The Tower: What event would trigger your muse’s breaking point?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Dest. Dest. Dest…. She has the most triggers out of all my characters. The one with the most emotional instability. The one who tends to break the easiest. Partly because she was already broken. So there are things from her past that still trigger her breaking point. The way she responds or acts depends on what event we talk about.

If we are talking about fighting people or going near as Castrum… Well those are some pretty rough triggers. They dredge up the nightmares/flash backs, shaking, near mental meltdowns. She is trying to find a way past these right now though with the help of Nate.

If we talk about arguments with people she cares about or failing at something… Well that is mostly hurt feelings and feeling as if she isn’t good enough. Usually this causes her to disappear off to the Shroud to hide or drown her hurt in drinks. Which she is a lightweight so it doesn’t take much. However! Depending how hurtful some of the words said are… She may end up with injuries. Sometimes preferring the physical pain over the mental so she won’t heal them right away. The injuries are never truly on purpose though. She is just reckless while emotionally upset. Which more often then not ends up with her getting injured somehow.)

The Tower: What event would trigger your muse’s breaking point?

(Lance can be a fairly strong character when it comes to withstanding against things. Of course he is far from invincible. Just does a good job not letting things show. He has gotten pretty good at wearing a mask with the way his family is. The thing most likely to trigger his breaking point will be family or failing in his duties to Hallienarte. Family means a lot to him. Even if there is little love from his immediate family. His service to Hallienarte also means a great deal to him. I actually have something planned in the near future that will test his breaking points. So we will see just how bad things get before Lance finds that breaking point.)

Wheel of Fortune: Does your muse believe in luck?

“If you mean bad luck then definitely. I seem to have a lot of it.” Destiney chuckles as she reaches up to put a book on the top shelf. The end result being a couple other books falling down, one smacking the top of her head. She glares at the offending books… “As I said… Though honestly I don’t believe it is all luck either. Some of it I believe is fate or the Twelve giving nudges in the right direction. It’s complicated.” She sighs an shrugs as she bends down to pick up the books off the floor.

“I’m still trying to figure this all out myself. Some of what I used to believe in, I now question. I blame those cards I found while on a mission with the Order. Ever since finding those things I’ve begun to question just what I believe.”

image

“Not really. I believe more in Halone then I do luck. If she deems something worthy of happening then it will happen. I’d rather not try to rely on something that seems so fickle. Luck seems to be as fickle as it comes.” He frowns as he continues to sharpen the edges of his sword. “Good. Bad. Luck has little meaning to me.”

What’s a negative thing about your character that you enjoy writing?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

Oh geez. I don’t intentionally try to write negative things most of the time. Well in Dest’s case most of it is usually unintentional. The others is more intentional then Dest. Dest is and has been mostly a play by ear an gets based off interactions with others. I tried to balance her out but in the end she has become so very complex. Not that I would have her any other way. ❤

Destiney: I think the most negative thing I tend to enjoy writing for her is the emotional struggle. She is still trying to find ways to cope with certain things. Sometimes she can seem shallow but deep down there is so much more to her once someone gets to know her. Still waters run deep.

Lancefer: I enjoy writing the family turmoil for him. A family where everything looks fine on the outside but behind closed doors… There is a lot of tension and a lot of burden on his shoulders. He has to find a way to endure an protect others from the ill intentions of his grandfather and father.

Karigan: I haven’t had much chance to explore her fully. I’ve only begun to really settle into a backstory for her. She’s running from a past she would rather forget and trying to forge her own legacy. So for the most part the negative thing I enjoy writing for her is the struggle to become a mercenary. She’s still mostly a novice.

Alexois: Pretty much a fresh face just begun because of a head cannon response I wrote for Lancefer. He’s the darker side of all the light. A villain and downright mean character. Looking forward to exploring the dark side an seeing just how well I can write negative things for him.

Thanks for asking! @aracelicaillen

What is an activity or hobby that your muse might say is foolish or dumb, but secretly wants to do?

(This was a tough one an really made me think hard about it. Only going to answer this for Destiney though. I haven’t decided for the other two characters. Thanks for asking @house-vexile)

Destiney always says she thinks the activities and games at the Gold Saucer are dumb. That gambling is foolish. But that is partly because she has such poor luck when it comes to gambling. However it is also something she secretly wants to do. Including actually becoming a decent Triad player.)

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Thanks for asking @doriansmoustache Going to go OOC for this. Don’t feel these three would openly talk about it.)

image

(Dest has a good many fears. Picking one in particular wasn’t easy. I think the biggest is that one day she is going to have to kill again. Whether it be to protect someone she loves or to defend herself. An she’s afraid that she will fail to be able to act. That the person she is trying to save will die because she couldn’t kill. While things have gotten easier with the help of her free company, she still finds combat against people impossible.

As far as what generally scares her beyond the biggest? Many things. Those are best found out while RPing though. She still finds new things that scare her from time to time. Such as behavior of certain people who I will not name. I’m sure if they read this they know who they are. 😛

Dest’s reactions vary depending on what it is that scares her. Sometimes curling up in a corner. Somethings running if she is not too scared to move. Definitely some form of yelp or shriek if it comes too close. So she has a range of behavior that depends on just how scared she is.)

image

(Lance’s biggest fear is an will always be failure. Whether it be failing in his duty as a knight or failing to protect someone.

He of course has smaller fears beyond the biggest such as his family. But he is also a newer character then Destiney and I have no had as much time to develop him fully.

As far as his behavior when afraid… Well he hides it fairly well. Or at least tries to. He tries to squash the fear with the facts that if he doesn’t act or he allows fear to control him then he really will fail. It won’t be until later that he’ll let those feelings out. Usually while alone unless someone has gotten close enough to him for him to share such a part of himself with them.)

image

(Karigan’s biggest fear is death. Yes everyone fears deaths. Some more then others. Kari sees death as the end not as another path in life. She’s too young to die is her most common thought.

She is a new character I’ve only recently began. Well an old character who I’ve finally given a story an life. So I’m still developing her fears and such. So she is by far the most undeveloped of the three.

As far as behavior, she doesn’t hide it very well when she’s afraid though she does try. Her ears will flatten against her head and her tail will go rigid. She behaves a lot like a cat who is afraid. So watch for scratching! Probably best not to corner cause she’ll fight like a woman possessed to get away from something she’s afraid of.)

8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals? (Any character!)

(Thanks for asking @ffxivaltaholic & @rhapsodies-of-vanadiel)

“I had no pets growing up. Mother insisted we had enough in our lives without adding a pet. Which was true and I did not argue it. I did have my training to join the Quiver at the time so I thought to actually follow my mother’s advice. For once.” She laughs an reaches down to scratch the head of the young wolf pup at her feet. “Now though? I have one pet. And two companions. So yes I like animals. I always have. I just did not have the maturity to have pets when I was younger. This one here is Tucker. He mostly stays at my house.”

She rolls her eyes as a small blue dragonet squawks before perching on her shoulder. “Lady here is not a pet though some people seem to try an consider her so. She is a companion an has a mind of her own. I’m pretty much just her babysitter.” Yelps softly as Lady nips the edge of a pointed ear. “My other companion is Nebula, my chocobo. I would not really call her a pet. She would object to being called a pet as much as as Lady does.”

image

“No pets. It was never allowed and I never had an interest really. Not that I have anything against pets. I think I just have never really found the one suited to my life. I spend a lot of time in Coerthas mostly. Not exactly a good place for a pet when you are on duty. Nor would I trust leaving a pet to the whims of my family in Ishgard. Maybe someday.”

image

“I had a fish in a tank once as a child. I wasn’t very good at remembering to feed it though. I think father kept an eye on it for me. At least until it passed. My life now though is kind of not suited to a pet. Neither are my goals. If I found a pet suited to my traveling an dangerous life then I would gladly take one. Hopefully they wouldn’t be too reliant on me remembering to feed it though.”

Seashell: What’s a sound that soothes you? Stars: What’s one wish you have?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Thanks for asking @kyrelldreams & @kibuto. Both of you asked for the seashell one lol. An since you popped an ask I’m doing something special for you, Kyrell. Going to include Karigan for you in honor of our RP. 😀 Though I still need to finish her background. Not happy with what I did put up on the profile the other night.)

image

“I find the sound of rain to be soothing. No voices, no movement. Just the sound of the rain falling upon a roof or the trees. Or even the sound of a waterfall. The waves crashing. So pretty much just the sound of water in general.” A soft smile as she closes her eyes, thinking of one of those things she had just answered with.

She finally opens her eyes an tilts her head as she thinks upon the second question. “There are a lot of things I could wish for. An thinking about… If I wished for them an they came true I might be a different person today because of it. So in a way…” A tapping of her fingers against her desk. “I guess I would have to wish for the happiness and safety of those I love right now. Because as much as my past has hurt an broken me before… I’m glad I’ve ended up where I am right now. I’m glad to be with the people I can call my family. Even if a certain member… Is not particularly my favorite right now.”

image

“A soothing sound…” He puts a crooked finger up to his lips in thought on the question. It takes him a few moments before finally looking up again. “Music. Soft gentle music. Whether it be from an instrument or someone singing. Is not the saying music soothes the savage beast?” He laughs richly before waving his had as if to dismiss his own attempt at a joke. “Not that I am some savage beast mind you. But it does soothe this warrior’s heart.”

“As for one wish… That is difficult at best. There are many things I would like to wish for. Especially now. I guess… The best wish I could make would be to wish Haillenarte to be restored. It would mean less pain and suffering for the children of Haillenarte. I have so much respect for them an I hate to see them suffer for the fall of the Vigils. I wish I could ease their burdens.”

image

“My favorite sound that I find soothing is the wind. Howling or gentle. Because sometimes those howling winds mean a storm. I love storms but I also love to just enjoy a gentle breeze blowing through the trees and grasses. So definitely wind.” She says with a firm nod as she grins like a child with a prize.

“As for one wish… That’s a secret!” She holds up a finger an wiggles it back an forth like scolding someone. She laughs lightly before shrugging. “Well okay maybe it is not much of a secret. I wish to be a respected mercenary. I want to make a name for myself an earn respect. It’s a simple wish.”

( ﾟдﾟ): What amazes your muse? (in a good way) ((from @sunshineandlotus ))

(Thanks for asking @sunshineandlotus)

“In a good way… Praise for a job well done. Because I am not expecting it. I really don’t think I am that good. I try to do my best but I am still learning. I make mistakes all the time. Whether it be in handling a situation poorly or missing something entirely. So I often don’t feel I’ve done well enough to deserve that praise yet… It makes me happy anyways. It’s amazing to think someone thought I did good enough at something to deserve such praise.”

image

“Hmm. Amaze me in a good way… I would have to say seeing what the rest of Eorzea is like beyond the areas controlled by Ishgard. Seeing all these wonders I’ve been missing out on for so very long. There are so many beautiful places. An such a diversity of people.”

（　ﾟДﾟ） : What does your muse do when surprised?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Thanks for asking @sorceressofdurendaire)

“I think it would depend on the sort of surprised you are asking about. If it is good I’m bound to react better to it then if it is bad. I can sometimes be a bit jumpy and tense if surprised while stressed out. Most of the time I’m probably just going to be staring wide-eyed at whatever surprised me though.”

image

“I would not suggest surprising me. My first instinct is to defend myself. Years as a knight can do that to a person. Especially when dealing with dragons and heretics. I would hate to harm someone because they choose to surprise me. If someone does I just hope they do it a distance away from me so they are not harmed.”
