🍅, 🏀, ☀️, 🔮, 🌸, 🌷 for Shasta!
🍅 How easily is your OC embarrassed? What subjects make them flush and why? What event has made your OC the most embarrassed they’ve ever been?
Shasta gets embarrassed waaaaay more than he’d like to. It’s mostly little things about society and etiquette that he never learned about, anything that makes him feel dumb or out of touch is super embarrassing. I mean, compliments will also make him flush but it’s not as upsetting lol. The most embarrassed he’s ever been was when he had to make a speech in English and mispronounced one of the words in front of a giant audience ‘:{ (it’s not his strongest language).
🏀 Does your OC have any skills that people wouldn’t expect them to have? Do they have a hobby or pass time that others would consider strange or weird? How did they learn this particular skill or pick up this hobby?
Shasta is incredibly strong at hand to hand combat! Know one really knows how or why, it’s possible that he learned it from one of the illegal fighting rings, but Shasta doesn’t tell many people about his past. He also likes to collects trophies like bits of cloth or metal from the aliens he arrests, Chris thinks that’s weird but doesn’t outright question it.
☀️ How well does your OC take care of themselves? Do they tend to put others before their own wellbeing and if so how often? What is their favourite way to pamper themselves?
Shasta’s not the best at taking care of himself and usually forgets that he can get hurt or sick. He puts everyone before his own wellbeing, his job is pretty much rescuing people on a daily basis so it’s become a lifestyle for him. Often he’ll have a warm bath to just relax and “wash away” the stress he’s accumulated.
🔮What does your OC think is their best trait. What is actually their best trait? What about their flaws? Are they one to admit these flaws or do they like to pretend they’re perfect?
He thinks his best trait is his loyalty, which is true. But I personally think his best trait is his perseverance and tolerance. Although one of his biggest flaws is his anger, he has a very hard time containing his anger at past events and people which has caused him to get a little “trigger happy” during missions (I’d like to make a mini comic about it one day). He thinks it’s justice and revenge, and doesn’t want to admit his poor anger management is an issue.
🌸 What’s a sentence that would make your OC’s day better? One that would make them laugh? One that would make their day worse? Why? What words would you have to say to them to completely ruin their day?
Something like “you’re loved/safe here.” or any sort of praise will make him feel really happy. Pretty much all of Christopher’s jokes and bad puns are guaranteed to make him laugh. Hearing stuff about humans like “silly little things.” will make him really upset, any sort of speech that belittles humans is an instant trigger for him.
🌷 How much effort does your OC put into their looks? Do they care much about how they’re dressed or what their hair looks like or are they not bothered? Could they be considered a snob or a slob?
Shasta puts more effort into his hair for sure, that’s what’s the most important to him. He does like to dress well and puts some thought into his clothes, but he doesn’t mind if he looks a little messy. Compared to Chris he’s definitely more uptight about his looks, but he’s not really a snob or slob.
