For great hilarity: Ophelia, from School for Young Women.

OH JEEBUS this will be weird. :P

[Spoilers for School for Young Women below.]

01. Full name: Ophelia Cratchett.

02. Best friend: Brother? Can't find him. Have a sister now; we'll be friends and put our heads on each other's shoulders forever, right?

03. Sexuality: Yes. Well, sometimes men are stupid. But sometimes it's fun. She's beginning to think she likes women too, if they're strong and brilliant and epic.

04. Favorite color: Flowers.

05. Relationship status: Start of game? Single. End of game? Married, to Hamlet/the Phantom of the Opera/El Capitan. LARPs are silly like that. :D

06. Ideal mate: Answer unclear, she's a sword, try again later.

07. Turn-ons: Rogues and bad boys. Adventures. Men who don't try to rescue her and don't try to use her and just let her wrap around them. Fantastic stories. Kicking ass. Teasing horny pirates.

08. Last sexual experience: You think I can tell which was chronologically last with that character sheet? :P

09. Favorite food: Hm. Stuff that tastes good. Don't eat much.

10. Crushes: Julia. Jack Sparrow. She's over Horatio now.

11. Favorite music: Her humming. It's not exactly tuneful though.

12. Biggest fear: She hasn't met something she can't conquer; see the fact that she's a fucking sword. If she did, she might be a little bit afraid, but the thought of that happening hasn't quite occurred to her.

13. Biggest fantasy: She kind of fell a little bit in love with Julia just from listening to Hamlet describe her. She loved the idea of a triad, the three of them, all balancing each other out. Sadly, he blew that out of the water; silly man. She was very sorry.

14. Quirks in bed: Will sing and murmur odd things and look sweet and innocent while she tops the hell out of whomever she's with. Really, she's about the same in bed as out.

15. Bad habits: She ran late to school once--four years late. She forgot where her brother went, or what his name was, or anything. She wasn't sure whether she was supposed to be queen or not. Her grasp on reality: NOT SO MUCH.

16. Biggest regret: Losing her brother?

17. Best kept secrets: She doesn't so much keep secrets, because most things she'll burble about.

18. Last thought: At end of game? Something along the lines of "yay, he's less emo now!"

19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: Things exploded with Horatio. He was so foolish. Set on being a hero. It was horrible.

20. Biggest insecurity: People won't like her because she just found out she's a sword? But they were okay. That's fine then.

<3 Ophelia!

I want to see what people thought of being inside the heads of characters I wrote. =) Let me hit you with Sabrina.

Date: Nov. 6th, 2010 05:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wired-lizard.livejournal.com
Wheee! This should be interesting.

[Notes for other readers: the below contains spoilers for Like Putting a Leash on a Rocket Launcher.]

01. Full name: Sabrina. She's an E-pho; that's all there is.

02. Best friend: Talullah was totally her BFF from school, and they're still in touch. And Talullah still has the tattoos Sabrina color-changed into her skin. :D

03. Sexuality: Straight or mostly straight. Not something she had given much thought to--since she's a good E-pho, and good E-phos don't so much get into relationships--until Ty hit her like a ton of bricks.

04. Favorite color: "What, I have to choose? *rainbow hands* Tell you what, there's only about one color I don't like and that's chartreuse. That's a much shorter list."

05. Relationship status: Ty is complicated on Facebook. Very complicated. (Thanks, Lily.)

06. Ideal mate: She'll spend her life with April. They love each other dearly (and platonically), and even if the handler laws magically disappeared, they'd probably still live together.

07. Turn-ons: Art and love and laughter and Ty's eyes. Closing her eyes and seeing every color that can exist, and then opening them and stretching out her fingertips and sending them out into the world. Painting people, painting on people, changing the colors of Ty's skin, slow and subtle and beautiful, following every line of his body, tracing him, his skin and the whole room around him changing and changing again as they make love.

08. Last sexual experience: Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty. Before she realized she was pregnant. Then everything exploded.

09. Favorite food: Mangoes and grapes and berries and all sorts of fresh fruit. Chai. Fruity girly drinks with almost no alcohol, because nobody wants a drunk E-pho, even one as well-controlled as her.

10. Crushes: Ty Ty did we mention Ty?

11. Favorite music: Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, that sort of thing. She loves music with rich and unusual sonic textures; she tends to synesthize those into colors.

12. Biggest fear: Losing her baby.

13. Biggest fantasy: Being able to raise her child. Being in some magical place where nobody's going to come for her baby, where she can live and work with April, where she and Ty are stable and healthy again, where Lily is magically saner and more like a little sister--because even in fantasy, she does not separate E-pho and handler.

14. Quirks in bed: Very yielding and submissive and a little shy, but will color herself and her partner and everything around her. Squeaks when she comes.

15. Bad habits: If she were human, her degree of emotional dependence upon April could be called a bad habit; but she's not, and April taking care of her is perfect. If she lived by herself, she'd have a horrible time keeping up with chores and life and everything; but she's an E-pho, she's never had to learn those things. She will sometimes get stuck in avoidant emotional holding patterns--see Ty these days. And she hasn't yet made a habit of coloring national landmarks pink, but...

16. Biggest regret: How she handled things with Ty. She knows she hurt him, and that scared her even more, and then she was even more frightened to talk to him, and then rinse and repeat, round and round.

17. Best kept secrets: Her pregnancy. She finally worked up the courage to tell Ty in game, but before then, only April knew. And she's very, very leery of telling anyone else, for very valid reasons.

18. Last thought: At end of game? Pretty much I hate myself and everybody and everything's black. Thanks, Lily.

19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: Worst romantic experience? The conversation with Ty that took place in game. Again, thanks, Lily. *facepalm*

20. Biggest insecurity: Being a bad or disobedient E-pho. She's always been a good girl, has a good life, a very good license rating, etcetera. She follows the rules, and she likes to keep those around her happy. If she were a dog, a simple "bad girl!" would make her whimper and cry.

Are Recycled characters viable? If so: Grace, please!

If not: Stella Rogers!

Ah, what the hell, let's go for a twofer:

01. Full name: Grace Myung Kwan, formerly Takada Kiyomi.

02. Best friend: She would say, without much embarrassment, that her best friend is a bird. Beyond that, her therapist.

03. Sexuality: A minefield. Largely straight, to her disgruntlement, though somewhat less so once she meets Tiffany.

04. Favorite color: Midnight blue.

05. Relationship status: Extremely single until she starts sprouting unexpected casual relationships.

06. Ideal mate: She really does think of herself more as the comfortably single sort. She doesn't expect to find herself sharing her entire life with anybody.

07. Turn-ons: Eloquent feminists. Long, long snuggles before anything else happens, and then long, long kisses. People she's comfortable with. Doofy and careless bouts of dancing when she's somewhat punch-drunk. She has a demented fondness for being given piggy-back rides, though she wouldn't exactly call that a turn-on. Unless it happens to be from a person she likes.

08. Last sexual experience: Depends upon when you're asking, but most likely either a Very Awkward Date That Never Quite Got There or Adventures With Tiffany. The latter was far more enjoyable. ;)

09. Favorite food: Give her a bowl of lychees and a pot of green tea and she'll be happy for hours.

10. Crushes: Excluding a few embarrassing things when she was young, she tries to avoid this sort of thing. Though she may have a bit of a thing for Cedar, but really, who doesn't?

11. Favorite music: Beethoven.

12. Biggest fear: Fire.

13. Biggest fantasy: She has often harbored childish fantasies of being swept off her feet and lovingly cared for by a perfect man who wasn't going to hurt her.

14. Quirks in bed: Everything seems pretty quirky to her, now that she is finally exploring her sexuality in a comfortable and consensual fashion. :P

15. Bad habits: She would not call a three-pots-a-day tea habit bad. She would call her obsessive checking of the LOLcat blog network every evening a guilty pleasure habit. She occasionally considers her habit of shutting people out of her personal life unfortunate, but it is also often a source of cope.

16. Biggest regret: In this life, the fact that she has gone so long without close friendships or good sex often aches, as well as the fact that she lost contact with a few decent people in her family when she shut the rest out. In the last life, well, most of it.

17. Best kept secrets: There are things from her childhood that she has never even told her therapist. They are not good things.

18. Last thought: Last? Well, at the point that she (temporarily) died, I suspect her last thought was "ahhh, finally out of the damn firesuit."

19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: Anything before she met the Boston reincarnate crowd. Beyond that, she would like to not go into details, thank you.

20. Biggest insecurity: That she will lose her grounding, the core of strength that she has built up within herself over the years, and suddenly find herself unable to cope.

Grace is wonderful! And flawed and complicated and strong and... I like 7, 13 (oh... ow), 15, and 16 especially.

Though she may have a bit of a thing for Cedar, but really, who doesn't?

Um... his sister?

(I initially considered asking for Eli, because he is one of my personal favorites among your characters, but I know a lot less about Grace, and was therefore extremely curious. Thank you for posting!)

01. Full name: Stella Rose Rogers. Official code-name: Miss America. The code-name most people actually use: Captain America.

02. Best friend: Bucky Barnes, back in the day. But...he's gone. Nowadays, Andrea Stark is the closest she has.

03. Sexuality: Awkward. She's attracted to men, but most men, especially in her original era, aren't thrilled with the idea of a lady who can bench-press them. She's joked about dancing with the girls, but has no particular idea of what to do with her attraction to Andrea/Iron Man, nor even a realization that she is attracted for the longest time.

04. Favorite color: American flag blue. Red and white are close seconds. ;)

05. Relationship status: Perpetually single.

06. Ideal mate: She doesn't particularly expect that to happen.

07. Turn-ons: Fighting. Especially sparring, if it's hand-to-hand with a friend, no shield, just bodies. Long motorcycle rides with her passenger pressed up against her back. Drawing people, sometimes. Swimming, hiking, being out in the world and having adventures.

08. Last sexual experience: A quick, frantic oh god oh god we're all gonna die fumble with a very sweet and earnest GI fellow, just before D-Day. Twelve hours later, she hauled his body off the field.

09. Favorite food: Anything that's not field rations.

10. Crushes: She will never admit it even to herself, but she probably had a bit of a thing for Nick Fury. Because, seriously, Nick Fucking Fury. She may also have a bit of a thing for Thor. Clearly she aims high. ;)

11. Favorite music: 30's and 40's big band music will make her wax blissfully nostalgic. Even if it's bad.

12. Biggest fear: The classic hero's fear: letting somebody die on her watch because of her fuckup, and she has a broad definition of her own fuckups. She's faced that one more than once.

13. Biggest fantasy: Punching out Hitler. She never got close enough to the bastard to do it.

14. Quirks in bed: She is perpetually careful and cautious and awkward--this is about the only time she's awkward about her size and strength, or tries to act girlish. She's also not exactly sure how to do anything in bed, per se; she's used to a silent, desperate fumble in a hidden nook of the barracks somewhere.

15. Bad habits: If she's not fighting, she knows of exactly three things to do with her hands: sketching, fiddling with her shield, or standing at attention. She has nearly boundless physical energy, and finds it hard to sit still in general.

16. Biggest regret: Bucky. She should have been able to save him somehow.

17. Best kept secrets: Even though she does not have much of a secret identity, she will rarely talk much about the war when she is in civilian mode, or her personal life when she is in captain mode. And when in doubt, she's in captain mode, no matter what she's wearing.

18. Last thought: Again, I can sort of take this as her last thought before her temporary death, as she fell into the ice, which was pretty much Buckyyyyyyy!

19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: Overhearing one too many soldiers calling her mannish and ugly and not a woman at all.

20. Biggest insecurity: Everybody she gets close to dies.
