Character Development Questions

3. How do they position themselves in a group? Do they like to be the center of attention, or do they hang back at the edges of a crowd?

More like somewhere in the middle. She’s typically the Mom Friend and tries to look out for everyone around her. She never puts herself before others, or let her fall back so far that she’s forgotten about.

13. How do they greet the world — what is their typical attitude towards life? How does it differ in different circumstances, or towards different subjects? Why do they take these attitudes, and why do they change? How do these tend to be expressed?

She’s really enthusiastic about life in general. She’s always smiling and bubbly. Sunshine literally radiates off of her. It’s pretty rare that she shows anything less than, or that she’s distressed. She prides herself on having an optimistic outlook on life, even if it gets annoying.

She tends to be a little bit more real when she’s with Arells though.

23. How do they respond to difficult social moments? What makes them consider a social situation difficult?

She’ll step back and try to find a solution to it as soon as possible. She doesn’t like to let things linger and fester to where it gets toxic, so any ounce of tension or any arguments etc will get taken care of immediately.

28. What are they likely to do if they have the opportunity, resources, and time to accomplish it? Why?

She’d really like to get into tarot and crystals, anything mythic really. The aesthetic is what she likes the most about them, but she has an open mind to the spiritual side of it all too.

35. How and why do they internalize knowledge? What effect has that had on them?

She doesn’t really like to keep things from others for reasons stated above. Even if it’s unpleasant knowledge, she’ll discuss it the best she can (sugar coating it to all hell and back). Though.. sometimes the want to keep someone safe of heartache outweighs the need of truth, so she’ll withhold information so she doesn’t have to be the one to make said person feel bad.

41. What associations do they bring to mind? Words or phrases, images, metaphors or motifs? Why?

Motherly, sympathetic, tender, sweet, determined 

I associate her with things like calm beaches, rooms filled with plants, shades of white, blooming teas, yoga, anything meant to be calming really.

nihlus mein freund this is random and out of context and i swear all will be revealed eventually but how many years of an age gap do u figure there is between u and saren

HONESTLY i know some Gremlins write saren as being like 10+ yrs older than me which is Bad but tbh I always figure there being a 2-3 yr age gap tops

[rock-paperback-scissors]

oc fact swap, for whoever you feel like answering about: i have a salarian doctor by the nickname "zett" (most people struggle with his real name) who works on omega. he got his medical license revoked after a patient made a huge fuss over something that wasn't really a big deal, and rather than pay the fines, he and a few of his brothers hatched a scheme to fake their own deaths and skip town for omega, thus sticking all the fines to the one brother they worked with they hated.

That’s awesome.

I currently have two unfinished DAI games underway, one with a human mage (Aventine) and one with a human rogue (Francis). I headcanon that they’re sister and brother. And for as long as Av was in the Circle, Francis had been trying to sneak her out of it. Also, Av specialized in healing spells, and was only brought to the Concalve as medic, as a precautionary measure in case the event turned violent.

My part of the art trade with @thecouncilwasright.

Thank you very much for letting me use your OC, I hope she turned out okay. It was a lot of fun drawing her.

Last Sentence Tag

Here we go again. I’ve been tagged by @thecouncilwasright​ (thanks!). So it’s not even a sentence, it’s long as hell and it’s not the last one I wrote, but I like this scene so whatever I guess :3

Somebody knocked on the door upstairs. He flinched, nearly tumbling over the wet floor. “Shlee, you there?” Anetha's voice did nothing to alleviate his sudden jitter. “Yeah,” he said. Then, with a hint of nervousness “I thought you were sleeping though?” “Come up now.” Her voice was strangely quiet. “Give me two minutes.” “Shlee, the Citadel's under attack.” He heard the words, and they were empty. “Under attack?” he repeated. So he could earn time for feelings to form. “Come and see.” No feeling had formed, so he put on his clothes. His head drowned in a low buzzing of thoughts, but he didn't pay enough attention to parse anything coherent. The ground was cold and sticky under his soles, the haze cradling him in his state of non-reaction.

It’s not as spoilery as it looks, but I kind of like this scene so here you go ! I tag @inquartata30, @autodiscothings, @natsora and @bronzeagelove if you feel like doing it

Ship Meme

Tagged by @thecouncilwasright :)

First ship you ever read fic for: I... actually can’t remember? Maybe some dragon age fic? Oh wait, I once beta read a friend’s American Horror Story fanfic, I’ve never actually watched AHS though does it count asdfh

First ship you ever wrote fic for: I did write a Fenhawke that never saw the light of day a while back

Ship you write the most now: Right now? Nothing, but once exams are done I may write some beauyasha, or finish the Shepard/Liara fic I was writing. Oh also my Watcher/Aloth fics because Imlovethosebois but those? Probably never gunna see the light of day.

Ship you read the most now: Beauyasha

Newest ship: hmm all the CR ships? Also I feel like the moment I start playing PoE2 I’m going to ship Maia and Xoti so watch this space. 

Rare ship you wanna read more of: give me Ryder/Raeka. Pls lord. 

Your taboo ship: What do ya mean taboo ship? I’m assuming this is ship I really don’t like? Or one you’d never be okay shipping? (D0rian/Ir0nbull) what? who said that? Wasn’t me. Also any underage or abusive ships. Like... obviously.

They never met in canon ship: I don't think I’ve ever shipped people who never met in canon? Though thinking about it Sam and Suvi would have been awesome together so you know what those two.

Your unexpected ship: I mean I didn’t expect to ship the Dragonborn with Serena but then... here i am. Shipping the Dragonborn with Serena

The ship you always forget to give love to: Scott/Gil, love that funky engineer. Also Wrench/Marcus love those bois.

Ship your OC with a canon character: I guess PeeBee/Jay counts here, because Jay is (in my canon) not a Ryder. There’s another fic i really need to finish...

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship: I don't know if there’s a ship I’m embarrassed to ship? 

Your most romantic ship: hmm Macen/Avitus, I imagine those two to be super romantic and still are because as we all know Macen is still alive :)

Your sexiest ship: uhhhhh I don't know? I guess I’ll just say Beauyasha? Oh but also Josie/Adaar?

Your most tragic ship: Honestly that goes to Shepard/Liara because even if Shepard does survive, she lives such a small fraction of liara’s life annnnd i made myself sad again. (It’s not Macen/Avitus because Macen? Still alive)

A ship you want more content for: Beauyasha, My Watcher/Aloth (I’m aware i need to do it myself asdfgfh), whatever else I get invested in when exams are over

As always I wont tag people in this, but do it if you want and tag me if ya do :P

shepard asks: 2 and 13 for ken, 9 and 10 for aiden? :3c

What are they flaws? Do they like talking about them and/or do they acknowledge them and try work on them? 

Ken tends to underestimate himself a lot, Jun tells him he’s way too harsh on himself and he knows about it, he’s been criticized a lot as a kid so going over his actions during a mission got ingrained into his brain. But he’s trying to work on it, he also started treating himself better because he put other peoples’ problems before his own. He’s slowly getting there, boy just needs to be more selfish.

What is their favorite kind of weather?

He loves snowy weather, but the calm kind,,, not blizzards

What are their hobbies and which hobby is their favorite?

Aiden loves building his own gadgets and robots. Uhh he sometimes likes to mess with the crew and with EDI’s permission he hacks into the Normandy - turning on and off lights, flushing the toilet,,, just being a little shit. Sometimes he likes to make sure if Liara doesn’t read his messages, he’s way too paranoid and he knows how to counter the Shadow Broker’s hacking attempts, he’s been in the hacking business longer than her. However, he prefers building Roombas for his crew.

What animal(s) do they like the most? 

He just loves his hamster, her name is Pixel.

[genovia]

merc i have a #concept for u: what if the m.e. games are an exaggerated, "gritty reboot"-style retelling of what actually happened. it isn't ACTUALLY that depressing, some hotshot director just wanted it to be more ~dramatic~

THIS RECEIVES MY STAMP OF APPROVAL but what would even be funnier is if the game was released within the lifespan of shep and crew (the… non-asari/krogan ones anyway) and they have a gaming month where they all gather back in shep’s retirement home and throw popcorn at the tv and yell “THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED” at various plot points. there’s a big debacle over who shep kisses first in the first playthrough (the kitchen became a riot place who knew old folks could chuck salad bowls so hard). james complains his muscles aren’t big enough. liara insisting she doesn’t say “goddess” that much (right? right?!) 

By the end of the series the only Truly Canon™ moment is shepard being super protective of her hamster.

17, 23, and 27 for an oc of your choice? :>

Thanks! I’ll do this for Fyros

Psychology OC Questions (send me some!)

17: Does your OC suffer from any mental health issues?

Basically just major depression. It’s not managed or anything, so he’s just kinda floating in a dark cloud all of the time.

23: Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?

He’s fairly straight forward with people. Mostly stern and stoic. It would take a whole lot of time for him to open up and be more loose with someone. So joking around or being playful won’t come so easily at first. It’s very hard for him to just... let go in general. If someone caught him smiling he’ll actually try to deny that he was.

27: Does your OC practice any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?

Piloting is pretty much his way of forgetting everything. Sleeping around helps too, though he’s not addicted to sex or anything. Otherwise, he looks to religion and his spirituality.
