View Full Version : One thing we don't know about your character.

One of the things I love so much about us as a group of writers is that we tend to make characters that rise beyond archetypes and tropes. Our characters become unique living beings with their own quirky little idiosyncrasies that may utterly contradict some other part of them, but make those characters so much more believable.
So in the spirit of that kind of discovery, tell us something about a character you write that nobody knows yet IC. Fair warning, this information is still in an OOC-only environment so let's be good RPers and not fall prey to insider trading.
One character per post, one secret per post.

I am a very good singer, and had voice lessons for years as a child.

I named my ship Layla because that was the name of my first crush on Nar Shaddaa. She broke my heart and I never forgot about her.

Since my divorce, I fill every moment of my waking time with work, so that I don't have time to think about her anymore.

I can spot a fake purse, watch, pair of glasses, etc a mile away because I used to sell fake designer goods on the street corner to middle classers and tourists.

I prefer to wear floor length dresses whenever possible, both to hide my fat ankles from view and also to wear house shoes underneath (if I can get away with it)

I am quite possibly the worst dancer in the galaxy. I attempt it when no one is looking but I have to swallow down a panic attack if I'm ever forced to dance in a place where people might be watching.

I speak very posh but I came from a lower working class family and have put a lot of effort into speaking like a lady of quality. With enough drink or in a fit of emotion, my gutter brogue comes out in my words.

I married a much wealthier woman and am a 25 year veteran of a completely joyless marriage. I'm almost positive my wife cheats on my at any given chance when I'm on a tour of duty.

in the future I had an affair with Salem Ave and had a baby. Shortly afterward I was frozen into carbonite and put in a safe place where no one would find me. I don't know it yet myself, but I've been frozen for ~20 years.

When I was a Padawan, nobody ever remembered my birthday, so one year I bought myself a cake and ate all of it. That was a really bad idea. But at least I had a birthday cake.

I sass-mouth people who annoy me in ultra high frequency Herglese so they can't hear it. But it makes me feel better to say it to their faces and avoid the consequences.

My parents let me play with Builder Blox as a kid. When I left home, I kept one of my Bloxmen with me. I still have it, and when I fly, I keep it on the dash of my A-Wing.

I stole my nickname "The Rancor of Malastare". I found it scratched into the door of a stall I was in when I was pinching a loaf, and liked the sound of it.

I am the reincarnated soul of Sith Apprentice Jezreal Darkshard of the Sith Order. Despite my horrid nature I came from a loving family. The turning point in my life was when my Brother and I were gunned down by the Empire in an ambush.

I have a thing for twinks, ladyboys, and other men smaller than me. It gives me a sense of power and control to dominate them.

I am not a real person: I was cloned from Jedi DNA in a lab by an Imperial(ish) project, and imprinted with a false personality and memories. I was placed within the Imperial hierarchy with no real goals or intentions, but when the opportunity came to manoeuvre me into Moffship on Corellia, my creators couldn't pass up the opportunity.
By the TFA era, I have discovered the truth about what I am. I have chosen to make myself Supreme Leader of the First Order of my own volition - the first "free" choice I have ever made. (Or at least, I hope it was a free choice, though that nagging doubt is always there)
Lúka Jibral

I was the Padawan of Inyos Aamoran, but I was killed by the Empire during the Jedi Purge. I was brought back as a clone by the same people who made Delgado Xaanan, programmed to believe that I am the "real" one. That is why I was assigned to protect the Empire's experiments/archives in the Maw: not because I was trusted, but because I was one of the prototypes myself.

I am a clone too; Delgado and Lúka are my brothers. I was never programmed with a false personality: I had a mental breakdown while I was still a blank slate, and escaped the facility. The project threw together a fake identity for me to help cover their tracks; for a while, I believed I was a real person suffering from amnesia. Recently though (in a thread that unfortunately isn't finished yet) I found out what I was when Lúka used a code word to "control" me, and I am now struggling to come to terms with the fact that I am not a real boy.

I don't recognise myself any more. I have been trying to "fake it until you make it" for so long that the happy-go-lucky flirty optimist that I pretend to be has become my default setting. Underneath it all I feel lost and alone, and would give anything to feel like I actually belong.

Being cantankerous and irritable used to be just an act for me, trying to copy my father; but nowadays I've forgotten how to stop acting. Deep down, my pilots and my crew are all family, and I would gladly die a hundred times over to save each and every one of them. (Except you, Felcher - you're a dick and I really do despise you)

When I was a young ISB officer, my fiancée was outed as a Rebel spy, who'd been using me for my security access. I was the one who killed her, and since then I've had trouble trusting anyone or letting anyone get close.

Though Yon is now a butcher of fine meats, Yon became The Butcher when Yon was being a bounty hunter.
Yon was having a reputation for brutality.
Yon is not remembering how many men Yon has killed.

I meditate for about 20 minutes a day. This enables me to keep a grip on my emotions making me harder to read. Even Force users find me a bit of a mystery.

I tend to get the hiccups a lot. Usually after the first first bite of something spicy, but it's also happened at times after the first sip of a draught beer.

I'm terrified of going back to Nehantish. In my head, as long as I don't go there, nothing will have changed. My family will still be alive, and things will be just as I left them.
Just as long as I never go back home.

My parents were left out to dry during a raid by the crimelord that they owed money to. He took my brother as payment and raised him, though neither of us know that yet.
