24th day of the 365 Days Of Character Development writing game! Basically how it works is that each day, we use (with permission, of course) a question from my friend's book on character development to get our creative juices flowing! If you like this game, I recommend buying the book to support an independent creator!
Here's today's question:
If your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life what would it be, and why?
I'll be answering for the main characters of my game Romance The Backrooms. I’d love to hear the answer to the prompt for your characters—reply, reblog, and/or make your own post (and give me the link, because I’d love to see it!).
Carla (the main character) would probably choose quesadillas, because you can make them in so many ways and still have them taste different!
Kalcal would probably choose popcorn, one of his favorite treats.
Glarence would choose almond water, out of pure practicality.
Uri would choose the ice cream that The Ice Cream Man gives out, because it makes him feel nostalgic for some reason. It makes him feel like he can actually remember the past, even when it so often feels out of reach.
Zenobos would choose beef jerky—a human gave him to him once and he loved it!
Adiel doesn’t need to eat to survive, so he probably wouldn’t choose anything.
LUCIA would probably take sushi - tuna or salmon to be fair and properly narrow it down. The two are both texturally very satisfying to her and she enjoys eating them a lot. Sushi is her favorite kind of food in the world.
WALLY has no need to eat to survive - a common trait amongst my otherworldly cast - but would find a world without toffee in it to be a mite lonelier. If he were only allowed one treat, it would be that. To BUCKET, well...life is that ol'...y'know... OKAY IT'S CHOCOLATE. Can we compromise? Can it include the stuff you get in boxes? Stuff with filling? He would miss a cup of coffee which says that's probably what he'd pick when you come right down to it but he is generally a freak for chocolate or anything with caffeine in it at all. LUCIA'S MOM would take sushi too. Probably close to if not the same as what Lucia would pick; maybe less fatty cuts. She is where Lucia comes by her tastes from and would envision a similar one food forever scenario. PRAVD knows it would be some kind of cake but the trouble would be what kind. Cake goes best with tea. That's just how it is. She's thinking probably at this point coffee cake; the consistency of it is just right. That said, she has a nostalgic memory somewhere of funnel cake and that strikes her as breaking convention. The issue with that one just is the way it gets all over your hands. She probably lands on coffee cake. (I) is not particular about any kind of food really but, if pressed, does have a taste for Singapore noodles. Any meal for all of time would do if that was how it had to be. THE HARVESTER is a simple man and his tastes are simple. It's probably just burgers for him. There is something about them that is precise, undemanding, he would trade them away for deli sandwiches or hot dogs, but they would needlessly complicate the prompt. Too many permutations. DEMIAN would live off sea urchin forever if it were the only food he were allowed. It was a rare treat for him before he became an OOC and it has a fascination for him now.
