📻tomek

He went to a Catholic school as a kid. Nuff said.

But I'll still say more. He's got so many damn emotions bottled up that need to be let out. At war with wanting salvation from this life, and the part of him that actually kind of enjoys the violence and freedom.

for Tomek and Elias

Hmmmmm do I wanna do stinky MK Elias or tragic Fallout Elias........ Stinky MK Elias it is. [ 🌊 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen was the last time they cried ?

Tomek - Unfortunately, in Danny's car of all places. After a chance meeting with Axle when they're 22.

Elias - If he's drunk and the right song hits, he might shed a few dramatic tears? But actually cry? He doesn't know. Maybe when he was a kid.

[ 🐾 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo animals like them instinctively ?

Tomek - I don't think most animals are sure what to make of him. Especially post blood magic activation. His naturally calm demeanor probably does something for him, but he's got an energy too him after all. He'll pet a cat no problem if they approach him tho.

Elias - Not really. He doesn't really respect animal body language. The kind of guy that can get along with dogs, but thinks cats are uncaring/evil.

[ 🪶 ]ㅤ.ㅤhow do they laugh ?

Tomek - Barely and mostly to himself. Quiet chuckles, trying not to draw attention to himself.

Elias - Loudest most obnoxious fucker at the bar.

[ 🫀 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho taught them what love is ? did it hurt ?

His childhood friend, Axle. And it's a hurt that's never healed. Not because anyone did anything wrong. Simply because they cannot be.

[ ⚓ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat does “home” mean to them ?

Home is sandy beaches and hot temperatures. Digging through the sand for shells with his sister.

[ 🌪️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s the one choice they regret (not) making ?

He regrets not taking Axle's hand when he asked him to run away with him.

[ 🧩 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s a truth about themselves they refuse to admit ?

That there's hope for him to be free. To be a good person.

Squishy fella that came to me in a vision before falling asleep.

[advanced-imbecile-art]

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)
