I'm sure many of you have seen the numbered or symboled questions that are meant to be used for character development. I've always wanted to give them a try (and maybe you have too), and this thread will give us an opportunity to! If this gets enough interest I may find more question sets that are numbered or lettered so we can have a bigger pool of questions.

★ How to Play 
Written below is a set of numbered questions. The goal of this game is to pick or (or two or three) to ask of a character that belongs to the poster above you.
Initial post: Look at the above user's character gallery and select a character you're curious about. Make a post pinging the user above that included both the name of/link to the character you want to know about, then post the number/s of the question/s you want to ask!
Answering questions: Once someone posts below you and chooses a character and a question to ask, edit your post and answer the questions accordingly!

★ Rules ★
I'll have to add more rules to fit the game, but for now I'm a thread-running novice and can only think of one really important thing: remember this thread is all-age friendly. It is not categorized as mature, so please be mindful of our younger players bye avoid overly sexual answers to questions. Thank you!

For the sake of organization I'm going to ask the first poster just claim a spot and skip me!

this is kinda long so im putting it under a spoiler thing aaa

13. What gets them flustered?
A lot of things really, Vince is suuuper easy to fluster. Mainly praising him will make him flush and fall silent or pout. Pet names are another way. If ur trying to fluster him in a angry way, commenting on his appearance is one way to make him really flushed and upset.

17. Vince really regrets a lot of things, but his main one is how he let his second oldest brother abuse him the way he did instead of fighting back. He still thinks he could have done something, and blames himself despite not having been able to get out of the situation any better. He also regrets not doing any better in highschool and wishes he could go back and try and get better grades.

22. Vince really really looks up to his older friend, Ryder. Ryder is a very strong people (physically and mentally) who basically raised Vince and taught him most of what he knows. Vince loves Ryder like a brother and would do anything for him. Ryder influenced most of his life choices for the better. His oldest brother, Dakota is probably the biggest influence in Vince's life, setting a good example for him from a very young age. He's also the one who helped Vince get the money to start T and get a binder and a lot of other things.

If they have a completely blank page, try not to ask them, they're still being problem children for me in terms of character. x'D

3. Scars or painful spots

Shu's got a few scars he's hiding under his wrap/bandages besides the visible one on his mouth. He does have a very sensitive spot that a small burn near his heart were he had a certain incident happen.

8. Bad memories/experiences

He's got quite a few bad ones, most involve his job and are the "first times" he's done something. One is the aforementioned burn-scar on his chest and how he got it. Another is he gets extremely uncomfortable in hospitals due to the experiments done to him.

18. Things they’ll never admit

He'll refuse to admit his fear of cats even though they nearly petrify him at first sight, that he likes strawberry sundaes and he likes collecting post cards of places he's been to.

12. Grudges and vendettas

Since his escape from his creators, Artemis has ran into quite an array of creatures and while he is a bit of a jerk, he honestly doesn't have anything against any specific person or thing. However, there is one one group of mystical creatures that he just cannot stand and would sometimes go out of his way to fight/kill them. This would be gargoyles as they have caused nothing but problems for the chimera since in the beginning, they were popularly used to try to bring him back to the lab.

18. Things they’ll never admit

There are a few things, one would be admitting that he is quite the attention hog and honestly it is one that he would desperately look for, even if he isn't so aware of it. The other thing he wouldn't admit out loud would be his strange like of chickens as for where it came from or how it developed, he actually isn't too sure. In any case, they are considered his favorite animal and honestly goes as far as not even eating anything chicken related. 

22. People who’ve influenced them greatly

There was only one person that had influenced them and if it wasn't for that person he actually wouldn't have wanted to escape his human creators or have thought about it at all. He was an old chimera that had been there for years but unlike Artemis, he had a normal life before coming to the lab. After hearing about the world outside, he wanted nothing more to see everything that was described to him and actions speak louder than words, so he acted instead of just sitting around which now leaded him to his freedom.

2 - Their emotional/moral weak spots

Kirie subscribed the hateful mob mentality of her parents religion for a long time, so she's still a flawed character.  She wants to be loving and kind to everyone, but years of ingrained hatred still manifest, lashing out at the wizards she meets and treating them quite harshly.

5 - Guilty pleasures

Just sticking her finger in honey and eating it, without adding it to anything.

12 - Grudges and vendettas

As before, she's pretty hateful towards the wizards she meets initially, but its out of fear rather than a grudge.  Her only 'grudge' to speak of she holds against her hometown, for turning on her and attempting to execute her.  But even that just saddens her more than anything else.

4. Best places to kiss on their body
Along his spine, where the neck and the shoulders meet, and the inner side of his thighs. They're all very sensitive spots and he really enjoys when someone pays extra attention to those places~

9. Humiliating memories
Pretty much any of his early rejections. He's no longer bothered by it now and capable of shrugging it off if someone persistently turns him down, but back when he was less skilled at what he does, it was really embarrassing to him to be turned down in public. It would keep him awake and thinking about everything he said and did all night, but at least that helped him get that much better at the whole seduction business.

13. What gets them flustered
Pretty much nothing. He's shameless as hell and if anyone ever manages to get him truly flustered, the apocalypse is probably near. He is very good at playing coy and flustered though, if that counts? Mostly when it seems like it could give him an advantage. If someone thinks it's cute and appealing to see him giggle and blush over gifts and compliments, then alright, he's gonna indulge them.

10. Fears/Phobias

"I would have to say snow, dearie. Yes, I know, it's quite beautiful and harmless. To you, at least. Whenever I see it I get powerful flashbacks of, well, I'd rather not say. So in short, I'm afraid of snow, and I'm afraid of people seeing me in that state."

14. Habits

"Naps, of course! I simply MUST have a nap three times a day. Unfortunately, sometimes that means while driving, hmm."

17. Regrets

"My, there's a lot. I suppose I can somewhat regret playing with so many hearts before becoming a Sin, you know, just because it lead to where I am now. However, I wouldn't have met Grigori if it weren't for that. That's another regret, falling in love with him. Then I wouldn't have to... Ah, apologies, dearie. I'm quite bored of this conversation now."

hope

5. Guilty pleasures

though she's very conscious of her looks and her figure, hope really loves baking! she's a sweet tooth (pocky is her fave) and she binge watches cooking videos (betty crocker mainly, but she sometimes likes to watch gordon ramsay yell at ppl)

11. Bad or petty habits

fussing over herself in the mirror, she could be in public and walk past a shiny window that showed her reflection and she would spend 5 minutes fixing her hair in it regardless of where she is

17. Regrets

she really regrets how 'fake' she was with people, even if they knew it was a facade? tate especially, since she was always worried about him and how he bottles up his emotions so much. she wishes she could've just dropped the whole 'primadonna' act and just be honest with people. she picked it up from her mother, who always put on a pretty face to get what she wanted. hope never clicked that it ended up worse than it was to begin with

20. What-ifs/Alternate Timelines

in the alpha timeline (hope's main), she's an 18 year old girl. however, in the beta timeline (hale's main), hope is hale's mother, a very successful businesswoman who tries to compensate for her absence with hale through presents and anything she wants, as well as spending time off with her on days out, etc. she is often paranoid about becoming like her own mother, who carelessly spoiled hope as a child without even considering that hope just wanted her mother to be there for her, so she goes to great lengths to ensure that hale actually gets to spend time with her mother when possible.

i also have a sort of high school AU for most of my characters.........hope is definitely the bitchy head cheerleader lmao (think brittnay matthews from TMPGiS)

5 - Guilty pleasures

He's starting to take an interest in botany and gardening thanks to his bf.  Doesn't really fit in with the tough guy image he likes to present.

9 - Humiliating memories

Probably failing his Dark Knight exam is one of the worst.  Most people fail the exam, but none outright shatter the equipment used during it.  Ed managed to do just that, without any explanation as to why.  The examiners turfed him out pretty quickly and banned him from retaking it much to his shame.

16 - Dark secrets

Without going into too much detail, Ed experiences terrifying nightmares about killing innocent people, which is at odds with his job as a knight.  He tells himself they're just dreams, but they seem far too real.

6. Vices
"Wicked? Immoral? What do you mean? I'm not doing anything bad, I'm helping people learn to be happy by showing them what's inside. :) Although sometimes I need to literally take out what's inside in order to get them to smile. :) As for the ones that aren't always happy, well, they shouldn't be around making people sad. :)"

19. People killed
"Before I became who I am today, I used to get made fun of for the bag on my head during my time in high school. No, they didn't bully me outright, but they all kept a distance and stared at me like some freak. They were all the first ones I killed. :) Every. Single. One. :) Nothing made me happier than painting the walls with their smiles while their friends watched before joining. :) There are plenty other people I've visited to help them be happy, but none have impacted me too much. :)"

2.Their emotional/moral weak spots

Io's origin, her village's culture and traditional aspects, have some pretty flawed and sometimes even nasty practices that Io doesn't deem/see anything wrong (not until it's practically slapping her on the face, a few years later). Some examples of it include: villagers who don't want to participate in dancing or singing traditions are stigmatized or just generally looked down upon even though they said it was free choice to do so or not. There is even Io's circumstances-- her marriage isn't a personal want, its a bargain chip, and the fact that while not explicitly done, Io was carefully cultivated to grow up being a perfect. loving, and caring wife, not a leader. She was raised with a certain goal in mind, yet despite all these backwards thinking, Io still loves her village and will not hesitate to defend it from criticism.

5.Guilty pleasures

Cold Ebony is one. She's kinda afraid to let Ignis know, despite her liking it better when it's iced Ebony instead (regular Ebony works too, but cold ones are just her guilty pleasure). Another thing is Ignis' pancakes. She only got to try it once and pretty much the best way to get her to calm down are iced Ebony and his pancakes.

9.Humiliating memories

There's three in particular she will never EVER forget. The first is: The very first time she met Noctis' group and she ends up thinking that Ignis' actual name is Specs. Up until they were finished with the hunt, she never did have any reason to call any of them by their names (she just concluded what their names were based on what she hears of them) so when they ended up camping, she blurts it out by accident. At that point, she already knows for sure what Noct, Prompto, and Gladio's names were. However, at that time, she was helping Ignis set up the cook ware and she just went ahead and called him Specs. When she got corrected, Io probably felt like digging herself in a well (to be fair, none of the boys also got her name until they met up again in Lestallum)

The second time is a bit more on the sad side for Io: It's when her fiance revealed to her that he never really did held up his end of the alliance, after she has painstakingly defended him from Ignis' criticism. At that point, her memories also returned, so it's pretty much a mix of humiliating and deathly humiliating memories (on the plus side, this is also were she starts falling in love with him)

The last one is probably the saddest and least hopeful of her humiliating memories: During the Hunt that got her injured. It was a big blow to her not only because she is injured to the point of turning mute, but also because she was blind-sided. Her job is to keep everyone else from being blind-sided and of all things to happen, her job is what crippled her. She takes pride in being able to help her friends and being good at it so her voice wasn't the only thing that was destroyed at that time. (it doesn't help as well that her voice rendered her useless for at least a few years, her profile stated that it took her a few years before she could hunt competently once more)

13.What gets them flustered

Hoooh boy, let's see...Ignis teasing her, Ignis being a romantic, Ignis when his hair is down, this girl is absolutely 100% always flustered when Ignis is around or is mentioned to her. She's a maiden in love, probably head over heels for that man, and while she churns out most of the jokes to her friends, she will always be speechless when turnabout happens and she gets teased with him. Even after they're married, she will still get flustered by the occasional romantic gesture from him and when others would note that "They're being lovey-dovey again". Everything else, she will be unfazed or would just smile it off.

3. Scars or painful spots

Zachary has small scars, usually by the battles he encounters in missions or through paper cuts.  A "noticeable" one (behind all the feathers) is located near his arm due to being a bit too close to a knife. That said scar is a bit painful to touch, but he doesn't have to deal with it too much since it's covered by his jacket and communications device.

5. Guilty pleasures

Cheesy romantic poetry. He has a small, yet sizable collection hidden somewhere in his desk and would read chapters of them before going to bed. When he gets bored, he usually analyzes and heavily annotates inside the books about the "deep" meanings made by the authors.

14. Ingrained habits/forces of habit

Constantly checking his communications device (during missions) and/or computer(off duty) and drinking coffee by the gallon whenever he wakes up late/outside his set time. Zachary also tends to have stress get over him at times since he usually hides it. He also has a tendency to double check his work.
