Verity's Book 2.0

How Well Do You Know... Your Character?

*rubs hands gleefully* I'm always up for wasting more time.

After three takes and different combos of different characters, I decided to go about this differently. I know this is to test how well you know your character, but I could have answered all of these for any of my main characters and quite a few sides. I found myself getting bored with some questions and deciding to switch characters, only to find that the interesting questions with the first character were boring with the second character. And frankly, I don't want to waste my time being bored. I want to waste it having fun.

Therefore...

*flourishes*

I bring you Verity's take on the how-well-do-you-know-your-character tag. In which I answer each question with the character that has the most interesting answer. And occasionally this means answering with multiple characters. ;)

I divvied these largely between my main favorites, a.k.a. Mordred, Jeddy lad, and Berethar, but I tried to also include a fair selection of secondary characters.

3, 2, 1, showtime!

Psychological Questions

What does your character want most?

Mordred

Home.

Chase out whatever picture entered your head, because it's wrong. Mordred's not a soft, precious, smol golden-hearted bean who spends his days wishing he had a home.

He's a soft, precious, smol golden-hearted bean who thinks he's tough and has no idea that he wants home.

He doesn't know that the other things he wants are just symptoms of his deepest craving.

For almost three books, he hasn't got a clue.

Therelane

Therelane wants the approval of others. He wants to be noticed, liked, accepted. He's shy and lack self-motivation, though, so that makes things difficult...

What do they fear the most?

Berethar

Berethar fears captivity. Like, really fears it. So much that it partially defines him during Starlight Under Clouds. And Berethar's not afraid of a lot. Irrationality has a very small place in his life, so the things he fears are the things he has experienced and knows in their bitterest sense.

But Berethar fears one thing more than captivity, and that's himself.

What is their worst habit?

Berethar

A tendency to assert control to an unhealthy degree when it serves his interests. He has a certain degree of forceful charisma, which he is aware of and may abuse.

Jeddy is trying to butt in here...

Jeddy: "I disagree. Berethar's worst habit is not telling me anything. Including when he gets injured."

Berethar: "What is the point of telling you if I can manage?"

Jeddy: "That's right! 'I can manage'. You can manage and then you collapse when there's no more need to be 'managing'. At least you don't--"

Mordred: "I'm sorry, Berethar, I agree with Jedediah Crayes about the injury part."

Jeddy: "--have the audacity to say 'I'm fine' like some people I could mention."

WHOA WHOA WHOA

I let one person say one thing and suddenly y'all are trying to assert your first amendment rights. Characters these days.
