“Layers” Character Meme

LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE

Name: Charles Harris Wilson Charon

Eye Color: Bright blue

Hair Style/Color: He inherited the same ginger-red as Martha. Likes keeping it short, but can’t manage to cut it often enough for it to be as neat as he’d like. Habitually tries to finger-comb it over at intervals. Post-ghoulification, just doesn’t care. Touching it might lose him the last of it.

Height: 6′4″ (+ - I haven’t completely nailed it down, but he’s about a foot taller than LW. Mine was female and I pictured her being fairly small, so I tacked a foot onto that, but I don’t think the male models are much taller. He could be anything up to 7″ depending on how you view your LW?!)

Clothing Style: Provided he has a choice, he likes pre-war casual - going on game options only, parkstroller or spring - but the red shade is a bit much, switch it out for something lighter. He’s awkward in that he doesn’t like short sleeved shirts but he doesn’t like long either, so he has to roll long ones to the exact right place. Post-programming, he doesn’t even entertain the notion of casual clothing. Always armored, light enough not to weigh him down (his agility is already pretty poor).

Best Physical Feature: Probably his eyes. Which backfires pretty spectacularly when they’re the only thing he retains in ghoul form and they become creepy and too-real compared to the rest of him. He used to have a nice smile, but it was the rarity of it more than anything. It felt odd to smile - when he was surrounded by misery - even when it was his natural reaction to someone or something, so he had a habit of clenching his back teeth and trying to suppress it. The result was a kind of reluctant, delayed half-smile that made him look shy, and a certain type of lady liked that.

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE

Fears: Younger: Losing his family or something happening to them, losing his own identity after he was bought by them. Older: Nothing - he’s not allowed to be afraid of things, it might impair his usefulness.

Guilty Pleasure: Younger: Stealing smokes from dead people. Slightly less guilty if they’re slavers. Older: None. Still does that, but no longer guilty. Every selfish thought he has produces a faint sense of guilt. Vague, fleeting thoughts of his own preferences, that kind of thing.

Biggest Pet Peeve[s]: Younger: More like an intense hatred; slavers pushing around people weaker than them, which he took to be women, children and the elderly. He got his ass kicked more than once trying to step in for them. Older: Employers who don’t know how to watch their own asses. He can only do so much; he’s one ghoul, not your guardian angel.

Ambition for the Future: Younger: Escape somehow, free his fellow slaves, clear out Paradise Falls so no one else ever gets taken there. After that, he never intended to go home. Fuzzy memories of cannibalism and incest no longer seem part and parcel of living. He’d rather go find his own home. Older: Haha, that’s funny.

LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS

First Thoughts Waking Up: Younger: “Collar’s still there.” Older: “Is [Employer Name] still alive?”

What They Think About the Most: Everyone else. This is pretty consistent. He can’t be called a Mom Friend at any point, but he has a natural inclination to look after anyone who needs it. Y’know... a real man protects his family, and all.

What They Think About Before Bed: Younger: He’s probably been worked to instant unconsciousness. Older: After the security of the area, his thoughts wander as far as they can. Sometimes he tries to count his employers backwards, hoping he’ll break through that strange barrier he senses somewhere in the past. Why doesn’t he remember anyone before that?

What They Think Their Best Quality Is: Younger: He knows he’s a grounding influence. He’s good at projecting a calm aura. Older: His shotgun.

LAYER FOUR: WHAT’S BETTER?

Single or Group Dates: Group dates sound fun. That takes off a lot of pressure and seriousness; and it’d be nice for a girl to have another girl to talk to, right? Maybe single dates would be better after something like that. Of course, older... neither.

To be Loved or Respected: Younger: Both. Older: Respected.

Beauty or Brains: Younger: He’d like to say “brains” but he’s an absolute sucker for pretty girls. As long as they can tell a mole rat from a deathclaw, they’re probably good. Older: Definitely brains. Even if anything else weren’t hypocritical, he’s a lot more relaxed around someone who won’t get themselves killed.

Dogs or Cats: Dogs. There aren’t supposed to be any cats left, Todd.

LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?

Lie: Younger: Rarely. Older: Never.

Believe in Yourself: Younger: Oddly, yes. He’s confident for someone with a bomb round his neck. Older: Yes, but in a much more practical sense.

Believe in Love: Younger: What’s not to believe in? Older: ...

Want Someone: Younger: Eventually. He’s a little commitment-phobic, but I think that’s understandable when you were engaged to your sister as a kid. Older: Pointless to think about. No.

LAYER SIX: EVER?

Been on Stage: No.

Done Drugs: Younger: (sheepish fidgeting, awkward smile) Older: Yeah, occasionally - but he almost sees it as medicinal. Firefight taking too long? Employer tiring out? Psycho. Finish it.

Changed Who You Were to Fit In: Never - never been able to. If he were, he might have seemed less like a vault tec ad come to life in his younger years.

LAYER SEVEN: AGE

DOB: Between 17 and 30+ depending on timeline point. I talked to Nimriel about this yesterday - I think averages out about 26, assuming we’re post-F3. But he stops counting then, since he’s technically immortal and never any closer to death. The only thing that changes anymore is the amount of unmarked skin he has left.

How Old Will You Be: ^^^

Age You Lost Your Virginity: 15. He’s a little ashamed of that now.

Does Age Matter: For what? For friends, not at all. For proper, long term partners, definitely. He’s a little shallow and won’t go much older than he is, but neither will he go much younger, and by “much”, I mean she has to be a grown woman with the maturity to match. He’s not interested in teenagers, they’re still kids, and kids shouldn’t think about that stuff. Obviously, older!Charon doesn’t give a fried fuck, his employers could be 19 or 90 as long as they’re breathing.

LAYER EIGHT: IN A BOY OR GIRL

Best Personality: Younger: Genuine, kind, caring, monogamous. Seriously, he has the out of touch mindset of a 1950s poster for a new oven, besides the intense misogyny. That said, he still thinks women have a certain sort of role; he sees it as his job to keep her and the children safe, and hers to take care of the home they put together from within. That means more making sure everyone eats more than polishing the silverware, though. It makes a little more sense in a Fallout setting; having one of them focused on defence and one on offence is pretty logical. He wouldn’t want anyone he loved to be the one getting covered in raider blood. Older: This isn’t really something that ever crosses his mind, but he does admire people with a purpose.

Best Eye Color: Doesn’t matter. He’s weak.

Best Hair Color: Again. Weak. But he likes blondes.

Best thing to do With a Partner: Younger: Never really had one for any extended period of time, if you catch my drift - but he’d probably like to travel with them. He loves seeing new places, but it’d be nicer if he wasn’t alone. Older: Survive?

LAYER NINE: FINISH THE SENTENCE

I love: [no words - just an image of an empty landscape view and the sun shining on it. seems to be the area surrounding Paradise Falls, but not viewed through a fence]

I feel: Younger: “Lucky.” (I know. But it’s the truth. He’s constantly thankful to still be alive after every owner and every fight). Older: “...”

I hide: Younger: His despair. That’s not something others ought to see, especially if it might affect them. He’s not as certain as he seems about being free one day. Older: Nothing, but he has nothing to hide, really. Just ask.

I miss: Younger: ??? How can he miss anything, when he never had it? Older: He has a vague sense that he used to be capable of a higher level of empathy and independence, but he’s not sure what that feeling is based on. If it’s true, it would be nice.

I wish: Younger: “I could get out of here.” Older: “...”

❛ You have no regrets as I do ? ❜

the last unicorn starters >> accepting!

“Of course I have regrets, but not about becoming a Summoner.” A delicate hand tucked her hair behind her ear. “I chose this path knowing what it meant. Not just for me, but for Spira. I can’t have regrets about it knowing what it will mean for all of Spira.”

@luck-crowned

☼ –

Cdibet vilgehk drehk. These patrol machina sucked, and there was nothing she could do about it without better parts, and unless someone around here developed... sandometric mind powers, then... well. As Cid liked to say, fecr eh uha ryht, cred eh dra udran - caa frelr vemmc ib vencd. So she’d do her best with what she had. Even if that meant she sometimes felt like she was trying to sculpt glass with a chainsaw. She’d dropped her tool bag out of frustration on seeing the thing, and it now sat a few paces from where she sat, legs straight out in front of her, half-slumped over this mess of a machine. Without looking up, she called out to someone who was passing close enough to save her the second it would take to get up and fetch it. “Hey - drnuf sa dryd, fuimt oui?”

F, M, GDW: Lautrec, Siegmeyer, Patches. B)

get drunk with siegmeyer. definitely. there’s no other option, really. he’s perfect.

marry patches. he despises him, but who doesn’t? and that in itself could be useful. he’ll keep him at an arm’s length, though. always. then, i guess that leaves...

fuck lautrec. well, at least he’s not terribly unfortunate looking. and he wants him dead, anyway. so, it’ll be a perfect kill right after.

Salt that margarita: ☀, ☁, ❀

salt me;

what’s your rp pet peeve? honesty; now, i know that this is a little vague, so allow me to explain. what i really mean here is labeling. all of this semi-selective/selective/private/whatever bullshit that people put on their blogs pisses me off. for one thing, there’s no universal meaning for any of those terms. so, let’s just be real from the get-go. if you’re open to meeting/writing with new people, say so. if not, that’s okay but say that too. don’t act like you’re open to interaction if you aren’t. it doesn’t make you a bad person to not be. maybe you’re busy. maybe your mental health won’t allow it. maybe you just don’t want to write with a particular blog at that moment. that’s okay. guess what? you can always open yourself to new things when you’re up for it. now, i get this is a complicated issue and i’m oversimplifying a lot here. but, my pet peeve is for people to decline ideas/invitations to write and then sit there and whine about having nothing to do. i promise people are out there if you really are bored. reach out. we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t want to write. i’d just like some transparency, okay?

have you ever forgiven a partner when you shouldn’t have? absolutely; i tolerated so much bullshit in my previous fandom that i definitely shouldn’t have… so many times. why? well, this will sound stupid, but i really wanted to do my muse justice. i wanted to give people a chance. i wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt. i wanted to be a face in the fandom that really stood for giving people a chance or the boost they needed to get out there and i thought i could do that since i had been around so long. and i was and i did, i think, for some people. but eventually, there came a point where i got so worn down from being stepped on or used, that i just couldn’t do it anymore. and that sucked. on top of that, other people also had to suffer for my tolerance and that sucked, too. but, it was valuable lesson and one i’m glad i learned. and believe me: i did.

what has made you completely lose your chill? theft; when i see people stealing content, i absolutely lose it. it’s happened to me and my friends more times than i can count. and honestly, it never gets any easier to cope. naturally, i’m more upset with it’s happening to a friend than to myself; but, it all sucks. stop doing it. stop it. i get it; accidents happen. i’ve used art without permission before and guess what? i dealt with it like an adult. so can you. if you like someone’s art, just tell them. ask them if you can use it. if you like someone’s meta, talk to them about it. make a friend. collaborate. have a conversation. don’t just rip someone. because, eventually, it will come back on you. it may take a while, but karma really is a bitch. it always, always does.

leviathkand replied to your post “.”

I WOULD GHOST HUNT WITH HER. also, I mean... he's kinda a ghost or COULd be, so like... maybe could do something what that also?? idk lol

teed z ,, you’re the good kind tho we won’t exorcise u PROMISE. I think translating to FFX she’d be a good tracker of big fiends or particularly nasty ones bc in her source material she goes off chasing this “feeling” she has like there’s someone who can’t move on without help and she can provide that help??? ? On her own she’d suck as an actual fiend hunter though, canonically weakest even if she can use magic better than the others. I am thinking about this now. Hmmm. hmmmmm

luck-crowned replied to your post “.”

oh man what would that mean when she's around Unsent? would she be affected at all, or would there be some sort of low-level connection, or would she be a destabilizing influence on the Unsent's physical form?

Depends, I think if they were a malicious sort (eg Seymour), she’d be used really easily by them, she’s possessed once or twice in her game, though she threatens to kill Edward under the influence of a dead murderer she doesn’t actually go through with it bc she shakes him off before they get in a legit fight. The possibility is implied though. If they weren’t (someone like Auron, A Normal Non-Weird Person), she’d know they were Unsent and she might have an idea of what they were thinking or feeling as long as it was at the forefront of their mind - but not as a whole, if that makes sense. Like listening to someone talk to themselves from another room. Most of her ghostly interactions are just her hearing voices of dead people not directed at her, its how she figures out what they need before they can go. She does seem to aggravate certain personalities. Like the guy who threatened Edward did it because he didn’t want them in “his” place. The more violent ones and the ones who don’t WANT to move on find her intolerable.

WHY ARE U PPL MAKING ME THINK BOUT THIS I--
