Finally getting back to answering some of these! Yay!
Ahuska: Does your character personify objects? - I'd say generally in a very ordinary sort of way, really. That said, even though she only recognised her Force Sensitivity for what it was quite late in life compared to many, she's always been particularly attuned to the natural world and to living things. So her descriptions of plants, for example, might have been more likely to lean into personifications based on what she was genuinely feeling from them (...those flowers are thirsty, look how those branches are reaching for the sun...) as opposed to how she'd talk about a rock or a cloud or a vehicle, but still it would be more about vivid communication rather than any genuine perception of 'personhood'. Would your character eat or drink something they didn’t like to appease someone (bananas)? - Depends on the level of dislike. Ahuska isn't especially fussy and in general would much rather avoid conflict than refuse to eat something she doesn't favour. BUT, when it comes to something like bananas, which are vile fruits spawned from the toxic waste pipes of Hutta, Ahuska would explain that even if she tried to eat them, she wouldn't be able to keep them down. If they were offered to her as a kind gesture she'd appreciate it but politely refuse. If it was a matter of some sort of, I don't know, political alliance that hinged on gifting consumables, she might make up a little white lie about being allergic because frankly all the goodwill and political necessity in the galaxy couldn't turn them into something actually palatable. What is your character’s favorite form of affection? - Oof. She is by nature a very affectionate girl in almost every way. She adores gifts, both giving and receiving. Sharing experiences, being playful and able to laugh together. Feeling listened to and supported. But I think pure, honest physical affection is what means the most to her and what she craves most deeply... making it all the more tragic that physical touch in certain scenarios can send her spiralling into a panic attack. Is there a habit your character has that they learned from someone else? - Ahahaha. If she's ever caught out giving someone a suggestive little waggle of her eyebrows, or baring her teeth in a massive grin that splits her snout, you can be pretty confident those are gestures that she picked up from a certain Crow.
Ulfran: What is a talent your character wishes they had? - Having spent his formative years as a devout Padawan followed by decades of devoted service to the Order while undercover, Ulfran never really pined for any sort of skills that he didn't have the means to study and learn. That said, he is currently wishing he was as patient and introspective as he is sure he once was, though the side of him that acknowledges these are skills that need to be actively worked on and kept sharp is warring pretty hard with the side of him that says he shouldn't have to care about petty things like being patient with others when they're being combative and reckless. What is a topic your character wouldn’t want to talk about? - Ulfran is not at all forthcoming about the subject of past affections. There's a lot of pain there. He'd also rather not discuss how long he was working in service of the Jedi Order, nor when and how that changed. That's his business and not open for the input of others. What is a topic your character would be excited to talk about? - Ancient history and archaeology and the Force-associated properties of crystals across the galaxy. Gods how he'd love to just forget about all the threats and posturing and social climbing associated with being a Sith Lord and just wax nostalgic about cave dives and tomb raids and unique crystal clusters.... Does your character have a high pain tolerance? - It's pretty impressive to the average being, yes, and he trained for it specifically to be able to withstand the various traps he used to have to work his way through and past back in his exploring and adventuring days. Later, he put it to use while learning to channel lightning, into which he put countless hours of practice to put on a convincing show without actively drawing on the Dark Side (and therefore only hurting himself) - though nowadays, he doesn't bother with the façade and just goes to town letting that dark energy burn his opponents.
