Thanks to YTTDub, a Your Turn To Die fandub server, we've now created an entire OC community, which I think is pretty cool!! I'm so thankful that I'm able to work with these amazing and talented people in Your Turn To Die: Curtain Call! This page features their answers for an interview, organized by me (Taire).

## Interviews

### Taire's Interview (@taireifying on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Hey! My name's Taire, and I'm the creator of Ryōichi Ikehara and Lei Morin! I also helped out with the wiki stuff alongside Philiah and some others!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

I really like how it's going so far! Obviously, we haven't figured out the main plot as far as I know, but everything's going pretty great and everyone's cooperating really nicely! I've become friends with many other people in the server because of Curtain Call and it makes me really happy LMAO

Curtain Call has also started to affect my daily lifestyle. I think about these silly OCs all day and night (I'm pretty sure it's a good thing).

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

Ryō was originally supposed to be all upbeat and obnoxious like always, but *very* cautious and anxious in dangerous situations. The others started interpreting him as reckless and carefree, so I changed that specific part about him and made his beta personality his childhood personality. Honestly, I'm so grateful that the others took it that way, because I like the current Ryō way better. He's so much sillier!

Lei was also supposed to be named Leia/Leiya or Lem. I thought the first one was too feminine for Lei and Lem was taken directly from Madeleine Phantasms, so I didn't use either of those.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Ryō's design and personality was heavily based off of a Royale High OC I made a while back, but I guess you could say I was also inspired by Jonah Marshall from The Mandela Catalogue. And since Ryō is technically my "main" OC, I wanted him to like the same thing I liked (parapsychology) (totally not so I could rant about it while having an excuse for it)!

Lei's overall "lemon" vibe is inspired by Lemon Damien from Madeleine Phantasms. As for the meringue pie part, I just searched up lemon desserts and went "yeah, that works". His clothing style is also inspired by Ouji fashion, and his personality is based off of the "sour personality" thing (such a knee slapper).

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

Nope! I like the way they both are now!

### Leah's Interview (@l0vxgd on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

My name is Leah and I created Kaito Hayashi, Ayane Furukawa and Kanashii Kurayami!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

I think it's very cool!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

When I made Ayane, I planned to make her a high school student, but then I changed my mind. I wanted to make Kaito a teenager of 13-15 years old, but also changed my mind. I planned to make Kanashii happier, etc., but I thought that Kaito and Ayane were already very energetic and very very happy, so I made her sadder.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

When I saw one Japanese volleyball player, I was very inspired and made Ayane.

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

Hmm I don't think so.

### Koi's Interview (@competant1 on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

My name is Koi, I’m the creator of both Kina Fukushima and Maiko Li ^^!!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

Personally, I’ve been having a lot of fun drawing my ocs and coming up with reasons for the way they act. Curtain Call has given me a pretty valid outlet to write in. I get to talk with a lot of my good friends, then write about characters I absolutely adore. I’d call that a win.

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

A few, honestly. Kina wasn’t supposed to be as rude and insulting as I ended up making her. Her and Maiko also weren’t supposed to have a mother and son relationship at first, but I figured that when he died, it’d make for an interesting read. I’m writing this as I still work on her as a character, so there may be changes— but for now, I can’t see many being made. Maiko wasn’t supposed to be an Asunaro vessel at first either— I sort of came up with that idea and it stuck with me until I vocalized it. I do think having Kina the way she is is what really makes her special to me, and having Maiko the way he is is what makes him unique and lovable.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Not in the way that I expected, if I’m gonna be honest. Kina’s interests, though, were based off of mine. I had planned on using her as an excuse to info dump about space and rocket engineering through dialogue. Maiko, though, I had really just based off of one of my younger cousins. That’s the only reason he’s a hockey player and collects glass-blown bugs.

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

No, I don’t think so. I love them just the way they are. Even if I do end up realizing I made a mistake, I’ll probably figure it out sooner or later ^^!

### Sei's Interview (@sicixea on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Hello, I'm Sei but you can also call me Ren or Aster! (And if you're weird then Seirenity/j). I created Roteki Ming, Xingwu Ming and Shuzikesa Mochihatsu!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

I think Curtain Call has an interesting potential with it's scenes and ocs, and i loved the way it just grew to become this.

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

At first i wanted Roteki to die in the First Trial, but that idea was scrapped as i changed it to the Sacrifice. Roteki also never intended to use her notebook to write about people's personality but just small details about the Death Game she was in, this was changed alongside some part of her character. Xingwu's old Floor Master title was 'The Destructive Doll' instead of 'The Decorous Doll' but it seemed to unfitting since it only applied to a small trait of his.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

For Roteki, i searched for dewdrop, which is what her first name means. I found some traits and gave it to her personality in the Death Game. Shuzike was just inspired by the word 'serene', but of course, i put more depth to it now more than just being serene and all.

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

I'm sure not, small details? Probably, major though? It highly depends but mostly no.

### Aether's Interview (@logicmaru on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Yo! My name’s Aether, but you can call me Maru, Ghost or Amia! I am the creator of Yūrei Fujiwara and Awayuki Kanemoto!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

It’s honestly been so much fun, doing group projects like this has always been really special to me, but Curtain Call has definitely been unique! I have high hopes for this project!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

Of course I did, Yūrei originally had a solo First Trial before discussing with Ryō’s creator, and had shorter hair. Her First Trial was originally going to feature Yūrei having to constantly fight off unknown enemies in the dark, and she dies from exhaustion and inflicted wounds bleeding out.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Yep! Awayuki was inspired by KAngel / Ame-chan from NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD, and Yūrei was inspired by quite a few characters. Her First Trial was inspired by Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and her backstory was inspired by Mafuyu Asahina from Project Sekai!

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

Of course not, I love my sillies :3 Besides, changing major details would affect other OCs too, I just don’t really wanna go through the trouble of rewriting lore etc.

### Ashlyn's Interview (@ashlychka on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Heyyy!! I’m ashlyn and I created Rosé Katou and Rickki Kojima!!! Oh and btw theres one more new oc I’m planning to reveal soon!!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

Veryy cool, the staff is amazing and they’re doing a lot of things to make this project!!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

I wanted to make Rosé a bit older, but then changed my mind and made her a teen!! :3 Rickki was supposed to be intp but then I thought shed be an extrovert so entp lol

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

I’m always making my oc’s rich!! Rickki and Rosé approved. Even my oc: Ashlyn!! That’s my oldest oc I’m having for 4 years..yea, I always take her as my nickname.

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

nahh!!

### Yan's Interview (@wiltcherry on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Heyo! I’m Wiltcherry but you can just call me Yan! I’m the creator of Miran Sekino!!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

Honestly, super cool!!! I love getting into other peoples OCs and getting to know them, that kind of stuff is really fun for me! and I’ve met many people because of it which gives me such a happy feeling!! Especially OC designs and OC interactions - I love those so muchh!!!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

Hmmm if I had to say… I think his selfishness, he was supposed be like that and avoided taking the blame for things, but then I realized that was out of character for the way I was planning to write him and scrapped it, so he was supposed to be more cruel in a sense, and didn’t care about the life of others.

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

I really just took some random color palette and inspiration from Pinterest (boring I know), but for personality (what got me to create him) I got inspired by a video about nihilism.

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

I don’t think there’s anything major I’d change about him, I like him how he is currently!

### Dia's Interview (@nenekkasa on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

My name's Dianne but everyone calls me Dia, I'm Sumire Kandou's creator

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

I think it's fun when we all talk about our ocs together and also going from only drawing fanart to drawing ocs too feels like i opened a third eye

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

For a few seconds I was planning on creating a younger character but then I decided there had to be at least some kind of responsible adult there (the only ocs being shared at the time were all teenagers & Ryo).

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Regarding appearance it was all spontaneous but for personality I borrowed some certain aspects from various characters like Lisa from Genshin Impact, Keiji Shinogi from YTTD and Mahiru Shiina from Milgram

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

I like how she is currently I don't think I would change anything

### Midna's Interview (@midnasun on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

i’m midna i use she/her pronouns and i made hana!! that’s it

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

very fun, working together with your friends to create something is fun!! but also i will be surprised if we manage to come up with a somewhat coherent plotline with how many people we have working on this

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

uhhhh i don’t think so? i realized way later that i could have given her a sibling because i love sibling dynamics soooooo so much but she was already cemented in my head as an only child

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

she’s kinda just based off me when i was younger but with some stuff changed!

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

yes, give her a sibling! i want to make up sibling dynamics. but also not really i think she’s good as she is

### **Bologna’s Interview** (@idolmasterin on TikTok)

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

Hello!! I’m Michael/Bologna and I am the creator of the lovely Oka Tazuna!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

All positive things! I only found out about Curtain Call around a week or two ago but it’s incredibly cool, same goes for the people apart of it!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

Absolutely! Originally, Oka was meant to be the same age as Joe and pretty much his exact opposite. She was supposed to be this crude and arrogant girl with a purely rebellious spirit, but she would then get a complete change in personality after the ending of the first trial.

As for my reasoning for not going with this idea… I thought it was rather cliché? I don’t like how I was going to completely change my character’s personality over a traumatic event, and I also just don’t like writing mean characters..!

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Yep! Oka was created in 2021 and was heavily inspired by me! I based the majority of her interests and mannerisms off of mine but there are some fictional characters that played a part in her creation as well. Such as, Ibuki Mioda (I know.), Nico Yazawa (very loosely!) and others!

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

Hmm… not really? I have occasionally thought of making her a victim rather than a survivor but I’d say I’ve grown too attached to her to do so!

### **Nati's Interview** **(@therealnati on TikTok)**

**Briefly introduce yourself!**

HI IM NATI! MY PRNS ARE SHE/HER AND MY OCS ARE AMANDA LAURENT AND SOU / AI LAURENT!

**What are your thoughts on Curtain Call so far?**

So far I am very excited about the Curtain Call and where this is going, so I'm grateful I can be a part of this project in some small way!

**Did you have any original ideas that you were going to use but scrapped for your OC(s)?**

Actually, no! I lowkey used every idea - because she was made as a quick shitpost character but then I was like "wait.." and then fully fleshed her out!

**Was there any reference or inspiration for how you created your OC(s)?**

Well, for Amanda, Louise by TVGIRL aswell as Copacabana by Barry Manilow aswell as Birds Dont Sing by TVGIRL!

**If you could, would you have changed anything major about your OC(s)?**

Absolutely not! I love them a lot and where their story goes, and yeah, I never thought I'd make a floormaster gf oc.
