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!
Xion
1) Height: I forget what I settled on. I think 5'4"!
2) Weight: Around 115 lbs. She's on the thin side for her height and build, which is mostly muscle!
3) Eye color/Hair Color: Her icons are accurate for this. Jet black hair, bright blue eyes.
4) Age: Physically and mentally, she's 17, and looks it. Technically, she's only 3 and a half or so.
5) Physical features: Again, her icons are mostly correct for this, except for one major thing: her hair! It's quite a bit longer than most of her icons show, and mostly these days she keeps it up in a loose braid, or a french braid if she's working or training. She's also got some scars here and there, notably one that goes from her hip to her shoulder, in a diagonal slash across her torso - but you can't see that, most of the time. If she wears sleeveless dressed, which she does in the summer, you can see the last half-inch of it peeking over the top, usually. There's also an old, faded scar on her right arm where it was once very badly broken and not healed correctly.
6) Voice: Youtube link! Let's just say I know this entire scene almost by heart and can recite the lines before they're said. Let's just say that that's a thing.
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: Right now she lives with Roxas, Kairi, and Riku. Their house has gotten a lot smaller. :c Xion likes to cook, and does, sometimes. (Something she gets from her dad.) I sort of like to imagine that she and Kairi nudge Roxas and Riku into taking on chores when it's necessary.
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Her favorite food is basically anything Sanji has ever made for her. She doesn't like sour things. She tends to prefer simple dishes over complex ones. She's not a huge fan of meat, but will eat it just the same. And see above for cooking.
9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Xion stays busy. She works at the clinic, goes to school regularly, trains with the Kyoshi warriors, and is in the SOS Brigade. To some extent it's a coping mechanism - keeping busy keeps her from being sad if bad things happen. But when she's okay, she genuinely enjoys everything she does! (I mean, this is the girl who seriously, on the ONE day of vacation given out of DOZENS of consecutive days of working, decided the best use of her precious little time off was to ... work, by way of training for hours. 8|)
10) Their general sense of fashion: Xion never wears her canon uniform anymore. She only would if it were an experiment, or she was making constant use of her darkness corridors - but even then, she'd only wear the coat, and not the rest of the ensemble. She likes pretty colors - sometimes bright, sometimes pastel - and floral patterns. She tends to dress in a way that's very soft and feminine, a big contrast from when she first arrived in Luceti, but if she's working at the clinic or training, you can find her in pretty practical stuff - usually a tank or t-shirt (or long-sleeved shirt if it's cold) and pants, mostly in black. That's a holdover from her Organization days.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: All of her hobbies are from Luceti, except for one - sea shell collecting was something she developed back home. Baking is a hobby for her. Music has become something of a hobby too, though not a serious one by any means. She likes doing crafts, usually as gifts, and will work on little things every so often - jewelry being her favorite thing to tinker with, though she almost never wears the pieces she makes. She doesn't think they're very good.
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: She thinks of herself as a real person now, and not just a Replica. If the topic were to come up, she'd react pretty strongly - not get upset, but rather, stand up for herself, and get angry, instead. She's a lot more self-confident than she used to be.
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She uses her swaxe a lot. For a while she was working with a bow, but gave it up when her teachers left the village. She doesn't always carry her swaxe with her, having learned how to capably fight hand-to-hand, but she will if for some reason she feels the threat level is raised (like a particular experiment going on, or an enemy on the loose).
14) Who are their neighbors?: Houses 13 and 7 are 14's most immediate neighbors. But Xion doesn't know them very well! She's much more fond of house 6, which is where her dad lives.
15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? Roxas is her bff for life, and she spends a lot of time with him - more than she used to, before Axel and Sora went home. Luke and Sanji, her boyfriend and father, respectively, are also people she sees a lot of. Otherwise she's not too selective with her friends; outside of those three, she'll spend time with all her friends as much as she's able, fairly equally.
16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Xion is kind of all over the place, between all the things she's involved in. Probably the most memorable spot in all of Luceti for her is the bridge near house 14. A TON of things have happened to her there - she met Wolfwood there during one horrific Halloween, got chased there by a demonic Naoki (and fell off!), confessed her feelings to Luke there, went there to think when she hit her lowest, darkest point ever (when she was thinking it'd be better if she went home - and died - than stayed), was just leaving there the night Vanitas attacked and almost killed her... A CRAZY ASSORTMENT OF STUFF. Memories are very important to her, so she goes there a lot of she needs to think, associating it in her mind with all the things that have happened to her in this place.
17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Her wings are violet! She has made adjustments to all her clothes so that her wings can fit through them. She hates having her wings stuck under cloth - it makes her very uncomfortable. Xion is very expressive with her wings, and I really ought to note it with her tags more - they often betray what she's feeling emotionally if she's not saying it, or will punctuate her statements, all with little twitches, flutters, flaps, and so forth.
18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: She grew about two inches. And, as noted earlier, her hair is much longer now! She grew out of all the baby fat she had around her face, too. She definitely looks like a young woman these days.
19) What do they miss the most from home?: 8| Maybe the ability to travel between worlds. But there is nothing about The Castle That Never Was that Xion truly misses.
20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: Her handwriting is very neat and a little curly. It used to be kind of block print-ish, but she slowly stylized it as she got older. Xion is pretty forthright in the way she communicates no matter what the medium, so the way she writes is pretty similar to how she talks. It's just more deliberate.
21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Nope. See above! Xion is pretty much just Xion. When she needs to hide things, she will, though she's never been 100% terrific at it, but otherwise, she tends to sound the same pretty much no matter what! She can - or used to - be shy, but she'd express that the same way over the journals as she would in person. It would take a pretty exceptional circumstance to make her act more shy or scared or something in person than over the journal - like something really embarrassing, or a really dangerous person, respectively.
22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Well, Xion always wanted to be real. And in her two and a half years here, she's basically decided she is! That was a life goal. These days she just dreams of the future.
23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: I think it's a downgrade, but it wouldn't have made a real impact either way. TWTNW was a really spartan sort of place, with very little in the way of amenities. So Luceti was probably a technological step back, but a major overall step up! I mean, they have sunlight here.
24) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?: Xion likes writing and reading, as those are her real strengths, and enjoys that class a lot. She also favors art, music, and magic. Her least favorite class has always been world sharing, mostly because her world is kind of horrible and talking about it tends to invite questions. She's gotten a little less defensive about it over the years, but she still doesn't talk about it unless she has to for some reason.
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?: 8|
26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Like other darkness-associated people from her world, Xion can make use of darkness corridors - literal hallways between worlds carved out from the darkness that exists all around. Of course, she can't move between worlds here, but she does use the corridors, often referred to as portals, to move around the enclosure itself. The downside is that too much exposure to darkness can taint a person's heart, after a while - that's why the Organization wears those funny coats. But a few trips won't hurt you (there are a few times in canon when people go through corridors without protection fro darkness), and she doesn't always wear her coat to traverse the darkness.
... also, she can sing! 8D Xion has a lovely singing voice.
27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? Hand-to-hand combat is a new one for her. She never knew anything about it back home, so it was a brand new and difficult thing for her to learn here! But she's really grown into it. New types of magic are also in her arsenal, thanks to some training from BBS folks. Finally, she does know her way around archery, though it's not her forte. Cooking is also something she only picked up in Luceti.
28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? Xion struggles with killing people. She hates it, but she's growing ever more numb to it as time passes by. She favors area-of-effect spells to knock out or disable enemies. Often she'll go after their wings, rather than kill them directly - it's really as good as killing them, but she doesn't have to see their faces when they die, that way. She was quite literally created to be a weapon and a soldier, so she's not averse to fighting by any means - but the unpleasantness of killing is hard for her. What she has started to do is default to a field medic position - she knows medicine, magic, herbal remedies, you name it - this girl has studied it.
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? She's only gone on one so far, though she definitely wants to do more. She favors missions where she can serve in a medic role. Her goal is to win some of the shift- and kidnapping-related items and give them to her friends; though some additions to the house would be nice!
30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: Xion arrived in November of 2009. So she's been here for ... a very long time! Right about two and a half years, now.
31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? It really depends on the thing. But mostly, she tends to throw herself into her work and her duties. She'll take on extra shifts at the clinic, or work much harder in school - anything she can take to distract her from her thoughts. Dwelling has never been good for her. But sometimes she'll just shut down, and when that happens, she'll just stay home for a few days, and usually attach herself to Roxas's side, saying little and not straying far from him at all.
32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? One of the worst kidnappings she ever went through was one where the Malnosso fucked with the memories embedded in her, and made her look like she had Sora's face. It was horrifying for her, and when she came home she kept trying to hide, convinced she still looked like him. Experiment wise, Halloween 2010 was one of the worst. The family AU experiment was both one of the best and one of the worst experiences for her. She got to have a childhood, a real one, and real parents, and Luke even proposed to her! But none of it was real, and she ended up feeling very bitter about all of it afterwards. These days she looks back on it with a sort of rueful nostalgia and mixed fondness.
33) Anything else you want to note?: Xion's changed a lot as she's gotten older. She's not the same girl anymore! And that's always kind of a strange thing for a roleplayer - you wonder a lot about how much your portrayal should stack up against canon. But she's been in Luceti longer than she lived in her canon - her game takes place over the course of less than a year. So if she sounds different now, I'm pretty much okay with that! I will probably soon be swapping out some of her icons for ones where she has longer hair, and adding a few of my own making where she looks older.
Also, Sanji is her adoptive father. It's kind of a big deal for them both! But it only gets casually mentioned, at best.
Medicine is a big deal for her. It's become a big focus of her life - she takes her work at the clinic extremely seriously, and is always trying to teach herself more about many different styles of healing. She's still proficient in combat, but as time passes, she's started to shift more and more towards a support/medical role, because she likes to help people - not to mention it makes her feel like she's being useful.
