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.

1) Height: (either canon/current height or just a guess)

2) Weight: (either canon/current weight or just a guess)

3) Eye color/Hair Color: (also add whether the color is supposed to look/represent another color (IE: hair looks blue, is supposed to represent black) or was dyed or ... whatever)

4) Age: (Also note if they're supposed to look younger/older than they are)

5) Physical features: (Anything that stands out about them, especially if the icons don't seem to show it)

6) Voice: (either link to a clip, choose a character/actor's voice you think your character sounds like (for those who don't have VAs or actual actors) or just type out what you think they'd sound like -- whatever way you wanna go about it.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1) Height: 5'5" (165 cm) canonly, but since he's been around for a while, let's go with 5'9" (175 cm). That might be as tall as he's going to get. :'|

2) Weight: Probably a little less than average for someone his height and age.

3) Eye color/Hair Color: Green eyes, red hair.

4) Age: Eighteen.

5) Physical features: Nothing unusual!

6) Voice: No VA. I imagine his voice is on the deeper side of things now, but not super deep. He speaks pretty casually (and ~~occasionally~~ sleepily).

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: He lives with his brother Albert Silverberg (

chikaidestroyer) and Raine Sage (

wise_maiden). He generally sticks to doing his own chores (things that involve him or his dog), though he likes to help out his housemates with their chores and general household duties... when he feels like it. Or when Albert makes him.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Anything that reminds him of Gregminster! He has a fondness for sweets and doesn't care too much for vegetables, but he isn't the pickiest eater and will eat whatever's there. That's because Albert does most of the cooking! Caesar can cook, too, but he generally prefers not to. Still, he'll volunteer every now and then to cook, or at least help out whoever is cooking that day.

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Stay at home, read, sleep when he feels like it, play with his dog, help out around the house or in the stables...! Whatever he feels like doing. He likes to change things up when he's bored, which can end up in going for walks (sometimes with Kogoro, sometimes not), and when it's warm outside, he likes to lie down in the grass and probably sleep. Probably.

10) Their general sense of fashion: Pretty simple. He likes anything that's comfortable, so t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, cotton pants... He likes wearing his jacket a lot when he goes out, and he usually wears boots over regular shoes. He really likes the color green on things.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: He likes to sleep. A lot. He likes to read, but only when it's something that's interesting to him. These are hobbies he's always had! In Luceti, he's also kind of learned the "joys" of having a pet, so spending time with Kogoro is kind of a hobby, too.

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: In general, Caesar is pretty stuck in his ways! But he's kind of matured in a few ways, too. He tries to be more understanding (especially of his brother, despite the fact that they don't agree on a lot of things) and in general, he tries to be more responsible. He's still really lazy, certainly, but he doesn't quite resist to being helpful and responsible every now and then, either.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He has a small knife that he keeps with him, courtesy of Sigmund a long time ago. He usually has it with him, since it's easy to conceal and not in the way of anything. He's been taking lessons for swordplay from Leonhardt (

eyesofstrength), but there's probably nothing too special about the sword he uses, aside from the fact that Leonhardt helped him choose it. He doesn't carry it with him unless he's going to the battle dome to practice.

14) Who are their neighbors?: Yuri, Naoi, and Yotsuba in House 40; Okita, Ayumu, Homura, and Hijikata in House 50. CH7 is also right down the road!

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? ...well, Caesar doesn't really do best friends. :| But he likes to keep up with his acquaintances to some extent! He doesn't check in on people regularly, but he does when he can. You know. Over the journals or through random encounter.

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Um. The house. :| He doesn't mind going to the library from time to time, and he likes to frequent the bakery.

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: His wings are white, and in general, he just ignores them. ...even if they kind of get in the way when he sleeps, and that's annoying.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: He's grown a bit taller since coming to Luceti! And he's totally proud of it. :| He tries to keep his hair trimmed but... effort...

19) What do they miss the most from home?: Home! He misses Gregminster and the Toran Republic. He might miss the castle a little bit, too, and everyone inside it. (Except Lilly, of course.) While he didn't exactly like everyone, he was fond of the castle in his own way.

20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: His handwriting is a little messy, though he can write nicely if he feels like it. He usually writes the way he talks, unless he has a lot to say in which case he might try to shorten things up a bit.

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Nope, he's pretty much the same.

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: He hasn't lost any personal goals since coming to Luceti, but it's okay since he didn't have many to begin with! He did sort of gain one, though, and it's personal improvement—just trying to better himself in little ways.

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's an upgrade! He doesn't really know much about it except for the stuff he has to deal with, like electricity and electric appliances, but he's adapted well enough.

~~24) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?:~~ N/A

~~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?:~~ N/A

26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He doesn't really have any! He's really smart, so I guess that kind of counts.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? He taught himself how to cook, learned horseback riding from Albert, and he's currently learning swordplay thanks to Leonhardt. I think that's about it! He likes to read up on things that might be useful (like medicine, for example) and tries to soak up as much information as he can on the subjects, but he's still learning. His reason for learning these things (and anything he might learn in the future) is simple—he learns things that he thinks will be useful to him.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? Caesar likes to help out with the drafts by providing some kind of organization—he likes to set up groups so that people aren't running around aimlessly, sets objectives, and gives advice both to fighting groups and people fighting on their own. He prefers to avoid fighting and generally stay out of harm's way. He would probably kill if he had to (that is, if his life was in danger), but he's definitely been lucky in that regard and hasn't had any close encounters.

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 any missions! Originally, that was mostly because he was (unsure) about them, but Albert sort of convinced him that it might be something for him to consider someday. So... you know. Someday.

30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: He arrived in Luceti on August 5, 2009, so he's been here for two years and eight months...! His feelings on Luceti are kind of complicated. He doesn't like it and he'd much rather be home, but he doesn't like the idea of going home while his brother is still here, and he worries that things won't be the same with his brother once they leave. So while he doesn't quite want to stay, he likes how things are here, and he hopes that they'll stay that way.

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? Caesar likes to just... relax. Sleep in, maybe go out for something to eat, come back and lay around. Not very different from any other day, besides like... skipping chores.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? The first AU event might have been the roughest, if only because of all the other stuff that was going on around that time. That was also one that really affected him personally, while he's usually indifferent to experiments and kidnappings. One he actually liked would probably be the Total Recall event from... not last December, but the one before it. Because he got to run around and be an irresponsible five-year-old with a doting big brother. Best thing ever.

33) Anything else you want to note?: Nope! Feel free to ask me things?!
