Unrelated OC Summary - Alistair Liddell

My boyfriend is going to run a Dresden Files RPG, so I've been working on my character for that lately. To help flesh him out, I decided to do an OC summary for him, and encourage to other players to as well, just for SAGs. There will be pictures in the future too.

1. What's your character's name?  
   Alistair Liddell.
   
   Alistair: It's a masculine take on Alice Liddell, the titular character of Alice in Wonderland.
2. How old is he/she?
   26.
   
   Alistair: Same as my creator, for ease.
3. Is your OC a boy or girl?
   Male.
   
   Alistair: And there is no confusion there.
4. What's his/her race?
   American. More broadly, Caucasian.
   
   Alistair: I have some British ancestry, but I'm not too interested in my heritage. Well, racially speaking at least.

Appearance:

1. If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
   I'd say a few. He is a little odd looking, if only because of his clothes.
   
   Alistair: I'm covered in paint half the time, on account of my hobby/job.
2. Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
   Eh, not really. Ever meet one of those people who creep you out just by looking at them? He's kind of like that.
   
   Alistair: The fact that I always look tired or sick doesn't help.
3. What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
   His eyes. Or that he usually has paint all over his clothes.
   
   Alistair: By eyes, I think she means how tired and sunken in they look...
4. Would you consider your OC as attractive?
   No...
   
   Alistair: *shrug* Don't expect anyone to, but at least people don't think I'm grotesque. Just... creepy.

Personality:

1. Temper:
   Passive aggressive. He doesn't fly off the handle, but the fact that he doesn't seem to get angry at all tends to unnerve people.
   
   Alistair: There's a reason, I assure you. If I wasn't... well, you'll see below. I'm not a sociopath, but some people think I might be.
2. Does your character ever get depressed?
   Surprisingly not, all things considered.
   
   Alistair: I have more serious problems than depression.
3. Leader or Follower?
   Follower.
   
   Alistair: Hard to be a leader when people don't trust you to lead.
4. What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
   Detached.
   
   Alistair: They don't say I have one foot down the rabbit hole for nothing. See below.

History:

1. Does your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
   Two parents and a younger sibling. He had an older brother, but he died. He doesn't see any of them any more.
   
   Alistair: They're afraid of me.
2. Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
   Yes. He graduated with a degree in art and has been trying to make his way as a painter.
   
   Alistair: It's been an on and off success, but I'm barely making my bills.
3. Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
   Constantly. He's schizophrenic, so he's nearly always plagued by hallucinations. He also killed his older brother when he was eight.
   
   Alistair: I passed through two locked doors without unlocking them to do it, because I hated him. I smothered him with a pillow. This is why my family is afraid of me.
4. What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
   When he came to terms with his condition and realized not everything he was seeing was a trick of his mind.
   
   Alistair: My Sight is broken, but knowing that I'm not completely mad is a great relief. Even if no one believes me.

Romance:

1. Single?
   Yes.
   
   Alistair: Par for the course when you have a personality disorder like mine. No woman would touch me. I don't think any men would either.
2. Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
   None.
   
   Alistair: See above.
3. Virgin?
   Yes.
   
   Alistair: Again, see above.
4. Does your character like flirting?
   He doesn't know how.
   
   Alistair: I'm better at scaring people.

Symbolism:

1. What animal would you associate your OC with?
   Hmm... a raven.
   
   Alistair: Going for Poe influence now?
2. What/Does your OC's name mean anything?
   According to my name book, Alistair means "defending men," possibly appropriate, since he has to defend his mind against all the things he sees.
   
   Alistair: And it sounds a lot like Alice.
3. Musical Instrument?
   Violin, for the variety of crazed sounds it can make.
   
   Alistair: Be they haunting or horrifying. Kind of like my hallucinations.
4. Element?
   Water.
   
   Alistair: I am a rather mellow person. Usually.
5. Planet?
   Mercury.
   
   Alistair: Art reference?

Showing the Love:

1. Do you draw your character?
   Working on a render now.
   
   Alistair: She even gave me custom textures.
2. Do you write about him/her?
   I may, but likely not, since I have other projects.
   
   Alistair: I'm content with being a simple RPG character.
3. Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
   Duh.
   
   Alistair: See above.
4. What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
   Gave him way more depth than I initially thought I would.
   
   Alistair: You do that with a lot of characters you love.

RANDOMIZE!

1. Is your character wanted for anything?
   Murder, though he was cleared of this, since there was no possible way he could have gotten out of his room (locked from the outside, no windows) and into his brother's (locked from the inside) without help, and he was too young to understand what he had done. Either way, it was humanly impossible.
   
   Alistair: No, just mundanely impossible. I didn't know the door was locked, so it was unlocked for me.
2. What are three weaknesses in him/her?
   Tends to err on the side of caution by believing most of what he sees is real, reality doesn't work quite right for him, and he's schizophrenic.
   
   Alistair: How does the saying go? Better to be afraid of a hundred shadows than miss one tiger... or something like that.
3. Strengths?
   He's a fairly adept conjurer and trompe-l'oeil artist, plus he has an odd reality warping ability.
   
   Alistair: I literally reject your reality and substitute my own. Like with locked doors. Though I don't always have control of it.
4. Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
   No.
   
   Alistair: I'm messed up enough.
5. What's one quirk about him/her?
   His reality warping ability, mostly. He can deny the existence of things to the point that they don't exist for him.
   
   Alistair: Doesn't work on people though.
6. Does your character have any phobias?
   No.
   
   Alistair: The things I fear are all too real. Even the imaginary ones.
7. What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
   You won't see the rage, but not paying him for his artwork, or significantly cheating him out of his proper pay.
   
   Alistair: Here's a hint: I use my painting as a focus for my conjuring. You'd be amazed what sorts of things I can bring to life...
8. Does your OC like chickens?
   No.
   
   Alistair: You should see what they really look like. You'd never be able to eat KFC again.

PlayList! Three songs that remind you of your OC (despite whether he/she would listen to the music or not)

1. Sick ~ Evanescence
   
   Alistair: Hmm... allusion to my delusions?
2. White Rabbit ~ Blue Man Group version
   
   Alistair: One of the trippiest versions of that song, I think.
3. Welcome to Mystery ~ Plain White T's
   
   Alistair: If only everything I saw was this pretty.

The Final Question:
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
Right now, fairly decent. He actually likes the quirks I've given him.

Alistair:
I would be far less interesting otherwise.
