Questions Meme


As first posted here by Emely!:

1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥

Season 2 begins tomorrow, all, and there've been plenty of developments and new blood since the first round - get the words flowin', get to know/re-know some of your gamemates, and/or simply shoot the breeze~

What attracted you to Stocking and Loki?

Stocking
As Alex was slipping more into 'serious' territory, I wanted a character that would lend themselves to silly antics to act as a counterbalance. I also wanted a character I could do balls to the walls stupid shit with and as much as Alex is pretty good with balancing humor and seriousness, he didn't fit that role.

I also wanted someone who could excel in combat. I can't remember how I decided to look at PSG for possible characters, but it happened! Stocking definitely met all the requirements I was looking for. She's not a character type I'm used to playing, so I was a little nervous about that -- OH. Part of why I chose Stocking is because I wanted to play around with the AU aspect and reincarnate her as Stocking's total opposite in personality. (I ended up not doing much with that, but eh.)

Tbh, I considered Panty as well. While I think her voice comes easier to me, I wasn't sure her outlandish behavior would be well-accepted IC-wise. She's definitely the leader of the duo, so without her present, I think it's feasible to say Stocking wouldn't get herself into as much trouble in Locke without a Panty to follow, so that kind of helps in balancing PSG's brand of outrageous with IC consequences.

Loki
In general, I tend to like villains who embody the quote "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" and characters who unintentionally bring about their own self-destruction. Loki fits both pretty well.

I was still jonesing to play both an antagonist and a reincarnate who becomes unhealthily infatuated with the power their Echoes grant them in STE, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Return question! If Xander could have his brother returned to him alive and well in exchange for the lives of the other reincarnates, what would he do?

Interesting. That's understandable for picking Stocking over Panty due to the possible struggle of being accepted by other characters. I can't wait to see Daniel become a bit more power-hungry as time goes on.

...That is a difficult thing to answer. Xander would love to have Conleth back, but at the same time, he is loyal to the network and wouldn't dare of giving anyone up. But, if he was asked this without any inclusion of the 'price' for getting his twin brother back, he'd do it, especially after loosing his guilt and a portion of his loyalty personality traits.

Are there any songs you associate with your characters?

What canon do you want to check out the most now because of STE?
amberhearted: (Default)

[personal profile] amberhearted 2014-03-23 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm. I guess the closest answer would be Tolkien's Middle Earth, though that's more a combination of STE and the latest Hobbit film. I ended up buying The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy to read... someday. I think I'm only, like, thirty pages into The Hobbit so far, whoops.

What kind of scenery would you associate with both canon Henry and STE Henry?

do you have any specific goals (either plot or character) that you want to accomplish with loki?
amberhearted: (Default)

[personal profile] amberhearted 2014-03-23 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! My main goal with him is to obtain more Echoes that grant him powers -- not for the powers, but to explore his greed with getting all these powers that makes him dangerous. Right now, he's in a position that strips a lot of his freedom.

On the flip side of that, it's very possible that he'll obtain enough memory Echoes to realize he was a grade A asshole, so the situation will become some kind of balance of relishing his/Loki's powers while rejecting Loki's villainous escapades and/or trying to convince himself that he won't be like that.

Aside from that, I'm going with the flow!

What kind of music do you associate with Dallen and Ivan?

[personal profile] disenchant 2014-03-23 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
oh man either way will be a fun direction to explore, & i can't wait to see which one it'll take. *u*

but uh! as far as music goes, dallen definitely gets the most hipster of hipster music. not just because of how big of a hipster davesprite is but because dallen has that kind of. idk, going against mainstream kind of vibe going for him? so it just fits him. plus edm! lots & lots of edm.

ivan is mostly everything japanese because he's a huge japanophile in his past life. especially the jrock kinds! bands like radwimps, bump chicken, back on, and one ok rock are bands i associate with him a lot. enka is also a thing that makes me think of him too haha ...

back at you though, since i love hearing about people's thoughts re: music — do you have any particular songs that remind you of your characters?
amberhearted: (Default)

[personal profile] amberhearted 2014-03-23 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
BUMP OF CHICKEN IS GOOD TASTE, I APPROVE. (I don't recognize the others!)

RE music! Actually, I don't have any songs that I strongly associate with Alex in this game -- which I guess matches up since I hadn't any songs strongly associated with him for his preincarnation, either. The lyrics I use for his keywords are pretty much songs I was listening to while keywording.

On the flip side, I associate Stocking with songs like Do Me More (Namie Amuro) and Bubblegum Bitch (Marina and the Diamonds), and Loki with Actions and Motives (10 Years), Use You (Dave Gahan), and ssssome of the lines in Crazy (Gnarls Barkley). The first two are from a fanmix several years ago.

... What would Ivan do if he Echoed back his suit in public? Like, it just appeared on him.

How do you imagine your characters' lives/futures would have gone if the invasion and network business had never arisen?
amberhearted: (Default)

[personal profile] amberhearted 2014-03-23 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Alex would have continued with his paramedic job... probably until retirement age, tbh. He'd be mostly content with his personal life (he'd still have a FWB and thus not be in a rush to fill the 'romance' department), but Alex is the kind of person who wants a family. I could see him falling for someone and having a kid or two with them.

After retirement, he might go to a technical school and officially learn carpentry or something, and then do it on the side. He's not someone who wants to stay still.

Angeline would've gone into retail, still planning to eventually attend college... except she never does. Instead, she never leaves retail and slowly, but surely ascends the ranks to a manager position after months of frustration finally making her more comfortable with speaking her mind and not taking some blatant shit.

When her parents retire and close the B&B, she doesn't take it over. She goes through several relationships. Maybe one of them lasts a long time, but she never gets married.

She's not living life to the fullest, but she's mildly satisfied.

Daniel finishes his debt with the Albero mafia, but his fears are confirmed: he can't leave his position. His alcoholism worsens and he struggles with depression. Eventually, he makes the very selfish decision of driving while drunk and ends up getting another driver and himself killed in a head-on collision. The irony is unfortunate.

What if Anthony Echoed back a non-zombie state? How would he feel? What would he do?
