the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to
hm she’s pretty good about not falling asleep where she’s not supposed to - but i can see while she’s on the run from ashley and keaton she doesn’t always find herself a very safe place to sleep and just ... does her best
the game they'd destroy everyone else at
poker - she has an excellent poker face
the emoticon they’d use most often
✨
what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep
grumpy and irritated. she doesn’t speak, communicates in angry eyes and tight lips.
their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.
tea, of any kind! likes a caffeinated black tea in the morning and herbal later on in the day.
how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump
goes for a long hike, meditates, has a cup of tea and reads a book
what they wanted to be when they grew up
didn’t have much of a choice - she’s always had to be the living storm. so she wanted to be given the choice of what to become.
alternatively, a lawyer or a nurse
their favorite kind of weather
all the weather! she does love a good lightning storm though - will stay awake to sit and watch it, maybe go and let the lightning skim over her skin and enjoy the tickling sensation.
thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)
alto! has a decent voice but doesn’t sing on her own much. would sing with others though!
1. What's their full name? If they're an alien and their name is in their native planet's language, have you thought about what it means?
Trenton Isaac Eligius Baker
Trenton refers to the English river Trent. Generally, Trent goes by the shortened version of his name because he thinks his name is a bit pretentious. He’s named after his maternal great-grandmother, whose maiden name was Trenton and the line ended with her generation since she had no brothers.
Isaac is a Biblical name meaning ‘laughter’ and the man was the only son of Abraham and Sarah. Poppy chose Isaac for Trent’s middle name because she thought he would be her only son (Winston was a happy accident).
Eligius is Trent’s confirmation name, which he chose for himself. honestly he doesn’t really tell anyone this name because a) it’s Eligius and b) he chose it. Reed would mock him FOREVER. anyway - St Eligius is the patron saint of metalworkers and goldsmiths - Trent, when he took his confirmation (he didn’t get confirmed in high school as most Catholic kids would be - he did it as an adult) chose the name in hopes of honouring his father through his Catholic faith. it’s complicated but i think his heart was in it.
Baker is an occupational name, which is pretty self-explanatory. Trent himself, is a terrible baker.
4. What would their favorite cartoons be, and why? What would their favorite characters be?
Trent likes cartoons like Samurai Jack, Archer, Bojack Horseman, Bob’s Burgers, and The Simpsons. he also loves old-school Bugs Bunny cartoons, and the Spider Man show from the 60s. he’s a die-hard Disney and Dreamworks fan, and has harboured a secret dream of working for both companies to design new animation software.
his favourite cartoon characters include: Ron Stoppable (Kim Possible), Hiccup Haddock III (How To Train Your Dragon), Aku (Samurai Jack), Morty (Rick & Morty)
12. If they were an actual character in an animated film or TV series, who would they be voiced by? Do they have a certain accent that the person would need to perfect?
Ben Affleck because of the Boston accent.
im joking.
actually tho - Chris Evans. he’s got the boy-next-door timbre that I think Trent would have, and he can play the awkward best friend-hero trope that Trent fits into while bringing a lot of heart to him. also this. he sounds more like this.
Oh wow, that was so long ago, I don’t even remember her name. I know she had unnaturally red hair and a boyfriend named Dante (Dante wasn’t my OC, he belonged to someone else). There had to be several before her as well because I wrote stories when I was younger. After her, I had like six Maximum Ride OCs. And then my first PJatO OC, a girl named Daphne who dyed her bangs blue.
19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)
So many of my OCs are very important to me. I think I’ve said this before, but Elenore means a lot to me because she was one of my first OCs. I’ve had Lotus for about the same amount of time but Elenore was the first OC of mine that had a mental illness. When I created her, I was really struggling and she was someone I could vent through. I’ll always have a soft spot for her.
43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It's time to confess
Well obviously I like gay characters since literally all of my OCs are queer (except for maybe Lotus who’s gray-aro but doesn’t identify as lgbt+). Majority of my OCs are mentally ill. Recently, I’ve made more of my OCs trans because it’s helped me come to terms with my own gender. I do really like tattoos and dyed hair but because I was always worried about making too many of my OCs have tattoos and dyed hair, not many of them do. As for character traits, I’m not sure I favor anything overall? With boys, I do have a habit of making them softies and sweethearts. My girls end up being tough and are mostly “take-no-shit” type of people. That’s not true for all the boys or all the girls but they’re definitely repeated themes.
49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes
CONNIE she and Reed send Jules memes all the time he ends up blocking their phone numbers sometimes. Also JJ but he likes angstier memes as opposed to the sillier ones. Though he can still appreciate the sillier ones. Keenan likes the occasional meme as well.
How I feel about this character - tbh I don’t really know him that well but from what I do know I like him a lot!! He’s flawed in realistic ways yet really lovable and that’s one of my favorite type of character designs
All the people I ship romantically with this character - Katie is great with him! also I’ve liked p much every crackship you’ve posted with him lol especially Jean. He and Parker would be cute too
My non-romantic OTP for this character - Sabel for sure! and the USH
My unpopular opinion about this character - is it a surprise that I don’t have one
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. - Parker and Jasper singing and playing instruments together and just generally jamming out omg. Also maybe with Daniel and Sunny joining them. musical nerds~
Sabel
How I feel about this character - um??? I love her. Gay and powerful lady?? sign me the fuck up
All the people I ship romantically with this character - Azra!!!!!! I love them so much okay
My non-romantic OTP for this character - Jasper ofc, the hunters of artemis (including Maria), Atsa
My unpopular opinion about this character - ????
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. - Azra and Sabel are both stubborn, hard-headed, and proud people and it seems inevitable that they’d end up having some pretty nasty arguments bc of that. They definitely care about each other a lot but I think it would be interesting to address how their pride can interfere with their relationship.
Dev remains religious even after the years of his parents using their faith as an excuse for hate. He finds comfort in God and knowing that someone might be looking out for him
He gets into fights a lot because when he’s bored he goes looking for trouble
An alternative to looking for trouble when he bored is getting high. His drug habits start out as every so often occurrences but by the time he’s out of Hogwarts, he’s already overdosed once
He does a lot of hard drugs and it really fucks him up for a while. He tries to quit several times but the withdrawal is unbearable
Definitely on the autistic spectrum but he never gets diagnosed with it, nor does he get diagnosed with ADHD. He gets diagnosed with depression in rehab
Loves motorcycles. It’s his biggest special interest.
He’s also interested historical and modern dance, inspired by watching Roony dance.
He has a brown leather jacket that he wears all the time
Wears a lot of denim shirts. Often he layers a t-shirt, a denim shirt, and his leather jacket. If it’s too hot for all three, he’ll take out one of the layers
Frequently gets told that he’s “wasting his gift” by slacking off in school and having no ambition. Truth is, he’s terrified of failure and he’d rather not try at all than try and fail.
His intelligence screws him over a lot because it’s difficult to keep him stimulated. He needs to constantly be challenged or he gets into trouble and Hogwarts doesn’t challenge him and keep him interested enough.
He really likes sex
but he doesn’t like people even lightly touching him unless he says it’s okay
When he wants attention, he’s much like a cat. He’s sat on Roony’s lap and blocked him from his work several times when he’s wanted attention
Misses class a lot because he gets too into reading a book or learning about something new
He can really be a brat if he doesn’t get what he wants. He won’t throw a tantrum but he’ll be snippy and grumpy about everything
However, he’s never like this in front of his parents. He hates getting lectured or scolded so he avoids anything that might annoy them
He got scolded a lot growing up because he’s such a reckless kid. After it happening so often, he’s really good at quietly taking someone yelling at him
Doesn’t understand people a lot of the time. He’ll say things without realizing they’re offensive and then won’t notice that the person is offended for a while, if at all
Sometimes he feels really guilty for disappointing his parents and other times his parents expecting him to do well and not paying attention to how he’s feeling makes him really insolent
He does honestly feel bad when he offends or hurts his friends
the sunniest person you wil ever mett he can make anything awful sound like the best thing ever he’s just always so upbeat - that being said he does have a breaking point and it will and can get Very bad.
when he’s sad or upset, or angry, he closes off 100% and will just kind of pop between dimensions without thinking about it and won’t really register where he is or who he’s with and will get lost for a long time until he feels better.
his room in the boarding house is covered in posters, and the house doesn’t change in different dimensions but the people do so someone will ask about a band and he’ll be all ‘oh that’s one of my favourites, did you hear their lp’ and they’ll be v confused. he doesn’t really explain about other dimensions much but will talk about his own experiences there
he likes flowers. has a lil succulent garden in his room.
wears a lot of bright patterned clothing - doesn’t care if they match or not but he dresses well without trying
not religious at all, but will go to sermons/services/prayer with anyone if they ask. he thinks if people need something to explain the world to them, he shouldn’t be the one to ruin it for them. finds religion endlessly interesting, if a bit violent.
"staring at the other's lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in" with anyone :)
Both Nikos and Graham sat on Graham’s bed, buried under blankets to escape the cold. Graham had his Superman fleece blanket wrapped around him in such a way that he could doodle in his sketchbook. Nikos kept periodically peering over, trying to catch a glimpse of what Graham was drawing since he refused to show him.
“Can I pleeeaaase see?” Nikos said, leaning toward him again. He had a stack of Graham’s Catwoman comics next to him and was flipping through them as Graham doodled.
“No,” Graham said, holding his sketchbook against his chest. “None of my drawings are any good. They’re just embarrassing.”
“Yeah, right,” Nikos said. “You should draw me.” Both of them knew Nikos was suggesting that to piss Graham off. He didn’t even bother hiding his smile.
“Ask me that again,” Graham said. “I dare you.”
“No really. Hey, you should draw me. I’m a great muse,” Nikos said, striking a pose.
As Graham leaned forward to whack Nikos’ arm, Nikos snatched the sketchbook off of Graham’s lap and jumped off the bed. Graham made a noise of protest and lurched after him. Nikos held the sketchbook high above his head, flipping through it as Graham tried to jump up and grab it.
“Graham, these are so good!” Nikos said, stepping away from him. Graham huffed and moved away. Thinking Graham had given up, Nikos let his guard down. Then he was being tackled, grabbed around the waist and slammed down onto Graham’s bed.
“Give it,” Graham said. He was straddling Nikos and clearly aware of it, as his face had turned as red as his hair.
“Alright, fine,” Nikos said, handing Graham his sketchbook. “Here.”
“Thank y-” The wind was knocked out of him as Nikos unexpectedly forced him onto his back. Out of surprise, Graham had dropped his sketchbook and it fell to the side of the two of them. “Since when do you tackle people?” Nikos asked.
Graham struggled under Nikos’ weight but it was no use; Nikos had him pinned down, his legs on either side of Graham’s hips and his hands locked around Graham’s wrists. Sighing dramatically, Graham gave up and rolled his eyes.
“Will you let me go?” Graham said, wiggling a bit. “You proved your point. I’m a weak little twink. Now lemme go.”
But Nikos wasn’t paying attention. He’d leaned forward to mock Graham but then Graham had started wiggling and it was admittedly very distracting. Now, he was closer to Graham than he could ever remember being.
Despite the fact he was staring directly at Graham’s lips, it took him a minute to realize Graham had stopped talking or making any noise. He glanced up and Graham was staring at him, his cheeks red again.
“Hi,” Graham said quietly.
Nikos gulped and started to pull back. He would’ve climbed off of Graham if he hadn’t noticed that Graham was now staring at his lips. They made eye contact again and Nikos gave in, leaning forward to kiss him. He released his grip on Graham’s wrists and immediately Graham tangled his fingers in Nikos’ hair, thoroughly messing it up. Nikos would’ve complained if he’d messed it up under different circumstances but right now he was too focused on kissing Graham.
Their kiss was breathy and desperate. Graham was handsy, grabbing at Nikos’ hair, his shirt, his arms, his ass, his thighs. Nikos kissed with his entire body, his hips rolling, his shoulders falling forward as he slid his hand down Graham’s chest.
When Nikos pulled away, they were both out of breath and embarrassingly and obviously hard. Graham’s cheeks flared red again and he covered the top half of his face with his arm. Nikos moved away and pulled his knees up. Graham covered himself with a pillow.
“That was…” Nikos started, searching for the right word. Nice? Amazing? Fucking hot?
The flush in Graham’s cheeks hadn’t faded but he seemed to have relaxed. He looked at Nikos, moving his arm away enough that he could see him. As soon as he saw him, with his mussed hair and knees pulled up, Graham cracked up laughing. Soon, Nikos was snickering too.
When their laughter finally died down, Nikos said, “Maybe I should steal your sketchbook more often.”
“No,” Graham said. “Stay away from my sketchbook.”
“Fine,” Nikos said, still grinning. He picked up one of the Catwoman comics and started flipping through it.
After a few moments of silence, Graham said. “Maybe I should tackle you more often.”
“Please do,” Nikos said with a smirk that made Graham want to kick him and kiss him.
