character survey
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Ffff definitely heavyset. This baby is built Ford tough and he's tall. See those broad shoulders and huge biceps? Yeah, he was made to support a woman.
... I mean.
2. How old is he?
I'm gonna say around 18-20.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Slouching is for the weak. This boy is a manly man; he carries himself well.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Hahaha, oh yeah he's more than fit.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Despite his stature, Terra actually moves pretty well. He might not be as fast as Ven or as graceful as Aqua, but his movements for the most part are pretty fluid and sure.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
I'd say he's quite the looker. I mean, look at that build. Plus, his face is easy on the eyes and you gotta love the hair. As for how he sees himself, he probably doesn't see himself as attractive or anything (he is half Disney after all), but as an apprentice, I'm sure he knows how to make himself look presentable and stuff like that.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
I wouldn't say he's dark, but he's not pale like Riku either. I think "sun-kissed" would be a better term. B)
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Dark brown. As for the style, pffft. It's spiked in a way that makes it look like a duck's ass from the side. I'm serious. Just look at his icons.
9. What color are his eyes?
Blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
A lot of people say his pants look like a skirt. 8|
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Pff... everywhere? Being Master Eraqus' apprentice means he trains all the time, not including his sparring matches with Ven and Aqua. I'd imagine he gets hurt pretty often, though he probably has a high pain threshold.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Form fittingly casual? I mean, his shirt really does a nice job of showing off his muscles, though his pants are loose which makes movement easier. His wardrobe is pretty simple compared to Aqua's and Ven's, and he mostly wears warm and earthy (HURHUR) colors.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
His shirt fits more than well. I'd say he seems pretty comfortable in them.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
LMAO he wears the same thing all the time.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
BOXER-BRIEFS. X(
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Terra's voice isn't super deep, but it's a nice alto. Very smooth, too.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He speaks evenly at a moderate pace, not too fast or slow. He doesn't always lash out in most circumstances and very rarely hesitates.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nope.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Ffff whatever language they speak in Kingdom Hearts. He grew up with it so he's fluent.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He doesn't usually speak without thinking, so I wouldn't really peg him as an impromptu speaker. He knows what he's doing and has a good handle in most situations so I'd say he usually runs his words through before he speaks.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
He's not inarticulate, but I don't think he's particularly eloquent. Maybe somewhere in the middle? Of course when he gets surprised or caught off guard, he might blank out for a bit.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
FFFFF ALMOST NO ONE GOES TO SCHOOL IN KINGDOM HEARTS? At least not the main characters. orz Still, Master Eraqus was a smart guy, so I'd imagine he taught Terra everything he knew. As such, I'd say Terra's pretty intelligent with a good mix of book and street smarts. Still, his book smarts are probably not on par with, you know, Zexion's.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He's a little bit of both. It really depends on the situation. He's very hasty when the safety of his friends are threatened, as he's shown to get into an almost blind rage. Most of the time, though, he thinks before he does things. He might not come up with the right solution, but he takes time to weigh his options.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
I'd say he's pretty intuitive yet practical.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
... N/A 8(
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
BEING EVERYONE'S BIG BRO. Terra is very supportive and never hesitates to try and motivate his friends (especially Ven) to do better. He's a good teacher in the sense that he always has good advice to give and always tries to make sure everyone does their best.
Other than that he is... good in... fighting and wielding a Keyblade. :| I think he'd be interested in learning more about how to control his darkness to become a Master like Aqua.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
I'd say somewhere in the middle.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Terra is very driven in his dream to become a Master, however, he's usually even-tempered. But this is easily changed when it comes to his friends.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He's welcoming to new people and likes getting to know them.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Ffff... fight, definitely.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Uhhh probably not bathroom or gallows humor, but it doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate jokes. He likes to poke fun at Aqua and Ven too, though it's mostly brotherly teasing.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Prrrooobably not. He's still half Disney, guys.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
The moment he realized his dream to become a Keyblade Master... and then later, not being able to achieve it.
14. What does he fear?
The Darkness in him and not being able to protect the people he cares about.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
Becoming a Keyblade Master.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
I don't think Terra is really the secretive type, mostly because he can't hide anything from Ven and Aqua. Though I think he probably doesn't really want them to know how he's wary about the Darkness in him.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Unknown.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
He's pretty much like an older brother to Aqua and Ven. Their relationship is very strong, despite everything they've been through.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Nope.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Eraqus: this guy is pretty much his dad. He respects him very much and looks up to him. Friends he's made on other worlds would probably be considered part of his family too.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Ven and Aqua. He pretty much knew Aqua his whole life but had met Ven when they were both eleven and fifteen respectively. He was excited to meet him and asked him a few questions, resulting in Ven screaming in agony and getting into a coma. 8( He still feels bad about that, though it's funny how they became bffs so easily.
6. Does he have other close friends?
LMAO THAT'S A LOT ALREADY.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He makes friends pretty easily, like how he pretty much became Ven's bro not long after he met him. He's not exactly anti-social either, so he's naturally approachable.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
They kind of mean the same to him. :|a
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Nope.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
LMAO HE DIDN'T HAVE ONE?
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
I think someone who can accept him for who he is, for both his failures and achievements. Someone who will be there for him just as much as he will for them.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
I.... honestly have no idea.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Ohhhh yeah. 8|
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
I'm... gonna say straight. Though I'd give him a 1, probably.
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
Ffff HALF DISNEY, GUYS, HE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS. Though I guess if he was asked, he'd say that "it's something special that's shared between two people who care deeply about each other". 8| As for how important it is, I'd say not really.
This isn't to say he's not affectionate, however. He's always egging Ven on with friendly headlocks and hair rufflings, not so much with Aqua though because. Well. She's a girl. :|
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
HE... DOESN'T HAVE ANY? orz
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Noooo idea.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Lmao neither. And he's got more important shit to deal with. Seriously.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Well, being that he's training to become a Master, I'm sure there's a code/set of rules he has to abide by. The only time he blatantly compromises it was when he took up his Keyblade against Eraqus in order to save Ven.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
I think Terra isn't really closed off or stubborn. As long as it sounds reasonable, I think he's okay with it.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
... I can't really think of any. :|a
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
LMAO N/A
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
N/A
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
He... lives in a house. A big one. Pretty sure it's more than just a place for him to crash in, he seems like a pretty neat person (not to mention Eraqus would probably kick his ass if he was messy or something). He shares it with his Master, Ven, and Aqua.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Probably just the basic necessities lmao.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
HE'S AN APPRENTICE and he loves it.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
... Sparring. And eating ice cream. That's pretty much it. /sob
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
Well, he looks more than healthy so I'd imagine he eats his meals and focuses on healthy things. I honestly doubt he drinks alcohol THIS IS DISNEY GUYS, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN IS AN EXCEPTION.
