THE DAILY LIFE MEME

GREETINGS LUCETIANS. Long ago, on a distant server, Kyio once unleashed a pleasant meme. But it’s been forever since we did it again.

1) Height:

Comics canon has her list her height as 5'11", but that's without the high heels she prefers to wear!

2) Weight:

I'd approximate her weight somewhere in the range of 130-135 lbs.

3) Eye color/Hair Color:

Ororo's eyes are blue! But they glow white when she's using her powers. Her hair is white.

4) Age:

She turned 30 last January!

5) Physical features:

Nothing of note!

6) Voice:

Helpful link here and here! Evo!Storm has a strong voice, low (she's an alto) and not quite sultry but she can if she wants to be!

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?:

The X-Men live over at House 16. That's Wolverine, Rogue, Nightcrawler, X-23 and Mia! Chores are pretty much divided evenly, I guess. Everyone's responsible for cleaning their own rooms, doing their own laundry... and if you make a mess, you also have to clean it up. I imagine it works the same way at the Mansion back home.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?:

People cook when they feel like cooking! But since Kurt and Logan are pretty much happy with chips or pizza, I'd think that Storm and Rogue do most of it, with Mia pitching in to help now and then. Ororo doesn't have any favorite foods though. She's easy to please, but will tend to pass on red meat if she can help it (meaning she’ll eat it, but also be perfectly happy with a simple salad. She’s not vegetarian or anything!)

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti:

Ororo starts every morning bright and early flying up to the clouds and greet the sunrise! She gets back to the house in time to see if anyone wants anything for breakfast. Then it's off to the Battle Dome to do a daily run of Danger Room sessions, and if she can spare the time, stop by the flower shop to say hello to Raine and check out what's new. She tends to her garden in the late afternoons. Probably takes care of dinner, too, but usually has free time in the late afternoon to evening to visit or meet up with whoever. Sometimes she goes on evening flights!

10) Their general sense of fashion:

Just because she doesn’t have the same opinion on nudity as the rest of the West doesn’t mean she doesn’t like dressing up! Ororo likes to dress well. Of course, given that she’s an instructor at the Institute she has to keep a certain image. She’s usually seen in modest (but not frumpy) attire. Slacks, blouses. Skirts. She seems to favor pinks and purples (how girly!), but she also really likes neutral earth tones like deep green, beige… Her favorite color is plum.

She also rly rly likes heels, ok. They make her legs look amazing.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?:

Gardening. Flying! Playing the piano. Ororo likes to sit somewhere quiet and read, too. She has a secret collection of ~~trashy~~ romance novels… Mostly things she's already liked to do even before coming to Luceti.

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?:

Ororo's never really been in a war, before. It's testing her morals a little bit. She's slowly changing, I think, from being someone who will not tolerate killing to understanding that in the situation that they are in now - mostly during drafts or missions - there are times that it's a necessity. She still does her very best to incapacitate, not kill, especially when an enemy is at her mercy.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:

Nope! Ororo relies on her mutation to fight and stuff. Sometimes she'll have a knife though, but not usually.

14) Do they have any pets? Would these pets be at their homes, or do they hang out with the character in question?:

Wolverine must be fed and watered daily and prefers to bathe on a weekly basis, sometimes less often, so keeping him clean can be a challenge. Must be allowed to wander freely or gets cranky and upset. In which case, provide cigars and/or beer and/or hockey. No pets, nope...

15) Who are their neighbors?:

The X-Men live at House 16. Next door to them at #15 are Rin and Shiemi, the former of whom takes Logan's classes at the Dome. They share a backyard, and a swimming pool (IIRC!)

Across the way at #17 are Belle and Beast, at #18 Sheena and Suki and at #19 are Daria and Quinn.

16) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?

Well, her closest friend would probably be Logan. But in terms of Luceti CR, it might be Saori? They fly around every now and then and enjoy the rain when it's the season for it haha. She also likes meeting up with Pepper and/or Natasha ocassionally, sometimes Raine at the flower shop since she goes there a lot.

17) On the flip side, is there anyone they actively don’t get along with? How do they interact, and would people know about this?

Loki is a butt. He's a supervillain who blew up New York because it was fun and also he's dating one of Ororo's students and that's not cool!!

18) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

The open sky is her favorite place! Also the flower shop and ocassionally Cloud Nine, for the ambiance and the chance to play with the pianos there if she has the chance.

19) Do they belong to any clubs or organizations? Which ones? Do they go regularly, or just occasionally?

She just joined Billy and Teddy's LGBT club The Alliance! I don't think they have like regular meetings or anything, but she does offer to help when they organize things. Like the upcoming Speed Dating event!

20) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?:

Ororo's wings are white, like her hair! She tries to keep them clean, usually folded under her cape when in uniform (because they're a liability.) Otherwise she tailors her clothes so they stick out of them for comfort. But the Valentine's event had her discover that it's got other uses too. 'A'

21) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?:

Nope, she's a woman grown.

22) What do they miss the most from home?:

The rest of her family, including the X-Men. Probably especially Charles and Hank, Scott and Jean and Kitty.

23) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?:

I usually use Monotype Corsiva when I do written tags for her! But I imagine her handwriting to look more like this. Ororo writes much like how she speaks, in correct grammar. English was a third language for her (after Arabic and Swahili), so she's learned to speak and write it in the "correct" way.

24) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?:

There isn't very much difference, no. Ororo speaks well, and tactfully.

25) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?:

Well, back home her main goal really is to save the world from Apocalypse and fight for mutant rights. She can't do either of that here in Luceti! Also, she's been told she's going to die in her future, so that kind of gets in the way of things. She still wants to go back though, and do what she can even if it means sacrificing her life for it.

26) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

A bit of a downgrade! Luceti has electricity now and state of the art tech in the Battle Dome, but no cars, no sleek jets, no cable TV, no radio... She's adjusted well enough. She lived very simply before her time in America, so this isn't too bad for her at all.

~~27) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?:~~

28) FOR DRINKERS: What is their favorite drink? What is their least favorite drink? Do they prefer Good Spirits or Cloud Nine? What's their attitude about and while drinking?:

Ororo isn't much of a drinker! She does do social drinks now and then, though. A rum and coke if she's in the mood (but only one!), but usually an appletini or some similarly fruity drink with an umbrella. Generally the ambiance of Cloud Nine appeals to her more, but more from her circle of friends frequent Good Spirits, so she hangs out there too.

29) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:

... She's a weather witch! She can control the weather! Also she plays the piano! And she can do a mean Tina Turner ~~when she's had enough to drink~~

30) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how?

Ororo is brushing up on her hand to hand combat, a necessity because a lot of drafts and missions have had her stripped of her mutation. The last thing she wants is to be helpless!

31) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting?

Ororo is becoming a little more willing to kill, something she is never going to get used to, or enjoy. But she is going to fight, especially to protect her family and teammates and anyone who needs help or can't protect themselves. That doesn't make taking lives easier, of course.

32) What kind of habits do they have on missions? What is their reason for going on them? What do they intend to use their points for?

Ororo sometimes uses missions to learn more about what's going on outside Luceti, from people from the other enclosures. She doesn't really count on learning about the higher-ups (unless it's a big mission), but she'll take what chances she can. The mission points don't mean very much to her, but once in a while she finds a good use for them (like having an X-Uniform for Mia made!)

33) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?:

Though her previous stays only lasted a couple of months each, coming back a third time has made it easier to adjust to Luceti life. She knows it's possible to return home and come back, so she hasn't lost hope about that. Also she doesn't discount what's happening here in Luceti as just a dream/not real or anything, given that she remembers being here whenever she's here. So she makes the most of her situation! And continues to fight because fighting for a cause is a thing she does.

34) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft?

GARDENING it's very therapeutic. Used one way, her powers can be destructive and brutal and terrifying. Used in another, they nurture and give life, and that is a huge comfort for her.

35) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked?

She can't decide if the Valentine's event was a violation or not!!! Because yes she slept with certain people she liked but it wasn't entirely, necessarily willingly and that just isn't cool. The possession event turned her soooort of against the people most important to her too, and that isn't an experience she'd like to repeat.

The Scavenger Event one was mostly harmless and actually kind of fun, though. The cool costumes (or lack thereof, in some cases) amused her!

36) Anything else you want to note?:

Here is a post I made so I can keep things about my headcanon of Evo!Storm's history and origins consistent when I need to reference it somewhere!
