The Universe Reflected in Thy Eyes

A few of my characters have different incarnations in different settings. If you want to specify a world, do so in the ask, but otherwise I'll assume a world based on who I think you'd be most interested in. And if you're a wild child who actually doesn't know me and wants to ask my OCs things, first off, welcome! second off, I'll just ramble about the one I associate them with the most in my mind.

Without further ado:

💐Create a bouquet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

[Neve quirks a soft smile to herself, before regaining her composure. She seems to like the premise of this ask quite a lot.]

The body of the bouquet would certainly be Bantons. I'm aware they aren't commercially available, and I unfortunately don't have any images of them on my cellular device at present, but I shall do my best to explain: they are an iridescent flower with a soft luminescence. They have 5 petals and an alternating leaf patterning down the spine. The pigmentation of the flower itself is blue. I've only seen it on one planet, but it's... a personally significant flower, I suppose. [she grins bashfully, before letting out a focused rush of air]. Unfortunately, due to this flower's obscurity, I don't believe it has any well-known meanings, but my compatriots have always seemed to associate it with love and beauty despite harsh circumstances.

I would then pair it with some flowers from my homeworld. The flora there has black stems, which I believe would pair well with the light provided by the Bantons. ...Perhaps some stainedshades. They're quite geometric little things, partially translucent, and often found in the twilight that marks the end of the Li-... [she trails off, frowning at the foreign nature of her tongue] ...the perpetual sunset that exists around the planet. The star never moves in the sky, see, so it's always quite dim, and the proximity to the icebergs that reign over the dark side of the planet leaves the area damper than most of the rest of the planet. Stainedshades had connotations with death, both in the literal sense and in the transformative sense, and I believe both fit me well for... reasons I assume you are familiar with. The Nova isn''t exactly strangers to the concept of transformative death and death itself.

[i'm not allowed to link things in asks but you know exactly what im talking abt so imagine its here <3]

- perse ❤️‍🔥

I....

This looks like some randocrafter bullshit. No one could possibly be braindead enough to come up with this with their own mind.

[whispering off stage from evie] .... I'm informed this is an actual item made by an actual sentient mind.

Why.

🍧 Do they still have any objects from their childhood? What significance does it have to them? What would their reaction be if they lost it?

[He quirks a coy little smile. It's one he wears almost all hours of the day, like the world's a joke only he's in on.]

Ask Game Link here! He'll be in my pinned after I catch up on my asks, same w/ Seung in the next ask :) I basically just posted that initial batch as a starting point.

💐Create a bouquet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

[There's a soft, nostalgic sadness in Sugul's eyes as he contemplates the question] I had a friend, years ago. Estelle. They'd probably know exactly how to answer this.

Since you're asking me, though, I would make a bouquet out of wildflowers I've come across in my travels. I doubt they have any 'meaning' that'd be broadly understood as significant or relevant to myself, but it's an ode to the places I've been and the people I've seen. A horsetail picked from the river of memory is going to mean infinitely more than a rose picked from a store. ...I love it when lyrics make themselves :) [jots down the line in a notebook]

Hi! Vihala here! I love flower language, so I'm going to give an actual answer :) The bulk of it would be yellow gladioluses mixed in with Lillies of the Valley and Raven ZZ leaves.

Gladioluses are a flower where color doesn't affect the meaning, but a gladiolus is seen as "the flower of the gladiators", and also means integrity, strength, and victory (Source). He's from a warcamp of orks who taught him war and conquest, and though he didn't take the same path of violence as his family, he does often find himself having to go into contest versus others, and as much as he's loathe to admit it, 'the game' of life is what gives him meaning and purpose. There's also an element where they represent empathy through shared experience, in the concept of 'I understand your pain' (Source). He understands a lot more than his whimsical nature would imply, though because his understanding is rooted in grief, he tries to not let this influence his actions.

Gladioluses also work well because the flowers are pretty tall and thin, which allows for them to mingle in with those Lillies of the Valley. They're small, representing sorrow - there's a Christian allegory here where Eve's tears formed into Lillies of the Valley after she was banished from the Garden of Eden (Source). Especially given how muted the flowers are, I think it fits his mostly silent grief about his current situation - the friends and family he's lost, the aimlessness rooted in his soul. Maybe it's also just me thinking of Stardew or Animal Crossing, but I remember them also being quite rare. And Sugul's situation is certainly unique.

🌱What is their most vivid memory from childhood?

I recall the flame. It wreathed, it sung, it beckoned. My voice joined in; with the land, it became unison. Flames crackled in C, then flew to F. Up upon the stage, all fear was cleft. My vision flickered crimson, orange, gold. HER decree deigned we would not grow old. HER flame still burns, strong then as is today. My link to my flesh, even as memories burn away.

🍀 Do they believe in luck? Are they lucky?

Would a caterpillar call it luck to survive their metamorphose? Would that same caterpillar call it misfortune to die? I suppose. We are strands on the tapestry of fate; too close to see the picture in full. But each thread adds its own weight. This is felt through luck's pull. My strand has spanned the distance of the world. Indeed, fate has looked kindly on this purl.

🍁What is their favourite season? Why?

🕷️ What is their biggest fear? Do they have any irrational / mundane fears?

Ask Game Link here!

🪤 What will always lure them into certain danger? A loved one in danger? A promise of something they are always searching for?

[They shrug, clearly dispassionate despite the gravity the question implies] I go into danger if asked. That's the only pre-requisite, really. [Their languid recline quietly freezes, if only for a moment, as they contemplate if there were something that would trump the weight a demand would place upon their shoulders, but they shake their head and shove the thought out of their head before they dwell on it too long.]

🔪 How do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? Do they put themselves at blame?

[The question right after they were thrown slightly off kilter freezes them up. Their mouth hangs open, willing words forth that don't come. A cocktail of vulnerable self loathing fighting against dissociative apathy clash in their eyes, before they sigh and lean their head back to the sky. Their hand pushes back against their forehead, threading through their hair and applying pressure to the source of the disconnect. They are present. They are here.] I... I guess it depends, but as a general rule of thumb, I prioritize damage control regardless of who the misfortune befell. If they're still around to lament whatever happened, then I try to be present but also give them the space to process the incident. As for blame... I guess I both do and don't blame myself. I do in the sense that tragedies are so often domino effects propelled by many players, and if something fell I certainly had a part to play. Yet at the same time, disaster is inevitable and that fact doesn't go away just because I'm present. If anything, it's probably the opposite; I seem to invite misfortune in the world around me. Maybe the wild magic's been quieter these days because it's been infecting my karma instead. ...Is karma real? I don't know. [A rush of air cascades from their lungs as they lock eyes with you] I'm assuming your next question is along this vein.

🔫 Do they trust people easily? How easily will they turn their back to someone? Have they been backstabbed before? Will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?

☁️a soft headcanon

Hi, mister! Thank you for asking! A nice fact about me... [she hums in thought] Well, I guess what I do with the shinies people give me is pretty nice! There's these circle things people give each other in exchange for services in the towns nearby - I think it's some kind of internal barter system? I haven't really bothered to figure it out. Anyway, what I do is I take them and I turn them into wind chimes around my little tree house! I try to harmonize them with the tune of the birds nearby and it sounds really really pretty!

❇️What is their most prized possession? What do they value?

[They gnaw at the inner part of their cheek] I... hm, I don't know! I haven't given this much thought. Objects are transient by nature, in my opinion; holding onto things is a bit tough when your best friends are bears and wolves. But if I go out, I never leave without my seed pouch. It's my way of communicating with the earth in a way that my words couldn't. [She takes out a small seed and hums a soft tune; green light flashes in her hand before she opens it, revealing a sunflower] A lot of birds like these seeds, for example, but they're also a good snack! You can have some too, if you want. [She holds her hands up for you to partake in the bounty of the sunflower's harvest, though actually eating them might be ill advised as dirt stains her hands. It'd probably be wise to wash them off first, at the least] As for value.. I value harmony, I suppose! Nature and civilization alike are where they are because they work together and find something greater than if they went to try creating their stake alone. I'll treasure anything shiny you give me, too. It's not very common something like that will show up in the grove.

☀️Are they a morning person? What is the first thing they do in the morning?
