Ghost (Band) Oc 🕯️
Created a Ghoul Oc because I was bored one day and ended up writing some fanfiction stories again (after a long while). Since I needed some random ghouls (that aren't part of the lore), I created my own....ya know.
So yeah, here's Wander! He is a quintessence ghoul who was summoned by Sister Imperator. However, Papa Nihil thinks he summoned Wander, so in some sense he is referred to as one of Nihil's ghoul.
Sister and Wander just don't want to make this whole "who summoned who" a big deal, so they never told Nihil the truth.
So, you've seen my Ghoul OC, Wander, and his little secret with Sister Imperator, right? Creating him was such a blast, and I know many of you are probably brimming with your own #ghouloc ideas! If you're looking to dive into the world of The Band Ghost and craft your very own original character, especially a ghoul, here are some tips and thoughts from my own experience to get your creative gears turning. First off, why create an OC? For me, it's about expanding the universe I love and telling new stories. Whether it's for fanfiction, roleplaying, or just for fun, a well-developed OC adds so much to your enjoyment of the fandom. When I started thinking about Wander, I knew I wanted him to be a quintessence ghoul, but I also wanted a unique twist on his summoning – that's where the Sister Imperator/Papa Nihil dynamic came in! Don't be afraid to play with the established lore; that's where the most interesting OCs often come from. Next, let's talk about appearance! This is where you can get really creative. Think about your ghoul's elemental affinity (Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Aether, or like Wander, Quintessence) and how that might influence their look. For Wander, I envisioned him with dark skin, striking red eyes, and a distinctive goatee, complete with a devil tail – these details immediately help him stand out. You could consider unique features like horns, unusual skin tones, or even specific markings. What kind of attire do they wear? Is it traditional ghoul garb, like dark shirt and pants, or something more modern? Maybe they carry a prop, like a mysterious white mask, that adds to their enigmatic aura. Every detail contributes to their character! Developing a compelling backstory is crucial. Where did your ghoul come from? Were they always a ghoul, or were they transformed? Who summoned them, and under what circumstances? Think about their personality: are they stoic, mischievous, scholarly, or perhaps a loyal guardian? My own experience with Wander taught me that even a small secret, like his true summoner, can add so much depth and potential for future stories. Consider their interactions with existing characters like Papa Emeritus, Sister Imperator, or other ghouls. Do they have a specific role within the clergy or a hidden agenda? Finally, don't be afraid to experiment! There are no wrong answers when it comes to creating your OC. Look at what others have done, get inspired by the official lore, but always add your unique spin. What makes your ghoul special? What kind of story do they have to tell? Share your ghoul OC ideas with the community – it’s amazing how much inspiration you can find and give by sharing your creations!
