7. How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Hmm. OOC again. I find this one hard to really describe IC. Thanks for asking @cmahjiofbalmung)

image

(Destiney has mixed views about herself. Some days are better then others. Over all she probably views herself in a more Neutral stand point most of the time. Rarely does she perceive herself as positive though. She tries hard an doubts still plague her on if she is good enough for the role she is trying to fill among the Order. On her worst days she perceives herself in negative ways. She’s still trying her best to find the best way possible moving forward as some parts of her soul are still jagged and sharp. She’s healing an the Order is a blessing for her though. She’s been able to find her way through some really dark moments with their strength. So with time she will be able to start to perceive herself in a better light.)

image

(Lance perceives himself in mostly a positive light. He’s a knight with a high respect for honor and loyalty. The odds of him looking at himself negatively are very low and would depend on if he feels he’s failed in his duty somehow. Whether it be to Haillenarte, his cousin, or to his Lady Miu. Nothing to him is more sacred then his promises or honor.)

Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?

(Going OOC for this answer. Just easier. Thanks for asking, @sylvain-tolbert)

image

(She knows she has people who dislike her but has not gone as far as calling them enemies. She probably should. Her enemies are few though. Mostly her Grandfather and Uncle in the Aurifore family. She’s a half-breed from a Ishgardian mother who was disowned. Dest has been making herself more known over time which does not please Grandfather. She has a ‘pet’ dragonet. Lady is not really a pet but a small dragonet that has chosen Destiney as an interesting person to follow about. Destiney allows it because she likes Lady’s company. As well as she’s been dealing with some very old sharylan astrologian cards that were found while on a mission with the Order. She’s only used them for her company though she had asked around in Ishgard seeking answers about the cards before. Every thing she seems to do in Ishgard draws more ire from her family who lives there. Her Grandfather is stuck in the old ways, preferring to look at some of the things she’s doing as heresy. Other then her family, Dest doesn’t really have any enemies of her own.)

image

(Lance is in about the same boat as Destiney. Though not quite either. He’s not yet completely made his family his enemies. It will happen with time due to his actions and choices. Other then that he personally considers Heretics and dragons of Nidhogg’s brood to be his enemies. Anyone who tries to harm those he cares about of the nation he calls home is an enemy to him. He even considered one man of the Order and enemy before he learned more because the man had a reputation that Lance had once heard rumors about long ago. While he no longer considers the former Durendaire man an enemy, Lance still keeps a wary eye on him because of that reputation because he’s afraid that reputation will damn his cousin further.)

What is one skill your character wishes they had?

“Cooking without burning food.” She sighs an puts her head down on the table before her. “But maybe it is a good thing I can not. I have a bad sweet tooth. If I could cook the sweets I craved… It may be a bad thing. Granted work helps to keep me fit but I would hate to think of the sweets I would make an devour if I could cook.”

image

“I think… I would like to be skilled at more then a sword and pretty words. Maybe skilled with a trade of some sort. A fall back plan should I ever find myself unable to be a knight. Alas I have no skills with my hands beyond holding a weapon.”

aquamarine: where my muse feels most calm/relaxed

“Somewhere near water. A waterfall or lake. Or even in the Shroud among the falling raindrops. There is something peaceful about the rain. Or the roaring of water drowning out all other noise. Or just the absence of people because they are afraid of getting wet. The water is calming no matter it’s form.” She closes her eyes an sighs in content as she imagines being in one of those places at the time. “If I have a good book handy at the time it is even better yet. Though I would not risk taking a book in the rain. I would not wish to harm the book.”

image

“Being around Lady Miu is calming. But I find I also like the silence in Coerthas as the snow falls. Watching the flakes drift down from the skies above. Granted I could do without the bitter cold winds an such that tend to join the snow. But each flake is special. Watching them dance through the air as they drift down.” He sighs wistfully. “Though I do also miss the Coerthas of old. Before the never ending winter.”

Do they have any nervous habits? If they know, what made them start doing them?

“Nervous habits? Really?” She looks away and rubs the back of her neck. She finally looks at her nails before picking at them, finding a rough edge on one. “Why ever would you want to know about such a thing? Is this really necessary?”

(She has a tendency to deflect or ramble when nervous.)

image

“Nervous habits… I pace. A lot…” He shrugs his shoulders, hands raised slightly. “Or I have a habit of growing silent when nervous. To think a time when I actually have nothing to say!” He gives a warm laugh. “I am sure some people actually enjoy making me nervous in hopes I will shut my mouth for once.”

biotite: the biggest problems my muse is currently dealing with

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Oh joy. XD I’m answer this one OOC for Dest. Dest IC at this time would not be in any shape to discuss this. Lance’s will be IC.)

image

(Dest’s current biggest problem is complicated. Emotionally right now she is a damned mess this week. Friday’s mission and Leera just have her at a breaking point. She actually had a verbal confrontation with Felix and Dusk, who she considers friends and family among the Order. She was already sort of emotionally on edge before monday’s confrontation because of the mission. She found Leera outside the house an began to speak with him. Now Dest originally thought she could be friends with Leera. Then things happened to make her distrust an remain indifferent to him. Slowly though she has found herself drawn to him again despite what happened between them. She wants to see the good in him though he is technically a villain to a few members of the Order. Well Felix has shot Leera outside of the house before. Dest has sort of been trying to run interference between the two to try an avoid anymore public violence. Words were said and now Dest feels Felix dislikes her. *makes grabby hands* Nuuu! Not Dest’s drinking buddy! An she feels Dusk thinks she is nothing but a child. She went out searching for a friend in the South Shroud after the confrontation. She could not find Basteaux but did manage to get herself hurt. An because she is feeling so emotionally self destructive right now she hasn’t healed her sprained wrist. Leera however was enjoying every moment of Dest’s breakdown outside the house before he left. So now she has to try an decide where to go from here. How to move past this moment an if she can fix what has happened.)

image

“My biggest current problems are almost one and the same. Though not entirely either. They all revolve around family.” He explains as he paces about the room, the metal of his greaves echoing off the stone. “In order to protect my cousin I must lie to my family. To care about Miu, I must lie to my family. Either way I must lie to someone. It… It is complicated.”

What is your character’s happiest memory?

“My family. Happy and whole.” She says with a soft smile as she looks towards the corner of the room where her bow and quiver of arrows rests. “My father’s proud smiles. My mother’s tender touches. My brother’s grumpy retorts when I chased bullies away. There is not one particular memory in general.”

Her smile takes on a hint of sadness. “Sadly that family of memory is gone. But I never forgotten. My brother rarely speaks to us. My father is gone. All that remains is my mother and I. If anything the loss has brought us closer.”

image

“Being praised by Lord Chlodebaimt even though I was still a novice. His words and deeds are what drove me to keep pushing forward even through his loss.” He smiles proudly at the memory. “I thought I had done so poorly. Preformed every inch like a novice. An here the man walks over an puts a hand on my hanging head. His words… Gave me courage and strength.”

Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Not something I think either of my characters would answer willingly. So this answer is going to be OOC instead.)

image

(Destiney has only really told a few people in the Order about the way she reacts being near a Garlean base in Eorzea. It brings back that horrible day outside the Castrum. She can’t even bring herself to aim her bow at enemies that are people. Her hands shake an she finds herself freezing up. Her choices that day still haunt her. She’s gotten better but sometimes still finds herself struggling through it. Like the last mission was rough for her when they went to deal with bandits. She was nearly sick about the whole incident an spent most of her time hiding near Nathaniel.)

(And then there is the fact she hasn’t told anyone about when she’s really feeling low an emotionally broken she still has some self destructive tendencies. She’ll be reckless an get hurt then not bother to heal her own injuries despite being a healer. It is easy to tell when she is feeling that way because she will wear a half-mask styled after her father’s old service mask for the Gods’ Quiver. She wears it when she works in the Shroud but if she is wearing it beyond that… She’s not in a good place emotionally.)

image

(Lance is not in as bad of a place as Destiney. He is mostly an open book for the most part unless it is a secret in needing of being kept. I think his only deep dark secret is he is not willing to admit just how scared he is for his future. He is setting himself up for a fall from grace with his family. He has so little life experience beyond his time in service to Haillenarte and it leaves him worried. Whether the fall comes from protecting his cousin’s secrets or the woman he is falling in love with. He knows there is no way his family will approve of the woman he has fallen for. So between the two ladies he knows his fall is coming. It leaves him feel so very uncertain about where the future is going for himself.)

11 and 15

(I’m just answer 11 here since someone else also asked for 15. ^^/ So not ignoring it. Just might be best to leave it in a separate answer.)

image

She clenches her hands a moment before forcing them to relax. Her gaze looking out the nearby window as she takes a deep breath. A soft shake of her head.

“I struggled for so long.” A deep sigh as she looks down at her open hands. “With the consequences of the things I did when I left Ishgard after five years. I decided my vengeance for what the Garleans had taken from me was worth it. Only to learn how foolish I truly was. I was not ready for the nightmares that haunted me nor the fact I realized later that the people I killed… Should not have been punished for those that had killed my father. They had families and loved ones. I had done to them what had been done to me. I had continued the circle of hate an destruction.”

She walks over to the window an places her hands upon the windowsill. “I am not sure I will ever truly be over it. But… I have those I love and care about. They support me an keep me strong. With them… I can overcome anything. Maybe even this.”

image

“For days… I would not leave my room.” He sighs an looks uncomfortable as he crosses his arms over his chest. He gazes towards where his sword and shield rest on a nearby table. “I was so lost. I had been a novice when I joined the troops at Steel Vigil. To be one of those… To survive…”

He runs a hand over the red rose sigil upon the silver shield. “The man I admired and wanted to be most like gave his life for us. For us that survived. I was not sure where to turn or what steps to take as I wallowed in my misery. I lost myself for a time. My dreams haunted by the roars of dragons.”

He picks up the sword finally, raising before his face. He turns the blade so the edge is facing him as he stares past it. “Eventually I found myself once more. I pledged myself to a purpose. If I was going to idolize Lord Chlodebaimt… Then I could not, would not continue to mope about my room in Ishgard like some sort of child. I was a man an it was time I acted as such. I would do my best to see the family and country he loved so much safe. Help to restore the glory lost when Steel Vigil fell. I would honor that man in my own way.”
