#.... wasn't pezzo di merda 'piece of shit' or am i being duped

[vancila]

2 and 10-20 for jens, ninida and alcide?

spaceman, spaceboy and italian pezzo di merda (almost got that right without a translator)

2. If they are human, have they ever questioned man kinds place in the universe? If non human, do they ever judge humanity on it’s nature?

Jens has seen many kind of people from all over the galaxy and sees them as “humane” in their own way, thinking his race is just one among the many.

Ninida sees humans similarly - they’re a flawed and weird people, but his folk is as weird in their own way. No use to judge others.

Alcide isn’t the one to ponder big things like that. Sometimes he does look up to the stars in the night, thinking what is the world he lives in, but nothing deeper.

10. What is a talent they wish they didn’t have?

None really have any, maybe Ninida would feel annoyed by his talent of making everything awkward when talking face-to-face.

11. Are they on a strict budget or are they impulse buyers?

Jens only buys on impulse if it’s a deal of a lifetime.

Learning from his dad, Ninida is a careful customer as well, but sometimes sees something he absolutely has to get and will spend a bit too much to get it.

Alcide buys almost anything he sees and likes, if he has the money in hand.

12. Would they do something morally wrong to save someone they care about?

Jens is a career criminal. He gladly blew up half a prison for his wife.

If there’s someone Ninida holds dear, he will go through extreme lengths for them, law and morals be damned.

Alcide follows the law, but if someone he loved was in actual danger he wouldn’t let a few stupid rules keep him from doing what he can.

13. Do they struggle with any disabilities, physical or mental, and how?

Jens is fit as a fiddle. Sure, he has some years on him, but that hardly slows him down.

Ninida’s half blind. It’s not a big hindrance, though, just skews his depth perception a bit.

Alcide has his battles with alcoholism and depression, tied together. He tried to stop for years and thanks to his friends and loved ones made tremendous progress, but relapsed sometimes.

14. What is their worst habit?

For Jens, probably worrying so much. His entire family is causing a mess up there somewhere, so why wouldn’t he worry, but sometimes he feels like an old man getting too worked up by trivialities.

For Ninida it’s refusing to back down because of his stubborn pride. So many things could be solved if he just admitted his defeat, but no, and that’s what got him killed in the end.

Alcide needs to stop drinking, he knows this, but sometimes...

15. Did they ever experience a major personality shift, if so, what triggered it?

Jens deliberately built himself a larger-than-life image during his piracy career to help him lay low when needed, and he was a very confident and boisterous man at the time. Losing Hahen made him lose that aspect of himself, making him revert to laying low full-time.

Nothing major for Ninida, the biggest one was probably admitting he’s not the king of the world when Jens broke him out of the prison. He became more agreeable then.

Alcide has built his personality up during his years, shaping it and having it be shaped by people and happenings around him. Nothing big has happened and changed him.

16. Have they ever spent time questioning their gender identity and sexuality?

Jens has always known he’s a straight dude.

Ninida didn’t pay any attention to it for a long time but gave it a thought when starting to deal with Rowan and Elis and their relationship. Not much of a thought, though, and hasn’t since paid attention to his orientation after conceding that yeah, he likes women. He’s a male, that he was always sure of.

Alcide found out he was bisexual when he was in the brink of adulthood. It was more of a realization than the result of pondering. The Roman assassin headquarters being located in a brothel and his own uncle being attracted to men helped.

17. If they do not have any kind of super natural abilities, what kind of powers would they have? If they do, how would they be different if they did not have those powers?

Jens would just prefer enhanced speed, strength and senses.

Ninida would like those as well, but as well something to make him better at stealth, to match his fighting style of sneaking in, hitting hard and retreating.

Alcide would do with speed and strength, to give him an edge in close combat. Being able to outrun the assassins and leap impossible distances would be welcome too.

18. What events have changed their lives?

Jens surely entered a new stage in life when, after many years of short-lived relationships and hookups, met and fell for Hahen. That meant becoming a husband and eventually becoming a dad, finally settling down. Following that, her death and his retirement are fairly big events in his life as well.

There have been a plethora of big things in Ninida’s life, but the biggest was finding out Vim was alive. That flipped his worldview upside down and kicked off a long-lasting rivalry.

Probably the biggest thing for Alcide was his mother dying and Tommaso taking him under his wing, because that started his molding into a knight and a wholly new section in his life.

19. Are they a lover or a fighter (or both)?

Jens is more of a lover, deep down, especially these days. Earlier he was outwardly more of a fighter.

Ninida is a fighter through and through, he hardly had interest towards romance for the longest time.

Alcide is a fully committed lover and will wine and dine assassins if he’s not paid to kill them at that exact time and the assassin isn’t going to murder him either.

20. Would you like your OCs to meet your friends’ OCs and do you think they’d get along?

Jens would gladly meet others, has done so, and will continue to do so.

I’m pretty sure we both know Ninida would get along at least with a certain someone. He also won’t turn out interesting (and beneficial) business partners and will make contact.

Alcide wouldn’t want anything confusing to happen, but if there was someone from his time, he would most definitely have a meet and greet.
