Marsden
1) Marsden is actually from the Wilds naturally! His parents were refugees, and he moved to Anglos when he was a small boy (so no accent), but comes from a long, proud lineage of highlanders!
2) He's totally oblivious when it comes to love, he has no idea that Mathilda has a bit of a thing for him (which she tries to hide by nagging him)
3) He doesn't get drunk, he likes to keep his wits about him! Never know when you're going to have to defend yourself...
4) It's basically impossible to offend him, he loves all kinds of dirty and off-color jokes.
5) His sense of taste is pretty poor, he likes sour flavors because it's one of the only things he can actually taste!
6) He is very fond of Rosamund and her brothers, since he essentially watched all of them grow up! He was closest to her when she was little, but when she hit puberty she started to shun him, perhaps due to her mother's influence. He often misses those old days, but he is also proud of how Rosamund has grown into a well-mannered young lady B>
7) Marsden is a very skilled fighter, though perhaps his greatest weakness is speed. He can take a huge beating (he was fully conscious when he lost his leg), but he is a very easy target due to his slowness...
8) He isn't particularly devout, but his infrequent prayers always go to Terrakion!
Rosamund
1) Rosamund actually has struggled a lot with her self-confidence in the past, but her mother made sure she grew out of that uncertainty; a noble lady should not carry herself so shyly. She still has a difficult time accepting compliments, though!
2) She likes "dry" tastes like wine, and is particularly fond of dishes like beef bourguignon! Her favorite type of berry is eggant
3) She is actually quite sharp-witted, and can do math in her head very easily. She's also quite good at chess!
4) She grows sharp thorns at the tip of her tail near all the leaves, which she usually plucks to keep from snagging on her clothes.
5) Her move is leaf blade, which manifests as a long, sharp stiletto-like thorn that grows from her wrist... Very Assassin's Creed! She has basically never used it, because it is socially unacceptable for a woman to use a move in a public place in her time period... Plus it's a very unladylike thing, in her eyes.
6) Her favorite color is red, though she tends not to wear it because it clashes with her hair!
7) Her middle name is Helena, after her mother.
8) She always wanted a pet as a child, but her father never approved of the idea. Her husband obliged her though, and got her a fletchling! The fletchling grows into a handsome talonflame, which she uses for hawking (falconry) now and then. The bird's name is Igniferi!
Doreen
1) Doreen is actually one of 6 siblings! She's the oldest by a far margin, and often acts as babysitter... Which is something she doesn't like to do, but never complains about!
2) She has a part time job as a phone operator! She sort of likes it, working with the switchboard is fun for her (you have to remember, she's a teenager in what is basically the 60s)
3) She actually wears braces on her knees, which are very weak as a complication of her early evolution. She goes to an all-girls school with a uniform that has a skirt, but she managed to convince the principal to let her wear pants instead, so she could sort of hide the braces and avoid being made fun of for them.
4) She gets bullied a fair bit anyway, mostly for being nerdy and smart. But she doesn't let them get to her, and refuses to do their homework for them! Her friend Mary isn't so lucky... but Doreen tries to stick up for her whenever possible.
5) Doreen's father is a police detective, he's very dedicated to his work! She looks up to him a lot, though doesn't often get to spend time with him, since he's so busy with work. Her mother is a nurse, and also has a drinking problem. She's not a mean drunk though, she just tends to be really giggly and irresponsible... Doreen is pretty used to it, and doesn't really care, though she herself isn't at all interested in drinking, drugs, or partying
6) Doreen LOVES audio equipment, and music (to a lesser degree, lol). Her favorite band is a somewhat Beatles-ish group called "Hawkin's Lot," who are pretty popular!
7) Her favorite color is gray! Which is funny, because it's part of her middle name
8) She loves to drink tea and black coffee, and she's one of the few kids who has always liked eating her vegetables. She hates spicy food though, avoids it like the plague!
Lynette
1) Lynette is a ballet dancer typically, but she likes all kinds of dance! Hip-hop is her second favorite.
2) Her work situation is often really unpredictable and bizarre, so she has a part time job at pokemart to help pay the bills! Luckily she can transfer between stores if her dance career takes her far away, so in a way it's a perfect combo for her!
3) She's pretty friendly and boisterous, a true extrovert! She loves the limelight and can be competitive, sometimes to an obnoxious degree. But, she does it in good fun!
4) She REALLY likes anal sex, even more than vaginal! Not really a fan of oral sex, but she can be persuaded.
5) She's looking for a steady boyfriend, but isn't really having a lot of luck in that field. She does like dating though, and doesn't really mind being single, most of the time!
6) She does have a meowth, to help stave off the loneliness of being single... His name is Pence!
7) She loves spicy food, and is the type of person to always take on those hot wing challenges.
8) Really doesn't like bitter tastes, is particularly not fond of coffee, or liquor. She does like a good cocktail or mixed drink, though!
Tako
1) Tako's favorite thing to eat used to be octopus or squid, but now she (understandably) no longer is comfortable eating such dishes!
2) She has a soft voice, but can really shout her head off when she's frustrated about something! When soufflés fall, or burns happen she can be heard very clearly...!
3) Before the incident that turned her into an octopus hybrid, Tako was very carefree and naive, even reckless. Now, she's become a lot more cautious. (Which is not a bad thing, really; giving a stranger a handjob in exchange for magical powers is a pretty bad idea,despite how well it worked out for her)
4) She always finds a way to dodge doing the dishes, she's made it a true art form!
5) As a dragon, she had your average fire breath, nothing particularly impressive there. Now, however, she has a sea-salt breath power which causes metals to rapidly corrode, and turns fresh water into seawater. She thinks it's pretty lame, and barely uses it (though it could be very effective for a number of things)
6) She tries to eat healthy, but ends up munching on the unhealthiest stuff she can find whenever she's upset or stressed out. Due to her robust figure, one can infer that she is very easily stressed out on the inside! (outside though, she's pretty quiet)
7) She likes to read, particularly thin, cheap paperbacks. Almost anything will do, though nothing does better than a cooking/home decorating magazine.
8) She has told her parents no fewer than six different stories about how she ended up part octopus, none of which mention the "gave a wizard a handjob part." (she's an awful liar)
Vasha
1) They're really good at telling stories, whenever called to do so around a campfire, or in a bar! The catch is, the stories are always true, from a past life...! Spooky
2) Due to their ghost hunt-y line of work, they're not really spooked by anything... Except bugs! They're very nervous around bugs, and often will try to avoid them altogether.
3) Vasha doesn't really like most foods, their own tastes are very very plain! like, breadcrust and raw vegetables plain.
4) Vasha's nature is hardy, but each of their egos has their own nature with their own strengths and weaknesses, and even their own preferences for food! Sometimes Vasha will come out of a trance (posession by another ego) with some icky weird taste in her mouth, from whatever the ego ate.
5) Vasha is actually a vegetarian! Their other selves, however, are most certainly not.
6) The Paladin is the most recent spirit, he died the very minute that Vasha was born. As such, the two of them have a very strong paranormal connection; they are able to predict what one another will say or do, almost like twins! Even the Seer finds it uncanny.
7) Vasha prays at every shrine, temple, church, and sacred site that they encounter in their travels, despite being agnostic.
8) Vasha's favorite pokemon are snubull, and granbull! They think they're really cute. Petting a snubull's belly is one of the only times you'll see Vasha smile with childlike wonder!
Rika Tenuto
1) Rika loves summertime, and going to the beach! As one can imagine, many other people love it when she goes to the beach too(hoho)
2) Her favorite instrument is the clarinet, played in jazzy fashion! Saxophone is a close second. She's dated a lot of jazz musicians, most of whom she knows from her job as a lounge singer!
3) She loves fried fatty doughy dessert-y foods, but always eats in moderation, to keep her figure. Her one true weakness is beignets, which she can never resist!
4) She's very sociable, and likes most people. It's frustrating to Cal, because she never seems to notice creepy people or lowlifes who want to hang around her, and treats everyone with the same sweet flirtatious attitude.
5) Her favorite color is "rainbow." Because apparently she's seven years old inside! Furthering this, she collects stuffed animals, and proudly displays them in her very nicely decorated 1960s style house
6) She likes to travel a lot, sightseeing, shopping, and looking for street musicians to tip! She often bugs Cal to come with her, but he hardly ever does.
7) Her least favorite things are thunderstorms, cats, smoke, and sour notes. She often bugs Cal and their mom to stop smoking, to little effect.
8) She doesn't really like pants, and only rarely wears anything that isn't a dress or skirt. She doesn't even really like tights or stockings, she likes having her legs bare!
1) Avie loves scented candles, and her home smells thoroughly obnoxious as a result. She's very interested in homemaking, mostly due to birdish nesting instincts.
2) She wants to have children someday, and dreams of having a large family! She thinks kids are the cyootest, and is good at talking to them
3) She rarely gets angry, and is more likely to just walk away from situations or people she doesn't like. She also doesn't hold grudges, and finds complaining to be useless
4) She loves videogames, but is sort of terrible at all of them... Except fighting games, which she has a weird instinctive skill at
5) She's largely a positive person, but tends to be brought down by the ill will of others... She thinks a lot about the world as a whole, and often feels personally responsible for things that are wrong with it, even though that's ridiculous.
6) Her favorite season is winter, even though she doesn't like the cold; she loves the holidays, ice skating, hockey, and the sight of snow though
7) She has a very flighty personality, and gives up very easily
8) Her hair is bleached: she's naturally a redhead
