#also dw tabby's got you covered on the hunt side

[cityandking]

first of all VERY good meme. second of all: bound, guilt, pain, wound for dai, minah and eniko! (i was gonna say hunt for minah but i know damn well i'm not getting an answer for that one smh)

thanks! :D // not-so-nice oc asks

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

DAI — ok so I believe technically daichi has been in prisons before, but I'm not sure he's actively been imprisoned. he’s definitely been in captive situations—asmeda counts, imo, and then there's the abyss. in both instances, his escape very much depended on the party working together to exit the premises and he absolutely wouldn't have managed without them. while the stay in the abyss itself didn't leave any (physical) scars, he's dealing with the fallout in other (psychological) ways. MINAH — yep! she's been in a cell or two in her time. it's one of those things that comes with the whole petty thievery lifestyle. she's also gotten herself out of them—she's nothing if not resourceful (and self-sufficient—she didn't always have the orchestra around to help her out). most of the scarring she's experienced from those brief periods of imprisonment has been of the emotional and psychological sort, but she also has a scar on her forehead from particularly rough treatment getting her into one of the aforementioned cells. she doesn’t like the reminder. she wears her bangs long. ENIKO — okay so. hm. I don't think eniko has actually been arrested—he's way too good at his job (read: slippery) to get caught by local law enforcement. however. that said. honestly his entire time with sir was a kind of captivity, and it fucked him up royally. even his eventual escape scarred him. the worst part was that he didn't even need locks or bindings—eniko stepped into the cage and stayed there, like a good dog.

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

DAI — mostly he's guilty about failing people. he's also a little guilty about exploding himself in front of everyone and a little more guilty about not feeling a greater degree of guilt for the exploding himself part (it's the in front of everyone he feels the worst about). he's talked about it a little, I guess, but some of his silence on the topic is a way that guilt manifests—he doesn't want to shine a light on it when he's afraid it might hurt people more. that said, he's pretty good at accepting the guilt and moving through it. MINAH — feels guilty for loads of stuff. she handles it badly. she tries to avoid it as much as she can, except for when she stares straight at it and holds it in her hands and lets it hurt, which she does sometimes to make sure she won't forget. ENIKO — guilt is one of the things eniko refuses to feel. it's not useful and it doesn't change anything and so he just. won't have anything to do with it (he's actually pretty good at keeping to this! the thing he's guiltiest about is killing sir, of course, but there's. a lot of other stuff packed into that and he refuses to unpack it.)

pain: What's the worst pain your OC has ever felt? Do they have a high pain tolerance?

DAI — being stabbed definitely sucks. being set on fire is also bad? I'm tempted to say the abyss was the worst though, more for the persistence than where his hurt sat on a 1-10 scale. he has a high pain tolerance MINAH — I'm not really sure. she doesn't get into altercations a lot so she hasn't really had that much of a chance to get hurt (and even when she does, she's hard to hit and quick to shrugs stuff off). overall, she has a sort of middling pain tolerance. she can manage discomfort for quite a while, but when it shifts into actual pain she caves quickly. ENIKO — ha. um. man idk. he wouldn't be able to pick out a single instance. his life is full of pain (or training, or lessons... call it what you will). consequently he has a crazy high pain tolerance and can push through just about anything.

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

DAI — he patches himself up and moves on. perks of being a healer: at any given time he's got like, half a dozen different ways to heal someone on hand. his wounds are also mostly physical—despite evidence to the contrary, he's well-adjusted and -centered mentally and emotionally. the worst wound he's experienced and lived through would probably be getting run through with a sword. the worst wound he's experienced and died from (he got better) would be getting crushed beneath falling rocks in an underwater cave (exploding doesn't count; that's not a wound that's an un-being). MINAH — she can be a bit of a baby about it, but mostly in a playful/joking way—just enough levity to keep it light and distracting. definitely if she were actually hurt she'd go to cian or patch herself up during a rest. truth be told, most of her wounds are in the sort of emotional-psychological realm, and obviously she won't open up about those without some major external force. the worst was probably her dad's death? it definitely left the biggest impression ENIKO — he grits his teeth and keeps moving. he won't let a hurt slow him down if he can help it at all, and he's very good at working through a wound. most of his biggest wounds are definitely psychological. killing sir really tore him apart in ways he hadn't even known to anticipate—it's probably the bloodiest thing in his past, and that's saying a lot.
