25, 50, 75 and 100 for the character development meme
☾ development ask meme– answered & no longer accepting!
025. What do they consider beautiful in others personality-wise?
People who have personalities unlike himself are the type he gravitates towards; others who wear their heart on their sleeve and have a childish naivety about the world around them. He subconsciously feels the compulsion to protect them from the harsh world he endured. He’ll do anything to protect that vulnerability.
050. How does your character feel about their own mortality?
Watching his parents’ lives taken by vampires, it was ingrained within him at a young age that he is a human living on borrowed time. Every year that passes is longer than he thought he would live. Vanitas knows that his flame could be snuffed out just as easily as his parents’. With all he has faced until now, he’ll be lucky to see another 20 years of life. The experiments he was subjected to by Dr. Moreau, and the vampire of the blue moon’s power could all have adverse effects on his human body in the future– but for now he is surviving one day at a time.
075. Is your character ticklish? He’s very ticklish, especially around his waist and abdomen. Though, there’s only one person who has ever ventured close enough to discover that.
100. Does your character dream? If so, what do they dream about?
Calling them dreams would be doing them a disservice, they are more akin to nightmares. They revolve around the early years of his life when his trauma first struck– the loss of his parents, the torture that was inflicted upon him by the Chasseur researcher, Dr. Moreau, and the day he finally left the vampire of the blue moon’s fold and his adoptive brother behind. They leave him shaken and vulnerable, to say the least, and often with immobilizing nausea. His post-traumatic stress intensifies and lessens depending on his exposure to reminders, and has been worsening over the recent months following his run in with Moreau. His night terrors are the reason he doesn’t sleep by others for very long, for fear that they would see him in a vulnerable state.
