chara development shit (pt. 1)
Which of your characters have naturally curly hair?
Graham’s turns kinda curly sometimes. It depends on the day and humidity. Maia’s hair is ‘natural’, although she usually wears it relaxed or with some kind of weave or braid through it. Vienna’s can border on curly, but she has straightened it so much and bleached it over the years it kinda just turns frizzy.
Can any of your characters cook?
Oh boy. Paco owns a taco truck, and can make food worth killing over, but second to that Raf is a splendid cook, and Caoimhe’s shit is worth salivating over. Cyrus is capable but lazy, as is Jude. Julian is just there to eat everything.
Do any of your characters have children?
Nope. Hahaha. 60 characters and counting, and not a single whiny brat. Although Cyrus has probably fathered over a thousand children in his 30,000 years on and off earth, let’s be real here.
Do any of your characters still live with their parents?
Alicia lives with her dad, Paco. She just finds it a better arrangement than living alone, mostly (and he kind of doesn’t want to let her go on her own, what with the head injury related amnesia and all).
Are any of your characters married?
Jude, in some verses. Mona, pre-emancipation from her terrible husband. Raf, not officially, but Sosa is his wifey and will most likely remain that way until extremely old age, freak accident, or other supernatural forces tear them apart.
Which of your characters are single? Pretty much most of them. Though, notably, Eden is permasingle, Alex and Donna have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend/SO, and Cyrus thinks relationships can go take a long hike.
Can any of your characters play the piano?
Jude, Archie, Max a little bit if she puts her head to it. Cyrus can play a mean Brahms, but you’ll never catch him at it.
Are all of your characters accepting and aware of their sexuality?
Asher is perma-struggling with his bisexuality, Syd is confused and unsure (though really not something he often thinks about when trapped in a deathmaze), Caoimhe has yet to realize she most really only likes girls, and Frankie is just in a state of permanent confusion.
Which of your characters have siblings?
Drew is a twin, Hayley is a triplet, Char and Holly may or may not have older siblings they are not aware of, and Vienna has a dead older brother.
Where in the world do your characters live?
All over, but a large majority hail from and live in the USA. -kanye shrug-
Which of your characters is most likely to consider a threesome?
Discounting the characters who have had them probably on the daily, Ziggy would probably be down if weed was involved, Maddie would be up for it if all the attention was on her, and Char is totally game to do it with a married couple.
Which of your characters can drive?
Quite a few. Kentucky is still learning, it’s a steep curve kinda process. Sometimes he’ll have to stop on the side of the road to pet a chicken.
Which of your characters did well in school?
Jude was pretty much straight A’s. Cody was homeschooled but passed the test required to get into MENSA.
Which of your characters went to University?
Jude, but dropped out. Drew, for a splitsecond. Maia, until she got bored. I think Maxine is legit my only college grad.
How old is your youngest character?
Pip is 13/14, but the Elle Fanning I have planned will be twelve (in her human body, but she'll probably be far, far older than that in reality).
Are any of your characters rich?
Hayley, Jude, and Drew are my trust fund babies. Adrian was also rich as shit, but we don’t talk about him.

Cyrus.
Which of your characters can draw/paint?
Eden. Graham’s halfway decent with caricatures/cartoon drawings.
Which of your characters have never been to a concert?
Probably Frankie.
How old is your oldest character?
Cyrus. He's been around since the stone age, literally.
If you put all your characters in a room together, what do you think would happen?
A bloodbath or an orgy, not necessarily in that order. Maybe a tea party in a small, civilized pocket of the room.
Can any of your characters sing?
Jude is a singer, Caoimhe has the voice of an angel but will not sing for you, and Hayley could probably make a decent stand-in for Brody Dalle.
Which of your characters have tattoos? What do they have and where?
Besides the usual suspects, Fiona has a 'this too shall pass' tattoo. Frankie has Russian prison tattoos from the convicts he was stitched together from. Sometimes he likes them, sometimes he doesn't.
What pets do each of your characters have, if any?
Maddie has Mr. Death, possibly my favourite non-human character ever. Julian has three dogs, a stray, a pug, and a shine.
Which of your characters are currently single?
Lots. Just ask ‘em. Some are even on Tinder.
Have you named any of your characters after someone? Who?
Oh jeez. I steal names from any and everywhere. Most notably, PJ is named after PJ Harvey, Cody Allbrook after Nick Allbrook, Fiona Deakin = Jasmine Meakin (Australian dance instructor/choreographer), Mona after Mona Lisa. Ziggy's full name is Ziggy Stardust Morello, and her brother is Freddie Mercury Morello (yeah, their parents were hippie stoners). Bradley Berkowitz = David Berkowitz, Frankie = Frankenstein. And of course, Eden Emily Anne Charlotte Fuller, whose middle names each correspond with a Brontë sister. Her parents were weird.

Donna, Syd, Frankie, Kentucky.
Do any of your characters have nicknames? If so, what are they?
Julian had a million and one, most notably Pikachu and Spark plug.
Do any of your characters have a short attention span? If so, which?
Lots. Mallory’s is notoriously short, so is Dale’s and Cali’s.

Frankie can read for days on end. He’s legit Belle, just lock him up in a giant library tbh.

Julian and his twin Ryan was adopted.
Are any of your characters famous?
Vienna is my most famous chara. She’s pretty much a Lindsay Lohan (or whoever’s big in the tabloids right now lol), always in the magazines, always gossiped about. Her parents are huge stars a la Brad and Angie, and her older brother was a pretty successful actor in his own right too (before his overdose).

All my Jamie charas lmao.

Archie is a ginger and so is Cali.
