The character building thread -100 questions for you to get to know your character/s!

[danacraig78]

I have the same vulnerabilities as fire. I know how that sounds, but my entire body is based on it connection to fiery energy. That is why I do not swim or take baths. I do shower, but it is enough to get clean and get out. Otherwise, it becomes really painful.

However, that vulnerability also affects other areas. I have to find clothes that do not float easily. I can contain a lot of fire power, or about 6.7 trillion joules. That is a rough estimate to capacity of energy I can safetly carry. However, it is not likely I carry it all the time. Even at the high numbers, I probably emit about 5% of it. Unless of course, the energy forcefully emits, which all of it goes out. However, 5% can still cause clothes to slip off or do something outright embarrassing.

[Kayke]

This seems fun. I'm going to try to do it for all of my 3.5 main characters... though I might skip a few questions.

Riley: Average height and kind of scrawny. He's Latino, and has brown hair, green eyes, and olive skin. He dresses kind of dorky and isn't super comfortable with his body so he wears a lot of flannels and sweatshirts.
Creep: He tol. His superpowers make his body really stretchy, so he looks really thin and lanky most of the time. His hair dark purple, his skin is pink, and his eyes are red. He doesn't really pick out his own clothes, so he just ends up wearing whatever Riley had on when he transformed or his super-costume.
Sam: She's short and average build. Her hair is dark black (though she dyes it that color) and she is pale and freckled with brown eyes. Her style is more varied than any of the boys. She's just as happy wearing a t-shirt and jeans as she is wearing a dress. She doesn't do heels though.

Riley: Right
Creep: Left

Riley: His voice can get a little higher than he wants it to be at times, especially when he's nervous. His voice is a little nasally and he tends to speak more quietly than the siblings and Creep.
Creep: Similar to Riley's voice, but deeper and louder. He also gets squeaky when he's nervous or in an argument. When he thinks he's being charming or sly, his voice gets deeper and kind of drawls.
Sam: Really clear and even toned, she never mumbles. Her voice can get sort of gravelly if she's angry or upset though.
Alex: Alex's voice is very clear like his sisters, though deeper and more animated. He laughs when he's talking a lot and if he's about to say something funny you'll know. He also has a tendency to get sing-songy when he's excited or teasing.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

Riley: "Ugh" "Um" "I dunno" "Really?" sighing
Creep: "Wow" "Huh?" "Ow" "Let's do this!" "Sammy!" insert various clever insults
Sam: "Ugh" "Gross" "Come off it" "Nope" "Shut up" "Cut it out" more clever insults
Alex: "Come on!" "Woah" "Wow" chuckling

13. What do you have in your pockets?

Riley: Cell phone, house key, wallet.
Creep: Whatever Riley left in his pockets, hahah.
Sam: Probably not in her pockets, but in her backpack: Guitar pick, house key, cell phone, walkie-talkie, all purpose tool, lip gloss
Alex: Cell, walkie-talkie, keys for home and work, gum/mints, chapstick

Alex: He is a very bad liar and often gets sweaty/can't keep eye contact when he attempts to.

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

Riley: He really can't complain. He's an only child with two parents who love him very much. Things could get a little boring sometimes, but that's just because his parents protected him from things.
Creep: Didn't really have a childhood?
Sam/Alex: When they were very little they had a good childhood, but their mom died when they were still fairly young. Their father did the best that he could and they never wanted for anything... but things could have been better. They became very close since their father was kind of emotionally distant after their mom died. Alex ended up taking care of Sam a lot.

16. What is your earliest memory?
-skip-

[infectedbloodcomics]

Question #10 is all about your lovely hands/tentacles/screwdrivers, etc. (if you have them)! See OP at the very top, as usual

[infectedbloodcomics]

And question number 11 is about your windpipes

[danacraig78]

1. Are you right or left-handed?
   Right-handed..I think.

2. What does your voice sound like?
   Well, umm. I do have a thick dialect, but I am trying to taper it so people will understand what I am saying. There is nothing worst than people staring at you like you’re Medusa when you talk. Other than that fact, I am not real sure how to grade my own voice.

I think the best comparison for my normal speaking voice can sound like Rose Leslie (Ygritte from Game of Thrones). Yes, I know she is Scottish. However, I have the same range as her. However, my normal speaking voice is different than what I like to call my Fae voice.

I don’t let the latter come out because very few people would understand. Think of the sweetest harmony you heard and that is close to what it sounds like. When I used in the past, a bunch of Southern Gentlemen thought I was flirting with them. They were polite, do not get me wrong. However, it does get a little creepy.

[infectedbloodcomics]

[danacraig78]

Question 13 is about pockets! I'll start answering here, too, so you won't have to scroll anymore

Well, I have my papers of course. While the legality is questionable, I do not go anywhere without them. While I am sure I do not fit into the racial profiling people talk about, I feel it is a bad idea to go anywhere without my Visa. If a cop tries to detain me, I do not want to worry about being deported. While going back to Ireland is not entirely bad, it is just there is a lot of bad memories. I came here to make new memories.

[danacraig78]

1. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

Something stranger than being a pyromancer? Well, I think the worse part of pyromancy is that fire can affect my moods. I have a vile temper when it comes to it, but I can also be quite a supple lover some people tell me. It is really strange and something I have to get a better handle on.

My next roommate is Trent, he has no memories of his past and doesn't even know his real name so we call him Trent. The angels also have no records of who he is. He's not the bravest person I've ever met but he is the most level headed out of the four of us by far, he is in the Exorcist class which is a common one. Jack and I also have the tendency to annoy him... a lot.
I also live with a succubus named Mel who doesn't act like a succubus at all, she acts and talks in a childish manner and no matter what I do she refuses to wear shoes.
