Weird headcanon : Indra
What they smell like: ash and firewood. This is normal for the Master of the Fire Element. Valera likes it a lot, he thinks it's a very comforting smell. Like being near the hearth without getting dehydrated.
How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): like a log. Once Indra is in bed, nothing save the end of the world could wake him up. Well this, and a well-applied bucket of water, that Valera is more than able to provide. He always sleeps in weird positions, but less now that he has a merman to hold in his arms, and doesn't move too much. His schedule is a bit weird, and he should go to bed earlier, but never considers it. It's not really a surprised to anyone that he likes to sleep in. And nap. And doze off. And... you get the picture. He likes to sleep in the nude, but always takes great care of re-braiding his hair before sleep, so it doesn't get too tangled or damaged.
What music they enjoy: metal, and that's not even a pun. He loves himself a good metal record. Sometimes, he puts one on in his office, closes the door, and relax. Valera kinda thinks it's as relaxing as taking a nap in a junkyard.
How much time they spend getting ready every morning: a good half-hour AT LEAST. First, he has to get up. Then, drag himself in the shower, where he'll stay an ungodly amount of time, until there's no hot water left. Then, he'll scarf down a gigantic breakfast. Then try to wrestle his hair. Then try to wrestle Valera's hair. Then braid Lakshmi's hair (but her hair is easier). Then, MAYBE, he'll be ready. If he's not caught by the newspaper first. Scratch that, he takes more than an hour.  Â
Their favorite thing to collect: pokemons. Seriously, he's a beast at that game. All his cartridges have full pokedexes, and he even has a bunch of shinies. He trades them with Lakshmi and Jil.
Left or right-handed: ambidextrous
Religion (if any): he was a follower of the Warrior, but hasn't even set foot in her temple for years now. He likes the Sea way more, even if WATER, because Valera worships It, and he likes going to the temple with him. He doesn't pray, but he stays with him, and watches the pretty statues and fountains, and he almost feels at peace.
Favorite sport: husband throwing he's a master of the dravidian martial arts. Don't let the goofy attitude and My Little Pony toys fool you. He'll fucking obliterateyou. He's a master warrior, and didn't win his title of Master of the Arts of Fire by being cute or a bumbly sitcom dad.
Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): find all the pretty ponds, fountains, lakes, etc.... and show them to Valera. Then try to push him in them. Alternatively, he loves trying all the local foods. The spicier, the better, but then again, he likes everything. He still talks about that smoked salmon with a sour cream sauce he once tried in a small village.
Favorite kind of weather: SUN !! ALL THE SUN !!! SO MUCH SUN !! INDRA LOVES SUN !!
A weird/obscure fear they have: that his hair is going to strangle him in his sleep. That's why he braids his and Valera's before sleeping. One never knows when one is going to get attacked by hair.
The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: ANY ARCADE GAME !! He loves arcade games, and he's a beast. Any one will do (except Dance Dance Revolution. No. Nooo.)
