Character Questions: THE TEST RUN
Hey everyone, it's Gish! I had a thought earlier this week about how much fun it is to fill out FORMS. Which is to say, filling out questionnaires and quizzes about your character(s). It was something that went around a lot more with the old LJ Nexus days and in a curious attempt to bring it back in a new way, I thought I'd try this!
Under the cut is a questionnaire about character basics. No one's required to fill this out, or even fill out ALL of it. This is just for funsies and a chance for all of us to talk and think a bit more about our characters.
Depending on how this goes, I might look into making this a regular thing on the OOC comm with different focuses and themes. Anyway, have at it! I look forward to reading any and all responses!

Nickname: None
Age: ??? (He doesn't know, as he has 'forgotten' a huge portion of his earlier life. He's lived somewhere in the realm of a century since that forgotten era.)

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Socioeconomic level as a child: N/A
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Upper class/Royalty

Hobbies/Pastimes: Magical/temporal research, collecting arcane artefacts,
CONQUEST AND AMASSING POWERTalents/Skills/Powers: Elemental mastery, illusions, arcane communication, crystallization, possession, shadowmeld, negative energy harnessing/manipulation, chaos energy. He can also eat an entire pizza in one sitting and bites fruits with the rinds still on.
Past History
Hometown: Mobotropolis
First Memory: Waking up inside a cave bored into the side of a mountain and feeling a great deal of searing pain.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: N/A
Why/How? He had no childhood.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: He's extremely secretive and sensitive, both out of shame and indignity, about his time spent being kept as another man's pet. It was the lowest of low points in his entire life and was a horrible insult on top of how he'd been mentally degraded into something feral by that same man.
Biggest role model: Himself
Why? No one's better than him!
Biggest challenge from childhood: Remembering it?
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5'3". TOWERING by Mobian standards, bitty by human's. This bothers him a lot more than he lets on.
Weight: 250 lbs. He's got a lot of muscle on him.
Posture: Shoulders straight and back, chest out, always looking very proud and walking with confidence.
Build: Short but stocky. EXTREMELY muscular. Biceps the size of your damn head. Sturdy and powerful.
Skin: Tan and hide-like
Hair: White (beard)
Eyes: Red
Describe their smile: Toothy, sharp and wide. A Cheshire cat's grin with far too many pointy teeth.
Tattoos/Scars? None
Glasses/Contacts? None
Left/Right handed? Right-handed. (Left-clawed.)
Distinguishing features: The ivory horn on his head, powerful thick tail, a crab claw in place of his left hand, massive bat ears, super long beard.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? He's very much like all three of his dads in various ways. Suguna's cunning, Agunus's stubbornness and Nusgau's wickedness.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Simple.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? He wears only a few colours (grey and purple) in different shades and never feels the need to dress elaborately unless it's for special occasions or official court business. The flashiest he gets in his day-to-day wear is the big cape he never goes without. He's a man of function over form.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: A lot of the same thing, over and over. He found a tailor and he knows what he likes.
Jewelry: Despite crystals and emeralds being very relevant to him, he goes without.
Other accessories: His grey belt and his gloves (also having to be custom-made to account for his claw. He's thrown away SO MANY left-handed gloves.)
Weapons: His chaos emerald staff is his go-to and he is NEVER without it. If he does have to leave it behind, it is heavily sealed and locked away. His elemental mastery as well is easily and readily weaponized, ranging from sharp rocks, ice storms, bursts of flame and even sucking air from the lungs of his adversaries. He's EXTREMELY dangerous and he knows it.
Health: He boasts a very robust immune system. He almost never gets sick. Add in his bodybuilding and he's obnoxiously fit.
Hygiene: He takes very good care of himself as well. Beard's always combed and shiny, teeth are brushed and picked, clothes clean. Despite his spartan aesthetics, he knows a man well put-together is all the easier to respect or fear.
Physical Flaws: NONE, HE WAS WONDERFULLY AND FEARFULLY MADE
Physical Qualities: Extremely strong! His hide is also remarkably durable.

Local Man Goes AwooNicolas CageNoneAge: 45
Sex: Male
Race: Human/Caucasian
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Socioeconomic level as a child: Upper middle class
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Upper middle class
Birth date: June 6th
Birth place: Yharnam
Current residence: The Nexus (homeless)
Occupation: None (homeless)
Title/Rank: Headmaster of Mensis (formerly), Host of the Nightmare (formerly), Professor (of Mensis and Bergynwerth)
Hobbies/Pastimes: Reading, dissection, science projects, astronomy, avoiding sleep
Talents/Skills/Powers: High Insight that allows him to perceive things supernatural and normally unseen. Able to conjure powerful tentacles from his own flesh. Able to conjure and collapse a small star for hugely destructive results. Outrageously resistant to things that induce madness or frenzy. Extremely intelligent overall and best at unconventional solutions and lines of thought; knowledgeable about all manner of eldritch matters and rituals. Able to run VERY FAST.
Past History
Hometown: Yahar'gul, the Unseen Village
First Memory: Lying in his bassinet, watching as glowing slug-like beings drifted through the air above him.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: When his brother told him that he didn't see the creatures he was pointing out and that he must be lying.
Why/How? Micolash realized that day that no one else could see the things he did. It spelled isolation and being ostracized in his younger years, but would go on to reassure him that he was exceptional as an adult.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: The time he was caught by a neighbour dissecting her cat. (He found it already dead.) It was the first time he'd heard an adult voice how distastefully STRANGE everyone found him to be.
The first time he saw an Amygdala crawling across the rooftops from his boyhood window against a red evening sky. It was terrifying and his first exposure to the Great Ones.
The time he became obsessed with reaching the 'other room' in the mirror. He was gripped by the desire to enter for an entire month and his family had to hide or give away every mirror they had in the house. This strange fixation would still flare up as he grew older, but never as badly as the first time.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: He'll never admit the Mensis Ritual went wrong, not even to himself.
Biggest role model: Provost Willem of Bergynwerth
Why? Attending the college of Bergynwerth was a life-changing event for Micolash, at last surrounded by people that felt and saw like he did. And none of it could have happened if it hadn't been for Master Willem's particular interest in the studying what they would come to know at the Great Ones. When Bergynwerth fell and was condemned as forbidden ground by the Healing Church, Micolash would go on to found another college in the provost's footsteps: The College of Mensis. One wholly committed to the man's greatest epiphany: We are thinking on the basest of planes. What we need, are more eyes.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Making friends and otherwise behaving in a socially acceptable way. He acted strangely and disturbed children and adults alike. Sometimes his own family was put off. It rarely bothered him, though.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'0".
Weight: 120 lbs.
Posture: Upright but wobbly. Deceptively well-balanced thanks to so long wearing a massive cage like he does.
Build: Extremely skinny from undernourishment and generally being a scholar first and foremost.
Skin: Wan. A very unhealthy shade of pale.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Light blue
Describe their smile: Uncertain and unpracticed. Always wobbly and sickly, as if unsure he's doing it right or just doing it very consciously. If he's gripped in academic excitement, it'll become a good deal more manic.
Tattoos/Scars? None
Glasses/Contacts? He sometimes needs reading glasses. He forgets where he puts them a lot and isn't super good about replacing them when he does.
Left/Right handed? Left-handed
Distinguishing features: Sickly complexion, wildly curly hair, extremely pale eyes, no eyebrows, his Mensis Cage.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? His mother. Despite being a confusing and difficult child, he was closer to her and she protective of him. His father really never understood his younger son.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Shabby but formal. Clothing is always tattered, scuffed, rumpled or threadbare.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? He prefers pinstripe slacks, a simple button-up, tweed waistcoats, his scholarly regalia cape and hood, a sleeveless coat on top of all that, and a tie or ribbon at his throat. And of course, his cage. Such was the school uniform back in Mensis.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Bigger coats for the cold, scarves, surgery scrubs, cage prototypes.
Jewelry: He used to have a pocketwatch but he
destroyed itlost it.Other accessories: Did I mention his cage? As another sidenote, his shoes are never tied.
Weapons: His first resort is always his augur (the tentacles.) Second is casting A Call Beyond (exploding star.) He's not afraid to punch someone with his skinny noodle arms either, but that's a last resort matter. He's pretty handy with a scalpel as well.
Health: Poor. He regularly neglects sleep, food and drink and it shows. His mental health is also in shambles in more ways than one can count.
Hygiene: Poor. One of the main functions of the Mensis Cage was forcing someone to neglect their own body. He was wearing his regularly even before he arrived to the Nightmare. As such, he's outright forgotten how to care for himself in the most basic ways.
Physical Flaws: His frail body is his biggest weakness. It can take a lot more punishment than it should be able to, but it's still pretty easy to knock over a paper-thin nerd in a heavy hat.
Physical Qualities: Despite it all, he runs SO fast. Also, there's something about his blood that has unusual qualities as well that sustains him.

As someone who is left-handed, it amuses me that Micolash is left-handed. It's always the weird ones!

Nickname: Fortyskey
Age: Originally ninteen when the Plague of Undeath hit, somewhere around thirty-something now. She doesn't bother to keep count anymore (Because she's dead, what's the fucking point?) Either way, she's eternally physically 19, thanks to the 'stasis' her undead status keeps her in.
Sex: Female. Identifies as thus.
Race: Originally human, now a Forsaken Undead
Sexual Orientation: Asexual, unknown-romantic mostly because she hasn't really cared enough to try.
Socioeconomic level as a child: Poor as fuck. Poor farm girl, crappy drunk father, so on, so forth. Life sucked. And then the Scourge hit.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Probably the WoW equivelent of lower-upper class. Not uber rich, but as an adventurer she ain't poor. Not having to buy food or many supplies to live helps.
Birth date: 19 years before the Third War. WoW timelines are fucked, man. We don't have proper years.
Birth place: Lordaeron
Current residence: Dalaran
Occupation: Adventurer. Destruction Warlock. Commands Fel Fire and summons demons for mostly profit. Also something of a Necromancer.
Title/Rank: Fortyskey possesses no formal rank, though she's managed to claw her way to some form of respectability. Even if the Orcs find her foul mouth hilarious.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Studying magic. Amassing power. Also a tailor (although in game she's an Engineer now, for the conveniences the profession provides)
Talents/Skills/Powers: A mastery over summoning various demons from the Twisting Nether, and maintaining some measure of control over them, along with the ability to control, create, and wield bright green fel fire. Fortyskey is also something of an amateur necromancer, having risen her pet cat from beyond the grave.
She's also a walking corpse. Fortyskey only needs to take a breath to actually speak, and she's immune to most poisons and lack of air as a result (although she obviously wouldn't be able to talk while underwater, or in a vacuum). She's more durable than her slight frame might suggest, and is capable of regenerating from most forms of damage if she can find suitable flesh and/or meat to consume to make up for the loss.
That said, it's not on the same ridiculous level as Death Knight regeneration and durability.
Past History
Hometown: Some spec on the map in Lordaeron, probably didn't even have a name.
First Memory: A vague memory of her mother before she died.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: It's not so much a *childhood* event, but being killed and raised by the Scourge war machine was pretty damn important.
Why/How? Because it literally made her what she is today.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: The Forsaken joining the horde. Etc.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: While it's not a secret, before she died, she was a lousy mage. Turns out her talents lied more in the darker, more corrupting magic.
Thanks Arthas!
Biggest role model: She used to practically worship Sylvanas, although now she doesn't really have one.
Why? Sylvanas freed the Undead from the Lich King's control, though her more recent actions come into Forty's question about everything--some of them being, you know. Rather LK like.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Her drunken asshole father.
Physical Characteristics
Height: Five foot three inches tall (around 1.6 meters)
Weight: I never decided an exact number for this but see below.
Posture: Kind of sloppy, like she's eternally tired, despite the fact she can't be.
Build: "90 pounds soaking wet", she's basically a stick and nearly boyish. Being dead hasn't really helped in any regard.
Skin: Pale, but fortunately largely intact. Smooth, matches her surrounding temperature, and has kind of a clammy feel to it if you touch her.
Hair: Black, straight, mildly unkempt
Eyes: used to be blue, now glow with an eerie-ass yellow glow. Sometimes taking on a more greenish hue when sufficiently angered, or throwing around enough fel power to make a few demons jealous.
Describe their smile: Forty rarely smiles in social situations, although it's toothy and broad when she does.
Tattoos/Scars? None
Glasses/Contacts? Funnily enough she needed glasses when she was alive. This was one benefit she gained when she died: She doesn't anymore.
Left/Right handed? Right-hand dominant.
Distinguishing features: Well, she's dead for one. Pale skin and glowing eyes tend to give that away, along with the fact that she's skinny as hell, and short.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Don't say it to her face, but her personality matches her father the most. Physically she mostly resembles her mother.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Somewhere in the middle, well taken care of clothing, but not overtly elegant.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Loose robes, usually.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Forty does, on occasion, wear trousers and shirts, but it's rare.
Jewelry: None
Other accessories: N/a
Weapons: It's probably best not to ask how, or especially why, but she seems to have gotten her skinny dead hands on an interesting, peculiar staff that can rip fel and shadow spewing holes in reality. Uh. Somebody should probably do something about that.
There's also usually a dagger somewhere on her person as well.
Health: She's dead and scrawny. When she was alive, she was a bit underfed, and not really athletic.
Hygiene: And yet, she keeps herself clean. Probably in some effort to maintain normalcy, and to prevent any smell of undeath from lingering too long.
Physical Flaws: She's not athletic, even as a walking corpse, and a good solid hit will knock her down (and anything of any decent size will send her flying)
Physical Qualities: She's remarkably durable, despite her small frame, and doesn't get tired. Her short stature and skinny body also allow her to fit into relatively small spaces if she needs to hide or lay low.
no subject
Also, why DOES she swear so much? Was that a living or unliving habit? And has anyone told her yet to maybe cool it.

Nickname: Adora
Age: Look, going on the subject of fucked WoW timelines, I don't even fucking know, man. Draenei lives are uber, ridiculously long. That said, by their standards she's definitely fairly young, having been born on Draenor before, it, y'know. Fucking exploded.
Sex: Female, identifies as such.
Race: Draenei. Though now she's an Undead Spacegoat Terminator. Or a Death Knight, as they're more commonly known.
Sexual Orientation: Originally straight. Doesn't even know now. If it existed on Azeroth, she'd probably pick "It's Complicated" on Facebook.
Socioeconomic level as a child: Probably whatever middle class Draenei had. Who knows? We don't, because we don't have that much lore on how life on Draenor was before.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Still middle class. She could make more money if she wanted, but truthfully, she doesn't really bother.
Birth date: [divide by fish error]
Birth place: Draenor
Current residence: Insomuch that it can be called her "home", she returns to Ebon Hold every so often. But honestly she's just an eternal wanderer these days.
Occupation: Death Knight, Adventurer. Wanderer. Blacksmith.
Title/Rank: Adora possesses no rank.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Despite being essentially a jock, she does enjoy reading as a past time.
Talents/Skills/Powers:
So this bit's gonna get long and I'm sorry.
So, Adora's basically a hybrid of a blood death knight, and an unholy death knight. For all points and purposes, she can be basically unstoppable by most conventional means (exempting, obviously, offensive holy magic) if she puts her mind to it and is pointed in a direction of those deserving of *meeting* said unstoppable force.
As such, as an offensive power, she absorbs life energy and vitality from her enemies to empower herself and recover from most forms of damage, in addition to being utterly, ridiculously durable, she's strong as hell, wielding a large two-handed runeblade that is one of the sources of many of her powers (As separating her from it can render some of them ineffective to less effective, particularly the offensive ones).
Her unholy powers include communing with the Dead, raising them with ease and Commanding the lesser undead with even more ease.
Adora's grandmother, see, was a Soulpriest.
Because of this? Latent powers emerged when she was raised into a weapon for the Scourge. She speaks, and the Lesser Dead Listens. Ghouls, spirits, and anything that doesn't have enough real sentience to resist.
Even then, some of those with sentience might still Feel the Command, even if they're capable of resisting it.
On the flip side, Adora, formally as spiritual and magically inclined as a very mundane brick (seriously, she was a sword/board warrior in life), can now hear the Spirits of the dead as well. Particularly if they're distressed or have a Need to communicate for some reason.
Past History
Hometown: Probably Shattrath or somewhere outside it. We don't really know how long the Draenei had settled on Draenor.
First Memory: A song sung to her when she was young.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Her inability to summon or command the Light, or be skilled in any magical ability.
Why/How? As such, it lead her down the path to be a Warrior.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: While the Destruction of Draenor's the obvious one, Adora's death is a much more personal one. She died while in service to the Argent Crusade in Icecrown, giving her allies time to escape.
Unfortunately, it was futile. She was risen by Scourge necromancers, transformed into an undead killing machine, and unleashed on the very allies she sought to sacrifice herself for.
They didn't stand a chance.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: The bit mentioned above.
Biggest role model: The Draenei themselves. The Naaru.
Why? It's what she's been raised to believe. If the Light's path for her is to fight for the Light from the Darkness, then so be it. She'll turn these dark powers onto the enemies of it.
Especially the Legion. Never again.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Her lack of affinity for anything magical made it... difficult, in a heavily magical, Light driven society. She wasn't a Vindicator, like her father, or a priestess, like her mother.
Physical Characteristics
Height: She's a tall drink of water at seven-foot-two.
Weight: I'm never good at judging weight, let's be honest here.
Posture: Straight and tall, almost commanding.
Build: She's not only tall, but she's fucking muscled. She's a goddamn tank.
Skin: Pale white, scarred here and there.
Hair: Black.
Eyes: Glowing ice blue. Originally white.
Describe their smile: Bright and cheerful as all hell.
Tattoos/Scars? No tattoos, but she's got a number of battle scars. But the worst is the one on her back, from when she died.
Glasses/Contacts? Nope.
Left/Right handed? Right handed.
Distinguishing features: She's a Draenei, but compared to her own species is her utterly pale skin and the blue glow to her eyes. Along with the eerie undead echo to her voice.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Closest to her father, as despite her lack of Light, she certainly took after him in the physical aspects.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Well-kept.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Honestly, she's almost always in her blue-black Death Knight Armor.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Loose fitting clothing, up to and including the occasional dress.
Jewelry: A few rings on her tail.
Other accessories: n/a
Weapons: Adora's only and primary weapon is her Runeblade. A long broadsword with six runes carved into the flat of the blade on both sides.
This weapon is tied to her soul, and as such, she always know where it is in relation to herself in a vague sense. While she might not know it's in, say, a storage locker on the second level of a building, she knows it's north of her current position, and an elevation higher than she is.
While sharing her apparent durability, destroying or damaging the blade (particularly with offensive Light or Holy magic) can harm Adora, regardless of the distance between her and the weapon.
In addition, separating her from the weapon robs her of many of her directly offensive powers and lifestealing capability. She can still raise the dead, and Command them, and she's a seven foot Draenei with the strength to match.
Health: While she's undead, she's in much better shape than a Forsaken. For all points and purposes, she's a Death Knight, a perfected form of Undead, with ridiculous regenerative powers.
Hygiene: She keeps herself clean, but isn't afraid of getting dirty.
Physical Flaws: For all her strength and power? She's not fast. Adora possesses no ability to enhance her speed, and she makes for a large, easy to hit target (though to be honest, she's not exactly hiding herself).
Physical Qualities: She's seven feet tall with the raw strength to match her height, along with a reach that's like five miles long because of it. She's large, weighty, and difficult to move unless she wants to be moved.

Nickname: None
Age: 200 (Years?)
Sex: [REDACTED]
Race: Eyeless Demon
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Socioeconomic level as a child: Hell Class
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Upper-Hell Class
Birth date: Emerged during the Underworld New Year
Birth place: Hell/The Underworld
Current residence: Temple of the High Priests, Hell
Occupation: Sacred Lover of the Demon Lords
Title/Rank: High Priest-Betrothed
Hobbies/Pastimes: Traveling, Mortal-Watching, Swimming/Bathing, Goofing Off
Talents/Skills/Powers: Psychic mastery (telepathy, telekinesis, empathy, able to enter dreams/mindscapes), healing (dark and neutral-aligned), invisibility, teleportation, magicked barriers (dark aligned), able to bestow blessings through the proper 'ritual'. Super good at these 'rituals'. Can commune with his religion's deities, the 7 Demon Lords.
Past History
Hometown: Nursery Hive 50, Hell
First Memory: Being held by his caretakers as they coo over him, remembering their colourful robes against a drab hellscape.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Learning the tragic history of his people through lecture and recorded texts/illustrations.
Why/How? This is his first knowledge of the upper realms, namely the Mortal Realm, home to humans, elves, and so on, but also of Paradise above it, home to Heavenly Ones always in opposition to Demonkind. Important, as Abysa is of an era following a massive war, learning that his people are cursed, and that only small populations of Eyeless Demons remain, remnants of a formerly prospering Dark Kingdom. He is taught the lesson that Light will always triumph over Dark, and that mortals will always prevail against demonkind. It is his first brush with deep, existential fear.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Being taught about his predecessor, the previous High Priest Terevra, who was grandiose, charismatic, beautiful, ambitious and powerful. Abysa finds himself under the shadow of such an influential figure, with the masses unwilling to accept him as a successor, and even the Demon Lords themselves reluctant to take another Sacred Lover after Terevra's unfortunate death.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Failed in a huge way that resulted in his death and a Lord's death. Even as immortal beings it was just a horrible time all-around.
Biggest role model: Unsurprising, his Caregivers while living at the Nursery.
Why? The amount of planning, resourcefulness, compassion and intellect that goes into maintaining what is essentially a baby factory/DNA storage facility is incredible work, especially since much of the technology of that age has been destroyed. Also, Abysa does not know his parent donors, so they were also his family.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Trying to find his place in demon society was difficult at first. He had no particular ambitions or desires, and is still unusually unagressive and mild for a demon. Compared to other children from the same generation, he seemed to be the 'runt'.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 8'2" OR 250ish centimetres
Weight: 240 lbs. or 180ish kilograms
Posture: Upright posture. Quite proper.
Build: A sort of generic, idealized 'thin' build.
Skin: Cool grey, often blushes or bruises bluishly.
Hair: His body is entirely hairless, but he does have two slightly-malleable horns that sweep back from his brow.
Eyes: None (He is an Eyeless Demon, you know)
Describe their smile: A soft and cheerful smile that can curl into a more mischevious smirk, or widen into a toothy grin that bares his sharp teeth.
Tattoos/Scars? In place of an upper half of a face, his species instead have a flat plane that bears natural markings that differ for each individual. Markings can change gradually and become more elaborate with time.
Glasses/Contacts? No need for those, but blindfolds and headwraps are common traditional clothing items.
Left/Right handed? Ambi-dextrous. Abysa will sometimes switch between right and left, or have trouble picking a hand when using an item for the first time.
Distinguishing features: In addition to being tall, his body has elongated proportions, with a long neck, long limbs and digits, and so on. Also, he has a tail! Also, his feet have three toes.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Abysa knows neither parent, but expresses a harmonious balance between their traits.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): It is rare for him to request or acquire new clothes, often wearing current vestements until they are faded and tattered from travel and time. In ideal condition, he has a preference for simplicity and elegant, flowing styles.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Abysa is nearly always seen in some form of demon priest's attire. Thin robes layered over each other, with a long underskirt and a hooded capelet are the common style. Colours are generally dark purples, blues, greens, and greys with bright red, silver or purple accents.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: He might be in possession of some more sultry attire, but such items would be for special occassions and rituals.
Jewelry: By default, he does not wear any jewelry. He will wear heaps of precious metals, bone and jewels for traditional functions only.
Other accessories: At most, one might see him with a grimoire for study, or a simple cloth or leather pack for carrying medicine and reagents. Still. he IS getting rather fond of a plastic pink ball-point pen that has glitter water in a tube inside.
Weapons: None.
Health: He is in good health, sometimes in health so good, he can only be under some sort of positive enchantment or blessing.
Hygiene: While not very intent on 'prettying up', he keeps good hygiene. He takes baths often, washes his clothes regularly, is sure to clean his teeth, and his nails are maintained regularly.
Physical Flaws: Back home, he is known for being quite plain-looking. Perhaps not flawed so much as not interested in being hardy and physically fit as he COULD be.
Physical Qualities: His skin is thicker than human skin, and pigmentation is more opaque. He bleeds black blood, but when dried or thinned appears to be a wine-red hue.
no subject
Does he ever wear jewelry or dress up his horns or are they always covered up with the hood/wrappings? And what does a NOT plain eyeless demon even look like? Or are they all kinda bland as far as demonkind goes.

Nickname: Del
Age: 36, a character of mine with an actual, established age! A shock.
Sex: Female. This is also the gender with which she identifies.
Race: Orion. aka green skinned space babe.
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual as the day is long. She does have a preference for humanoids, but she keeps a fairly open mind.

Title/Rank: She insists it's simply "Captain", but the records show she actually holds the rank of General, granted to her for distinction in defense of the Klingons' homeworld when it was attacked.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Most of Delia's hobbies are surprisingly mundane: She enjoys physical activity, hiking, the like. But she'd just as easy spend a day lounging on a beach with a trashy as hell romance novel. She also collects various weapons from different cultures.
Talents/Skills/Powers: Athletically, she's a bit above average for a woman of her size and build, and she possesses no special powers aside from her pheromones.
Said Pheromones: Delia has conscious control over how powerful the effect is by controlling how much of them she releases at once. There's always a level of 'passive' release though, that most can feel if they come into direct contact with her.
Basically: They make anyone who's attracted to her at least somewhat suggestible, and in heavy enough doses, can act as an aphrodisiac.
Skills wise: She's trained in using rifles and pistols as weapons, although the key differences are that they're the sci-fi sort. Energy weapons with next to no kickback.

Hometown: An old K-7 station, but she hasn't really had an attachment to it.
First Memory: Something about her large family.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: I won't lie, I'm having trouble thinking of this one.

Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Comfortable, loose, flowing, flattering.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Delia's clothing is usually loose and flowing, flattering, comfortable, and made of light fabrics. If she can get away with it, she rarely wears shoes.

no subject
Nickname: ...OOC, I call her Iphi, but her family always called her by her full name.
Age: 20 going on nothing, because she's dead, wah wah wah.
Sex: female
Race: uh, ancient Greek? White? I guess?
Sexual Orientation: Bi but uh, she doesn't know it, hahaha this is fun. There's a lot of kinda...semi-homoerotic subtext that people (read: Tumblr) have read into Artemis and Iphigenia's relationship.
Socioeconomic level as a child: Royalty.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: (Dead) Royalty.
Birth date: I like to position her birthday sometime in November. I'm terrible at assigning dates, though.
Birth place: Mycenae.
Current residence: The Nexus, for ~all eternity~.
Occupation: ...Princess? There's another play by Euripides that kinda retcons her death (lol it's like fanfic ~before its time~) that has Iphigenia being a priestess to Artemis, so I'd love to kinda explore that in-game.
Title/Rank: Uh, sad dead princess? IDK.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Singing, dancing, reading history (why do you torture yourself, Iphi?), weaving, generally looking cute.
Talents/Skills/Powers: She's a human that's good at being brave when it matters, I guess.
Past History

Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: When her father told her about all the (supposed) barbarians that are ~at the gate~ and going to destroy the Achaeans, aka the Greeks. This is literally headcanon I stole from a playwright who adapted her play a few years ago, lol.
Why/How? I think this really made her aware of a world outside of her happy little citadel, and tbh in headcanon, it's part of the reason why she chooses to willingly put her life on the line, so to speak.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how:
-- Her sister Electra being born
-- Her brother Orestes being born (maybe she just adores babies, okay?!)
-- Aulis and the sacrifice, etc etc (for obvious reasons)
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: I...dunno? Ugh, idk. Sometimes I think that now she's in the Nexus, she's embarrassed/ashamed about Aulis/choosing the sacrifice willingly.
Biggest role model: Her mommy :3
Why? Because Clytemnestra was a bad bitch, that's why. No, I think it's because her momma was very, well, for a lack of a better word, feminist before her time, and Iphigenia admires that.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Being the oldest and having more ~responsibility~, bawww.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5'1".
Weight: She's thin.
Posture: Um, she's a princess. She has impeccable posture.
Build: Thin, like a dancer.
Skin: On the pale side, but she can tan.

Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Her father.

Jewelry: HELL YEAH SHE HAS JEWELRY. Look, Iphigenia is blinged out. Heavy necklaces, shiny-ass earrings, jingly bracelets, etc etc.

Past History
Hometown: Anvil, Cyrodiil
First Memory: First somewhat solid memory is the day Thalia Greyjoy took him in, has bits and pieces before that which he assumes are his time in the refugee caravan
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Getting adopted is the obvious one. The other biggest thing was probably discovering his affinity for Destruction magic
Why/How? It spurred Thalia to get him training from the local mage's guild, and his mentor there to eventually sponsor him into the College of Whispers - which became his ticket out of Anvil
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Being told that boys/men couldn't serve as priests of Dibella; it kind of killed his childhood dream
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Don't know if it counts as a failure per se, but he got into a lot of fights with people who looked down on his mom and aunties or made fun of his poorness
Biggest role model: Tie between his mom and the Divine Crusader
Why? His mom because she's a hell of a lady and did everything she could to give him a decent childhood; Divine Crusader because he was raised in the Great Chapel of Dibella and the dude's kind of important to all of them there (see Knights of the Nine for further details)

How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Sturdy boots, utilitarian pants and shirts under leather armor, a few pieces of handy enchanted jewelry

Race: Force Sensitive Human
Sexual Orientation: Kind of bi-curious, but mostly straight
Socioeconomic level as a child: Lower lower class, she was the child of smugglers, captured by pirates, and sold into slavery.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: It was pretty decent. Being a Sith, even an apprentice, pays pretty well. But since leaving the Empire, her accounts have been frozen, assets seized. So. Still poor, even though she's now a mercenary and bounty hunter.

Hobbies/Pastimes: Dia has a passing interest in history and studies it out of curiosity.
Talents/Skills/Powers:
Dia is a Force user, capable of manipulating the Force as telekinetic powers, and various extrasensory abilities. She's also trained to be stealthy as hell, and to compartmentalize her emotions, in contrast to other Sith who let their passions run freely and almost explosively.
As such, she's an incredibly effective assassin.
Dia is also capable of getting through ancient Sith temples, disarming traps and so forth.
And finally: Thanks to the Force, and a number of bits of her training, Dia is capable of doing incredible feats of athleticism, jumping, flipping, et cetera.
Past History
Hometown: Some run down place in the depths of Nar Shadda
First Memory: Something about an older sister...
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The death of her parents, and subsequent capture by pirates.
Why/How? Because when they discovered how difficult she was to control, they sold the young force sensitive girl who killed their Captain to the Empire.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Dia has been trained in the methods and arts of the Sith, and unfortunately, has a bad habit of falling back onto old training and destructive Force weilding habits when sufficiently angry or afraid.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why:
Biggest role model: She doesn't really have one
Why? --
Biggest challenge from childhood: Finding the pirates that started all this shit.

Distinguishing features: --
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Neither, honestly.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Well kept and functional
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Loose, black robes are her typical fare. Although she has some gray ones for warmer weather. Dia's clothing
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Winter clothing. Heavy coats, boots, et cetera. Dressier clothing as well for when its necessary.
Jewelry: Dia wears earrings, owns several necklaces and the like. Although she rarely wears anything beyond the earrings.
Other accessories: --

Health: She's fairly healthy, and obviously excersizes regularly.
Hygiene: And by god she showers. All the time.
Physical Flaws: Dia's hands have been replaced with mechanical ones. She wears black leather gloves over them to hide this fact.

no subject
Nickname: not him specifically, but I like when the Ethereals are called space mummies.
Age: Very yes. (a couple thousand years, at least.)

Birth date: I don't think even he remembers.
Birth place: K'aresh
Current residence: the Nexus
Occupation: interdimensional arms merchant
Title/Rank: fun fact, he's one of the few independent Ethereals.
Hobbies/Pastimes: networking, reading trade publications, organizing his desk
Talents/Skills/Powers: Xevozz can draw arcane energy from the air to perform a number of offensive maneuvers, like shooting arcane missiles and creating exploding energy spheres. He is also familiar with a number of weapons, but that's more for selling purposes. He has access to a "void storage" that allows him to pull things out of the space he occupies, or put them back. He is also a crafty businessman, relying on clever schemes rather than brute force to get his way.
Past History
Hometown: K'aresh was an arid planet but had a rich ecosystem. He grew up in a medium-sized village near the desert.
First Memory: Watching a royal procession with his family.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: His family business getting audited.
Why/How? They were audited because of a political disagreement with the local prince. It really crushed the spirits of his parents, and he swore he'd never be beholden to anyone once he was an adult.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Void Lord Dimensius the All-Devouring coming along and destroying his planet and everyone on it who didn't manage to be turned into beings of energy thanks to some quick-thinking mages. That'll stick with a guy.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Getting his ass kicked seven ways to Sunday every time he tried to escape the Violet Hold (a prison in Dalaran). It took many, many attempts before he was able to escape.
Biggest role model: if Gordon Gekko was a real person on Azeroth, that would be his role model.
Why? Because greed is good.
Biggest challenge from childhood: trying to become as successful as possible without kowtowing to authority.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'3"
Weight: ???
Posture: he has great posture.
Build: a swimmer's build. Broad shoulders, tiny waist. When he's wrapped in his enchanted bandages, anyway. Otherwise he's an energy blob.
Skin: violet (although it's not really skin)
Hair: none
Eyes: none!
Describe their smile: well, he doesn't have a mouth. but you can definitely hear it in his voice when he smiles, and it's a smile that you could cut yourself with.
Tattoos/Scars? no
Glasses/Contacts? haha, no
Left/Right handed? right-handed
Distinguishing features: from other Ethereals? Not really.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father?
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Xevozz dresses to impress. His conjuror's robes are made from the highest quality fabrics and are cut to flow gracefully when he walks.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? his conjuror's robes, and his enchanted wrappings underneath that.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: he probably has a suit in there, too.
Jewelry: none
Other accessories: shoulder guard and gauntlets. And he never goes anywhere without his business cards.
Weapons: none, usually. he doesn't need them.
Health: for an Ethereal? fantastic.
Hygiene: it's irrelevant for his "body", but he keeps his robes immaculate.
Physical Flaws: he's not immune to physical damage, despite his incorporeal form. Because he's essentially made of arcane energy, someone could "disrupt" him if they found the right spell.
Physical Qualities: dat voice

Nickname:Jim, Jimbo, Captain Perfect Hair, Jimmy. But seriously he prefers to be called Jim.
Age: 28 currently
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual. Jim doesn't tend to let something as trivial as gender get between him and a good time. He does seem to have a predilection toward aliens, though he is currently technically still in a monogamous relationship with a human, although not one from his world. I say technically because poor Jim doesn't know what the status of his relationship is right now.
Spacebook doesn't make a relationship status called "Tried to strangle me in my sleep" so "It's complicated" will have to do.
Socioeconomic level as a child: Oh boy. This is a tricky thing to answer. Technically he was upper middle class.
Socioeconomic level as an adult:Upper middle class. His rank affords him a lot of things but he spends all his time on the ship when possible.
Birth date:January 4, 2233 (stardate 2233.04)
Birth place:Medical shuttle 37, space
Current residence: Uncharted space in the milky way galaxy aboard the Enterprise. Owns the family house in Riverside, Iowa.
Occupation: Starfleet -- Command route
Title/Rank: Captain
Hobbies/Pastimes: Rock climbing, horseback riding, motorcycling, chess, dom jot, boxing, clubbing, flirting.
Jim likes to stay physically active in his free time since much of his day on duty is spent sitting in The Chair and doing paperwork. Tends to stretch his free time as far as he can, too. Sleep is overrated.
Talents/Skills/Powers: Quick on his feet, charismatic leader. Has a somewhat heightened ability to recover from injury thanks to the blood transfusion he received from Khan when he was dying.
Past History Okay, take a seat. This might take a while.
Jim was raised in Riverside, Iowa after his father passed away. His older brother Sam looked after him because Jim's mother spent a lot of time off planet for her job in an effort to make sure her sons were never left wanting for anything. They technically had a step-father named Frank, but he was overbearing and authoritative and often abused Sam and Jim.
Eventually Sam couldn't take it anymore and ran away from home, leaving Jim alone to face Frank. When his mother found out, she moved Jim out to a rim colony on Tarsus IV to live with his aunt rather than deal with the trial and divorce proceedings. This worked out well until Tarsus IV faced a crisis and food shortage that led to mass deaths via starvation and eugenics beliefs set into law by the leader of the colony.
Jim survived the anarchy that was Tarsus IV and was brought back to Earth as a young teenager and slowly he recovered. During this time he was arrested for petty theft several times as the urge to steal and hoard food hadn't left from Tarsus, even though he was no longer going hungry. He still graduated at the top of his class despite being a troublemaker, and scored in the highest percentile in the standardized tests that Starfleet looks at when recruiting. That was how Then-Captain Pike became aware of James Kirk.
Hometown: Riverside, Iowa
First Memory: His mother crying and walking out from his fourth birthday party.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Sam abandoning him.
Why/How? That was the first time Jim had a tangible experience to put to a chronic isolation he's faced his entire young life. Abandonment issues started before, but cemented themselves as a major character flaw here.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Mind melding with Spock Prime during the Nero invasion. He was able to feel the bonds Spock talked about between himself and his crew in Spock Prime's world and wanted to be the sort of person who could have that, too.
A certain Halloween party.... ;)
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Jim doesn't speak about his past. Any of it. He's ashamed of the boy in the shadow of his father he grew up as and still struggling to find his own way.
Biggest role model: His late father George Kirk, the late Admiral Pike
Why?The father he never knew and the man who became his surrogate father figure when he enlisted in Starfleet.
Biggest challenge from childhood: His recovery after Tarsus IV was long and difficult. He developed a host of allergies to foods and medicine on top of those that he was born with. These have stuck with him through the present.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'
Weight: 160lbs
Posture: Military most often, but much more casual when off duty.
Build: Fit. Jim doesn't have the genetics to get buff, even if he wanted to. He's trim and fit thanks to a very strict exercise regimen but no matter how many crunches he does he'll never have that rock hard six pack.
Skin: Caucasian
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Holy shit have you not seen how blue they are? They are crazy blue.
Describe their smile: Jim has several smiles, but the most common two are broken down to his 'Captain' smile and his 'Jim' smile. One cool and confident, the other bright as sunshine.
Tattoos/Scars? No physical scars, just emotional ones.
Glasses/Contacts? No
Left/Right handed? Right handed
Distinguishing features: Besides his eyes, his stubborn determination and tendency to leap before he looks are his most prominent attributes.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? He's a spitting image of his father.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Charming
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Starfleet command golds.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: A pair of worn jeans, teeshirt, and leather jacket make up his civilian garb. He also has a dress uniform and a goldenrod colored tunic with deep dark brown pants for when he's in Tamriel.
Jewelry: None, typically
YetOther accessories: His comm and Nexus-phone equipped with a PINpoint device.
Weapons:Starfleet standard issue phaser. He's got limited experience in a few other weapons but is most comfortable in a brawl like you'd get into in a bar.
Health: Despite all his allergies, good. He can thank Dr. McCoy for that.
Hygiene: Extremely clean. Jim's a vain man and he takes good care of himself so long as that doesn't mean going to get a checkup.
Physical Flaws: Allergies, the genetic tendency to age into William Shatner no matter how hard he fights it.
Physical Qualities: Those eyes son.

Nickname: Jim
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual. Jim cares not what species or gender his partners are.
Socioeconomic level as a child: Not entirely applicable. Jim's Earth is not a primarily capitalist one. Equivalent living conditions/household income would put him about middle class ish.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Roughly the same.
Birth date: 2233.4, or January 4, 2233
Birth place: Medical shuttle 37, in deep space near Romulan territory.
Current residence: At this exact moment, he's living in Riverside while the Enterprise is finishing up her repairs. He had an apartment in San Francisco but it got destroyed.
Occupation: Commanding officer of the USS Enterprise
Title/Rank: Captain
Hobbies/Pastimes: Reading, chess, mixed martial arts, boxing, distance running, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, rock climbing, cooking, gardening. He can also play guitar and violin, but doesn't currently own an instrument.
Talents/Skills/Powers: Excellent memory retention, tactical analysis, excels in survival skills, both contemporary and archaic. He also received a specialized vaccine from another universe that protects him against most infections and diseases both at home and in the multiverse. As a side effect, it takes a lot to get him drunk now.
Past History
Hometown: Riverside, Iowa
First Memory: Waiting in vain for his mother to return home on his fifth birthday.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The massacre at Tarsus IV, when he was thirteen years old.
Why/How? The agricultural colony was hit hard by a fungus that destroyed the food supply and led to a fierce famine. Four thousand colonists, half the population, were selected for execution, and Jim was on the list. He escaped by pretending to be dead until he could sneak away, and managed to survive for several months until the rescue ships arrived, evading notice and damn near starving to death. To this day, Jim has severe issues with food anxiety, and hoards rations in his quarters. He has trouble refusing any food or water offered to him, even if it's something he doesn't like, especially if it would otherwise go to waste. He also has a strong drive to be as fit as possible, for survival reasons.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: The mindmeld with Spock Prime left unintentional echoes of the Vulcan's memories in his own mind, and some secondhand memory echoes from those Spock melded with in the past, including Kirk Prime.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Most of them. Jim is not proud of his criminal record and is coming to view his lack of formalized schooling after age thirteen as a failing of his.
Biggest role model: Admiral Pike, now deceased.
Why? The man was the first person to actually challenge Jim Kirk on his own merits, and dared him to do better than his father did. Pike was Jim's mentor and adviser throughout his Academy days, and the year afterward when Jim took command of the Enterprise in Pike's place.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Just plain survival, first on Tarsus IV, and then after he ran away from home after recovering.
Physical Characteristics
Height: Six foot even.
Weight: Around 170 lbs or so.
Posture: He's pretty much always got decent posture, though he's more casual when off-duty.
Build: Decently muscled, like an athlete in endurance sports. He's neither stocky nor lean.
Skin: Caucasian
Hair: Blond, tends to stick up a bit when it's short, gets kinda wavy when grown out.
Eyes: Insanely blue.
Describe their smile: His real smile is quiet and fond, not usually seen outside of interaction with close friends. He also has a charming smile he reserves for anything requiring diplomacy, or getting along with others he doesn't know terribly well.
Tattoos/Scars? No tattoos, but he does have a handful of very old scars in various locations on his body, mostly around his hands and forearms. He has a recent surgical scar running parallel to his lower spine.
Glasses/Contacts? None, although he does have a genetic predisposition towards farsightedness that'll kick in as he ages.
Left/Right handed? Right handed
Distinguishing features: Wicked thick eyebrows and bright blue eyes.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Mostly his father, though he has his mother's nose and her temper.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Casual and comfortable, wouldn't look out of place at a nice club.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? More often than not, his shipboard command gold uniform. While he's temporarily teaching at the Academy, he wears the charcoal instructor's uniform instead.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: His preferred civilian outfits are pretty basic, usually pants and a T-shirt with a leather jacket. He generally prefers outfits that go well with a jacket of some kind.
Jewelry: A copper bracelet with subtle roses engraved on it. He only wears it when he's in civvies.
Other accessories: He's always carrying his Starfleet-issue communicator, which has a PINpoint attachment now.
Weapons: Besides his phaser, which he may or may not be carrying at any given moment, he never goes anywhere without a knife tucked into his boot against his ankle. Sulu's also teaching him a bit about fencing.
Health: Pretty damn good, all things considered. He's recovered well from being hospitalized several months back.
Hygiene: Very clean, showers daily, keeps his new beard trimmed to comply with regulations.
Physical Flaws: He has some medical allergies that can be pretty severe.
Physical Qualities: Besides the stunning good looks, he's decently strong for a human his age and size.

Nickname: Kacchan, Big Suou, Pansy,
SpankyAge: currently 31
Sex: Male
Race: Japanese
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Socioeconomic level as a child: About middle class. He had a very average upbringing.
Socioeconomic level as an adult: About the same
Birth date: Dec. 30th, 1974 but the date is a bit sketchy since he hails from an alternate universe that was created when another version of his younger brother failed to save their world.
Birth place: Sumaru, Japan
Current residence: Still living in Sumaru
Occupation: Detective in violent crimes department of Sumaru PD, Co-owner and baker of Crossroads Cafe in the Nexus
Title/Rank: Sergeant
Hobbies/Pastimes: His passion for baking and pastry work is now a second job to him so apart from that, he's skilled at the acoustic guitar. Prefers to play flamenco music. He learned so he could help teach his little brother how to play the guitar as well and found he rather enjoyed it. Also enjoys crossword puzzles, history, and keeps a keen eye on the fashion trends of his world.
Talents/Skills/Powers:While not naturally gifted with superior intellect or talent, what sets Katsuya apart from other officers is his work ethic and ability to endure any obstacle between him and the solution to a case.
Due to getting caught up an a plight to stave off the end of the world, he also has the ability to summon a Persona. This manifestation of Justice and his will takes the form of a Victorian dressed catlike creature with a pistol and an affinity for fire. When channeling Helios, Katsuya can withstand normally lethal physical attacks (including gunshots) with only minimal damage and possesses abnormally high strength. Cannot be harmed by fire.
These abilities are gone when he is not channeling his Persona. Through years of mastering his skills he's finally begun to use Helios in more subtle ways than just brute strength and raining fire down on enemies. As the least magic able of his comrades, however, his skills are a bit lacking compared to theirs.
Past History
Hometown: A small house in the Rengedai district of Sumaru. His family moved further into the city after his mother passed away and his father was framed for corruption and arrested.
First Memory: Sitting on his father's knee while he read the newspaper aloud to Katsuya.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The death of his mother when he was ten.
Why/How? It was the moment his childhood ended. He began raising his little brother from that moment on in her place while their father continued working for the police.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Tatsuya's sixth birthday. He exclaimed that he loved the food Katsuya had made. Katsuya was so proud he ended up throwing all of his time into cooking and baking.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Not standing up for himself when he was in high school. He had a full scholarship to a culinary school overseas but when his father proudly asked him when he was going to take his entrance exams for the police academy, Katsuya didn't try to pursue his dreams.
He's been a bit strict with his younger brother in the past because Tatsuya seems so aimless. Katsuya doesn't want him to end up settling like he did. But he realizes it's a bit hypocritical because he didn't even try, really, when he was his brother's age.
Biggest role model: His father
Why? Masayori Suou believed in upholding the law and protecting the people of Sumaru. He worked tirelessly to rid the community of violent offenders. When he was framed and arrested for corruption Katsuya became bound and determined to clear his father's name.
Biggest challenge from childhood: Katsuya's always been a quiet sort and had a difficulty making friends when he was young.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 143 lbs
Posture: Rigid, extremely professional
Build: Slim
Skin: Pale for his race
Hair: Dark auburn
Eyes: Brown
Describe their smile: Rare, but soft. Katsuya puts himself out there as an in charge and confident person, but he's really just a quiet awkward nerd who likes to make cookies.
Tattoos/Scars? Has a small scar on his back from childhood. He fell onto some rocks trying to catch his brother when he fell out of a tree and hurt himself protecting Tatsuya. Ended up getting stitches.
Glasses/Contacts? Prescription glasses, though he prefers to wear tinted sunglasses to hide the fact that he looks young for his age.
Left/Right handed? Right handed
Distinguishing features: Those sideburns.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Despite trying to take on his father's mantle, Katsuya takes after his mother in mannerisms and looks.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Chic professional. Katsuya tries to keep up with the latest trends in business fashion in an attempt to look at his most professional and respectable.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Wears a charcoal grey suit, red button up shirt, and tie most often.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Black slacks and an assortment of button up shirts. This is what he considers to be "casual".
Jewelry: Silver wristwatch that belonged to his father.
Other accessories: Prescription glasses that are tinted red.
Weapons: Semi automatic pistol
Health: Katsuya doesn't get sick easily and is very active so he's in good health.
Hygiene: Borderline neurotic. He's a very neat and tidy person, and this includes his personal hygiene.
Physical Flaws: Occasionally smokes.
Physical Qualities: He looks remarkably babyfaced without his styled hair, tinted glasses, and professional attire. Absolutely despises the fact that he can't grow a beard to save his life.

I'm only a few months late... *coughs uncomfortably*
Nickname: (none)
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Race: Human

Socioeconomic level as a child: Middle class / merchant
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Upper middle class / lesser noble
Birth date: March 23
Birth place: Masarra (world of Kairn)
Current residence: The Nexus
Occupation: Rogue
Title/Rank: Lady (her father is a Baron back on her world) / Mistress (she ran her family's business back home)
Hobbies/Pastimes: Magical research, weapons practice, dancing
Talents/Skills/Powers: Sword fighting, stealth, very basic magical abilities
Past History
Hometown: Masarra (on the world of Kairn)
First Memory: Random flashes of home life with her mother (including poking her growing belly when she was pregnant with her first brother) and being at the family shop with her father. She's not actually sure which of the memories is "first."
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: The first time her then two year old sister got sick enough that the family wasn't certain she'd live through the night because they didn't have access to more adept healers. Amelia was twelve at the time.
Why/How? Over the years as Amelia spent more time out of the house with her father at the family's shops and her grandparents running errands for the family, she noticed a trend she didn't like. Nobles and lesser politicians (those "above" her family) looked down on them whenever they tried to better themselves, whether it was expanding the family's business or buying fancy things for themselves. Those below them scorned them for doing the same as they tried to "reach higher." This didn't sit well with the tiny rogue, nor did the fact that her family wasn't allowed to reach out to certain healers for her often sickly little sister because of their station. She determined then that they deserved better from the world and that she would spend her entire life getting it for them, no matter the personal cost.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: At fourteen, Amelia was hired to steal something from a lesser noble. The man woke when she was trying to escape his home and was able to keep up with her as she tore through the streets. Not knowing she was a child, he drew a dagger and drove it into the back of her right arm when she tried to scramble up to a roof. Although she escaped without him finding out who she was (and with her prize), she couldn't go to a healer and have them tell her parents about her state, so she tried to
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: She's not one to believe in lingering on the past, so pretty much any failure that comes up in conversation would be embarrassing.
Biggest role model: Her parents
Why? They're each strong people in their own right and shaped her in different ways. She admires her mother's constant kindness despite harsh realities and her father's pragmatic sense of the world.
Biggest challenge from childhood: The self set challenge to make her family noble.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5' 7" (5' 10" in her everyday boots)
Weight: 140 lbs
Posture: Tall, proud
Build: Lean and muscular
Skin: Light to medium, depending on the time of year and how much time she can spend outside
Hair: Dark brown, reaching almost to her waist. However, her hair is almost always braided into two plaits and pinned up with her (in)famous dark silver hair pin, hiding how long it is.
Eyes: Hazel
Describe their smile:
Tattoos/Scars? No tattoos, but many scars. In order of when they were received (and age received):
Back of right arm - garish, 2-inch long, very rough and ugly (14)
Twin scars on left thigh - 2 inches long, one on the front of her thigh and a matching one on the back. Thin and slightly raised skin by this point. (20)
Puncture scar in right abdomen - 1.5 inches long, wide, slightly raised scar that's mostly faded (21)
Small, slash-like scars on forearms (dozens of various sizes, all faint and thin, received 14 to present)
Glasses/Contacts? (none)
Left/Right handed? Right
Distinguishing features: She tries to blend in where she can, but Amelia's still a very beautiful woman by classical standards. It's hard to miss her when she dresses up. (Or when she gets angry and starts yelling at the top of her lungs.)
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Father in most ways, but she has her mother's natural grace and beauty.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): Plain / Practical, with subtle hints of elegance
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Long-sleeved shirt (with a very modest neckline) and pants with embroidery down the outside seams, leather underbust corset, knee-high leather boots, and belts covered in pouches and (quite often) weapons (usually only daggers and her slighshot these days, but she does break out her rapier and gauche occasionally). Everything she wears is made of the finest materials, most often in earth tones of rich browns and greens, so that even though she still dresses like a merchant, every piece of clothing is too expensive for that socioeconomic status.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: Simple, full length, long-sleeved gowns that cover most of her skin from neck to toes (like this). And, on very rare occasions, she'll break out a really fancy gown or (gasp!) 21st Century Earth fashions (she does love jeans, even if she rarely wears them!).
Jewelry: A single, thin silver band on her left index finger.
Other accessories: Dark silver hairpin covered in delicate flowers and with several strands of polished flowers and beads hanging from it, all made of an unfamiliar metal (secret: it's made of metal from a meteor that fell on Amelia's hometown).
Weapons: Rapier, gauche, two dozen daggers, slingshot (and hairpin, if necessary)
Health: Excellent, if a little malnourished when she gets into hardcore research mode
Hygiene: Excellent (she's a lady and has high standards)
Physical Flaws: Poor eating habits when she's stressed/distracted
Physical Qualities: Tall, lean, and lithe. A natural beauty, surprisingly strong given her frame, and extremely flexible.
Better Late than Never!
Nickname: Harrowheart (His Scourge name)
Age: Died at 26, currently... 33? It can be difficult to gauge timelines with Warcraft.
Sex: Male
Race: Human/Worgen, undead
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Socioeconomic level as a child: Rural lower class
Socioeconomic level as an adult: ??? Irrelevant? This is a more difficult question than I guessed! He's sort of outside the class system, closest alignment would be Poor.
Birth date: June 22nd (The day I created him!)
Birth place: His family home in Westfall, Kingdom of Stormwind, Azeroth
Current residence: Having a home isn’t necessary for him, as he isn’t obligated to sleep. His family lives in Ixis Naugus’ tower in the Nexus and he often stays with them. His ‘home’ on Azeroth could be considered Acherus, the Ebon Hold, the death knights’ ziggurat. Technically he does still own a one-room shack near the mountains of Westfall.
Occupation: Knight of the Ebon Blade, a duty he performs seriously and with pride, though he is tempted to spend more time in the Nexus than on Azeroth.
Title/Rank: His Scourge title was The Converter. While some death knights who knew him in the Scourge still refer to him that way, he prefers to be called simply Harrowheart. He hasn’t offered that title to anyone in the Nexus.
Hobbies/Pastimes: Gardening and plant grafting, reading to the best of his ability. Recently, movie-watching, learning about Earth culture.
Talents/Skills/Powers: In life he found that he had a talent as a sharpshooter. He’d gotten some practice with a hunting rifle growing up. After joining the Stormwind Army to serve in Outland he continued to practice his aim and eventually excelled from rifleman to sniper. It was a role that fit him well emotionally, because he preferred to be apart from others and struggled with social interaction. It isolated him further, but at the time he thought it was for the best. Theoretically he’s still a fine shot with a rifle, but he hasn’t taken up a gun in half a decade at least.
He had no proficiency for magic at all before his undeath, but as a death knight he was raised with a powerful, innate talent for physical necromancy. He’s not capable of summoning spirits, though he can pull souls from beyond the veil into bodies to create sentient zombies and even other death knights. He can take control of lesser undead (even sentient ones!) and command a few dozen risen bodies at a time. Shadow magic comes naturally to him and he can use it to heal undead, conjure shadow-construct beetles, and infect people with magical, Shadow-based illnesses.
He’s learned some ice magic as a way to be more socially acceptable to the living, but it doesn’t extend much farther than gusts of icy wind, icy spikes from the ground, frostwalking across water, and making simple ice constructs like chainlinks or fists. He’s trying to refine his skills with frost magic by creating unmelting figurines of ice, but that’s for show more than anything.
Past History
Hometown: TOWNLESS. Grew up on his family’s farm in Northeastern Westfall a few miles from the dunes near the sea.
First Memory: (One which I did not just cook up, but have been waiting to share for ages and never got the chance) Being very young and trying to pet a goat for the first time. The goat took a bite of his shirt and he ran away absolutely bawling. Didn’t like goats for years.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her + Why/How:
Growing up and sharing his personal struggles with his sister, Anna. He felt obligated to protect her from her own growing mental disorder, which was of course beyond the scope of a young boy going through puberty and growing into adulthood while he dealt with his own issues. They have an incredibly tense relationship in the present because she feels that his decision to join the army was him consciously trying to abandon her.
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how:
Sometimes he still thinks back on his pre-death time in the Stormwind army. The pain and destruction and unnatural magic he was exposed to in Outland and the fear he felt as a result return to the front of his mind and remind him of a fear he can’t quite overcome despite the distance.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why:
The circumstances surrounding his death. A single person in the Nexus knows this, and now that they know he can’t quite shake the sense of shame he feels around them.
Biggest role model:
His wonderful brother Lawrence.
Why?
Lawrence is his oldest brother, mysterious and wise, funny (in his opinion!), quiet and thoughtful in private, and there’s always been something powerful about being praised by the grumpy older sibling. He wishes he could care less like Lawrence does.
Biggest challenge from childhood:
Aside from his struggles with his sister, food scarcity was a real problem. His family was lucky enough to have never gone hungry, but the very real possibility of it loomed over their heads throughout his youth.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6’ 3”? Or 6’ 2”. I should know this, and yet.
Weight: I’m bad at weight numbers. He’s physically fit and muscular, so denser than he looks.
Posture: Generally stands straight, but does the Tall People Neck Slump when speaking with short people.
Build: Broadly muscular. Far from lumberjack wide, but thicker than a swimmer’s build.
Skin: Once suntanned white, now deathly pale. His extremities are chilly blue and his larger, shallower veins are very visible through his skin as dark blue lines.
Hair: Blonde, short. His facial hair is clean-shaven except for his sideburns. He has sparse hair on his chest, thicker near his navel.
Eyes: Once dark brown, now cyan and glowing with white lights where his pupils and irises once were.
Describe their smile: He smiles all the time! Usually warm and friendly, but he’s got a smile for every occasion.
Tattoos/Scars? No tattoos, but plenty of scars. His entire back and the sides of his neck are a briar patch of raised scars, his souvenir from being mauled by a feral worgen. He was quickly healed with the Holy Light, which saved his life if not his skin. Generally he bandages his neck so that people don’t have to see the wolf-tooth scars and slashes on his neck.
Glasses/Contacts? I joke with Viatorus’ mun so often about Harrowheart wearing glasses as he fails to work in an office environment that I’m really starting to warm up to the idea... But of course there’s no reason for him to need them.
Left/Right handed? Floating handed, haw haw. He’s right handed!
Distinguishing features: His entire everything. His runeblade(s), certainly – a haunted broadsword which can magically split into two single-handed swords. His severed hands, too! Sometimes he wraps them and appears mostly normal, sometimes he lets them float around. He can control them completely, but he has no idea how far the magic functions. They can’t lift much weight (a few pounds, really) and mostly function as a way for him to cast magic while he wields his swords strapped to his forearms.
Who does s/he take after; mother or father?
Physically, father. Personality-wise, mother. He loves them both equally, but he spent more time with his mother as a child and is slightly closer to her.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): He wears khaki cargo shorts... He has no style... (Ages ago I made this image for... Some reason. This is what he wears. Incidentally, he used to wear a stupid hat on Azeroth.)
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? See above! He also likes logo shirts with strange sayings.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: A suit of armor! His Ebon Knight attire. All of my art of it are very old, and as much as I am loathe to do it... Here’s an example of the in-game model. He wears a red cape with it, because he has no idea how to match colors and because it makes him feel evil.
Jewelry: None! He’s not really into jewelry. He especially never wants to get any piercings.
Other accessories: None.
Weapons: Runeblades!
Health: Dead, but doing pretty well for a dead man! He was resurrected shortly after his death and didn’t have time to decay. Any damage he takes will eventually heal, returning him to his form as of resurrection.
Hygiene: He’s clean and he likes it that way! He loves to take baths. He concerns himself with keeping up appearances and is terrified of bugs burrowing into him some day, so he cares for himself very well. Smelling pleasant is something he’d like to achieve someday, but he can’t stop smoking and ruining it.
Physical Flaws: Cold hands. Cold everything. Also, dead. He’s uncertain whether or not being a worgen counts as a flaw.
Physical Qualities: Tall, muscular, physically powerful.
Here, have the tactician birb.
Nickname: None as of now, and none that he remembers. (Never really had a nickname. If we bring the nicknames I give him, well...)
Age: Unsure of the exact year he was born, but around 17-19 (He's 19, the same age as Chrom)
Sex: Male
Race: Human, as far as he knows (He's the result of a genetic lineage to create the perfect vessel for the Dark Dragon Grima.)
Sexual Orientation: Can't remember. (He hasn't... really though about it. Probably straight? Give him
and the muntime.)Socioeconomic level as a child: Can't remember (Poor and on the run.)
Socioeconomic level as an adult: Uhhh... He's gonna be employed by royalty? He has no clue. (Same as above until now)
Birth date: Somewhere in the summer, just can't remember the exact date. (I'm giving him my birthday, June 22nd.)
Birth place: He doesn't remember. (Somewhere in Plegia.)
Current residence: Ylisstol (For the time being.)
Occupation: Tactician for Chrom's Shepherds.
Title/Rank: None.
Hobbies/Pastimes:So far, he knows he enjoys reading books and reviewing strategies and tactics.
Talents/Skills/Powers: On the battlefield, Robin can size up the enemy with a single glance, noticing their strength, their equipment, as well as the flow of battle- useful for a tactician to have. He can use swords and tomes in battle- tomes being a weapon of magic; he seems to personally prefer lightning tomes.
Past History
Hometown: Unknown (He was on the run since he was a baby.)
First Memory: Meeting Chrom. (He might not remember, but his first real memory was being on a boat to a foreign land)
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Nothing he's aware of. (Being born.)
Why/How? See above. (See Race's parentheses)
Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Seeing he's got amnesia, not much.
Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: See above.
Biggest role model: He doesn't have one. (Actually, his mom is, but I doubt he'll remember her.)

Biggest challenge from childhood: None that he can remember. (SURVIVING.)
Physical Characteristics
Height: About 5'8, 5'9.

Build: Average
Skin: Bit on the fair side.
Hair: White
Eyes: Golden Brown.
Describe their smile: Super soft and gentle.
Tattoos/Scars? None.
Glasses/Contacts? None- contacts don't exist yet in his world, even!
Left/Right handed? Right-handed.
Distinguishing features: A strange birthmark on the back of his right hand. (It's the Mark of Grima.)
Who does s/he take after; mother or father? He doesn't remember his parents to say. (His mother, holy shit. Have you seen his dad? Robin looks nothing like his dad.)
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): He's more on the pratical side, so he doesn't really have a sense of style.
How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Tunics, pants and boots are typical Robin wear, besides his travel outfit.
Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: ...He doesn't own a wardrobe, and he borrows a nightshirt and longjohns from Chrom as his pyjamas.
Jewelry: None.
Other accessories: A knapsack to put all his vital equipment inside.
Weapons: A bronze sword and a Thunder tome.
Health: Of average health (surprisingly, for someone who lived on the run since he was a baby.) However, as mentioned on TV Tropes, he is 'prone to fainting spells and exhaustion and other medical problems, but it's easily explained by their workaholic tendencies and lack of self-care.'
Hygiene: Average as well.
Physical Flaws: None.
Physical Qualities: He has a nice, pleasent voice.
