The Daily Life Meme
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.
Now it’s back again! With even MORE questions to tease your brains! This is your chance to show everyone how much thought you put into your roleplay and more importantly, offer a glimpse into your character’s Luceti life. Why does this matter? Well, it’s a handy way of helping other people play off you and consequently, make more interesting CR. So be a cool guy and try and fill it out!
Feel free to respond to each other's tags with IC or OOC responses, questions, or what have you. Have fun!
Kim!
I just got Cato right now sooo boop
2) Weight:
ehuuuuuuu i'd guess about 171 pounds?
3) Eye color/Hair Color:
He's only ever described as being BIG in the book so I go by my pb (obviously) of having blond hair and blue eyes.
4) Age: He is 16 in the books, which is where I take most of my canon for him from but since he's been in Luceti a year he's 17 now! WooO!
5) Physical features:
One thing that is really a stand-out feature that almost none of my icons feature are the three scars on the side of his face from the mutt attack - since I did end up taking him post death I thought it'd be fun to keep those as a reminder.
Also because I'm evil but hey.
Other than that he's just really tall and really bulky. Scary looking for a kid.
6) Voice:
Interview with Alexander Ludwig on Cato!
(i dunno if I should warn for spoilers but....spoilers?)
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: Cato lives with Clove because A) He's whipped.
B) Because no one else would want to live with him.
Cato does the cooking, Clove does whatever chores he asks her to do (which is mostly cleaning up after him). Things like laundry and shopping are shared / depends on whos in the mood
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?:
As stated up above: Cato does the cooking. My headcanon is that his mom really enjoyed cooking and got him to help her in the kitchen - so he knows what he's doing. Plus it's relaxing.
Cato really, really likes anything with meat in it. He comes from a better off place than Katniss does and thusly has more luxuries relating to food - but he does go to the "Academy" and they train the kids to be fighting machines. So he does exactly have a sweet tooth.
Ice cream gives him a stomach ache.
9) What they do during an average day in Luceti:
Cato will either stay inside the apartment all day or he will be in the Battle Dome training. He doesn't really like social interaction (at all) and avoids people if he can help it.
10) Their general sense of fashion:
He tends to stick with things that are similar to his school-wear. Pants made with athletic movement in mind, regular t-shirt and light jacket over that. Tough, reliable shoes.
He still has his Games wear (which isn't that different) but he'll only wear the jacket given to him during drafts. Because Clove wears hers and it's easy to spot.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?:
Cato had to discover his hobby in Luceti. He had a hard time of picking out cooking as a hobby but it's always been something he's done - just not...for fun.
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?:
Cato used to live by the idea that he was going to win the Hunger Games when he went to them. He was brought up by his peers to believe this, being one of the best students. After dying he's had several breakdowns about being dead, each contributing to an epiphany that Luceti is his "second chance" to have a better life.
He's trying to live by that but it's hard to break lifelong habits. It's slow progress but progress nonetheless!
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:
Cato has a longsword that Clove stole off a Third-Party soldier. It broke during a draft and he has yet to repair it - reluctant to do so because he doesn't want Clove to find out he broke it.
Eventually he'll have to since it's his favorite weapon. He usually only carries it when he's going to train or for drafts, but if he's feeling particularly paranoid he'll wear it normally.
14) Do they have any pets? Would these pets be at their homes, or do they hang out with the character in question?:
No pets.
Not yet.
15) Who are their neighbors?:
Crona and Japan but they don't know one another at all.
16) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?
Ehm, well. Clove is his closest friend because...he doesn't get out much. He has an acquaintance going on with Rapunzel that he would consider to be a friendship since he's talked to her more than once (yeah, good job buddy).
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?
Not to my knowledge no! He mostly doesn't get on with anyone so...it's a general wide sweeping declaration of 'I don't like anyone'
18) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:
The Western lake is where Clove and Cato have staked out a camp a la Careers in the Arena. They both spend a lot of time there respectively.
Other than that he likes the Battle Dome a lot.
19) Do they belong to any clubs or organizations? Which ones? Do they go regularly, or just occasionally?
HAHA NO THAT MEANS HE'D HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE.
20) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?:
Cato covers his wings up as much as possible just because they're a really obvious weakness. The color of them is gold, based off the gladiator esque armor he wore in the Parade.
21) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?:
His hair is getting kind of shaggy but other than that - nope!
22) What do they miss the most from home?:
His mom and dad. But he won't tell anyone that.
23) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?:
Cato's handwriting is sloppy chicken-scratch. It could be likened to how he speaks: brash and short, zero flourish.
24) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?:
Nope! He's a jerk 24/7!
25) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?:
Oh yes. When he came to Luceti he had only recently died (not that it really matters how LONG he was dead - dead is dead for him) and his aspirations of being a Victor had been shattered towards the end.
It took him some time but he's stopped wanting to try again - he's become at peace with his death in a rather unhealthy way.
26) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:
Erm...well it's both? The Battle Dome and the barrier around Luceti are very similar to the holograms used in the Capitol and the dome around the Arena of the Games. But Cato is from a mining district and it's wealthy but not very fancy. Practical. The Capitol really keep all their tech to themselves.
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?:
--
29) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
Heeee can fight and cook? Dats it.
30) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how?
None! This is going to be part of his development later tho.
31) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting?
Cato loves drafts. Loves, loves, loves them. And he kills without discrimination regarding his enemies. Sometimes he can go a little crazy while choppin' folks up but he's...fine.
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?
He's been on zero missions. Clove's the mission go-er but he's been checking the posts out waiting for something that sounds like he could be useful.
33) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?:
A year! It's had quite the effect on Cato. Taking him from a mostly catatonic ptsd sufferer to a ....less catatonic ptsd sufferer has taken time! But it's progress so...
34) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft?
Cato will sleep. A lot. Which means nightmares. A lot of them. Typically he'll try to lessen the impact by hanging out with Clove but it doesn't always work.
35) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked?
Cato came back from an experiment once with memories of having lived in Luceti his whole life. This meant he was already married to Clove, already had a child with her, was a little older. It really messed him up when he came out of it because Clove wouldn't talk to him about it.
Oh messed up babies...
36) Anything else you want to note?:
Nada!
