Description OMG I DID ART! AND ITS DISTRICT 9! WHATT?!?!

Haha, idk, i just felt like a prawn needed to be drawn, and I realized I had never released my [favorite] secret D9 OC. I have Everett, whose concept and design I lurve, but his personality (though I do know it) has never gelled with me like Hoover's has. The moment I drew Hoover ~3 years ago, he was just BAM! In my face personality! Not that that is his personality, just that it was super obvious.

So after all these years, here is dear Hoover, finally freed into the world. Be safe, my dear one, for the world is harsh and cruel, and takes not kindly to oblivious souls like yourself. *sigh*

Well you MIGGHTT see more of him, but I'm not sure when I'll next have a prawn spring forth from my fingertips.



----EDIT----

I just wanted to add that in the personality section where it says he is good at inductive/deductive reasoning, I want to clarify that this is always accidental. Whenever he actually does something helpful or intelligent, it is usually a product of his off-the-wall musings out loud. I think of him as having a very small Sherlock Holmes in his subconscious that notices and draws conclusions from very minute and unassuming observations. This is what makes him very intuitive about a situation, but despite that latent gift, he is so bumbling and ridiculous, he makes a fool of himself nonetheless.
His usefulness appears in tight situations when all reasonable possibilities seem utterly exhausted; this is when Hoover would make some unintended helpful remark, which is always tries to play off as intentional in retrospect.

Kay, that's all. Just wanted to clarify >.<

For some reason, when I pictured him if he were played by a human actor, he is inescapably Rupert Everett. >.<

I saw this and immediately imagined him letting out the snootiest of laughter.

I love him!! He's original! A lot of OCs tend to be similar to one another in many ways, but yay for Hoover

Thanks! I don't like Sues.

I tend to think that when someone creates an OC just to make one, the resultant character seems to follow some basic characteristics and similarities -- its the characters that come to life on their own who are more original.

If I had had time to do the PoHA RP, I would have RPed Hoover, cuz there aren't enough doofuses/punching bags in RPs, imo, cuz everyone has to try and stuff all of the characteristics they want to play into one character rather than doing something that might not be "SO AWESOME" or "BADASS," but different and colorful. I find myself more in love with my flawed creations than the perfect ones. ^.^

I need to get to reading that PoHA RP (Poharp? lol?). Thanks for putting it together!!

It's true too! Granted D9 is such a great base that even sues have something different from sues in other fandoms... But still. A lot of people make characters that are in their twenties, are female human and not only are pro-alien rights but also dig aliens as lovers. I'm guilty of some cliches, of course. I admit I didn't expect it to get so big when I started writing about Ana and Kyler XD I'm trying to make Kyler a bit of a punching-bag in this RP though , harhar. Trying to develop his character a bit more, as I feel I didn't do much about that in the fic.

LOL needs moar doofuses. Also bad guys. People who aren't actually sworn pro-alien activists. Judging by the movie, there weren't many of those.

Ooh, lemme know what you think of the RP so far! I'm actually surprised at the success^^
