Reply With a Character and Number Question Game V2

A4. Fears/phobias

Wow what a doozy, what do they fear? What don't they fear?

If you asked them they'd probably answer with a generic "things that everyone fears i guess" Death, sickness? sure, they're unpleasent. Who wouldn't fear them?

But one thing they fear that they won't ever tell anyone is... being trapped.

WM pounced at the thought of getting out of their home planey, revelled in their freedom when they became a second route bounty hunter. It was heaven as far as they could tell. No eyes on them, no pity no stares, not unless they make people's eyes fall on them. And being confronted with the thought of being trapped there again? Of wanting to claw at the walls just to escape? Of dreaming and dreaming of finally being old enough to choose their route? They'd rather die.

A6. Things they don't like talking about

Feelings, eweeweurghgh <- WM's thoughts about that. Yeah you'd have better luck cracking open a max level safe with a toothpick than WM ever willingly talking about their feelings akdnxlapa. They'd babble and snark and sass but most things they tell you about them are like, surface level stuff. It's habit, at this point, to never share anything worthwhile about themself to other people.

Other than that... Orchillox, their home planet. It's... a complicated subject. The planet and people in it were.. decent and not at all terrible actually but well. Galaxclusts are a peaceful bunch, they don't really like chaos and violence. And WM always felt.. stifled, coddled almost. They got out, that's what matters, they don't want to think about what ifs and could bes.

They'll drop by to give the eggs of the poofed corrupted from their succesful hunts, but they won't step into Orchillox short of the Elder himself demanding it.

A8. Their worst failures/screw-ups

Oh BOY i actually don't know how to answer this aodkdooak. I think if they were the one to answer they'd say "the fact that they couldn't escape Orchillox earlier" or something.

But if we're talking screw ups... :) later in the story im planning on making WM's lies just, crashing down on them. Specifically with Senari their hunter partner and not-quite-friend (WM is still in denial abt them being friends <3). And everything just, goes to shit! The drama of it all! The angst fest! 

The story at this point already sees WM being more, comfortable is the word? with Senari (and Roe but thats part of the secrets), the efforts of Senari (and also Roe, again) peeling back WM's layers like a particularly hateful onion. All of it comes down on WM, confronted with the fact that their lies are out in the open now. The fact that they could lose the two people that liked caring about them. The fact that they could lose their freedom and be declared a corrupted.

They kinda lost their shit there for a bit, honestly

(There's a happy ending at the end of it, but WM was really not doing so well when everything happened haha....)

B7. Habits

They have.. a habit of just, lying. Just, keeping secrets. And doing illegal and probably morally comprehensible stuff and not telling anyone aodjxoq <3 It's almost second nature to them to hide stuff from people lmao

And there's always the threat of being declared a corrupted themself if anyone ever finds out the extent of what they've done. So they lie and hide and keep secrets. What's one more in a long list of them?

On a lighter note though, they kinda like running their fingers through their long hair. It soothes them, to feel the soft strands between their fingers. Untangling the knots and brushing away dirt. They're a creature of vanity and pride haha, they take almost extra care for their hair. Despite all the dirt and blood and.. other stuff that's usually caked in them after a hunt, it remains soft and pretty. (In their most humblest of opinions uvu)

B11. Pet peeves

Emotional and/or "naive" people. It's... yeah. They just get this face when confronted with people being emotionally vulnerable with and/or near them, like they just smelled something disgusting its hilarious.

This is one of the reasons why they felt so stifled in Orchillox, in part. Why the emotionality and cheerfulness rankled them so much that they felt trapped. It disgusts them, that vulnerability. They don't know what to do with it. What people expects them to do with it.

(Also this why children makes them so uncomfortable akdjslkalxk. They're perfectly polite to them, unlike how they are to the adults, but they're just so awkward around them haha. Doesn't stop them from making the mentioned "just smelled something disgusting" face tho.)

A2 - Dispatchs entire life is basically based on insecurity unfortunately for him lol. Dispatch is incredibly unsure of himself, its basically what led him to carry out his entire mission. He feels as if he doesn't count as an individual, and to alleviate this feeling he's turned to the most rash solution instead of working on himself.

A8 - In character dispatch would for sure say integrating tint into his arm, since if he hadn't done that then he would have a lot easier of a time doing his whole thing, aswell as not having someone bent on making him miserable attached to his whole arm. Out of character, him going through with his mission would probably be it since its put him in a spot where he's stuck doing this thing he has to totally focus his energy into believing is right.

A13 - Dispatch dials back basically every emotion they have since they see it as a weakness, and since they tend to let anger get ahold of them pretty well they try especially hard to conceal it as much as possible. But you can 1000% tell when they're mad they aren't good at hiding it whatsoever (which makes them angrier). Oftentimes their usual ":|" attitude will just totally drop as they attempt to keep their cool, and will end up going totally silent if they feel they wont be able to speak without blowing up.

B7 - he tends to stand very rigidly and unmoving, but he does this head cocking motion a lot either when talking or listening to someone. just sort of turn his head side to side every now and then. a lot of the time its the only movement he makes (other than tint, who usually moves around very animatedly when dispatch is trying to be serious)

B13 - He's just very very fun to write. I find him interesting as a character who looks down on those who emotions control them when he himself has rested his entire life on an emotional driven murder-quest. also i like to draw edgy robots LOL
