Power outages were a common occurrence in Aubrey’s life.

Plenty of times had the places he had lived in over the years lost power, either because of corporate construction work nearby, overdue electric bills, or simply because of the decrepit state of the building itself; especially the crappy apartment he had lived in with his mother and sisters had lost power often enough to the point they’d had to buy an external generator, to keep the fridge running and prevent food from spoiling.

THANK U SM MWAHH

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

his mbti is infp (which fits him sm bc of how like. caring. and idealistic he can be) and his enneagram is 6w5 (the guardian) which, again, SO fitting for a man like him. so loyal but also very pensive kinda guy. analytical one might say.

🌴 PALM TREE — does your oc have a green thumb? do they enjoy gardening?

i never really thought abt it before but. god he DOES have a green thumb actually!! his apartment is full of plants because he still feels weird being in night city and wants to remember being outside (even tho "outside" is a desert). i think he also grows plants to manifest the future he wants, aka being at peace in a place that's connected to nature and had NOTHING to do with night city. he also gardens i've decided just now bc he can't stand all the factory foods (which is gonna be a useful skill when he DOES get his little haven away from everything!!)

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

– finley is trans!! it's a ripperdoc in the bakkers that did his top surgery a few years ago and there were some complications (normal thing to happen in the badlands methink) so his scars are now a little jagged and strange, but he loves them nonetheless – was taken by raffen shivs as a kid to be sold or eviscerated. he ended up killing and maiming his way out of the camp with a scalpel and running away before being found by some bakkers scouts. – sometimes, when he can't sleep in his apartment, he goes down to the garage and sleeps in his car. it's something that's more familiar to him and it soothes him despite the grief that comes with it.

🐈 CAT — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

he definitely prefers a few close friends. doing what he does—infiltrating the project at eden's gate years ago and now juggling his allegiances as best as he can—, it's much safer to only rely on a few friends he can really depend on rather than risk being ratted out by hanging out with too many people. he's also very slow to trust, so he's never even had a wide circle of friends, even as a child.

🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?

– maxwell is an excellent hunter. he learned as a child with his uncle and his big brother achilles. he never liked it. – tends to be quieter in most situations, only there as support for whoever he's with (be it jacob or eli). he doesn't take sides during fights, which is why he's so conflicted about the reaping and its factions. – doesn't listen to much music. idk if this counts as a trait but there it is!! my poor underdeveloped boy

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

he likes homemade foods, no matter what that food might be, but the food that brings him the most comfort is saltines and peanut butter. it's just a little snack he used to get as a kid when they were a little tight on money and it brings back a lot of memories, good and bad.

💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

outside!! carter grew up on a spaceship, so being outside on earth is one of his favourite thing. i mean, there are trees, flowers, rivers, lakes, animals, bugs!! so many things to see, so many beautiful colours, so many different smells!!

🍦 SOFT ICE CREAM — what is/are your oc's favorite ice cream flavor(s)?

strawberry,,,, he's a very strawberry and banana kinda little guy and strawberry ice cream is just so sweet AND pretty. all pink. important also to note he hates pistachio ice cream (projecting that on him rn)

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

carter listens to all kinds of music!! growing up with peter quill as a father, he ofc listened to a lot of music from the 70's and 80's and they're what he listens to the most nowadays, but he also enjoys pop music a lot and the shrek 2 soundtrack!! he's also a BIG fan of dolly parton

listenig to the fine print reminded me of this ask...

Amadeus was a low level lab researcher when he got on the hope. The ongoing discoveries of everything that fellow scientists have been up to willingly or forcibly has cracked him in half morally (specifically Gorgon, Olympus & HRS 1084)

He's great with machines and hacking! Bad with guns, so he goes either for guns that are hard to miss with or good old melee weapons. He gets better & better with sniper rifles as time goes on. Also loves his flamethrower <3

Amadeus is very attached to pretending to be Alex Hawthorne, hiding it even from his crew as they join for as long as possible, lying about his identity even when it serves no purpose or even risks actually causing him problems. Honestly he's all too happy to avoid who he used to be -- Amadeus was a rank and file worker, a guy, he learns, who would have been exploited and fed to the endless body machine for just one bottle of Spectrum. Alex Hawthorne? That's a cool, rebel space captain, brave and ... well, if he's dead, somebody had to be the hero.

wyll and gale

interest level: 6/10

what i like: they look good together in the gifs and stuff i have seeeeen.... i really like gale so any gale ship gets immediate bonus points because he's there....... i think gale works very well for the princely old-fashioned romance that wyll offers and i think wyll would respond very well to gale's grand gestures and intense romance that he offers..... idk i think they'd be very wholesome and cute together!!!!

what doesn't work for me: maybe i'm toxic but its too sweet... too wholesome. i dont think gale would be toxic with wyll i think wyll would fix him. which is grand for gale. that hubris has been romanced away by acorn boy. and gale and wyll could honestly be a massive powerhouse in the duke ending because of gale's connections and wealth. but like. it's not spicy enough. i need someone to be not a great person in some way for me to really like it. but these two together are just. too nice. too good. it works TOO WELL!

gale and the emperor

interest level: 9/10

what i like: ok see now we're toxic. now i'm interest! we have so many dynamics here first of all i'm going to point out in the ending gale is the only person to actually said he will miss the emperor, which is sick. we also know from tavflayer romance that gale is not only sexually attracted to illithids but immensely fascinated by them, every part of them, wants to study them, learn their biology, get a lil mad scientist freaky about it. that's hot. emperor is ambitious and loves power, is power hungry, and will be very into you if you encourage it to seek more power, and gale's entire thing is power, getting more power being more powerful, hubris etc, and gale's domain as a god is the god of ambition. like. while gale is not stupid enough to fall for the emperors tricks, i think they could bounce off each other very well because gale does not back down from people who are more powerful than he is. as shown by his general disrespect toward raphael, an archdevil!
