasses, and she magiced (and I know that's not quite the right word) to be able to see chakra as well, and she can do a whole bunch of nifty eyesight tricks.

Oh, and she reads just about everything, but she really loves mystery novels, the ones with some impossible case that's neatly solved in the end, with all plot threads in place.

Sakura's wicked strength plus Kakashi's poker face combined? Lol that's one powerful/awesome kunoichi.

(And I imagine if Ino had a daughter too the bickering between her and Orin would be v. entertaining^^)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I think the strength would be something she'd only be able to access under extreme, extreme distress, but yeah. Those two pouring their love, affection, and skills into a young, nuble mind?

Orin is going to kick SO MUCH ass.
