[im-no-jedi]

alrighty so I’ve been wanting to talk about my Guardians for a while now, and I started filling out some of those OC questions that I did for Fae and Ty a while back, but I keep forgetting to finish them, so I’m just gonna fill out a basic character profile for each of them that I reblogged a thousand years ago

let’s start with my Hunter:

Character Basics

Birthplace: Where were they born? - he has no idea

Piercing(s): Any piercings? - nope

Special Feature(s): Does your character have a peg leg or any other kind of special characteristics? - nope, he’s pretty much perfect XD

Clothing Style: Does your character prefer dresses to pants? - he wears his hunter cloak kinda sideways cause he likes the way it feels draped over his shoulder. he never goes anywhere without wearing the lucky pants Cayde gave him. he prefers strong, metal chestpieces as opposed to cloth ones. AKA he dresses like McCree I mean a cowboy all the time :P

Character Personality

Character Traits: Using adjectives, list a few words to describe your character. - kind, helpful, likeable, skilled, VERY nerdy

Extensive Personality: Write a paragraph or two describing your character’s personality - Matt is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet in your life. people have a hard time believing he’s a Hunter because he’s so approachable and nice.

Flaws: What imperfections does your character’s personality have? - he spends a lot of time making sure other people are ok, which means he doesn’t spend a lot of time on himself. he’s pushed himself too far one too many times, which has earned him many scoldings from his Ghost. also he... tends to run into bad luck more often than not. Rocky swears that he was cursed by a Hive Wizard at some point because of how many unfortunate things have happened to him over time LOL

Ambitions & Dreams: Does your character have any hopes or dreams? - he’s extremely hopeful for the future and wants to make it a safe and happy place for everyone to live in (which is why he’s hardcore New Monarchy LOL)

Fears: Everyone is afraid of something. What’s your character afraid of? - not being able to save the people he cares most about

Hobbies: What does your character do in their spare time? - he collects stuff. mainly action figures and other collectibles related to his interests. he has a whole bunch of junk that he’s gotten from his excursions that he claims are really “valuable” but is actually just a bunch of junk that he keeps for sentimental reasons :P

Likes: Does your character have something specific they like or love? - he just really loves spending time with people and helping out in any way that he can, seriously this guy is so far from the stereotypical Hunter, Cayde swears the Traveler is just trolling with him LOL

Dislikes: What does your character hate? - INJUSTICE

Favorite food: This can go in likes, but if you want to split it up you can. - he’s a BIG coffee drinker. Cayde always wants to take him to bars and stuff, but he’d much rather have a cup o’ joe than alcohol hahaha

Least favorite food: Same goes for this. - he doesn’t like the Spicy Ramen. Cayde is disgusted :P

Motivation: What is driving your character through this story? - the same thing I wrote for his ambitions and dreams really, he’s trying to make the world a safe place for people to live in

Character General

Family: Does your character have any family or are they an orphan?  Do they belong to a tribe? - he doesn’t remember if he had a family before being reborn as a Guardian. he considers the Vanguard and his fireteam the closest thing to his family now :3

Relationship(s): Do they have a partner? A close friend? - Rocky is his best friend, and he knows Cayde pretty well too, of course. he also has a huuuuuuuuuge crush on Hawthorne hehe

Pet(s): Does your character have a companion? What’s their name? - just his Ghost. he’s a bit more serious than Matt and doesn’t really understand why Matt is so interested in all the junk he collects, but whatever. as long as Matt doesn’t bring anything living back with him, his Ghost is fine with it. he sounds like Travis Willingham.

Job: Does your character work or is he jobless? - he’s one of Cayde’s top favorite Hunters, so I’d say he’s pretty busy LOL

Weapon(s): Does your character use any weapons? What type? Do those weapons have names? - he uses scout rifles, snipers, hand cannons, and the occasional rocket launcher. his signature weapon is the Sunshot.

Magical Abilitie(s): Any special abilities? Telekinetic? Fireballs? Mind-reading? - he uses solar energy, so his special ability is the Golden Gun.

Vehicle(s): Does your character have a car? An airplane? - he goes back and forth between Sparrows, but his ship is the Symmetry Flight

Theme Song: This is for funsies, but sometimes it helps to think of a song that encompasses your character - “Kill Em With Kindness” by Selena Gomez hahaha

Character Biography

Take the time to write a few paragraphs of your characters past. You can make it as long or short as you want, it’s just to give you an idea of who your character is and where they come from. - when Matt first came to the City, he wasn’t sure if he’d make a good Guardian or not. all he knew is that he wanted to help. he saw the chaos outside of the City and knew he had to do something about it. and he was willing to do whatever he had to do to protect the City. that’s why he was one of the Guardians chosen to take out Crota, Oryx, the House of Wolves, and all the other threats that popped up leading to the Red War. that’s why he survived losing his Light. and that’s why he still fights to this day \o/

and now here’s my Titan:

Character Personality

Character Traits: Using adjectives, list a few words to describe your character. - loud, brash, fearless, tough, self-absorbed 

Extensive Personality: Write a paragraph or two describing your character’s personality - Rocky is the closest thing to a stereotypical jock that you can get in a Guardian. he’s always showing off and trying to make himself look good and win the adoration of everyone around him. but despite all that, he’s still dependable and willing to help out with whatever Zavala needs him to do (with a lot of grumbling and eye rolling of course).

Flaws: What imperfections does your character’s personality have? - like I said before, he’s pretty self-absorbed. he’s also kinda reckless and has been scolded by Zavala many times for breaking or knocking down something unnecessarily :P

Fears: Everyone is afraid of something. What’s your character afraid of? - being forgotten

Likes: Does your character have something specific they like or love? - adoring fans~

Dislikes: What does your character hate? - being ignored

Favorite food: This can go in likes, but if you want to split it up you can. - he eats... pretty much anything, he’s not that picky LOL

Least favorite food: Same goes for this. - healthy foods haha

Motivation: What is driving your character through this story? - he never got to meet Saint-14, but he’s Rocky’s main inspiration to being the best Titan he can possibly be. he looks up to Shaxx and Zavala too of course, but if he could one day be on the same level as Saint-14 was? he’d have it made, man...

Character General

Family: Does your character have any family or are they an orphan?  Do they belong to a tribe? - like Matt, the Vanguard and his fireteam is his family. but he’d never admit that :P

Relationship(s): Do they have a partner? A close friend? - Matt is his best friend ever. he’s also really good buddies with Lord Shaxx due to all his time in the crucible.

Pet(s): Does your character have a companion? What’s their name? - again, like Matt, he just has his Ghost. she’s spunky, fun-loving, and always supportive of Rocky’s antics. she tries to keep him grounded when needed as well. she sounds like Auli’i Cravalho.

Job: Does your character work or is he jobless? - he’s one of Zavala’s best Titans, and a favorite of Lord Shaxx in the Crucible, so yeah, he’s pretty busy

Weapon(s): Does your character use any weapons? What type? Do those weapons have names? - I haven’t created his file in D2 yet, so I have no idea what weapons he’s going to use! I’ll have to come back to fill this out once I’ve played through his file.

Magical Abilitie(s): Any special abilities? Telekinetic? Fireballs? Mind-reading? - he uses Arc energy, so he’s a Striker. big surprise :P

Vehicle(s): Does your character have a car? An airplane? - this falls into the same category as the weapons. I’ll fill this out once I’ve played through his file!

Theme Song: This is for funsies, but sometimes it helps to think of a song that encompasses your character - “You’re Welcome” from Moana ROFL (seriously I inadvertently made him as much like Maui as possible so yeah xP)

Character Biography

Take the time to write a few paragraphs of your characters past. You can make it as long or short as you want, it’s just to give you an idea of who your character is and where they come from. - Rocky came to the City unsure of what he wanted. he was told he had to be a Guardian and protect the City, but he wasn’t really feelin’ it. he refused to do anything for a long time, much to the dismay of Zavala and the rest of the Vanguard. but then... he saw the Crucible. he met Lord Shaxx. he heard stories of all the Guardians who fought valiantly and performed daring feats with their Light. he heard about Saint-14, the greatest Guardian who ever lived, an Exo Titan just like Rocky himself. and after that... Rocky knew what he had to do. he had to outdo them all. but what started out as a selfish endeavor turned into a real passion for protecting the City. despite what he might say, Rocky has no problem doing whatever needs to be done to protect the City. and he’ll do it in the most Extra™ way he possibly can LOL.
