Q105. Which OC of yours is the closest to nature?
In terms of animals, probably this fellow here. He's the host of the deity of animals, so animals are just naturally drawn to him, but even without that he's very good with animals and sensing their feelings through their behavior and mannerisms. He tends to prefer the company of animals and being in nature more than being around people and in society, aside from his closest friends and his adoptive family. Shrike is most definitely an outdoor person and chose to live on a remote island with nothing but nature, the local wildlife, and all the birds he breeds and raises. He definitely has living without modern commodities down to a science. Ein totally loves animals, especially exotic ones, and his parents have made it a point to build huge indoor and outdoor areas for various nature related purposes, like all their crazy pets or for their extensive gardens and whatnot. Ein kind of comes off as a very chill nature loving hippie at times just by his demeanor and the way he gushes about animals and the environment and all that jazz. Shakuru is also very much an animal person, although it's specifically for marine animals. He spends a lot of his time in the ocean or on the beach and utterly loathes people that disrespect nature or pollute or whatever.
On another note, Torenn and Aelita are close to nature because they're part dryad. Aelita has a knack for controlling nature and is very sensitive to its balance, whereas Torenn simply has a symbiotic relationship with the plants/fungi that grow with/on him. I'd say that Caltharsis and Marlex are very close to nature as well considering they're forest elves, although their current situation has their forest occupied by a ruthless empire... so that's rather problematic. Adrian and his mother always loved exploring the forest out in the countryside they visited every summer, although... that's gone rather wrong too. ^^; Although Adrian ended up meeting his eventual wife, who's also a nature person, so I suppose it worked out in the end. Caelus always preferred nature to civilization, especially since he lived in a time where the world was still being actively created by the gods around him. I'd be into exploring nature too if that was the case. And as much Char loves modern technology and advanced civilization, he comes from a village in a jungle at the bottom of a volcano with no technology for miles around. As much as he prefers to learn about all the fancy lights and sounds of the city, he's really more comfortable roughing it outdoors with treacherous terrain and dangerous wildlife all over. Lute is definitely more comfortable in nature, although he's more accustomed to the mountains and snow covered areas, but he adapts well to other environments. And he has a keen sense for the balance of nature and the spirits of the earth.
Gage is obviously more at ease in nature since he was born and raised in one during his childhood, but of course since he left and has lived in modern society for years now he's more adapted to that too. But of course he'd rather be out and about in nature and keeps his visits to the city as brief as possible. Same goes for his buddy, Xel, since he comes from a valley with no electricity and prefers roughing it to the coziness of modern settlements. But what else do you expect from a centaur and a dragonfly winged wannabe pixie thingy...? Trevor was Gage's mentor and was rumored to be a physical embodiment of the spirit of the forest. Whether that's true or not, he's very attuned to nature and the forest and just has a knack for navigating the wilds and keeping in touch with the wildlife.
And Kikea is the queen of fairies and originates from the forest, so she's very attuned to nature, especially since many fairies from that particular world are born of nature in some way. I also have a nature gal, Neai, who's a missionary for the goddess of nature, but her profile is currently private since it's pretty much empty at the moment. ^^; But she basically is sent on missions to heal the earth across the Eternity when needed with her magic plant powers or whatever you wanna call it. Let's see... Nokken lives exclusively in a deadly ghosty swamp of sorts and knows nothing but the swamp. Nyfringe also was born and lived in a swamp for a long while, although he's more worldly. He still prefers the solitude of nature and sitting out in the rain to meditate.
Q106. Which OC of yours is the most willing to take risks?
I have a buttload of characters that are risk takers, but if I exclude the people that are like "reckless and risky unless it involves the people I care about" then... Hm... Tilia's always the risk taker. She's not always considerate about who she affects with her actions and she loves provoking people into fighting her all the time. She never tries to avoid conflict or trouble unless someone in her family is basically dragging her away from confrontation by the ear. Xel is also a risk taker in basically any situation, and although he knows when he ought to just keep his mouth shut or stay out of things... more often than not he just doesn't and gets others worked up just because. Gage usually has to keep him in line, which is rather difficult. And although Xel doesn't like doing things that put those closest to him at risk, he's even more willing to do crazier stuff FOR those people he cares about rather than letting their involvement stifle his enthusiasm. So basically, take all the risks he wants, but if things go wrong he doubles down on his risk taking to get those people out of the trouble he started.
