OH SHIT

MABEL PINES IS A GOOD ANSWER

I feel so complimented right now, tbh

@ivealwaysbeenthornheart

Aaa thank you!

What they smell like:  Ozone.  I just see Guardian energy and for some reason I think it smells like ozone?  Don’t ask me why.  She definitely smells like Guardian energy because she really can’t control it well and it sort of permates everything.  Underlying would probably be metal and sweat, she’s really active.

How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc):  Cuanthi sleeps like a log (because she’s a sylv-- okay okay) but she’s really pretty good about getting up on her own.  She tends to be a little on the nocturnal side, preferring to do her stuff at night.  She moves a lot and talks in her sleep, and has been known to take a swipe at people who try to wake her up before she’s ready.

What music they enjoy:  Crunchy, angry rock music. 

How much time they spend getting ready every morning:  Not much.  She might slap on some eyeliner if she feels like it but usually she’s ready in a few minutes or so.

Their favorite thing to collect:  She collects bones.  When she kills something and is really proud of it she takes the bones and makes little beads out of them.  Cuanthi actually has a small bag of bone beads she has made in the bottom of her pack.

Left or right-handed:  Right.

Religion (if any):  Cuanthi is well on her way to become soundless, so she doesn’t hold onto Sylvari teachings much.  She does like to listen to Havrouns when she is in the Shiverpeaks and has a particular fondness for Leopard. 

Favorite sport:  Probably lacrosse or hockey. 

Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc):  Food and sightseeing.  If she has someone to go with she might pop into a museum but I think she would be the type to go on a pub crawl more than anything else.

Favorite kind of weather:  Muggy weather.  Cuanthi likes humidity and heat, she seems to thrive in warm coastal areas.

A weird/obscure fear they have:  She’s not going to admit it but she thinks those weird mechanical orchestras they have in Divinity’s Reach are creepy.  Also the hanging marionettes?  Double creepy.  Cuanthi actually sort of avoids Divinity’s Reach when it comes down to it.

8. Favorite food: Onion Rings

9. Crushes: Angel Price (my human ranger) and Captain Samuel (my bf’s thief)  

13. Bad habits: She’s often...quite rude. She knows its wrong, but she cant help it lmao. 

11: Do they like the cold?

Oh yes. Lavinia loves being cold! She loves snow, ice, everything that comes with winter and being cold really. 

15: How do they feel about the Jotun?

“The lot of them are overgrown behemoths with the brain of a mere pitiful child!” -What Lavi would probably say about Jotun

20: The lodge is celebrating and the ale and mead are flowing. What do they do?

She would hide away with her books and mumble under her breath about how shes surrounded by idiots.(If you cant tell Lavi isnt very nice) 

24: Their home is threatened by Icebrood. How do they react?

If theres anything she actually cares about aside from studying necromancy, its her home and family. She would defend it until she could no longer stand. 

25: How do they feel about the Spirit of Hare?

She doesnt believe or disbelieve in hare, really. She can’t discredit Hare’s existence, nor can she really prove it. She doesn’t criticize those who believe or dont believe. 

Charoban, the charr, the elementalist!

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

Since cubs go at a really young age in the fahrar, Charoban didn’t get to know his father so well and doesn’t have a stronger opinion of his sire. But as far what Charoban imagines him to be/thinks of him: He thinks his sire was pretty ambitious and a Charr loyal to death to his warband. He gave off this feeling of superiority and maybe even that Charoban wouldn’t be good enough in the Legion, since Charoban didn’t show too much interest in his warband… or maybe Charoban might be overthinking it a bit.

5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?

Not really. If he was curious about something, he would explore that, if there was something dangerous and he wanted to test himself, even if it meant getting himself killed? Why not? It only added up to his experience, and it did well.

10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?

Street-smart and intelligent. Not much of a book person, only if specific things struck him interesting. He loves to outwit his foes at times with words.

22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?

Hi thank u omg <333

Lyranni:

8. How does your character feel about religion?Lyranni follows Ventari’s teachings, but she doesn’t see them as absolute laws, but as guidelines. Her analytical and rational personality allows her to understand that you can’t truly live like that in a world like Tyria (eg, “Everything has a right to live” doesn’t really work when the thing that has a right to live, is attempting ti take your right to live away).

11. How do they see themselves: as smart, as intelligent, uneducated?Lyra sees herself as a diplomat, she knows that she’s skilled enough to manipulate people, and attempts to use that talent for good.

17. Did they travel? Where? Why? When?EVERYWHERE. Lyra speaks for the Pale Tree in the Pact and has been with my ‘main hero group’ for a long time. She’s Whispers.affiliated and had been traveling around Tyria since she joined (at age 3).

18. What did they find abroad, and what did they remember?Lyranni is a Thirdborn, many of the things she saw and experienced were completely new for her and helped shape her as a person. She has seen both good and bad things, mercy and cruelty, leaving her with the conclusion that Good and Bad has a balance, none can exist without the other, and even if things seem hopeless, they eventually will get better. Her travels, especially her early travels, are what defines her today

19. What were your character’s deepest disillusions? In life? What are they now?Her most hyprocritical delusion that lasts to this day is actually her faint hope of redeeming Seriyanni, the Courtier, and her former friend. Other than that, she dropped the sylvari-typical naivete and replaced them with the mentality I described earlier.

20. What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?Lyranni witnessed (and contributed to) the founding of the Pact, the victory over Zhaitan and Scarlet, and eventually had to witness the Rise of Mordremoth.

42. What does your character want most? What do they need really badly, compulsively? What are they willing to do, to sacrifice, to obtain?There are two people Lyranni would make irrational sacrifices for: Mahalyn, her lover (and to some extent, student), and Seriyanni, her fallen friend. She already has made sacrifices for the latter, by not killing her when she had the chance, causing innocents to suffer and die in the crossfire, and she is willing to abandon reason and “the greater good” to protect the former.

Shiazz:

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?Shiazz’ foster father was a very busy man, constantly working on his projects, barely having time for him. They weren’t very close and Shiazz could probably not even describe what his father is like, but he did make clumsy attempts to bond with his son from time to time - Shiazz appreciates that, but doesn’t really know how to handle that either. It’s a constant exchange of slightly confused approval.

2. Their mother? How do they think of her? What do they hate? Love? What influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have?His mother,….. tried her hardest to understand and support him during his youth, but there were many things she simply couldn’t understand, she tried to ‘parent’ him a lot, even in his 20s and ended up accidentally abusing him. He knows that she means well, but that doesn’t change the fact that he avoids her as much as he can.

3. Brothers, sisters? Who do they like? Why? What do they despise about their siblings?Shiazz does not have any siblings.

25. What are their hobbies and interests?He enjoys golemancy and tinkering around on more or less useful little gadgets. In addition to that, he also enjoys programming, all of those are things he passes on to his foster daughter Sheasa, teaching her and sharing his passion is something that brings him a lot of joy.He also has a thing for fashion and fancy clothing, he spends a lot of money on that.

27. How do they relate to their appearance? How do they wear their clothing? Style? Quality?Shiazz’ natural hair color is a greyish blue and he hates it, which is why he bleaches it regularly. (dark roots are his worst nightmare) His appearance is important to him, his stuff takes up lots of space in the bathroom, from makeup to lotions and masks - he owns every single beauty products known to man.His clothes vary from practical stuff to wear while working, over his Whispers Uniforms, for when he’s reporting in in person, and his fancy civil clothing, mostly consisting of suits, blouses, and skirts.

41. Is your character aware of who they are? Strengths? Weaknesses? Idiosyncrasies? Capable of self-irony?He….. he’s an asshole and he is aware of that to some degree. His tendency to snark and moodiness is someting he tries to work on, but sometimes, he just doesn’t care. His intellectual and practical strengths are obvious to him, and he does like to brag about them/show them off, but he would never admit that he’s actually a really good, compassionate and supportive father to Sheasa. (he has a reputation to lose, ok)
