I stole this idea! ... WITH PERMISSION!
Okay, like ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telcontar, I too play the same character at different roleplays! And their development is still quite different, despite being the same character.
Also I was enabled and I'm shameless. WHAT'S NEW.
Camp Fuck You Die
Oz has Alice and Gil. Let's start there. Oz has already his two most important people with him and for Oz, that's really what he wants the most. They're his world. And he can survive anything if he has them. Not to say he didn't have his hiccups, early!Oz had a lot happening around him (we had a Vincent too and Vincent is plotty mcplotty person) and Oz had formed some interesting relationships (some of which dropped and still make me sadface a bit). But the point is, despite the fact that Oz ICly doesn't allow himself to develop, I was allowed to explore a lot of options and thoughts with him, a lot of which (thankfully!) got also touched on later in canon and supported how I played him. Even now, Oz continues to build relationships, while keeping in mind what he has learned through camp and yet... making sure he doesn't forget all that happened to him in the past. Oz is very... clingy to his baggage. It justifies him.
Microcosm
Different Oz taken from a different point of time. CFUD!Oz was from volume three. Micro!Oz I took from the end of Cheshire/Jack arc. I think what really prompted me to take Oz from that point is that one scene where Oz reaches out for Gil and Gil murmurs, "... Jack" (or he gets a flashback of Alice and Gil catching him and going "JACK!!". ONE OF THE TWO) and Oz painfully retracts his hand. It was one of the scenes that stood out the most to me and the only point I could see at the moment where Oz could be played without an Alice and Gil. For one, he'd purposefully try to distance himself from people. He doesn't want them to see him as Jack Vesalius (hilariously the icons I use ARE of Jack), in fact he's not 100% sure what he sees himself as. Break did give him the talk about how he's Oz, but I don't know how much of it Oz truly believed. It's something that can be left to debate. Break's words did comfort him but they didn't... alleviate everything.
So I purposefully didn't have Oz make... as many relationships as he would if he was in CFUD. CFUD!Oz has soooo many relationships guys, I FORGET WHAT THEY ALL WERE SOMETIMES and then I feel sad I forgot them because I truly love the relationships Oz has built over time. But Micro!Oz stays fairly reclusive. There are a handful of people he interacts with, but he doesn't actively socialize like the CFUD!Oz. It's not as though he's judging the people he meets. It's more of him judging himself through the people he meets and him trying to find a centre where he's comfortable as Oz and not someone else.
Not as tldr worthy as I expected but I'm satisfied.
