OC Questions: Storm Dancer

@starrypawz posted this, and it’s too damn good for me to pass up. BECAUSE IT’S LOOOOONG, IT’S UNDER ZEE CUT

On a scale of “is occasionally forced to bathe” to “Instagram model with sponsors to hoe for” how involved is your OC’s Skincare routine?

-She keeps herself clean, but becoming Eorzea’s Next Top Model is about as high on her list of priorities as shooting for Emperor of Garlemald. AIN’T HAPPENING.

What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way?

-SPICY SPICY FEED HER SPICY SHE FUCKING LOVES IT. She’s a 7′3″ brick wall of Hellsguard who leads a very active lifestyle, trust me, give her All The Food and let her roll. She burns through calories like nobody’s business (especially in the Warrior of Light verse).

What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC?

-FUCK. ISHGARDIAN. HIGH HOUSE. POLITICS. WITH A RUSTY JACKHAMMER. AND FUCK GRIDANIA TOO WHILE YOU’RE AT IT. (Her family was from the outskirts of Ala Mhigo. She gets a pass, okay? Kann-e Senna lovers DO NOT INTERACT)

What’s your OC’s response to being asked for money by a homeless person?

-Screw just giving them money, she’d get them some nice warm clothes, blankets, and take them to dinner so she can find out exactly what they need and help them out.

Does your OC get lost easily? What do they do when they do get lost?

-Not very easily, but when she does, she looks for her own trail again (and if she gets caught in a sandstorm or blizzard or some such, she finds shelter and PARKS IT until the storm passes).

What would STOP your OC from Doing The Right Thing in a tense situation?

-Someone hurting her family/friends/allies. If the enemy throws the first punch, she’s so beyond done playing nice.

Realistically, could your OC (in their normal circumstances- i.e. at their own house/battlecamp/spaceship etc.) keep a small child alive for a week if they had to?  A Dog?  A Houseplant? A rock with a  smiley face painted on?

-Absofuckinglutely.

If your OC had to take the S.A.T. tomorrow with one night to prep, how would they do?  both emotionally and academically.

-”Fuck you, fuck this, fuck everything.” -sets it on fire and walks away-

What would cause your OC to chose to do something petty/pointlessly cruel?

-Petty? Oh, if anyone shoots their mouths off about war refugees. Pointlessly cruel? I’m not sure she’s capable of that.

On a scale of “Complete and Justified nervous breakdown” to “Conquer The Entire Galaxy and become an Immortal God-Emperor”, how well would your OC handle being abducted by Aliens?

-”Oh no you don’t, there’re people back home that need me, so either you come back and lend a hand, or--oh, you need my help? Fine, listen here, you want my help, you help me.”

What song is 100% guaranteed to get your OC beyond turnt and will be sung loudly and embarrassingly, either in public or the shower?

-...look listen whoever brought the Baby Shark song to Storm’s attention is directly responsible for this damn mess.

What perfectly-normal-to-them-thing does your OC do that confuses/pisses off/terrifies their neighbors?

-SHAMELESSLY VAULTS OFF ANY AND EVERY HIGH SURFACE BECAUSE DRAGOON, BITCH

Under what circumstances would your OC appear naked in public?

-dear sweet zombie jesus how much booze did she have this Heavensturn

What thing did your OC’s parents do that your OC wishes they had a better explanation for?

-Storm has no idea why the hell her dad insists on calling himself Old Man but here we are.

How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been?

-She’s gotten clonked a few times when the Echo hits, but that was when she was younger.

How strong or weak is your OC’s Impulse control? What’s the worst thing that happened because of their Impulsivity or inability to be so?

-WoL Storm basically adopted all of the core Scions as well as Arenvald (and yes, that includes the Levilleur twins, no it doesn’t include Papalymo because he’s Storm’s age), so you friggin’ tell me. RP Storm has a tendency to adopt every stray she finds. I SEE NO DIFFERENCE. Honestly the worst thing is like, someone like Thancred arguing that he’s only ten years younger than she is so she’s not allowed to be his mother, to which she calmly says the next time he sasses her he’s grounded.

How does your OC sabotage themselves?

-Storm refuses to admit she needs help until she’s literally on the ground unable to move.

What’s the trashiest item in your OC’s wardrobe, when was the last time they wore it and why do they still have it?

-a really hideously ugly oh my god why does this exist and who got the knitter that damn drunk Starlight sweater. She still has it because everyone’s reactions to it add years to her life, okay?

How Dehydrated is your OC right now? Are they going to fix this?

-Storm just stares you dead in the eye as she downs a glass of whiskey and chases it with a massive mug of coffee.

What’s your OC smell like?  no, not that “Vanilla and Anxiety” evocative stuff, realistically.  Body odor? what have they been touching all day? When was their last shower? Did they put on any kind of artificial scent?

-She usually smells pretty clean unless she’s been fighting or working hard. As soon as she’s able, she takes a shower or a bath. If her gear is dirty, she cleans it inside and out. Probably the grossest items she has are her boots and gloves, though she does her best to keep the insides from getting narsty. Usually Storm smells a bit like good leather and maybe a hint of good whiskey and coffee. (Hey, just because she doesn’t want to be a model, that doesn’t mean she’s going to wallow in offal and gunk.)
