tell me about alec and shen
Sure, not quite sure what you want to know, but I’ll give it a try.
Alec Anderson:: He, HimLoves Strategic Planning - where things go, how they will do their job, when they’re supposed to do it - but mostly related to land or naval confrontation.Taverns are one of his favorite spots - at least when it’s semi quiet. If there’s too much ruckus he might have a problem.He enjoys quiet places, but his favorite is the sea where he learned how to lead from his father who was a captain on a privateer vessel.
He hates giving up, and he doesn’t often agree when giving up on something that he’s been at for a long time - stubborn as a mule they call him but he doesn’t care. If the job can be done by him, he will do it now.In the same boat, he dislikes cowards. If it’s strategically sound that they give up now, then yet he’s fine with a retreat - that doesn’t make a person a coward - but if the person doesn’t show when asked or if they run from battle merely because the odds are slightly stacked against them without a retreat, then they are a coward in his eyes.He likes order and planning, he abhors Chaos. The chaos that gets people killed and destroys plans that should be followed. There’s orderly chaos - as much of a conundrum that sounds - to places like cities or fortresses or towns or villages - but a chaos in battle means dead people that shouldn’t have died if they’d just went with the plan.
Lover of Music - whether it be singing or instruments, Shen loves music and plays fairly well on his own. He loves to make his elements create a music of their own and dazzle his friends with the sounds that they make.The Theatre is one of his favorite places - well, as long as there’s music being played and not the god awful plays. Unless it’s a well written musical, then he can handle it.Quiet places that allow him time to think and his music to flow are some of his favorite places, often out in the country side or in the quiet rooms of his own home.
Shen Abhors plays. They may tell a story to everyone else, but as a man who sees the words in color, much like the notes he plays, they seem so off and muddy. The Theatre is often too loud during plays which makes it even worse.He’s not the greatest fan of people who don’t enjoy good music - yes he understands that everyone has their own taste, and he loves the challenge of finding the perfect pitch for every person - but there are people who just don’t seem to care for it, and he doesn’t care for them.While battle has it’s one music, he’s certainly sure that he doesn’t like the sight of blood or the sound of people dying. He’ll fight if he has to but he’s getting out of there as soon as possible.
Thanks for that. I had literally nothing for Shen done. xD Asked before the ‘Get to Know my Characters Meme’.
