Weirder question: what would the characters smell like?
A couple days ago I was selling stuff in a parking lot on a hot day. At the end of the day, we were packing up and I discovered that my arm hairs had collected mineral dust from the soft breeze and thus I smelled like the dust. I have brain worms and so thought: huh, I bet Knack would smell like [a parking lot when it rains].
And Ryder would wear some sort of woodsy cologne, since he's one of those TV personalities, right? And sweaty, depending on how recently he's done an expedition.
My brother and I agree this time: Lucas would smell like a teenager...
Although after a shower, I think he'd probably smell like some generic men's soap, but I'm not quite satisfied with that answer somehow. Suggestions?
Doctor Vargas would smell obnoxiously like whatever hair gel he uses. I'm imagining a bitter chemical scent. My brother also says he would smell like chemicals. What else would he smell like (genuine question)?
Charlotte would wear something sensible and clean, maybe a little floral, but it would not overpower the lingering scent of motor oil or other such chemicals in her line of work.
Viktor would wear some super pretentious fragrance idk. Like, Elon's Musk or something. If you were to interview him, you'd be like, yeah, this guy smells like a billionaire robotics industrialist. Maybe a hint of leather or shoe polish.
Ava is purple, so she would smell like lavender. And a bit like coconut since I have somewhat wavy or curly hair and heard that coconut oil is a popular hair-care substance for very curly hair.
Gundahar would smell like, uhh, I want to say something citrus or rose water, a rather light scent, and sweaty because of the armor. Also like an old man.
Rothari seems like the kind of guy to go heavy on the flower scent, but I'm not sure. He would also smell old. I'm assuming Elders or those eligible are old.
Not sure what Katrina would smell like. Thoughts? Maybe some kind of fruit, but that's not specific.
Or Xander. I think I saw someone have an opinion on that.
Who else am I forgetting? Robo Knack would smell like lubricant or nothing. Morgack would either smell like nothing but goose dander (or some other bird dander) from the feathers on his armor in addition to leather, or incredibly rank and even bloody. I imagine most goblins are actually very clean, despite the stereotype otherwise. But working hard makes you sweaty, and that's just how it is.
