THE EXCESSIVELY DETAILED CHARACTER MEME

[Darastrix]

This thing is from Tumblr, and I was like, 'why not?' Tweaked it a little bit to fit with Naruta a bit better. And added a bunch more things. Oops.

27 - Zack

[Darastrix]

27: What is their biggest regret?

Zack has a couple of big regrets. The first was leaving Talen'sul back when Zira first expressed his attraction to him. At the time, he couldn't get Zira to come out and talk to him, and eventually, he made the executive decision that maybe some distance would be good for them. While it worked out for the better and they did meet new people and make new friends, he knows now that he hurt Zira's feelings and that it could just have easily gone badly. So, he doesn't regret the travel so much as how he went about starting off.

The other regret was hurting Kleio by expressing his own feelings for Zira. He hadn't wanted their relationship to end because of him, and he'd kind of hoped that maybe some sort of open relationship would work with the three of them (he didn't exactly think that through much, but he'd gotten himself to the point where he needed to say something). He wishes he'd gone to Zira first, though the result might have been the same. The result might have been the same even if he'd kept his mouth shut. He just hates that he was the reason Kleio got hurt. Of the two, this is probably the one he regrets most.

18 - Sunflower

(I'm going to do some assuming here but it seems reasonable)

Sunflower's favourite beverage, particularly when it's cold, is lemon tea with some honey in it. It's something she usually had whenever she had a sore throat and she associates is with comfort and feeling better. Plus it's very tasty.<br><br>41 - Lucifer

If anything, he would have a superiority complex, brought about by his healing abilities and his opinion of them. He's good, and he knows he's good.

Locket 5: Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

She likes to keep herself clean, but she's often in disarray as is most of her things. Every now and then she'll get an inspired urge to be super clean and will pick up everything (shove it into corners) and make sure her hair is perfectly combed, etc. This usually lasts a few days tops and then it's back to putting things any old place and forgetting about them and constantly ending the day looking like she was rolling on the floor at some point (which she probably was.)

Thistle: 58: How would they react upon being exiled?

Thistle: 58: How would they react upon being exiled?

Well, considering his supply of drugs and whatnot would be pretty much cut off, he'd likely go a bit crazy, and angry. He would likely try to hurt as many people as possible on the way out, and wherever he would end up he would still be a ball of rage. I can see him ending up killing one if not more people and basically getting in a lot of trouble everywhere he went.

Aries 3: Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

[Darastrix]

OOPS. THAT EXILE QUESTION WAS ONE I DID FOR THIS MEME ON ANOTHER SITE. XD It doesn't make so much sense here; threat of exile's not a Thing that most people have hanging over their heads on Naruta.

Lucifer - 41: Hobbies?

Lucifer's a big proponent of the whole "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" thing, so the study of history is one of his preferred pastimes. Less related to "life skills that help you survive" is music. Lucifer, like Brad, was born into the upper class, and music is one of the things he took up in his free time as his father's spare heir. He plays piano, and isn't half-bad at it.

Schuldig. 49: Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?

He's not so much afraid of dying as worried about what will happen to the people he'd leave behind (minus Brad. He doesn't worry much about him these days). Death in and of itself is just a thing to him. Happens to everyone. Most of his life has been focused on avoiding it if at all possible, sometimes out of sheer spite, but he's never really been afraid to die. He turned down the Black Swan, FFS. After growing up in Morilanta at the tender mercies of his teachers, he knows damn well that there are things a lot worse than death.

Libre - 59: Non-vital or silly secret? (Like not letting anyone know they can sing)

Aries trains. He trains in his dexterity, especially his hands, for pick-pocketing. He runs. He works on his weapons a little though not as much as Bas and Pas. This is going to change soon.

Libre - 59: Non-vital or silly secret? (Like not letting anyone know they can sing)

Libre has a toy horse made by someone in his clan from when he was a kid. He keeps it on a nightstand by his bed and strokes the real horsehair parts sometimes as a comforting gesture.

Midnight 45: Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

[Skittlebug]

Neil - 56: Their worst-kept secret (e.g. That thing they never talk about, but everyone knows it anyway?)

This would be a lot easier if more people actually knew him.
I think it would be the fact that he doesn't care about killing people, except Kiri's put a stop to that.

So instead, I would say 'He sexed Kiri'.

Neil 6: Eating habits and sample daily menu

He eats quite a bit, considering he spends a lot of time training and has a good metabolism. He isn't picky, at all, growing up eating whatever you can get will do have that effect.


Kiri 26: Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t work out?

Dusk 45: Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

[Darastrix]

Midnight 45: Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

This is the man who went to ask Zack's help-slash-advice when he wanted to propose to Snowflake. He can answer a direct question well enough, but when it comes to self-prompting, he's not sure what to say. He's also not all that talkative in the first place, and he's fairly reserved, so he prefers doing things to talking about them. His occupation reinforces this habit; guards are better known for deeds than words, and in his opinion, words can be misunderstood (and make him feel awkward) but an action leaves less room for misinterpretation.

Dusk 45: Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

Both? Both. Both is good.

Dusk is chatty and open and has absolutely no problems with expressing herself verbally. In her personal life and as a priestess of Love, she also likes to back up her words with actions, particularly when trying to comfort or show affection. Whatever you need, she'll do it. And if you need to talk, she'll do that, too. It also applies to her political rank. A ruler needs to be able to speak her mind and act when words aren't sufficient, and she's not shy about either.

Spice 25: How do they see themselves 5 years from today?


Kamilla 8: Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

Kamilla 8: Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

Most definitely dancing. She loves losing herself in the music and just letting go. It's a form of escape, and also empowerment of a kind. She is good at it, she got booty, and she knows it.


Scarlet 33: Concept of home and family?

[Kender Bard]

Kiri 26: Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t work out?

Soooooort of? Not really. Kiri feels she needs to find a place to settle down and raise her daughter safely with Neil, but at the same time she can't wrap her head around the idea. Even if she doesn't fully grasp the depths of what Neil is she can't help but contrast him to a wild animal that's been barely tamed. She can't see him settling down to the white picket fence ideal... And she can't see herself easily doing it either. But she knows she needs to do SOMETHING. Just not what that something is. So don't even get me started on contingency plans.

Spice 25: How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

Not long ago the answer would have been, "Going on adventures and exploring" because he's always wanted to do that. In five years, Loki would be old enough to take care of himself with the help of Crentha and Talon. But now... Not that seems unlikely. With Talon, Acqua, and Amaro gone, Spice is going to be hit with the realization that he is the man of his house. He has a duty to his siblings to raise them. So in five years? Still working, still supporting his family.

Pallab 31: Most prized possession?

Pallab 31: Most prized possession?

Pallab doesn't have much by way of possessions, but what he does prize is information. It can be so much more valuable than any possession, and used in many more ways.
