AH YES, THE BOY

1. Do they have a nickname, and how or why did they get it?

Dale has nicknames from pretty much anyone he comes into contact to, actually.

His mother (and later his father, once they’re reunited) calls him “Sunshine”

Cameron calls him “Sugar”, which began ironically (just before they started feeling romantically about him) and now they think it’s fitting (seeing as he’s so sweet ;) )

Gerard calls him “Son” on occasion, just ‘cause.

Renaldo started out calling him “Beanstalk” on account of him being a farmer and Tall, and it sort of stuck.

Evelyn and Renee don’t so much have nicknames for him, Evelyn simply calls him by his name, and Renee calls him “honey” on occasion, but she does this with everyone.

3. Did they live in the same place their whole lives or did they move around a lot?

Well, from childhood up until 20 or so, Dale lived in his small home village. However, once his father contacted him, he left home, and has pretty much been living on his boot heels ever since.

11. Are they on a strict budget or are they impulse buyers?

Killing monsters tends to lead one into sizable stashes of loot, so there’s plenty of gold to go around, but with a six person party, one tends to be frugal. Dale himself heeds his mother’s advice and keep his pockets closed (unless of course he sees a little gift for one of his friends, in which case he’ll nab it).

15. Did they ever experience a major personalty shift, if so, what triggered it?

AH, MY SON WHOM I HAVE SENT TO THE WAR

4 - What is the name of their childhood best friend, and do they still hang out with them?

So, Thaum grew up in a community of “higher class” individuals due to his family’s heavily Earth-touched bloodline. Thusly, he was around a lot of snooty children in his youth, whom he rather disliked for their, well, snootiness, especially when they figured out about his lack of Elemental Affinity. He didn’t really have any close friends until he was in the Auralis Army, where he met his Squad mates, Ansel and Gideon. He doesn’t hang out with them anymore because they were murdered in the fight where Thaum lost his eye.

5 - Do they have any siblings, if so, how many and do they get along?

No, but Thaum had a bunch of cousins and distant relatives living with him. No real set number, and everyone was at least friendly towards him until his lack of affinity became known, after which he was just tolerated.

7 - How is their relationship with their parents?

Thaum’s parents were always trying to play up his talents as he grew up, heaping expectations on his shoulders. Ultimately, they viewed him as a disappointment to the bloodline. After he joined the Army (once his parents kicked him out to “make something of himself”), he pretty much gave up trying to communicate with them after his first few letters went unrequited.

15 - Did they ever experience a major personalty shift, if so, what triggered it?

Oh dear, I’ve not gone too much into the game, but here goes (thanks Kass)

my favorite female character: U N D Y N E. I am 100% loyal to our spear-wielding fish overlord. Like, I’m that-one-lizard-child-levels of all about Undyne.

my favorite male character: While iI absolutely love Sans and Mettaton, but Papyrus wins here. If I die and am resurrected as a Skeleton, 99.99% of the time, I’d just be Papyru. (the other .01% of the time is me discovering the key to lichdom. Still crossing my fingers on that one)

my favorite book/season/etc: Waterfall is GORGEOUS (I guess areas count?)

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)

my favorite cast member: Toby Fox for making this masterpiece

my favorite ship: Loving me some Papyrus/Mettaton as well as some Tauriel/Sans. Also, more importantly: UNDYNE AND ALPHYS

a character I’d die defending: P A P Y R U S

a character I just can’t sympathize with: The flower. Jen says I won’t want to kill the flower. I WANT TO KILL THE FLOWER.

a character I grew to love: At first, I did not like Asgore. Now he is the large uncle

my anti otp: Here’s a Tip kiddos, If your ship involves Frisk, a child, I have just one thing to say:

a: is the most attractive.

I’d have to say Cameron. Might be difficult to believe when your competition consists of a Succubus, a posh dreamboat, and a being that can look however they want, but they are considered STUNNING.

f: is my favorite.

You can’t make me choose this. (Henry, Tulio, or Dale)

l: lies the most.

When it comes to big, relationship ruining lies, it’s Cresila. When it comes to little, every day fibs, probably Smaug, who is not to be trusted at all.

m: is the biggest memer.

X E E D I L. They are low-key about it, though. Like. A sticker here, a slip of the tongue here. Occasional loud shouting while drunk.

p: is the purest, most perfect cinnamon roll.

Absolutely!

10. What do you think when you look at your body?

“Where are my muscles? I have worked hard for many months. Why are they trapped beneath this quivering prison? Help.”

11. What have others said when they look at your body?

“Please we’re so hungry please let us out oh god OH GOD IN HEAVEN DON’T SHUT THE DOOR WE’RE BEGGING Y-”

12. Do you have a particular song that you feel deeply?

It’s a toss up, but Bent to Fly by Slash & Myles Kennedy is a song that I can feel in my Soul.

13. Talk about a time in your life where you have felt most alive?

John’s Hopkins University, Maryland. I was in my summer between 8th and 9th grade. I was sprinting, full-speed, down the center of a huge hill, rain pouring down, my chest burning like the lightning-filled sky, and only the shape of my RA, Bryon, sprinting alongside of me to guide me through the dark as a thousand voices and footsteps followed us as we led the pack running to the dorms. That made me feel alive.

14. Are you confident wearing a bikini?

Hell no, I’m hardly confident in shorts and a t-shirt/

15. Can you look people in the eyes while talking?

I make it a habit. In fact, I might do it too much

16. Has anything terrible happened to you?

I lost my childhood home after my parents split up, leaving me, my mother, and my sister effectively homeless for 5 days.

17. Has anything wonderful happened to you?

I met some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever known in my life, and I have the privilege of being their friend.

18. Favorite part of your personality?

I refuse to give up until I grind myself into dust

19. Least favorite part of your personality?

I am critical of others, and find it difficult to not voice these feelings from time to time

20. Favorite part of your body?

Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Hot | Sexy | LORD MERCY

dale is large and i love him

My Boy! My Son! I thank you for this

10: What is your OCs favorite outfit?

Dale’s normal travel clothes are some of his favorites (Grey tunic and slacks, dark brown boots, shoulder-cloak, pointy hat), but as long as it fits he likes it. Two exceptions: Rough or heat-retentive fabrics, and any outfit which keeps him from wearing a large, pointed hat.

11: What animal does your OC relate to? 

Animals are almost universally hesitant to approach Dale due to his otherworldly nature and composition, the only exception of which would be Horses with 100% Black coats. The draft horse his mother cared for on the farm was one such creature, and I’d say Dale relates to them the most; their large, awkwardly shaped, and individualistic, just like him.

31: Does your OC believe in fairies?

Oh yeah. This is a leftover of his mother’s witchy teachings, and he always maxes sure to toss a coin in a river before refilling his canteen, and leaves bits of bread out for fey friends.

43: Who is your OCs biggest hero?

Originally, Dale built his father up as the wandering Big Damn Hero-type, just based on his mom’s stories, and he held this ideal as his hero for a long time, but as he adventured, he really began to admire his friends more than anything else.

52: How does your OC feel about insects?
