The High Priestess: When has trusting their instincts paid off for your character?

image

(Ah an there is the problem. Dest doesn’t really trust her instincts very well. She really should. Otherwise she might approach some situations a bit better. Such as dealing with Leera. She thinks more with her head or heart but rarely pays much attention to instincts. No wonder she gets herself into such trouble. Okay maybe once in a while she does. She felt like Nate was a good person. She trusted the way she felt about him after just meeting him once. An now he is part of the Order. As well as a very dear friend.)

The Magician in Reverse: When was your character manipulated? (I love this question!)

image

(Actually she is currently being manipulated. She just can’t see it because she wants to believe Leera has something in him worth redeeming. He totally enjoyed watching her the day she had a verbal fight with Felix and Dusk. She even went as far as to contact him over the linkpearl he left her, giving him details of a conversation she overheard between Oni, Frost, and Aimee. Oni and Aimee are supposed to be her friends and allies. Yet she gave up the information easily that night. Warning him. Even if Leera does has some sliver of feelings towards her, he is still generally not a very nice person. He is toying with her though she thinks he does care about her. What his evil plans with using her are I couldn’t tell you. Could merely be for entertainment. Getting to watch her break like glass.)

Heroic/Villain Attributes Destiney

Heroic Attributes

Bold traits apply. Italicized traits are situational.

Devoted | Brave | Self-sacrificial | Motivational | Respectful | Persevering | Understanding | Loyal | Courageous | Generous | Active | Open-minded | Non-judgmental | Integrity | Truthful | Supportive | Just | Responsible | Lawful | Reverent | Fearless | Resilient | Patient | Fair | Humble | Forgiving | Protective | Good Hearted | Considerate | Trustworthy | Optimistic | Diplomatic | Faithful | Gallant | Polite | Altruistic | Moral | Inspiring | Compassionate | Kind | Cooperative | Merciful | Dauntless | Tough | Physical Strength | Head-strong | Abstinent | Logical | Amiable | Benevolent | Balanced | Dutiful | Genuine | Helpful | Orderly | Rational | Sympathetic


Truthful:
This one is a trait but also has situational circumstances. She is truthful about most everything except her feelings at times. Those she has a tendency to avoid talking about or changing the topic. Trying to not out right lie about it though.


Villainous Attributes

Aggressive | Callous | Cannibal | Careless | Compulsive | Cowardly | Domineering | Envious | Greedy | Hypocritical | Impatient | Impolite | Kidnapper | Lazy | Liar | Lustful | Materialistic | *Murderer | Obsessive | Overcritical | Overemotional | Patronizing | Psychotic | Sarcastic | Self-Indulgent | Serial-killer | Torturer | Touchy | Unclean | Unpredictable | Untidy | Vain | *Vengeful


Murderer: Dest has killed a couple of Imperial Soldiers. With intent to kill for revenge. She does consider herself a murderer. But she won’t/can’t repeat it with any other person. Hence why I marked it with a *. It’s situational yet not.

Vengeful: Dest spent five years nursing a need for vengeance. She got that revenge but damaged herself in the process. Now she tries to keep vengeance to simple things like getting even with someone for a prank. So it’s situational yet not.

Justice in Reverse: When has your character been treated unfairly or cruelly?

image

(The worst she has ever been treated was while in Ishgard. The rumors an whispers when she was walking around. She is a half midlander, half wildwood though she looks completely elezen. Her grandfather, the Aurifore are an upper class family, disowned her mother before she was born. So in a sense she was treated much like a half-breed bastard. Unwanted. So she had no friends nor tried to make any friends during the five years she lived in Ishgard.)

The Moon in Reverse: When does your character mistrust their feelings or intuition?

image

(Haha. Honestly I think Nate got a taste of this last night when they talked. Dest tries to think logically when it comes to work. So sometimes she ignores feelings or intuition because she feels they can cloud judgement when it counts the most. Especially when it comes to the cards she has. The last mission the cards insisted on the futility of the actions to be taken that night. Something didn’t sit right with her about this mission.

Yet she chose not to trust her feelings on the matter. Especially when all the signs pointed to trouble. Most definitely when the enemy led them into that trap. Yet she chose to ignore it. The enemy was cornered. Or at least they thought. She spent the weekend regretting not trusting her feelings or noticing the signs.)

On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets? (( Thank you for your question also! ^^

image

(For Dest it would consist of her contents of a pouch since not all her outfits have pockets. So a small notebook, a deck of black cards with gold trim, bandages, some gil, a potion, and an ether. Her basic everyday items.)

image

(For Lance it’s mainly gil. He doesn’t carry much when he has duty. If he’s not on duty he carries a bit more. A linkpearl to reach Miu and a map cause he isn’t familiar with areas beyond Coerthas.)

image

(Karigan tends to carry a pouch or two because she doesn’t exactly have a place she calls home right now. Definitely gil, extra daggers, a change of clothes, and a couple potions.)

(Thanks for asking! 😀 @mugishalffull)

Favorite seasons and what is a nightmare they have that happens regularly?

image

(Spring and Fall. She’s a fan of the weather that isn’t too cold or too hot. Watching the colors of those two seasons is even better. Flowers in the Spring and Leaves in the Fall.)

Flashes of images. Pain and blood. Her own screams, mixed in agony and despair. Those leering faces of the Imperials as she sat there pinned to the wall by that lance. A sword piercing into her chest. Waking up, heart in her throat an hand over her chest.

(While they no longer happen nearly as often anymore, she does on occasion still have the same reoccurring nightmare. Mostly around the time of year that the incident occurred is when it is most often. But it’s been getting better because she has found a good support system in the company she calls family.)

image

(Summer. He’s spent so many years dealing with endless winter that he much enjoys the heat of summer. Not to mention he’s grown to like going to the beaches.)

Smoke and screams filled the corridor. The roar of a dragon shakes the walls. Lance was a novice once more. Yet no matter how hard he ran he never seemed to gain any ground towards the fighting. The orders shouted out were muted to him. Bursting through the doorway finally left him outside. No! That wasn’t where he wanted to be! He fell to his knees, looking up at the burning Vigil.

(Lance doesn’t have this nightmare often but it is the most common if he should have a nightmare. He was a novice at the time he was assigned to the Steel Vigil when he was younger. He was one of the lucky ones to escape because of Chlodebaimt’s sacrifice.)

Jettatura from @sunshineandlotus

(Destiney probably wouldn’t even if the idea was tempting. She is trying not to get to the point again where vengeance leads her down dark paths. If she were to be tempted into doing such, it would probably be something that didn’t threaten the person physically. Maybe something more mental.)

image

(He wouldn’t magically curse anyone. Ever. He would rather let physical fighting solve his problems an would probably challenge his enemy to a fight. Of course assuming he knew he stood a chance of winning. He might seek out someone to help him get stronger before making that challenge though.)

image

(Kari would be the most likely of the three to resort to a magical curse. Yet she has no skills with aether/magic. Untrained/No Interest. But she would be the one to find someone else to do it for her. She has made enemies thought none that serious. Just people who she has a grudge against for various reasons. Usually other mercenaries she doesn’t see eye to eye with. She would likely resort to some curse that would make all their jobs failures. So she could smirk an watch from the shadows as they had zero luck on completing anything.)
