thirty days of questions;; cassie lang

one;;

what personality types does your character fall into?

cassie shook her head, then threw up her arms. “i’m telling you, being a hufflepuff is a great thing.” she laughed, then picked up her pillow to throw towards kate and america. “screw you guys. i like being a hufflepuff. we’re particularly good finders, i’ll have you know!” she sat back, shifting on the ground and leaning against the side of the bed. the trio were maybe too old to have sleep-overs, but screw society too cause this was BRILLIANT. this was just what they needed, surely? a little alcohol, some good music (or music so bad it became good) and just chatting and talking. “hufflepuff’s get along with everyone. they are... they are studious. maybe not the brainiest, yeah, but they work real hard. and like hufflepuff...ians, uh hufflepuffians yeah that’s the name, they just accept everyone. i think that’s pretty cool.”

she raised her glass, taking a swig and just shaking her head at the grins on the others faces - grins she mirrored. “us hufflepuffians are chill, chill people. and you can’t say that’s not me?” she paused, then tilted her head back and let out another chuckle. “well, chill to a point, but okay i admit i get emotional too. i reckon that fits in well.”

she paused, falling silent and taking in a deep breath as she just relaxed. “okay, okay. now out of the scooby gang, as in the buffy scooby gang, who are you? cause i’d wanna be xander but i reckon i’d totally be willow. get--get like a quiz up or something. am i a xander or a willow? just don’t let me be giles. i don’t wanna be an old man before my time.”

two;;

who does your character trust most and why?

“that’s a tough one, that’s tough. you can’t just ask me that, can you?” cassie sent a grin towards her friend, glancing over at them as she got out her tablet and began to set up for the lecture ahead of her. “what does that even have to do with anything? this isn’t psychology, i don’t need you going all like... i mean, i don’t need any psycho-analysis today, thanks.” still, as soon as the question was asked she knew the answer. 

cassie was a trusting person. she was emotional too, she knew that well. and was often angry or annoyed at others, but her trust was hard to break - she liked to believe in people. she trusted the other young avengers with her life, and uncle tony and her fathers other super friends were people she could go to with any troubles. but that person she trusted the most? “my dad. it’s my dad, he’s who i trust most,” she remarked, a smile playing on her features. the blonde glanced over at her friend, and a laugh escaped her and cassie thrust out a hand to gently push her friend. “dude, come on. don’t look at me like that! i love my dad, that’s not weird. and i’m really close to him. lots of people are close with their parents. my dad has always been there.” well, not literally always been there considering his stints in jail and his time away on vigilante business. scott lang wasn’t a perfect role model, and he had messed up cassie’s life on occasion. but she knew everything he did was for her in some way, and there was no one she loved or trusted more. 

“you asked the quesiton, and that’s my reply. my dad trusts me and i trust him. he’s just always been there for me, y’know? and if i ever have any problem he sorts it. he helps me get through it. he’s the strongest person that i know. so there. ....just no psycho-analysis or freud-thinking with that okay?”

three;;

What is a significant turning point in your characters life?

“come on, meeting you? that was a huge turning point in my life,” she remarked, sending kate a warm grin. “like, i’m not saying it’s the only important turning point in my life. but it’s one that’s gotten me to where i am today. just think, i’d be a runaway if i hadn’t met you. if you hadn’t given me some confidence.” 

cassie smiled, pulling her jacket in further around her as a chill breeze hit her and washed over her. it was nice to have this moment with kate, without the others. she loved them all, and each of the members of the young avengers held something special in her. kate was the one who had believed in her first and kept her going. without kate, she had no idea what she’d be doing - but she doubted she would be half as put together as a person if kate hadn’t been with her.

“you were like... so AMAZING kate. like, the person that kept us together and gave us strength. with totally awesome speeches. i mean, eli is good with the speeches too but sometimes he gets too grumpy y’know?” she turned to kate, and with one hand pulled down the corners of her own lips into an exaggerated frown. afterwards, cassie flashed kate a warm smile and continued to walk. “meeting you was what led to me becoming this amazing person. i guess i’m not yet an amazing hero, but i hope i’ll get there one day. if you hadn’t been around, i don’t know if i’d have grown as a person. maybe i’d just have never gotten the strength to believe in myself. but the pair of us... we were a good partnership, huh? it meant a lot to me that you came with me and they we managed to pursue this dream, this team.” 

she paused, silent a moment then turned to her friend and hugged her tightly. a bright grin was on her features, laughter racking her body a moment. “fudge. or fuck, i’m not with my mother. come on, hug me brotha.”

four;;

what are your characters major flaws?

cassie sighed, shifting a little and moving into her father’s side. she was maybe too big for this - but nah, she wouldn’t think like that. he was her daddy, right? always would be. and after a bad day just being with him and joking about was the easiest way to raise her mood. always had been and always would be.

“it was awful, dad. i screwed up. that’s what i do.” she gave a groan, feeling his arm pull her into the hug tigher, and cassie hurried to speak before he could disagree or argue. cassandra just needed to get it all out. “i mean, that’s not all i do. i know. i try, daddy, i try real hard. but y’know, i’ve been told i’m too emotional. it’s true, isn’t it? and too reckless.”

she gave a sigh once again, closing her eyes and letting the silence wash over the two langs for a moment. she settled her mind, found her train of thought again, and continued. “mum says i’m stubborn, just like you. so does blake. i guess sometimes that’s a good thing. but it doesn’t feel like that when i argue with mum. you get that right? like, like she’s just straight to one point and it cuts real hard when she argues cause she goes right for the kill. but i never know when i quit and maybe i just always think i’m right when i’m not.”

“and with all this syndicate shit going on, mum says i’m being too reckless. and i know you think that way too. but i want to help and--” any other sound was drowned out as she was dragged into a tight hug by her father. she hugged him tightly in return, clinging to him a second before relaxing and grinning into him, listening as he began to talk now... to soothe her... to joke with her... cassie had a lot of problems, and she wasn’t prefect. too stubborn with her mother and step-father, too easily angered or easily goaded into things... but when her dad told her she was a good person, it was real easy to believe.

DAY 1 – PERSONALITY TYPES

What personality types does your character fall under? (MBTI, Hogwarts House, Divergent! Feel free to include any/all that you want.)

MBTI:

ENTJ – The Commander 

ENTJ’s are natural born leaders, they embody both charisma and confidence. In day to day life, Bobbi is very outgoing and tends to charm people to the best of her ability. That being said, like the ENTJ, once she’s set her mind on something, she’s wholly unmovable and will achieve it no matter the personal cost to herself (recreating serum, for example.) They love challenges, and tend to notice where other’s excel. That being said, they have a ruthless tongue and are prone to calling others out insensitively. They thrive in teams, although they run into trouble when their morals or ideals are being compromised. 

HOGWARTS HOUSE:

“Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind where those of wit and learning will always find their kind.”

This is straightforward, I believe. Bobbi is definitely someone who pursues knowledge relentlessly, in her surroundings, in her daily life, with people, etc. Although you could make a case for Gryffindor, her heart would belong with Ravenclaw where she could thrive among her peers equally as invested in the pursuit of intelligence and creativity.

STAR SIGN:

Gemini - the Twins

Canonically, Bobbi is a gemini, and I agree with this. Gemini are known for their dual personalities, they dislike routine, they are curious, adaptable and learn quickly. They thrive on receiving and sharing information. They’re social, outgoing and are desperate to experience everything the world has to offer. That being said, they are moody, short tempered and can be aggressive.

ALIGNMENT:

Neutral Good

Bobbi does the best that she can to put it simply. She’s devoted to helping others, she’s unbiased against order, and truly believes that the majority of people deserve a good life. Prior to SHIELD’s fall, she would have fit more under Lawful Good, but seeing the government destroyed like that made her skeptical of their motives and the people that lead such organizations. Now, she feels more beholden to herself and her own moral compass.

TROPES:

Action Girl, Beware the Nice Ones, Hot Scientist, Jerk with a Heart of Gold, One Man Army

day 1: personality

o1. What personality types does your character fall under? 

mbti - INFP 

For INFPs the dominant quality in their lives is a deep-felt caring and idealism about people. They experience this intense caring most often in their relationships with others, but they may also experience it around ideas, projects, or any involvement they see as important. INFPs are often skilled communicators, and they are naturally drawn to ideas that embody a concern for human potential. INFPs live in the inner world of values and ideals, but what people often first encounter with the INFP in the outer world is their adaptability and concern for possibilities.

hogwarts house - ravenclaw

“Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning will always find their kind.” Ravenclaw House prizes learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members. Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. Ravenclaws also pride themselves in being original in their ideas, and methods. It's not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practicing especially different types of magic that other houses might shun. Students in Ravenclaw can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. Ravenclaws usually accept and celebrate these eccentrics.

moral alignment - neutral good

The alignment of sweetness and light. A Neutral Good character will usually comply with laws if doing so benefits the greater good, but rebel against those they consider unjust or which conflict with the greater good. Neutral Good characters value freedom and will protect others' freedom as long as it's not used to do harm. They will use whatever means will promote the most good, whether that means tearing down a code of laws, following a code of laws, creating an orderly society, causing the breakdown of harmful kinds of order, or staying away from society altogether. Their only goal is to do good, full stop.

tropes: adorkable, being good sucks, deadpan snarker, genius bruiser, guilt complex,  unlucky everydude

enneagram: 5 (the investigator)

Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way. 

temperament: melancholic

The Melancholic personality type of person is considered to be introverted, analytical, logical and private, and relies on facts instead of speculations. This type of person is cautious, and can be skeptical and suspicious. Not as confident as the individual who has a Choleric Personality Type, the Melancholic person worries about how other people feels about his or her work and may be moved to tears because of compassion for another. Being organized is also common among these types of people and at times when they seem to have clutter around them, they know where to find what they need. The Melancholy prefers to get feedback and be reassured. This person can also be fond of asking questions over and over again because of the fear of making the wrong decisions. That said, this individual is not a risk-taker and does not want to be regarded as incompetent.

star sign: taurus (may 3)

Ruled by the persistent and plodding Bull, Taurus energy has two speeds. It’s either relaxed and contented (like a steer luxuriating in a verdant pasture) or hyped-up and ready to charge. (Toro, toro!) This zodiac sign has a built-in energy conservation program. It will patiently assess whether something is worth the investment of time and resources. Then if the green light flashes, it’s all systems go! Until then, slow and steady wins the Taurus race. This sign encourages us to break our work into simple steps then take daily action. Taurus is the sign of the builder, helping us create concrete results for our diligent efforts. Under the influence of a Taurus planetary transit, we roll up our sleeves and get the job done. The positive essence of Taurus energy shows up as patient, organized, supportive, romantic, careful, and dedicated. On the flipside, Taurus energy can also be overindulgent, stubborn, lazy, vain, tightfisted and too cautious. Routine-loving Taurus can get us stuck in our comfort zones and habits. Make sure that consistency doesn’t turn into stagnation or inertia.

DAY 1 -- PERSONALITY TYPES

What personality types does your character fall under? (MBTI, Hogwarts House, Divergent! Feel free to include any/all that you want.)

MBTI:

ESFP -- The Entertainer

ESFP’s, like the title suggests, are the entertainers. They’re always putting on a show, which is close to MJ’s heart, and not only with acting. MJ notoriously is the jokester and the fun party girl in order to cover up her pain, following her problems at home as a child, her mother’s passing, and Gwen’s passing. On a brighter note, they’re a common personality type with starlets, they love fashion, and are sensitive and caring towards others’ emotions. Their biggest downfall, and one MJ shares, is that they can neglect responsibility in favour of having a good time and leap at opportunities instead of planning ahead of time.

HOGWARTS HOUSE:

"You might belong in Gryffindor where dwell the brave at heart. Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart."

MJ, to a fault, is courageous and daring. She acts without thinking as long as there’s a cause behind it. She’s full of nerve. If she were in this house, she’d 100% be a Fred and George, fighting at the front lines, and fucking with everyone.

STAR SIGN:

Leo -- The Lion

Proud, creative, passionate, arrogant, inflexible, and lazy, the Leo is one hell of a sign. They’re prone to be dramatic, gravitating, ironically, towards theatre. They’re known to be well dressed, charming, and moody, MJ fits into this zodiac sign quite nicely.

ALIGNMENT:

Neutral Good

Another Neutral Good, brought to you by Alicia! MJ believes that everyone deserves a fair shot at a good life, she’ll do everything in her power in order to bring good fortune to others, but she doesn’t believe in the system. She thinks it’s fundamentally flawed, and until it’s fixed, she trusts her gut rather than the law.

TROPES:

Damsel Out of Distress, Empowered Badass Normal, Fiery Redhead, Only Known by Initials, Stepford Smiler

[gixlofsteel]

MBTI: ENFP 

Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff  

Hufflepuff is known as the “nice house” and believes strongly in sparing peoples feelings and being kind. This is not to say that Hufflepuffs aren't smart or courageous. Hufflepuffs just enjoy making others happy and tend to be more patient towards people.

Alignment: Neutral Good

A neutral good character will keep his word to those who are not evil and will lie only to evil-doers. He will never attack an unarmed foe and will never harm an innocent. He will not use torture to extract information or for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. A neutral good character will never use poison. He will help those in need and works well alone or in a group. He responds well to higher authority until that authority attempts to use the law to hamper his ability to do good. He is trustful of organizations as long as they serve his utilitarian purpose. He will follow the law unless more good can come from breaking the law. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend. Neutral good characters are indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they promote goodness. 

Tropes:

Badass Adorable |  Clark Kenting |  First Love |  Human Aliens |  Older Than They Look

[sombradelmurcielago]

Task 4: Day One

What personality types does your character fall under?

BIG FIVE PROJECT

Open-Mindedness: High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex. You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.

Conscientiousness: High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful. You are very well-organized, and can be relied upon.

Extraversion: Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. You tend to shy away from social situations.

Agreeableness: Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous. You find it easy to criticize others.

Negative Emotionality: High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying. You are a generally anxious person and tend to worry about things.

ARCHETYPE QUIZ :

The Realist: practical, understanding, honest, brutal, logical, creator, intelligent, sensible, down-to-earth, reasonable.

MORAL ALIGNMENT

Neutral Good: A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

TEMPERAMENT

Choleric: This temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything. However, cholerics also tend to be either highly disorganized or highly organized. They do not have in-between setups, only one extreme to another. As well as being leader-like and assertive, cholerics also fall into deep and sudden depression. Essentially, they are very much prone to mood swings.

COLOR

Dark Olive Green #556B2F: Your dominant hues are green and yellow. There's no doubt about the fact that you think with your head, but you don't want to be seen as boring and want people to know about your adventurous streak now and again.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is slightly darker than most people's. You try to see things for what they are and face situations honestly. You'd rather get to the point than look for what's good.

30 days of questions;; cassie lang;; batch 3

ten;;

if your character could choose a different identity, who would they pick?

she’d not really thought about it all that much, and was having difficulty with the question just now. it wasn’t that cassie didn’t have any imagination. she had waaaaay too much information. but this specific question stumped her. who else could she be?

the dungeon master was still trying to go over things with someone else. they were a bunch of newbies, and maybe this first session would just be character creating. cass already had a tonne of ideas, but she kept getting side-tracked by other things. just the idea of creating someone to play as opened up so many doors in her mind. seriously, the problem really was too much imagination. forgetting the game, just for a moment, her mind was wandering to what else she could picture herself as because the question stumped her.

she was everything she wanted to be - wasn’t she? i mean, cass wasn’t perfect. and she knew that. too stubborn, too emotional (so quick to anger), a major procrastinator.... but she was a freaking hero, and she had a family that loved her, and she liked being a student and-- what else could she be?

maybe she’d like to explore. yeah. if she wasn’t so hellbent on being a student, on showing she had some of her mother and fathers brains and proving she was smart she’d maybe have gone exploring. cass loved uni life, but exploring? that’d be so awesome. (and hey, her dungeons character should totally be an explorer? did this world have an indiana jones/ cause if not indiana lang could work). maybe the identity she’d pick would be not to have one at all. to be free from everything so she could just go and explore all the different places. travel in jungles to meet people with lives vastly different from hers, travel to places where she could help out and give to those in need, explore deserts and cities and mountains! yeah. yeah, that’s what she’d do. hell, maybe even explore SPACE. there was a whole freaking galaxy out there.

“earth to lang, earth to lang-- hey! you’re drawing on the fucking sheet, cass!”

“huh?” cassie blinked, looking down at the sheet she was writing her stats on and then giving a sheepish grin. “shit. sorry. i got lost in my own mind for a moment. uh... i don’t suppose you have some more paper? an extra supply you brought for cassie emergencies?”

eleven;;

in what or whom is your character’s greatest faith in?

cassie believed in people. she was good at that. she just liked to see the best in people, and to believe that they were trying hard. that there was goodness inside everyone. or at least, she was MOSTLY good at that. if someone ever threatened her friends or family? yeah, that whole line of thought could momentarily disappear as anger took over. 

as she watched the news report eagerly, sitting forwards in her seat in a way that would make her step-father snap at her to sit back or else she’d ruin her damn eyes. the report was on (another) fight in the city, one her father had been involved in. 

cass believed in the young avengers, believed in their mission and what they could do. each of them had so many talents and abilities - but maybe it was their mutual stubbornness that really held them together. they were kick-ass, no butt left unkicked when the young avengers were about (wait, that maybe didn’t sound so good?). 

but her father. he was the one she believed in the most. and it wasn’t just belief he could save the day. it was a pure belief he could do anything. 

she listened intently as the news reporter described the attack, but then instead ignored them to focus on the images. it was clear the reporter was biased, and that they weren’t exactly huge fans of heroes. whatever. her dad had been amazing, and she just needed to see the pictures to make sure he was alright. she’d talked with him on the phone, but she still hadn’t yet been able to visit. 

she gave a sigh of relief as an aftermath image showed scott lang just fine and a bright grin spread on her features. OF COURSE he was alright. he always was. scott lang, his daughters hero from day one.  he was funny and he was smart, and they just loved each other. it wasn’t that cassie thought he could do EVERYTHING. she wasn’t stupid, and she wasn’t completely blinded by her love. she just believed that he would always be there, and just as importantly, that he would always try. he was A GOOD MAN. despite what some thought. if anyone could help her, in any situation, well then it was going to be her daddy.

she sat back in the chair, grin not quite left her features yet. the fight looked way more awesome from the video and images on the news that her dad had made it out to be. but then he’d been distracted on the phone. when they met up later in the week for milkshakes and burgers they could talk more, and she’d get the full story - with tonnes of puns, and impressions, and actions. it’d be better then, in person. it always was.

twelve;; 

what was the best thing in your character’s life?

“that’s a stupid question! i can’t just narrow it down to one thing. i mean, c’mon eli, what’s your best thing, huh?”

the question had aggravated her for a second - just a split second really, and then she’d calmed down. she let her arms fall back to her side after throwing them in the air, and actually began to consider the question. it was NONSENSE of course. like, honestly, how could she just specify one thing.

“i mean, being born was kind of awesome. i feel like my birth has really led to some of my greatest moments,” she joked, sending her friend a grin. the blonde ran her hand through her hair, her thoughtful expression coming into play (really, her look of concentration wasn’t so pretty - slightly scrunched up nose, slight frown, furrowed brow). she was really trying to come up with an answer.

“maybe the day i first got pym particles? my dad used them to stop me from-- y’know, dying and all. heart problems. that was maybe the best. course, i then went on to start stealing the particles. maybe the best day was the day i finally found out the stolen particles were doing something and could let me grow and shrink.” that had been AWESOME. both of those days. the first time she’d gotten pym particles so much fear and worry had been lifted from her, and she felt better knowing her parents were  slightly less worried for her too. but getting powers? what could beat that?

she gave a groan, reaching out and giving eli a light shove (not like a hard shove from her would move him anyways). “why d’you have to make me think so early in the fucking morning? c’mon eli, it’s too tough for me. i mean... what about meeting you? and kate? and the rest of the team, huh? that’s one of the best things too. i’m not a decisive person - at least not with these things. i’m gonna have to pass on this question.”

thirteen;; 

What was the worst thing in your character’s life?

“seriously? yesterday was the best, and now we’re onto the worst? what, couldn’t you think of anything else to ask me? you know i don’t like straining myself in the morning.” that wasn’t actually true, she was quite the morning person. just not the best at being decisive on these things. plus, why think about the WORST thing? eli just liked annoying her was all.

“i dunno. thinking my dad was dead? that was like-- i mean, it doesn’t get much worse than that right?” course he hadn’t been dead, and that had just been cassie’s imagination running away with her. just thrown in jail. again. that happened a fair bit. she always worried about her dad - he was as accident and trouble prone as she was. it was a lang family trait. 

“maybe the times i’ve nearly died. i don’t mean with you guys. i mean before. like... before before. when i’d never had any pym particles. i couldn’t do anything really. i wasn’t meant to strain my heart and you know what? EVERYTHING strains a persons heart. any excitement or fear or sheer joy. it sucked. there were a lot of times i was rushed to hospital as well. that was scary. maybe feeling so helpless. that was a bad thing. but come on! eli, you can’t make me think about all the bad stuff. can we go back to the best quesiton now? i don’t have an answer but it’s way better than this?”

she sent her friend a grin, strolling down the street with her morning coffee and a muffin. morning meet ups were always fun. the questions? not so much. she was still happy, but the question did get her thinking. she’d had some sucky moments. and maybe deciding on the worst things was easier than the best things. what she’d already mentioned were in her top three worst moments - in no particular order. and the third thing? 

a hand went absently to her cheek, the blonde thinking of the time her mother had slapped her. the hit hadn’t been too painful - but it had shocked her. it hadn’t helped with the resentment she’d always sorta had for her mother and step-father. she LOVED them, but kinda hated them too. and she remembered that slap clearly, and that they’d been arguing over her father. and his heroics, and his job, and him turning up to see cassie. they’d not always liked scott seeing her - but knew she’d just run to him if they tried to keep her away. yeah. that slap was nothing like any punch she’d taken from villains. but to come from her mother? ...yeah. yeah, that had made it a whole lot worse. and to have been hit because her mum didn’t like her speaking and saying things in a loving tone about her dad made it worse.

she shook her head, noticing eli giving her a questioning look. she smiled, pulled a silly face, and then said, “don’t stare. in polite company that’s considered fucking rude.”
