Tagged by the lovely jojo-deer I'm typing this v late at night so apologies if anything's a but incoherent. There's also some stuff here that people probably wont know about this character because I haven't talked backstories in a while. Still keeping things kinda vague to avoid any major spoilers tho
- Character Name: James Richter
- Age: early-mid 30s (I don't have exact set ages for my ocs, but this is roughly where I place him)
- Gender: Male
- Ref:
1) If your character found a valuable piece of jewelry someone had obviously lost, what would they do? He'd almost definitely take it and sell it on. Only exception is if it belonged to Blanco or someone else he might be scared of, then he'd return it.
2) Would your character trade one of their prized possessions for a magic wand that grants wishes?
Absolutely! He doesn't have a whole lot of attachment to material things tbh, so being able to have that kind of power would be way more appealing to him.
3) How does your character feel about themselves? Why do they feel this way?
Conflicted. He has a real self love-self loathe thing going on. He was treated very poorly by parents and his ex and that affected him more than he'd like to admit. But at the same time he's got a whole lot of confidence in his work bc of the power it gives him. This boy is messed up.
4) Does your character have a favorite personal belonging? What is it, and why?
I've never actually drawn him wearing them (idk why I'm just forgetful) but his military dog tags mean a lot to him. Again, he feels very conflicted as they remind him of a terrible time, but also motivate him to stay strong in a weird way.
5) Does your character have any personal hobbies? If so, what do they consist of?
He gets most of his enjoyment from his work (because cutting up and torturing people sure is a great hobby). He also used to play piano growing up, but dropped that hobby when he was older. Do liquor and drugs count as a hobby too?
6) What's the last thing your character got in trouble for? Why did they do it?
He got banned from Frankie's club for stealing/not paying for drinks and causing fights by insulting other patrons and proceeding to run once a bar room brawl starts.
7) Has your character ever had a first crush? If so, how do they feel about them now?
The woman James was arranged to be married to (I think I called her Lizzie idk), wasn't necessarily a 'crush'. James had some feelings towards her, but the relationship was rushed, a lot of bad things happened, and things fell apart before he could really understand how he felt about her. Then there's Blitz, who he DEFINITELY had a crush on, they had a pretty good, if a little messed up, relationship. But stuff happened and they were separated for a good few years and James was left feeling very bitter about the whole situation.
8) Who is your character's best friend? If they don't have one, do they have a first best friend?
Both Blitz and Molly could both be considered his best friends at different times. They're two of the few people he's genuinely bonded with in his life.
9) If your character was responsible for the death of a loved one, how would they feel afterwards?
If he was responsible for the death of someone he genuinely cared about he'd probably try and brush it off. Internally he'd be feeling pretty damn bad about it though.
10) If your character found the private journal of an enemy/person they heavily dislike, would they read the journal?
Definitely! He'd use it to learn more about the weaknesses and secrets of those he hates.
