#but wisdom and dexterity are not always high xD

[koszmar-zycie]

All of the fun, random questions! Do it!

Oh lawdy! To quote Ace Ventura: “Aaaaaalrighty, then!” - Apologies for the janky post, since I can’t space them without the site making the numbers all screwy.

Do you have any “yeah I’m good at it but I hate it” kind of skills? - hmmmm. To be honest, leading. If you buy into horoscopes, I’m a Dragon. And maybe it’s natural, maybe it’s theatre experience. But when I apply myself as a leader, I do AMAZING. The issue is that I generally like to be a support. Sometimes I like leading, but usually I’m not into the idea of being this focus or figurehead guiding the way as the leader. Whether projects or even fun, I tend to fall into a like... intermediate leadership role at best. 

If you could make one type of food cease to exist, what would you banish? - To be honest, I can’t do that. Even foods I’m not fond of are foods, and I would be remised if I were to remove any.  

You’re allowed to know everything about one highly specific thing/topic. What would you choose? - Deep sea thermal based biology. The deep sea is my 100% very favorite place on Earth. If I die and there’s an afterlife, I want endless ocean of all kinds. If I’m reincarnated, I want to be a Dragonfish or something. At any rate, I would do anything to have such a wealth of knowledge. Especially about something as fascinating to me as the ins and out of how the deep sea creatures that survive and thrive around the *extreme* heat and pressure of the vents. 

What’s a fictional character who you want to be like? In what way do you want to be like them? - I would love to be like Nathan Ford from Leverage. I want to be able to live my life as freely and wildly as he (though maybe not as illegally lol), and also pursue what I feel is right for me. Live through and persevere through hardship as well as he, even if he struggled.

If you had to live in and not leave a city for the rest of your life, what city would you choose? - That would be a VERY hard call between Avalon on Catalina Island USA, or Sedona, Arizona. While Sedona overall has more of what I love, Avalon has the sea. And I’d probably die without my ocean. 

Do you tend to say what you’re thinking? What would people think of you if you did the opposite?  - Usually, yes. But in a careful way. It WILL happen periodically, because I’m also an emotional hunk of waste. But in general I do a decent enough job of being honest without being harsh about it. When I’m provoked or something really gets to me, then I can just vent without thinking.

Is there anything that you’ve done/experienced so much you hate it now? Easiest to come up with are like, food or music. - Hmmm. Not really. Halloween got SEVERELY killed for me, though. I still like it, but Haunt people are by and large the most obnoxious and hypocritical. Since I adore haunt, I HAVE to deal with them. Hatred for Christmas and other holidays while spouting about Halloween has drained my interest in Halloween. So yes an no, because that’s really OTHER people killing it for me. But I’m also sort of involved because of my love of the haunt business.

Were you afraid of anything “silly”/irrational as a child that you’ve since outgrown? - Deep water. As a kid I HATED the deep end of pools. Now I’m obsessed with deep water and the dark, unknown, crushing depths. Funny how things work out! I used to hate going near the slope in a pool if it was even a little dark (lighted pools were fine). Now, the only thing stopping me from just continuing to swim down if I go diving is my tank limits.

If you were to impart one moral lesson (think Aesop’s fables, Golden Rule, etc) on the world, what would it be? - Treat others as you wish to be treated. It’s SO easy to say, and yet nobody does it. 

If you were a DND character or a game character (or something like that) what would your highest stat be? What would you want your highest stat to be? What about the lowest, to both of those? - HA. I think about this way too much. I’d be a sea elf druid. STR 10 INT 12 CHA 16 DEX 12 END 18 WIS 18 - If I were to apply myself logically as an analog of myself, I’d have good durability and understanding and social capability (again, in specific regards), but my outward strength and dex would be kinda average. I like to think that I’m decently intelligent, as I LOVE books, learning, and figuring things out. But I’m also far from genius. Hence my focus on Wisdom. I’m also surprisingly dexterous, but in certain circumstances more than others, so that’s also pretty average. I don’t think I’ve really have any “bad” stats, but I’d definitely mix average with a couple high ones.

Is there anything you judge others for when you probably shouldn’t? - Probably. I have a huge mistake of expecting others to be courteous and offer a common decency/open perspective on things.

Who are “your kind” of people? - Goths and hippies, my friend. If you want to know my style? Goth Druid. lol 

If you had to come up with your last words right now… what would they be? - “Don’t regret not accomplishing what you set out to accomplish. Regret having not tried. I do not regret trying, even if I did not succeed.”

Do you have any “weirdly strong” opinions about things that don’t really matter? - This is VERY obscure (I have others, but it’s late and this came to mind first) But if you play Fate Grand Order.... SET YOUR GOD DAMNED SUPPORTS.

Your goal is to completely confuse the people around you in as short a time as possible– what do you say/do? - Honestly, just start quoting Lorne from Season 5 of Angel. Or act like a Malkavian. One of my VTM characters was a Malkavian who got in a fight with a parachute he had. Her name was Kitten.

What’s the most comfy place you’ve been in? - I don’t know, actually. Maybe the Luxe Hotel in LA during Anime Expo?

Did you have any “silly” beliefs as a kid? Where did they come from (parents, friends, out of nowhere, etc)? - Not that I know of. At least in terms of anything that’d have changed or something. I’m sure there’s Something, but I honestly can’t dig anything up in my memories.

If you were to add or remove one physical feature to yourself… what would it be? Can be from animals, can be from imagination… whatever. - Hahaha, I ALWAYS think about this one. Right now, I’d want maybe the electro-vision of sharks. 

What could you happily give a two hour lecture on? - Ocean conservation, and what’s correct and what isn’t.

What would a mirror opposite version of yourself be like? It doesn’t necessarily have to be an evil version– any feature can be reflected! - Someone who’s mostly optimistic. More bright colors than dark, short hair. Focused on socializing and extroverted. More than happy in one place forever, without an interest in travel. 

What’s an occasion you’ve done a double take? - Anime Expo a number of times. Seeing weird or unexpected, or legendary cosplays. 

If you could only see one color (and its varying shades– dark/light) for the rest of your life… what would you choose? - Blue. Guess that was probably obvious. But it’s a cool color and associated with calming. Between dark midnight and navy blues to vibrant aquamarines pressing towards green (without actually going into it), I feel like there’s a happy spectrum of all kinds that would be enough to get through without going too crazy.

Do your friends all share certain qualities? Major or minor! - Despite my.... unique personality, and preference towards quiet etc (INFJ), I have a lot of radically different kinds of friends. I honestly don’t think I could put any one thing down. Other than that I choose my friends carefully on who I think I can trust and is a good persona at heart. To a sufficient degree anyway. That’s also a huge part of my downsides, too. By being sensitive (and having certain conditions), when a friend does something that hurts me, it REALLY hurts.

How do you motivate yourself to do things? - Oh man, that’s funny. It is entirely circumstantial. As an artist/writer/creative (I use artist in the broad sense, but I figured I’d add that to help specify) I can VERY easily just have motivation on a moments notice. So it’s often pretty random. But if not, I jut need to think of why. I Looooooove gardening. Weeds need pulling? I think about what’ll happen if the roses or tomatos or lemon tree don’t get their water because of weeds sucking it up. Need to write? I’ll never leave my creation for *any*one if I don’t at least crack down on notes, and make slow and steady progress if nothing else. It’s usually just a small thing I think of to act as a spark, but it’s usually very effective.

What’s one of your favorite jokes? Tell it to us!  - Okay, so this isn’t a joke, but it’s seriously STILL making me laugh just thinking about it. I was going to reference an old comedian in a previous post (I didn’t end up doing it, but still). Anyway, I was really confused as to why I couldn’t find him in google. It turns out, instead of looking up “Groucho Marx”, I was googling “Marco Grouch”. LOL That’s probably not quite as funny to y’all, but for some reason it’s killing me. XD

Hooooooeeee! Well, that was long, but actually really fun! Thank you @scatteredstoryteller! That was like... an essay. lol But definitely fun. I love asks. XD

[nottodaylogic]

I was waiting for the third instalment of the Logince fluff, and as always it was wonderful. I particularly love how Logan has 18 Dex. What would you say is Roman's highest stat? What are their respective dump stats? (DND term for "eh I can do without it playing this class, what bard needs intelligence?" Sort of thing.)

Aaaaahhh aww thanks!! I’m so glad you liked it!!! Pfft thanks! I’m really happy you caught that haha XD 

Okay so holy CRAP this got long so here’s a Read More (I love DND a lot okay)

Roman, the FREAKING NERD, would go charisma and strength I think because “I’m charming AND strong, and my character, a royal Paladin or Fighter or something, must reflect that!” He’d put that before whatever his spell casting thing is because “No book will tell me what to do!”

Logan would dump charisma or strength because that’s Roman’s specialty, and also he’s a sorcerer, why would he need those when he can Charm Person or whatever, that won’t help, although he’d probably be more likely to dump strength because he’d be most likely to be the one negotiating or interacting, and Charisma Is Good For That. He’d have suuuper high Dexterity (as you’ve heard), Intelligence, and Wisdom (HE’S A NERD OKAY AND THE DEX RAISES HIS AC) with medium Constitution (but he’d use his race things to boost that because HP Is Important). He’d probably be a human or an elf, maybe a half-elf. He rolls Really Good and everyone is Jealous (except Patton, who also rolls really good a lot)

Roman would dump Constitution. Why would he do that, you ask? Is he an idiot? Yes. Yes he is. Okay not really, he’s just like “I’m super freaking strong and charming, who’d want to attack me?!” A lot. A lot of people want to attack him. Once, there was a (very short) campaign with Logan as the DM, and “mysteriously”, all Roman’s characters died, like, within every session. He’s now banned from being the DM. (Also, he’d make the fights just too hard, and got REALLY frustrated when the party (Roman, Virgil, and Patton) went where he didn’t want them to go, so. Not everything is Roman’s fault.) Now their friend Emile is the DM, and he’s really good at it.

Roman would also dump Wisdom or Intelligence because he rolled TERRIBLY and it’s sad.

Maybe he’d multiclass into bard because he’s Roman? Eh

I know you didn’t ask for Virgil or Patton, BUT I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL W H A T S O E V E R SO!

Patton? CHARISMA BEAST. Also Wisdom. He doesn’t have high Intelligence, but he’s always the first to notice things BECAUSE HE HAS A FREAKING HIGH PROFICIENCY IN PERCEPTION. He’s usually the one to talk to people and get answers, unlike Roman, who gets distracted flirting with the NPCs and Logan. He rolled medium scores in Constitution, and dumped Intelligence and Strength, although he rolled Really Good so they’re not too bad. He might be aaaaaaa baaaard? I’m not sure? No he’s a cleric and he heals them all!

Virgil has the highest Constitution of all of them, because he’s paranoid and terrified of his character dying. He’s the only one who's never died. He also has high Intelligence and Dexterity. He dumps Charisma because “I’m socially awkward in real life, heck no am I gonna be smooth in the game.” His Wisdom is medium, but he amped it up a bit with his like race plus things, plus he has proficiency in Perception BECAUSE HE’S NOT GONNA MISS SOMETHING OBVIOUS DANGIT! He rolled a bit terribly but he’s a human so since he has +1 to all of them it’s not too bad. He’s a rogue btw because Edgy. Also Emile let him roll up all his stats twice because he rolled. All fours. It was the worst.

Emile is a Really Great DM okay. He’s super creative and great at reacting to Roman and Patton (and Virgil sometimes, RIP Logan) going off his carefully planned course, and he has plot twists and stuff and it’s really fun!!! His monsters are just challenging enough to be fun, but so far he hasn’t killed any of the party so!!! There's also multiple reoccurring NPCs :)

Sorry this ended up Really Long And Ranty but I love DND and playing it is really fun haha
