9. What is their favourite colour? Favourite animal?

Biscuit's favourite colour is pink (though he doesn't wear it much), and his favourite animal is a dog! If you ask him what his favourite animal is though, he'll cry because he'll have to definitively choose one.

30. When frightened, will they resort to "fight" or "flight"?

3. Ask them to describe their love interest.

"... Absolutely perfect."

6. Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?

His big sister Neve is the only person he'll ask for advice, and the only person he'll consider taking advice from if it's offered. Avery can be remarkably stubborn, and he's very good at pretending to listen before going on with living his life the way he sees fit.

22. Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?

Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child? "Obviously I can take care of plants. I've got,, basically a jungle in my apartment. And I g-guess...somehow I ended up being the animal rescue guy in my circle. People will bring me strays they found t-to deal with...even though my advice is always 'contact your local shelter.' Um,, I d-don't...dislike kids. I don't think I would be...stable enough to raise one. I barely have my shit together. I wouldn't put a child through that. B-but...if it was an emergency...and I had to babysit or something,, I th-think I could manage for a little while."

Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)? "Most of th-the books I read are...plant care. Field guides. But, uh...escapism is...nice sometimes. I don't mind romance if it's well-written. It's...I like seeing the characters get their happily ever after." (The answer is yes, he likes romance books. He's just a big tsundere.)

What do they like that nobody else does? "I w-wouldn't say nobody else likes it, but...poisonous plants are pretty cool. Th-they can be used in medicine just as much as to hurt people. And th-the science of how they work is...really interesting."

Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)? "Vengeance. If someone hurts me,, I'm n-not giving them a chance to do it again."

A9: Does your OC make a lot of excuses? For themselves? Others?

Harvey would make excuses to justify killing other people, like it's fine because it's out of self-defense (even if the person in question didn't do anything), and that they were probably going to kill or harm him in some way anyway.

B2: Do they get frustrated when lines at places like pharmacies, check-outs, delis, banks, et cetera, are moving slowly?

Oh absolutely. Harvey doesn't go out often (mostly because he stockpiles so he can avoid going out in the first place). When he does though, he wants to get in and out as fast as possible. So if things are taking a while, he's going to get real anxious about the people around him. He might just end up leaving if he loses patience.

D4: Would they like to be immortal? Why, why not? If they are immortal, would they rather not be?

Harvey only recently started believing in the supernatural, so if he found out a way to become immortal, he'd immediately go for it. Considering how much he fears death, it'd seem like a no-brainer for him. And since he doesn't really trust people, he wouldn't have to worry about others dying before him.

Answers under the cut!

On the other hand, Dan would absolutely coddle Harvey and treat him with the utmost respect and give him the love he deserves. If Harvey is still worried about Dan and would like to stab him though, he's definitely going to keep his distance, but would still very much like to hang out with him

If Randy ever met Biscuit, he would instantly be interested in the knives and fork. Biscuit better show that he's not ready to fuck around, otherwise Randy is definitely going to want to mess around with them and poke the knives, especially if he senses no murderous intent. If he finds out that Biscuit also likes to eat people, Randy would immediately want to be his friend and maybe go and kill and eat people together

Since Archer marks off all of the "very intimidating, must kill" boxes, Harvey's probably going to kill him. I can imagine another timeline though where Archer manipulates Harvey into doing some nasty things :(

And yessssss Dan please coddle Harvey and make him feel safe. Emotional support dog :) (just. maybe warn him first. just in case) I don't think Harvey will trust Dan at first, but might be more inclined to let his guard down because of how baby Dan is (both in appearance and personality). Then they can be friends :)

OOOOOOH :3 the dream team

🎈 (balloon) - What does your character do at parties? Are they a wallflower or a party animal? Do they go with friends or alone?

Pierce: OH GOD. Pierce? At a party? He’s the creepy guy who stands in the corner on his phone awkwardly pretending not to look at people. If he were to go to a party, let’s say Jeremiah roped him into one, he’d be way out of his element to say the least.. Even family gatherings weren’t great for him as a kid.

Kota: Parties are second nature for Kota— someone she knows is always having a party of some caliber. She’s pretty dedicated to her work as a content creator, but she always finds time to socialize offline. She’s totally comfortable even going to them alone!

🥀 (wilted flower) - How does your character deal with stressful situations? Is their fear response fight, flight, freeze or fawn?

Pierce: It depends on the situation tbh! He’s capable of them all— I’d say fight is his more automatic response though.
