Sorry, I've been listening to Paul Oakenfold's remix of U2's "Beautiful Day" on repeat and it's kind of permanently cemented in my brain. x3
Anyhoo, I found this meme/survey thing I did a while back about one of my characters and thought I'd put it here for future reference.
Incubus
1)What's your character's name?
Incubus Akinyemi
Prefers:
Incubus
2)How old is he/she?
In his mid twenties, Id assume. 24, 25.
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
Boy
4)What's his/her race?
Demon
Appearance:
1)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?
Hmmm
quite a few. Hes rather beautiful for a guy, and has silvery hair and only one visible eye, and he doesnt exactly dress like anyone youd normally see walking down the street. So yes, many stares.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Not exactly. Hes one of the strongest demons in existence (not that hes aware of that). Not really your run-of-the-mill guy. And hes Daemonwulfs right-hand man, which gives him advanced status and power. Appearance-wise
normal for a demon, but thats not saying much.
3)What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
The black bandana tied around his right eye. Hes blind in that eye. The other is a fierce, sharp ice blue.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Yup. Thats why one of the main characters falls for him.
Personality:
1)Temper?
Hes usually pretty collected. When he gets mad, he channels it and concentrates it to make him stronger, instead of freaking out and yelling, or something. It would take a lot to really piss him off.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Yes. Often. But he has ample reason to. He doesnt show it if he can help it. He likes to be in control. [That is a very important aspect of his character, by the way.]
3)Leader or Follower?
I guess both. He is a follower to Daemonwulf, only because he has to be, and because he knows it will be to his best interests in the long run. He is also definitely a leader when it comes to everyone else hes around.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Indecision. Most of the characters in the story are rather black and white, but not Incubus. He is very clearly gray. His character is based on his inner turmoil involving his loyalties, Rage, good and evil, and lots of other fun things like that.
History:
1)Does your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
His mother died giving birth to him. His father later grew very ill and died when he was about eighteen. That was the only family he had.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Well
he lives at the demon HQ, so he is not literally out on his own, but emotionally he has always been a loner and keeps that persona up until he meets Rage.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Im sure hes encountered many, being in his line of work. He has also come close to death a number of times while out on special missions from Daemonwulf. You cant really associate with Daemonwulf and not encounter traumatizing things.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Easy; when he first met Rage. She was kinda like the Juliet to his Romeo, you could say. She gave him hope when nothing else in the world made sense. Even now that shes with Teufel and hes alone, memories of her get him through the hard times.
Romance:
1)Single?
Yes
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yep
3)Virgin?
Hed kill me if I told you. But just because its fun to watch him squirm: no.
4)Does your character like flirting?
Uhhh, hes never really had a reason to up until now, so I guess so, but hes more of a straight out, no holds barred, seduction kind of guy. If hes attracted to you, you know it. He doesnt unleash that charm very often, though. Even less lately.
Symbolism:
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
Some kind of big cat
a panther, or something. He moves like one.
2)Musical Instrument?
Violin.
3)Element?
Water.
4)Planet?
Well, I originally had Pluto here, but now it's not a planet! D:
So...Neptune?
Showing the Love:
1)Do you draw your character?
Yep. In fact, writing this is giving me a serious craving to draw him right now.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Yes, he is a character in Teufels story.
3)Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
I dont really roleplay much anymore.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Well
er
Im pretty much madly in love with him. Does that count?
RANDOMIZE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Oh, Im sure.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
Three? Er
Rage, his indecision, and he can sometimes be a wee bit overconfident.
3)Strengths?
Everything else, basically. Hes one powerful dude. He is extremely smart, fast, agile, skilled in many forms of martial arts, etc. He also packs a pretty nice arsenal and knows how to use it. Not to mention he really is very emotionally strong and mature. He has what you might call an old soul. Hes still quite young, but he has wisdom beyond his years. [Fun note: One of the paradoxes I play with a lot in the story is the fact that Teufel, who is over six centuries old, actually has much less wisdom and composure than Incubus who is only 24-25. Funny how Teufel acts the age that Incubus is and Incubus acts the age Teufel is. I think thats why Incubus irritates Teufel, and vice-versa.]
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
No. Remember the whole, he has to be in control thing? Yeah.
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
He doesnt like things on his arms. I mean, he very rarely wears sleeves. If he has a shirt on with sleeves, he rolls them up. Hed much rather just be in a wife beater or something at all times. I dont really know why. Sometimes hell consent to wearing gauntlets or wrist accessories if they are practical and serve a purpose.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
See above. He also fears death quite a bit, and he fears losing, although he doesnt show it.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Probably really hurt/kill Rage. Thats really the only thing you could do that would get him that worked up.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
I dont think Incubus has ever seen a chicken.
The Final Question:
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
Incubus is like a puzzle to me. Every time I think Ive got him figured out, his character just evolves a little bit more and I am left to re-evaluate him all over again. He changes, he improves, but for some reason I have always known how I wanted him to be and I am very comfortable with him. Im also very intrigued by him, and I love writing his character in the story. Im excited to see what he becomes as the story progresses. So although he is still a bit of a mystery, I love Incubus.
