“i know i’ve been complaining a lot lately,” miles stated into the otherwise quiet room, always feeling the need to fill silence whenever someone else was present. “but this place really does suck.” the words were followed by the sound of him shifting and then the sight of his phone screen illuminating his face in the dark. “it’s not even that late. i’m bored out of my mind.”

THREE. what was the worst thing in your character’s life?

”ah, well.” bex shrugs almost casually, then easily saying, “when i was younger there were a few years there where... i thought i was like fucking insane. or a freak of nature or something. and my parents definitely didn’t help. in fact they kinda profited off it, which is like super fun! just girly things!” bex sticks out her tongue with a peace sign, pretty effortlessly down playing the whole thing as she tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. “gave me that sweet, sweet trauma you know. my superhero origin story! which is great actually because that is my fall back occupation. i look great in a catsuit.” bex winks cheekily then, smile growing before she’s waving a hand dismissively and adding, “anyways, if there was anything worse that happened i don’t remember it.” the lie is told with only the slightest strain of her smile, before she’s shaking her head innocently and admitting, i’ve got a lot of gaps in my memory when it comes to my childhood and all that, so. yeah.” 

TEN. what would your character make a scene in public about?

”oh, anything. anything, i love making a scene.” bex says almost dreamily, grin widening as she adds, “i think it’s the theatrics of it, it’s just so fun? i think the last time i made a scene... it was with a friend of mine’s ex. he cheated on her, but she was too upset to confront him about it, so i pretended he cheated on me,” bex is gesturing with the story, brow arched with the animated retelling. “and like just dramatically and publicly embarrassed him. just embarrassed the fuck out of him, and it felt really shitty cause like i could feel it. like his embarrassment. but he deserved it, you know? and my friend was so grateful about it, so it also felt kind of good too.”

FIFTEEN. what is your character afraid of?

“bugs. god, bugs and spiders. especially spiders, i hate those little fuckers.” bex says with a wrinkle of her nose and a dramatic shiver. “uh, i’m also just a smidge bit claustrophobic so. i mean, there are other things but there’s just a taste of the things that keep me awake at night.” bex winks suggestively, stifling her smile even as she says, “you’re welcome.”

— for the astrology asks : jupiter, lilith, juno !

JUPITER: what moral do you live by?

“hmm...” bex’s face scrunches up with thought at the question, her head tilting as she says, “i dunno. this might be very like... kindergarten, but treat others the way you want to be treated? i don’t know, when you go this long feeling exactly how your actions make others feel, it kind of makes you hyper aware of the whole thing you know? i try not to treat anyone in any way that i wouldn’t be willing to like... feel myself. if that makes sense.”

LILITH: do you have any guilty pleasures?

“pretty much every sweet known to man.” bex says easily with a waggle of her brows, grin widening as she adds, “bring on the sugar baby!! honestly, i physically can’t leave a pit stop without grabbing a lollipop or at least fruity gum or something, so i’m always packing. if you’re in need of a sugar high hit my line, that’s all i’m saying.”

JUNO: do you believe in soul mates?

“oh, yeah, one hundred percent. there is someone out there for everyone. or even like multiple someones.” bex’s eyes are twinkling with mirth as she adds, “i even think that there can be like platonic soulmates and romantic ones. even twin flames. i don’t know, i believe in it but i don’t think it has to be so black and white, you get me? it’s complicated. but so is love.”

1. what’s your muse’s favorite album of all time / favorite artist?

“I can’t remember what my favourite album is. I can’t even remember the last time I actually owned an album. I would say that my favourite band is Queen, if that helps. Maybe one of theirs? Sorry, I’m the worst with music stuff.” 

13. do they like the room cold or hot when they sleep?

“I like the room cold. That way you don’t sweat when you’re under the covers. You can always get warmer but it’s hard to cool off.”

23. how do they show fear? sweating, shaking, blankness, anger, etc?

“I can’t really remember the last time I was really scared. I guess I just kind of shut down. Maybe some heavier breathing. Maybe crushing someone’s hand a little on accident.”

1. what would completely break your character?

He is really terrified of water/the ocean if he was ever in a situation where he fell in he would not take it well. Like, not well at all. He would cry if he even had to be on a moving boat. On a more emotional note, probably if someone he cared about abandoned him again. It’s happened to him one too many times at this point and he’s not level enough to deal with it well. It would be very not good and he knows that and tries to avoid it as much as possible. 

12. what are your character’s major flaws?

He honestly has a lot of them. I think some of the major ones are that he is a hedonistic type of person and the pleasure-seeking tendencies often make him selfish. He is also incredibly stubborn about certain things. Like, he won’t usually fight about them or anything but he is very stubborn. Especially with the skepticism thing. Also that he pushes away anyone who gets too close to him. This is especially bad because he craves having people close to him and like affection and validation from others, but then when he gets it he doesn’t know how to accept it and acts out.  

13. what does your character pretend or try to care about?

He will pretty much pretend to care about anything to make someone else happy. Definitely tries to people please as much as possible, especially in his more shallow level friendships. So, a lot of things. In this instance, I’m sure it’s mostly him trying to care about ghost stories or things that they hear on location, but he just can’t because he doesn’t believe any of it is true.
