20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?

Ok.  THIS ONE IS ALL THE SPOILERS.  FACADE PEOPLE, DON'T READ IT IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT IN THE STORY.

Oh gods.  WELL.  I KINDA ALLUDED TO ONE IN THAT LAST POST.  

Taoshaid's a derp.  He's not afraid of heights if he's on the ground.  SO UH.  MOUNTAINS?  THEY'RE COOL.  CLIFFS ARE ALSO COOL.  BUT.  FLYING ON SOME DRAGON'S BACK OR SOMETHING?  OR EVEN JUST FLYING ON A FLUFFY LITTLE MAGICAL CLOUD, EVEN AT A LOWER ALTITUDE THAN THE CLIFF OR MOUNTAIN... no.

He'd sorta flip some shit.  LOL  He'd probably flip some shit even if he was on a horse, or on a thing that wasn't solidly 'attatched' to the ground somehow.

This said, he would be really uncomfortable 'riding on someone's shoulders'.  He doesn't approve of being picked up either, but he'll deal if necessary.

THAT'S ONE.

The next one is kinda more hilarious.  

Taoshaid gets really nervous around people who aren't in his sect / of his race showing him 'positive' emotions.  Like.  If someone was happy that he showed up, he'd sorta weird out a bit.  Likewise, any act of kindness or any show of fondness towards him from 'outsiders' MAKES HIM ALL THE UNCOMFORTABLE.  

All he hopes for is civility and a certain amount of respect.  He expects, however, to be treated like shit.  But if anything goes beyond his hopes, he's in completely unfamiliar territory, and doesn't know how to react to kindness from these people.  LOL

For one thing, he believes he 'exists on a different plane' than they do, like, completely.  IT'S LIKE HE'S A GHOST OR SOMETHING.  He's there to observe, and sometimes direct and 'correct the balance', not to interact and become a pivotal force in someone's life.  Especially something that is contributing directly and personally to their happiness.  So.  WHEN THEY LIKE.  ARE NICE TO HIM.  It's like, you've been invisible all your life, and someone suddenly sees you and starts talking to you.  You're all like.  WAIT.  WAIT, WHAT?  WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!jndkf

Also, he believes in his sect's 'suppression of emotions'.  HONESTLY GUYS, BUTTFACE IS A PERSON TOO. So he does have emotions, he just tries to keep them 'in check'.  But when someone compliments him, or does some random act of kindness for him, ESPECIALLY given he's expecting to be treated like shit all the time (and usually is), he can't help but notice and feel something about it.  And honestly, it scares him.  Because they teach that emotion makes one 'unbalanced' and 'tilted at times of utmost importance'.  So, he's pretty much fearing that he'll essentially 'fall from grace' so to speak, if he lets himself be happy over something from an outsider.  

TLDR:  HE'S DEATHLY AFRAID OF KINDNESS.  But he secretly likes it, he just doesn't want to.  LOL

He'll usually react badly to someone being nice to him cause of this, OR IF THEY PERSIST GET VIOLENT.. and then feel bad about it later, and hate himself for feeling bad and just GET ALL MESSED UP.  ROFL

I await the time someone actually does this, because it'd be so hilarious.

EDIT: FORGOT THE MOST OBVIOUS ONES.

* Being 'unbalanced.'

* Failing his sect / being banished.

* Losing the Hakai'el.

19.) What’s your character’s preferred means of travel?

I.  I dunno how this is spoilers either BUT YEAH.  MORE TAOSHAID CRAP.

UH.  FEET?  ROFLMAO.  I don't think he's ever actually travelled any other way.  In fact, I speculate he might even be kinda freaked out if he was ever put on a horse and told to RIDE INTO THE SUNSET.

Given, 1) he's kinda short, and horses are big.  And 2) he likes his feet on the ground where he has the control.  

...

Mental image of Taoshaid riding a pony OH MY FUCKCIUNEGDF DIFNGNDS  ROFL

18.) Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.)

BACKLOGGAN.  Arkaz has taken over my life.  I knew it would happen.  I just knew it.  I am SO GLAD I didn't try to mess with it when school was in session, or I would've failed everything from that point on.

ANYWAY.  I don't think this is Facade spoilers, but IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, DON'T READ.  lol

UH.  I think Taoshaid is pretty mediocre in the cooking department.  I'm sure he knows how to cook a few things, as per requirements from his sect, but probably nothing fancy, and probably nothing delicious.  

ALL OF IT WOULD BE ON AN OPEN FIRE TOO.  Any other means of cooking, (like magic stuff rofl) he just wouldn't know how to do.  

Likewise, HE'S PROBABLY LIKE ME, JUST MORESO in that he eats for energy and to stay alive, and really isn't all that excitable about food.  I.. I figure he likes some kind of meat, just cause that seems like it'd be a rare thing underground, AND USEFUL FOR FIGHTAN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IDK WHAT SORTS OF FOODS EXIST IN THIS WORLD so it's hard for me to say what his 'favorite recipe' would be, if he even has one.  8|  

17.) What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?

Not really spoilers BUT I GUESS IT COULD BE IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT SOMETHING I think is very obvious by now.  kjdfgjkd

lkdfjngn This question.  TAOSHAID'S WORKSPACE LOOKS LIKE DEAD BODIES.  dkjfgnjkdf  I shouldn't be laughing so hard at that.

Yeah, he doesn't really have a workspace, he's a freakin assassin.  LOL  BUT IF HE DID.  

It'd be ... Balanced.  ROFL  Aka neat and symmetrical.  Probably very sparse, and if there was a thing on one side, he'd make sure to put something of equal visual weight on the other side.  But since I honestly don't imagine he's that neat by nature (completely a learned habit, though it's very socially enforced), he'd probably try to keep as little as possible in any 'workspace' he'd have, just so he wouldn't have to worry about keeping it neat.  

16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?

I sorta answered this elsewhere I think maybe.  BUT THIS ONE IS FACADE SPOILERS FOR REAL.  So don't read it if you don't want them.  ouo

Taoshaid's pretty estranged from all his blood relatives, to his knowledge.  If he has any cousins or other not-immediate family, they've never come forward to acknowledge him, so he doesn't even know if they exist.

That said, he's really close to some others in his sect.  

Actually, the sect in general could be considered all 'blood relatives'.  A common term they use for one another is 'Brother' or 'Sister', and that's just for anyone.  But they all mean it; they treat each other like a large family.  

Taoshaid is probably the closest with his Partner, Taul'nn.   They have a really strong bond, and know each other extremely well, and definitely treat each other like blood relatives, or close siblings. 

15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl? 

WELL.  This should be obvious rofl but.  JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY...~  

I think I said this somewhere already...  But if Taoshaid had a choice when he was on the surface, he'd be nocturnal.  However, as it turns out, most people aren't, and in order to get any info out of them, he has to be functioning when they are.  SO.

He's kinda both.  All of them.  Whatever he has to be, pretty much.  lol  I don't figure he has any sort of regular sleep schedule anymore, it's more to a point of 'fuck, I can't move anymore and my eyes won't stay open, I have to lay down now.'  And that can happen at any time.

BUT.  BUT.  Defaultly, taking out the 'sun' factor, Taoshaid would like getting an 'early start' on things.  IF HE LIVED LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE, he'd be one of those guys up at 6 am like HEY, LET'S GO, HURRY UP.  >8|  all the time.  rofl

I honestly don't even know if dark elves are on the same 'time schedule' as everyone else is, since they don't really... see the sun normally.  They might be on a completely different time table, and just take naps all over, or.  Gods, I don't even know.  LOL

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

UM.  SPOILERS FOR FACADE PEOPLE I GUESS IF YOU... DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS?  lol

I don't think Taoshaid has many different reactions than 'normal people' would to extreme temperature changes.  I imagine he's more used to the cold than the heat, due to living underground / in the mountains all the time.  And I don't think the underground colonies go SO deep to where the geothermal gradient would start having any effect... so he may be more 'cold resistant' than the average person.

13.) What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?

OVERHAUL OF BACKLOGGED THINGS.  My computer exploded, what do you want?  lol  SPOILERS IF YOU GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ~* BUTTFACE IN BED *~  edfnjkgnjkdfg *dying*

TAOSHAID THINKS THIS IS A RATHER PERSONAL QUESTION AND DOESN'T FEEL COMFORTABL-  He's probably all over the place.  lol

LIKE.  Rolling around drooling kind of all over the place.  roflmao  Which is really unfavorable for someone in his line of work.  Yes, Taoshaid.  You are an assassin of a hated race that happens to be primarily nocturnal out in the open, and you sleep like a freakin crazy.  LOL  SO INCONSPICUOUS, NO ONE WILL EVER FIND YOU.  THUS.  Covers are probably either wrapped around him, or knocked on the floor, or SOMETHING ELSE RIDICULOUS.

Lately, Taoshaid has been sleeping all over anything whenever he can, usually outside.  So he doesn't have the luxury of covers or a bed, and instead kind of curls up in his cloak, uses his packs as pillows, and sorta ... just stays there in a ball.  He's likely not very comfortable, but probably so tired by that point HE JUST DOESN'T CARE.
