Kai - small ones from a life of adventuring outside/working with Pokémon and kitchen tools. Nothing really noteworthy or spectacular. He sees them as part of learning.

Izzy - a few more severe ones from fights and accidents. Memories she'd rather forget.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
Does your original character have any scars? What about amputations?

How did this happen to them?

How do they feel about them?

Kai's is pretty much now, except with his Pokémon shelter constructed. His friends all help out, everyone wins

Izzy's is very close; the biggest difference is how she feels inside. She finds family and belonging in Kai and his friends, and purpose in her work

What does your original character's dream life look like?

Is it different compared to how they live now? Why?

Kai likes fall; it's finally a break from the summer heat and it means winter is just around the corner.

Spoopy Season is where Izzy is happiest. Cool weather, horror stuff center stage. She's most comfortable this time of year, physically and emotionally.

#OC #OCSky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
It is officially spooky season!

Is your original character doing anything for it?

I just got an incredible commission back from @senranx.bsky.social

Kai and Izzy together in her lab being cozy :3

Incredibly happy with the results! A typical goofy Kai, and a rare image of Izzy relaxing and actually looking happy.

Give Sen a follow!

Kai likes action and comedy movies. Thrillers and scifi movies are cool, also likes old noir movies and westerns.

Izzy likes action, comedy, and horror (all kinds). Also enjoys mysteries and thrillers, sci-fi stuff, especially cyberpunk stuff like bladerunner.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
What is your original character's taste in movies?

Is there any reason why?

#OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Kai and Izzy both like cities, but Izzy is partial to larger, busier cities. More places to disappear and things to get into.

Kai likes smaller, more semi-rural cities where he can vanish into some woods or find a small local feed & seed for supplies.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
What does your original character prefer:

Rural areas, or cities?

Is there any reason to why?

Kai will do whatever. He prefers face to face or phone. He's a Chatty Boi and likes to yap.

Izzy hates talking to people unless she has to; she prefers text. Failing that, face to face is ideal.

#OC #OCsky #IzzyWinters #TakahashiKai
What is your original character's preferred method to communicate with others?

Through text, through phone calls? Face to face? Sign language?
Notepads? Morse code? Carrier pigeon?

Do they even like communicating with others?

Kai is an open book. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Very feelings driven guy.

Izzy: The Fort Knox of Emotion. She took a month to open up to Kai at all and has still barely told him anything about her past. She's convinced he's sincere, but she's not ready.

#OC #OCsky #IzzyWinters #TakahashiKai
Does your original character open up to people? Or are they extremely guarded?

How long would it take for them to warm up to someone and be comfortable?

If they had a choice, would they never tell their true feelings?

Kai will eat fast food, but he'd prefer something fresh. He likes burger joints and has a ranking system for them.

Izzy has the palate of a 6 year old, and tends toward things she doesn't need to prep and are shelf stable, so she'll eat almost any fast food.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
What order would your original character have at a fast food restaurant?

Do they like to mix and match meal items to make their creations? Do they dislike fast food?

Kai and Izzy are trainers!

Kai's team is Absol, Umbreon, Glaceon, Fletchinder, day form Lycanroc, and Tinkaton. He'd like cats and dogs the most.

Izzy's is Porygon-Z, Scolipede, female Meowstic, Toxapex, Dragapult, and Iron Jugulus. She'd love cats and bugs.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
If your original character was a Pokemon Trainer, what sort of team would they have?

Kai & Izzy are a set but:

Kai ✔️
Music/memorabilia, food/recipes, Pokémon toys (for his babies), tea, maps
Kai 🆖️
Impractical things; scrimscrams/knicknacks

Izzy ✔️
Electric components/programming guides, music, silly little doodads, coffee, fruit
Izzy 🆖️
Flowers

Your original character is now a Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachel(?) of a farming sim!

What gifts would they have for affection points? What sort of gifts would they dislike?

Feel free to reference any farming sims (stardew valley, fields of mistria, rune factory) for options!

Kai would listen to music, probably read some,then just relax and play with his Pokémon; just be a goof for a day.

Izzy would just research something else; her brain doesn't do well with time off. Kai would drag her off somewhere to distract her and have fun.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
Your original character is having a self care/treat yourself day!

What are they doing?

Izzy is a tech genius; mostly on the software side. She dabbles in custom cases and physical mods for fun, but is focused on programming.

Kai is fairly savvy, but no expert. He's more than comfortable with operating and basic troubleshooting of common tech.

Kai's not gullible, he's trusting (He's not dumb, he's just too nice; he believes in people). He does get fooled at times.

Izzy takes everything with a heaping pile of salt; she frequently tells Kai to be more careful around people. She doesn't trust easily.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
How gullible is your original character?

Would they believe anything someone told them or would they take things with a grain of salt?

#OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY
September 15, 2026 at 2:23 PM
Kai would be a terrible spy, he's too trusting & honest. He'd get easily fooled and just plain be a terrible liar.

Izzy has very dirty hands (cleaner lately), & she's not built for social situations. Very aggressive and antisocial. Public speaking is no fun.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
What situation would your original character be terrible for?

Are they not built to be a super spy? Maybe they haven't dirtied their hands in their life? What about public speaking?

What would they struggle with?

#OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Kai would suggest he and Izzy do a group painting thing; he'd think it sounded fun and she'd go along for him.

They'd both be terrible, but they'd have fun. Izzy's technique would be more technical, Kai would be 100% vibes based; entirely happy accidents.

#OC #OCsky #IzzyWinters #TakahashiKai
Your original character is currently in an art class.

What are they doing to express themselves? Are they painting? What about modeling with clay? Drawing?

How skilled are they? Would they enjoy themselves?

My pair is tall girl and smol guy.
I like mean girls; they're tough but once you finally earn their trust they'll fight god for you.

I don't like when someone comes along and a relationship fixes all their problems. Kai and Izzy both learn from each other!

A question for the writer!

What character tropes do you like?

What character tropes give you the ick?

#OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Kai would be ok at general trivia. He'd like Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy, maybe something like Chopped.

Izzy quit school really young but she's incredibly smart and opinionated. She'd be best at Family Fued or The Price is Right. She'd crash out if she lost.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
How well would your original character do on a game show?

Kai: a normal amount. He's good at what he does; his work and his cooking hobby, but he's always learning and trying new things.

Izzy: all the time. She works in a research lab, so tests and failures are inevitable. She's more rattled by failure than Kai.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
How often does your original character mess up?

From relationships, work, or being generally klutzy?

Kai isn't very superstitious, but he does believe in luck and that some things are meant to be; meeting Izzy again despite the odds cemented that.

Izzy isn't superstitious at all, it's all nonsense to her. Unlikely doesn't mean impossible; there is no fate.

#OC #OCsky #IzzyWinters #TakahashiKai
Is your original character superstitious? Do they believe in luck or karmic retribution?

Or do they think that's all nonsense?

Kai likes vegetable beef stew. That describes him pretty well, too. Warm, hearty, and comforting.

Izzy likes tomato soup because it's easy to cook (microwaves for like 2 mins) and eat (she drinks it). Like her, it's as complex as you're willing to risk.

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
It's time for soup!

Izzy has had a hard life (some choices outside her control, some within). My form of affection for her is to have her interact with people who genuinely care about her.

For Kai it's causing mischief with his Pokémon and making him scramble to clean it up. :3

#OC #OCsky #TakahashiKai #IzzyWinters
What is your form of affection when it comes to your original character?

Do you get cuteness aggression?

Do you want to suck the milk out of a plushy of them before throwing them into a wall?

Do you treat them like a princess?

How do you feel about them?
