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

[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.

Question 12 is about words! See top post.

[infectedbloodcomics]

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

13. What do you have in your pockets?

Shanti: A paper handkerchief.

Sekhmet: A knife.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Question #14 is about special traits

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

Shanti: I have a very strong sense of justice and can't stand bullies. If I see someone in pain or being hurt, I always help, even if I get myself in trouble.

Sekhmet: The longer I go without sex, the angrier I become.

[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.

The best way I can describe his personality is sarcastic, rude, rebellious and sometimes a little perverted. He also loves mocking his enemies in a rather vulgar fashion.
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. Lastly, I have a dog named Rocky who chose to be my familiar, he's a hellhound and his breed is the Caucasian Shepard. Rocky is vary loving towards me and Jack especially.

I will be gone for a few days, so here's a whole bunch of questions for your characters in advance!

11. What does your voice sound like?

18. Did you enjoy school?
Echo: I like studying with Mia, the Archmage's assistant. She is a little bit cold, but quite a good teacher. She is very calm and takes her time to explain something. I'd like the Archmage to teach me, one day... So, yes, I enjoy being with her.

Comic: City of Blank
Characters
Rexerse

I have more characters but they haven't been introduced yet or are a dog... And I'm not sure if a lot of these would apply to the dog ahah.

------------------------- Part 1: The Basics -------------------------
1. What is your full name?
Rexerse: Oi, just call me Rexerse!

2: When and where were you born?
Rexerse: Way up in the Northern Region in a little rural farm town called Meryl. I didn't actually see much of it. I just remember it snowed a lot. Oi, I hated it! The desert is way better.

3. Who are/were your parents? Names, occupations, personalities, etc.
Rexerse: Dad died before I was old enough to remember him. He was apparently a soldier fighting down in the south. Mom always told me it was an accident but my brother told me a few years ago that he apparently did it himself... There...was a lot to it. My brother didn't wanna give me any details, but I think I know what happened...
Mom...Mom passed away not long ago. She got sick... We just didn't catch it in time. Oi, these things just happen I guess... She was the best mom you could ask for though! She didn't work, I was uh...sort of a full time job growing up. Let's just put it that way. We lived off my dad's life insurance apparently.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Rexerse: Oi, the best big brother I coulda got. I...miss him a lot still. He wasn't a perfect guy, he could be sort of an ass at times even! But overall he made Shnee look downright disloyal! Sometimes he'd get mad at me because...of my situation...but I know he cared about me. He wouldn't have done everything he did if he didn't. I owe him a lot... More than I can really let you guys know.
(*Note: Shnee is his dog)

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Rexerse: I live in Glory City, better known as the City of Blank and OI IT'S AWESOME! Everything is so big and there are blanks EVERYWHERE! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and the weather is perfect! I've only been to a couple of cities in my life but Glory City HAS to be one of the best cities in the world!
Right now I'm kinda homeless though. Guess that's what happens when you get up and leave the only thing you've known as home for 21 years. It's okay though, I got my trusty companion Shnee!

(Note: Glory City is a desert city and considered very "ghetto" and unwelcoming. It's the last place in the world anyone actually wants to live. It's also populated heavily with creatures called blanks that anyone else would consider pests. Rexerse is just an optimist to the max.)

6. What is your occupation?
Rexerse: Eheh... Right... I should probably get a job soon now that I'm actually in Glory City.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Rexerse: Oi, I love talking about myself!

Hair: Dusty grey
Eye Color: Purple
Style of dress: Ready for lots of travel and action!

8. To which social class do you belong?
Rexerse: We were pretty middle class. I'm basically homeless now!

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Rexerse: Oi, why you asking? You wanna fight? I sure hope I don't have any... There's so many foods I gotta try, I CAN'T BE ALLERGIC TO THEM!

10. Are you right or left-handed?
Rexerse: I'm ambidextrous! Just little Rexerse things.

11. What does your voice sound like?
Rexerse- I guess young? It's just slightly on the nasally side.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Rexerse: Oi, none that I can think of.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Rexerse: A rubber band, a pencil, an eraser, a lighter, a pocket knife, dog treats, and snacks before Shnee found them while I was changing clothes.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Rexerse: Oi, are you hinting at something?

------------------------- Part 2: Growing Up -------------------------
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Rexerse: ...Secluded. Can we leave it at that?

16. What is your earliest memory?
Rexerse: The basement... Which was my room. And...heh, the night I was born too. O-Oh, I guess its sorta weird to remember that... And to have two first memories...

17. How much schooling have you had?
Rexerse: I was home schooled. You could say I sorta had a normal high school experience too though.

18. Did you enjoy school?
Rexerse; Yes and no.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Rexerse: From my big brother...

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
RexerHeh: Oi... I would have never told him but now that he's not around I guess it's not so embarrassing to say but I totally looked up to my big brother.

21.While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Rexerse: My only family was my mom and brother. We had Lauro too though, my god mother. She's a bitch. Next question!

[infectedbloodcomics]

Not obnoxious at all! It's great for everyone and anyone can join in at any time! You also can answer as many or as few questions as you like!

[infectedbloodcomics]

Your characters' dreams as a child...

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Shanti: Oh, I kept changing my mind on a lot of things, but I knew for sure I would have never wanted to be in the armed forces or anything like it!

Sekhmet: Anything. I just wanted to grow up as fast as I could.
