#How to be certified forklift driver?

[bumblekastclips]

KYLE CROUSE: We’re back, and we’ve got a question from Sockerkott! “I work as a forklift driver transporting large domestic appliances like Refrigerators, Microwave ovens, Washing machines and dryers. How would various Sonic characters each handle that job?”

IAN FLYNN: Uh, Sonic doesn’t have the patience for that kind of deliberate maneuverability. Tails is fine. In fact, he’ll figure out a way to automate it, if he hasn’t already. KYLE: Yeah. IAN: Amy… I think she’d get a handle on it. She’d be alright. Knuckles? Do not trust him with that, nothing will be intact by the end of it. He’ll just get frustrated with it and pick it up and put it there himself. And Eggman, we already know he’s certified. KYLE: Yes. [reading chat] Silver thinks the forklift is stupid, because he just… [laughs] all he has to do is just think about lifting a thing up, and it goes up! It’s like, “I don’t need that!” IAN:[chuckles at the thought, then smugly, as Silver] “Oh, you need a machine to lift things! How quaint.” KYLE: [still laughing] Yeah, pretty much! IAN: He’s like, flexing as everything flies into place. [as Silver] “That one goes over there, and that one goes over there… oooh, done in record time!” KYLE: Yes! Yeah, pretty much! [laughing] IAN: Careful, Silver, you’re starting to sound like Randy Savage, there. KYLE: T-Tang— [laughs] Yeah! Tangle’s trying to use, uh, her tail to stabilize something on the forklift. [losing composure laughing at the thought] It’s not working! Oh no! IAN: [as Silver] “No, guys, guys, guys, she can totally lift it all the way to the top! She just needs to stabilize it a little bit! Trust me! This’ll— she can put stuff even higher! You’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see! Oop…” KYLE: And there goes. [chuckles] Oh, boy. IAN: But don’t worry, Silver catches it as it falls over. KYLE: Of course. IAN: [smugly, as Silver] “Oops! Did you drop something? Don’t worry… I caught it.” KYLE: [laughing] Pretty much! … Oh, darn, it could’ve dropped on Starline! What the heck?! [both laugh] IAN: [as Starline] “I wasn’t even doing anything evil this time! Come on, now!” KYLE: Starline, you’re always doing something evil! IAN: [as Starline] “True, true.” KYLE: [laughing] After all, a forklift is an efficient way of killing. Forklift simulator… guess I’ll see you later! —– TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: Please remember that nothing that is said on BumbleKast is canon! It’s just some guys and their opinions occasionally spitballing ideas. If you don’t like an answer, you don’t have to take it as Word of God or anything like that. It’s all just for fun!

Omi gets easily distracted while driving and Kimiko experiences terrible road rage, so neither of them are allowed behind the wheel anymore

Clay is technically the best driver on the team, and he's even forklift certified and used to driving things like tractors. He doesn't like the feel of most motorized vehicles though, and vastly prefers the feel of riding something alive like a horse or a dragon, or at least animal-like, like the crouching cougar

Plus, Clay drives responsibly and slowly, in a way that Kimiko and Rai have compared to how an old lady would drive, and in a way that's not really suited for high-speed chases missions often demand

And thus, the monk's usual designated driver is Raimundo by default

...That is, whenever it's not Dojo, the licensed pilot

[yellowocaballero]

how do you feel about book binds of your fic?

i definitely trust you with forklifts infact you are certified in all commercial vehicles. to me

I'm also licensed to drive many commercial vehicles in the state of [STATE]. I've never taken a driver's test. I can't drive.

And I feel very positively about bookbinds! @bobafett did an amazing bind of one of my Star Wars fics (Brag, man!), and I love holding it in my hands. I felt like an EU writer. If you do it, just be sure to send me progress pics! (And like credit me and DO NOT SELL IT and etc etc).

🚗💤🐷💛🥯🤩 for aleksi <3

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

He can drive + has a license, I like to imagine he got it pretty young, maybe around 17 :] he always liked to imagine one day he’d get in his car and just drive as far away from Bright Falls as possible. That never happened.

I don’t think he can operate anything other than a car tbh. It’d be funny if he was forklift certified idk when that would happen but I can see it

💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

Light sleeper. His sleep could be a lot better, to be honest. He doesn’t sleep as often as he should, and when he does, he’s easy to wake. He tends to be on guard a lot, even when he doesn’t need to be. Force of habit. When he’s out hunting for Taken in Cauldron Lake, he doesn’t sleep. If he does, he makes sure it’s during daylight hours.

🐷 PIG FACE — what is your oc's favorite animal?

He’s a dog guy I think…… but more specifically I can see him really liking wolves :] follows a bunch of wolf conservation accounts on social media. This definitely extends back to his childhood too I think. I just know he had a shelf of wolf plushies

💛 YELLOW HEART — how many languages does your oc speak? what language(s) are they learning, if any?

English and Finnish! He’s fluent in both, but he would consider english to be his first language. He’s always been interested in learning ASL, too.

🥯 BAGEL — what does your oc's typical breakfast look like? do they usually eat breakfast?

Cigarette and coffee <3 but for real, he’s not much of a breakfast person. His breakfasts, when he has them, are quick and low effort.

🤩 FACE WITH STARRY EYES — is your oc a planner, or are they more spontaneous in their actions?

A bit of both? He won't say no to a plan if someone has something laid out, and he appreciates structure where he can find it, but most of what he does is simply going with the flow.

[lakemichigans]

how funny would it be if i got forklift certified before i got my drivers license

[0ryza13]

No, actually, putting this on main bc I want to see if anyone weighs in.

Friend is so vehemently anti-car that when we found out that another friend's new job needed him to get a drivers license before he could get forklift certified, he started debating me in the groupchat about how thats a stupid requirement and forklifts are nowhere near as dangerous as cars and this was a sign of a crumbling society, and for me to be saying that given how 99% of adults looking to get forklift certified probably already HAVE their license, this seems like a relatively reasonable requirement, clearly I must have been carpilled and poisoned by society.

Like my brother in christ, I hate cars too, it's been half an hour, and you're now talking about how cars are more dangerous than forklifts like that actually has any bearing on "whether it's reasonable to ask to see proof that someone can handle the most common type of heavy machinery before training them on a specialty type of heavy machinery".

I'm admin of the discord so I just deleted the whole damned thing and told everyone shows over go home, but god. That guy needs therapy for more issues than one, but I think we might have to add "irrational hatred of cars" to the list.

To be clear, I also think cars are a scourge of society and we need more walkable cities and public transport to the extent that cars become a "special trip out of town" or "moving a bunch of stuff" item, but i swear he's dogwhistled on the idea that in his eyes, anytime someone uses a car they're like, actively contributing to the fall of democracy or something.

I love my friends but I am so done for the day.

[jessmalia]

You don’t know how to drive

True! I am completely uninterested in getting a driver's license at the moment. But I am certified to drive a forklift (not on roads tho lol)!

anonymously make an assumption about me and i'll confirm/deny it

[ruvviks]

bonezzz my ffriend!!! i'm struggling to tell which of the oc asks you haven't answered for nathan yet, so could u pick the ones you're burning to answer and answer them for me? :D (also good luck with your shift!!! i hope it goes well)

nathan asks!

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

nathan has a driver's license and he is very good at driving too! but also he is insane on the road and he has very little to live for so if you cut him off in traffic or bother him in any way he can and will kill you both. he will get in a car crash just to prove a point if his buttons have been pushed too much

he's technically also forklift certified since he had to do the training to be allowed to work in mobius' warehouses :]

📚 BOOKS — what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

nathan dropped out of high school after killing his parents at age 16 and was dragged into mobius instead, leaving him without a high school diploma. this however doesn't mean much since he did continue learning and teaching himself many things after dropping out, including many coding languages, and a lot more math, science, physics, and biology. all of this was necessary for him to eventually become lead developer of mobius' improved STEM device

🐈 CAT — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

for the longest time, nathan didn't really think he had any friends, not seeing himself as worthy enough and thinking people generally disliked him. nowadays he's a lot more aware that people do in fact like him and his company and he's allowing people in more, but still prefers to have only a select few friends; he needs to be able to trust people which is very difficult for him to begin with, so warming up to others takes very long for him and to be able to call someone his friend is a very very big step for him

💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

nathan generally prefers being inside but specifically just his apartment. the outside world is often too overwhelming for him and he hates having to expose himself to it; but at the same time he really likes being out with friends, visiting their places, going out for food, hanging out in the park, etc etc. it's difficult for him to push himself far enough to do all those things, but he generally feels a lot better having done that than staying at home all day

💙 BLUE HEART — does your oc have any cool/special powers and/or abilities? how are they with magic, if it exists in their world?

so as established in the games, certain individuals are able to control and manipulate the environment within a STEM environment (if you're not familar with the games it's essentially a sort of dream-like experience with minds of people linked together; a multiplayer dream within someone's mind if you will). it's essentially corruption of the technology allowing these people to gain special powers; but it doesn't happen to everyone, since the natural erosion process of the mind mostly just turns people into zombie-like creatures in there

nathan is one of the people to get special abilities from it however, but he is VERY good at masking it and generally doesn't use these powers because he doesn't want to let himself turn into a monster like what STEM did to ruvik, or stefano, or theodore, or myra. if he WERE to use his powers more however, they would mostly give him super strength and the ability to teleport forward in short bursts. he wouldn't turn into some sort of super monster like how myra turns into the matriarch in tew2 (google it, the design is AMAZING) but instead would remain very close to how he is in combat when he IS in control of himself, but he's just a lot more insane about it, which is very close to his fear of himself becoming a mindless killing machine in real life as well because of spiraling too much

💭 🚗 🎶❤️🤍 — for my beautiful ice queen Lottie

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

she’s an isfj-a— a classic assertive defender of her friends and her family. and her enneagram— she’s a type 8.

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

lottie forklift certified queen? no jk she has a license but no car, so for a while it’s skateboarding and biking where she needs to go.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

she tends to gravitate towards folk rock, cs contrary to popular belief she likes feeling calm. she just doesn’t ever of her own volition. she needs a little help let her live

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

unyielding loyalty. dependability. assertiveness.

🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?

she does not care abt what you think and will make sure that you will hear what she thinks you need to hear, regardless of how it’s gonna make you feel. will not back down from a fight. emotionally distant, but she will tell u she’s just protecting her peace. which isn’t necessarily… wrong.

BLUE OMG THANK YOU !! YOU SENT SO MANY ILYSM 💕💕 This is gonna be a mixed bag of oc responses, tried to limit it to one oc per question!

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

Surprisingly, the only oc of mine to not know how to drive is Hunter. With how he grew up, it just wasn't necessary for him to learn! The rest of them aren't licensed in any other machinery. Though in my heart Emil is forklift certified

✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person?

June is a homebody to the fullest extent of the word. Living in a town full of tourist traps, she gets turned off from advertisements telling her to go to similar locations.

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies?

Carolyn's favorite hobbies include: Fishing, gardening, and writing poetry! She's a lot more shy about her writing compared to her other hobbies though!

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

Emil has had a couple of tattoos done! One is a small stick n poke from his teens, a very cliche broken heart on his left wrist. The other one was actually done in a tattoo parlor; a green 1-up mushroom from the Mario franchise on the right side of his chest

📚 BOOKS — what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

Whereas Maggie and Hunter couldn't finish college, Carolyn and June are the ones with degrees.

Carolyn has a bachelor's degree in fine arts and June has a DNP, which is a doctorate that would allow her to practice nursing!

🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?

When Maggie was younger, she used to play the acoustic guitar as a hobby. Very intermediate player. Though as she grew up, she eventually stopped practicing and abandoned the instrument altogether. If she went up to the attic to retrieve it, she could probably only play a scale and that's it.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

I actually have a post going deep into this for the majority of my ocs!! [Link here]

But since she's not in that post, June's favorite bands include Fleetwood Mac and Florence and the Machine!! I can totally see her loving a more alternative pop-rocky sound.

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Carolyn is scared of heights, loves sci-fi movies, and she's a vegetarian!

🔱 TRIDENT EMBLEM — can your oc swim? do they enjoy swimming?

No brainer, but Hunter adores swimming. He played in competitively throughout highschool and college!

🔺 RED TRIANGLE POINTED UP — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

Oh just about all of them know how to use a weapon (with the exception of Carolyn. She's more of a pepper spray and run kind of girl). Though if we want any specifics on their preferred weapon: Maggie has a baseball bat, Emil uses his grandfather's pocket knife, Hunter uses a pair of scissors, and June keeps a shotgun and an axe in her home.

🚫 PROHIBITED — does your oc drink/smoke? do they do it regularly, or is it more on occasion or for special events?

Maggie has been a chainsmoker since she was 13/14. A bad habit her mother instilled in her. Although she's loosened up over the years, she tends to have a cigarette when she's feeling nervous.

😖 CONFOUNDED FACE — is your oc an introvert, an extrovert, or an ambivert? do they let people in easily, or are they more reserved?

Carolyn, Emil, June: Introverts

Maggie: Ambivert

Hunter: Extrovert

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

Emil has his hands in his pockets at all times. Loves to fiddle and play with the loose change in his pockets, sometimes when he's bored he likes to fidget with his pocket knife.

😥 SAD BUT RELIEVED FACE — is your oc prone to getting stressed out, or is it easy for them to keep their cool?

Oh June and Maggie can be the worst when dealing with stress. Magnolia tends to just break down and cry, where June is explosive and snappy at times.

😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?

Oh a trait all of my ocs tend to share is how stubborn they can all be! Though I gotta say, Emil is the worst case.

[tricos-here]

🚗 ✈️❤️💔🔶 for Zersior my beloved?👀 can be both canon and modern au

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

Gw2 canon not entirely sure you need any license.. but he does know how to ride and handle the typical raptor and jackal-esque mounts, he's not touching that flying shit. He's likely been in a tank a couple of times as well and if it ever came down to it he could figure out how to drive it on the fly but again, not touching that flying shit (airships)

Modern AU he does have a driver's license and knows how to both drive a car and a bike, he has a beat-up car he bought from a used yard but it's well taken care of. With all the odd jobs he takes on he knows how operate other machinery as well like forklifts and so on but that doesn't mean he has a license (tfw your cringe fail boyfriend isn't forklift certified)

✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person?

He's definitely more of the traveling type, not necessarily because he likes traveling but he's just always on the go and he's accommodating enough that he can temporarily settle anywhere. Both in gw2 canon and modern au he has a little apartment which he goes back to often enough but y'know. Given the chance he could be pretty homey but especially in canon... world to save, necromancers with no self preservation to bodyguard.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

I'm always so bad with thesefhsklskdf traits are just a soup of personality I don't know, but uhm. Despite his typical mercenary persona he is very kind and generous and will go out it his way to make people feel at ease

💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?

He does tend to be... somewhat disingenuous, he's pleasant sure but that doesn't mean he's always expressing how he feels 🌚 typical jokester keeping all that shit close to his chest

He also tends to be really stubborn, if he puts his mind to something he's going to see it through, even to his own determent.

And third uuuuh does killing people count?

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

He does know cpr! He has at least a basic knowledge of emergency procedures to at least stabilize someone until an actual healer comes about and again, has a basic knowledge of patching someone up, he definitely wouldn't call himself a healer (though he's been getting that practice in with Siyvhe smh)

How Fast Can a Warehouse Staffing Agencies Provide Workers?

In this day and age of rapid pace and stiff competition, time is a critical commodity. Warehouses and distribution centers must run like clocks to facilitate on-time delivery and hassle-free inventory management. One of the largest challenges these operations encounter is acquiring dependable personnel—quickly. That's where warehouse staffing agencies come in to rescue the situation.

These specialist staffing companies provide a lifeline to companies requiring experienced warehouse staff at short notice. But how quickly can a warehouse staffing agency supply workers? Let's delve into the response, and look at why more businesses are using these agencies to staff up quickly.

The Role of Warehouse Staffing Agencies

Warehouse staffing agencies are agencies that specialize in hiring, screening, and installing warehouse personnel across various categories of jobs. They can hire from general laborer to forklift driver to inventory expert to warehouse manager.

In contrast to traditional hiring practices that may take several weeks or months, warehouse staffing companies are designed to move at light speed. Their objective is to introduce employers to pre-screened, qualified job applicants quickly within a short period of time—sometimes as little as 24 to 72 hours.

Why Speed Matters in Warehouse Staffing

Warehouse operations tend to experience variable demands. Whether it is seasonal peaks, bulk shipments, or sudden absences, having a flexible workforce at your disposal can make or break your delivery schedules.

Some of the typical situations where time is critical are:

Holiday periods with heightened consumer demand

Sudden resignations or absenteeism

Emergency inventory restocking

Special projects involving temporary personnel

In all these scenarios, the capacity of a warehouse staffing agency to offer quick solutions is key to ensuring continuity in workflow.

Aspects Affecting Speed of Staffing

Although the majority of warehouse staffing agencies strive to supply employees with speed, there are a number of factors that can influence how quickly they will fill the job:

1. Availability of Pre-Screened Talent Pool

Top staffing firms have an aggressive database of screened talent who are prepared to be sent out. If the agency has a talent pool ready to go, they are usually able to send workers within 24 to 48 hours.

2. Type of Position

General warehouse laborer positions are simpler to fill quickly than specialized positions such as certified forklift operators or inventory analysts.

3. Geographic Location

Speed of staffing can depend on the regional labor market. Urban areas typically have a more extensive pool of potential workers than rural areas.

4. Shift Requirements

Day shifts are normally easier to fill than night shifts or weekend work. Agencies take a little more time to recruit candidates who would be willing to work nonconventional hours.

5. Client Readiness

The pace of placement also relies on how fast the employer can complete job details and interview schedules. Open communication and specific job descriptions can speed up the process.

Average Staffing Timelines

From industry norms and input from top warehouse staffing firms, below are average turnaround times:

Same-Day Staffing: For high-priority, high-volume requirements, some firms are able to provide temporary staff in a matter of hours if the request is made early in the day.

24 to 48 Hours: For general positions such as pickers, packers, and loaders, the majority of agencies can provide solutions within this time frame.

3 to 5 Business Days: For highly specialized job types or mass staffing, the time period can be extended slightly.

1 to 2 Weeks: For permanent placements or highly niche job types.

Remember, these are averages and can fluctuate depending on the agency's network, technology stack, and internal workflows.

How Warehouse Staffing Agencies Deliver Speed and Quality

Speed alone is not sufficient if the quality of hire is sacrificed. That's why reputable warehouse staffing agencies make investments in:

a. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

ATS enable recruiters to screen and sort candidates rapidly through skills, experience, and availability.

b. Skill Assessments and Background Checks

Candidates are commonly tested and background-checked in advance so they are job-ready.

c. Onboarding and Orientation

Most agencies provide orientation and safety training prior to sending workers to job locations, minimizing employers' downtime.

d. Mobile Apps for Quicker Communication

A few sophisticated agencies utilize mobile apps to match jobs with ready workers instantly.

Benefits of Hiring Warehouse Staffing Agencies for Quick Hiring

Here's why warehouse staffing agencies are a top choice for quick staffing requirements:

Less Hiring Time: Having access to a pool of ready talent cuts the time-to-hire.

Lower Risk: Temporary or temp-to-hire employees can be hired, allowing companies time to assess performance.

Flexibility: Temps can be hired in small numbers or as bulk additions, as needed by your organization.

Cost Savings: Relieves HR departments of the time and expense of advertising, screening, and interviewing.

What You Can Do to Speed Things Up

To assist the agency in moving even more quickly, employers can:

Supply detailed job postings with shift hours, skills needed, and physical requirements.

Reply quickly to candidate resumes and agency messages.

Welcome flexible work options, providing opportunities for part-time or temp-to-perm positions.

Pay competitive salaries to hire speedily.

Final Thoughts

When there's a need for speed, staffing agencies in warehouses are your greatest friends. The overall pace may differ, but leading agencies usually have the qualified people in hand in 24 to 72 hours. Through their talent pools, technology, and business know-how, you're able to maintain your warehouse function efficiently without losing productivity.

If you're consistently finding it hard to achieve staffing deadlines, then perhaps the time has come to enter a long-term partnership with a reliable warehouse staffing agency. Speed is only worth it, after all, when accompanied by reliability—and that's what such agencies are designed to provide.

🚗 🔺💘🍝 🤒 for monroe and avery c:

For Monroe:

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

monroe got his license as soon as he could, when he was around 17, with encouragement and help from his older brother. his first car was something really dinky and kind of shitty, but it was cheap and it was his, and he loved it. it was unfortunately a causality of RC. I can honestly see him being forklift certified LMAO mainly because I think its funny but also he's had a LOT of jobs over the years

🔺 RED TRIANGLE POINTED UP — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

he's had basic firearm training thanks to chris, after they reunited post RC incident, and he's also taken himself to the gun range a good few times, to keep himself sharp, just incase. he's not awful with a gun, but he hates using them. when RC happened, his main weapon of choice was a pipe, which thankfully, didn't require much training to use.

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

it's taken him a long time to realise this, but the most important thing to him is the life he has now. the freedom and relative safety and happiness. recently, he's felt like he's taken his life for granted, so he's been trying to be more grateful for all he has now that he thought he never would have. the most important person to him in the world is Merel, without a doubt. he would do anything for her, and he would go through it all again in the blink of an eye.

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

he likes fast food. its his kryptonite. it's mostly habit — he's spent a lot of time depressed and not taking the best care of himself, and fast food is the easiest way to keep himself fed. the thing is, he's a pretty decent cook and an even better baker, but he doesn't often have the energy to make big, homemade meals.

🤒 FACE WITH THERMOMETER — does your oc get sick easily?

no more than the regular person, I wouldn't say. I imagine being an avid drinker for 20 years hasn't been great for his health, but thankfully, he's not prone to bouts of sickness.

For Avery:

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

they don't officially have a license, given they're not a 'real' person, but they can drive. it's been ages since i played book 2 as them, but i think they have a motorbike too?? i need to brush up

🔺 RED TRIANGLE POINTED UP — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

yes, multiple. guns and knives is what they were trained with at the farm, and what they used the most often when on missions for them. funnily enough, their aim with guns is not great, which is why they relied so much on their telepathy to read surface thoughts and intentions in hand to hand combat while as sidestep. their new suit (if you count it as one) is without a doubt their favorite weapon they've ever used.

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

their life and freedom. free will. body autonomy. everything the farm deprived them of. Julia is the most important person in the world to them, but dont tell her that.

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

they have SUCH a sweet tooth.... sweet vice steps rise up!! they love a good doughnut more than anything else.

🤒 FACE WITH THERMOMETER — does your oc get sick easily?

Avery has a really strong immune system. they've only gotten ill less than a handful of times in their life. they cope with being sick really badly though lmfao they hate it

Filled out that one OC ask thing for Mica for fun:

𝐎𝐁𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒.

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

Unsure of the actual MBTI personality stuff, but Mica is more introverted than extroverted. She can handle being in a room with a bunch of people and can interact with them if need be, and isn’t afraid of talking first or talking loud. She’s not shy at all. But given the chance, she’d much rather keep to herself.

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

She knows how to drive, but all her drivers licenses are fake. She also knows how to drive a motorcycle. Could possibly be forklift certified if you gave her a week to read up on it.

✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person?

Mica doesn’t have an opinion on traveling since it comes with being a hunter. Traveling to different dimensions is another story; she fucking hates it. 

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies?

Playing video games, scrapbooking, pool. All great ways to unwind.

💍 RING — does your oc have any piercings? do they want any (more) piercings?

No and she doesn’t want any.

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

She used to have an anti-possession tattoo but it got burned off. She might want a new one later on, post-possession, but she really doesn’t see the point in getting tattoos considering how scarred her body is.

📚 BOOKS — what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

Mica never really went to high school, she has a middle school education at best. That doesn’t mean she’s not smart - she does in fact read and is actually good at history and languages. Science was never her strong suit and advanced math is something she’s never going to grasp. She may never try to attempt any sort of schooling, she’s content knowing what she knows. 

🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?

She sings, and rarely at that. She doesn’t know how to work any instrument.

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

Mentally, a lot. Insomnia and PTSD, to name just two. Physically, post-possession she starts developing rapid nerve degeneration due to all the damage her body has suffered throughout her life. While angel magic slows it down, she goes from walking with a cane to a walker to using a wheelchair to being bed-bound over the next 20-30 years.

🩸 DROP OF BLOOD — what is your oc's blood type?

Mica finds out that she’s B+ post-possession! 

𝐒𝐘𝐌𝐁𝐎𝐋𝐒.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

Mica’s pretty into grunge/alt-rock but does find joy in other music types as well. Her favorite bands/artists are Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Skillet, Halsey, Hozier, and Lady Gaga

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

She’ll never say this out loud but she’s very self conscious about all of her scars. It’s why she doesn’t wear revealing clothes; she’s only recently started wearing short sleeves around the house and outside.

Mica loves animals, especially horses. If she’d been allowed to be a normal kid, she would’ve been a horse girl, and likely would have pursued some sort of occupation where she got to interact with them daily.

She was going to be an older sister. 

💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

Light sleeper, once she’s actually gotten to sleep. Very bad sleeping habits thanks to the insomnia.

🔱 TRIDENT EMBLEM — can your oc swim? do they enjoy swimming?

Cannot swim, is never gonna learn.

🔺 RED TRIANGLE POINTED UP — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

She can probably figure out how to use any weapon. She prefers her to scythe to even her guns.

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

Mica knows cpr and the basics of dealing with cuts and bullet wounds. Anything more than that and she can’t help you. 

🚫 PROHIBITED — does your oc drink/smoke? do they do it regularly, or is it more on occasion or for special events?

Drinks, but does so less now that there’s kids in the house. Stops completely post-possession. Never smoked and never will, thinks it’s gross.

𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄.

🌈 RAINBOW — what is your oc's sexual orientation/gender identity? what pronouns do they use?

She’s a lesbian, asexual but not sex-repulsed. Actually enjoys having sex because she likes pleasuring her partners. Goes by she/her but also can go by they/them. Post-possession continues to slip and use “we” and “us” when referring to herself 

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your oc's favorite holiday?

Never really celebrated anything until her family formed. Now just tolerates everything for the sake of the kids. 

🐶 DOG FACE — does your oc have any pets?

Mica has a mutt named Ghost! 

🐈 CAT — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

A few close friends, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a wide circle. It was an accident. 

🐷 PIG FACE — what is your oc's favorite animal?

Horses

🐉 DRAGON — what is your oc's favorite mythical creature?

Unicorns. Don’t tell anyone.

Never paid attention in school. Her favorite subject in general is history, though.

🌴 PALM TREE — does your oc have a green thumb? do they enjoy gardening?

She’s never taken up gardening, probably never will. Not what she’s interested in.

🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?

Mica was born in Texas but raised in Utah. She still lives in Utah and doesn’t ever plan on moving. She’s only been to Texas once since her parents died and isn’t keen on going back again.
