oc questions tag game!

ok, trying to be efficient with this lol

from @a-lonely-dunedain:

what is a trait your oc can't stand in other people vs a trait they find themself drawn to

what animal would you associate with your oc? can be for in-character reasons (ie their favorite animal) or a more symbolic reason

what is their biggest regret? was it truly their fault or some unavoidable tragedy? (and can they tell the difference)

from @sweetearthandnorthernsky

does oc have recurring themes in their nightmares? why? are they aware of the 'why'?

if your oc was to overhear their name in a conversation, what would they assume the conversation is about? why? is this assumption accurate?

there's a spider, cockroach, silverfish, or some other nasty bug in your oc's house/room/apartment/etc! how do they deal with it? do they squish it? capture it to release it outside? scream and run for the hills? leave it? something else entirely?

and my own questions, if you're so inclined, for @rlainarin [waves from thalion sideblog] @loremastering @dunadaan

oops! your oc got stuck in a timeloop. how's that going for them? is there a specific circumstance for the loop that would be most interesting?

what does your oc have by way of hobbies? creative hobbies? collector hobbies? hobbies other people think are weird?

plant a garden for your oc. what's in it? (is it practical? mostly for aesthetics? how big is it?)

and some answers!

what is a trait your oc can't stand in other people vs a trait they find themself drawn to

glainyn will get instantly annoyed with anyone acting like they know all or like they think they're the smartest person in the room, that they have all the answers and won't hear a thing anyone else is gonna say. conversely, he gets on pretty well with people who are just. not like that lol, even if they are the smartest person in the room (large factor in why he likes dis so much)

isena is rather drawn to people who project a lot of confidence. sometimes it's fun to see if she can pop their bubble, but sometimes it's just nice to have people around who know what they're doing. she does, however, hate a holier-than-thou attitude and will start a fight over it

what animal would you associate with your oc? can be for in-character reasons (ie their favorite animal) or a more symbolic reason

moths for silmeniel. both by aesthetic and the tendency to watch the light

it feels almost like cheating to say eagle or bear for isedd lol, for loremaster companion reasons mostly. matwyn my beloved. similarly, his cousin deorna + crow, for the random craban matwyn bullied into being deorna's companion

what is their biggest regret? was it truly their fault or some unavoidable tragedy? (and can they tell the difference)

lendrain thinks this should be walking away from the dunedain, but he can't find it in himself to actually regret it all that much, and feels bad about not actually feeling bad about it. the only part of it he actually regrets is not waiting long enough to say goodbye to helegdir

est is. hm. it's a little harder for her to pick a biggest regret i think. she always wishes she could have saved someone. she does really regret never having a proper conversation with grimbold after troubled dreams, though. the whole situation just feels stupid to her- it didn't have to end on that note but it did and she can't do anything about it now

does oc have recurring themes in their nightmares? why? are they aware of the 'why'?

helf trio especially has So much to work with in recurring dreams :D (so do most of the others if you just let them do a questline or two though lol). silear dreams of the deep palace most often- she's never been sure if that experience was real or the product of a too-long fever. post-morgul bladening she dreams of a cold, suffocating fog, though even then it's less common than the place beneath the sea. halthel and silmeniel i don't think have quite as much regularity in theirs, but they've got plenty to choose from

daedin dreams of the death of light- did even before the mirkwood mission that went bad when she was young. it's a little surprising, given how little of her ancestry is exilic noldorin. for a long time it's vague and unclear, but it later takes form from the stories silmeniel tells of the darkening. she has no idea why she dreams of this

if your oc was to overhear their name in a conversation, what would they assume the conversation is about? why? is this assumption accurate?

halthel (late first age): probably people having Opinions on the feanorians again (accurate)

halthel (third age): younger elves with questions about earlier ages (fairly accurate). or people having Opinions on the feanorians again (a bit less accurate)

est: someone has another quest for me (...accurate)

isedd (rohan/post-war): isena got in a fight somewhere (less accurate than he thinks)

isedd (bree/pre-war): bear scared someone again (accurate)

rani: oh fuck did they find out about [insert latest shenanigans here] (mixed accuracy)

there's a spider, cockroach, silverfish, or some other nasty bug in your oc's house/room/apartment/etc! how do they deal with it? do they squish it? capture it to release it outside? scream and run for the hills? leave it? something else entirely?

silear, when she feels like being a bit of a shit: o noooo there's a bug :( silmeniel save me from the evil bug :( halthel do you have your giant fuck-off sword around? there is bug.

daedin, having gone through remmorchant: [smack] [smack] [smack] ....is it still there? [smack]

most of the rest of the crew don't care all That much tbh- too much time spent running around and camping lol. capture and release if it's convenient, shoo away if not, squish if it's gonna cause problems
