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.)

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: (laundry, dusting, sweeping, fixing sinks, and so on)

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?:

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, wander, so on)

10) Their general sense of fashion: (what they tend to wear when they're not wearing their usual canon getups.)

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?

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: (cover them up, generally ignore them, jump every time they see them in the mirror, so on)

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: (height, weight, hair-length, etc)

20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?:

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: (IE. Very articulate and speaks very easily over the journal, stammers and shies away in person)

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: (IE. Was going to be king of the world back home, can't do it now)

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

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

Feel free to respond to each other's tags with IC or OOC responses, questions, or what have you. Have fun!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1) Height: ...that is a good question. I'm sure an official height exists somewhere, but I can't find it! From what I can tell, he's shorter than the other boys and around the same height as Asuka. So short!

2) Weight: Average for his height and age. He's kind of a small kid, but he doesn't seem to be unhealthily skinny at all.

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

4) Age: Fourteen.

5) Physical features: Nothing at all!

6) Voice: He's voiced by Spike Spencer in English and Megumi Ogata in Japanese, but the English is what I tag in mind with, so...! See: A drunk, a hedgehog, and a penguin. ~~Ugh, Rebuild, why are you so gorgeous.~~

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: He lives alone, so he takes care of his own chores! He's usually pretty good about them. Even living by himself, he doesn't tend to leave things lying around and all that.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: He cooks for himself, and he's pretty good at it no matter what he says. He doesn't really have a favorite kind of food or anything, though. He just eats what's there.

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Um. Exist? 8D; He stays home, but he also likes to wander around a lot. (And I do mean a lot.) He's not used to having this much free time, so he has no idea what to do with it.

10) Their general sense of fashion: Simple and comfortable. He wears t-shirts and shorts around the apartment and probably dresses up a bit more to go out—the button-up shirts and pants that he usually wears for school are perfect for that.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: ...this is kind of tough because Shinji doesn't derive much pleasure out of, uh, anything. :| Listening to music kind of counts, though, even if he doesn't really do it for fun. It isn't something he's done for a very long time, but he definitely did it before coming to Luceti.

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Nope, not yet, but then again, he hasn't been here very long! I'm sure it will someday.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Ahaha, god, no. :| I don't think he ever will, either. What is self-preservation?!

14) Who are their neighbors?: He lives in CH4 on the second floor. Pilouette is his only neighbor!

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? He doesn't really have a best friend yet...!

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Um. I bet he likes hanging out on the roof of CH4 when it's nice out!

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: His wings are white! He generally ignores them.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: Nope, not at all.

19) What do they miss the most from home?: His friends (even Asuka)! Misato! Penpen! ~~But totally never his dad. Totally.~~

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 normal—simple, probably not very unique. He writes close to how he talks.

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

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Hmm. He doesn't have many personal goals, but protecting his friends was probably one of them before coming to Luceti. Even if he'd like to protect the people he's met here, he doesn't think he can without the Eva! So now he has nothing (and it really, really bothers him).

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's a downgrade for him, but it's not a big deal. He probably dislikes not having a TV around for background noise or a computer for an MP3 player, but they're definitely things he can do just fine without.

~~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 can play the cello! Really well, too, even if he says otherwise. It's the same for cooking. He's good at it and his friends love it, but he doesn't seem to think he's that great at it.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? Nope! He hasn't been around long enough and still doesn't see the point in anything here.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? ...ahaha. He hasn't been on any yet, but I'm sure when he is, it will be... interesting. :| He would avoid fighting, though, and stay out of trouble.

~~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?~~ N/A

30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: He arrived on March 3, 2012, so he's been in Luceti for over a month now. He doesn't really know how he feels about it yet! He's met a lot of good people here and experiments aside, Luceti is a nice place. He loves that he doesn't have to pilot the Eva and fight angels here, but at the same time, that's what gave him purpose, so while it's peaceful and his life isn't in danger anymore, he misses what he had at home. He also really misses his friends. So it's also complicated. :'|

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? Get away from anything that reminds him of what happened, plug in his headphones, and not think about anything at all.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? The only thing he's experienced so far would be the re-anchoring reality shift from the beginning of the month. It was both a good and bad experience! Going back to Ilia's world and being on a real spaceship? Pretty darn cool. Being led to believe that someone from his world was in Luceti with him? Not so bad—Ilia was nice and it was fun spending time with her. Realizing that wasn't true and that he'd probably be alone here for a while? ...not so cool. :|

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