Useless Facts About Your Characters! ( )

Postby Saarai on Mon Aug 03, 2009 3:27 pm

I didn't know where to put this, but since it relates to RP I decided it might go into this forum. I thought it would be fun if people listed useless facts about any of the characters that don't really affect their storyline too much that they wish. If you need to, post more than once if you have many characters so that you don't take up half a page with your list of useless facts. I'll start.

Izumi
- Considers himself a virgin because of the circumstances surrounding his first time.
- Doesn't eat meat.
- Doesn't drink alcohol, though he has before.
- Was raised Muslim, but is now a Nihlist.
- Is afraid of wolves.
- His favorite color is red.
- Earned his Maori tattoos in less than a year by destroying the creatures terrorizing northeastern New Zealand.
- Keeps his hair long and neat because of a promise he made.
- Is empathetic, but doesn't know.

The General
- Is Muslim.
- Earned all of his commendations with no kills in war whatsoever.
- Is a former child soldier for the Taliban.
- Is biased towards Christians.
- His favorite food is Cheese Pizza.
- Grew his hair because his wife would always tell him he should cut it before it got too long.
- Doesn't grow facial hair as frequently as other men.

The problem I find with listing 'useless' information is that I feel that every small thing about my characters helps me be able to understand and play them a bit better, though I do completely get the emphasis about the other players not needing to know some of it!

Kendra
- Has a scar on the left ankle from a deep scratch from a dog when she was eighteen.
- Archie, the name of her communicator, is also the name of her brother.
- She has never once had a romantic relationship, per her job.
- Absolutely adores Indian, but can't stand Japanese food.
- Has named all of her personal equipment.
- Wants to be normal.
- Favourite colour is purple.
- Favourite person... hmm, that'd be telling!
Gasmask: Alright. Either your CD is corrupted, which'd explain the crashing and odd stuffs.
Imehal: Or?
Gasmask: Your windows really, really, really hates icewind dale.

• Loathe pink, yet believe in love at first sight and all those thick, cheesy things.
• Still about pink, consider that particular color to be a rip-off from red.
• His favorite color is red (go figure).
• Someday want to know how snails taste like.
• Can't seem to get any facial hairs on his face.
• Enjoy listening to cat's purrs.

Romanae

- She spent three months in an unknown location and is thought to have been tortured there
- Has trouble speaking with women, and generally ignores other females unless she knows them personally
- Tends to come off as weak, although the Lance Corporal under her command is certain that this addling of her mind and reflexes is due to injuries from the three month torturing stint
- She is actually Scottish

Cloasse

- Has a crush on Geddes Vogler
- Has tattoos on each of the pads on her fingers, each a rune with a different meaning. She also has seven runes tattooed up the inside of her left forearm
- She appears to have been abused at a young age, which lends an explanation to her caustic, sarcastic mannerisms, as well as her odd moments of childish emotion
- Her 'Blood-Runes' don't actually require her blood to work - they are merely a way to channel her magic easier through the runes she draws. It would take perhaps two or three times the time and effort to complete tasks with normal Casting Ink than it would with Blood-Runes.

And since those two are my main characters, they are the only ones I can be bothered writing about!
