Ask the person above OOC about their character!

Posted 6 years, 2 months ago (Edited 5 months, 17 days ago) by Luke (CHIEF) hedgemaze

There's a thread for asking IC questions to the character above, but I am a sucker for all dem sweet, sweet character development tidbits, so if you're like me and you've ever wondered what inspired someone to make their characters, here is the thread for you.

Post IC (but don't actually write IC) as the character you want the person below you to ask you a question about, or you can let them ask about any of your characters (or a certain group of characters)! Ask any question OOC to the above character's owner, like perhaps what inspired a certain design choice, what gave them the idea for the character in the first place, what aspect of their character they struggled most in writing, or if the character has changed significantly over time. Anything you want, really (it doesn't have to be a character development question: it can be any OOC question about the character, or a group of them). Claim first if you need time to look through their characters or read their profile(s). And after you've been asked a question, edit your post with your answer.

Rules:

  • Please try to ask an interesting question!
  • Nothing too sensitive here, please. If you must post something sensitive, use a spoiler cut or make the text and highlight color the same. There is another thread for NSFW questions.
  • Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your question! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your question in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
  • You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
  • Wait at least a couple of posts before going again.
  • You can bump the thread as often as you like; I don't mind.
  • BE NICE!  

I'll start us off with this guy. Have fun!


Edit: my answer

So Luke and the other two terrorists were inspired by an incident when my friend and I were in high school, and running around the neighborhood like the teenage idiots we were, wearing all the Halloween costume items from my basement that we could manage: among them, a Christmas reindeer antler headband and a child's toy fireman helmet. A guy yelled out of the window of his pickup truck that terrorists like us are what America stands against... which was an insane thing to yell at teenagers in stupid costumes, but it made me think, what if I played that guy straight and he was right?


Interested in more games for character questions?

Azu & Rizu STOy_Box

Most of his dislikes are things any person would dislike, but rice pudding? How'd that happen, lol?


While there aren't any abilities he likes to copy, he'll usually avoid water or ocean related abilites. They dredge up bad memories :/

V


Yuugi zinnia

does he have a 'preference' for abilities he's copied? as in, are there certain abilities he likes to copy, while others he'll avoid copying even if he's able to because theyre unpleasant for whatever reason?

...not yet, be it fortunately or unfortunately. she fights dirty and generally doesn't care what she has to do to get what she wants. which may or may not include throwing 'allies' in harm's way to buy time. to those who could give her a real challenge, she's not seen as worth the effort - as long as she stays in the underground and keeps her party there, she can keep doing that.

though there's a scenario where she'd easily be completely overwhelmed involving a 15 foot tall space virus god, but i'm...... working on that arc ASDFGHJ

Achi SapphireBatWings

Was there ever a situation that she wasn't able to strongman her way through? If so, how did she handle that?


She has a few tattoos. Assuming that you're talking about the spine one; that one is there to cover up a very large scar on her back. She is interested in mortuary science because she has a fascination with death overall and likes keeping company with dark/unhappy spirits that usually linger in funeral homes.

Barnabas Zedok TenMomentsTill

Does Achi's tattoo have any meaning behind it? What about mortuary science does she find so interesting?

___________

Barnabas likes cheap romance novels, but does he like any higher quality ones? Is there a reason for his love of them?

He doesn't need to sleep so he often winds up with a lot of free time at night. He'll read higher quality novels on occasion. The cheap ones are stupid and predictable, but they are still a fun time killer. 

How did Barnabas meet Loveless?

They met at a fair. Loveless hit on him with zero intent of them actually dating. Low and behold, they started dating.

Marius is genuinely a carnivore lmao so as long as it has meat in it he's happy. That said, I imagine he hates cooking birds since that means plucking feathers lol

Mai IronyMobile

What sort of things does he like to cook, and doesn't like to?


4 feet tall.

She likely either watches videos online, draws/paints (canvas or clothing), or meanders to bother people. She likes being irritating, sometimes.

Nomios spoilk

how big is mai? and also, what does she do in her free time :))

----

ya! his fellow nymphs are his closest friends :)) also how he grew up is a bit difficult- in my mythos nymphs are just reincarnations of human beings that retain some previous memories. so when Theo was "born" he was just reincarnated as a satyr. He was taught the ropes of being a nymph, and relegated to a status coinciding w/ his power!

Pheta ToastedTreasure

Does Theo have any close friends? also where/who did he live with when he was younger?

~
He grows white quartz from his legs! Also he has nice memories of him and his mom cooking his birthday cake together and Feilik bringing him to the overworld for the first time.

Larakriz SapphireBatWings

What kind of crystals grow out of his legs? And does he have any favorite memories of his mom?

 Ashton Holloway (Exrobite) RabbitJaguar

Since Larakriz and Cheydonna are pretty much opposites, what is one thing they have in common? What was it that made Larakriz fall in love with her to begin with?

- Seeing as exrobites usually take over those they see as having done wrong, does ashton ever have second thoughts about how responsible/deserving the person who killed him had been, seeing as his bio states they fell asleep at the wheel.
No. He believes there are plenty of ways the driver could have prevented being in that situation.

- are exrobites a common thing to see in his world? if not, how do people react to the way he is/how does he hide it
exrobites aren't all that common, and people usually treat him like a freak. He's long since become numb to it.

- If exrobites *are* common, then has he ever dealt with a body who he later finds out the soul of has moved on to posses someone like he has?
If he has, he didn't know it

- this is more of a species question than just him, but does he resemble his old self at all, or is his appearence 100% that of the body he's possesing (discounting the ghost limbs of course LOL)
He doesn't resemble his old self much at all.

- on that topic, what did he used to look like?
He used to be taller, but other than that he doesn't really remember

- Does the irony of having deer features when he died via car wreck reach him at all :sob:
HE HAS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED THAT AND NEITHER HAVE I HGJOSHUFD

The Mourner (Rhymes) (Indigo II) Darkia

I think this is the third time I've claimed you in this thread :sob: sorry about that

questions for ashton!

-Why is he collectively referred to as "The Mourner"?

In-universe, that's the name of his role in the "prophecy" and what hes referred to in legends and stuff. Basically any incarnation of indigo is a form of "the mourner". The meta reason he was given this title was because out of his whole party indigo is the one least able to let get of the past and make it through the trauma of losing so many people. He cares about the people he loves a lot and anything happening to them hurts.

-With Indigo never receiving a revelation about who he was, does this impact him in any way? Was Ben right about who he is a reincarnation of?

He didnt really care tbh. He believed ben but with no memories and no real frame of reference he just kinda went "ok" and moved on to helping ben find the others. Ben was right about it also, he could tell since indigo looks near identical to how he did in the previous life

-Since he's a changeling and it seems like he can shapeshift based on his ref, does Indigo have any other forms he takes on other than the two on his reference sheet?

The form indigo takes most of the time is basically the same as his body from his previous life but with a few minor differences. He took this form subconsciously and he doesnt know that's what it is, but it's the way hes most comfortable. Changelings are super disliked in the world hes in so he has to be careful about any transforming since anyone finding out could lead to him dying (and nobody in his party but ben know that hes a changeling) so he only uses his transforming powers scarcely

- How many people know of his lycanthropy? Is it an open secret, or do only a select few know?
He's open about it. Being a werewolf is something that is inherited and they are fairly common in the area that Viktor lives. While he doesn't mention he is, unless asked, people typically clock him as one due to his eye colour. There aren't a ton of things that naturally have orange eyes.

- What's his main diet as a werewolf?
Normal human food lol. He's basically just a dude who can shapeshift.

- What's his preferred method of witch-hunting?
Ideally, it's in a group of 3-4 people and they can surprise shot on it. More often than not, it devolves into a brawl.

A simple set of three for Isandro

- How did Korun ever murder Isandro?

- What are his manners like while interacting with peers?

- How does Isandro look not ghostly, but earthly as a human?

Answers

- Bad bacteria like Serena eat important materials such as carbohydrates/sugars, just like in the Once Upon a Time; Life cartoon

- Rat ears naturally torn up or modeled by the fights with good bacteria

Lark Rhodes RabbitJaguar

What does Serena eat? How did her ear get torn up?

He probably had several players that he looked up to, although he wanted to craft his own style instead of trying to mimic them. No one else in his family played baseball specifically, but his family is all filled with sports enthusiasts in general.
