Stating what they (don't) want pretty firmly.

[forffax]

21, 26, 30-32, 39-43 for whichever ocs you want :D

THANK U CHASE!! gonna talk abt the Tos family bc they're always on my mind :]

(🦁: Lux, 🦗: Ferdinand, 🐏: Athanasius, 🐦: Zephyr, 🦙: Alan)

21. Why do they get up in the morning?

🦁: After reconciling with his family and reuniting with the love of his life, he's just genuinely happy to be alive :]

🦗: He spent a long time in a sort of stasis, and although conscious, he wouldn't consider that time as "living". Now that he's back, he wants to treasure his time and finds joy in doing the little, basic things that he couldn't before.

🐏: Better than lying around all day. She likes to be busy! She's also got a sometimes intensive lab job to get to, and she's the primary breadwinner for the household (sharing an apartment with Zeph)

🐦: Gotta get work done. Even if she doesn't want to. Also generally doing better... getting him up isn't as hard as it used to be.

🦙: Xe gets stir-crazy so easily sdfkhjsd. They like going to school, generally, now that it's Normal and not Bad. He likes helping her dads around the house and going out to meet with xer brother(s) and friends :]

26. What is their preferred mode of transportation?

🦁: He has a license but prefers to bike or walk most places.

🦗: Also has a license and a car but likes taking public transportation, when available!

🐏: She has a scooter for shorter trips and a motorcycle for longer ones :]

🐦: Don't put her behind the wheel of a vehicle he'll start crying. Usually bums a ride from her sister or his friend Clara :]

🦙: Has a cute little moped that he rides everywhere! She also carries a foldable cane for if they have to walk for any prolonged time.

30. Who do they most regret meeting?

🦁: His great aunt... the woman who took him away to Saluria.

🐏: She's had a few bad exes here and there, but she doesn't think about them much (or, at least, she tries not to)

🦙: The director of his old school. Xe was nothing more than an asset to him; raw metal ready to be shaped into a piercing blade.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met?

🦁: Ferdinand <3

🦗: Lux <3

🐏: Zephyr, Lux, and their dad, Jules :]

🐦: Athanasius and Clara :]

🦙: His dads and Alex + David!

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?

🦁: He doesn't have any specific story but sometimes he'll talk about the most insane shit that happened during the war and then not elaborate sdjkgfs.

🐏: "___-er? I hardly know 'er!" She thinks this is the funniest thing in the world.

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?

🦁: He doesn't ignore it per say, but doesn't speak up unless it's causing undue problems for multiple other people, not just himself.

🐏: She has a hard time ignoring people's flaws, big or small, which has caused conflict in the past. She can be blunt about pointing them out, but she doesn't mean to be cruel about it; in her mind, if the problem is spoken, it is easier to address.

🐦: She won't say it to your face but he WILL complain to Thana and her friends later. Non-confrontational, sometimes to a fault.

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

🦁: ehe..

🦗: hm.

🐏: well,

🐦: erm.

🦙: Xe's normal actually.

41. How do they feel about children?

🦁: Never thought he'd be a dad (especially at his age), but considers himself incredibly blessed to be able to help raise Alan :]

🦗: Also never thought he would have kids, but always wanted to! Loves his kid and loved his time as a teacher.

🐏: Likes kids and loves her nephew but doesn't see herself ever having kids of her own.

🐦: Somewhat adverse to children, but more because she's just incredibly awkward and doesn't know how to interact.

🦙: <- is a child (but is generally kind towards younger kids)

42. How badly do they want to reach their end goal?

🦁: He went though hell to survive, to make it back home alive and to see his family one last time... Things have very drastically changed since then, but he'd do anything to keep his loved ones happy and safe.

🦗: <- Guy who spent over a decade building himself a new body because he refused to die.

🐏: She'd love to have a wife and a house and be retired but honestly she's just waiting to see where life takes her.

🐦: She's not in too much of a rush. He's learning to enjoy the process, especially as she's gotten older (and started transitioning).

🦙: Xe's not sure if he has an end goal other than "be happy" and "don't die until you're old).

43. If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?

🦁: Gay man (man in a loose sense, only a man insofar as he is attracted to men in a gay way).

🦗: Exclusively attracted to other men

🐏: Butch lesbian

🐦: Bi and aro, t4t

🦙: *shrugs*
