' :D ' is one of my character signatures. Weird but true.

[Xverest_]

Having a signature for your character is actually such a good way to develop them :o

[WhyAreAllTagsTaken]

OC 1:
1. Break someone’s heart because he’s scared they’ll break his.
2. His voice (he sounds like a kid because of a condition he was born with) and his scars.
3. Messy and almost impossible to tell it’s his.

OC 2:
1. She’s more likely to break someone’s heart as she’s aroace and will reject you immediately (she’s so me lol)
2. Her skin tone and vitiligo, as she was hidden from the kingdom because of how drastically differently she looked from the royal family.
3. The neatest signature ever, since she was forced to master it at age 6

OC 3:
1. More likely to get his heart broken, as he was a hopeless romantic until he met OC 1.
2. His chest and leg, as he’s ftm and is missing his leg (kids would bully him for it when he was younger)
3. He adds a star to the end of the ‘y’ in his name.

[_Yumi_Muni_]

1: Get her heart broken(she is extremely sensitive and even when you ignore her for a day, she'll feel slightly rejected)
2: Her scars, her face and her laugh(since people always said that her laugh was weird)
3: She'll probably just write her name with stars and hearts around it-(she's a pre-teen, ofc she'll do that)

[SmartCreeper]

1: would break someone's heart for fun
2: humanity
3: 👁

Edit: No this isn't Bill Cipher, this is The Internet (or Net for short). I have a few pictures of Net on my channel, and you might find his comments on this channel's videos. Also he would definitely be great friends with Bill lol

Character: Arel (Female, 27)

1. She's pretty shy to find love. She would get her heart broken EASILY. (she has no rizz either)

2. Her sewn on arm. She has an arm sewn on because her original one got cut off in an accident. She mostly hides it with her jacket because of it.

3. Cute and bubbly, but kinda sloppy with a heart at the end! She likes it that way. She also puts stars around the signature for "a bit more character."

[melsgamingsessions]

1: Likely get their heart broken
2: their scars
3: no clue-

My favorite question to ask myself is “what kind of chocolate would the character like and why” (you can also ask yourself if they hate chocolate as well)
ANYWAYS! Here’s the answers for mah main oc!
- she’s the one that breaks hearts
- she’s insecure about the things she makes
- her signature is a star with a bunch of unreadable squiggles

[Adriana_does_stuff]

Character: Ashley (Female; 13)

She would def get her heart broken💔
Her clumsiness
Her signature is her name in cursive (kinda sloppy) with a heart starting from the “y” and surrounding her name.

[kens_a_dreamer]

I absolutely LOVE it when I see OC signatures, it adds so much to their character just by writing their name it’s hard to describe!

[Kat_dragon]

Doing this with my gravity falls OC!
1: break someone else’s heart (figuratively and literally, she has an axe)
2: their scarred eye
3:messy.

[YOUR_DAILY_SHIPWRECK]

Ody MacArthur:
1. Unless the feeling isnt shared by him 100% he’s gonna get heartbroken but he hasn’t really dated since he “killed” penelope
2. His biggest insecurity would probably be his prosthetic arm he got after Penelope lopped his arm off (she was under mind control by Hypnos)
3. His signature used to be round and bubbly with a sun at the end but now it’s sharp enough to slice you open

Also, generally how their handwriting looks can say a lot about a character. Like, how legible is their writing? Is it curly? Is it so fancy and cursive that no one but them can read their handwriting? Is it just chicken scratch? Also, asking questions like how diffetent characters would react to it and why they write like that/who taught them to write like that also helps.

[shinyvictory]

Hmm for my main OC...
1. She'll break it literally and figuratively
2. Being short af
3. Silly ahh doodle of a wolf

[SpitfiretheCat]

1) They can and will break hearts unflinchingly. It's generally not intentional, they just haven't truly cared in a long time.
2) Their true identity, mostly a fixation on their name and/or face.
3) It depends on the part they're playing, but they have a quick signature and a performative signature. The former is a barely legible scribble that's almost taller than it is long, and the latter is a perfect calligraphic script of their full name with a little embellishment.

[AshenHarvest]

Ohhhh, the signature one is great because its such a small detail but can be drastically diffrent depending on a OC lore and how they treat writing things! I never really thought of it but most my OCs would likely have messy handwriting if they could write at all due to lack of education lol

[magicalomg]

OC 1:
1. Will prob break someones heart for fun or because shes too scared to get her's broken
2. Vulnerability, She absolutely hates trusting people and hates it when she shows even the littlest of insecurity
3. Her signature would prob be blood lol

OC 2:
1. Probably have his heart broken
2. His Dyslexia
3. As I said, he's dyslexic so he doesn't have it.

OC 1 is my Golden Retriever Villain and OC 2 is Black Cat superhero! I'm having a book published soon on these two so if y'all are looking to read it, It's called The Echelon Project!

Also- A side note- Thanks so much for your vids! They have helped me so much in writing my books and I'm planning to keep on using your writing tips! I'll have to ask my editor but I think I'm going to add you in my acknowledgements! (I have to ask because I'm only 13 so I have to have permission and crap before I can do stuff!)

[ShadowsightSolos]

I’m glad this series is making a comeback

[MonoCano]

Vernon Dackle
1. Break someone’s heart
2. None, he’s a narcissist

[Alyssa-flui]

1. Heartbroken (he’s sensitive)
2. Their third eye (idk what I was thinking when making him)
3. He can’t spell :) (he’s dyslexic and never went to school)
