Sorry about that. Actually needed a week off from the game

Another two part question

How visual are you when creating an OC?
Do you see him, know what he looks like, first, or do you know his personality first?

Crimson: Just depends. I wanted to avoid the red and black idea with him. Only red he has is the mane and tail. So, I'd say pretty visual on some, but not all. As for Crimson, got his look down first. His personality goes with the flow of what happens.

With Dusk it was personality first. With Moonblast, it was both.

I usually create personality first. If I find that an OC is important enough to have looks, then I'll tailor their looks to their role (such as Halo), or I'll use one of the pony makers so that I can decide on a color scheme and mane-and-tail style that I like.

4638346 Personality first, aesthetics second. Usually anyway, sometimes I have a visual representation before a personality.

With my characters, it tends to be both at the same time.
