5, 18, 27 and 32!
5. Likes rock music & 18. Has very exaggerated facial expressions
This is probably a very unsurprising answer for both of these questions. XD
Vex has always liked rock music, he likes anything that sounds grungy/rough/loud.
As for the exaggerated facial expressions, well...there’s no question. X’DD
27. Loves children
This was a tough one because I have a LOT of family-oriented OCs, but I decided to make it easier on myself by also asking myself “who is THE ABSOLUTE BEST with kids” and that left me with Snazz. XD Other OCs such as Khallalh who are family-oriented and love kids may fall short in being able to entertain them, but Snazz is a (literal) wizard at it. He looks forward to having his own kids one day that he can raise and entertain. ^-^
32. Likes socks
This was tricky too since I feel a majority of my OCs either hate socks or don’t feel particularly passionate about them. Sydd however...she seems like the type to have a random obsession with a particular thing. Socks could be that thing. She would probably have too many she refuses to toss, probably enjoys finding new ones with different designs, and probably wears specific socks on specific days or events.
Ooo Prekk for the prompt!
Ahh thank you for asking about Prekk! I don’t talk about him nearly enough, considering he’s pretty much my main now.
01. Full name: Prekk Valar
02. Best friend: He doesn’t really have one! He’s known Synneva a long time though, so she’s close.
03. Sexuality: bisexual
04. Favorite color: light greens
05. Relationship status: I’m still playing with the idea of changing his story up, so I’ll say single for now.
06. Ideal mate: someone gentle and genuinely caring. Someone who doesn’t push him and wants to see the world
07. Turn-ons: praise, reassurance. His ears getting played with
08. Favorite food: spicy things!
09. Crushes: Rosie, Syn for a while, a dock worker in Lion’s Arch named Ven who he worked with on and off
10. Favorite music: nothing in particular, just things that kind of blend into the background
11. Biggest fear: that he’s never going to be enough. He’s not asura enough, not strong enough, not smart enough. He doesn’t really know who he is and is worried he never will
12. Biggest fantasy: that he grew up in Rata Sum with his real parents and studied at a college there instead of struggling in Lion’s Arch with his adopted father
13. Bad habits: sharpening his nails on rocks and weapons
14. Biggest regret: Staying in Lion’s Arch for so long. Once he leaves he realizes he could have left a lot sooner.
15. Best kept secrets: He’s heard a lot during his work as a bodyguard/thief and he’s leaned to keep all of them very well. He likes to think he keeps his feelings pretty secret, too.
16. Last thought: Probably some daydream about far away places
17. Worst romantic experience: He’s had some interactions with Syn where she might have pushed his limits a bit too far.
18. Biggest insecurity: oh boy. He’s got a lot of them. He’s just insecure in general. The biggest part…probably that he doesn’t feel connected to any other asura, and feels like he doesn’t really fit in with any of them.
19. Weapon of choice: a nondescript staff
20. Role Model: He’d never ever say it, but the man who raised him. He did the best he could to take care of Prekk, even if he wasn’t around as much as he would have liked, and even though he didn’t know how to be a parent.
All of pink and black for Makk!
Pink - Are you currently in a relationship? if so, who is your partner?
“I’m in two, as a matter of fact. It’s kind of a complicated... multifaceted... anyway. I’m married to my Zaxic and dating a girl named Meihi. And I adore them both!”
Watermelon - what are your favorite summer activities?
“Oh, a little of everything! Swimming, visiting new places, eating fresh strawberries, definitely NOT getting arrested for piloting stolen Inquest tech at the already-illegal golem fighting tourneys..."
Bubblegum - Are you a sassy or sarcastic person?
“Nooo, who would ever say that about ME?”
Salmon - Do you have any health issues or physical disabilities?
“Uhhh... nope! I’m heartier than a brass-bound charr.”
Blush - Do you have a crush on anyone? If so, who is it?
“I’m not good at nursing crushes. I see someone I think is cute or impressive in some way, I tell them, so it ends one way or another!”
Cotten candy - Would you say you have a sweet tooth?
“I can’t even lie. I’m eating the pinks and reds out of Zaxic’s candy stash as we speak. Want one before he kills me?”
Carnation - Are you comfortable with PDA?
“Short, PG-rated answer? Yes. Regardless of whether or not we’re together. Like, why do people even WANT personal space so much?”
Rouge- Do you have an unpopular opinion?
“I still think my sexy Kralkatorrik costume from last Mad King’s Day should have taken first place in the contest.”
Pastel - Do you prefer pastel, bright, neon, or dark colors?
“A mixture. I mean, pink and black ARE my favorites, and you can’t go wrong with a good eye-searing blue sometimes!”
Coral - Do you have a strong moral code? What are some moral things that you feel strongly about?
“Iiiii... dunno. I mean obviously I KNOW what good is, golden rule and so on and so forth, but like... it’s not always so simple, yeah? There are some things I’ve done that are horrible if you’re looking at it in a black-and-white sort of way, but there was still a good reason for it.
That said? Consent. Mandatory. Every time. ALL the time.”
Fuchsia - Are you a generally playful or goofy person? Who or what makes you feel playful or goofy?
“Yes, and no one really. I mean, Zax and Mei, obviously, but I’m always just kinda this guy, you know?”
Black - What is the darkest thing you’ve ever done?
“Oh, so we’re doing this. I, uh, tortured and killed this human one time and left his body to rot in the aqueducts. But, let me reiterate my above point, there was a good reason!”
Ebony - Describe your family
“Huge! Just the ones I’m related to by blood, even! There’s me, and mom and dad, and Auntie Omann, three grandparents still alive, and eight younger siblings. And outside of them I’ve got Zaxic and Mei, and Kladdis, and Vleo, and Roman...”
(He goes on like that for awhile)
Onyx - What are your nightmares most often about?
“I don’t usually understand my dreams, they’re just a mishmash of nonsense and I’ve forgotten them by morning. I don’t have like a recurring one, thank the Alchemy.”
Obsidian - Do you suffer from any mental disabilities?
"Nope!"
((Yes. Severe ADHD.))
Spider - What irrational fears do you have?
“Heh. Actually, it’s kinda embarrassing, but Zaxic’s with this girl -- don’t worry, by the way, everyone knows the arrangement and we’re all good with it! -- uh, anyway, she had a couple kids early this year. And I know you don’t really know him, but this is a guy who wanted progeny like most of us want power. And somehow in my bookah mind, that translated to ‘he’s going to leave you for her, better leave him first!’ and he actually caught me doing it.
Can we move on?"
Charcoal - on a scale of one to ten how would you rate your survival skills?
“Oh, glitch. Do I have my golem? Can she get a connection? We aren’t stranded in Lion’s Arch, by any chance?”
Soot - How hard do you work to achieve your goals?
“As hard as I want to! Which usually lands me... close to my goals? Okay, okay, I should focus harder and get more done. I know that.”
Midnight - Are you a night or morning person?
“Kinda... both? I don’t need that much sleep.”
Raven - Can you fly? If not, do you ever dream about flying?
“I can whip up some specs for an aeronautical crystal array, if that’s your thing! Hold on, I’ll get my golem!”
Ink - write your autobiography in one sentence
He did not, in fact, finish the aeronautical crystal array.
rata-whitz replied to your photo: “Please tell me you didn’t forget to pack warmer clothes.” “You worry...”:
Okay this is adorable, I'm glad there are people who adore Gorrik as much as I do (and panic when he's in danger)
rory isn’t bloodthirsty or anything but no one touches one strand of gorrik’s hair without losing their hand that’s just how it is
All of brown for Vex!!
Brown- Where do you call home?
“Before meeting Khallalh it was just sort of…’the wilderness’ I guess. But since then I’ve moved in with Khallalh, and now I call his lab home. Well…I guess anywhere Khallalh goes is where home is…” he suddenly blushes at realizing how sappy that statement sounded even though he was just being matter-of-fact about it.
Mocha - How do you like your coffee? (If you like coffee)
He shrugs, “Plain?”
Cinnamon - Which of the “Cinnamon Roll” memes fits you best? (looks like they could kill but is actually a cinnamon roll, looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you, looks like a cinnamon roll and is actually a cinnamon roll, looks like they could kill you and could actually kill you, or sinnamon roll)
“I like to think I look like I could kill you and actually could kill you.” he huffs, ignoring the memories of friends teasing him by calling him cute.
Tawny - Cats or Dogs? (or any animal for that matter)
“I like big dogs and big cats…small dogs and cats just look really fragile and make me nervous…”
Hickory - How smart are you? Would you consider yourself more book smart or street smart?
His ears falter a bit as he grumbles softly, scratching a claw at the corner of his mouth absently, “Eugh…I…I dunno. I don’t really care. K…Khallalh says I’m smarter than I give myself credit for though…” he says, ears perking ever so softly at this remark.
Leather - How “basass” would you say you are?
His ears shoot up and a wide grin spreads across his face as he puffs out his chest triumphantly, “HAH, I’m a HUGE badass.” he boasts, “You know I once took down a Devourer Queen single-handedly?”
Brunette - If you could change your hair color, what would you change it to?
He scratches his head and shrugs, “I dunno, I don’t mind it’s color.”
Gingerbread - What is your favorite holiday?
“I didn’t really care much for holidays until Darijja gave me the biggest Wintersday celebration I’ve ever had…like…ever ever. Once she knew I’d never experienced Wintersday she stopped at nothing to make it perfect for me…and Khallalh too…really the whole Krewe came together and…gave me a celebration I’ll never forget.” he smiles fondly, recollecting and twirling his ear in an absent fluster.
Penny - If you could make a substantial living doing anything, what would you do?
He pounds his fist into his palm across his chest, “HEH, beating the crap out of stuff.”
Chocolate - Do you like chocolate? If so, what is your favorite way to eat it?
“I LOVE CHOCOLATE! Uhh…is there a right or wrong way to eat it? I always just… …y’know…eat it…”
Chestnut - Have you ever ridden an animal? If so, which one?
“I’ve ridden many animals out of boredom or for fun. But the best one by far is my raptor, Rex.”
Umber - Who do you call your friend? How many Friends do you have?
“Uh lessee…Khallalh obviously…the members of the Misfit Krewe…Ainne…Kai…that might be it…is that a normal amount of friends?” He asks, uncertain.
Carob - What do you look for in a friend?
“I uhh…dunno…the people I’m friends with just…seemed to happen…but I’ve been told I have severe trust issues so…I guess I look for trustworthiness in a friend.” He shrugs lightly.
Cedar - How old are you?
“Errrrr…” he scratches his head and seems to count quietly to himself, “Actually I’m…not…entirely sure…I know I’m at least 20 but I’m probably older than that…maybe 24? …my birthday was never really celebrated as a kid so I’ve kinda forgotten when it is and how many have gone by…”
Caramel - How much does sugar affect you?
“Sugar gets me PUMPED UP! I don’t know what about it but something in the taste just makes me EXCITED.”
Mahogany- What is your moral alignment? (Lawful good, Neutral good, Chaotic good, Lawful neutral, True neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful evil, Neutral evil, Chaotic Evil)
“Heck if I know.” He’s chaotic neutral.
Peanut - Do you have any allergies?
“I don’t think so…what’s an allergy?”
