I want to try doing those verbal scenarios with my OC(s) listed below:
(I still don’t have names for them yet, so we’ll just refer to them by the nick names on their pictures)
If you all have any ideas for scenarios for the characters, please comment down below.
Later I’ll try to draw these scenarios once I have their designs down.
Here is the rough draft of one of the alternate personalities for my OC. She is a dog demon, specifically a Rottweiler.
This is personality is definitely the fighter of the personalities, has a lot more bite than bark. Much like the stereotypes of a Rottweiler, she’s very aggressive and hostile towards most. However, she does have a soft side towards very few friends.
She is somewhat sensitive, in a sense that it’s easy to make her angry. While she doesn’t regret her actions, she does think if she went too far in physical fights. Many view her as a perfect guard dog and could be a good bounty hunter if not for her temper.
“One weeps tears of truths…”
“The other screams laughter of lies…”
Albus is basically from Underswap: Blueberry Flavored, which is just a longer way of saying he’s from the “Fanon” Underswap (Blueberry) rather than the “Canon” Underswap (Blue or Swap).
Here are the rough draft headshots for Albus: Underswap/Blueberry Neue:
As I stated before, Albus is based off the beta design for Underswap Neue that I made back in late 2019/2020:
I obviously tried to update his design, but still keep that energetic & child-like excitement demeanor.
For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Jämtland Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):
Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:
On a side note, if y’all want to hear “headcanons” for Crimson(Horrortale Neue), Vani(Dusttale Neue), Sabon(Something New Neue), or Gisha(X-Tale); please leave a comment.
Here are the detailed versions since I can only post 10 pictures at a time.

Here are the first set of headshots (along with a small peek on who’s next):
Here are some up close pictures as well (sorry if they look blurry):
Along with individual pictures (again; sorry if they’re blurry):

(He/him) 🐇🏳️⚧️✨
Outertale Neue’s name is “Nova”, based off a font and “Super Nova”.
Here is the rough draft:
He’s based off the Zhongwei Goat, there was one that had a coat similar to dreads so I based his hair off that.
He’s around/same height as Neue, and he usually has his eyes closed.
He’s a sweepy boi.
After watching the play through of Chapter 4 & seeing the amount of fanart (both canon & OCs), I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible concepts for some OCs.
Might draw them, might not, I’m not sure yet.
Anyway below are the concepts:
Smiling/Nightmare Critter
After the scandal & recall of the Catnap Plushies, Playtime Co tried to create a new character to take Catnap’s place in the Smiling Critters Cast. Wanting to keep the same theme of “a good night’s sleep”, Playtime Co decided to base the design off the concept of “counting sheep”.
The character would be a sheep with white wool & black limbs, & wears a cloud shaped pendant with “Zs” in it or a pillow shaped pendant. They also had a chamomile scent.
They would have been named “Sleepy Sheepy”. However, it never made past the review period due to timing & negative ties to Catnap who both are associated with sleep, & fear that another scandal could occur from this.
This design was then used to create “Baba Chops”: inverted the colors, & changed their personality & along with changing their scent to Anise; who is part of a new line of characters called the Nightmare Critters.
Due to a “special request” from an anonymous source, the concept of Sleepy was altered. The character was changed to be a white lamb wearing a bell shaped pendant, but still kept the chamomile scent.
The character was named “Mary Little” & was used as a limited edition toy to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They also made a special appearance in the cartoon for the same reason.
Their personality was described to be very curious & a bit naive. They wanted to be friends with everyone & for everyone to feel included. They would’ve act as a peacemaker or negotiator between the Smiling Critters & Nightmare Critters. In the show, they only had one major appearance & would then only appear a couple of times afterwards before the cartoon was discontinued.
Due to them being a limited edition toy, there was only a handful of them produced & was only available during the year 1991. A Bigger Body was never created due to the same reasons above, but there were plans of one if the Catnap Bigger Body became “uncooperative”.
The living toy experiments were also conducted on the plushies as well, but were less in number. After the Hour of Joy, most of the plushies were killed & eaten, with the exception of those that followed Catnap. There was also just one that took refuge in Safe Haven.
Past Employee: Mary Sawyer
Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. Wanting to grow closer to her father, she tried to gain an internship at Playtime Co.
After seeing her potential, Dr. Sawyer put in a request, & pulled some strings, to give her permission to work with him on the living toys experiments & the Bigger Body Initiative.
However, after seeing the experiments & treatment of the toys, Mary was horrified & wanted to leave. But due to fear of being “taken care of”, she continued to work alongside Dr. Sawyer to secretly gather evidence.
During the Hour of Joy, Mary was out doing an “errand” for the other scientists. When she came back, she saw the aftermath & fled immediately.
10 years later, she returns back to Playtime Co to figure out what happened & to see what happened to the toy & BBI experiments.
Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. When she was younger, she was often brought to Playtime Co with her father & was used to test the experiments’ reaction to children.
The toys were quite fond of Mary due to her kind-hearted nature & gentle approach. She was often around the Nightmare Critters, who were very affectionate & friendly towards her after she would give them snacks.
After Dr. Sawyer was turned into the Doctor, Mary was sent to live with other relatives & hasn’t been back to Playing Co since.
She would constantly ask about her father & “friends”, but many of the relatives would just change the subject or say they didn’t know what she was talking about. This caused Mary to doubt her memory & the time she was at Playtime Co.
10 years after the Hour of Joy, Mary would run away from her home & return to Playtime Co to find her father & “friends”. However, she only found a factory filled with starved toys & notes written on vhs tapes.
Past Employee: Samuel Barnes
Samuel was the older brother of Kevin Barnes. They were separated, with Sam going to live with his parents while Kevin was sent to the orphanage due to his “behavior”. He was sent to the orphanage at a very young age, so he doesn’t remember Samuel that well.
His family would deny the existence of Kevin whenever Samuel would ask about him. It wasn’t until he turned 18 when he found out the truth.
Enraged by his parents’ actions & concerned for his brother’s safety, would go to Playtime Co to find him, but was denied access to the orphanage.
After creating a fake identity, Samuel would apply for a job to work at Playtime Co. Mainly to gather information & find Kevin, while also needing a job in general.
However, after being caught multiple times trying to look through classified documents, he was fired & banned from the facility. He was then arrested & imprisoned for trespassing & aggravated assault about a couple days after being fired.
10 years later, it’s unknown if he escaped prison or was released early for good behavior, he went back to Playtime Co for closure. But was met with an empty factory filled with starved toys & eaten corpses.
These are just a few ideas for concept ideas for possible OCs, I would like hear what you guys think, & if you all like them then I might make art of them.
Here is another info dump regarding a few of the characters.

Merriweather - UNDERSWAP
Merriweather, or just Merrie, has the ability to summon a massive warhammer, think Sardonyx from Steven Universe or Tinkaton from Pokémon. However, she does get a bit overexcited when using it, looking a big unhinged but she’s just really excited to use it.
Miriam - SWAPFELL
Miriam can also summon a weapon as well, a huge spiked flail, something like Sweetheart’s from OMORI but bigger. I would actually imagine her voice to be similar to the Man on the Internet lyrical video of World’s End Valentine.
Avenir - FELLSWAP (GOLD)
Much like his Underfell counterpart, Avenir is Trans: female to male. This started out due to him thinking that he had to be a man to be taken seriously by his people, but grew to love his new identity & officially transitioned when he was older. His original name was Aldria.

These are just a few facts for now, please comment down below what I could improve upon or your headcanons for these characters.
Sorry for not posting in a while, started to lose motivation for drawing and just writing in general.
But I’m working on the designs and bio for the main Theatre Overlord OCs, along with working on “previous” overlords that worked in the theatre before…”retiring”.
I won’t give too much away, but I do want to relay some information and get feedback.
Information
The official name of the theatre, for now anyways, is “The Strings-Attached Theatre”.
The Puppeteer is now called “Thee Puppeteer”.
Thee Puppeteer is able to “Puppetified” individuals who they deem “Disobedient” or “Undesirable”. Who’ll see a few of these past overlords in some fan art surrounding Thee Puppeteer.
Thee Puppeteer’s strings are made from a material they call “Angel’s Iron”, which is made from extreme amounts of angel blood. “But where does Thee Puppeteer get all this angel blood?” I’m sure you all can put the pieces together.
While most of the previous/potential theatre overlords don’t add much to the story, mainly just adding flavor text, there are a few that give more “character” to the current theatre overlords.
That’s all the new information for now.
Please let me know your thoughts about these facts, especially about the Angel’s Iron idea.
