Yoinked this OC habit meme. So let's fill it out. :}
I'll do a few characters.
๐ฃ๏ธ Voice
1. Are they talkative?
Austaryia-Rhen: It depends. If she's comfortable enough around you, I would consider her pretty talkative. She isn't really shy.
Huahn: He is a little more reserved, but is talkative around those he's close to as well.
Kaernos: They are a very anxious speaker, so they are likely to sort of word-vomit when they are really worked up.
Serilith: They are more quiet and to themself. They will be talkative around those they love, and those they keep in their close circle, but they are used to people disregarding their words as someone who embodies Chaos, so they prefer silence.
2. Is their voice quiet or loud?
Austaryia-Rhen: Sort of in-between, leaning closer towards quiet.
Huahn: Oh very quiet. I describe his cadence as being just above a whisper.
Kaernos: Somewhat quiet when calm, but gets progressively louder when anxiety takes hold.
Serilith: Quiet for certain. Much like Huahn, they are very soft-spoken.
3. Do they have unusual speech patterns?
Austaryia-Rhen: Not in particular. I wouldn't consider any of her speech patterns unusual
Huahn: Not particularly unusual, but he has a very poetic, flowery way of speaking.
Kaernos: They refer to themself in plural. Saying "We" instead of "I" or "Our" instead of "My". This is due to them embodying several galaxies as a supercluster.
Serilith: Just like their Dam, they speak in plural. Though they are not a supercluster and are a singular galaxy, they encompass much within their galaxy, and thus, refer to the whole of themself, not just the singular.
4. Do they have an accent or dialect?
It's hard to really pinpoint any particular accent or dialect on my characters because they are all aliens. They have their own dialects in regards to their world, but there isn't really a 1:1 real world equivalent in my mind.
5. Do they like to sing? Are they good at it?
Austaryia-Rhen: She enjoys singing very much and is good at it, much like all Wienavar are.
Huahn: He prefers playing his zither over singing, but he has a very gentle singing voice.
Kaernos: They can sing, but they are pretty shy about singing around anyone other than their children and mate.
Serilith: They too can sing, though they don't do so very often. They are skilled with it.
๐๏ธ Hands
6. Left handed, right handed, ambidextrous?
Austaryia-Rhen: Right handed
7. Neat or messy hand writing?
Austaryia-Rhen: She has fairly neat hand writing.
Huahn: Very neat, very precise.
Kaernos: Depends on their anxiety levels. Neat when calm, but definitely more messy and hectic when stressed out.
Serilith: Very artsy, very fancy writing.
8. Do they draw/paint a lot?
Austaryia-Rhen: She does, quite frequently. She likes keeping sketchbooks and drawing portraits and scenes of her loved ones within them. It's a habit she picked up from Morgรผhn.
Huahn: He enjoys painting with watercolors a lot, and engages in it in his free time
Kaernos: They prefer pottery crafts over drawing / painting.
Serilith: They are fond of painting, though they do not do it very often.
9. Are they good or bad at making handicrafts?
Austaryia-Rhen: She learned how to do leather work for survival, so she's pretty good with it.
Huahn: He's good with it, especially with doing flower arrangements.
Kaernos: They are very skilled with it. Pottery is one of their favorite types of crafts to do.
Serilith: They are also very skilled with it, and have a fondness for tailoring.
10. Do they need their hands occupied a lot? If so, what do they do?
Austaryia-Rhen: If she is fidgety, she might occupy herself with drawing in her sketchbook.
Huahn: He doesn't need his hands occupied much, but if he does, he would play his zither.
Kaernos: They fidget a lot, often twisting clothing or hair in their hands.
Serilith: They're not the type to need their hands occupied, so they're fine with remaining still.
๐ Food
11. Whatโs their favorite food/least favorite food?
Austaryia-Rhen: Favorite Food - Fruit Tarts. Least Favorite - None.
Huahn: Favorite Food - Cinnamon Rolls. Least Favorite - Spicy Peppers.
Kaernos: Favorite Food - Pear Pie. Least Favorite - Venison.
Serilith: Favorite Food - Morgรผhn Meat Pies. Least Favorite - Leafy Greens.
12. Are they a picky eater?
Austaryia-Rhen: Not at all. She unfortunately had a long period of time where she faced starvation, so any sort of food is good to her. She can and will pretty much eat anything.
Huahn: Not particularly. He enjoys good quality cooking of course, but he can handle most things that might be out of his comfort zone to eat, save for spicy foods.
Kaernos: They aren't really that picky. Food is something that their kind partakes in for the pleasure of it, not really for nourishment.
Serilith: Much like Kaernos, they're not really picky, for the same reasons.
13. Any food they avoid for reasons other than taste?
Austaryia-Rhen: Not really. Like I said, she's not really picky about any sort of food. If it'd edible, she'll eat it.
Huahn: He does not enjoy spicy food at all. The burning of his throat reminds him of the days in his youth when he was poisoned, so he avoids anything that reminds him of that sensation.
Kaernos: Due to their own deer-like appearance, they are a little put off at the idea of eating any creature that resembles their cosmic form.
Serilith: They aren't bothered by things outside of taste, so not really.
14. How are their table manners?
Austaryia-Rhen: Can sometimes eat a little quickly, especially when sweets are involved, but otherwise is polite.
Huahn: Very polite, very well-mannered.
Kaernos: They have good table manners.
Serilith: Their table manners are also fine.
15. Do they rather eat too much or too little?
Austaryia-Rhen: She eats a healthy amount, unless she is given access to a lot of sweets. She has stuffed herself silly with sweets in the past. She considers it well worth the stomach ache.
Huahn: He would rather eat too little than too much.
Kaernos: They don't really need to eat outside of the pleasure of it.
Serilith: Same with Kaernos, they don't really need to eat in the traditional sense, so there is no way they really can eat too much or too little.
16. Do they prefer to eat alone or with company?
They are all very social and prefer to eat with the company of friends and family.
17. Are they good at cooking?
All of them are. Austaryia-Rhen, Huahn, and Kaernos all excel at baking, while Serilith enjoys and does well with cooking.
๐๏ธSleep
18. Morning person or night owl?
Austaryia-Rhen: Night owl.
19. Easy to fall asleep or insomniac?
Austaryia-Rhen: Insomniac. Her hyper-vigilance can sometimes keep her awake longer than she should be.
Huahn: Easy to fall asleep. He doesn't really struggle with it.
Kaernos: Only struggles to sleep when they are anxious.
Serilith: Easy to fall asleep.
20. Light or heavy sleeper?
Austaryia-Rhen: Very light. She is usually on alert, even while resting, so the smallest thing can wake her up.
Huahn: He's a decently heavy sleeper.
Kaernos: Heavy sleeper. Once they're out, they're out.
Serilith: They are a rather light sleeper, due to the fact they've had people invading their realm in the past, so they kinda are a 'sleep with one eye open' sort of person.
21. Do they move around a lot while sleeping?
Austaryia-Rhen: She'll move around a lot only when having a nightmare.
Huahn: Not really. He stays pretty still.
Kaernos: Fidgets around in bed until Ah'styroth gathers them in his arms. Then they'll be still.
Serilith: She'll remain still.
22. Are they used to sleeping around others or alone?
Austaryia-Rhen: Technically both. She has had a long period of time where she slept alone, but now that she has her mates, she usually sleeps with them.
Huahn: He is used to sleeping around others.
Kaernos: Until Ah'styroth came into their life, they were very much used to sleeping alone.
Serilith: Alone, unless their bonded comes to sleep with them in their realm.
Nope, none of them snore.
24. Other sleeping habits?
Austaryia-Rhen: Likes to curl up on her side and snuggle close with her mates, often coiling her tail around their tail or their leg.
Huahn: Likes to wrap a wing around his mates while he sleeps.
Kaernos: Likes to sleep with their face pressed against Ah'styroth's chest.
Serilith: Likes to keep their bonded within her coils while they sleep.
