OC Reviews

9. Adrian Spinner and Callisto

Hello there! :D

Today we're looking at Adrian Spinner and Castillo, both submitted by @apowo16 again. They are from the same universe as Aspen Cold, if you remember, that was chapter 5.

I do have to make one remark because I was told this not very long ago: both of them (Adrian and Aspen) originally were canon characters until they were "transformed" into their (@apowo16s) OCs. I'm not a big fan of that, but for the sake of continuity we'll ignore that. So. Grab yourself a double snack, and we'll start right in!

(same rules as always, I don't think I have to explain them anymore)

We'll start with Adrian because I can

Name: Adrian Spinner (I'm a sucker for pun names)

Heh, nice. Adran has two meanings depending on origin: in Latin it means "Son of Adria", in Greek it can be translated as "rich". Spinner is an (I'm quoting ancestry.com on this one) occupational name for a spinner of wool or yarn from the agent derivative of Middle English Middle High German spinnen 'to spin' (this is rather obvious). And in German the word Spinner also means something along the lines of weirdo...

Age: 23

good

Gender: male, he/him

I see where this is going

Sexuality: Aroace, although he doesn't know at the beginning. He ends up coming to terms with it at the end

INCLUSION, YEEESSS

Species: Spider-hybrid (his mom was a spider-hybrid, his das was human)

Was his mother like a drow in DnD or mostly human? Because I'm not quite sure how a human and a spider would make love... and I didn't need that image in my head. Great.

Appearance: Dark brown, shoulder-length hair that isn't too well taken care of, with two green streaks.

Are the streaks natural? Because I don't believe they are and yeah. But good, makes sense I think

He has green eyes, is 6'0, and his most noticeable feature is his fangs. When he's overstocked on venom, you can see the faint green colour inside them. Also, he has freckles

Ok, all pretty good

Personality: Bleeds charm and is one manipulative bastard.

Hey, watch your language. Ok, I cussed in previous chapters as well, but I need to at least pretend I'm not worth demonetizing (if that's possible on Wattpad) ;)

He's pretty emotional and quick to anger, but he hides his emotions fairly well.

Uh, that is dangerous.

He hates being pitied, and would rather be feared than respected.

And that is... a little scary. But why? Because if he's feared he doesn't have to treat others respectfully and that is too much to ask from him?

Flaws: Sometimes he's a bit too blatant in his assholery, which leads to him facing consequences he'd rather not.

You don't sayyy? Everything has consequences, your deeds, your words, your mere existence. And if you're not nice, that can happen, it's your own fault. (Yeah I don't have that much sympathy for him...)

Though he hides it, he's really immature.

He was taken in at 13, in a phase in his life where he still would be developing his social senses (if that exists?) and learn from contact to others. That is pretty much non-existent, I think.
