Character Development Game #2

"My deepest regret...I actually don't wanna talk about it, but to put it lightly, I hurt the only person I truly love. I mean, I really fucked up. I wish I'd never fallen in love with her. I could have just done the job and moved on like I always did before, but no. I have to ruin everything " -Twitch, Forever.

If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?

"Many might think I'd love to get rid of the demon in me but... That's really not what I would do. The demon is part of me, I accept it. What would I change though then? I don't think there is anything. I mean, I might not like some parts of my appearance or behaviour, but if i change something about myself, then I wouldn't really be me, would I?" - Sake.

Same?

"I can't. I don't exist anymore, there's nothing I can change about someone who doesn't exist. I think I'd like to be tall, though, being tall was something I always wanted when I was real." - Farley, untitled

You're walking and, lo and behold, you stumble across a future version of yourself! Where are they in life? What do they look like, sound like, do you like them?

"I look about the same. Maybe a little taller. Surely that's a lot more muscle on me. I got slightly longer hair. Haha. I can't really see the face so I'll just.... -Oh my-... Those aren't my eyes. Mine are green, these are fully black. And those teeth... they're so sharp! And why is my tongue so long? That's not me. That's not me. What is going on!?" - Sake.

"Why is there a halo around me. Who are these white people. Why are there black crack-lines on my face?" - Eren.

What would you say to your older self? Any advice?

"Stop being so afraid of yourself. You're not a little girl anymore and that's okay. You don't have to be exactly what your parents want. Oh, and get rid of those silly stuffed animals." - Axelle, Drive Drive Drive

"Most importantly, listen to your mother. She is right. She is always right. And secondly, work out. You are too bony and it's embarrassing." - Steffen, Drive Drive Drive

Since there isn't a question.... I picked a random one from before :

How many languages can you speak? Would you like to speak more?

"Two. Mian - my land's language, and the standard international one. Would I like to speak more? Only a little bit of Ardian so I can tell the ruler to go shove it up his ass." - Eren.

"Mm, same as Eren, though instead of Mian just Siru. I'd like two learn the other languages of the other three kingdoms, but I know that's really hard. Just a little bit of each I guess then. Just to get along well with everyone. Also I think it would be nice too!" - Sake. both from unnamed and unposted.

What do you focus more on - the future or the present? Why?

Sorry I forgot to put a question!!!

"The future because it will be so much brighter." - Axelle, Drive Drive Drive

"The present. It is what controls the future, after all." - Steffen, Drive Drive Drive

"I try to focus on the future more because I'm not very happy with my present." - Pat, Neuter

Who or what has taught you the most in life?

That's alright

[shifts uncomfortably] "I suppose it would have to be Sake. Nothing academically of course. I mean, it's not that he's great or powerful or anything. He just... he taught me forgiveness. He taught me what it meant to care for others. He put faith and hope inside me." ~ Eren.

You're wandering the streets one late night and find a lost child. What do you do?

"What's a street? You mean the highways? Anyone lost underwater's dead as a wet cat in a microwave if he doesn't have backup oxygen. On the offchance someone did manage to get himself stranded... I guess I'd hook him into my tank and let him breathe a little, then just take him down to the shelter. No time for kids." - Miles, Kingdomwild

You and one other person are the only ones left in your world. Who is it? Why?

"Definitely Ashen. Him and his enhanced senses and whatnot can get us out of trouble, sometimes in but I'm aiming toward the good characteristics about him here, and me with my telekinesis we would be golden for survival. I mean, we're kind of already surviving the world as it is. It's starting to look that way at least." - Sawyer, Unique Minds.

If you had to make the choice between good and evil, which would you choose and why?

"I don't see the difference, truthfully. Both want ultimate power, both strive to defeat the other, both have their own sets of ideals and morals and goods and bads. They're identical. I'd rather be real." - Fletcher, Cold Void

Same?

"A good person can always slip down into bad, but a bad person can never get worse. Everything they do will ultimately be bad. The only way is up. Besides, the bad are stronger. At least, in my race anyway." ~ Eren.

What’s one of the strangest and 'not you' things you’ve ever done?

"My ex-boyfriend, I guess. No one really expected that. He was, like--I mean, he was a lot older than me, and I was a freshman in college, and he kind of took me under his wing. We dated for a year and a half, which is a long time when you're that young. It wasn't really serious, but, like--to me, it was. The only reason we broke up is because he moved away. When he left, he kind of fucked me over, so I was a mess for awhile." ~ Harper

Have you ever had your heart broken?

"Once. I don't remember how, who, or why, but I remember the pain. It ended me. In some ways, literally. I guess I've deserve it. I've broken hearts at least a dozen times more than my own was broken." -Charlie, Ghost (not yet posted)

What's your taste in music?

"I love showtunes; I'm obsessed with musicals. Beyond that, I like easy listening, some pop music occasionally strikes my fancy, jazz on occasions, and the cheesy rock music I grew up with." -Dr. John Samuels

Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrials? Why or why not?

"Absolutely. I swear, there's one living in my house right now. Either that or she's some kind of weird hallucination. I wouldn't be surprised if I was going crazy, to be honest. She talks to plants. And the plants listen. It doesn't get much freakier than that. Well, it does, but only in movies. Not in my freaking house." -Ash, Hide and Seek

Same question?

"No, I don't. There's nothing to believe. It's like asking me if I believe in milk: of course not, I've seen it, and I live with it, and no one cares anymore. I don't believe in them because I know them. They're not half as bad as you think." - Lars (Icarus)

What's your prime directive? (The meaning of your existence, the reason you get up every day)

"Sake. Literally, I have only two goals. Both relating to him. To get better than him, and to kill him. After that, there is no meaning for me to live." ~ Eren.

"To make the world a better place. I might not free it from demons, but i will do everything in my power to lessen the encounters between the humans and demons, so less people have to suffer, so less have to go through what I have gone through and lose loved ones." ~ Sake.

Good question! Same?

"You know, I'm not real sure yet. Everyone always asks me what kind of career I wanna go into, what college I wanna go to, and I'm just...kind of lost right now. I guess it makes sense, seeing as how I'm a freshman in high school, for God's sake. I guess what keeps me driven is the fact that I've actually been looking forward to school nowadays." - Alana, Who Knows, Who Cares

"I think I just wanna make people happy, you know? I love performing and I'd love to be on Broadway and all that stuff, but I think I'd need to take a few big steps to even get my foot in the door. In the meantime, I'm totally cool just studying to be a drama teacher. I get to interact with kids who were so similar to me in high school that it's kinda scary." - Julian, Who Knows, Who Cares

Where do you feel the most at-home?

"The institute mainly. It's the most at-home place I've felt since the passing of my mother. She was the life in the house and when she died, it felt so empty with just me and my dad there. But now that I was taken to the institute and put around people in a similar situation, I couldn't feel more at-home." -Sawyer Alexander, Unique Minds

Which person in your life do you relate more to?
