"Do you smoke, commander?" Ulrik shook his head slowly. "I too have my vices, but this is not one of them." "And what are they?" Joris asked on a casual tone while opening a beautiful box on his desk, next to an elegant metal clock. He drew a cigar from it. "Coffee and horses," Ulrik answered on the same tone. "No doubt."

the ghost

death is not the end for everyone. it certainly was not the end for you. something within you tethers you here, like a heavy chain, and keeps you from well-deserved rest. love, rage, hunger, fear– do you even remember what it was? you wander here, awake, and your body lies below, asleep. maybe someone will find your disturbed grave and grant you a proper ending.

the ancient evil

they have wronged you. perhaps, once, you were something powerful– something to be looked at with adoration and worship and fear. but time does not yield to you, and when you lay to sleep, you awake to find yourself forgotten. your rage is insatiable. no matter what, you will make sure they do not forget this time.

the haunted house

decrepit and falling apart at the seams; time has not been kind to you, has it? termites have nestled in your bones, and stray cats find comfort in your sinews. you may be victim to time and erosion, but your abandoned corpse remains a refuge for unwanted things. vermin and ghosts thank you. what greater kindness can there be than offering shelter?

the lover

love has brought you to this place, and it will not let you leave. fear clutches you, constricts you, and it will have you killed– and yet, it is still no match for the bounty of your heart. you will try as hard as you can to protect the object of your affections. evil is nothing in the face of your warmth. even if you are successful in protecting your lover, that does not guarantee your own survival. your heart has doomed you, but what greater death is there than dying for love?

🔍 for Ulrik. Yes it’s just for the emoji. Just answer.

Oh wow... 🤣 I'm torn, though.

🔍  - An Acquaintance

"Not sure acquaintance is quite the word for it but, I had lunch in a very nice place with one of my most valuable informants. You'll understand I can't tell you where it was, yes? I don't exactly want you to work out who that informant might be. I need them all alive and thriving."

Let’s get to know everyone a little bit better.

Bonus points if there are illustrations or quotes to justify your answers. ✨

Wow, thank you Anon! (I mean... "Anon"... 👀) You really want to read all this?!

8. Who has the worst luck?

Zak, maybe. He's adamant in staying out of trouble, but trouble keeps on finding him!

13. Do/Did any of your characters have large ears they had to grow into as a kid?

Ulrik... Nah, they're still big. 🤡 So, it would be Altair!

14. Are any of your characters nonverbal?

Ash probably, and Juliva.

21. Do any of your characters have heterochromia?

Ash! She's my only character whith heterochromia, and it wasn't even intended at first. But, writing her background story and the part where she's gravely wounded during a hunting accident changed one of her natural green eyes to a blue-ish hue.

22. Do any of your characters have someone named after them? Or are they named after someone else?

Altair isn't the only "Altair" branch in his very extensive family tree, and also Mereel (one of the kids rescued by the Mandos on Aq Vetina in "The Foundlings") has obviously been named after Mand'alore Jaster Mereel.

29. Are any of your characters nameless? (In that there is no legal record of them existing, they just don’t have names in canon, or history remembers them but not their name?)

... Not one that I talked about here, but he's only known as "Sarge".

32. Do you have any characters who are twins?

Yep! Jo and Josh, Merry's cousins. And Guten and Borg, Ash's adoptive brothers (she's the adopted one).

37. Did any of your characters have a fever they almost died from as a child?

Ash again! After the hunting accident, she almost died while being treated because of said fever. Luckily, Walter and the Crone were good at healing people... 😰

44. Are any of your characters overshadowed by other siblings? Or have parents who clearly have a favorite? (ex: Boromir and Faramir)

Vivian, by her baby sister. She loved her, but so did her parents and she felt left aside. And sadly, she didn't imagine it even though she might have exaggerated it all in her child's mind...

48. Are any of your characters apprentices?

Ash was, Zak too... And Elara, somewhat. But also the main character of a fantasy story with dragons I wrote long time ago.

50. Are any of your characters Good Dads ™?

Neal, even though he isn't around as much as he should, but Korben too. I think Din's biological father (and mother!!) was exactly what Canderous would praise against stupid Dantooine farmers whinging about not knowing what to do to protect and save their children, and Korben made a point for Din to remember them and their courage daily. Korben had a son and a foundling before Din, so he knew already what loss and pain could do to a child and how to handle it... even though after his son and foundling left the covert, he wasn't too eager to take another under his care. Until he saw that silent kid mesmerized by the controls of his ship... 😊

68. Are any of your characters intimidatingly beautiful?

Personally, I'd say Juliva and Litti (because Ana Torv and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are just gorgeous 😍). But none has been written to be seen or recognized as such. I'm not sure Isaac (Juliva's brother in arms and now husband) even noticed how pretty I think she is, and Ela just loved how nice and caring Litti was with her.

74.  Are any of your characters associated with flowers?

... none that I've ever talked about here either. (She's called Lily.)

75: Do any of your characters wear glasses, sunglasses, goggles, or monocles?

Elara wears goggles, Leona wears glasses after a long, tiring day and Vivian and Merry wear sunglasses anytime they need. No monocles but I feel like Anton could fit in here too, because of his stupid gunner helmet 😝

77. Have any of your characters had to kill a friend?

I... don't think so?! 😲 But I have a gnawing doubt now.

84. Do any of your characters have gaps in their teeth or are missing teeth?

Vespera had a gap between her front teeth when she was a child. But not anymore.

92. Have any of your characters started and/or led a revolution?

Vivian started a revolution, somewhat. But if not her, then Ash. Not exactly a revolution though. More like raids?!?! It was against bandits and highwaymen so I'm not sure it can apply as "a revolution" though...

96. Which character is The Proudest ™ of their kids?

Crahl, for starters. All the kids he trained are his pride and joy. But Elara too! She's so proud of Jakem even though he's not her son, and now she's so proud of Tip-yip too!!! She doesn't understand SHIT about all that Jedi stuff but she doesn't care all too much either, so... What she sees is that he knows a lot of stuff, and understand even more!! And that's all she needs. 💖

100. Are any of your characters queer?

Well, Elara? Her most loving and lasting relationship was with a woman.

108. Are any of your characters dogs?

Astro and Nerio. The first is [REDACTED]'s dog and the second is Altair's.

114. Do any of your characters insist on going by their fullname rather than a nickname?

Hmm. I think I have more characters doing the very opposite of that and preferring to go by completely different names like Zak using the name of his dead best friend, Ulrik being known under specific names by his snitches and other contacts, Vivian trying not to trigger Lawrence's script by using her college nickname/username in the park, Elara having a heap of nicknames and monikers given who's talking to her because she can't bear to hear people she barely know call her "Ela" like her parents, brother and Din did...

Well! Now that I think of it, Elara would be one of them! She'd rather be called "Elara" or even by her family name than to be called "Ela" by strangers!

115. Do any of your characters have an honorary father figure?

Ash could count Walter (the grumpy asshole who taught her how to become a demonist) as an honorary father figure, I guess?! 🤣

120. Do any of your characters have PTSD?

Sadly, a few yes. Vivian and Ulrik were my only shell shocked characters, and Vespera has been added to the roster now... because of awful things she recently saw and had to run from during one of our game session! 😭

126. Are any of your characters on good terms/still friends with an ex?

Elara! Litti is still a very good friend of her.

132. Who is the precious cinnamon roll?

Answered here! But I could add Mereel too! This kid is the sweetest there is in all the galaxy.

133. Have any of your characters ever been caught in a fire or explosion?

First, there was Zak.....

"There was a mosquito in the basement... so I threw a match in the powder kegs."

And now, little spoiler for upcoming chapters of Lost and Found, even though he isn't exactly *my* character:

146. Were any of your characters disowned or abandoned by their parents?

Ulrik, kinda. His mother helped him out of the house because the tension with his *cough* 'father' *cough* was getting out of hand. So she caught him as he was planning to flee on his own, gave him a few aquilas, and kissed him farewell and good luck. 🥺

153: Do any of your characters embody the spirit of a flapper? (Bonus points for style and or lifestyle)

A "secondary-ish" character in my Westworld series: Marge, a colleague of Vivian's. Also Adelaide and Leona.

163: Are any of your characters autistic? (If so, do they have special interests and what are they?)

... according to @hathorik , Elara would be... ?!?! Even though she hasn't been written to be.

She loves numbers and languages, but I don't know if these interests are any special! Speeder bikes, maybe???

165: Who is a “girls just wanna have fun” character?

Marge again! She's boisterous and a very big mouth but I think she's hidding a lot of anxiety behind her behavior... (PUN INTENDED)

169: Are any of your characters married to the sea?

Does Elara count? Not exactly the sea but space... Litti can tell that you can't keep Ela on the ground for too long.

172: Do any of your characters hold a grudge against someone?

Answered here!

[valkblue]

132, 164 and 172! 👀💕

Phee!!!!! 💖✨

132. Who is the precious cinnamon roll?

This one's difficult because I'd say all of my OCs can bite at some point. But, I'd say it's Zak; he's really sweet in general and not even bitchy about things if he can avoid it.

164: Are any of your characters tinkerers or inventors?

Inventor, I don't think so. But tinkerer? It would be Elara.

She grew up around people who taught her that everything can be salvaged somehow, and happened to work in a scrapshop later on... even though she was behind the counter, handling creds most of the time! But she did pick up a few things during that time.

172: Do any of your characters hold a grudge against someone?

🤔 ... this one had me thinking for a while! But it would be Ulrik. He's set on a revenge path against his town 'local crime syndicate', and this guy won't know rest until at least a very specific one of them ("the one with the pricey shoes") will be dead.

[valkblue]

For Ulrik: 16/19/38/59/71/91/105/113/139/161/173

They are all very specific questions... 👀 I know what you did there.

16. How does the way your character present themselves in public differ from how they are in private?

They are almost like day and night. I mean, when you really know him. Then, he drops his guard (PUN NOT INTENDED), and you discover the real guy, the gentle giant who curl up in a corner of his bedroom with his gun in hand because he can't stand the *boom* of fireworks outside anymore...

But in public? He's the very thing he's been trained to arrest in the name of the Law, the relentless beast all the criminals of Alerion whisper urban legends about to one another. He looks solid and stubbornly stoic... but in fact, he's just grasping everything he can from the people in front of him to assess them, analyse them and react accordingly, whether he has to resort to violence or not... or if you are just asking him where the nearest socks shop is. And, then he realises that he lived more than 20 odd years of his life without even knowing 'socks shops' existed in (allegedly) more civilised places of the world. 🧦

19. Does your character like carrots?

He does.

38. Does your character worry about breaking the rules and getting in trouble?

Nope. Not at all. Well — yes! Just a little bit. But that's because sometimes he remembers that he's supposed... to be the Law!!!

59. What kinds of things does your character use as paperweights?

But don't worry, it's not loaded. I think...?!

71. How good is your character at reading people and navigating social situations?

Scarily good, and yet... sometimes they still manage to surprise him! In a bad way, sadly.

Navigating social situations, however... He honestly wings it as it goes. He's kinda irreverent sometimes, but not by lack of respect, more by lack of knowledge, sort of.

91. Does your character engage in gossip?

Absolutely. He loves it, he needs it... not only to blackmail people and pressure them into doing him favours, but because he needs it in his job too. I mean, there must be other ways to do his job, but not to obtain the same results, I guess?

105. Favorite winter activity?

Like every other day of the year; beating people up and breaking and entering in name of the Law, heavily armed and dangerous...

Not dangling on a rope held by the mangled hands of his best friend and the last strength of his own arms over a cliff, that's for sure!

113. Would your character commit treason if the law was wrong?

He does, almost everyday.

139. Has your character ever survived a fatal wound?

A sniper shot (not a modern one, don't worry) in the chest/shoulder area. He could have died that day, and mostly by his own fault.

161: Your character’s opinion of pineapple?

It looks good on a dining table, but he can't understand why people stare at him in horror each time he grabs the thing and cut it down to eat a slice with his very expensive Morcantois cheese... ?! That ugly fruit was like weed in his colony!

... Rich assholes from Alerion, amarite?!

173: How loyal is your character?

... to a fucking fault.

[valkblue]

You have watched. You have asked questions. Money exchanged hands. You have maps, keys, codes, or at least an idea lf what you’d need to get where you need to. Now, the time for the greatest heist if your criminal career has come: which of your OCs do you recruit? For what job? Do you trust them?

Bonus: does it work or is it a complete fucking disaster?

Oh-ohohohoho, anon!

Ahem... well. Honestly, the first characters that came to my mind weren't mine (looking at you, Delta Squad... 👀)! But now, among my own characters??? Am I allowed to take more than one or just one?

I'll go from the standpoint that I can have at least a fireteam. 🤔

So, here we go:

Ulrik: Him being a cop, and a high ranking one at that, might clearly come in handy! At least to cover our tracks. Also, he's good tactician.

Josela: She's ruthless and somewhat stealthy. It could help if things go south. Also, it wouldn't be her first rodeo...

Vespera: ... her witch-powers would DEFINITELY help, I'm sure. In some way, she can even slice into computer or start a car that doesn't want to start.

Crahl: He wouldn't mind to commit that kind of crime, especially if his share his good, he works well with a team (at the helm or not), is an excellent fighter that can use any kind of environment to his own advantage... and he's basically a weapon of his own.

Do I trust them?! With my life, sire!!!

BONUS: Well, I'd say it would go well up to a certain point. And then, one of us would be wounded, I'm sure. Whether it's by their own stupidity or bad luck, this is still to determine... and then, the Fates weren't on our side at the moment to start the car or something, and we'd manage to scatter and dispear in full Mando-fashion thanks to Crahl's training just in time, but on foot.

Who has the loot? Where are they gone? Will we regroup... ? I sure hope so! We have an RV point, anyway. And coms. We are professionals... (Not like some PMC dickhead JAKE FRANKLIN that I won't name...)

So, if Jo isn't the one with the bag, she'd find the one she saw with it ASAP... Just to be sure they'd be honest, or to just gun them down if they aren't. Vera wouldn't be the one with the bag anyway, but she'd probably be the first to reach RVpoint. Crahl would certainly be the one with the bag... but he's an honest Mando, so he'd reach RVpoint after being sure he wasn't followed. And Ulrik would contact us days after for the split, sure of where we were during all that time because of his informant network.

[valkblue]

If your OCs were a soup, what kind of soup would they be?

Ooh, that's a great one!!! 👀 And it's even funnier because a lot of my OCs and other characters eat soups or some form of it at some point in all my stories.

Elbaran —

Ulrik: Mongolian beef soup... 🤤

Leona: Bouillon or Scotch broth.

Ash: my very own and beloved Salmon Soup!! 😭👍💖

Juliva: Lentil soup, with cured ham.

Zak: Lamb or chicken chorba. (My grand mother used to make a delicious one) But now that he has gone native in the Fiefdom of Mountains, I'd say borscht!

Altair: Espinacas con garbanzos, with a lot of almonds. Like, a LOT-lot! (And now I want one. Thanks, Lito...)

Fates —

Vespera: something veggie (pumpkin, carott, squash...) with a hint of watercress, added with parmesan and crispy bacon chips

Westworld —

Vivian: ... microwaved macaroni?? Nah, ok, um... cream of mushroom with peanuts. (and she'll let the dog lick the empty bowl)

Josela: I'd like to say 'the nicotine water' (@hathorik ...👀) but... naaaaah, I think she'd be something hearty like potato and maybe some cream, with slice of cornbread to dip in it and salted pork on the side.

Zeke: ... whisky soup. (BRUH!!!)

The Mandalorian —

Elara: Miso soup, with a fuckton of seaweed, and random fishes or shrimps in it!

Jox: Bouillabaisse. (and as a Mediterranean/person born and raised in south of France, I have to say that I completely disagree on this one! 😅)

Other Original Stories —

Merry: Potato-leak-lentil soup 👌

[valkblue]

Whomst of thy OCs art taller than thou? Smaller? Doth thou find some kind of pattern in thy new great knowledge of thyself?

Hi, "anon"! Thanks for asking this very tricky question.

I think most of my characters are taller than I am, like Zak, Ulrik, Juliva, Altair… Ela, Vivian and Vespera are just a few centimeters taller than me too, but Ash, Leo, Merry and I are the same size. Or very close to it.

But what it might says about me or what I might realise from that!? 🤔 I don't know for sure? That I like when people are taller than me, that I don't feel threatened by people taller than me... or that I would love to be taller and I live my dream vicariously through characters who see the world from up high?! 🤣

I really couldn't say because I'm not feeling that very salty about my own height. I'm not that tall but I'm fine with that. Actually, I even feel kinda bad when I have to look down on people because they are smaller. 😳 Not children though! It's normal for children to be smaller than anyone else so it's ok! But these little shitlings seems to love making me feel like a goofy giant by grabbing my legs and then stab my thighs with their chins to talk to me very fast about random things wherever I go!?!? (WHY?!?!)

So, yeah. Most of my characters are taller than me! 😁
