Name stereotype vs. Reality

Posted 4 years, 5 months ago (Edited 4 years, 5 months ago) by DanTheMemeMan

Base on the name of the above characters make assumptions about the character then explain how far it was about the truth. please make two or three sentences for the assumptions not just a word or two. Link or IC it doesn't matter But link wouldn't let the poster see the character so if you just provide the name. Might help to provide species if someone does physical appearance assumptions. (If this already exists I'm sorry I couldn't fine it though)


First character is Hugo. He is a Demon.

Judas-la-Carotte 

There is no way he is not some sort of vampire. Probably wears a cravat and has long, black hair. Cultured, aside from the whole “blood-drinking” thing.

Reality: Not a vampire, but still a guy with temporal issues (though future to past). Has long (but brown) hair, and I think that’s a cravat? I don’t actually know what a cravat is. I think he seems cultured to other people, but may or may not be (depending on your definition of cultured).  


Betzalel? (Monster)


jukeboxes

SkywardtheDragon

That name makes me think of a monster that is really unique - as in, they are one of the only of their kind and appear very terrifying and dangerous - but Betzalel sounds like a rather nice name! Seems to me like a mysterious monster who is greatly misunderstood, and is really kind if you'd just give them a chance... but they could still hurt you if they really wanted to. (I'm at least 80% sure that my interpretation is wrong lmao)

Reality: Oh wow!! I was very wrong haha... the story behind this character is really very beautiful, not only in the written description but in the design too! I just have a naturally sillier idea of characters ig ;;


For the person below me - let's try Benjamin Dallas!

expectation: when i think of someone named bob, i think of a normal dude. bob, to me, is one of the most average/unassuming names out there, and that connotation combined with an alien makes me think that he might be friendly? as friendly as a parasite could be, of course. he could at least be benign or have a symbiotic relationship with his host.

reality: oh, he's a mignyan! i guess that rules out the parasite/host relationship i was talking about. he's also more eccentric than i thought he was going to be, which is cool :^) i like him!


aight let's try my boi chris jensen :^)

expectation; a name like casimir del rosario instantly makes me think of a badass italian or hispanic spy. like i can imagine casimir being a person who is insanely serious and knows how to get work done quick. im picturing a tall, lean man with tan skin, black hair, and maybe sunglasses or a suit??


reality; ok so was right about the tan skin and hispanic origins!! but i was SOO off about his personality and clothing bahaha. definitely didnt expect him to be so kind and gentle as he is. also for sure not a spy, but a professer sounds so much cooler. overall, i definitely prefer your version of casimir than mine lmao

expectation: for some reason the name 'hans' gives me artist vibes! it always has, not sure if i heard of an artist w/ that name at some point or what but i got that association! it's also a nickname i'm assuming, and artists often have their own aliases   i feel like he's a secretive dude who mainly keeps to himself, holed up in his house or apartment or w/e more often than not! probs a bit of a grump too - a little off topic from the artist thing, but i also get vibes that he dresses quite well? semi formally/smart casual? maybe mid 30s

reality: oh interesting! i knew there were creative vibes in there somewhere but it was in the form of writing/literature and not visual arts! while i was expecting a grump, i wasn't totally expecting someone w/ a negative outlook/cynical :0 him being a part of the war definitely took me by surprise too, he's a  v interesting character (and also younger than i imagined, way younger lol, tho it's fair to assume he ages throughout his story?)

have travis-king minor!

Sunset-Peril

Expectation: The king-minor part of his name makes me think that he has some sort of high-class royalty associated with him and that he is quite young. I also get the feeling that he is part of maybe something future-y or fantasy. 

Reality: Ummm, wow. That was not what I imagined at all! I really didn't expect a bakery owner in a very present country! I wasn't expecting the blond hair either, I think I had a black-purple-y/space thing in my head, and much older than I thought.

Let's throw Nadia Bloodlust into this thing! (Content warning on profile, nothing NSFW though. see profile warning for details ^^)

Expectation: Hm... for Cedric I'm either thinking a nerdy librarian or scientist character, or a rebellious teen, no inbetween haha. Maybe short brown hair, long sleeved button downs, slacks, maybe suspenders.... Mulder is an interesting last name and kinda makes me think of mulch hehe...,maybe a gardener? He might be introverted and value his alone time, and might be facing an inner struggle... i think he might have warm colors in his design, like brown, yellow, and tan. Maybe he might have glasses! 

Reality: OH WOW I really love this character waddaheck. He was not like i expected at all personality wise, instead being kinda stern (with the cool double personality thing!!) I thought he would be a bit younger! I also did not expect him to be part monster or have (had) an office job, but it's really nice! (i also respect a man who loves karaoke) I enjoy this character. He is facing an inner struggle though so yey I got a thingy right! He also has short brown hair! All in all this guy is a really nice surprise and I really like the creative twist the monster fusion added!


For the user below, have a shot at my dude Farrow Twells? He's human.
