🚿 — hygiene

(( She prefers to stay quite clean, bathing after major exertions, keeping her clothes at least aired out well, and washed often. She’s not afraid to smell of fresh sweat, and she won’t compromise safety for cleanliness, but now that she’s of sufficient means to get to bathe when she wants to – she takes advantage of that. ))

🎭 — performance art/acting

‘I… lack showmanship. Learnt that the hard way in the carnival. Actual acting… hrm. That has possibilities… close enough to what I have to do when dealing with an awful lot of people anyway.’ She shrugs. ‘Might have to try that. But I know that, no matter that I’m a really good knife-thrower and juggler in a technical sense, I’m not entertaining at it. And my singing… my voice is good, but I don’t know any suitable songs.’ She sighs heavily. ‘And what I’m best at remains killing, though surgery to fix people up is getting to be a close second. Doesn’t leave a lot of time to learn other peaceful pursuits, though.’

⚓️ — sailing

‘For all the sailors I know or have known, and having – however technically – been a pirate… I only know how to stay out of the way and be a good little passenger. I wish I did know how to sail, or help sail at least… but I don’t.’

Confess something you’ve thought about me on anon, and all I can do is post it

A weird/obscure fear they have:

The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail:

Anonymously ask me, “Would you…”

make me rank my OCs!

sunriseoverastorea:

tyrian-tomo:

toastyhat:

send me a quality (tallest, most flexible, best legs, most socially inept idgaf) and I’ll give you my top three OCs with that quality.

Real life has hit me like a ton of shit bricks, so I’d love a distraction. My askbox is open, hit me up!

I actually have more than 3 toons. It’s a miracle.

(( Most people don’t know even half my OCs even in any one game – this might get amusing. Specify which game if you care, from LOTRO, WoW, or GW2 (City would be too hard), or “any”. If you don’t specify, I’ll guess by which game I know you from. And sorry, BDO peeps, but I don’t have more than 2 in BDO yet, so this doesn’t work there. ))

Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

(( This one’s complicated to answer – which is good. Adri likes fancy dresses, and wishes she could dress like Lux and Adonya, or at least like Linneia. She has body image issues, though, and doesn’t feel like she can do that. Also, she doesn’t have their status to protect her should she find herself having to find off groping hands, and she’s all too well aware of that.

(( Part of her self-image issue is her size and figure, but a lot of it is the scars she used to have. Now that she doesn’t, she’s getting a bit braver in what she wears – but she also far too often needs armour rather than just clothing. She’s taken to getting sum advanced flexible armour added to her clothing, working with a krewe in Rata Sum, but it’s not as good as what she can hide in her usual leathers, as her current broken shoulder demonstrates.

(( As for rituals surrounding dress, she really doesn’t have any – in part from usually dressing alone with no help, and not having been exposed to the notion of trying to have any rituals. She tries to be sure she looks as good as she can in a hurry, but that’s about it. ))

Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

(( She’s drawn to histories, and ferreting out the truth from the various shadings and “spin” various writers always have – but she’s proved to be best at learning languages. Combining those is why such an otherwise under-educated twenty-year-old (at the time) got to be a Magister in the Priory despite her lack of earlier formal education. ))

How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

(( She kept having to hide from the Seraph to avoid getting “restored” to the abusive families that had adopted her, so she had effectively no formal schooling at all, since that mess started when she was not quite seven. She had the barest groundwork for how to read, and that was it. Once she had a reasonably stable place to live, she took to learning quite well, but she has a lot of gaps in her knowledge, and she knows it. She thinks a mix of formal education and self-directed study is probably best. ))
