#me everytime.i give f/o a new little detail; i took the liberty of spicing up ur boy firaxis

[companionwolf]

So. Central.

[inhales]

I'll start off with a few answers to questions a pal in a server asked when I went PLEASE PLEASE ASK ME lol.

Fave color-- green.

Fave childhood item-- action figures; he also likes retro (80s) game consoles.

Fave food-- very classic Americana, so pizza, subs, steak, etc. Homemade is better.

Dogs or cats?- I associate him both with cats (namely black cats) and huskies, but I think he would be a dog person.

Okay, now here's the contents of my 'things I know about F/O!Central' doc. You should feel special; no one's seen this except maybe you (I don't remember) and one another friend. Used a OC emoji ask games questions for these.

Under the cut because wow long!

things I associate with my selfship: the colors dark green, XCOM blue and black, stars, cats, mallard ducks, otters, swords, oranges, acoustic guitar, the concepts of Halloween, camping, cooking, and crochet, the ocean, foxes, flannels, sweaters, map-making, weapons, coffee, action figures, 80s/90s/early 2000s stuff

- does crochet; he's actually better at it than I am 

- very loyal; sarcastic and stoic; secretly enjoys soft comfy things (feels like he has to hide it + his more vulnerable side because of being a guy?)

- he swears but not super often and I don't think he says fuck unless it's like REALLY bad (or uh. Really Good. 😏) 

- not superstitious (canon?)

- 'ghosts aren't real Commander'

- doesn't like gambling

- uses fidget stuff for more like. PTSD and dissociative stuff than ADHD/autism but the point is he uses them 

-- likes retro (80s, 90s) stuff; as a kid enjoyed early Nintendo titles

-- leery of furbies (sorry furbies this mental image is too funny)

-- pokemon team (chosen from mons he'd know about) Riolu (Lucario), Turtwig (Torterra), Cubone (Marowak), Absol, Axew (Haxorus), and Eevee (Sylveon); sylveon is shiny

⏳ HOURGLASS - are they usually late or on-time?

Punctual if he can help it.

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?

He doesn't trust that easily, but once he does, he'd rather die than turn his back on them. He's been backstabbed before, in the days after base fall. If given a ultimatum, say death or betrayal, he'd die. 

📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact.

He likes interior design and building things. 

📦 PACKAGE - what are some “most likely to…” that can apply to them?

'Mostly likely to forgo medical attention.'

'Mostly likely to shield someone else with his body.'

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?

Please see a therapist. Also love me but that's a request not advice.

⚙️ GEAR - what are your ocs thoughts on science & art? which do they give more importance to? how much value do they place on each?

Central doesn't really get science - he's more of a brawny type, but he respects it. He doesn't get art that much either, but he likes to see what others make. 

🔧 WRENCH - are they good at fixing relationships? or do they tend to avoid doing so?

He's fairly good at repairing relationships that are non-personal. With personal relationships, he flounders a bit but tries his best. 

❇️ SPARKLE - what is their most prized possession? what do they value?

Values practical things the most, like supplies, weapons, clothes, medical stuff, food, but is also pretty soft when it comes to personalized gifts. As for prized possession, it's the kandi bracelet the Commander gave him.

📏 RULER - is your oc well educated? where did they get their learning from?

Fairly well educated. I don't know yet because it hasn't been revealed to me (ie I haven't picked something that Feels correct).

🚲 BICYCLE - can they ride a bike? what do they remember from learning to ride a bicycle?

He can ride a bike. 

🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning?

No.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon?

He wears long sleeves to cover self harm scars. It's one other reason he misses the sweater. 

❄️ SNOWFLAKE - do people consider them cold? if so, what made them this way?

Yes; trauma based. 

🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?

The alcohol addiction is self destructive; he also self isolates. He also can be just kinda irritable and a bit a of a dick to others. He's working on it.

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

He crochets and buys plushies for the Commander.

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

It used to excite him, but now he looks at the stars with disdain. He thinks about what ifs. Stargazing seems romantic, though-- he'd do that, if his partner wanted. He'd even enjoy it.

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

That XCOM had won the initial war.

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

That he's cold, unfeeling, mean. He IS cold, but it's an outside persona. He feels, he just doesn't express it much. 

💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing?

Physical touch (man's touch starved).

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

Loyalty, mostly. And no.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they’re in love?

...Honestly? Yeah it kinda is * stares at canon with my ship goggles on *; he gets softer for them, wayyyy devoted.

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?

To others: Affirmation and gift giving. 

For himself (receiving): Acts of service and physical touch.

💙 BLUE HEART - do they miss their s/o easily? how do they act when their s/o isn’t around?

Because it's the Commander, he gets a little weird if they're apart for too long. He doesn't want to lose them again. He's often colder and standoff-ish even more when he doesn't know his partner is around. This slowly improves though.

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

Food; he likes cooking, especially homemade. Gifts, especially handmade. Parallel play. 

💖 SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

Subtle. 

💌 LOVE LETTER - do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

He thinks love letters are way too vulnerable and mushy but at the Commander's request leaves little sticky notes around with encouragement.
