The Daily Life Meme
Friends, Lucetians, countrymen, lend me your ears! Once upon a time, Kyio (God rest her zombie bones) gave us a quaint little meme. Once again, more than a year has passed since it has been revisited, so awwwww here it goes...!
All you do is fill out the following survey! Now is the time to unleash all that tl;dr you've pent up for all this time. Let your fellow players know what your character gets up to in Luceti - hobbies, habits, hangouts, and more. Find out things you never knew about your CR! Find new cool cats to make CR with! Go, go, go!
As always, feel free to throw around IC or OOC responses and questions to each other. Have fun!
EDIT: Forgot Cloud Nine no longer exists, so I edited question 28 to include Seventh Heaven instead. WHOOPS.

Sarararararah's Derps
Ion
Around 5'6''-5'7''
2) Weight:
Between 115-120 pounds. He's still pretty much a stick.
3) Eye color/Hair Color:
Green hair and green eyes!
4) Age:
Currently 18 by Luceti's calender, and also the age he considers himself to be. Physically appears around 16, since Auldrant's years last twice as long, making him age slower. Chronologically he's only 5 and a half (about 11.5 Earth years).
5) Physical features:
He does look older than his icons show, since he's gotten taller and grown up a bit since he first arrived. His hair is currently much shorter, coming to just about his chin in length. He also has a series of faded vertical scars on his neck, left over from a bad mallynap.
6) Voice:
THIS WAS HARDER TO MAKE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE but I took two clips from the Japanese version of the game and lowered the pitch a bit to about how he'd sound in Luceti now, thanks to puberty and all. For contrast, his voice in the game is much higher, and even more so in the English version of the game!
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?:
Ion lives in House One, along with a good chunk of the Abyss cast: Nephry, Anise, Luke, Natalia, Tear, and Jade. Ion does a few set chores around the house, like dusting and giving Colonel a bath (the dog -- not the scary troll who lives upstairs). He also helps with other things sometimes when he can, like setting the table for dinner and helping with the dishes.
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?:
Ion's favorite foods are basically anything Anise cooks, but he's especially fond of boxed lunches. He also really likes milkshakes, but doesn't drink them very often since they make him sick to his stomach. He's not terribly picky, so he doesn't really have a least favorite food. Anise, Tear, and Nephry probably do most of the cooking. Natalia is banished from the kitchen, and Ion is only allowed to cook under supervision.
9) What they do during an average day in Luceti:
On mornings when he can get up early enough, he goes for a walk/jog with Colonel around the northern part of the village. If there's school, he'll go there for at least half of the day, if not the full day. He usually has lunch with Kohan and the spends some time reading, usually while watching Kohan train
and then he gets no actual reading done. Sometimes he goes and trains with Cliff, or spends some time at either the library or the tea shop. He likes to make it back to House One in time for dinner, and after that he usually stays in until it's time for bed. On weekends, he might spend the evening watching movies with Kohan, and sometimes spends the night with him.10) Their general sense of fashion:
Ion prefers loose-fitting tunics over leggings or pants. He doesn't like to show a lot of skin, so even in the summer he might be wearing loose long-sleeve shirts and leggings under his shorts. He's grown out of the habit of wearing his robes around Luceti, mostly because they've gotten short on him -- but he does have a few fantasy-ish outfits that look similar in style. Usually he prefers muted or toned-down colors, but he does have a few fancy outfits, such as the one given to him by Perona for his birthday. Also, during the winter he wears about 20 sweaters at any given time because he doesn't do too well in the cold.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?:
Reading is Ion's main hobby in Luceti, but he's also tried to start playing the piano a little bit, since House One still has the one Dist got from the Malnosso. He's also taken to training thanks to Cliff, though most of it just involves a lot of jogging to try and work up his stamina, especially after he was so sick the year before and lost the use of his legs for awhile.
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?:
The biggest change for Ion is how he views his own life and mortality. Prior to Luceti, he never really viewed his own life as "important" in the sense that it ultimately didn't matter whether he lived or died. He used to think he could only live so long as he was fulfilling some kind of purpose. In Luceti, that purpose became living for the sake of others. But over time, he's now gotten to the point where he lives simply because he wants to live, which also comes with a nice, healthy fear of dying.
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:
He has a staff used for channeling fonic artes, but he doesn't carry it with him on a regular basis.
14) Do they have any pets? Would these pets be at their homes, or do they hang out with the character in question?:
Colonel is a shiba inu given to Tear by the Malnosso for Christmas, and he's basically become House One's pet. Ion is very fond of him, and in return, he's very protective of Ion.
15) Who are their neighbors?:
WOW most of the houses surrounding House One are empty now, how sad. Their closest neighbors are Kratos and the Sailor Moon cast, but he doesn't really know them.
16) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?
Ion's best friend in Luceti is also his boyfriend, Kohan, and he practically spends everyday with him, for at least a little while. They usually has lunch together and then spend time just being with each other or watching movies together
and then maybe they make-out a little if Ven isn't home. His next best friend would be Anise, aka his bff on Auldrant. They probably spend most of their time together talking, or maybe Anise can try and give him cooking lessons or somethingspoilers: they won't work, he's cursed. And of course, special mention goes to Nephry, who is so beyond being a best friend that he actually considers her his mother.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?
It's very hard to get on Ion's bad side. He probably still struggles to get along with Arietta though, mostly because she still thinks he's his original and all. And even though it's never been threaded for obvious reasons, he doesn't quite get Hoshikyo, who nicknamed him Princess after an unfortunate conversation in the library one time.
18) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:
The library, the tea shop, school, and Seventh Heaven. He also spends a lot of time at or around House 39, outside the barracks (usually while with Kohan), or up on Cherry Blossom Hill. There's also a small clearing slightly northwest of House One with a lot of flowers that he visits often when the weather is nice.
19) Do they belong to any clubs or organizations? Which ones? Do they go regularly, or just occasionally?
He goes to school regularly, but that's about it! He's a pretty good student and offers to help tutor others whenever they need help. Except for Art. He sucks at that.
20) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?:
His wings are green with a very slight marbling texture when seen up close. He almost never has his wings out, and keeps them tucked under his clothes even around the house. On days when it's just too hot for that, he'll still keep them tucked close to his body.
21) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?:
I think about this stuff a lot if it wasn't already obvious. He's gotten a few inches taller, and is now almost the same height as Luke. He's also gotten a lot leaner, and due to various circumstances he also has a number of scars on his body: a series of several long and thin vertical scars around his neck, a long jagged diagonal cut from his shoulder and across his back, and a few smaller ones on his arm and his knees.
22) What do they miss the most from home?:
The people of Auldrant. He never wants to forget all the kind people he met, and every so often he realizes he's forgotten something like the sound of someone's voice, or the look of someone's face. He also misses the world itself, and the one time he tried recreating it in the Battledome, it was too painful for him to stay longer than a few minutes (and for the curious -- the Cathedral in Daath is almost completely recreated as a simulation in the Battledome, save for the headquarters below).
23) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?:
Ion has an very neat, cursive script that was painstakingly practiced to perfectly mimic the writing of the original Ion. There's little difference between how he sounds in writing and how he sounds when speaking, though the former may sound a bit more formal at times.
24) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?:
No difference at all!
25) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?:
Seeing as he lost any possibility of having goals back on Auldrant when he died, his only goals in Luceti have become to live his life the way he wants. He'd like to say his goal is to live long enough to truly come of age, but he knows that making a goal like that is hard in a place like Luceti.
26) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:
Auldrant's technology is so messed up it's honestly hard to say for sure. For the most part, it's probably an upgrade, but given the variety of technology on Auldrant (both modern and from the Dawn age) he probably adapted to it all pretty easily.
27) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?:
His favorite class is world sharing, since he loves learning about all the different sorts of worlds out there, and talking about Auldrant isn't something he has many opportunities to do. His least favorite class is art, because he's frustratingly bad at it -- he draws like his true age, basically. His behavior in school is basically model-student, though he skips school a lot because he gets sick at least once a month.
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?:
Ion doesn't drink. Bad things happened the last time he got drunk because of the Malnosso.
29) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
If abilities count as special talents, his Daathic Fonic Artes are extremely potent artes that only he can use. I also like to headcanon that he has a beautiful singing voice, but he hasn't had much opportunity to use it.
30) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how?
He's learned how to use Nala's healing magic, which doesn't put the same strain on his body that fonic artes do, even if it's not as potent.
31) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting?
Ion is much more focused on defending others than outright fighting, but he's not against killing if it's what needs to be done to save an ally. He can't bring himself to completely ignore the fighting so long as his friends are still out there on the battlefield.
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?
Ion hasn't gone on missions often, but the one time he did go, it was at least partially to try and forget something that was bothering him before he went. He used the points along with others from House One to upgrade the house so it would be big enough for the rest of the cast at the time.
33) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?:
Ion's been in Luceti for about 4 years now, and he's changed and developed a lot. He knows every day spent here is a day living on borrowed time, and in that sense, he almost feels grateful to whatever power it is keeping him here.
34) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft?
He spends some time alone, or seeks out someone he feels he can talk to, like Nephry. If it's especially bad and left him feeling depressed, he might go to Seventh Heaven and binge on milkshakes to forget his troubles. If neither of the above work, he can also just try and force himself to suppress those feelings, but this is hardly the healthiest option.
35) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked?
Worst experience was the time the Malnosso put a shift on his body to slowly contaminate his fonons with Miasma. It was extremely painful, and he completely lost the ability to walk for a number of months. It would have gone on to kill him if not for the abilities of a number of healers in the village. As for ones he actually liked... well, one time they sent him back and he actually felt healthier than he had before. But that's probably it.
36) Anything else you want to note?:
KOHAN MADE HIM A MAN.Also this is way too long wow.
