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: 5'6" (172 cm) canonly, maybe around 5'8" (173 cm) since coming to Luceti.

2) Weight: No canon weight. Maybe around 130 lbs (59 kg).

3) Eye color/Hair Color: Blue eyes, light... blonde/brown hair. His hair is kind of a mystery.

4) Age: Seventeen.

5) Physical features: He wears a pair of light blue studs in his ears (barely visible here), has a birthmark under his left eye, and has a scar on his left hand from being stabbed with his sword.

6) Voice: He's voiced by Hirofumi Nojima in the anime. See: Cool guys tell cats to shut the hell up.

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: He lives with his brothers Gilbert and Vincent Nightray (

chainedraven and

keepitinthefamily), his servant Leo (

statice), and some weird guy named Jack Vessalius (

of_sablier). In general, Gilbert probably handles most of the housework, though Leo takes care of some of Elliot's things... sometimes. Unless something requires immediate attention, Elliot will leave things there, because it's not his job to clean it up.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Gilbert does most of the cooking, and if he's not around to do it, Leo will cook for Elliot and himself. He's picky about his food, but Gil's a pretty good cook, so it's usually not a big deal.

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Read! He could spend hours reading, and he enjoys doing it. They aren't quite everyday activities, but he practices swordplay often and likes to (attempt to) write music sometimes. In general, he stays around the house, but he likes to go out on better days just to walk around, because he's the type to get antsy after sitting still for too long.

10) Their general sense of fashion: Like a boss. ...by which I mean like a typical Victorian nobleman, of course. When it come to color, he wears a lot of black, gray, and white, with the occasional splash of blue. He wears clothes that don't expose much skin at all, and he usually wears a pair of gloves when he goes out. He goes without jackets (like so) around the house and when it's warmer out, and when it's colder, he wears a nice, long coat. His formal clothes bear the Nightray family crest, but he obviously doesn't wear these as often.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Reading, music (writing, playing the piano, though these are a bit difficult now), and swordplay are his main hobbies. These are things he's always done and enjoys pretty often in Luceti! He hasn't come up with any new hobbies since he arrived. (He had been coaxed into attempting gardening during an experiment, but after his servant ruined the garden, he hasn't tried to take care of plants since.)

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Not really. He's pretty much disliked Luceti from the start, but he doesn't mind the people here.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He has a black sword that he received as a gift from his father. It's a symbol that represents his position as a member of the Nightray house... or, at least, that's what he was told. It's easily the most important thing he's ever owned. Ever. As such, he carries it with him everywhere he goes, regardless of circumstance. (He even takes it to school with him in canon, hiding it inside a violin case and taking it with him everywhere.) Oh, and you'd better not touch it. He really doesn't like it when people touch his sword.

14) Who are their neighbors?: Mithos and Martel in house 52 and Reiko, Takashi, and Tanuma in house 54.

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? His best friend in allll of Luceti would be Leo, but he's been pretty (unsure) about him since he returned to Luceti. He's not quite as close to anyone else as he is to him, but he cares a lot about his Luceti friends even if he doesn't see them often (...which he doesn't, because engaging friends in an inform setting is not something he's used to).

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The library! It's not really his favorite place, though, so much as... the only place with anything interesting for him to do, haha.

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: His wings are black. He doesn't hide them, but he doesn't tend to acknowledge them, either. He doesn't like them since he's not supposed to have them, but otherwise, they're just kind of there.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: He's gotten a little taller! ~~I would say something about his hair but I'm not sure anyone knows how that works.~~ His hair has probably grown, too, but he never leaves it that way—he always maintains his appearance.

19) What do they miss the most from home?: ...um. :|; Well, his family!! Which is ironic, considering the only other possible place he could see them now is Luceti...!

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 probably a little neater than average. Not beautiful, flowing script or anything, but neat. For the most part, he writes the way he speaks. (You know, except for all the yelling. He doesn't really convey that in his writing.)

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: He doesn't really act different, but it might seem that way. He will seem more polite through his writing, since if he's speaking, he's prone to... well, speaking too loud. So in his voiced entries (which is also how he is in person), he might seem to be your typical rude, obnoxious teenage boy, while in written ones, he seems much more calm and well-mannered.

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Yes to both! His personal goal at home was to figure out the identity of the Headhunter, but that's something that's obviously hard for him to do in Luceti, so it's not much of a goal anymore. On the other hand, being in Luceti has taught him that there are a lot of things he doesn't understand, besides his unusual dreams, so that's something he wants to figure out now.

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Upgrade! It's still really strange for him, all these appliances and electricity and things, but it's not so bad because... he doesn't hav eto use them. His brother and his servant do. :|

~~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 compose and play his own music on the piano! Unfortunately, an injury at home makes playing for him difficult, so he doesn't do it very much in Luceti (unless he wants to become frustrated). He is also skilled in swordplay.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? Nope. He'd learned a bit about gardening, but he lost interest in it when the garden ~mysteriously~ failed.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? Elliot is a fighter, but he fights defensively, not offensively. He's the type of person who'd prefer to fight to help someone else rather than just fight for the sake of fighting. He can be reckless, but again, usually only for someone else's sake.

~~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 6th, 2011, so he's been here for a year and one month. The length of time hasn't really made much of an impact on him. ...well, you know, besides pissing him off.

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? Time to practice that swordplay. >:| He's not really a battle dome person, practicing over in the barracks or something works just fine.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? His worst experience might have been the time when the battle dome went crazy. It didn't do much to him personally, but his chain, Humpty Dumpty, made an appearance then and what happened that day has been frustrating him ever since.

33) Anything else you want to note?: Nope! Feel free to ask, though.
