Character Question 29

Character Question 29

What do they think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

Freddie: Destroying someone's reputation. He believes strongly in people's legacies. He would be heartbroken if his own was tampered with or damaged. He knows people literally spend their lives cultivating their stance in society. All it takes is one slip of the tongue and it's over.

Zach: Torture and/or death. He's very materialistic. The physical wellbeing of people is incredibly important to him. Especially considering his dad's line of work, being crippled would ruin him. It's a fear Zach has - losing his physical capabilities since he wants to follow in his father's footsteps.

Zach is very aware of his physical limitations. He is still reckless, but he trains hard to make sure he can afford to be. He had weights in his shoes for a long time to strengthen his leg muscles for more risky jumps. He's stupidly flexible in case he gets stuck or lands badly. He knows basic self-defense and can fall properly. 

Bella: Ruining someone's education. Reputations and physical detriments aside, knowledge is incredibly important to her. It allows someone to rebuild their reputation and live a full life despite physical ailments. Her heart breaks for those who don't have the resources available for education. Losing knowledge is losing opportunities.

This will either distract her or use her success from programming. (She will pause her programming to follow this path or will use her fortune to fund it) She will invest a lot of money into building schools in third world countries. She'd love visiting the kids and would be super awkward with it for sure. She'd learn their language before going and would gravitate toward the quieter kids and talk to them about overcoming their shyness. She'd teach math lessons and would bring stuff for a homemade projector and would show them pictures of all the places around the world she'd been. (Because she'd also use the money left after donating to go on a world tour. European road trip!)

Character Question 27

Who is most similar to your character? Who is the opposite of your character?

Zach v Freddie: Sporty vs Nerdy. One of the biggest differences is their attitude towards other people. Zach is very closed off when it comes to his true nature, but is otherwise outgoing and cheerful. Freddie, however, is very cynical and doesn't care if he offends anyone. He's not outspoken and generally keeps to himself but won't hesitate to verbally beat you down, unlike Zach who is a peacekeeper.

Bella v Freddie: Bella tries to be social, and, once again, is more of a peacekeeper and tailors her outward appearance and interests to be more appealing to others. One of the biggest differences is that she loves coding and dislikes chemistry, while Freddie is the opposite. Bella tries to expand her expertise over many subjects, whereas Freddie tends to specialize in a few (though he really is the best in them)

Bella v Zach: Once again, nerdy vs sporty, though less so. Bella does have some athletic finesse, though not nearly as much as Zach. She is also a hundred times smarter than him, but that's not his fault - we need a jock to balance out the team. Also, as protective and masculine as he acts, he has a tendency to panic in extreme situations.

This is what @pagesofcursive and I have been doing instead of writing our books that's what this post is

Character Question 24

Guaranteed way to make them sad, angry, scared, happy

Bella: sad; a good book with a sad ending. Or ruining a project. Angry; assuming you know more than her. She takes pride in her knowledge, so if anyone disses it prepare to be whipped by her silver tongue. Scared; the dark and uncertainty. She is really thrown off by things left to the unknown. Happy; discussing her favorite things - book series, cartoon shows, complex programming

Freddie: sad; mentioning his parents. Seriously, don't do that. After the date that was set for them to come home passed, they became a touchy subject. He will tear up and go silent and probably leave the room. Angry; pushing your ignorance or knowledge onto him. He can't deal with dumb people or people who make him feel dumb. He will explode and then leave. Scared; undefeatable forces. He is intimidated very easily by physical might and will cower and run away. The apocalypse doesn't help with this. Happy; learning something new, particularly in science. He loves making new connections in the world and relating them to other parts.

Zach: sad; death really makes him sad. He hates the fact people lose those that are close to him. His dad mourns his mother's death every year, and Zach generally cries too cos he hates seeing loved ones in pain. Angry; people picking on those weaker than him. He will Fight anyone who does that and won't let up. °See response to combat. Scared; a loss of control. He will freak out if he no longer has a solid grip on a situation. He's gotten better, but if something goes really wrong and doesn't look like it can be fixed, he'll freeze up. He hates that. Happy; hanging out with good friends. He loves messing around with a ball or hanging out up a tree.

Vera is iconic. Her sass? Unmatched. Her badassery? Fantastic

Fera, as a plant enthusiast, is very bitter that Vera keeps plants alive fore her girlfriend and not her sister. She has sacrificed many plants to attempt to liven up Vera's room.

And I could also take this time to mention that Fera also has a girlfriend, who will be introduced on Saturday.

vera

she is an extremely protective person. vera doesn’t open up much to many people, but she would do anything for her sister (who wouldn’t?) and for the girl she falls in love with. vera dates for a sweet, slightly dramatic girl named madelyn, who works in a flower store and gave her a few plants one day. (“I can’t promise I’ll keep them alive,” vera lied. those little plants mean so much to her. she would never let anything happen to them.)

because fera absorbed some of her power before they were born, vera is a relatively weak empath that can sense positive emotions and can slightly improve people’s moods sometimes, but using her power drains her easily. however, fera is usually the one who needs more support because she becomes easily overwhelmed, so vera helps her sister deal with everything. 

nicknames: amitola (by fera), various pet names (by madelyn) 

power: empath for positive emotions

ethnicity: irish-native american

birthday: september 13

sexuality: lesbian

(note: this character, along with the one being introduced on Sunday, are in the fusion au, which belongs to both @apocalypsewriters​ and me. eve is introducing her characters on her page. fera’s intro is here. enjoy!) 

Character Question 23

When you were a child, what was one thing they could always be sure of?

Bella: she always had a very reliable family that would support her no matter what, no matter how crazy the endeavor may be. 

Freddie: before they left, he could always trust that his parents would answer his undying questions about the world. They were proud their son shared their insatiable curiosity.

Zach: his bed. It sounds simple enough, but his entire life he's had the same bedframe lovingly painted lavender with different shades of blue speckles and hearts and the growing collection of stuffed creatures meticulously arranged on his bed.
