insertmeathere | 10 Things You Didn't Know

o1. He has 2 younger brothers, and 2 older sisters back in France.
o2. He was kicked out of his home at a young age [5 or so] in order to have a better life.
o3. His true age is not known, but he appears to be eleven [a very small eleven]
o4. His favorite food is eggs.
o5. He has pick-pocketed his own father.
o6. That same father, did not recognize him after being released/escaping from prison.
o7. His role model is a student-revolutionary named Enjolras
o8. He is illiterate
o9. He picked out his own name.
1o. He used to live in a statue of Napoleon Bonaparte.

1. Received his entire primary and secondary education, age 5 through 17, in a one-room school setting held in the Pueblo village church. By age 14 he was actually smarter than the teacher.
2. On a related note, he had read and mostly understood every book in the village by age 10. His grandfather started purchasing a new book or two every time he went into the city.
3. The university he attended/worked at was the Universidad de Complutense in Madrid.
4. His little black book contains over 30 entries. He does not brag about this unless you get a few drinks in him.
5. He actually wears glasses while working or reading. He doesn't wear them the rest of the time because he feels like it works against the image he's trying to give off.
6. He barely remembers his parents, who left him with his grandfather when he was very small and never returned. He doesn't resent them for this nearly as much as you might expect.
7. Closet Catholic. He won't tell you so.
8. While he's working in the lab, he listens almost exclusively to opera music.
9. He never really got along with his former (evil) employer, Osmund Saddler. He found Saddler stuffy and oppressive, and Saddler found him insolent and rebellious. He'd often work little vengeance plots against Saddler where he could. It's really no wonder Saddler ended up killing him...
10. Technically, he's not really a doctor. Luis was 14 pages away from finishing his doctoral thesis when he was called away from university to investigate the Las Plagas outbreak. He will not be admitting this to anyone-- since, as far as he's concerned, he knows as much as he would if he was a doctor, so the rest is just paperwork.

I did this one the first time (I swear we did it before but I can't find the post in this comm) but let's try it again and see if I can come up with different ones!

1. Billy loves theatre. He hasn't tried much acting himself, but he worked as the director of Angel Grove High's school plays. The performances and the costumes appeal to him---the chance for people to assume new identities and expose new aspects of their personalities.

2. He spent much of his childhood with the rest of the first Ranger team trying to fit in with them by sharing in their hobbies, because he was told that inventing things in the garage 'isn't a real hobby' and that he was wasting his life away. He tried volleyball lessons with Trini, karate lessons with Jason, guitar and gymnastics lessons with Kimberly, and dance lessons with Zack. At various points during the series he displays all those talents in small doses.

3. Billy is a big-time approval seeker. He likes doing things for the benefit and entertainment of others, whether it's an impressive science project, homework help, or a brilliant solution to a problem in battle. When he fails to live up to his own standards, he fears everyone will reject him.

4. Upon receiving his powers, Billy's first two applications of Ranger technology were to invent a communication/teleportation device and a flying car. Later, he also tried to expand the application of morphing technology to other uses by making a rubber chicken 'morph' into a Power Eagle.

5. Billy filled his foreign language requirement at Angel Grove High with a Latin correspondence course, because no teacher in Angel Grove knows Latin. He was drawn to the language by its importance to the history of science.

6. Related to the above, as a small child he owned a stuffed blue wolf named Lupus that he confided in and cuddled. He grew exasperated explaining to adult after adult that he named him after the Latin word for wolf, not the disease. Lupus sat on Billy's dresser right up until the day that the Ohm destroyed Angel Grove.

7. Billy seems to have trouble holding onto a relationship. He's had four different love interests in one year, and two of them in the span of three weeks, but none of them remained interested in him longer than a week. Ranger duties and secrets tend to kill any chance of love with outsiders. He's been kissed on the cheek once, but nothing further than that.

8. He learns best from instruction manuals. Give him a diagram of martial arts moves or a detailed football rulebook and he can play any game the more athletic members of the team can play.

9. Why was Billy, a reclusive nerd, in such good shape when the Rangers started fighting? Simple: he gained all that muscle and flexibility from running from bullies, from extra sports practice sessions in an attempt to avoid dragging the team down and being laughed at in gym class, and from pulling himself out of trash cans.

10. Billy hates having his ears tweaked. Seriously, don't do it. It's a sensitive spot.

1. 123 years old.
2. Named for her grandmother, who was the originator of the folklore creature known as the Satori (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satori_%28folklore%29).
3. Has over a hundred pets, and never gets any of them confused with each other.
4. One of her pets tried to destroy the world that one time.
5. She has a younger sister, who is more powerful, creepier, and nicer than she is. Her sister is one of the only flesh-and-blood people whose mind she cannot read.
6. Has never, technically, been outdoors in the sunlight.
7. 5'1" I'm running out of ideas.
8. Has never loved, mostly due to being avoided by almost everybody forever due to being creepy.
9. Favorite food is Okonomiyaki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okonomiyaki).
10. She likes reading books on psychology, because she feels like she has an advantage int he field.

1. Billy has two younger brothers, who just so happen to be twins.
2. His mother is a therapist.
3. Teddy isn't his first boyfriend, but is his first public one.
4. Billy had a crush on more than one member of his team.
5. He's terrified of zombies.
6. His favorite Avenger of all time is the Scarlet Witch. Who just so happens to be his mother.
7. Billy's terrified that the other mutants will see him as a danger, and thus shun him. This is why he has never gone to see them.
8. He has never been approached by Xavier, or anyone from the X-Men to join the school when his powers appeared. Because he didn't want them to come. (He used his powers)
9. His favorite movie is A New Hope.
10. He still has nightmares about his stay in 42.

1. Arsenal picked out her costume.

2. When she talks to people, she's got an odd habit of just not moving. Like, she'll put her hands on her hips and stay like that until she picks another pose. She isn't in a constant state of motion like humans are.

3. When she's alone and bored, she'll try to figure out new phrases to pepper her speech with. It doesn't always end well.

4. She scans, like. Everyone she meets. If she's talking to you, you're getting scanned.

5. Indigo enjoys going to dance clubs. Club dances are the only ones she's ever actually tried, though she technically knows some more.

6. She's never had normal sex. Shift tended to come apart during it, so she's only used to having freaky elemental shapeshifter sex.

7. Indigo enjoys old silent films and jazz/blues music more than most other forms of entertainment, and sometimes wishes that she could go back in time to see them when they first came out.

8. She very rarely experiences the negative side of emotions, and it freezes her up a bit. She doesn't know how to handle them, so she tries to bottle it up inside. It doesn't always end up well.

9. Indigo has problems meeting new people. When she was in her home universe, the only people she had prolonged contact with were the Outsiders, and a group of people that she went bowling with and did laundry for.

10. The only members of the Outsiders she really considered to be friends were Jade, Thunder, and Shift. Arsenal and Nightwing treated her like a tool, she wasn't fond of Jade, and she never really got to know Starfire that well.

Well-- okay I guess. Most of this is headcanon since he's a bit-part character, sob.

1) See that hat he wears? His mother knitted it for him. As for why it's so ridiculous-looking...
2) She got sick (probably from her husband's alchemy work) and died before it could be finished. Fletcher was four at the time. He carried it around for years until he'd grown enough to fit it.
3) He went through a phase when he was seven where he pretended to be able to talk to plants. He had his brother Russel fooled for about two days.
4) Russel and Fletcher have a semi-regular routine where Russel will put his head on Fletcher's head and comment, "You've grown." And Fletcher's response is, "Watch out, I'm gaining on you!"
5) He secretly yearns to be at least half a foot taller than Russel when he's grown up.
6) When Alphonse (spoilers) de-aged and lost his memory at the end of the series, Fletcher cried. A lot.
7) Is an atheist. Like probably most alchemists, actually.
8) Birthday is April 10.
9) Fletcher climbs trees like nobody's business. Don't even challenge him to a tree-climbing race because you will lose.
10) Has not had formal schooling in upwards of two years, but still knows more science than most of the adults in his village.

1. Steve is something of a gearhead. He can pilot a plane, drive most small motorized vehicles (including motorcycles) and knows very basic mechanics. His bedroom is plastered with posters from all his mechanics magazines (and some bikini babes.)
2. He was a fairly good student at school, getting mostly As and Bs except for in English and social studies, which he doesn't like. His favorite subjects were math, science and tech ed.
3. He had braces on up until the spring of his junior year of high school.
4. His favorite foods are any dishes made with potatoes or cheese, and plenty of them.
5. Steve played baseball for his high school team.
6. Medical settings like laboratories, hospitals or even clinics make him extremely uncomfortable after his stay on Rockfort (and the incident in Antarctica.) He's straight up frightened of needles.
7. He wasn't always such a little sullen jerk. Prior to being kidnapped by Umbrella, Steve was actually very sociable and had plenty of friends. You can still catch little snippets of this side of him if he's relaxed and comfortable around you.
8. He's the first redhead in the Burnside family since his grandfather, though otherwise he gets his looks from his mother's side of the family.
9. Since contracting T-Veronica, Steve's body temperature is a few degrees higher than normal-- if you touch him, it always feels like he's running a fever.
10. His full name is Steven and his middle name is Paul. He doesn't particularly like either of them.

1. She has kind of an odd diet. She doesn't eat any poultry or fowl. She rarely eats meat at all, and when she does it's usually some sort of fish. She has a lot of odd tastes after being raised by the Chozo. Between that and living off tasteless space food for years, she doesn't actually mind eating slop.

2. The Aran family was in a bit of a bind after Samus' birth. Her parents were expecting a boy. They would raise him to be a nice, strapping young man and take over his father's mining business. They would name him Seamus. After she was born, they apparently thought dropping one letter would make it into a girl's name.

3. She occasionally has to fight of the urge to start nesting.

4. She is a tall woman at 6'3" and weighs in at 198 lbs. This seems like a lot until you remember that she can probably bench press a car.

5. She practices Chozo meditation exercises. They calm her and help her keep focused in times of extreme danger. In non combat situations, she practices some type of Chozo yoga which may or may not seem impossible for normal human beings to bend into (but Samus can roll into a ball)

6. This guy (http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Houston) has a crush on Samus and will ask her out periodically. She always says no.

7. As it turns out, Chozo blood gives you an incredibly high alcohol tolerance. Samus makes use of this.

8. Everyday she feels the guilt of those she has let die. She feels like she's failed the task the Chozo trusted her with and feels awful because of it. But she's never let anyone see her mourn.

9. She's got one father and three more "Dads," Old Bird, Gray Voice, and Adam Malkovich

10. She loves the rain.

Hi, I have an app in. :D

1. He has four children, two males and two females.

2. He sent an assassin after the dwarf that told the Dark Knights about the female eggs.

3. He prefers venison over beef and other meats.

4. He can speak a few words of Draconic and Solamnic.

5. The one time he was captured by the Solamnic knights, he was almost killed by 'friendly fire,' aka a red dragon on his side that didn't care if the prisoners died as well as the captors.

6. He never learned how to cook beyond just roasting meat.

7. By the time he was two, he'd already reached adult stature and at three, he was an officer in the military.

8. He doesn't like sweet things, like candy or chocolate.

9. He once broke his wing on the way back from a raid on Celebundin.

10. He has no sisters, and has no idea which, if any, of the other bozak males are his brothers.

[note: Beka comes from the second book in the Provost's Dog series, this book is less than a year old, and some facts may include spoilers.]

o1. Beka is what is commonly called a police officer [for her, the term is guardsman/woman] however, it is during the early stages for the development of such. Because of this, bribes and the like are not frowned upon, but are part of her pay-checks.

o2. She grew up on the slums of the city, and was rescued from this life at the age of eight, (already though, she was learning the basics of filching) And entered training when she was fifteen.

o3. Police officers/guardsmen are called 'dogs' and because of this, her nick-name on the force is 'Terrier' as while she was still a trainee, she brought down one of the largest slum lords of the city. (who, in the same vein, was the father-in-law of one of her best friends.)

o4. She has a pet cat named Pounce, who in reality, is a constellation called 'The Cat' and Pounce contains the ability to speak, though most of the time, people do not understand him.

o5. She has bad luck when it comes to partners. The first dies in the summer of an epidemic, the red flux. Beka arrests her second partner because he took a bribe to ignore murder. Beka's third partner can't let his hands off her and so she tells him she would "lop his hands off if he put them on her again". He believes her and apparently requests another partner. So Beka is with her fourth partner by September of 247 HE. Her latest partner, Silsbee, thinks of her as being too eager for him and he, too, requests another partner and is subsequently transferred.

o6. She has the ability to listen to the voices of the dead, who ride on the backs of pigeons on their way to the realms of the dead. On rare circumstances, she is even able to communicate with them. [this is a trait she shares with her father and his side of the family]

o7. Her decedent, George Cooper, grows to become the King of Thieves.

o8. She wears, at all times, a bracelet of opals given to her by a gambler of the name Dale Rowan. During an investigation of false coin, it was believed he was involved, so she entered a relationship with him, to gain further information. [Work comes first for her]

o9. She chose to work in the lower city, in lieu of a more 'posh' position.

1o. Beka suffers from crippling shyness, especially when addresing those of higher rank and nobility. This does not appear to affect her while on duty, or in certain social situations (she enjoys dancing most of all, as it does not require talking to your partner.)

(fff this is completely unrelated to the actual meme but I squeed so much when I saw we had a Beka Cooper. I love Tamora Pierce XD)

(heee! I'm a HUGE fan, and actually have an Alanna in a Silent Hill game as well. I'm scared I'm not playing her right though, because all her canon material is in the wrong state.)

...

(*enables for a Rosto/Dale/George*)

Yaaay for being huge fans! (I own...pretty much every single book she's written XD), Oddly enough, I've never actually thought of picking up a Tamora Pierce character. I have no idea who I'd pick up if I did - my favourite books are the Trickster ones, and I have a soft spot for the Circle books, but fff there are so many characters! (and oddly enough, I think I saw a Pounce on dear_mun the other day. Who knew there were people rping it out there?)

HI THIS IS LIKE 95% HEADCANON SRY
1. Birthday is September 7; currently eighteen years old.
2. Has a pathological aversion to tomato soup whose origins he will not willingly divulge to anyone.
3. Favorite color is blue.
4. Is conversant in Swedish.
5. Keeps girlie mags stashed in a storage compartment in his Zoid's cockpit.
6. Dad was critically injured in a Zoid crash when Jamie was five. Jamie doesn't like to talk about it, partially because he has only fragmented memories of this period of time.
7. Used to have a split personality who eventually got his own body. They hated each other's guts.
8. Apparently has a ridiculously high tolerance for alcohol.
9. Misses his friends and family more than he will probably ever tell anyone, but copes by trying not to think about the fact that they're gone.
10. Back on the island, had a cat who helped him fold laundry. He called her Reno.

Ditto and (ditto!)

Oh you should~ But, augh! There was a pounce, and I missed it?
My heart, it will weep. As for the people, at one point, we nearly had the entire cast for the Lioness Quartet. :D

Yeah, eventually it would be fun to pick up Tamora Pierce character - and if I do, now we've got Beka I'd definitely send them here! Still, probably not for a while - I've only had Marco for about a month and a bit here. (Plus my tendency to write insane histories for my rp characters means that especially when it's a book character preparing takes me foreeeeeever *still recovering from Marco and his 54 book series, orz*)

Yeah, it was just the other day, actually. Maybe yesterday? I can't remember. And wow, the a whole Lioness cast? that is pretty amazing!

BWAHAHAHA, I'd hope so. Beka is kind of freaking out right now that she's the only one from Corus. (in her own, Beka way.) (I have SOOO MUCH FAITH IN YOU YEAH HUH) and I'm going to still enable for one of the men in her life, or hell... even Goodwin. omg. Goodwin.

*goes to taaaag* bwahaha. It was.

Aww, pook Beka /gives her a hug. (EVENTUALLY! EVENTUALLY! IF I CAN FIGURE OUT WHO THE HELL I'D WANT TO APP ASFDSFSD SO MANY CHARACTERS)

Alas, I don't think any of the male Beka characters are the kind I'd be interested in picking up. I think. It's been a while since I last read them ~~argh, you're going to make me go and start re-reading all her books to trying and find characters to pick up, aren't you? XD~~

Beka accepts the hug and even hugs back. Though she IS glad that slapper didn't follow her to the meatship >_< (BWAHAHAHA I LOVE YOUUUUU)

I can work with the womenz, after all, they're usually more interesting in her books as is. (besides, we figured Beka would try to hobble George if he showed up.) ~~yes, yes I am.~~

Who knows, maybe Slapper is actually in a pod somewhere (hey, if Danny Phantom can have his ghost dog show up...*innocent whistling*)

Aha, I'd love to see Beka trying to hobble George! ~~You, evil, evil person. *stares at complete works of Tamora Pierce orz~~

Oh god... I wonder why he was saved. XD Bwahahaha

Oh, she would do it! Bad great-great-great-great-great-great grandson, for being the king of thieves and all that.

Obviously because he was such a *ahem* memorable part of Beka's story! tales of his deeds went out across the multiverse, and the Daligig said, "yes, we must save that bird!" XD

He reforms, though! XD Aaaah, I'm so going to have to find a reason for Marco to thread with Beka sometime. They're actually in the same team though, so that should make things easier! XD

Obviously these two need to hang out!

CLEARLY this is the only answer. After all, the bird carries the voices of the dead! That's pretty freaking sweet.

Well that all depends on when he shows up. 23 year old George is HARDLY 55 year old George.
You must, she has a post up in the sensoriums if you want to bug her there, and heck yes they're on the same team. This shall be ~epic~.
