OC Questionaire - Mel

I was tagged by @raiiny-bay a while ago. Thank you so much 💙

And sorry for doing this so late xD I'm behind on tags and everything once again

Name: Melvin Holloway

Nicknames: Mel, Mabon, Kitten (don't ask)

Gender: Male (fun fact: a majority of alters in his system are female though)

Star Sign: Gemini

Orientation: Grey Ace for the most part. Although he doesn't know it. The other alters also influence his sexuality at times so it can be a tad bit fluent.

Nationality: he was born in the UK. His mother was part Welsh part Irish and his dad Russian.

Favourite Fruit: Bananas or Blueberries

Favourite Season: Fall

Favourite Flower: probably sunflowers

Favourite Scent:

Cinnamon

Pipe tobacco for some odd reason (probably due to Roland)

The air after it rained

Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate? He's fine with either. It's really situation/mood dependent for him.

Average hours of sleep: It switches. Under normal circumstances he needs like 10 hours to feel somewhat rested.

He's also chronically tired and in his current situation he just sleeps as a means of escape sometimes. Then again there are periods when he has trouble getting more than a couple hours of sleep.

Dogs or Cats? Cats all the way.

Dream Trip: He's got no clue. He and Serena had the plan to go to Japan at some point when they were teens. And he'd be kinda curious to see what the US is like. But that's about it

Number of blankets: Blankets? What are blankets? No, jokes aside, he only has one, if any at all.

Random fact: Ummm lemme think...he actually used to be really good at playing the violin as a teen. He probably could've made something of that if he hadn't stopped playing (and if he hadn't fucked up his arm)

This is what I kinda sorta imagine his skill level to have been like:

(and yes, he'd totally know all the Zelda songs)

Tagging @wolfavens @veone @rebouks @drawing-way-outside-the-lines @nocturnalazure and @doka-chan! (As always no pressure though)

-------------------

💪 : What is your OC’s most physically attractive attribute? 

I'd probably say his eyes.

Generally I feel like whether Mel can be considered attractive is really a matter of opinion...but you can't deny that he has a hella nice eye colour.

I mean-

I rest my case.

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

Ufff...I think that can be really dependent on who you ask as well.

Generally what people tend to find the most attractive about him is a mix of personality, demeanor and how he expresses himself, not just verbally but in general: calm and subdued but not overly shy, self deprecating yet self reflected, sensitive but kinda reserved, sarcastic at times but very sincere, serious but still humorous in a subtle way. It's a weird amalgamation of these things. People who find interest in him and are observant tend to notice these patterns in him and find them intriguing somehow.

For Mel : Favorites : ALL, Routines : 4, 7, 9,10, Philosophy : 1, 8, 10, Other : 4. Thanks !

Thank you so much for asking :D

Here ya go:

Favourites:

Candy?

These fuckers:

Honestly chocolate of any kind but mint Penguins are the love of his life.

Kind of pizza?

He's not really picky, he used to just go with plain ol Margherita until he got to try Barbeque bacon pizza at a friend's. Now "anything bacon" is his go to choice when it comes to pizza

Keep mushrooms and pineapples FAR away from him though .

Flavor of donut?

The only Donuts he ever had were with jam filling and he can't really say he liked them very much.

So yeah he doesn't really have one.

Amusement park/carnival activity?

He's not really a fan of rides, he's more the type to just stroll around and enjoy the atmosphere .

Pro tip: Keep him away from claw machines though, he's easily tempted by cute plushies.

Pair of shoes?

Plain ol' chucks used to be his favourite brand, but at this point he doesn't really give a shit anymore.

He does wish however he would have opted for more stable shoes than chucks as a teenager because it didn't take long for his current pair to be riddled with holes.

Type of weather?

Rain.

Bird?

Ravens, Crows (for the aesthetic) and Pigeons

But honestly anything he can chill with on a park bench.

Scent?

He doesn't really have a favourite per se...he loves the scent of cinnamon though, and weirdly enough, the smell pipe tobacco, most of likely due to his godfather being an avid pipe smoker when Mel was really young.

Color?

It's a draw between green and black.

Subject in school?

English, mainly the literature part though.

Routine

4. Right-handed or left-handed?

Both, sorta...

Long story short (because spoilers and shit) Mel started out as left handed, but his mother basically "trained" him to use the right hand, which ended up being the hand he primarily uses. However when he was 22 a self inflicted injury caused him to have minor nerve damage in his right arm, which resulted in him having to use his left hand more at times.

He still mainly uses his right hand whenever he can, while his alter Mabon (among a few others) prefer the left hand.

7. What song is likely to be in their Most Played list?

Uff...

I was gonna say most likely a Korn song, but he doesn't listen to much Korn anymore, unless he's in a really bad place mentally.

"Rusted From the Rain" by Billy Talent is probably his most played at the moment. He didn't really appreciate the song when it came out but it's grown on him quite a bit since then.

9. What do they do first thing in the morning?

He probably just lies in bed for a bit and tries to process his surroundings, then he probably smokes whatever cigarette buds he has around while trying to ignore his hangover.

He then either goes to sleep again or tries to gather the mental strength to actually get up, it depends on how he feels.

Once he actually manages to get up the first thing he will do is find out what day it is and write it in his notebook.

10. What’s the last thing they do before they go to bed?

He has a few smokes and drinks until he eventually blacks out.

Philosophy

1. Do they believe in soulmates or fate?

He is unsure about fate, if anything he perceives it more as a cruel force of nature.

He definitely doesn't believe in soul mates though.

8. What do they value above all else? 

...Empathy and compassion.

He has huge respect for people who can feel strongly for others. And who aren't afraid to show it.

Ironically since that is a trait he despises about himself.

10. Do they have a creed or code that they live by?

Not really to be honest.

He kinda just goes through life without really anticipating what's going on around him anymore.

Other

4. Would they rather be a pirate, a cowboy, a ninja, or an astronaut?

Hmmm...ninja probably. He hates horses so he wouldn't last long as a cowboy, he ain't the biggest fan of water either so pirate is also a no go...and...space kinda creeps the shit outta him too ever since he watched Alien so...yeah...ninja it is.
