—— what is your character’s full name?
his “true name” as he calls it, has been lost to time. he remembers it, yes, but he has no interest in answering anyone if they happen to ask about it. he simply goes by the nickname that his old human friend granted to him which was “seraph.” he finds it peculiar that they named him and much of his friends and family after angels even though they are far from angelic.
—— when were they born?
again, such a fact is lost. even he has forgotten his own hatching day. he’s convinced that it was sometime during the fall, but he can’t confirm it. sometimes, people bring him gifts around that time if he’s told them such information.
—— what are their parent’s names?
he doesn’t know. he finds it extremely depressing that he’s forgotten. his race usually kept records of every one of their members, but these were destroyed along with everything else that were considered heirlooms after the humans attacked. he hasn’t given them even pseudonyms, feeling like that would be disrespecting their memory.
—— do they have any brothers or sisters?
he had a brother and a sister. his brother was a gruff and ill-mannered child from birth. disrespectful to elders and his peers, he was not popular amongst his community. he showed great joy in picking on his siblings as well as others that he deemed were inferior or weaker than he was. this mentality carried on with him even until adulthood, he was shunned by everyone until he ended up attacking a few blasters. at that point, he was forcefully dragged in front of a council of elders, deemed guilty, and executed. seraph still feels remorse that he was never close to his brother and could not prevent his fate, but he doesn’t think that he didn’t deserve it.
his sister made it a bit further in life, the same human that gave seraph the name seraph named her thrones. thrones was a rather gentle soul, much more agreeable and amiable than most of her kind. much of her kindness was mistaken for weakness, at which point that was the last mistake anyone ever made. her judgments were harsh, she was strict, her view of justice was absolute and unwavering and if you stepped a little bit out of line, she would absolutely obliterate you. her deceased brother attacked her once and she was missing a few ribs because of this. her untimely death came during the humans vs monsters war when a cliff broke apart underneath her while she was fighting a rather large group of soldiers.
—— what kind of eyes do they have?
blasters have different eye colors, it all depends but most of them have white/off-white irises that looks like circles floating around in their eye sockets. the iris is surrounded by fire ( shades vary widely ) when they use their magic. seraph’s is blue.
—— what kind of hair do they have?
literally a skeleton, he has no hair, not even a little bit.
—— what is their complexion like?
he’s a skeleton.
—— what body type are they?
a fucking skeleton.
—— what is listening to their voice like?
if you’ve ever heard smaug’s voice from the hobbit, that’s it. just less echoey, less hissing, a bit higher pitched and a bit more purr to it, i guess. either way, his voice is deep af. here’s a clip of smaug’s voice.
—— do they have a favorite quote?
he likes reading books on theology, while not religious, he finds it fascinating. he’s read the bible front and back because someone brought it to him from waterfall, his favorite quote from that is either “Jesus wept.” ( John 11:35 ) or “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” ( John 8:7 ).
—— what sort of music do they enjoy?
he’s not a big fan of music, he likes it when it’s quiet because it gives him time to think. if he had to choose on a type of music to listen to, though, he would have to go with piano/classical music or anything that seems generally calming and quiet. he also really likes hearing people sing or hum, he finds it relaxing.
—— have they ever cheated on a partner?
goodness no, his kind considers themselves the most moral creatures there are to exist. they wouldn’t dream of cheating on anyone. plus, when they find mates, they’re mates for life, that’s just how it is with them. basically soulmates.
—— have they ever lost someone close to them?
where to begin? he lost his parents, his sister, his mate, his pups, the entirety of his race, a human that he was once the caretaker of/best friends with, gaster, etc. etc. etc. he lost most of what he loved and he’s really resentful about it.
—— what is their favorite sound?
silence. he might settle for the sound of rain, too.
—— what is their opinion on euthanasia?
he thinks that it’s an awful, awful thing to do if there is nothing wrong with the person/animal/monster being put down. he’s strongly against if. if the person/animal/monster is in pain and is going to die anyway, he considers it a necessary evil though not one he is fond of or will support openly ever.
—— are they judgmental of others?
judgmental, not in the conventional sense, i guess? he doesn’t judge people based on appearance or ideals or speech, nothing like that. he judges them based on character, on their soul, their actions, their LOVE. he’s not the type of make half-assed decisions on how a person is.
—— have they ever been drunk?
no, seraph would want a clear head at all times if possible. besides, it wasn't considered "okay" for his kind to drink anything that had alcohol in it, usually nobody did unless it was by accident.
—— what are they like when they stay up all night?
usually staying up for just one day has little to no effect on seraph. if he drags this behavior on for hours, he usually becomes less aggressive and formal, and often uses slang that he would never use in front of anyone ever. he also seems more openly affectionate and show's more animal-like characteristics more frequently like wagging his tail or barking. he's just losing a grip on the polite facade he's built for himself.
—— have they ever been arrested?
nope, and he never plans on getting arrested. that would be his worst nightmare. how would you get a being of his size into a cell anyhow?
—— what color evokes strong memories for them?
green ( deceased mate ), blue ( sans ), orange ( papyrus ), whatever color gaster's magic is, yellow/turquoise/purple ( pups ), red ( frisk/chara ).
—— what to they do on rainy days?
mostly he’ll sit by himself and read a book or think, rainy days provide some nice background noise for seraph to just sit and ponder about things. pre-war, he used to go out in the rain and watch his pups splash about in puddles and when he himself was a tiny thing, he would do the same. now he's too old and too tired to do anything.
—— what religion are they?
he's an atheist. he was agnostic prior to the war but afterward, he developed the mentality "what cruel god would allow these events to transpire" and threw away the idea of a deity ( loving/merciful or not ) altogether.
—— what word do they overuse the most?
technically a phrase but he says "sans, don't do that." quite often.
—— what do they wear to bed?
nothing, he’s a skeleton. it’s not like he has anything to hide.
—— do they have any tattoos or piercings?
nope, nowhere to put ‘em.
—— what type of clothing are they most comfortable in?
sometimes people like to give him makeovers and put clothes on him that are way too small, mostly bows and little hats that barely fit on his horns. he'll tolerate it while it's happening but he's most comfortable not wearing anything, considering he's a skeleton, that's not a bad thing.
—— what is their most disliked saying?
the saying he dislikes most "and they lived happily ever after" because he believes there is no such thing as a happy ending. the saying that he says that other people dislike the most would be something along the lines of "no man is innocent, not even one."
—— do they have any enemies?
probably the entirety of the human race, honestly speaking. he's committed some awful things during times of war ( he doesn't feel bad about most of them ). otherwise, he doesn't think he has many enemies in the underground but who knows, that could change.
—— what does their writing look like?
it looks like half-neat writing and then it starts to become messier with ink blots all over the paper. this is mainly because he has to hold the pen with either his mouth or his tail and most of the time it's way too small for both, he ends up breaking the utensil and gets ink everywhere ( he doesn't like to use pencils as those are even more fragile ).
—— what disgusts them?
most humans, unnecessarily large amounts of vulgarity/profanity, uncooked vegetables, broccoli cooked or uncooked, het hates it.
