Meme: Reverse Questions

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or will be playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

♣ What are you most looking forward to about playing Sawyer again?

♣ Five things you love most about Kurt Hummel. Go.

♣ How is Rukia dealing with being in the city without Ichigo?

♣ How does Chase feel about House's presence in Darrow?

♣ I know one of the things you enjoy about Korra is her... I guess instinct for sort of chameleoning, depending on who she's with, which is a trait I loooove. What are a few of your favorite CRs for her in terms of how that shifts her behavior?

♣ Is there anything about modern times Nuriko has trouble acclimating to?

♣ Would Faye rather her hands switch to dustpans or that she sweat jam?

♣ If Ishiah were to open a shop, what would he specialize in?

SAWYER: The interesting thing to me about playing Sawyer again is that my view on life and love have changed a fair amount since the last time I played him. One of the reasons why I've been so keen on doing a full and thorough rewatch is that there are certain exchanges that I feel like I better understand now, probably thanks to having so closely managed relationships around me these past couple of years, and also having had people around me fall terribly ill or pass away. Sawyer is a fantastic character to explore that with, because he's a survivor, because he's malleable, because he's so responsive to the people around him while also maintaining very serious scars from the past. He's also unafraid to take extreme measures, something that I want to see him pushed to in Darrow, which affords so much opportunity for plot. So, I guess the thing I'm most looking forward to is playing such a dynamic character who is about love and the ability to move on from the past, and seeing how successful at it he'll be in Darrow.

KURT: Aw, only five things? Okay:
  1. His capacity for forgiveness. There's very little that he can't come to terms with, and it seems that most of all he needs to understand where and why a person came from, and then progress in a way healthy for both parties involved. He forgave and befriended the one boy who'd bullied him most over the years, he forgave his boyfriend after being cheated on. The fact that he's been hit so many times and come out the bigger person is just awesome.
  2. His resilience. He doesn't duck away from challenges. The closest he came to it was when he transferred schools to get away from severe bullying, but even then, he returned before long. Considering everything, he's pretty brave.
  3. His voice. ...yeah. I'm a sucker for Chris Colfer's countertenor.
  4. Weird as it sounds, the very dynamic way he interacts with fashion. Fashion's always been a statement to him, about expressing oneself, and the things that you spot in his clothes often seem to say a lot about him. Sometimes he prefers a bondage theme, very frequently there are death motifs (beyond just McQueen, even), and whenever he's more comfortable around people, his wear seems to get increasingly casual in look. It's fascinating, and I kind of wish I was better with fashion writing so that I could somehow replicate it in game without it being strange or unwieldy.
  5. His relationships. Everyone ends up occupying a very different type of space in his heart. He maintains his personality very strongly and changes it for no one, but he learns different things from all of the people around him and is incredibly conscious of that. It makes him super accepting.

RUKIA: Both Rukia and Ichigo are kind of fascinating in that they've been such a huge influence on one another and are incapable of forgetting all the ways they've been touched by that other person. Rukia brought Ichigo into the world of the dead and death gods; Ichigo is the first person who fought tooth and nail and without any hesitation to save her from a certain death. So even with Ichigo gone, Rukia's constantly thinking about him, and what ends up hurting most is the fact that she can't even get any news about him. He's just gone, all trace of him. Couple that with how she hasn't been able to get in contact with any other death gods in Darrow, and she's... really, really lost, honestly. She's able to function, she's very difficult to tilt off balance, but she's hurting a lot and feeling just a little more defeated with each passing day.

CHASE: More than anything, Chase is glad to have the opportunity to spend more time with House. He's also a little pissed that he heard absolutely nothing about House's plans to fake his death and run off with Wilson into the sunset, but... it's House, that kind of inconsideration is a rule rather than the exception. Chase still views Darrow as being some type of afterlife, so there's very little that fazes him on that front, but the way Darrow so closely resembles all of his living relationships with people makes Chase interact with it on a face level — so, even though he's like 'well this is limbo,' he's still quietly pleased to have the extra time with someone he really admired and, very honestly, loved.

KORRA: Russell, Tommy, Summer, and Cissie are all really interesting for Korra to interact with. She does, as you've pointed out, kind of adjust herself in response to what she sees from the other person, and each one of those four people pulls out a different part of her. Russell is the always supportive superior, so she considers him a teacher of sorts, a master in his own right, and is always delighted by how happy he seems to be with her. It makes her feel fulfilled. Tommy is the teacher who... well, is kind of gruff and opinionated and when they spark, they really spark, so I love how her temper seems to have flared the most of all around him. Summer is completely unfamiliar with Korra's sort of world and the abilities, but is really enthralled by it, so it makes Korra feel special and pleased that a peer is willing to welcome her; she kind of wants to play the knight to Summer's princess. And Cissie is the confidante, the one she tells the most to and is the most wholly herself around, because Cissie is always able to talk through things with her and has never made Korra feel like her emotions are invalidated. Cissie is Korra's rock. She adjusts herself into what she wants to be for all those four people and it's just really fun to play out.

NURIKO: Figuring out the social atmosphere has definitely been the most difficult thing for Nuriko. She's very effervescent and isn't afraid to strike up conversation, which works in her favor, but she also doesn't know how much she can share about her physical being and what people will think of that. In some ways, it was almost easier for her to be back home, where she knew that it wouldn't be respected and she had to hide it all the time — and then did a complete 180 when the warriors she fought with were actually okay with it, and then she never had to hide anything regarding her physique and biology anymore. Right now, Nuriko just doesn't want to end up losing any friendships as a result of how she looks. It's easier to say that those friendships should be abandoned anyway if that's a problem, but much harder to play out in practice.

FAYE: Sweat jam. And then she'll just end up staying only in very air conditioned buildings from now on. SHE NEEDS THOSE HANDS, HOW DO YOU FIRE GUNS WITH DUSTPAN HANDS?

ISHIAH: He'd probably fall to old habits and open up a bar. In canon, he has this bar called the Ninth Circle (clever amirite), a place he uses to listen in on conversations and gather intel about the surrounding area. It's very lushly decorated with plants and he lets many birds fly around free in the bar. Peri bars, man. Super weird. But he's definitely a 'go with old habits' kinda guy.
