OC Meme

I got tagged by to do this OC meme, and since I haven't posted in a bit, it seemed like a good place to start.

I was going to answer with Jaith from Twisted Mirrors, but after looking through the particular questions they listed, it didn't seem like Jaith's answers would be very interesting. So instead we're going to go with Ra'yl (Ry) from Firefly Cross. It seems more fitting anyway, as he's my second oldest character in current use (Chaerius - in my icon - is older).


Rules:
1.) Copy and paste the text into your journal.
2.) Answer truthfully and be honest.
3.) Pick one of your OCs you like most. If you don´t have an OC, you can use a character you like.
4.) Tag at least 5 or more people you know. If you don´t know anybody, go to the main page and pick some random people.
5.) After publishing your journal, go to everyone you tagged and say 'you got tagged' and paste a link into the comment so they find your journal.
(Yeah, not doing this again, but I'm leaving the rule up since it's how you're supposed to do it! )

The questions:

1.) What is the name of your OC?

He is called the Guardian of Light. His name is Ra'yl...though Kaytn just calls him "Ry" much to his chagrin.

2.) Gender and age?

He's male.
Pinning down an age is a lot harder, since the Guardians are technically immortal, though they achieve their "immortality" through body jumping to new hosts. Since the new host both becomes the Guardian and slows the physical aging of the body, it's hard to say. Physically, I'd put him in his mid-twenties.

3.) Animal, anthro or human?

He's a Guardian...though he was human once, so I suppose that counts.

4.) What is your OC's favorite food?

I just realized how rarely I show my characters eating but I assume he'd be a steak man. Well done.

5.) Does he/she love sex?

The Guardian can have no concern for desires of his own. He must focus all his energy on his task...so in short, I guess we'll never know.

6.) Player or serious? Does your character like easy and short romances or does he/she search for the one and only love?

Given his personality, it'd very much be the latter, but considering the circumstances, it's something he tries not to think about.

7.) Does your character think he/she is attractive and sexy?

Well, the Guardian of Light is pretty "hot".

Ow! Don't hit!

To answer a bit more seriously, I doubt he thinks about it, given all of the above. (This is making me realize how utterly cruel I've been to this character. )

8.) What is the most important thing in your OC's life?

The most important thing to a Guardian is the safety and well-being of the Keeper he is charged to serve to the exclusion of all else - personaly safety included. Ry hadn't really bought into all that fully and was mainly following the Keeper because he knew he was supposed to, until he found a Keeper he felt was actually worth the effort.

9.) Would you sell your OC to someone if they asked you?

Would they ask? Haha, I invented Ry in the early days of college, and he's pretty generic in a lot of ways.
But no, through thick and thin, these characters have been with me for a long time and I've shared their adventures. You can't put a price on that.

10.) Do you plan to let your OC die or is he/she already dead? If yes, explain.

Spoilers!
In all seriousness, though, the Guardian can't be killed. It'll just move on to someone else. The host body is expendable, that's sort of the point. That said, I wouldn't go expecting the Guardian of Light to pass along any time soon.

I'm not tagging anyone specific...largely because I'm lazy...so I'll just quote what my tag-er said in hers: "meh, if you read this consider yourself tagged." If any of you do this as well, though, give me a link so I can read about your characters too!
