Contemplating taking up an old pastime

Recently I fell in love with envy from fullmetal alchemist! I'm desperately looking for envyxoc fanfiction because strangely, though I'm a yaoi fan, I didn't want envy as anything less than straight. But I couldn't find any which were good in that it portrayed the kind of relationship I liked to read about, while still keeping envy in character (I like them in character, because then I'd find it more believable and hence enjoy the story much more). Or at least, none that have gotten to the smut/fluff (I don't know what's the difference so whatever) because they most probably have given up on their stories, seeing as how FMA series gas ended.. So I'm seriously contemplating writing my own.. Except I really don't know how to feel like the characters I often read about and aim to portray.. I mean, even though I read all these angst/dark-romance FIcs I don't really empathize with the story characters.. I just savour the plot.. So I'll probably need to reread some of my very favorite FIcs to try and get a feel of the writing style and story flow.. Wonder if I'll be up to it?
Well, I'm seriously thinking about my oc, for one. I definitely want her character design to be a little japanese. Eg her outfit would most probably be like the one oichi from samurai warriors 2 or 3 wears. She would be inspired by victorique from gosick and chi from chobits.. Maybe I'll make her hair long and slightly more silvery than platinum blond; almost ivory but shinier.. Of short stature. She could've been a seraph from the other side of the gate, but her six wings do not appear in this world; instead, they show up as faint etchings on her back. She looks like a doll fashioned by the hands of god himself- pale and fragile and petite and dollfaced. Well, almost. I can't stand absolute perfection, so I'll probably make her imperfect in some way. Just.. What kind of imperfection? Fangs? Claws? Blindness? Maybe that last one. She's definitely beautiful, but I don't want get face to ever be seen by anybody.. Maybe it could be obscured by goggles.. You know, the kind tousen from Bleach wears. Ah ha! She passes herself off as a prepubescent boy with long, braided hair! She has actually lost her memory of once being a seraph, so she currently works as a state alchemist who's very bored and apathetic in living 'his' life.. Very unfeeling and unable to understand most humans. Sort of like ciel phantomhive. And she heals almost as fast as a homunculus, though only if they are not totally severe injuries like being beheaded, and she cant regenerate her limbs.. (duh. Else there wont be a story since she would never be harmed.) that should connect her with envy. Because i believe that given the right pairing, envy in love, or just caring for somebody, should not be ooc for him. Though he does it in a brash, homicidal way like the psycho he is. Should my oc be blind? But then she wouldn't be able to see envy..
Ok, so she'll be passing herself off as a young, beautiful boy in glasses(or perhaps a blindfold?sort of a way to control her powers.) what power should she have? I was thinking she's not just an ordinary human so she probably has magic powers(which she usually doesnt make use of, rxcept maybe the first one) like telekinesis(most probably, though it has to be limited), elemental stuff(how do I limit this..). Since I always thought of Seraphs as having a few beastly attributes (maybe avian, or feline, or draconian?) she'd probably have some of these animalistic instincts, which she subtly makes use of. I've always dreamed of having an oc suffer the effects of transforming into a different creature during some specific period, though maybe not a wolf.. How about some dragon-avian like thing?(the western dragon type, I mean. Of course I'll probably try to draw it myself so my readers can see it too) It's probably pretty ferocious, though still sentient and not totally out of control. It's not the oc's human consciousness, but neither is it savage. Anyway, she probably fights using average alchemical skills and good reflexes, but she's not going to specialise in any one element, because she's got affinity for all (like, cos of her elemental powers..)
So.. What should her eye Colour be? I was thinking one should be a beautiful cherry blossom pink like hiou shizuka in vampire knight while the other should be a bright aquamarine (you know, to symbolize that while her sex is female because I said so, her gender is in fact kinda ambiguous. If you can't tell the difference between the two terms-for there is one-go google the answer. Btw the idea is that baby girls are dressed in pink while baby boys are dressed in blue.. Lame, I know.) however, I'm kinda afraid I'll be flamed for it being a marysue characteristic.. She's probably got a heartshaped face with small pouty lips like my own (because I have them, and they aren't common. I don't want to be the only one with them! I don't mean to say she's modeled after me, because she's most definitely not. I'm Asian.. So she's also modeled after a doll i saw once. In my childhood, i used to make up heroic stories about her.) and pale skin. I don't know why, but I want her to be good at gambling! (maybe there's an explanation.. She's a seraph, after all.. Thus she has great luck) however, she has vices like drinking, stealing etc. An impure seraph, maybe fallen. Yeah, that might work. If she weren't fallen, she wouldn't have been summoned to FMA's world from the other side of the gate which is our world, because she'd have been safe in heaven instead. I believe she would have great physical strength(she can easily have her enemies in a chokehold with one hand and fling them across the room, cracking the wall on the opposite end. But, her body is fragile, so it's a contradiction.
So, what's her name and title? Hmm.. Her title.. Could it be the Irritum alchemist? (meaning 'void') and her name? Maybe.. Enfer Trinteza? Verloren enfer? Himmeleis enfer? Ushinawa cielo? Cielo filium? Oh man.. At least they sound male..
Real name? Maybe it will never be revealed.. Anyway throughout the series what would she be addressed as? Enfer? At least it sounds like envy.. And her blood will most probably be silver-blue, and burns like ice on contact. (Seraphs are supposed to be angels of flame, if I'm not wrong. I know they're associated with that element!)
Then, what should she wear? It can't be too girly like ciel's simply because it would not be believable in that she tried to disguise herself.. But it can't be too manly because prepubescent boys don't wear manly clothes..
Wait.. On second thought, she should be older than prepubescent eg maybe early teens kinda boy? Maybe a 15-year-old boy disguise. Then 'he' will wear a trench coat with a design like lelouch's and black pants underneath. Probably a plain white silk shirt underneath.. With a string tie like Allen walker's. Probably she's gonna wear a hat like yuber from suikoden.. What kind of weapons? Hmm.. I'll leave that to the next post. This is getting too long. Seriously.
