Hmm... 7 and 12 for Party Satan, 2 and 17 for Hatchet?
dragon time
7. What is the biggest mistake they’ve ever made?
dragon time
its a tossup between a very predatory student loan, the point in the legendary bender at which they decided that snorting a geo symbol was a good idea, and being manipulated into letting the seraph get mindcontrolled by the order of order
dragon time
12. At least one thing that they tend to overreact to that is a tough one because the few things that set them off are in fact pretty serious
dragon time
i think the closest thing is a repellence towards romantic love that goes beyond even most normal demons
pissymuck
12 and 20 for Bulat, and 2, 13, and 14 for Reyson. Original flavor and various AUs as they strike your fancy
dragon time
I think that at least before they got entangled with the party, if they ended up falling in love with anyone they would have arranged their assassination to prove that they can't be controlled like that
dragon time
2. Do they have any annoying quirks? If so, what are they? spent a lot of his formative years fighting in a loincloth so when he wears pants he is constantly adjusting himself
dragon time
des and vincent can only pretty woman this man up so much, they've got him picking his nose with his pinky instead of his index finger and thats as good as it gets
dragon time
is picking your nose better or worse than snucking it all up into the back of your throat and hawking up a big loogie, whichever one he does its the worse one
dragon time
17. When would they be too judgmental of someone or something? he gets on vincent's case a lot but this is honestly, a case of picking on vincent rather than any of the actual tendencies that he claims piss him off
dragon time
because he thinks that vincent is hot and also thinks that he is better than him that is most of what irritates him
dragon time
really he just... kind of hates rich people and on bad days that kind of oozes into hating everyone who has had a better upbringing than hatchet himself,
dragon time
which is,
dragon time
everybody
dragon time
so i think the cynicism is something he goes too heavy on
dragon time
12. At least one thing that they tend to overreact to.
dragon time
aside from how handsome he is,
dragon time
because he is definitely beyond self aware of that
dragon time
he did punch the protagonist in the face for being sad about one of their mutual friends dying
dragon time
while bulat himself was also crying over it
dragon time
i think he puts a LOT of effort into being absolutely fine with the inevitable deaths of himself and all of his friends and the motivation behind popping tatsumi one was because of the threat to that mindset
dragon time
that this in fact is not actually fine with them but if they stop pretending it's okay then that will sap morale
dragon time
for the bulats who are more into long term survival i play them as being very stringent health nuts
dragon time
for similar beats of everything being fine on the surface but this man won't let himself eat a cookie on the grounds that this is a slippery slope
dragon time
also i reckon that in his younger days he was a little bit prissy about being hit in the face because he is just, really hot and really vain
dragon time
you'd think that would conflict with bonding with a teigu that conceals his face and then conceals his whole self on top of that but bulat is a mass of contradictions
dragon time
and also it protects his face on top of that
dragon time
20. What is a self-inflicted misery of theirs? again, quite well adjusted overall-
dragon time
oh wait he lives in the woods and is constantly prepared to die to defend people that will always view him as a treacherous murderer
dragon time
he does love people, he is an extrovert, he LOVES the hunky boys, and he is well within his rights to hand over incursio to the revolution and retire to be a trainer in one of the couple of countries that doesn't view him as either a traitor or a war criminal
dragon time
but it would not be doing the best he can
dragon time
so he lives in a secret hideout with a bunch of amazingly hot women and does all the cleaning and works out all the time instead of having a social life
dragon time
Theater Bulat i translate this kind of self sacrifice into the thing where he supports and hangs out with this weirdo costume shop phantom he is madly in love with and does not say a god damn word about having sincere feelings behind the whole, gestures to entire personality
dragon time
this is theater bulat so he honestly does enjoy the pangs of what he assumes is one sided love, it is so good for his acting to understand this
dragon time
2. Do they have any annoying quirks? If so, what are they? this is a canon habit that tracks quite well into any number of au,
dragon time
and that is that reyson is always going out places without giving a heads up to anyone else and leaves a note about half of the time
dragon time
we know this because of the times he says "its fine that i snuck out in the middle of the night without telling anyone, i left a note" or "whoops i went all the way into the middle of begnion i should have left a note"
dragon time
for an empath he has so much disrespect for the time and emotional labor of others
dragon time
modern au at least might remember his cell phone
dragon time
but then hes like
dragon time
oh, if i directly text tibarn to let him know where I am he will be stroppy about it
dragon time
but he should know where i am
dragon time
creates a vaguely worrying snapchat
dragon time
problem solved
dragon time
14. Is there anything they are too optimistic about? he describes himself as being optimistic by nature and he is correct
dragon time
a massive amount of the plot is driven by various members of reysons family, especially reyson
dragon time
going "i'm going to do what i feel like doing and it's going to turn out just fine" with varying results
dragon time
tbf it often does turn out fine
dragon time
because people are around to save him from the consequences of his own actions
dragon time
this makes him great to rp as because trouble happening is generally interesting and exciting
dragon time
13. In what ways might they be overly negative and/or pessimistic? original flavor gets over his hangups during the course of events and also his backstory, I like to make au versions have that stick around for a while because it's very fun to play him mad
dragon time
and theres his body image issues - twenty years hanging out with buff jocks while he is a frail willow man really fucked him up for a while and he worked through the darker parts of that on his own and now he overcompensates, back to question 14
dragon time
where he is so determined to keep up with the hawks and ike's mercenary group even when he is half killing himself to do it, he will not give up on himself mentally at any cost because the few times he has given up
dragon time
it has been quite bad
dragon time
he was very much willing to die rather than live as a weakling for a while and he's forthcoming enough about that part of his past that I think it is not something he is currently struggling with, but he does not want to let that mindset get so much as a foothold
dragon time
also if someone does ask something of him that he feels is too much, which is honestly somewhat rare because he's already visibly pushing himself during the war,
dragon time
he is a huge bitch about it
dragon time
and theres this very narrow window between him very much appreciating people being considerate about his limitations and HOW FUCKING DARE YOU CONDESCEND TO ME and nobody can tell where that line is
dragon time
this doesn't quite fit the question but he is after all an optimist
dragon time
modern au versions tend to be a little more sour about being frail noodlemen because there's so much more to be sensitive about
dragon time
the boyband version actually was fairly healthy for a while so he's got that angle going for him
dragon time
and of course Red Prince AU really leans into his sense of betrayal and he will never expect anything good from humans, there's a few splits in that au also so I can have a full goddamn tragedy in one and there's one where leanne takes over the PoR plot points so we don't get a full apocalypse and sometimes kevin is there
dragon time
but even in the better versions of that serenes itself is still kind of turbofucked because he did a blood ritual there and messed up the sacred harmonies
dragon time
and I feel like theres sort of a fisher king style thing going on
dragon time
where serenes can't recover and go back to being lively and green until reyson lets go of his hatred and thats not going to happen
pissymuck
I love that he fucks off and doesn't leave notes
pissymuck
This is something I would absolutely loathe in a person who was my problem but when it's my characters' problem it's fucking hilarious
dragon time
kevin deserves this
dragon time
bulat is so good to him so anyone else i bounce off of him has to be a royal pain, for balance
pissymuck
The dynamics of "we are both knights and we have a grand time while off duty" and "ah yes there is my chucklehead prince, and I am the devoted handler" are so different
pissymuck
Reyson in most any flavor is exactly the sort of prince Kevin deserves to have to knight at
