Kon - ☯, εжз, ☛, ❤, ✗, ❣, ♡
☯ :Do they believe for every darkness there is a lightness? If not, why?
In Life Dust he was going to develop a more balanced view like this. In his new original setting not so much, he’s a lot more cynical due to his history (details of which I’m still hashing out but, for reference, he’s a skin walker and their whole deal is generally very unpleasant). In Nightmare Acaemy I think, due to more positive influences from a young age, he would like to think more positively like this.
εжз :What about nature do they find calming? What about nature do they find disagreeable?
How open and expansive it is, among just about everything else. The sights, the smells, the sounds, the sky, grass beneath his puppy feets, It’s so much nicer to be out wandering and get lost than to be cooped up and unable to go anywhere.
☛ :What is their typical response to being given orders?
It depends entirely on context; how the order is given, who’s giving it, what the order is. For the most part, if it’s reasonable and not yelled at him, he’ll go along with it. If it’s something he doesn’t like for any reason he’s more liable to blow it off.
❤ :Describe a physical action that shows complete trust.
Touch, generally, is reserved for people he is close to. Decisive and intimate touches, that is; a hand to the shoulder, ruffling hair, going arm in arm, hugs. The clearest sign you definitely have his trust though is if he naps near, with, or on you because he’s completely vulnerable.
✗ :Explain how they portray feelings of hostility or dislike.
Very clearly. Glaring, cringing or otherwise bearing teeth, he’ll even growl at you if it’s strong enough. He also isn’t above shoving or other hostile behavior leading up to an outright brawl, if provoked enough.
❣:Describe a way that will earn affection (whether platonic or romantic) from them.
Being calm, not carrying drama around, soft voices and light touches. He actually really likes having his hair played with, too, and getting his head or back scratched, so yes please he will totally like you for all those things.
♡ :Is there a certain scent that brings about nostalgia? If so, describe a memory this scent brings back.
Scents are extremely potent and powerful for Kon and just about any strong scent can set off a whole lot of thoughts or feelings. Regarding an original setting, I would say burnt wood brings back some unpleasant memories despite it being a nice smell but for NMA I think there would be a scent like herbs or old paper or something that would remind him of the nightmares that raised him but still hashing those details out.
