- What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Five minutes. He always needs to be doing something active, even if he’s just sitting down to sharpen his sword. - How easy is it for your character to laugh?
In the past it was incredibly easy. Now? It’s a lot harder. There isn’t much to laugh at in the Nether. - How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)
It’s not safe to sleep in the Nether, due to how Overworld wool tends to explode when exposed to the hellish heat, so he often holes himself up in a wall and naps in a pile of hoglin leathers, wrapped in his cape. - How easy is it to earn their trust?
If you’re a complete stranger, it’s not as hard as it would be if you were a resident of his old village. It’s a lot easier for him to trust new people than it is to regain trust for the people who abandoned him. - How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
If you side with his old friends from the village, he will not trust you until proven otherwise. - Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
Laws? What laws? - What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
Nostalgia is actually pretty uncomfortable for him. It’s only been a few years, but the fire and brimstone of the Nether is what he’s used to, now. Nostalgia for the things he used to have just makes him sad and a little angry. - What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
Probably to stop wandering too far away from the village. He wanted to explore so badly, but it wasn’t exactly safe, especially when he would lose track of time and be stuck in the woods somewhere when the sun set. He was taught how to use a sword pretty quickly after the first time that happened, just in case. - Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?
In Hell no one can hear you swear so fucking much. He even knows Piglin swears. His first swear word was probably “shit”. - What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” - How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?
- How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
He wriggles and writhes until he can just about reach it, or he just tries to scratch himself against a rock or his armour if he’s taken it off. - What colour do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that colour?
Red and gold, especially against the environment of the Nether. He looks better in blues and greens, though. - What animal do they fear most?
Endermen and Phantoms. - How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
He’s been preparing his revenge speech for the past year. Anything else is just trying to sound fancy, though he does try to pick his words carefully when he speaks. - What makes their stomach turn?
Eating mushrooms, both Overworld and Nether variants. Countless times he’s been offered a warped or crimson shroom by a Piglin and he’s had to gently refuse. - Are they easily embarrassed?
If gently teased or if anyone catches him making a mistake, he becomes incredibly flustered. It depends on how much he trusts the person, if he simply stays quiet in his embarrassment or if he gets frustrated. - What embarrasses them?
Being caught in a mistake, messing up his words, being surprised to the point of being shocked out of his kingly persona. - What is their favourite number?
Three and seven. - If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
Friends and family can come and go and break your heart, but a romantic connection, once found, cannot be lived without. - Why do they get up in the morning?
Survival. - How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
He doesn’t care enough to be jealous over fancy items, but when he's jealous of someone he's simply quick to anger to cover for his jealousy. - How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
He becomes resentful and destructive, especially in front of the objects of his envy. - Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
He will act like he doesn’t know what it is in order to avoid any conversation. With a partner, though, he will be easily flustered. - What are their thoughts on marriage?
He doesn’t think it will ever happen to him. - What is their preferred mode of transportation?
Walking, but only with Soul Speed boots. He's too scared of falling into lava to ride a strider without a piglin guide. Someday he wants to fly with an elytra. - What causes them to feel dread?
Long periods of time without seeing another living creature. - Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
Lie. - Do they usually live up to their own ideals?
He holds himself up as a powerful warrior, utilising many different methods of attack and defence. And in many ways, he is very good at fighting. - Who do they most regret meeting?
For a long time, it was his friends who left him. - Who are they the most glad to have met?
… His old friends. - Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
No. - Could they be considered lazy?
No. - How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
Incredibly difficult. - How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
N/A. - Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
He isn't seeking it, nor does he expect it to come to him. - Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
Verbal repetition, or writing things down when he has access to the materials. - What memory do they revisit the most often?
The day he was trapped in the Nether. He had followed the monsters through the portal as they retreated, not knowing that his fellow villagers on the other side were preparing to destroy the portal. With his connection to the Overworld severed, he fought for his very life to survive. - How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?
If he cares for someone, he probably won't even see their flaws. - How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
He likely doesn't see any of his own flaws, but if anyone comes to him and tells him he has any, he'll become very defensive. - How do they feel about children?
He always makes an effort to be nice to them and ensure that they're safe with him. He's looked after little piglins for their parents while they've been out hunting before, when he's briefly stayed at a bastion during his search for specific materials. - How badly do they want to reach their end goal?
He has been searching for a way to return to the Overworld and enact his revenge every single day. To the point he likely won't know what do to with himself when he gets there. - If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
Men and men-adjacent.
