it's like five in the morning. I am back from utah, and I want to say a lot of things, but I'll leave that till later. instead...
nabbed this one from klar's DA journal. *naughty*
1) What's your character's name? Kehlkeppe
Prefers: Kehlkeppe
2) How old is he/she? 32. he will live to be about 180-200 if he is not chewed up by something bigger than he is.
3) Is your OC a boy or girl? male
4) What's his/her race? mer. though not really a conventional merperson, is he?
Appearance:
1) If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get? I am guessing that this means a regular human civilization. if so, either he would get a whole ton of stares or no stares at all, depending on whether or not the humans were willing to believe that he existed. in his merperson society he would also recieve a lot of stares, because that is generally what the merpeople are best at. staring. it is their favorite activity.
2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world? yes. he is sort of a middle-rank nobleman, but ranks are difficult to distinguish with his folk.
3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)? half of his body is a fish. other than that, he's got lots of spines, and he is stripy.
4) Would you consider your OC attractive? he's beautiful, but in a very not-human way. he has an extra set of eyelids, for instance, no pupils, hair that is made out of what feels like sea kelp (although right now his hair is all shaved off), no nipples, sharp teeth, and his mammalhood is questionable. he also has this habit of vomiting water on people's faces.
Personality:
1) Temper: doesn't really have one. well, he does sometimes, but it's hard to tell with him. if he is happy he stares at you, and if he is angry at you he stares at you. like that cartoon of the cocker spaniel mood changes where the caption is different in each panel but the dog's face stays exactly the same.
2) Does your character ever get depressed? sometimes he gets mopey like a goldfish. this is usually brought on by boredom or loneliness or whatnot. kehlkeppe is not prone to depression because it's a fairly useless mindset.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality? probably arrogance. he thinks he is too cool for school.
History:
1) Does your OC have a family of any sort? he has a mother, a father, and like nine siblings, all of them spiny and stripy.
2) Is your character out on his/her own? yep. at least as far as his own species is concerned.
3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events? he was netted eleven or twelve years ago and put into an aquarium. this was not traumatizing, per se, because kehlkeppe tends not to be traumatized, but the following years of captivity certainly did do something to his brain.
4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far? before he was netted. hanging out with ouesh and them, and terrorizing Japanese whaling fleets, and hunting sharks.
Romance:
1) Single? Yep.
2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships? no. his species does not tend to be romantic.
3) Virgin? hahahahahahaasnort. no.
4) Does your character like flirting? no, unless you count the way he looks at humans with his big googly lonely-face and a plaintive outstretched hand so he can lure them in and try to eat them.
Symbolism:
1) What animal would you associate your OC with? a fish.
2) Musical Instrument? probably a violin, or maybe bagpipes.
3) Element? water?
4) Planet? I think the person who wrote this meme enjoys crystal healing as a side hobby
Showing the Love:
1) Do you draw your character? seldom.
2) Do you write about him/her? yes, when roleplaying
3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs? I roleplay him over AIM sometimes, and that is all. haven't in a while.
4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC? sometimes when I am angry at someone, I daydream about them suddenly finding out the hard way that kehlkeppe lives in their bathtub. or at least I should.
RANDOMIZE!
1) Is your character wanted for anything? no. kind of hard to be wanted for something when you live in an aquarium.
2) What are three weaknesses in him/her? his species is very social and pack-oriented. they generally sleep in big heaps like hamsters or kittens by instinct, so since kehlkeppe is seperated from them, he is lonely when he sleeps. this has made him sort of erratic. now he will try to cozy up to practically anything. once he was put in a tank right next to a couple of manatees, and he practically kicked his own bucket trying to get to them for a snuggle, despite the fact that there was glass between them and he really couldn't. that is really all I can think of.
3) Strengths? he's pretty much a beast. his spines contain neurotoxins, and he's poisonous enough to kill a hippo within five minutes. his jaws also have the crushing strength of... something with a lot more crushing strength than a human. and he can smell blood in the water from like a mile away.
4) Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)? he breathes water. does that count?
5) What's one quirk about him/her? he likes having his gills petted.
6) Does your character have any phobias? nope. he doesn't like being alone though.
7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage? kehlkeppe is incapable of experiencing a blind rage.
8) Does your OC like chickens? they are delicious.
The Final Question:
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like? I think that anyone who can poison a hippo to death within five minutes pretty much just kicks ass.
