Personas Vs OCs

This is not gospel, this is just my opinion and how I categorize my own creations! You can define these terms, use or not use them, however you want to! I’m just putting this here for my own reference mostly

A persona is explicitly for self insert purposes.

These characters do not have a role that alters the lore of the existing canon.

They can interact with characters, so long as it is done in an inconsequential way. If desired, the persona can have their own subplot to be resolved.

It’s absolutely possible to have a persona for your own original work.

Personas exist as different versions of the self. No need for lore, sometimes a different costume is enough to establish the self as a different sona

When the persona has a larger role that impacts the canon line of events, they cross into OC territory.

Persona Examples

The Farmer, from Stardew Valley

Animal Crossing Player Character

Character based on the self, but designed for the world. “Me if I were a stand user.”

Any character who is based on the self but does not change the end goal of a preexistent plot

OC Examples

A Stardew Valley OC would inherently change playable canon. If your SDV persona is dating Alex and Alex is no longer a viable Romance Route, then your persona is an OC

A yokai watch NPC who has a cool yokai and directly helps Nate do XYZ, explicitly influencing the plot’s course

A character that may or may not be based on the self that is more plot significant than not.

Plot significance doesn’t exist on an easily measurable scale so it’s a loose metric, deliberately

Mary sues don’t exist btw the point of an OC is to have fun and be self indulgent. Enjoy your blorbos and let them live and love as freely as you would do so yourself.

Thinking about the DQXI Party member's favorite fruits

Note: I haven’t finished the game yet!! Pls be careful with spoilers, I just got Jade back into my party 💚

Erik went wild dog feral the first time he ever tasted a mango. Exotic, summery fruits were rare to come across in Snifelheim, and I like to think he's very adventurous when it comes to food. Lingonberries hit him with a weird nostalgia.

I think Veronica is a strawberry girl, and she likes them even more when they're on the sour side. A bit of a basic choice, but she's not ashamed of it. It's only a little insulting now that she looks like strawberry shortcake.

Serena likes pears. Specifically Bartlett pears. Simple, mild flavor, not too crisp.

I think Sylvando loves citrus fruits. Oranges and lemons grow well in Puerto Valor. He's also a guava enjoyer. His favorite way to eat fruit is on a toothpick as cocktail garnish.

Jade likes grapes. Can’t explain, just vibes.

Rab is a rhubarb-strawberry pie enjoyer no I can’t justify this one either. This ain’t even about fruits anymore. I do think he likes most fruits that can be baked into something, like turnovers or pies. More characters (possible spoilers) below

Hendrik enjoys an apple. Simple. Predictable. Can't hurt you. Perhaps he'll engage with a berry if he’s feeling daring.

Jasper likes any fruit that goes well with whipped cream, like peaches, berries, cherries, etc.

Prince Faris is a diva, he'll only eat the most luxurious choices! Cactus fruits are pretty common where he's from, but for some reason he gives Passion Fruit vibes. I also think he'd like papaya. I think he'd like pinapple but wouldn't be able to eat too much. He doesn't like how it burns his tongue!

Vince Vanquish isn't a fruit enthusiast per se, but he likes to advertise healthy eating habits for the kids in the orphanage that he takes care of. He snacks on apple slices, oranges, bananas, the type of stuff that's easy to get kids interested!

Speculating DQXI party’s last names and putting it under “read more” bc this post definitely cites lore that constitutes spoilers

Erik most likely does not have a last name since he was an orphan taken in by Vikings. I don’t think they would’ve given him one. Didn’t serve any purpose.

I actually think that Veronica and Serena’s last name is Fidelī, or “of Fidelus” (the second declension genitive, if we conjugate Fidelus as if it were a Latin word)

Sylvando’s real name, canonically (imo) is Norberto Rodrigo

We know Jade’s last name is Carnelian.

So like, Rab is weird. Bc consider. “King Carnelian.” “Lord Robert.” Robert might be his last name. Therefore, the Luminary’s surname might also be Robert. Though, they also might have a completely different surname having been adopted and raised by Chalky.

Hendrik, I genuinely have no clue. You could slap any last name on that man and it would probably work.

I think Jasper’s last name is Chalcedony or Agate or smth else rock themed
