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.

Cata's one
Ginia Solana
2) Weight: 135
3) Eye color/Hair Color: Eye color and hair color are both dark brown. As a note, Ginia's PB has a birthmark in her right eye, Ginia does not have that. Ginia usually keeps her hair back in a ponytail or a tight bun if she's training or working, sometimes keeps it down if she's going about her day.
4) Age: 38, does look a bit older than her PB shows.
5) Physical features: Heavy scarring on her left arm from wrist up to elbow, burn scars and small cuts on her back (right side), one reason Ginia is almost always in long-sleeved shirts. Nose has been broken before so the bridge is a bit crooked. Overall frame is lean and with good muscle definition around her legs and arms.
6) Voice: N/A, but here is her PB's voice and what I would use for her voice if she ever speaks. For the voice for her phone, think of a voice like Siri or Google Now.
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: Ginia currently lives with Evan Brown. Since they're both pretty independent, there really isn't any division between chores. They both clean up after themselves, though Ginia's more likely to keep the kitchen clean and cook. Laundry is on an individual basis, though if one person is already doing a load, I imagine they combine.
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Ginia absolutely loves pizza and is really sad there's no good pizza in the village. After that it's definitely baked goods and sweets in general. Major sweet tooth, also likes fresh fruit, or things with a lot of flavor. Tastes lean toward Italian generally with Japanese food as a close second. Dislikes really spicy things or anything too bitter. Generally does most of the cooking mostly since she likes cooking.
9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: There’s a rough schedule that can be found here, but to expand:
-Usually an early riser, by 6 or so, though sometimes she sleeps in. Used to walk dogs with Kakashi, but now she lets Laika out in the morning, then goes on a longer walk in the afternoon after training.
-For New Feather restocking, she borrows a horse from the stables (she’s taking a liking to Babushka) and usually covers the two south of the village.
-Before heading in to work at HQ, that’s when Ginia gets all of her shopping and general errands done. Most days she’ll take a quick hour nap or go soak in the hot springs for a bit. Grocery shopping tends to be Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
-Works nights at HQ, usually eats dinner while she’s there. If things are pretty dead late into the night, she’ll head home early, otherwise she sticks it out.
10) Their general sense of fashion: Ginia’s icons give a fairly accurate representation of her fashion (short-sleeves aside). Usually in jeans or cargo pants, a button-down blouse or other nice casual top, jacket depending on the weather or what she’s doing that day. Tends to favor cool to neutral colors though has a few brightly colored things. Keeps a fairly professional appearance (clean, tidy) but also likes things she can move easily in.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Reading, listening to music, playing the piano, training, watching movies/TV shows on her laptop, and playing tablet games on her laptop are her usual hobbies. Since arriving in Luceti, she’s also dabbled a bit in gardening (to little success).
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: It’s definitely given her an interesting perspective on other worlds and situations in comparison to her world and situation. It’s also made her realize how much her world sucks, especially in comparison to other Earths. Overall, not too many changes in how she sees things.
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Ginia carries two things on her at all time: a boot knife and a Green Beret Knife. She also has a Glock 19, but she only takes it with her on drafts and otherwise keeps it locked up in her apartment, and a machete which is mission/draft use only.
14) Do they have any pets? Would these pets be at their homes, or do they hang out with the character in question?: Ginia has a border collie/Australian shepherd mix named Laika that’s super friendly and loves being pet. Most of the time Laika can be found alongside Ginia, though she stays at home when Ginia’s working or training.
15) Who are their neighbors?: Alas, no one on her floor. So lonely. Yoruichi lives on the floor above.
16) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? Evan Brown. Canonmate, partner in crime. They train together and goof off together and generally enjoy each other’s company without it being too stifling. After that it’s hard to say as there are a lot of people Ginia likes but doesn’t consider friends. Allies yes, friends no. (Give her more time, she’ll eventually come around on making friends.)
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? Nope.
18) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The hot springs, very relaxing and soothing, though she tries to go when there wouldn’t be too many people up there. Also likes the bakery and the coffee shop and usually pops by both places in the afternoons (baked goods and a hot chocolate). The Battle Dome is another place Ginia can be found at every day, either training or playing around in simulations.
19) Do they belong to any clubs or organizations? Which ones? Do they go regularly, or just occasionally? None at this point.
20) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Wings are dark blue with black flecks, she usually keeps them covered.
21) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: She’s put on some muscle weight from training, arms and legs especially.
22) What do they miss the most from home?: Ginia knew (and planned) on dying so there aren’t too many regrets in that regard, but with Evan here, she does miss other people from home. Erika, though she feels a lot of guilt in killing her partner. Avery, Lucian, and their kids since Ginia feels bad she was never able to meet her niece and nephew. Some locations, though she’s taken to recreating them in the Battle Dome. But she’s largely at peace with never seeing her world again.
23) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: Ginia’s handwriting is very neat and precise. Legible block letters, very little flourishes to keep it clear. She picks and chooses her words, but definitely speaks more casually around people she’s comfortable with.
24) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Not too many differences, though Ginia does put on a bit of a polite and kind front on the journals and in person. To people that know her a bit better, she lets that slide slightly or speaks more bluntly.
25) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Ginia died in her world and planned on going out dying, so she arrived in Luceti without any goals. Since then she’s slowly begun working on enjoying life and trying to be a better person.
26) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: The Battle Dome and teleporters are definitely an upgrade, but overall the village is pretty neutral. Running water, electricity, not much more she needs.
no subject
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 HQ? What's their attitude about and while drinking?: Ginia’s tastes go from really sweet cocktails to drinking Scotch. All depends on her mood. And while she likes gin-based drinks, due to all of the jokes people make with gin and her name, she distances herself from it. HQ is her preference, but she’s also one of the bartenders there. Definitely a social drinker and drinks heavily when depressed or stressed out, but never drinks to the point of getting drunk. She’s good at cutting herself off. (if she ever drinks to the point of getting drunk, there’s definitely other problems.)
29) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Really good piano player, excellent bartender and probably the only flair bartender in the village. Pretty good with languages too.
30) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? With help from various people (though especially Saori for Kipinn), Ginia can use magic via Nala and Kipinn. She’s also been learning swordfighting from Souji and gotten better at hand-to-hand combat from learning from Lee.
31) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? If ammo is plentiful, she’s usually providing long or mid-range support with a rifle. Otherwise she sticks to hit-and-run tactics or working with others to ambush people. She never attacks head-on unless she’s providing a distraction, and always fights to kill. Granted, she’ll use the scanners or incapacitate when possible, but she has no moral qualms over killing someone either.
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? Ginia hasn’t repeated a mission yet so there’s no real habit across them. Mostly she goes for a chance to see more of the world and try to learn new things about what’s going on. Her first round of points was so she could get her laptop, since then she’s not sure what she’s saving up for. But largely things that would benefit her or her friends/allies in some way.
33) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: Eight months as of August 7th. Being dead in her world and with a friend from home here, Ginia’s not eager to leave any time soon. Though losing a lot of close CR rattled her, she’s settled into the village and is honestly enjoying the break from her world. She’s mellowed out a little, though she’s begun wondering if she’s getting soft.
34) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? Ginia’s unfortunately a bottler and not being able to talk means she doesn’t have to talk unless she wants to. She tries to train things off or goes for long hikes out in the woods. Soaking in the hot springs is also an option.
35) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? On her first (and so far only) mallynapping, she was physically tortured (bones broken and skin flayed before being completely healed), underwent AUs showing what things could have been if she made different choices, and relieved some of her worst memories. It left her pretty rattled and there’s still a lot of things she mulls over (namely how her death could have been avoided). She didn’t mind the mistletoe that much, but otherwise hasn’t been through too many events.
36) Anything else you want to note?: Ginia is afraid of fire. If she knows fire will be there (like a known bonfire or something) or someone is building a campfire in front of her, then she can stay calm, but she’ll panic and even freeze up if she’s not expecting it.
