LITTLE CHARACTER THINGS

Just a fun little character game. Fill in the below categories with 3-5 things that your character can be identified by. Repost & tag away !

TAGGED BY: @reantte (thank you darling ily) TAGGING: @copiesofme, @themechaneer, @morbidgrin, @legendmade, @suresaint, @martyrsaiint + you.

EMOTIONS / FEELINGS:

001. Longing.

002. Grief.

003. Anger.

004. Joy;

005. Emptiness.

GREETINGS:

001. A crooked grin that’s all teeth.

002. The small inclination of her head.

003. With familiarity, a firm hand on the shoulder.

004. With love, the press of lips against jaw; a hand on the hip and a hum.

005. Ahoy.

COLOURS:

001. Red.

002. Green.

003. Gold.

004. Black.

005. Blue. 

SCENTS:

001. Sweat.

002. Rum.

003. Tobacco / marijuana.

004. When bathed, the softest aroma of flowers. Almost musky.

005. Briny seawater.

CLOTHING:

001. Before Nassau: attire fitting of the era. Dresses that itch but fit well, worth more than they should. Befitting of her complaints, colours always pinks or blues. Shoes with heels, gaudy but expensive jewellery.

002. As a barmaid: Flowers in her hair, silk and gifted. Many necklaces, cheap but well loved - sentimentality in the rosary nestled between her breasts. Low cut shirt, asymmetrical skirt with a split up to high thigh; coolness permitting - a simple scarf around her waist (pilfered), a brown corset. Black shoes with a worn, chipped golden buckle.

003. As a pirate: Breeches befitting a well-seasoned sailor, silk flowers and a long, well-loved leather jacket. A higher shirt for better anonymity, buckled shoes; many belts; no make-up.

004. On her deathbed: a simple cotton shirt, soaked with sweat and a pair of trousers. Bandages around her middle. 

OBJECTS:

001. Necklaces bought with her own money, save for one, single rosary.

002. A gifted flintlock pistols with flowers etched and scraped into the wood.

003. The ring that was never truly offered to her, but intended for her hand.

VICES / BAD HABITS:

001. Stubbornness. A fault often blamed on growing up without a mother and raised among men. Too headstrong to make a good-tempered wife no matter how pretty her face is.

002. Survivor’s guilt. Anne never intended to outlive any of her friends. She blames herself for them all, thinking that if things had been done a little differently, they might’ve survived and lived to plunder another day. The biggest one was her son, when she is talking to Edward at the base of the tree, she says: ‘If i’d of stayed in that prison, they’d of taken him from me. But he’d still be alive.’ It is not exclusive to her son.

003. Fierce temper. She has never been known to keep a cool head, and reacts to most things on an emotional level. Some say it’s the curse of the red of her hair, others from her upbringing. Either way, she is to be feared when that temper rears its ugly head.

004. Impulsive. Very much an act now, think later, it’s not until she is faced with the repercussions of her actions that she pauses to think about them. Her instinct, for the better part of her life, has never led her astray.

BODY LANGUAGE:

001. Little understanding tilts of her head. 

002. The guarded rise of shoulders when being told something she doesn’t like.

003. The tuck of a thumb against the crossguard of her cutlass.

004. A proud hold of her head when stubbornness takes hold.

005. The mirroring of body language when in the presence of someone she loves.

AESTHETICS:

001. The sea. Temperamental and unpredictable, always changing from one day to the next.

002. The vastness of open sky. Endless and continuous satisfaction from being able to go where one pleases and be who one pleases.

003. The singing of sailors. The creaking of ropes and the singing of free men and women to pass time.

004. A flush of pink. Soft and delicate. 

005. A well-worn and well-loved cutlass. The sing of steel in the air and the chip away of metal from it.

SONGS / PIECES:

001. a return to compassion.

002. jeff  johnson  /  brian dunning - vows.

003. assassin’s creed iv: black flag ost - all empty inside

004. mod - the parting glass (choral version).

005. sam smith - fire on fire.
