#Character Question

[matcha-bnuuy]

Been thinking about this due to various character runs of mine, how some are more adept healers or casters etc etc.. due to leaning aspects or alteration due to story events, what about you guys? Do they level out or have a permanent lean? 🤔

Edit: LOVING seeing all the wol lore in the tags! So cool! It's all so unique i didnt expect so many different answers but it's a very welcome surprise! So sorry i didn't think to add an 'other' option for more than 1 high aspect but i'm glad the footnotes are being added! It's great to read! Thanks for sharing your wol lore everyone!!! 🥹

Was it ever explained why Haibara goes back to calling Ayumi-chan Yoshida-San? Feel like it’s such a step back in her character :( I’m still on episode 840 but I’ve been confused about it for a while and wonder if I missed something

As far as I recall, the character development was Haibara allowing Ayumi and only Ayumi to call her "Ai-chan", and that part has stuck.

According to the DCW Wiki at least, Haibara has only called Ayumi "Ayumi-chan" twice: once in episode 140 and the other in OVA 11. Both are non-canon instances. So as far as I know, "Yoshida-san" is the way Haibara refers to Ayumi the most throughout the series.

new OC prompt/question blog!

I've been going through the OC prompt tags a lot lately and I've decided I want to give as much as I take.

Please follow this blog for OC questions, prompts and other resources to help you get to know your characters! (and please reblog so my posts can find some writers/artists who love to talk about their characters)

Hewwo! Are you ready for some no-context blorbo posting? Well, you can bet your left buttcheek I've got some blorboisms for you straight outta my rattling noggin and RPs!

A lil' while back, one of the writers in the RP's Meta asked us some background questions about our character(s):

What is the first thing your character does in the morning (or whatever other time they wake up)?

As a child, what did your character want to be growing up (and how did that turn out for them)?

How does your character display affection?

What is an obstacle they're currently facing, a struggle they're dealing with?

How does your character respond to failure?

So, for the two characters I wrote for (Sam Sadler and Lua Devens), here were my long-winded thoughts for these questions:

Both Sam and Lua are fairly early risers, though neither of the two will do very much for a while after waking since their days tend to start on their own time. Sam will naturally wake up around 6:30. He still keeps an alarm set for 6:45, but he's most likely already up for it unless the previous night was a long one. Lua will either get up at 4-something or 7-something - there's really no telling which will happen on what morning. If Lua's up early, he'll usually ease out of bed, head to the bathroom and get ready for the day (Sam jokes that Lua is cold-blooded because he'll hop in the shower and crank the hot water way up, steaming up the whole bathroom and bedroom). After getting ready, Lua will probably slip into light athletic clothing, go downstairs, grab a small breakfast, pocket their keys and phone, and head out for an easy walk in the pre-dawn hours. More often than not he'll be listening to a podcast like Alice Isn't Dead or The Black Tapes, or something similar. If Lua's in for a later morning, then Sam will be the first one awake. He keeps his alarm very quiet, so if it does go off, it won't wake Lua. Sam will kinda just sit in silence for a while, trying to muster the energy to get going. He always keeps a bedside book, so he may pick that up and read it, or scroll his socials for a bit. On these slower, later mornings, the pair will wrap up in a blanket burrito and cuddle for a bit, sometimes talking about little bits and bobs from their lives, or just sleepily snuggling together. Sam makes the bed most mornings - not that Lua doesn't want to, Sam just likes doing it - it's just something about order and tidiness for him, and something in having a routine. Sam will then usually wait while Lua uses the bathroom first. Sam will pick out his outfit for the day and lay it out on the bed, maybe turn on some NPR radio and scroll through some more feeds while Lua gets ready. When they swap places, Sam has a pretty regimented routine and may spend more time just making sure he sticks to it. After Lua dresses themself, he'll probably head downstairs and put some coffee or tea up, grab a bagel, or cereal, or toast, then head out onto the patio and sit and sip their drink while watching the world slowly awaken. Sam will eventually come down all neat and proper and ready to tackle the day. He'll drink some water and grab some cereal or a toaster waffle with Lua before grabbing their keys and driving to the nearest cafe for coffee, tea, or a smoothie. When he gets back, he'll start his day and Lua is probably already starting theirs.

I think Sam really liked the idea of being a race car driver. Didn't matter what kind, he just thought it was really neat. Growing up with a family that indulged in a lot of automotive sports, it was almost a given for him to have some interest. He did try his hand at kart racing at an early age and even got onto some circuits as a teen and young adult, but he found his interests too diverse to stick with just that. Like Sam, Lua also had pretty diverse interests - both were extremely fortunate children and had plenty of opportunities to explore different hobbies, passions, and pastimes. Lua always tossed around the idea of being a writer/novelist or, in a polar opposite turn, a professional soccer player, but he ended up ditching soccer very early on and took up equestrian sports. While he continues to write and ride, he truly enjoys his work with the Bureau now and would likely never give up his line of work.

Both Sam and Lua are affectionate people in their own ways, but both also greatly value their quiet time and space, so they are often more than satisfied just being present with each other. One of Sam's love languages is touch, but they understand that Lua is not always willing to engage with them in that way. Lua likes to buy small things for Sam - Sam will of course reciprocate, but he prefers to do things. Honestly, their presence together is enough for them to be happy. Small kisses on the forehead and cheek, light hand-holding, cuddling in the morning, and the small gestures that happen in the day-to-day minutia are affection enough for the pair.

Lua has struggled with his identity for a very long time. Sam has always understood this to some extent, but only recently began to understand the depth of it. The pair have been working together to help Lua come to terms with his true self both at home and around others. Facing past traumas from abusive relationships, the burden of some of their past cases, dealing with the ignorant antics of some of their family members, and the general weight of coming out has been extremely difficult for Lua, but with Sam by his side, he has been slowly working towards it. Sam is facing different challenges, mostly trying to find a new path for themselves outside of municipal work. Career changes happen all the time, but he's been pretty set on politics for a while. With that chapter closed in his life, he's quickly realizing there's so many things he can possibly do and finds the task of identifying where he wants to go a bit overwhelming.

Lua's responses to failure are interesting; he dislikes failure and will do anything and everything possible to avoid it, even to his own detriment. He's long struggled with self worth and his own perceived value and generally feels that even small failures are monumental setbacks for himself. He's conditioned himself to be an utter perfectionist, working well beyond reasonable means to ensure he never has to face failure, and so when he does, it can often be a spiraling roller coaster ride downwards that severely impacts him. Sam is working through this with him as well, but facing something like this is not easily handled without professional attention. Sam is detail oriented and highly accountable to his work, but he does not face the same type of challenges in life and in work, and is more receptive to the experiences that failure brings. He will feel down about getting something wrong, but he's able to bounce back relatively quickly and get the ball rolling without too much effort. He does get frustrated if he fails multiple times on the same task or challenge, but he's usually able to brush it off and play things off with a smile.

And there we go! My two sweet oc bfs from Lower Duck Pond. It's been a while since I've written actively for them, but they're pretty near and dear to my lil' heart :3

Because why not?

Pick a character(s) of yours(could be an oc, d and d character, self insert, fanfic version of a character, whatever I'm not picky) . They are in an animated show and get a "blow the budget" scene. What is the scene/what are they doing?

‘No,’ I say slowly, toying with the idea even as I answer. Were there times when I would’ve liked a shorter name? Of course – especially when I was younger and learning to write my full name. There was a kid in my class called Bob, and I was jealous that he had it easy.

But, honestly I like my name. I still don’t get how “Sly” comes from it, but I like it.

‘I don’t think I would change it,’ I continue, feeling an odd kind of relief at the realisation.

‘I never really joined,’ Hal admitted with a slight shrug, his fingers dancing around the edge of the cap that he had in his lap. He was careful not to touch the razor’s edges, but needed to reassure himself they were still there. ‘Me and John go way back. The Shelbys were like my family from when I was a kid. There was no joining the Blinders, not really. I was always just kind of one. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.’

Roleplay Question: What is your character like at social parties? Do they hog the limelight? Or do they hog the corners? Do they jump at the chance to meet new people? Or jump at the chance to leave?

[uhmmmsweetie]

What sort of entertainment does you character like?

[dcrewatch]

Since Amuro's VA is rightfully stepping down from pretty much every major role he's doing including Sabo from One Piece (Serves him right, should be in jail for what he did really). How do you think you'll adjust to the new VA when they cast them? I know lots of people complained about Kogoro's VA change, although that was before my entering this fandom so I truly didn't notice that much when watching the episodes.

I think I'll adjust just fine! It took a little getting used to hearing a different voice coming out of Kogoro at the time his voice changed, but I don't think my adjustment period at least was very long.

Honestly though, I kinda think Aoyama should probably kill Amuro off. ._. I don't know how Aoyama feels about the whole situation, but the character is named after the voice actor and I dunno how well it'll sit with the public to be constantly reminded of what the voice actor did every time they see that character.

Theme challenge! 

Your characters encounter a classic horror movie monster! If your story already involves one of these, pick a different monster for this hypothetical. 

What monster do they run into? How do they act? 

You can use this as a character question, a chance to ramble, or a writing prompt. Just have fun!
