Character sheet; Toshiro
The Questions
Date this form was created: 09/24/2013 Full name of Character: Toshiro. (I never gave him a last name. Oops?) Reason, meaning or purpose behind the name: None. Nickname: One of his charges used to call him "angel boy" or "buddy" Reason for nickname: Pretty obvious. Race: Does angel count as a race Occupation/class: In his human double life he lives very modestly with an "inheritance"
Physical Appearance:
Age: His physical age is 20 because that was his age when he died. If you count since he's been dead, he's not too much older. Eye Color: Blue Glasses or contacts? Neither Hair color length and style: Messy, spiky brown hair. Weight and height: 6'1'' and I'll get back to you on weight. Type of body (build): Tall and somewhat muscular. Skin tone and type (i.e., harry, slimy, scaly, oily, fair, burns easily): Fair tone, burns easy, has a few scars. Shape of face: Oval. Distinguishing marks (dimples, moles, scars, birthmarks, etc.): A few scars around his neck because of the nature of his death (I'll get into that soon...) Predominant feature: Uh probably his broad shoulders I guess? Is s/he healthy?: lol yes If not, why not? Or why are they healthy? Do they look healthy? Why/why not?: Yeeeup.
Favorites:
Char’s favorite color: Orange, it stands out. Least favorite, why? Grey because he thinks it's boring. Music? Loves alternative and rock music. Least favorite music, why? He'd listen to pretty much anything tbh Food: Anything you wanna give him. Partial to beef. Literature: He's not big into reading. Expressions: Treat others the way you wanna be treated. Expletives (curse): He doesn't curse often but sometimes he'll say "damn". Mode of transport: He can fly and teleport at will. Otherwise he walks or takes a taxi or something (flying and teleporting both use energy) Hobbies: He still practices his martial arts, works out, etc but he's usually busy keeping an eye on his charges or other things How do they spend a rainy day? His free time is rare but he loves basketball and old cheesy monster movies.
Personality:
Are they a daredevil or cautious? When he was alive he threw caution to the wind. Since becoming an angel, it's been almost a complete reversal. Do they act the same alone as when with someone?: Sure does. Habits: He's very tidy. Drinks: Water and that's pretty much it but sometimes he'll drink juice. Greatest Strength: His empathy, his drive and determination Greatest Weakness: Relies on his heart too much, also terrible at keeping secrets. Soft spot: Has a tendency to get too close to his charges Is their soft spot obvious, why/why not: Definitely. He prefers to make friends rather than be a bird over someone's shoulder. If not, how do they hide it: Biggest Vulnerability: Wearing his heart on his sleeve.
Background:
Hometown: It was a neighboring suburb to the main city the story took place in. Type of childhood: Grew up as an only child, rarely saw his parents because they were always busy with work, so he acted out from a very young age and it got worse as he got older. First Memory: Trying to show his dad a castle he built with his legos but his dad, who was a lawyer, had to rush out the door and did so without looking. Most important child hood event that still effects him/her: Pretty much the distance from his parents. Why? It contributed to his impulsive instincts, among other things. Education: (never really covered this in the original story lol) Religion: WELL........
Family:
Mother: (she was never given a name) Relationship with her: rough because she was hardly home as he grew up, causing arguments as he got older Father: (also never given a name) Relationship with him: same as mother Siblings, How many, relationship with each: no siblings Other extended family: none that he's aware of Close? Why or why not: n/a
Attitude:
Most at ease when: he's sure his charges are safe Most ill at ease when: when his charges are in danger (he pins his entire self worth on his charges) Priorities: charges! Philosophies: Treat others how you want to be treated.
How they feel about themselves: He's aware of the mistakes he's made and constantly strives to be better than he was when he was alive, and feels he's made some very positive changes. Despite his status as an angel he still views himself as very much human.
Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: Despite the fact that his parents were hardly around when he grew up, he regrets that he lashed out at them so much. Why?: They were killed in car accident on their anniversary night, and after his 17th birthday right after he finally made amends with them. And thus, he feels like he screwed up every opportunity to have a good, close relationship with them. This sort of lead to his death later on, as he spent the next few years hiding from authorities, also resolving to fight crime in the city in the style of the city's famous vigilante heroes. Except, even though he was skilled in martial arts, he had a short temper and was very impulsive. At the age of 20 he was killed by an evil wizard he attacked impulsively despite specific directions from a hero friend of his not to, and his head was exploded in a spell (I was 15 when I made him and his backstory okay). But because of good deeds he did during those last few years, he was granted angel status as a chance to redeem himself and sent back to the planet with assigned charges, who were becoming heroes themselves. (there is a lot of complicated story behind the wizard, the heroes, and how it ties in with Toshiro but that's for another time) If granted one wish what would it be, why?: Complicated question, because he misses his parents (his parents are stuck in limbo so he doesn't even have access to them in death), but he's also proud of the work he's done as an angel.
Traits:
Optimist or pessimist? Why? Optimist. At least he is now, almost to a fault, and sometimes to cover up his insecurities. Introvert or extrovert? Why?: Very extroverted, which is how he always ends up associating closely with his charges. Drives and motives: To keep his charges from making the same mistakes he did, and to redeem himself. Talents: Skilled fighter, good listener. In addition to flying and teleportion, he has healing abilities too (all part of the angel thing, may also have other powers he hasn't revealed yet) Extremely skilled at: fighting, when he's thinking straight. Extremely unskilled at: anything domestic (cooking, etc) Good characteristics: empathy Character flaws: impulsiveness (I feel like a broken record, have I bored you yet?) Biggest accomplishment: Any person he's helped save (which has been a lot in both his human life and as an angel), he considers an accomplishment Darkest secret: He fell in love with one of the princesses. Lol :| (though eventually it wasn't a secret anymore, but he tried to keep it a secret from his charges. didn't go so well.) Does anyone know? Let's just says that princess has a big mouth How did they find out: see above
Self-perception:
One word they would use to describe themselves: Caring. One paragraph of how they would describe themselves: He basically just sees himself as someone who's made mistakes but is trying their best (I'm not writing a whole paragraph of the same stuff I've already said OTL) What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: He's proud of his muscles. The worst one? Why?: He hates his hair, it's thick and hard to take care of. How they think others preserve them: As someone who's pathetic. What four things would they most like to change about themselves: Why? To think more clearly in distress. And his hair! That's about it though. If they were changed would they be the same person, why/why not: Probably not because he's known for being impulsive and it's shaped who he is.
Interaction with other people:
How do they relate to others: Lets them talk and tries to relate with them through their experiences. How are they perceived by strangers: Obnoxious, loud. Friends: that's complicated... Wife/husband/lover: see above about the princess The Hero/Heroin: Had a complicated relationship with the main hero of the story who respected the good he did but felt he was in over his head and wanted him to butt out sometimes. How do they view the Hero/Heroine: He had a lot of respect for the main hero because he views him as better/smarter than he was at that age. What do people like most about this char: His caring, empthic nature. What do they dislike most about them: He can be overprotective and sometimes even needy, which gets obnoxious.
Goals:
Immediate: Just to keep his charges safe. Long term: To redeem himself and make the world a little safer. How do they plan to accomplish them: Protecting his charges. It's sort of what he was put back to do. How will others be effected by this: Kind of obvious :|
General:
Favorite clothing, why: Tank tops and comfortable pants. Whatever he can move easily in. Least favorite, why: Anything that restricts movement. For fighting reasons. Jewelry: None. Other accessories: Often wearing a headband to try to keep his hair under control Where do they live: Just outside of the city, but close enough to be near the action. Where do they want to live: He's fine where he's at. Spending habits, why: Doesn't need to spend much because he doesn't need to consume much. What do they do too much of, why: Talk, probably. Most prized possession, why: a photo of his parents because it's all of them that he has left. People they secretly admire, why: Anybody that has it more together than him. Most important person in their life before story starts, why: He was pretty much solo. How do they spend the week just before the story starts: Just monitoring things from a distance and being lonely in the process.
Black Cat (by dizkoteck)
Been scanning the memes for more things to ask Aiden. I think I found a few. How Well Do You Know Your OCs; 42, 46. Get Inside Your Character's Head; 6, 34, 48. NSFW; 3, 19, 27, 29. Please and thank you~~
Thank you omg ;o;
42: Does your OC drink coffee or tea? Neither. He doesn’t really touch coffee but once in awhile he’ll drink tea. He drinks more energy drinks though.
46: Is your OC loyal? He would never betray or cheat someone, but he’s so used to being by himself that sometimes, he’ll push people away without realizing it.
6: Eating habits and sample daily menu. His breakfast is an energy drink. Sometimes he’ll stuff a poptart or toast in his mouth but usually not. He brings his lunch to school to avoid the awkwardness/difficulty of trying to communicate when trying to buy food. His lunch usually consists of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, some chips, and some other snack. Also drinks a lot of soda. For dinner he pretty much eats whatever his mom cooks for the most part. Loves Chinese food but doesn’t get the opportunity to eat it very much. Also loves steak and potatoes.
34: Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?) He’s extremely private. Doesn’t like sharing his inner thoughts and feelings and would take a lot for him to do so. At the same time, he usually doesn’t want to know other people’s private thoughts either.
48: If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like? (lmao you asking this) He wouldn’t even be thinking clearly, his main focus would be to throw as many fists as possible, stay on the offensive. Once he’s pushed that far he’s almost completely invested in his anger.
3: Do you have any unusual kinks/fetishes? Has had fantasies about sex in public places and also erotic asphyxiation. (I HAD A HARD TIME WITH THIS QUESTION FOR SOME REASON)
19: Would you prefer sex in the bath or sex in the shower? Shower. He’d love the idea of shoving someone against the wall and….you get the idea.
27: Early morning sex or late night sex? Late night. He is by no means a morning person and the last thing he’s thinking about is sex.
29: Favourite body part on the same sex? Necks and collar bones.
