The Daily Life Meme
THE DAILY LIFE MEME
GREETINGS LUCETIANS. Long ago, on a distant server, Kyio once unleashed a pleasant meme. But then it's been over a year and yeah, we need to do it again. It's sort of like an info survey.
Well it's back, with new questions! And thanks to Dreamwidth's generous comment character count, these might even fit into a single comment! It's a 33 question survey/meme about your characters and their experiences and developments in Luceti. It'll give you a better idea of where your characters are at and let other people get a good sense of what your character is like and up to. It can make for interesting stuff, really.
Feel free to respond to each other's tags with IC or OOC responses, questions, or what have you. Have fun!
Mithos Yggdrasill
2) Weight:
Somewhere around 100-105 lbs. Underweight due to sporadic eating habits that tend to coincide with his mood - the past two months have not been good in this regard, what with Martel taking ill and then getting kidnapped. ...Clearly, he needs to visit Sayo more to be properly fed.
3) Eye color/Hair Color:
Blue eyes (despite what some of his icons may indicate), blonde hair.
4) Age:
Over 4000 (old as balls), but about 15 in appearance now.
5) Physical features:
He has a fair amount of scars all over his body, but all the really bad ones (including from two fatal injuries) are on his torso so no one will ever see them; scars on his arms are a lot more faded but still visible. He also has pointy elf ears, but these are covered by his hair at all times. He's recently been returned from having his death penalty (loss of nerve feeling in one leg) removed and he's still recovering, so he has a limp and walks around with a crutch.
6) Voice:
Listen here (spoilers?? because uhhh final battle??), and here (also spoilers l-lol), or here (more spoilers, surprise). Ooh, skip ahead in that same clip to hear bb sounding like he's about to cry. :')
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?:
He lives with his dear sister Martel...and seeing as she's been kidnapped, all the chores have been on him. Prior to this, however, she likely did a bulk of the workload because bum legs are not conducive to most household chores. He would help, though, of course.
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?:
He doesn't have many strong food preferences one way or the other. He likes your basic meat/fish, veggies, grains, fruit, etc. Nothing too out of the ordinary, and he can't handle spicy foods. He still mostly sees eating as on obstacle, just something that needs to be done so the body can function -- after spending 4000 years in a practically flawless
(in sooo many ways /eyebrow waggle)machine of a body, having to eat is so banal. When he cooks, it's fairly simple dishes. And when Martel is around and well, they probably cook together.9) What they do during an average day in Luceti:
He spends most of his time holed up in his house, thinking and brooding and moping and all that. In the past week or so he's been diligently working at rehabilitating his leg. Other activities include playing on Martel's panpipes, reading, and.......a return to gardening (see more on hobbies below). A few times a week, he goes to spend time with Kaori. He thinks about contacting Sayo more often but he's still really awkward about that. Once a week he emerges to run errands, which generally includes a trip to the grocery store, library, and flower shop.
10) Their general sense of fashion:
Terrible. NEXT QUESTION. .........Okay, I'll answer for real. But it really is pretty awful. Half of his clothes in Luceti might actually be girls' clothes, unwittingly, and I wouldn't be surprised. This is what he wears in canon and his wardrobe doesn't deviate too wildly from that. Well-fitted (i.e. tight lmao) pants, various tops (fitted to his torso but perhaps flowy on bottom or in the arms), jackets, shawls, cloaks. He tends to wear a lot of white and cool colors (blues, purples, greens), but other colors aren't toally absent. Always wears boots. ...I decided a while ago that he's awful enough to find Ugg boots appealing (clearly the greatest sin he's ever committed), and he probably wears those around the house (but at least he doesn't wear them outside). And of course ~bracelets~, at least one and no more than two on each wrist, in a variety of colors. He's amassed quite the collection. Quite the fabulous collection.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?:
He plays his sister's panpipes a lot, because he finds the music to be soothing in its familiarity and connection to, well, his sister. He's been playing for, ohhh, about 4000 years -- she might have taught him a little bit while she was alive, but he didn't really pick it up until after she died. So he pretty much learned her repertoire by ear. Took a while, but he had no shortage of time or devotion. Recently, he's been getting back into gardening, which...is something he hadn't done since he lived in Heimdall long long ago. Not only does he help Kaori with her garden, but he's been working on fixing up the garden at his and Martel's house while she's gone; he wants it to be nice for her when she returns. Nevermind that he's the one who destroyed it after she was sent home the last time.
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?:
Hahaha oh dear. When he first came to Luceti a year and half ago after being betrayed, run into a corner, brought down, and killed, he was very deeply in the mindset of never trusting anyone again because he could only trust himself. And now he's slowly been learning to trust Kaori and Sayo, two whole people who are distinctly not his sister, and one of which is even a human. Huge changes, man.
In...less uplifting news, Luceti basically makes him question his whole existence. No big deal. This has been building up especially in the past half year or so, and it stems from a lot of different things. He has no tangible goals to strive for, and he has a lot of confusion over where his priorities should be and what exactly he wants. When he was leading Cruxis and had the world in the palm of his hand, what kept him going was the belief that he would be happy again once he revived Martel and initiated his Age of Lifeless Beings (essentially creating the perfect world for him and his sister to live in). Now that he knows Martel didn't want any of that, he has to ask himself what the point was, becasue he pretty much spent 4000 years hating everything and being angry, depressed, and lonely for no reason. He doesn't know what to think about all that. Also, he's starting to see that not all humans fit into his concept of what a human is like and he's struggling with trying to figure that out. ...Basically, a lot of his self-delusions are crumbling apart and self-awareness hurts. It's like he's experiencing his own messed-up version of Plato's 'allegory of the cave'.
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:
Not at the moment, actually. He hasn't possessed a sword since Yuan killed him back in mid October. Soon, though......soon.
14) Who are their neighbors?:
Mithos doesn't know and he doesn't care. :|a But he lives in house 52, sooo...whoever lives in houses 51, 53, and 56, it looks like.
15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?
HALFLING BFF KAORI. He generally sees her a couple times a week, and they spend their time gardening (he is a manly man like that) or just hanging out and talking (probably either outside or at his house?). Yup. Then of course there's mama Sayo, but he doesn't spend nearly as much time with her as he should because he's still really herpderp about contacting her.
16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:
His house. 8| He doesn't like being at places where people are. But he likes being outside and away from the village too.
17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?:
His wings are grey, and his clothes are adjusted to accommodate them...because shoving them into clothes is uncomfortable. However, he is very cautious with them (especially after having one broken...and then both of them torn out), which just adds onto his suspicion and paranois when he's out and about in the village. CONSTANT VIGILANCE...! ALso his general attitude about them is that they are very inconvenient and very degrading, because they're similar in appearance to the sort of wings lesser angels of Cruxis would have.
18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?:
Well he started out at 5'0" and 90 lbs, sooo...yeah. He still has a ways to go, though. He tends to keep his hair about the same length as it's been...it has something to do with being stuck in the past and wanting to appear the same to Martel. When he starts growing more, he'll probably let go of that notion becasue it's not like he'll look the same as when she died anyway.
19) What do they miss the most from home?:
Nothing. He's dead there and even if he was alive he wouldn't have anything left that makes life worth living. :|
20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?:
Something like this. Neat, loopy, ornamented, kind of girly. He tends to use more formal language when he writes as opposed to when he talks, although formality is not foreign in his speech (it depends on who he's talking to and what his mood is).
21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?:
N....o...? Well he can't attack anyone from over the journal, I suppose.
22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?:
He already had all of his hopes and dreams crushed in his own world. :') Luceti is an improvement insofar as creating the possibility for Martel to return to him...and she did! The problem, however, is that he has no agency in whether or not she stays and whether or not she appears again if that happens. Also, turning everyone to lifeless beings is not a feasible goal here, which is unfortunate because then he has to deal with living among humans and it is awful on so many levels.
23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:
Mithos is accustomed to a high level of technology and a lot of the things he's familiar with are not available in Luceti, but at the same time there is a fair amount of technology in Luceti that he isn't familiar with. So it evens out in a way. Maybe. Some things like certain electronics or appliances weird him out, but he's fairly quick at learning how to use many of these if it's necessary.
24) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?: Not applicable.
25) 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?: Not applicable.
26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
He possesses extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs and traditional remedies, which he learned from his sister while growing up. Considering that he only bothers utilizing this knowledge to help a very, very select group of people...it's kind of a waste. Haha. And the obvious (so obvious I neglected to even mention it originally lmasod), he is a highly skilled swordsman and mage. Unfortunately, without his Cruxis Crystal or even an ordinary Exsphere, his body isn't physically capable of performing anywhere near the peak of his ability (more so in magic than in swordsmanship).
27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how?
The power of friendship. :| I'm only half-joking. 8| Okay but seriously...no, he hasn't. He is somewhat interested in the filial spirits but at the same time he's kind of wary because they're uncannily similar to Summon Spirits and there's all the equal partnership jazz that doesn't really jive with him anymore.
28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting?
He has no problem with killing as many enemies as possible. Even if they're already dying, he'll deliver a final blow to make sure they're good and dead. ...He also wouldn't have any problem with going after certain other villagers if the opportunity presented itself. While on a draft, he prefers to remain a loner or stick close with the rare person he trusts/cares about, if applicable.
29) 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 hasn't been on a mission yet, as they only became a thing while he had a bum leg...and I'm not sure if he ever plans to be on one. He would if he could use his points to get something liiiike an Exsphere or Cruxis Crystal but OOCly I have great trepidation over that. 8|
30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?:
It will be a year and a half come May. Wow. The longer he stays, the more he realizes how much he doesn't want to leave. Not only is he dead back in his own world, but he has a few great things going for him here: his sister, a friend who understands him, and someone who accepts him as he is. So...no, he doesn't want to lose any of that.
31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft?
After brutal experiments, which usually means the ones that mess with his head and change his personality/thoughts/etc., he mopes around and broods extra hard. Many times, his initial reaction is usually to call up on Kaori and talk to her becasue it helps him feel better. Oooor sometimes he'll cry like a little bitch (see the recent AU experiment), and THEN mope and brood extra hard. After the initial burst of being upset/angry, he'll try to calm himelf down by playing the panpipes and meditating on the music.
32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked?
Worst kidnapping experience was when he was taken in and experimented on to collect data on his physical state (having been semi-immortal previously but no longer) and things in relation to that. He returned worse for the wear and was shortly apprehended and imprisoned by Yuan, Sheena, and Raine. Thanks guys. Worst experiment...just...all the ones that alter his personality or mind, basically. In retrospect, good things have come out of that in the past (like growing closer to Sayo), but he just hates all the confusion and weirdness that goes with it. He would prefer to remain unchallenged in his little corner of the world.
33) Anything else you want to note?:
Uhhhh I have all the headcanon ever and those of you on my plurk know I like to ramble up a storm but I should really go...work on my homework. :I
