orphi?

orpheus, even when i feel as if i don’t know you anymore (there’s a whole world between us and there will be no translation unless i too win), i love you the most. we’re further away than ever, but you’ll see we’ll be closer soon, if everything works out. fuck. i think you ruined me. i think i could have died gladly in the 118th if you gave me a heads-up. i would have been happy to die for you. this way, for a stranger? i might not rest so peacefully. anyway, i’m trying to win. for you, partly. if i die, it’s no tragedy for me. for the first time, you’d miss me more than i miss you. which is the only consequence i don’t think i can handle. you make me want to punch a wall into demolition. you think it’s me who fucked everything up, but it’s really a mix between the two of us. but i don’t blame you unless you blame me.

21. How do they display affection?  Nikita likes to give gifts or make something easier for someone she cares about. She’s not great at expressing affection or gratitude verbally or physically in a way that feels sufficient, but it feels more meaningful to her to show that she’s grateful and thinking about someone. 33. Do they keep their promises?

Yes. Nikita isn’t the type purposefully deceive or break her word.

39. What do they think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

Losing a home. Whether that be their family, or a physical space, or both. Feeling like she’s on the outside has kept her preoccupied most of her life.

67. Does your character believe in fate or destiny?

No. Agatha believes that the world is just a cruel and unfortunate chance occurrence. To try to find any meaning in it is a waste of time, people should instead simply enjoy what little they can.

79. How easy is it for them to read the emotions of others?

Very. She teeters on sociopathic in that she will manipulate any perceived emotional weakness if it’s to her advantage, but she also has her own quiet ways of empathizing with and protecting a select few that she has deemed acceptable company.

87. How would your character describe themself in three words?

Queen, Classy, Ambitious

038. What bad habits do they have?

Despite being drilled as a child on how to act like a lady by her father, whose ideas of propriety were old-world at best, Bellona’s not particularly... polite. She eats with her hands, elbows on the table, chews with her mouth open. She doesn’t sit with her legs crossed. The only time she’s quiet, demure, anything approaching the ‘lady’ her father wanted her to act like, is when she’s playing the piano. Of course, this never stopped her father from adoring her.

048. Do they have any allergies?

She’s allergic to stupid!!!!

Jk. She doesn’t have any allergies because when you’re a real-life person with food intolerances writing a character you don’t want to give them food intolerances either. She’s probably had plenty of bad reactions to poison ivy/oak/etc., though, from playing in the woods and not being careful.

053. What is your character’s greatest strength?

Bella’s clever at winning people over. She did it during her Games and it saved her life. She knows how to sweet talk and she has a magnetic personality.

063. How well does your character handle difficult people?

It depends on what kind of ‘difficult’ they are. Growing up as the youngest of eight children, he learned to be obstinate and difficult himself in order to get what he wanted, because it was easy for his voice to be drowned out. So if someone is being stubborn or obnoxious, he can be that way in return, leading to a stalemate. If someone is trying his patience, though, he’s quick to snap, not very good at keeping his temper under control.

073. In a novel, what plot role would your character fill? (hero, anti-hero, sidekick, villain, etc.)

Probably the hero ;) But in seriousness he has the sort of ‘hero’s journey’ quality going on — being swept up in something he didn’t really mean to be a la Frodo or Harry Potter, and just having to make it work.

071. How kind is your character?

It depends on who he’s talking to. He’s kind to the people he cares about but he isn’t nice. He’ll tease and bother and poke at people, and he’s not afraid of conflict. But for those he cares about, he won’t go out of his way to purposefully upset them.

rory?

Saiyyad understands why the younger girl turns a solid red when he’s around, but he’s aiming for smoother ground where the two of them can be more themselves around the other. He wishes she weren’t on the same team as him though. He thinks gamemaking is beneath her.

orphi? also rory, but im running low on asks here

Orpheus Orpheus both fascinates and terrifies Alder. There have been sides of Orpheus he almost likes- the ones at parties, mostly, where he sees what Maverick talks about when he discusses him. He’s sure there’s someone he might get along with in there, but there’s always some kind of forced edge to their interactions. On the other hand, he’s seen the deadly side of Orpheus, the one that cut his arena to a mere 18 hours. He’s only ever touched that side of him, but any time he’s around Orpheus he cannot forget the times the mask peeled back to show that self. Rory

Alder is incredibly grateful that Rory exists. She’s probably the only person he’s met that can match his awkwardness, and while they both have very strange interactions from barely-contained anxiety, he still likes doing things with her. There’s no pressure with her to be anything other than what he is.
