♥ memories of my first tru OC ♥


comic for last week's Potential Comix theme, BUDDIES!

i've been obsessed with making OCs (original characters) for the longest time.
i'm sure i had a billion OCs before Strife Leoneharte came along, but he's the first one I really dedicated a lot of time and luv towards.

i had (and still have!!) a huge binder with an orange spine that's crammed with RPs (i rp'd with myself okay), character data entries, drawings, etc.  Strife hails from a series i called Final Destiny (because Final Fantasy was already claimed, y'know?) and it was kind of a cross between X/1999, Card Captors, and Digimon.
around the time i created him, i bought posters of Cloud and Squall, SEPARATELY, might i add.  i bought the Cloud one first, and ended up going back the next week to get Squall too because THEY ARE BOTH TOO HANDSOME.  i decided to name my character Strife Leonharte (notice the clever 'e' at the end of Leonhart to make him more unique) as a tribute (or subtle rip off?) to these two beautiful boys.  to be honest, i just couldn't decide who i liked more.

to this day i still haven't played FF XII or FF XIII.

i actually made a sequel to Final Destiny too, called Final Destiny X because i clearly did not understand how roman numerals worked.  Strife's progeny grew to become the spitting image of his father.  He was called Jet Lee Leonharte.

Jet Lee, dated August 1, 2002 (Thursday) 2:??-3:18 am

i stayed up pretty late for a twelveyearold..

i wonder who he grew up to be.  DID HE SAVE THE WORLD? IS HIS POPS PROUD OF HIM? HAS HIS HAIR CALMED DOWN A LITTLE?
i hope all the OCs i've abandoned ( it's me, not you :c ) are partying somewhere together keepin childhood alive.
