🫵your turn. 13 and 17 for luca and 12 for anyone you want <3
13. Do I have a voice claim for Luca? What does he sound like?
I don't have a voice claim for him unfortunately, and I have a hard time in general imagining how my characters sound bc I struggle to tell voices apart sometimes, but I've always thought he has a kind of. Bugs bunny quality to his voice. Maybe not quite that high and nasally but in that range. He can be a little whiny and complains a lot, but has a lot of humor to his voice as well. Refuses to take anything seriously.
17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with Luca? How are they represented in his design?
A lot of people in Luca's life generally associate him with fire- and the goddess of fire by extension. But! He doesn't feel as much of a connection with that symbol specifically. In fact, lot of symbolic things imposed on him in his youth were all things he felt didn't represent him at all. Things like the way he was dressed and was taught treated him like a young girl, the roles and traditions he was taught treating him like an orc, many of the symbols adorning the things he wore supposedly connecting him to fire first and foremost, all things he now knows doesn't fit him and that he tries hard not to be represented by.
After finally finding the remains of one of the last phoenix villages, he does take a few bits of jewelry and notes some symbology that isn't as familiar to him with him on his journey- he doesn't know what they mean or what they used to represent, but he sees it as a mark of the culture that was lost and that he's now the last representative of, and tries hard not to let it fade like everything else.
12. Do I have a playlist for any of my characters?
I have playlists for a lot of my characters, but. A lot of them are outdated- I'm gonna talk about Blair's because hers is a lot more current and I have more thoughts about it lol.
I need to put more songs on it bc it's only got 5 at the moment, but! These are the big ones:
Harpy Hare by Yaelokre is one of the big ones- Blair's character is, in large part, about going from 'Just Following Orders' to actively calling out the real damage the royal class is doing to her people, and. I feel like Harpy hare comes at the climax of that character arc, the actual part of her calling attention to the atrocities and demanding reparation for them.
Fire by Barnes Courtney, in contrast is her initial setting out, when she initially accepts this quest to kill the people who are actively trying to change things. She's still conflicted about this at all, but thinks it will be for the greater good in the long run- but that seed of doubt is there, waiting to sprout and turn her on the true enemies of her people.
Dear Wormwood by The Oh Hellos, is that turning point between the two. Realizing this cycle will not end if she does not stop it, realizing she cannot stand idly by, that she is actively working against her people by doing what she's doing. That she needs to change her focus, and actually turn on the ones at the heart of the problem. Its just... such a perfect song for her, I love it so much,,,,
