Rory BloodyMarley

expectation: okay. so . male, probably pretty young, like around 15-17 or so? i feel like prince might not be his real name but is what people call him so often it's pretty much become what he goes by. elemental powers, i'm thinking water? the headpiece is making me think of pearls and the ocean. he looks like a pretty gentle soul, if not a little shy. probably has a lot more power than he's comfortable with. maybe he's a healer?

reality: oh he's older than i thought! definitely royalty thought that's fairly obvious given his name. i wasn't expecting him to be merfolk but it makes sense, and isn't too far off from my guess of.... um, general ocean person? i didn't expect him to run away from the kingdom, though, but i guess that goes along the same idea of being unhappy with the power or position you're in. i got the healing bit right too! wasn't expecting the sarcasm though lol

Lan Zhao 🌨️🎧💤 Pulcella

Expectation: I'm getting gothic lolita vibes based on the icon. Rory seems like they have an elegant aesthetic but a silly personality. I think they're some sort of bunny, or they could be wearing bunny ears as an accessory. I'll probably find out in just a moment. Also have the feeling I'm gonna see something spooky on their profile.

Reality: So ig I was right about the bunny part, or whatever "doll-vampire-rabbit thing" is xD. That's a fun combo. I was completely wrong about everything else except her personality and gothic lolita outfit. Love that she was based on a ball-jointed doll. I love doll based characters!

Dispatch (Tint) Darkia

Expectation: The character seems to be bundled up judging by their outfit and the snowy emoji in their name, and along with the colourpallete I'm going to guess that they're connected to winter in some way, whether that be just a theming, or they have an affinity for it as part of their personality (they could also just live somewhere cold). Judging by the other emojis in their name, I'm going to guess that their personality is lazy and carefree, probably enjoys bundling up with a cup of hot chocolate and sleeping in until noon.

Reality: Oh looks like I was way off! Only thing I was really right about was the "being cold" part, but that's because he's just dead and not snow themed haha. His personality was described as bouncy and energetic, which was also way off from the sort of "perpetually sleepy" character I was imagining. I also wasn't expecting the streamer/idol aspect! again, I was thinking of a character who stays shut-in their house all day! way off it seems haha

Lunareon MeowMeow422

Expectation: he looks super friendly and kind! Getting the looks tough but actually a sweetheart vibes! Prob an extrovert too.

As for job... something relating to plants. Maybe a herbalist? Or a gardener? Oh, or something else—a baker!

Idk, these are just my thoughts lol

Reality: Gaw damn. Talk about whiplash.

Okay, so not a herbalist, gardener, or a baker—they're a literal mortician lmao. Seriously never even considered that.

Plus, not an extrovert at all. Tho they don't mind friendly chatter, they're not going around and making friends left and right. The cat lover tidbit is honestly so adorable btw (very bias here but mweh)

Ouh, and they're non verbal! I haven't seen a lot of those kinda chara so this is very fascinating. And the fact they're face is damaged due to a freak accident at an amusement park? Yikes!

At least they've come to terms with it. Hope they have a brighter future

Np. Pls ping! If ic doesn't interest you, Solareon (pic below) is also an option!

Djai CrzzyCat

Expectation: Okay, I'm not really into pokemon, but they look like they might be a deity/powerful being/ maybe a fortune teller?

Either way, I think they're very wise, while simultaneously extremely emotionally numb.

They're either a skilled fighter, or hate fighting and avoid it at all costs.

Probably not a lot of friends, I get "introvert that sits in the corner" vibes.

---

Reality: HAHAHA! Called it, she's a deity!

She's cheerful and outgoing, but it says "despite appearances" so there's nothing I could've realistically done about it xd

There's nothing that states one thing or another, so not going to assume

Again, not an introvert! But couldn't have guessed that solely from vibes ;_;


Skullamander Void_Lizard

Expectation: Comfort character, young adult house cat, male, something other than just heterosexual. Very shy, quiet, maybe a bit awkward. Genuinely a nice person and easy to get along with if you can get them out of the shell. Likes quiet hobbies like books, gardening, and maybe art? If it's a universe with regular jobs, I can see Djai being someone who works long hours alone. Something technical and skilled maybe.


Reality: Boy was I wrong about a lot lmao. A curious Khajiit, so yes on the cat thing, also yes on being male. Got adopted by a rich family and works with magic. Loves exploring and figuring things out. Known to get in trouble, but I don't think he means harm in any way. Went missing one day after making a deal with what is basically a devil of knowledge and lost a lot. Not sure if it was worth it, but you know what they say about curiosity.



his name reminds me of 'salamander' - This was intentional! His name is a mix of 'skull' and 'salamander' as in the magic fire-related ones.

perhaps the fire magic and pyromania resulting in him getting burn scars  as a child is part of the recklessness, not quite sure though. - Yeah more or less. The burn scars are from several different accidents, both major during a war and minor during his teen years from being careless around fire. Some ae probably not his fault, cuz of the whole war thing, but most are him being way too drawn to fire for his own good.

Whydah Caloris AsianTapWater

Expectation: From his icon, Skullamander gives the vibes of someone who is very proud but also reckless. He gets into fights a lot, usually started by him. I'm going to guess that the creature behind him is what he can transform into, based on the name, so he might be some kind of shifter? Perhaps a dragon of some kind, or maybe even an amphibian (his name reminds me of 'salamander'). 

Reality: I was right about him being a dragon! It's interesting that he was born a human but then became a dragon, rather than being a dragon who can shapeshift into a human. I was right about him being proud as well; perhaps the fire magic and pyromania resulting in him getting burn scars as a child is part of the recklessness, not quite sure though.

vera aranha pepperpenguin

Expectation: gives me a dnd magician or even bard vibe from the pfp. but i think i see some fancy clothes so mayb a royal guy? or a fancy librarian def not human though, mayb an elf or smth adjacent? looks pretty srs and poker-faced, mayb the stolid one who doesn't take shit from anyone and politely trashtalks ppl they don't like

Reality: ok so i completely got the personality wrong lol, shy and awkward. i did get the nonhuman thing n magician thing right though, there's a big dnd-like vibe. they did give me a book-ish energy too, which was right!

Pandora kleptomaniac

Expectation: Feel likes an extroverted person. Maybe a little sassy, or slightly rude. Feels kind of like the type to weaponize flirting. 

Reality: 

NVM LOL. Completely different - she's tough but seems friendly.

Aura Pastafang

Expectation:
They LOOK cute and innocent... yet I get a sneaking suspicion they are intentionally misleading me. There is definitely more to this kitty than meets they eye. I feel like they are quiet and unassuming to hide the fact they are cunning and plotting something sinister. Also the necklace looks like it could perhaps be magical?

Reality:
Oh I was wayyy off LOL! She is a lot more chaotic and hyperactive than I expected. I suppose it makes sense considering she is a child, which I also did not expect. I suppose there does seem to be some hints of a sinister nature, but definitely not in the lowkey insidious way I was expecting. At least I was kind of right about the magic necklace.

Martell Mutonian

Expectation: Hmmm. Definitely not a ‘do not be afraid’ kind of angel, but maybe just someone’s guardian angel? I could be wrong. They seem very stoic and controlled, almost cold but not in a bad way. Incredibly valiant, like someone’s knight in shining armor.

Reality: So I was kind of right about her demeanor. Definitely not a guardian angel but something much more serious, I like that about her. I didn’t expect her to be a demon hunter, actively seeking the threat out, but it suits her. I also quite like her voiceclaim and I will say I expected her to sound more monotone for some reason. Really neat character. 

Haimati SapphireBatWings

Expectation: okay so Im getting dad vibes or rich uncle vibes. I feel like he'd be either smug and/or a bit arrogant. Dark sense of humor. Very much prefers black coffee and fine wine. I'm getting a sense that he is sophisticated and enjoys fine art.

Reality: So I was way off. Nosy and detail oriented is just about as close as I got to the reality. "Not inadequate for his career in the slightest." Is exactly what I didn't expect! He doesn't have those spiffy Victorian chap vibes that I had imagined.

Bitsy Bugbite Awake_Ache

Expectation: Ohhhhh, she looks cool. 100% vibes I'm getting is a more butch girl, Kind of like Undyne the Undyne from undertail. But that might just her instument looks like a spear. She feels like she would have a natural loud voice. Someone that is agressive, even to her friends. But not in a mean way. In a 'HI BEST BUDDY COME HERE FOR YOUR DAILY DEATH SQUEEZE!" As for her eyes, I think she's gonna be the type to have lost it EPICCLY via fighting a crocodile or smth. Like, Agressivly passive sorrta you know? I also wanna add on that I feel like she is gonna have a girlfriend who is the complete opposite of her. Instead of loud and agressive, she'd be soft and sweet. Maybe that's just my Opposites attract trope demon speak.

Reality: BABY GIRL! SHES SO SAD, NOOOOOOO. So basically, I was kinda correct but also not at all. What I described was the mask she puts on to hide the fact that she's depressed. I wouldn't have expected her to be Tryphobic, but I can understand the geese. Those poops are horrifying. And forgive me if I am wrong and/or have missed something but she actually does have her eye! She didn't loose it at all. But, but but but, she is a supernatural thing. So she probably could lose it at some point. And no girlfriend. But she is Heteromantic Bisexual! All and all, really cool character! I am glad I got to read her!

v Oh no, you were right about the old part! I put at least a day to try and be sarcastic and to roleplay a little as them because they don't really know! AKA "How old are you?" "Older than a few hours."

Dilwyn Blanche🌹🤍🩸 Pulcella

Expectation: The name and design are giving me retro cartoon vibes, so imma roll with that. I have a hunch that Bitsy is an actual bug, but I'm not sure what. Their outfit looks reminiscent of a show performer, sooo I'm guessing Bitsy is a performer. They seem rather reclusive yet talented in whatever they perform as. Getting dancer vibes.

Reality: I was wrong in every way! They're a day old and they're a little troublemaker. Bitsy has a cute design and I found their bio really endearing. No retro cartoon or performer stuff, but their personality would fit the role.
