Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

this was a rather interesting idea of SkyGate's (friend in guild) and really let's a person get to know the character in question
Character Meme
Rules:
a) Use as many characters as you please.
b) If you're a big freak about staying in character, I'd recommend that YOU answer. Not your character/s because, let's face it, not all characters would spill their beans.
c) You don't have to tag anyone, but it's highly expected.
d) Don't worry too much about grammar--this is development. Not an English test.

2c.Where were they born? he was born in Romania but circumstances took him elsewhere later on

3a. What's their race? Human, vampire, furry? Hybrid of some sort? he's human, but his lack of sight has heightened his other senses and given him the ability to feel other people's auras, the energy that surrounds all things

1c. What job would they rather have? he's happy where he is.

2a. What are their religious views? Rame isn't religious exactly, tho he has his own views and takes what makes sense from all and puts them in his own. so one would say he has his own religion

Section 3: Psychology

1a. Describe their basic personality. He's quiet for the most part and can be very focused on a goal, but he is prone to moments of spacing out and random mutterings. He isn't very protective unless it's a part of his task and is methodical in short term plans. Though he can't plan anything drawn out at all. If it goes too long, he improvises. He can be quite the daredevil at times as well.

2a. What part of their personality really stands out? If any part? maybe the ability to improv. as most of his plans tend to be among the long drawn out type. his acting skills are impressive as well

3a. How do they view life? Are they an optimist? Pessimist? Realist? Idealist? he views it at face value. life is a gift but it isn't free. eventually it will have to be given back. so I guess realist would fit best.

4a. When it comes to making a tough decision, do they rely on thought or feeling? Faith or fact? like mentioned before, Rame improvises most of the time, and is a daredevil, so it's usually nothing until he's actually in the middle. then once there, he can think his way through

5a. Do they have a sense of humor? of yes. he'd have to what with the other people in his group. otherwise, it would be highly uncomfortable or mentally draining

7a. What do they desire from life? to keep it as long as he is able.

8a. What are they afraid of? he would be afraid of losing one of his comrades, three of which aren't even in their twenties. to him that is a failed mission and he never wants to see that happen

9a. Are they superstitious about anything? to some extent. usually only the whole "say something bad and it will happen" sort of thing. because it has always come true for him

10b. How well are these secrets kept? very well. sometimes even he forgets them.

Section 3: Mental Abilities

1a. What can/cannot they do mentally? (e.i. IQ, certain school subjects, mental/emotional health). considering he never actually went to school, he has a decent IQ level, excels at spur of the moment thinking, and can react almost before he thinks about moving. Rame has good control over his emotions, his personal training exercises help maintain that as well as other specific training

1b. What are they strongest at? thinking on his feet and reading the tiniest vibrations in the air or ground

4c. For how long? he never got passed the kindergarten stage

Section 4: History

1b. What do they remember the most about it? the constant feeling that something was going to happen. the heavy pressure of a storm building but not breaking. and of losing his sight

2a. What were/are their teen years like? a whirlwind of fighting, training, and death. this was when he starting doing his current job.

3a. What have they had to struggle to accomplish? to not rely on sight as a means of getting around and using his other abilities instead, tho currently he's been blind longer than with sight so it's just a distant memory now

4a. What do they regret the most, if anything? nothing. he takes life one step at a time. the moment he regrets is the time he has to give back what was given

5a. How did they end up on their current path? Was it their choice? He chose this after learning of his parents' secret. and the pay offered was an easy sell
