> basics <
+ What's your character's name? +
Yamazaki Ayu. (But at the moment, what does that mean?)
+ How old is he? +
36.
+ Is your OC a boy or girl? +
Female.
+ What's his/her race? +
Japanese.
> appearance <
+ If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get? +
Hm. She's okay enough to get maybe a second glance, but I don't really know if that is something she would strive for depending on what the circumstances are.
+ Is your character considered normal in his/her own world? +
Yes. Way more normal than all those Kenshin characters (snerk).
+ What would be his most recognizable feature(s)? +
It was her hair. But it's gone.
+ Would you consider your OC as attractive? +
I think she's very cute. I suppose so, although for some reason I think she doesn't really care.
> personality <
+ Temper? +
No. At least anger isn't something I associate with her all that much.
+ Does your character ever get depressed? +
A lot.
+ Leader or Follower? +
Follower.
+ What is the main aspect of their personality? +
Quietness. Perhaps sadness. Regret?
> history <
+ Does your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive? +
A brother who is who knows where. A son. His father should be considered family, although I'm not sure how to answer that given the current situation.
+ Has he encountered any traumatizing events? +
She has had some personal difficulties along the way, and skirted a nervous breakdown at least once. The current events are due to another traumatic incident and she has sustained some physical and psychological trauma.
+ What was probably the best time in his life so far? +
The years in Hagi with Takasugi Shinsaku. The few years with her brother as a child.
> romance <
+ Single? +
She is unmarried.
+ Has your OC developed any romantic relationships? +
Hm. At least twice in her life she has formed strong attachments to men. I'm not so sure if they were really romantic relationships or not. The first one was very short and traumatic. The second was longer in duration, and also ended somewhat traumatically.
+ Virgin? +
Duh. No.
+ Does your character like flirting? +
I don't think she thinks all that much about it. Flirting can be a precursor to seduction, which is something that she might have had to employ as a shinobi.
> symbolism <
+ What animal would you accociate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!) +
Ugh. No creatures of myth and legend? That pretty much screws with what I did associate her with. Alrighty. Then, how about a duck? (As in waddling, following, and occassionally dumb.)
Quack.
+ Musical Instument? +
None.
+ Element? +
Water. Ruled by mood and tides and at the same time, sort of a little more pliant and likely to wander.
+ Planet? +
Earth (Gaia). She has a strong maternal streak//mothering tendency. I see her as a nurturer if allowed to serve in that role.
> showing the Love <
+ Do you draw your character? +
I have done a few pieces. Two or three, I believe.
+ Do you write about him? +
No.
+ Do you use him in any rpgs? +
Hello.
+ What other ways have you appreciated your OC? +
None other. I guess I feel differently about her. Since she was largely unknown to me prior to playing her, I haven't done much appreciation. And it feels awkward to me to go in that direction. Something about her character or in her character would not like it.
> RANDOMIZE! <
+ Is your character wanted for anything? +
She was wanted for a time by a number of shinobi with some past link to her. Hopefully no longer.
+ What are three weaknesses in him/her? +
-She will not ask for what she wants.
-She will not save herself if it came down to it. Shinobi are trained to die.
-Relationally speaking, I think she's really passive. Maybe even a bit of a doormat.
+ Strengths? +
-Her ability to love is pretty out there. People (I would hope) generally like her.
-She is a domestic goddess. (At least in the kitchen, she happens to be a goddess.)
-She can defend herself against most normal sorts of dangers, but the RK world is probably not normal.
+ Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)? +
No.
+ What's one quirk about your him? +
She's curious. Insatiably curious. She is really easy to entertain, and in some ways is very childlike in her dealings with men. I don't know why she is that way, other than that maybe I am associating kindness with a kind of innocence in my mind.
+ Does your character have any phobias? +
Losing her child.
Abandonment.
+ What could you do to get him into a blind rage? +
Honestly, I don't know. I can't conceive of a blind rage where she is able to really think through what she's doing. I can see her killing in the heat of anger, but the only thing that could put her there is a threat against those she loves.
+ Does your OC like chickens? +
Why wouldn't she?
> The Final Question <
+ What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like? +
It's a tough one. I suppose I feel like her caretaker and mom. I feel very guilty about the things I have generated for her, and regret putting through her a lot of personal pain, particularly with no guarantee of an outcome that will be good. I really need to treat her better."
