RQOTD: Give us some quotes from your characters, but without context!
Yay, thank you so much for this one! 😊
Let’s just ignore the fact, that my weakspot is not writing down shit as much as I should, and if I did, I can’t remember anymore where I put the files. 😂 I dug through my google docs though, and found at least some stuff, yay! Idk, why I have so much for Adel, because the guy usually doesn’t have much to say. Though he does have a lot of inner monologue on the other hand... 🤔
Anyway, here are some picks from different conversations:
(and sorry for NoGilles™ this time)
Oookkkkaaayyyy... no clue how you get THAT idea, but here goes.
First things first, authentic in-character reply, if the man were to answer for himself:
So on behalf of everyone, I answered for him under the cut
♥ (01) Is your OC in love? If so, with whom, and for how long?
Not at the moment.
♥ (02) Does another OC love your OC? If so, whom, and does your OC know?
I think I have to say Morty. At least he had a major crush on him, when they were younger, but he only told him about it years later, when he was already over it.
♥ (03) Are there any romantic gestures that your OC loves?
No…. I think?
♥ (04) Are there any romantic gestures that your OC hates?
Again, no… I think? He’s pretty much indifferent about romance.
(yeh, this questionnaire is going to be so much fun)
♥ (05) What is the most romantic thing your OC has done for someone else?
I fear he’s not very imaginative when it comes to romance, because he simply doesn’t care about it. You might end up with a walk on the beach under the starlight with him, and if you find that romantic, good for you, but it’s unintentional.
♥ (06) What is the most romantic thing that has been done for your OC?
Look, I’m not even sure he would be able to identify a romantic gesture as such…
♥ (07) How successful is your OC at flirting with others?
Being the suave ladies’ man that he is… do I really need to answer this question? Because I’m sorry to disappoint, but he’s not going to slip out of his Inquisitor Uniform and all of a sudden turn into a charmer.
♥ (08) What is your OC’s dream marriage proposal?
First things first, he’s got no intention to get married, ever.
Second, from his upbringing, he’s mostly familiar with arranged marriage, that means just following a specific protocol, so he never wasted a single thought on dream proposals.
♥ (09) What is your OC’s favorite small way to show their love?
You get to live another day, even if you’re confirmed a heretic?
♥ (10) What is your OC’s favorite big way to show their love?
Okay, this is purely hypothetical and it’s likely never going to happen, but just considering his personality, IF there were someone he was so absolutely and totally in love with, he would quite literally lay the world at their feet.
♥ (11) What do others love most about your OC?
Wait, is this aimed at other OCs? Because then I guess it depends on who you ask. The girls/women he’s been with in the past, surely loved his bedroom qualities as a lover, Titus certainly loves his fanaticism as an Inquisitor, Morty definitely loves his loyalty as a friend (also, he cute), Hostilian loves his melancholy and his overbearing strength, etc…
♥ (12) What do you love most about your OC?
Beside that he’s hot? He knows exactly what he wants and what he’s struggling for. He might be hard and sometimes take things to the extreme, but his motivation is gentle and pure. He always tries to be fair and is willing to reevaluate his point of view. Also he’s a sturdy little fuck, cockroaches almost are jealous.
♥ (13) How does your OC show their love to those that are not their partner(s)?
He doesn’t push them away entirely and lets them participate in his life at least somewhat.
♥ (14) Does your OC have any romantic traditions?
Nah.
♥ (15) What is your OC’s favorite type of Valentine’s Day candy?
He doesn’t eat candy…
♥ (16) What is your OC’s ideal first date?
*looks at him* *looks at the question* *looks back at him* Dating, huh? We don’t know her.
♥ (17) Could your OC fall in love with someone they’ve never met in person?
That’s unlikely. The scent of a person is very important to him, even if it happens more on a subconscious level.
♥ (18) Does your OC have a “type”?
Women? Besides scents, he has no preferences. And even with scents it’s not something specific he’s looking for, but generally if he can bear the other person’s natural body odor or not. And maybe it has something to do with pheromones.
♥ (19) How highly does your OC value love (platonic, romantic, or otherwise)?
*inhales through gritted teeth* 😬
♥ (20) How does your OC feel about public displays of affection?
What is affection and where do you buy it? Also, you mean, like, involving himself??? He doesn’t care much what others do, and might even turn a blind eye on illegal activities (yes, some types of affection are illegal in the Kingdom), if they don’t harm anyone.
♥ (21) Does your OC believe in love at first sight?
Let’s say, if someone would tell him they experienced it, he wouldn’t question it.
♥ (22) How often does your OC read romantic literature?
Never.
♥ (23) What is your OC’s favorite nice thing to do for themselves?
He likes to hang out at the red-light-districts, that are under Syndicate control, because they usually have the best bars and restaurants and fantastic bath houses and massage parlors. (not that kind of massage ya pervs - at least not where he’s going)
♥ (24) How does your OC determine that they’re attracted to someone?
When his libido tells him so. Though that never happened very often, anyway, and ever since he took a chastity vow, it just means to avoid that person for a while.
♥ (25) Does your OC believe in soulmates?
Actually, yes. Though he doesn’t believe that a soulmate is someone who stays forever in a person’s live, but rather is someone who triggers change in a person and brings them forward in life, before their ways part again.
♥ (26) Is your OC ever the first to say “I love you”?
If he feels it would be appropriate, sure.
♥ (27) How does your OC typically spend their Valentine’s Day?
He doesn’t care about it at all.
♥ (28) What is something unconventional that your OC thinks is romantic?
Idk, maybe if someone were to take care of the stray cat in his street, when he can’t. (knowing y’all and myself, he’d return after two weeks and the cat has turned into a big chonky chungus)
♥ (29) What is your OC’s favorite love song?
♥ (30) What is your OC’s favorite romantic movie?
A little interlude while I continue working on the Inquisition Mini Series.
Having way too much fun with pt.4 right now...
It’s going to get a bit gory.
okay I'll play nicely... I'll just pick numbers at random because idc I want to know everything... soooo 10-20 for Vernat, 30-40 for Levi, and 60-70 for Onimaru. Yes. I think that's all. FOR NOW.
LMAO, thank you for asking, and thank you for being humble (FOR NOW)! Without further ado, answers under the cut:
10. How many people have you had sex with this year? Details not necessary but feel free to divulge if you want.Vernat: *frowns at the question, like for real, that’s his first question?* I took a chastity vow several years ago, and so far I’m keeping it up. The vow, that is.
11. Would you consider yourself strong and/or powerful? If so, why? If not, why not?Vernat: Both, yes and no… the path of life I chose to go, requires a person tobe strong in their body and their mind. There is no room for ever doubting myown strength in these terms and it is of advantage to have and objective andhaving faith in doing the right thing. But there are things on this path, thataren’t meant for a sound mind to be seen… and sometimes I don’t know how tobear it all, other than to numb the last remaining sane corners of my mind.
12. Honestly, has anyone seen you in your underwear the past 3 months?Vernat: Not that I’m aware of.
13. Have you ever rebelled against authority? If so, what did you do?Vernat: I did. I gave back the land my grandfather and my father had stolen and I killed my old chapter master and his accomplices, that abused their younger acolytes. I always will stand up against everyone, if I see someone abusing theirauthority. And I expect no less from others, should I ever abuse mine.
14. What person, place, or thing have you most wanted to destroy?Vernat: This system of exploitation and everyone who is willingly contributing to it.
15. Who in this world do you hate the most (IF you hate anyone)Vernat: I do not hate. It poisons the mind and restricts a person from makingresponsible decisions.
16. Do you have any family members? List them.Vernat: The only one left is my younger brother.
17. Do you like your family? Do they like you?Vernat: We had our quarrels, when father died. But I convinced him to change his mind about certain things and we get along by now.
18. Do you consider any of your friends’ family?Vernat: Yes. I have been friends with Amistad (Inquisitor Mortiferus) since we were children, and I consider him a brother.
19. Do you have pets? What are their names?Vernat: I don’t. Although there is a stray cat, that I feed and that likes to sleep at my place at night. I just call them “Cat”, however.
20. If you do not have any pets, do you want any?Vernat: That would be rather irresponsible of me. I’m not a suitable caretaker for a dependent creature.
30. Are you interested in anyone?Levi: *chuckles* In which waayyyy?
31. Which should be saved – a bus full of innocent lives or a loved one?Levi: Wow… I guess, saving several innocent lives would be the morally superior choice, while saving a loved one is inherently more selfish. You’re asking really big brain time of me here… I’m not a very moral person, but I also wouldn’t consider myself selfish. And I don’t have a loved one either, so I can’t really give an answer here, that would reflect the reality of the situation, should I ever happen to be in it.
32. You meet someone who has killed someone and done time for it. Does this factor into how you treat them?Levi: *laughs sarcastically* Given that most people in my life have killed someone, probably both rightfully and wrongfully and also both did and did not face any consequences for it… I don’t think I’m in any position to judge anyone or treat them any different for whatever they did in their past.
33. Is it better to hurt other before they get a chance to hurt you or let yourself be walked all over and hurt by others?Levi: Uuuhhhh… I guess it should probably be avoided to even get that far… like, emotionally… just walk away, before it escalates like that. I wouldn’t mind being walked over in a more literal sense, though *laughs*
34. Can people be held accountable for things people close to or related to them have done or are they innocent?Levi: *inaudible moaning* Why did I have to get the big brain questions? Ugh…just ask me things about nipple piercings or something *chuckles* I don’t really think about things like that and barely have an opinion about it.
35. Would you sacrifice yourself for the good of everyone else?Levi: Uuuuhhhhh…no. Last time someone did that, it didn’t really do anything but cause more conflict. “The good of everyone else” doesn’t exist.
36. Is lying to others to gain their approval more important than being genuine and hated?Levi: I don’t like that there appears to be only approval or being hated. Youcan be genuine and people will still like you, if you’re not acting like a dickabout it. Like, wow… such a black-and-white world being painted here. Did my sister write these questions?
37. Have you ever contemplated killing someone? Who and why?Would you ever act on it? Are you frightened you might?Levi: Nah, I didn’t. No idea, if I’d act on it, if I did. My family didn’t bring me up with a lot of boundaries on the matter… so I guess, I wouldn’t be frightened I might.
38. Have you ever gotten sheer joy out of hurting someone else (physically or mentally)? If so, who and why? Did it scare you?Levi: Mmhhhh… no. I’m a masochist, I don’t have fun hurting others. Has to be the other way around for me. *laughs softly*
39. Have you ever done something morally wrong? Do you regret it?Levi: Ooookay, just in case this isn’t clear yet: half of my family is trashwith questionable morals, so it’s very likely that I did and do a lot of thingsthat may be considered morally wrong and I do not feel a single ounce bad about it.
40. What’s your favorite food?Levi: And somehow, this is now the odd question out of the bunch *chuckles* Icould snack on Churros all the time, which is probably why I’m a fat fuck, but I don’t care.
60. Do you get along well with others?Onimaru: For most of it… I would say, I am pretty laidback. Not difficult to deal with.
61. Do you have any enemies?Onimaru: None that I’d know of.
62. Are you satisfied with your life?Onimaru: I’m not trying to be philosophical about it, but I am genuinely not sure, if this is still considered a “life”… … *shrugs* It probably doesn’t matter. I have my best friend by my side, I don’t have anything more to ask for.
63. You just heard very juicy information about someone you hate. Do you spill the tea?Onimaru: I’ll play along, and pretend there is someone I hate – in that case, I don’t care about any information about that person, so telling my anything, is completely lost on me.
64. Drama is going on. Do you grab the popcorn and watch it unfold or just ignore it?Onimaru: I ignore it. I don’t want to be associated with things like that.
65. Someone tells you rumor about a close friend. Maybe they started it, maybe they didn’t ( you aren’t sure). What is your reaction?Onimaru: Hm… I would perhaps ask them, why they are telling me that. Because I genuinely don’t understand such behavior. Should the rumor turn out to be true, I will learn it from the person it concerns, if I am in a place to know it.
66. You have collected all the change in your house or apartment and have found 2 full jars of pennies. What do you do with it?Onimaru: *a gentle amused smile crosses his lips* I would be surprised we have that much money, and ask Yuki if he knows where it comes from. Then bring it to the bank to exchange it for paper money and see how much it actually it is. I doubt it would be more than five bucks, though.
67. What’s your most valuable possession? Did you get it yourself or was it a gift?Onimaru: My friendship with Yukio is most valuable to me, and I would say, it’s partly something I got myself, and partly something I was gifted.
68. What is the worst nickname anyone has given you?Onimaru: Eeehhh… I don’t know what is going on behind my back, but usually people just call me Oni for a nickname.
69. What is the best present you’ve ever received?Onimaru: Oh… that goes along with the question above. I don’t care much about material things, I don’t even know what they look like… ehm, so the relationships I have with other people, are the best things I can have.
70. What would be the best possible way you could die?Onimaru: Heh! *makes a sound that is located somewhere between scoffing, coughing and laughing* I did die the best possible way I could at the time: on a battlefield with my sword in my hand. It was a good death. It should have been the end. Now I’m not so sure, whether I am alive or dead, and if I can die, which way would be the best. I came back for a reason, but I forgot my purpose… I think, the best and probably only way to die again, would be to remember what brought me back, so I can fix it… and then I guess, I would just vanish and go to the other side for good. Hm.
