WORLD DESTROYING MONSTERS AJlsfkjs

Studying, it eats me whole and makes me sweat, but it also makes me want to get up on my feet and destroy the world with huge chunks of information asfjlahsg keyboardsmash.

I want to do almost anything but revise right now; I want to write Tseng being unafraid and Sector 7ish, I want to write Dick being hugely angry and yet still bright, I want to write Bruce without the Wayne or the Batman, I want to write Reno as I first saw him walking over flowers with a magrod over his shoulder, I want (almost but not quite) to watch Estraven take the world down with him, freeze it up and make it Winter all over again.

Mostly I WILL DO THESE THINGS, but not until I eat my textbook.

Meanwhile, a shorter version of the above: memetime! Snagged off [livejournal.com profile] sister_coyote.

Pick a character that I have written -- or maybe even a character you could see me writing, if I know her -- then 5 numbers between 1 and 100. Comment with the character name and the five numbers, and I'll answer the five corresponding questions from this list.

For very best results, a character I've written more than once, as I have better headcanon the more I write someone, but I'll give other characters a shot. I'll take the same character more than once as long as the numbers are different.

My caveat lector is that my response to your question will probably not be standard-standard: the way I write a character fluctuates a whole lot, so the answers you get probably != the way characters are in any one of the fics I've done. 8D

[edit] Convenient happy fandom list (non-exhaustive): Final Fantasy VII/XII, Batman and family, Oceans and family, most of Tolkien, Fullmetal Alchemist, Baccano!, Samurai Champloo, most non-Earthsea Le Guin, Pratchett!

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?

Nah, I'm an only child. Broke my parents hearts when I told them I wanted to be in SOLDIER, which is pretty much why I worked so hard to get good at it. They were pretty proud, eventually, but it took them a while to come around.

8. To which social class do you belong?

It's a real good old fashion Midgar question to ask, right? Back in Gongaga we never really thought about that kinda thing. I'm me, you're you, we're all one big happy. These days in the city I guess I'm a SOLDIER, which is "class" enough considering Shinra owns, like, 99% of the place.

42. What are your religious views?

Don't really have any! Just want to go through life as a good person. I'm pretty sure that what goes around comes around - you reap what you sow, and all of that.

73. What is your favorite food?

Mum's homecooked stuff. There's this really cool 24 hour place down 7th that serves chilli dogs that you wouldn't believe. And then there's a hole in the wall deli just outside of Plate-8th that the suits go to that actually isn't half bad. And ---

Man, I'm from SOLDIER. Anything that does come out of a packet, a can or the ground tastes like heaven to me.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Sometimes I sorta wish I could stop my mouth from running off without my head's permission, y'know? But it's not like something I really wanna change. I'm a happy guy, so sue me.

*laughs* Those are awesome. I love how, in this (and all the other's you've answered), you manage to get the character's "voice" in there even in the short space of a few lines. *grin*

The thing about food is one I've always been interested by - I've seen two different portrayals of SOLDIERs and food. One side says that they'll pretty much eat anything, because they need the fuel for their bodies (like teenaged boys, you know?), and the other side says that they tend to be picky as hell and have various sensativities because the mako enhances senses. All senses, including taste. I can honestly see both sides of it, but yah. I personally believe that even if Zack weren't a SOLDIER, he'd be one of those guys who just likes food.

Sephiroth: THE RIGHT OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM.

No, I take that back. Genesis. Genesis probably wouldn't eat anything that cost less than half his hand. Or anything with apples in it.
