Since I have a coffee junkie in my WIP, I just had to come out of the woodwork for this.

#ChaseOC is failing the mug-check every time someone enters his IT cave.

Chase sat hunched over his workstation, pale light reflecting off his face, the faint glow illuminating his focused expression. He was surrounded by half-drunk mugs of coffee, wires, tools, and what Duvac assumed was the infamous chip—now dismantled and magnified beneath a glass dome connected to several scanners.

April 1st: "fool"

From my novel WIP #SteepedInShadow

#DuvacOC appreciates his friend #ChaseOC *not* making a foolish joke.

“Get your ass to the infirmary. Now.” Duvac’s tone was ice—clipped, no-nonsense, stripped of any pretense. “We might have a tracking chip on our hands.” To his credit, Chase didn’t laugh. Didn’t make a joke. His voice shifted immediately, dropping into something more serious. “Got it. I’ll be there in a minute. Tell Rafael—” “I know.” Duvac cut him off before the sentence finished, slamming the intercom button to end the call and immediately dialing the next code.

June 26th: "Fox"

Not a fox per se but...

"Good," Duvac said, pushing off the table and straightening, but just as he turned to leave, one of the computers blared an alarm. It wasn't the grating shriek that stopped him dead in his tracks. No, it was the sound that came after. A growl so deep and furious that it rattled a delicately placed tower of coffee mugs enough for them to topple over and shatter on the floor below. "Chase?" Duvac asked, his voice cautious as he turned back around. His friend was gripping the desk hard enough that the wood splintered beneath his fingertips, his face a mask of fury. The usually blue eyes were now of a glowing orange as the shapechanger's wilder side started to take over—fangs elongating, claws emerging from the tips of his fingers. He was staring straight ahead, as though the world had narrowed down to nothing but the picture that had just popped up on his screen, and one glance at the monitor told Duvac everything he needed to know.

#ChaseOC is a tech whiz with a positive attitude. He's also insanely protective of the ones he loves, so very Penelope Garcia-coded.
He's Adrian's Uncle and the man who raised him. Adrian has his teasing side from him.

"There are two exits; we need to cut these off first," Chase explained. He had memorized the blueprints, knowing the exact locations of every camera, guard, and blind spot. Today's mission had to be a complete success, and he wouldn't allow any failures to ruin his chance at saving his nephew. He didn't usually go on missions, but no one complained that he took charge of this one. "A small team will infiltrate through the vents while the rest of us breach the main entrances," he continued to explain. "Juniper will disable the security feeds, leaving them blind." He looked at Jasper and Grace. "You two handle the labs. Duvac and I take the cages."

#AdrianOC and #DuvacOC definitely have scary RBFs going on.

#JudahOC is very much marshmallow-faced and #ChaseOC is always smiling, but those two can also be intimidating if they snap so don't let first impressions fool you.

How intimidating is your original character?

Is it their general disposition, or perhaps they just have RBF?

Which brought me to #AdrianOC (pic made in BG3 Character Creation as a reference)
He's a werewolf, #ChaseOC 's nephew.
And he'll have a parallel storyline to Judah within the first novel.
I'm still not sure how things will go, but these two are already vibing better than Judah and Duvac. ❤️
A human man with facial scars, one of his eyes is closed, the other is open. His eye color is storm grey, his hair color a warm brown. He's tanned.
