Shard-verse Character Questions

Taken from my tumblr, which is pretty much abandoned now. Prompts from various character tumblrs.

Your OC has just been thrown out of a window. How did they get into that situation and did they deserve it?

The White Knight – fighting one of the name criminals, and no. Wild Rush – fighting the White Knight, and absolutely

Has your character ever believed someone they met was actually an alien?

Technically, anybody who has met Lenxoli!Swordcat* has met an alien

* (if you’re not familiar with fan jargon, an exclamation point is used to differentiate between different versions of characters. (https://fanlore.org/wiki/!). In this case, it’d be the sword part of Swordcat instead of the human part (Leon).

What’s the least attractive feature of your OC’s personality?

Wild Rush is pretty much heartless.

Daisy is overly trusting and refuses to see people’s (especially Wild Rush’s) bad sides

Delia has a bad temper and is super stubborn.

Gimmick is extremely selfish.

Does your OC have any interesting qualities in their voice? Such as an accent, a lisp, a tendency to say sounds wrong? Any verbal tics?

Techrat has a very flat voice without much intonation

Your OC has started a youtube channel. What type of channel is it and would it get popular?

Techrat would show how to fix old tech, everything from furbies to cell phones.

Then would come the day she’d been off her meds too long and would post a long rant about how awful humans are and how we should die out and be replaced by machines. Which would be taken down as soon as Gimmick noticed it and replaced with a vid that was just text explaining that Techrat was okay but in the hospital.

Then the cycle would start over.

#techrat does not take good care of herself #you’d never see anything but her hands #and her voice would be disguised through a vocoder #so it sounds slightly robotic

How does your OC handle grief?

Delia: apparently by locking herself in a room, making a superhero suit, and beating up criminals

What is a quality or feature you have that you /always/ end up projecting onto your OCs?

Snark

Which OC makes their own clothes?

Charles!

(It’s hard to get dresses in nems size)

Which OC takes great care when it comes to cable management, and which OC will probably suffer a painful injury from tripping over the cords that they leave everywhere?

Techrat keeps things neat, unless things are going badly and Gimmick is even more studious about it

Silver Dollar would be the one tripping

Which OC frequently forgets to take their medication?

Techrat, the poor soul

Which OC likes to be the center of attention?

Wild Rush of course!

And Jill

Which probably worked very badly when they dated

Which OC takes every precaution in order to hide their scars?

Mask, because they hurt otherwise and he’s very proud

On a wild night out on the town, which OC is the one to get drunk and which OC is the one doing damage control?

As Wild Rush gets drunker he finds men even more attractive (he’s bi) and he’s a happy drunk. I don’t think Daisy would drink much, but I can see her getting confrontational when drunk and Wild Rush actually being the one to calm her down for once, instead of the other way around.

Similar dynamic for Mick and Delia. Mick is pan and loves everybody, but usually can judge when it’s okay to make comments (he’ll flirt with everybody even if he doesn’t want to do anything). When Mick’s drunk judgement goes right out the window. Delia ends up trying to keep people from fighting with him, while he’s just grinning in joy from all the hot people around.

Which OC could fall from a two-story building and walk away like nothing happened?

Bonus: Which OC would curl up on the floor and sob if they so much as stubbed their toe?

#1 Wild Rush, Daisy, and Swordcat
#2 Techrat? Dunno

your character pretends they’re really upbeat and confident when really they’re a nervous wreck

This is Wild Rush in a nutshell

Tectrix, Silver Dollar, and Wild Rush

This was a bit of me working to differentiate between Tectrix, Silver Dollar (Enrico Donville), and Wild Rush. (TW for violence and anti-social behavior)

Enrico is independently wealthy and does the gang stuff for respect. He pulls capers for fun. He does risky and daring stuff because he’s an adrenaline junkie. He’s business-like.

Both he and Tectrix are ruthless, but Enrico has respect for his gang, other name criminals, etc. Tectrix thinks he’s better than everyone and everyone is disposable. Tectrix is a zealot.

Enrico isn’t vain, unlike Wild Rush, but dresses well because he’s used to it and for respect. Tectrix dresses unusually to shock people and because his wings and chest muscles make shirts difficult.

Wild Rush differs from them because he doesn’t notice most people – they’re just background or obstacles. He’s more pragmatic than ruthless. He’ll kill and torture people but just to get what he wants. Tectrix will do it for fun and fear. Enrico does it for respect and utility.

If enrage, Tectrix has hot anger – he’ll kill and hurt everyone in range. Wild Rush has laser focus – he’ll just hurt who has pissed him off. Enrico has cold anger. He won’t do anything then, but he’ll remember and get revenge.

Character Writing #12

How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold? 

(Hey, I’ve got a writing snippet that talks about this a bit!)

Wild Rush doesn’t really notice it. If it’s super hot or cold he might change what he’s wearing a bit, but not much.

Daisy feels them and either snuggles with somebody or tries to cool off.

Charles tends to run hot and Andre tends to run cool, so they even out. Andre prefers to run around in bright shirts and Charles likes skirts and dresses sometimes.

Delia doesn’t get cold that often, but can get really hot. She’ll blast the AC or take a cold bath or something.

Joel tends to run cold. He has tons of blankets to wear and warm jackets.

Leonard Burton (Delia’s brother-in-law) loves to go skinny-dipping when he’s hot or lay in front of a fire (preferably with a girlfriend) when he’s cold.

Morning bird or Night owl?

Delia and Joel are both naturally polyphasic sleepers and tend to be night owls. Delia has an easier time in the morning than Joel.

Leonard Burton is also a night owl and is often a slug-a-bed. But he’ll get up to make breakfast for people.

Wild Rush is totally a night owl. That’s when all the exciting stuff happens.

Daisy is more of a morning person, but likes to stay up with Wild Rush.

Charles is totally a morning person. It’s quiet and ne can relax and read or get caught up on things or whatever.

Andre honestly isn’t super fond of either. He’d prefers during the day when there’s lots of light.

Sergeant Aurita is totally a night person, for the same reason Wild Rush is. Night time is exciting.

Silver Dollar loves to sleep in late and stay up late. It’s a really really bad idea to wake him up without a good reason.

Techrat is… none of the above. He keeps a very bad and erratic sleep schedule and often gets his days and nights reversed.

Gimmick is a morning person. The earlier you get up, the earlier you can get stuff done. He likes to watch the sun rise with breakfast.

Donna Cooper is about the same. If she gets up early, she can get started on stuff before people starting bringing more problems.

Swordcat is another slug-a-bed. He takes catnaps and is up all night.

Mask is another morning person. Usually because he couldn’t sleep. He tends to go to bed early because he’s exhausted.

Jill loves to go out at night, dancing and drinking, and causing trouble. And then she gets up at a reasonable hour to do research and stuff.

Mick Adler is not a morning person at all, unless he woke up with an idea. He also likes to go out at night, but if possible he’ll go home with somebody fairly early.

Character Writing #9

#23 Is your character superstitious?

Wild Rush – he has a vague sense of things being lucky or unlucky or a bad idea, but nothing set in stone. He’d say it’s just hunches.

Daisy – not at all, but she can get hunches too

Andre – a little bit, just standard stuff like not walking under ladders, avoiding 13s.

Charles – ne’d say he’s not, but ne’s got a bunch of folk beliefs

Delia – more spiritual than religious. Believes in spirits in all living things, so we need to be respectful, especially old things

Silver Dollar – ooooohhhh, yeah. Exceedingly, about tons of things.
