15, 43, 49

So you didn’t specify a character, so I’ll do all of the ones I listed, could get long so I’ll put them under the cut :)

15. Are they good at cooking? Do they Enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?

Ellisot: He has learned a lot about cooking from his parents. He isn’t a gourmet chef, but he is creative. Standard Vigil rations can be used to create a meal that reminds a soldier of home in Ellisot’s hands. He enjoys the cooking when he has the time and the luxury to. His friends enjoy his cooking well enough, but they’d rather have some of Happy’s cooking if given the chance

Happy Sailorsson: He cooks, he fries, he flambés. This drunk Norn sailor loves cooking almost as much as he loves his wife and a fine drink. He is the best chef that any of his friends know. Even Silus has to admit that Happy does a good job.

Rickon of Cedar: He is not good at cooking. He tried once and almost burnt down his camp. His wife Ashera tries to humor him when he attempts to cook, but she ends up making a new meal after a few bites.

Rianwhen: She knows enough about cooking to keep herself and Tasmia fed. She enjoys cooking thoroughly, like she enjoys all things. Tasmia loves Rianwhen’s cooking because of the fact that Rianwhen made it for her. (little known fact the grabbage cabbage is a sappy salad)

Scleep: He knows a few simple recipes to keep him satisfied. He views cooking as more of a means to an end, so it’s not a chore, but it’s not a fun experience for the old Asura.

43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non-religious people?

Ellisot: He follows only one of the human gods (Melandru), he observes the different Spirits of the Wild respectively. He even follows some of the sayings of Ventari. Ellisot believes that all religions have a place in the world, and should be free to practice however they want, up until the point where it starts to hurt innocent people. Then there will be grievances. He doesn’t take issue with religious people or non-religious people. He judges them on their actions, not their beliefs.

Happy Sailorsson: He was a shaman of Bear before he became a revenant. So he still lives by Bear and the tenets of Bear. He views religion as an important part of life. He has the same views about people as Ellisot, and as long as you’re willing to share a drink with him, he’ll have no issue

Rickon of Cedar: Melandru all the way. Religion helps determine his everyday life, he is particularly devout. He views other religious people as having a purpose in life. He looks down on those who do not believe in a higher power.

Rianwhen: she follows Ventari’s teachings in her day to day life. She feels that her beliefs enrich her life in a very positive way. She doesn’t know much about the other religions, since she hasn’t ventured far out from Caledon yet. But she couldn’t look down on anyone save for those of the Nightmare Court.

Scleep: He believes in the Eternal Alchemy, and that’s about all he’s willing to say about religion

49. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them?

Ellisot: Ellisot keeps a small memento of the day that he and Tarr met. Its a flower that she gave him when she first awoke from the Dream. He has it planted in a flower pot back in his small house in Divinities Reach. The flower itself was one of the two that Tarr had growing from her back. He is sentimental to a fault, at least when it comes to his friends. He doesn’t keep much on him when he travels except for the essentials. 

Happy Sailorsson: His trusty flask is his most valued possession. He is as sentimental as long as he likes you. He always keeps his flask on him, but he also carries a picture of his wife at all times while he is away from her

Rickon of Cedar: His first Shortbow is his most treasured possession. He has a better one now, but it was given to him by Scleep when Rickon was a child. He is sentimental with his close friends and family. He has a locket that his wife gave him that he keeps around his neck all the time.

Rianwhen: She doesn’t have one treasured object, because she treasures them all. She loves everything that Tasmia brings her, which only enables Tasmia’s kleptomania. Rianwhen always has an orchid that she keeps on her, it doesn’t mean much, except that she likes orchids

Scleep: His favorite possession is a bundle of letters that he keeps in the pockets of his robes, these letters are from all the people he has helped. He loves to hear from them and always responds. He always keeps a freshly stocked medkit on hand incase anybody needs healing

this was fun thanks for the ask @turbles !

Asks are up! And now for answers

so puppetguys-guild.tumblr.com sent me some numbers from  The Excessively Detailed Headcanon Tumblr Meme through messages since I didn’t have asks up. SO here we got for Ellisot!

2. Do they have daily rituals?

 When he is on the road, Ellisot wakes up with the sunrise, he then goes to the nearest body of water (if he isn’t camped near one already) and bathes himself. If the water is deep enough he will also swim around for about 5-15 mins. He does this for exercise and to spend some quality time with Roshix and Tofu the Quaggan. He then makes a quick breakfast out of dry rations and whatever else he might have on hand, because the standard issue Vigil dry rations may be filling, but they taste awful! Before he eats however, he has to take an antidote to counteract the toxins from his spore releasing gloves. The antidote must be administered before every meal or else he risks poisoning himself. The antidote is a combination of anti-toxins and anti-fungal formulas, temporarily rendering the gloves inert. After breakfast, he takes an inventory of his equipment, strikes camp, and starts going to his next destination.

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

Ellisot has a few. These were brought about because of a Pact mission gone horribly wrong, and due to an Orrian Mesmer causing time distortions whilst manipulating the Mists, Ellisot had to relive his failed mission for a week. The mission involved a foray into a previously unexplored complex of catacombs in Arah. Ellisot was sent in with some of the best of the Pact’s scouts. Ellisot and five others went into the catacombs, only Ellisot came out. (I’ll write the story in another post later). The experience was harrowing. He now has PTSD that gets triggered when those catacombs are mentioned, and he has a bitter resentment towards Pact Marshal Trahearne because Ellisot believes that Trahearne knew what would happen. Whenever he sees Trahearne, his companions have to physically restrain him to prevent him from attacking the Marshal. His friends alwasy manage to subdue/lead him away in time, but the whole time he is screaming obscenities, ranting that Trahearne knew everything and raving incoherently. this has happened enough times where Ellisot has been relieved of his Pact duties and is on indeterminate leave from the Vigil. He doesn’t realize any of these neuroses, which only leads to more frustration over The Pact and it’s leader.

11. Intellectual pursuits?

Ellisot doesn’t have free time very often. But when he has the time, he loves to sit down with one of his favorite books. If there is anybody else around he loves to play chess, checkers, basically any strategic game he can get his hands on. He also loves to experiment with different alcoholic drink recipes when he has the materials available. Since his brush with the Toxic Alliance he has also become interested in the curing and cleansing of poisons. This interest is twofold; to get rid of the toxic gloves on his hands, and to undo the damage to the land that was caused by the Toxic Alliance.

18. Favorite Beverage?

Ellisot’s favorite non-alcoholic beverage is his own personal blend of hot chocolate. Using cocoa beans that he harvested from a secluded grove in Caledon Forest, fresh mint, and a little sugar from Krytan sugarcane farms. This is his favorite drink to relax with no matter the climate. For alcoholic drinks, he knows many different mixed drinks. But his one true pleasure is finely aged Scotch. He has a few different bottles of varying years, his favorite is a single malt that was distilled in the Black Citadel. He always offers to share if anyone is around, and his friend Tarr accepted once. She has avoided the stuff  ever since.

25. How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

Ellisot doesn’t focus much on the future, but if pressed about it. He would like to have Mordremoth slain so that his best friend could be safe. He also wants to have the gloves off by then. Ellisot wants to be back with both the Vigil and the Pact by then as well. And maybe be one of Almorra’s trusted inner circle. Most of all, he sees himself traveling to every corner of Tyria. His quest to see it all never ceasing.

33. Concept of Home and family?

Ellisot has and always will be a traveler. He has a few favorite camp sites that he likes to think of as home. Secret places that only he knows about; other than Ellisot, only Roshix and Tofu know about these places. But Ellisot does have a small shack in Lions Arch that he calls home whenever he is in town. Since he is a perpetual traveler, Ellisot’s “family” is constantly gaining and losing members, with a few constants here and there. His travelling family is filled with people or even animals that he trusts. And though some of the family see him rarely, if they send for his help, woe to anyone who gets in his way as he rushes to their aid. Of his biological family, only his mother is still alive, retired from the Lionguard and living in a small village outside of Divinity’s Reach. He visits her every month if he can help it, always bringing her a trinket from his travels.

44 Religion?

Ellisot grew up with the six Deity’s religion that most humans follow. but since then, after learning about Ventari’s Teachings from the Sylvari and about the Spirits of the Wild from the Norn. He lives his life based on a combination of the two and the strictures put forth by Melandru.
