Ooh, I like this one.

🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?

Honestly, I don’t think Vortex would change much of what’s happened to him. It was horrible, and he has a lot of fear and uncertainty where his past is concerned, but it’s also a part of him. He might change individual moments, but he wouldn’t want to erase it all. As much as he may not like it, everything that happened on Kamino shaped him in a way nothing else has. He’d much rather move forward than look back. 

🏞️ If your OC could travel to anywhere in their world where would they go? Why? If they could live there would they?

💎 Does your OC collect anything? Is there a reason? When did they start and is it beginning to turn into a little bit of a hoarding issue? What do they do with their collection?

I’ve never really thought about if Vortex would collect anything, but he isn’t the type to hold on to physical things. If he were to collect something, it would probably be small enough to carry around. It might be something that doesn’t make sense to other people but has a lot of significance for him. 

His knife doesn’t count. He does not have a knife collection. 

💐 Does your OC like flowers? What are their favourites? Do they keep a garden of some sort? What flowers would they use in a flower crown?

First off, the idea of Vortex wearing a flower crown is really funny. He wouldn’t be caught dead in one. The only person who could ever get him to do that is Tara (although she’d probably force him to do it). Not even Alpha could convince him to. 

He appreciates flowers in an aesthetic sense, but they’re not the first thing he notices in a new place. That said, I could see him enjoying just sitting and observing. He likes brighter ones like roses or daffodils, but he likes the simplicity of sunflowers too. 

n(Starting with this one because it made me laugh.) 

F: Is your muse good at flirting? How do they flirt?

He has really loose concepts of romance that he probably picked up from holovids or things he overhears in the barracks, so when it comes to flirting, he has absolutely no idea what to do. It just doesn’t make sense to him. 

If he were to ever try, he’d probably try to make a joke, but his sense of humor definitely isn’t for everyone, so it might come off as fatalistic rather than funny. He’d definitely be too nervous to try for a compliment or something like that. 

O: Does your muse have a way with words?

In a romantic sense, absolutely not. He’s not romantically inclined in any way, so he’s not a smooth-talker by any means. If anything, he’s more likely to trip over his words and generally make a mess of things. The more nervous he is, the more likely he is to give up and revert back to his usual sarcastic self. 

☀️ What makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?

Unfortunately, I can’t think of a specific moment that I would associate as being Vortex’s happiest, but Alpha is his favorite person in the galaxy. Once Vortex learned to trust him, their bond was fast and deep. They still bicker and snark at each other, of course, but Vortex wouldn’t trade their friendship for anything. 

He also really likes just sitting and looking at the stars. He finds them calming. 

❄️ What makes your OC sad, so sad that they can’t help but cry all day? How do they cheer themself up? Does their sadness upset any of their loved ones too?

Vortex would be absolutely devastated if he were to lose Alpha. He would fall apart and not know how to put himself back together. Alpha grounds him, and Vortex is afraid that he’ll fall into the darkness he’s been running from and never overcome it. 

This is a pretty interesting one, because frankly I have no idea. 

I guess it depends on what that knowledge is, exactly. If it’s something that’ll save his brothers’ lives - Separatist battle plans or troop movements, etc. - he would relay it to command.
