SURVEY TIME. FOR THE FIVE MILLIONTH TIME.
These first two are original character surveys. Enjoy. <3
BASICS1)What's your character's name?Verdenien Azra'èl aka Thomas Andersen
note: Verdenien is his surname, and he only shares it with his twin (Yuri) and not his other brothers, for reasons only known to his eldest brother (and 'father figure'), Michael.
note 2: he does go by Tom often but he prefers to be called Thomas.
2)How old is he/she?unknown, thousands of years; passes off as mid- to late-twenties
note: in REAL years, roughly five or six years old. I created him in middle school.
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?all man. xD
4)What's his/her race?Eternal (angeliix)
note: both he and his twin were greatly feared when they were born, because of their unnatural manner of birth, but Thomas was the more feared because of his dark features, commonly associated with demons and fae creatures. His twin, both older and less feared, would protect him from others.
APPEARANCE1)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?a lot. Ohhhhhh, a ton. Picture those lame clothing/makeup commercials where you see some supermodel walking down a downtown street and everyone's gawking at her...just replace the supermodel with him and there ya go. xD
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?yeah, he's a teacher. Fairly normal. Except that all the girls stay after class in an attempt to receive some, er, extra credit. And not being one to disappoint, he usually picks the ones he deems worthy. What a sick, sick man. [laughs]
3)What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?height (6'5"), great hair, great style, his beautiful "Asian" eyes.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?overly so.
PERSONALITY1)Temper?he keeps a cool facade but he can go over the edge--and for little things, too. He has killed men for calling him womanly.
(see number 3's note below.)2)Does your character ever get depressed?not really, but he does have his brooding moments. Don't we all?
3)Leader or Follower?Leader, definitely.
note: he does not like to be submissive or viewed as weak or effete in any way. Yuri's childhood dominance over him made sure of this. If you were to call him womanly, he would take it as a great offense.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?charm. Lots and lots of charm. Everything so far makes him seem kind of shady and horrible, but he's really a nice guy.
HISTORY1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?yes, he has four brothers, all alive. One of them is his twin, Yuri. He doesn't like Yuri very much, and would go so far as to say he hates him, but there's a part of him that's still very attached.
2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?yes, he lives in a high-rise apartment, very cosmopolitan. When he was young, he escaped from his angelic home during a war, taking the side opposite Yuri--the side of Hell.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?quite a few...but oddly enough, none haunt him as much as his youth. He's even forcefully blocked memories of Yuri out of his mind, but not all. He often wakes up with nosebleeds after nightmares about Yuri. Pretty extreme, ne? [laughs] A very abused child, this one....
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?getting away from Yuri and finding a true father figure in Lucifiel, the Prince of Hell.
ROMANCE1) Single?more or less.
2) Had your OC developed any romantic relationships?only all the time. xD
3) Virgin?ahahahahahahaha! no way. xD
4) Does your character like flirting?yep.
SYMBOLISM1) What animal would you associate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!)cat. Even though he HATES cats. (And is deeply scared of them, but he won't admit that. [laughs])
2) Musical Instrument?piano. And he plays it beautifully. <3
3) Element?water. Mercurial, smooth but sometimes choppy, sometimes calm and sometimes rough, but always beautiful.
4)Planet?Neptune.
SHOWING THE LOVE1) Do you draw your character?yeah, but nowhere near as much as I used to. I used to draw him just about every day back in high school.
2) Do you write about him/her?I used to, but I haven't written anything good about him in years. I'm planning on revamping his story.
3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?Nah.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?I celebrate his birthday like it's my own. I don't care about my own birthday, but I care about his. Kind of fucked up...hahaha.
RANDOMIZE!1) Is your character wanted for anything?sex? xD;
2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?women, finding it hard to make lasting relationships with people, his twin (well, Yuri's scary, I don't blame him, haha)
3) Strengths?jeez, everything. Intelligence, especially.
4) Does your OC drink or smoke (etc.)?Yeah, both. >.<;
5) What's one quirk about him/her?tends to run his hands through his hair when he's nervous. He also hates being called 'dearest' or 'my love'...I'll give you three guesses as to why! [laughs]
6) Does your character have any phobias?the cats, the caaaaats! xD
note: oddly, he has a 'pet' cat called Vicomte de Valmont, after the character in Choderlos de Laclos's
Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Valmont is a stray, apparently, a black cat with odd blue eyes. What Thomas doesn't know is that the cat is actually Lucifiel in disguise. Not a cat you want watching you in the shower...which he often does. xD
7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?hurt someone he loves, call him womanly, or pester him with a cat. Wahaha. >D
8) Does your OC like chickens?to eat? yum. (he's a great cook.)
THE FINAL QUESTION- What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?Great! I know him just about inside out. [laughs] I can tell you he wears boxer briefs under those sexy pants of his! And that two of the few things he DOES suck at are air hockey and salsa dancing. xD
And now for the flip side...
BASICS1) What's your character's name?Verdenien Uriel "Yuri" aka Aisden Silver
note: he originally pronounced his name as oo-ri-yel but his younger twin insisted on calling him Yuri when they were young. So there you go. Also, he places the emphasis on the second syllable--Yu-RII as opposed to YOOR-ree--making for a distinctly different sound, and a harder-sounding R (sometimes sounds like a D, not an R). Damn what a useless note this is. XD
2) How old is he/she?unknown, very ancient. He's almost a full year older than his twin, Thomas. "But they're TWINS." Yes, I know. [laughs] They weren't born in the same way humans are. They were borne of a seed. "Seed?!" Yes, a literal seed. XD
note: in actual years, perhaps four. He was the last introduced of all Tom's brothers, oddly enough. Edward (Raphael) held the distinction of being Tom's closest brother earlier than Yuri did. But later it evolved into a pairs thing--Tom and Yuri, Edward and Gabriel, and Michael on his own because he's an asshole. [laughs] Yuri evolved out of the now-gone Arael character--Tom's sister/lover. He also came about from a need of more craziness, as Dmitri (a vampire, also now-gone) was the only really fucked-up character in the story. Yet now it seems like he and LJ are the only sane ones...well, just LJ now. Ah, evolution of stories. It's a strange business. xD
3) Is your OC a boy or girl?kinda androgynous looking, but he's a dude. [laughs]
4) What's his/her race?Eternal (Angeliix)
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?quite a few...he's rather creepy looking and pale.
2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?I don't think so, no. [laughs] He's a bit of a freak. He's also not what you'd call the ideal 'angel'.
3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?height (6'6"), long white hair, pale eyes, pale skin, his creepy whispery voice (he usually doesn't like to speak in English, either). If he speaks clearly, his voice is actually rather deep and booming--rather intimidating. Not a person you want yelling at you.
4) Would you consider your OC as attractive?in a scary way, yes. [laughs] he can be rather beautiful when he's not too busy being some weird stalker and actually tends to his appearance. xD He's also pretty cute when he smiles...just don't tell him I said that, eh? >.>
PERSONALITY1) Temper?He is calm on the outside, but if he's angry, you know it, even if his expression hasn't changed.
2) Does your character ever get depressed?Yes, sometimes, especially concerning his twin. He sometimes regrets the way he acted when they were younger, and truly loves his brother, but the love is clearly not mutual.
3) Leader or Follower?Not too sure. He's very dominant in personality, yet he really doesn't care and goes whichever way is easiest for him. He doesn't like work in any way.
4) What is the main aspect of his/her personality?CREEPINESS. [shudders]
HISTORY1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?Yes, he has four brothers, all of them alive, including his twin, Thomas. He doesn't really care for any of his brothers, as they tended to exclude the twins from all activities. This led to Yuri and Tom becoming outcasts and trusting only each other--until Yuri broke that trust.
2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?Yes...just...because. [laughs] He craves solitude.
3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?Yeah, quite a few but not as many as Thomas has. He's been at the front of many wars, because his killing skills are...quite valued. It sort of fucked up his brain through the years, though...as anyone can see. [laughs]
4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?Not sure.
ROMANCE1) Single?Yes, he doesn't care for company.
2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?Very few, if any. He cares only for his twin, and declares Thomas to be his "only love". Many women have wanted him, but Yuri [drumroll] is a misogynist and thinks women are "disgusting little creatures who should be lined up and shot like the trash that they are". [laughs] Well, I guess it's not so funny when he actually goes out and slaps around random women he finds walking on the street just to take out his anger....
...okay, yeah it is. Snrrrrk. xD
3) Virgin?No, not a virgin. He's such a rapist, he couldn't be a virgin. [laughs]
4) Does your character like flirting?I don't think he knows the meaning of the word.
SYMBOLISM1) What animal would you associate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!)A snake. Appropriate in every way...slithery, cunning, oddly sexual...and that hiss-like voice of his.
2) Musical Instrument?Bells. Creepy, creepy bells.
3) Element?Air, maybe? Not sure about this, he's an odd character. Does Ice count as an element? It's odd, though, Yuri has the power of fire...except it's not normal fire, it's white, and like ice. (Coldfire, anyone? XD)
4) Planet?PLUTO ISN'T A PLANET ANYMORE D:
[laughs] No, it would probably be Uranus, or something. I could make up a cliche joke about that, but I won't, for everyone's sake. xD
SHOWING THE LOVE1) Do you draw your character?Yes, sometimes. A lot, lately.
2) Do you write about him/her?Not really, he's very difficult to write about. Very disturbed individual. [laughs] I think the very first thing I ever wrote about him was a chapter where he was having an orgasmic little time to himself, thinking about Thomas. Waow. xD;
3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?Nope.
4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?I've...I'VE SLEPT WITH HIM D:
No, I don't think I have "appreciated" him in any other way. [laughs]
RANDOMIZE1) Is your character wanted for anything?Probably, the fucking sadist. [laughs]
2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?he's a bit psychotic, self-centered, and of course, wholly obsessed with his twin.
3) Strengths?quick (physically and mentally), intelligent, manipulative. Well, he'd say that's a strength. XD
4) Does your OC drink or smoke (etc.)?no, not that I know of. He'd probably find such things 'vile'...
5) What's one quirk about him/her?just ONE? [laughs] I just HAVE to list a few:
- he has some odd fetish for white fluffy things, especially bunnies
- he likes to keep his nails disturbingly long (often painted black and razor-sharp)
- loves the cold
- likes to change his hair a lot (black and white, long and short)
- nearly always wears white, and at other times black. Rarely any other colours.
6) Does your character have any phobias?HEAT. He can't even stand ROOM TEMPERATURE. [laughs] He loves walking around naked with air conditioning on full blast. Kind of...hrm. XD
7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?He hates seeing his twin with a WOMAN. And it happens. ALL THE TIME. [laughs] If you ever hear about a woman being mysteriously beaten by a strange 'albino' man, it's because of that. xD
8) Does your OC like chickens?No, but he likes ice cream. <3
