Hello from the random oc questions tabby kitten!!💙
How is your character wrong? What misconceptions about the world, others, and/or themselves do they have? Do they ever work past these misconceptions?
Hello! I’m going to answer this OOC, since I feel like a character answering would be airing out everyone else’s dirty laundry. Despite their squabbles and differences, the Twelve Guardians are one big family.
Tala: Thinks she's the center of the universe and that everything is about her. If she's not included in something, she gets angry.
Mayari: Way too single-minded in her goal to defeat the Bakunawa; this leads her to neglect spending time with the other Guardians or occupying herself with other things.
Oryol: Somewhat manipulative. Given her hypnosis powers, she sometimes charms people to get what she wants.
Lidagat: Super pessimistic. Fitting as the Guardian of heartache, but she just needs to lighten up sometimes.
Lihangin: Can't pay attention to a task to save his life. He's always switching from one thing to the next, rarely finishing anything.
Mariang Makiling: Set in her ways. She thinks everything can be solved by doing what was done before.
Anitan Tabu: Has loose morals. She'll stir up trouble if it means getting a good laugh out of it.
Mapulon: Laidback to the point of laziness. He'll let the other Guardians solve problems and rarely gets involved.
Ikapati: Excessively patient and forgiving. She believes in the good of people, to the point that she tolerates mortals taking advantage of her generosity.
Mariang Sinukuan: Doesn't really act on emotions - might not even have any? She operates on pure logic and empirical data, although she knows her limits.
Mariang Kakaw: Has a short fuse and a big mouth. If something displeases her, she'll say it even if it means the other person getting hurt.
Magwayen: Acts like her word is law when it comes to mortals. She's inflexible with her judgments on their morality and is a stickler for the rules of the afterlife.
On a whole, self-awareness isn't really their strong suit. They're gods, and don't really change or grow up the way mortals do. I want to explore these flaws in future stories, so thanks for prompting me to come up with them!
