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.)

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?:

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: (IE. A character who couldn't stand poor people in canon now is more tolerant of them due to circumstances in Luceti, so on)

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:

14) Who are their neighbors?:

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?

Because I like to talk about ~~myself~~ my characters.

Edited 2012-04-26 03:07 (UTC)

1) Height: Five foot nine; five foot ten with the boots on.

2) Weight: A lot of muscle and no fat...probably a solid 165 lbs or so.

3) Eye color/Hair Color: Blue eyes, dark blonde hair.

4) Age: I usually peg him around 36 (Random fact: JBJ was 42 when he did the role)

5) Physical features: ...other than looking like Bon Jovi? Not really. I head-canoned a low-lying scar that follows the line of his right hip, but that's it.

6) Voice: ...Like Bon Jovi.

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: Currently, he's on his own, so does the chores. He's not a neat freak, but he keeps things pretty clean.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) food Coffee (hey, that's a food group, right?). He's not really big on sweets and junk food though--he has a few select deserts he likes, and pizza, but that's about it. You won't find him at the local taco bell unless he's desperate.

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Jogs/trains in the early morning, divides his time between the clinics during the day (about 4 hours at eahc place), and then goes to work at Cloud Nine at night as a performer/bus boy. Spare time can be spent doing anything from playing guitar to wandering the woods. He also makes a point of working with the filial spirits at least twice a week, although the only constant time is usually Sunday morning.

10) Their general sense of fashion: Jeans, cowboy boots, simple leather jackets and either t-shirts or button down shirts. I figure he knows how to dress up, but usually won't unless there's something specific he's dressing up for.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Surfing, guitar, hunting, cooking, mechanic. All of these are pre-Luceti. For a while, during his first visit, he had a veggie garden, but he hasn't picked that back up.

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: He's always been pretty easy going. I think the only difference is that he tends to leave obvious 'bad guys' alone if he knows about them, simply because of the nature of Luceti. Getting into a non-stop round of violence with someone isn't worth it.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He has a lot of weapons, but usually what he keeps on him is the dagger Buffy gave to him, a hunting knife, his 9mm, his sword, and sometimes a few wooden stakes hidden inside his jacket.

14) Who are their neighbors?:
As far as I know, he still has floor six in community building six to himself.

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? Buffy. At this point, she's the only one he feels close enough to honestly claim her as a friend. Jack used to be on that short list, but when the pirate asked Derek to possibly help him lie in the future to Buffy about something the hunter feels would be a low blow to her, he's been feeling pretty shaky about the guy. Other people he likes: Adele, Luke, Katara, Raine, Ed, Don, Leo, still thinking about Lupin.

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The woods, the library, his place, the mountains, the beach, the lakes.

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Red-tailed hawk, including the coloring. He tends to cover them more than let them out, just because he instinctively doesn't like to give any potential attackers something they can grab and damage easily. Still, when it's too hot to cover up that much, he'll leave them out, although they stay tucked firmly against his back. When he's in his own place, he lets them sit naturally and, since he tends to just wear jeans and not much else, they're out.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: Not really. He's full grown and well into adulthood, and he's not likely to mess with his looks just for the hell of it.

19) What do they miss the most from home?: Being able to wander more than five miles in any direction. He's used to riding off into sunsets, to new towns far from the one he just left. He has nowhere to go here in Luceti.

20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: He writes neatly, and usually prints.

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Not really; he'll occasoinally get more formal in written entries, but that's about it.

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: He is worried sick about his team back home, even though he knows time is not moving for them. He's also given up on trying to 'figure out' Luceti; thus far, inquiries have been blocked, and attempts to find things out on his own net nothing. So he's pretty much determined to just wait out his stay here, however long that takes.

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: When he got here, it was a downgrade. Currently though, it's about even, if you ignore the lack of things like TVs and computers.

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

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?: Tequila is his favorite. Fruity/sweet drinks make him gag. Good Spirits. He drinks in moderation, although he can go pretty far before hitting 'drunk' stage. He typically doesn't drink to get drunk; in most cases, the loss of control would not be worth it to him. Too dangerous.

26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Unless you count getting up relatively unharmed after being bounced into wood, tables, rocks and walls by angry vampires, not really.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? He's learned from most of the filial spirits, although he favors Nala and Tsunki the most, followed by Sona and Faeren. Hyt's the only one he really hasn't tried to work with yet.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? He follows orders, does his job quietly and as efficiently as possible, and tends to over work himself. He's probably one of the ones that ends up getting 'pulled' back into his room after staying out for an extended amount of time. As for killing, he's not so much willing as understanding that he's in a 'kill or be killed' situation, although he won't take it that far unless his opponent gives him no choice. And yes, he will rip wings off; seems the best way to keep the other guy down.

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? Pretty much the same as drafts. His reason is for the points, although there are several things he wants to use them for, and hasn't made a decision yet about which choices to make. Missions also give him a way to avoid going stir-crazy.

30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: Working on his third year, if you combine his two stays. He's pretty much in 'wait and see' mode.

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? takes a shower, plays some guitar, sleeps, and sometimes will go get a drink once he wakes up.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? Worst was when he came back just this side of turning into a vampire. He...really doesn't like any of them so far, although Luceti Valley at least gave him a sense of family and home for a time.

33) Anything else you want to note?: Nooope.
