PCA Character Meme: Methelza
18 years ago
Taken from
kaemantis as was the character suggestion. I might do another one if there's interest.
> Basics <
+ What's your character's name? +
Methelza Muma. Some call her Mel for short but she really doesn't like it.
+ How old is she/he? +
Hard to say, given that as a living ghost she's more or less immortal. Her aging process isn't really based on chronological measures, but proportionately she would be about 17.
+ Gender? +
Female
+ What's his/her race? +
Misdreavus
> Appearance <
+ If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get? +
Oh a lot. Unless she popped up in a major goth hangout, then she might not even be noticed.
+ Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?+
Geez, who's to say what's "normal" for a living ghost in a poke-world? For her type? She's pretty abnormal. She came into existence and matured entirely in the realm of mortals, which is extremely rare and somewhat shunned by other ghost types. And then there's those chains...
+ What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)? +
The long hooked chains bonded to her wrists. She can't remove them, and they're pretty distinctive. Her mother has them too but she isn't nearly as open about displaying them. Methelza seems to flaunt them where the rest of her family views them with some shame.
+ Would you consider your OC as attractive? +
I've been told that she's pretty hot for a ghost.
> Personality <
+ Temper? +
Usually Methelza is too sullen and brooding to be truly angry. That doesn't mean she isn't capable. She's very scary when she's angry. VERY scary.
+ Leader or Follower? +
She doesn't take orders but isn't the type to go around giving them either. She's more of a lone wolf. Does what she wants without much concern for the whims of flash in the pan short lived mortals.
+ What is the main aspect of her personality? +
A very sullen and scheming girl with an agenda. She's a user, no doubt. She tends to evaluate everyone based on how they can be of use to her and her goals. Not exactly the warm and fuzzy type.
> History <
+ Does your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive? +
She has an immediate family, her mother. Can't really call her "alive" though. Nobody is really sure what happened to the rest of her ancestors, whether or not they're alive, dead, somewhere in between, or neither. Methelza's mother never talks about them and Methelza has never really cared to ask.
+ Has she encountered any traumatizing events? +
She was born into servitude to an elder spirit because of a pact that she had nothing to do with. Nah, nothing traumatic there.
+ What was probably the best time in his/her life so far? +
Her success in not having any good times. Like the Garbage song goes, she's only happy when it rains.
> Romance <
+ Single? +
Yes, and not looking, or caring
+ Has your OC developed any romantic relationships? +
Such frivolous mortal concerns are beneath her.
+ Virgin? +
Yes. See above.
+ Does your character like flirting? +
She doesn't even know how.
> Symbolism <
+ What animal would you associate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!) +
Hm... toughie... I would probably have to go with a scorpion
+Musical Instrument+
No, but she has a very good singing voice.
+ Element? +
Um.. the supernatural?
+Planet+
No idea, I don't do that whole astrology thing. I'll go with Mars though, because it sounds cool.
> Showing the Love <
+ Do you draw your character? +
Not as often as I should.
+ Do you write about them? +
In my head? All the time. On paper? Not so much.
+ Do you use him/her in any rps? +
No.
+What Other ways have you appreciated your character+
She's the most "visual" of my characters, that is when I picture her fighting it's very "cinematic" if that makes sense.
> RANDOMIZE! <
+ Is your character wanted for anything? +
Nope.
+ What are three weaknesses in him/her? +
- She's paranoid that the elder spirit that she's indebted to will find out about her dealing behind his back and the consequences thereof.
- She doesn't really like or trust anyone, which leads to reciprocal feelings. Ironically her motivation and cause is just and noble, and there are probably lots of people who would help her achieve it, but she's just too sullen and distrustful to ever allow it.
- She focuses on long-term goals and her grand plan so much that she ignores lots of opportunities that pass right under her nose. Well if she had a nose...
+Strengths? +
- Methelza is cunning, conniving, and underhanded as all get out. Great qualities in a fight. Lots of others view her as the weakest member of Team Jet, but that's mainly because the others are so physically dominant. But Methelza is more than capable of throwing down with the best of them.
-Her ability to control and manipulate those chains on her wrist, something completely out of the norm, never fails to catch opponents off guard. It's just not something that they've ever had to deal with before, and not something you can learn in any classroom.
- She's strengthened by feelings of depression and angst. And she's in high school. Do the math.
+ What's one quirk about your OC? +
She has a large collection of truly terrible horror movies, the sort of embarrassing schlock that late-nite cable would be ashamed to show. It's the closest thing to a comedy you'll ever catch her watching.
+ Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)? +
No, what's the point?
+ Does your character have any phobias? +
She's scared to death of the elder spirit that pretty much has the rights to her soul. She's afraid he'll find out about her efforts to overthrow him which leads her to be much more secretive than she really needs to be.
+ What could you do to get them into a blind rage? +
Sell her out to above mentioned spirit.
+ Does your OC like chickens? +
No, chickens are too dumb to know fear.
> The Final Question <
+ What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like? +
We're nothing at all alike, night and day in fact. She reminds me of the people in high school that I tried very hard to ignore.
