hobo survey

[sockswithsandals]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Yotsuya is very tall and very thin. His limbs (and fingers) are too long for the rest of him.

2. How old is he?
Early twenties, probably...

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
KING OF SLOUCH AT YOUR SERVICE. There is an awful lot of him he has to fit into whatever vertical space he's in, so slouching is kind of compulsory. He also spends most of his time in shitty, dilapidated armchairs, which haven't helped his posture much. Sometimes he'll stand up straight For Effect. Overall he carries himself well, if incredibly lazy. He isn't clumsy.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Apparently in incredibly good health for a guy who lives on a rooftop and survives off vending machine drinks.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Oh I already said he's not clumsy, WELL, he isn't. His movements are- angular. He's sharp in his movements, but not in an oh what a badass how hardcore kind of way. Lots of sudden turns and short stops before he crashes into someone's face. It's entirely intentional, at least.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
He does not care at all what he looks like. Like, at all. In general, he borders on gaunt, and sometimes it looks like his eyes are too big for his skull and he has too many teeth, so--if you like facial contortionists, he's your man.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Very pale, and not in the pure and delicate way. Strictly "too creepy to go in the sun" here.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
It's. big. He has a lot of hair, doesn't style it, probably doesn't comb it much if at all. It's black, and he might be able to do something with it if he... ever combed it!! As it stands, he just washes and lets it dry how it falls, so even though it's clean it's probably ratty and not that smooth to touch.

9. What color are his eyes?
Grayish...

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Nope.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
Uh. pfff

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
He wears a white button-down with a black shirt underneath, and black pants that are too short for him, the ends of which he tucks into his plain white toe socks. He wears open toe sandals without backs and tops it off with a red tie he tucks into his shirt pocket.

I'm sorry.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Other than being too short, he never wears anything else.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
All school uniforms all the time. Sometimes, he puts on the blazer (but its sleeves are also too short).

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
leans away



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
I don't know...! :'''') Though it stands to reason that because his only hobby is storytelling, he has a voice that isn't terribly grating to listen to, and probably a limited range to which he can change pitch at will. For spooky effect.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He is out of control and all over the place at all times, unless he's telling a story. Then he GETS SERIOUS.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
god i don't know, giggling

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Japanese...

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Can't...!

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He is a fantastic impromptu speaker, actually. You wouldn't think he's a public speaking superstar, but he is.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Don't touch his stuff and he'll be articulate enough.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Book smart, despite claiming he still hasn't graduated middle school. It helps that he does very little besides read and observe people; he's good at psychological evaluation, and observant enough to pick out The Small Details of situations.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Could go either way.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
pfffffbb yotsuya having a process

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert. He pretends he doesn't exist...

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Mood swings although they're all kind of bullshit.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He doesn't pay much attention to new people unless they get him interested, actually. Most of the people he meets he only meets for a few minutes, scares the shit out of, and then never sees them again.

React.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
He can't fight, but he apparently won't run away....

No.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
SIT ON ROOF
TELL STORIES
EAT RED BEAN PRODUCTS

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
He is a real person with thoughts and emotions and hobbies and is basically completely normal, rather than the spooky, supernatural illusory spirit image he's carefully cultivated for himself.

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac ofchoice) sign? How well does he fit type?
I don't know!! I should give him a birthday it would be cute.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
UMMM well he believes in spirits and creatures like that, but I'm pretty sure it's not a religious belief...

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Yes, sort of--! He doesn't get involved in the stories he tells. Which, in real people language, means he won't do anything that would mark him as someone who could be the villain in a story. He'll observe and narrate but he won't do anything immediately awful to people. It began when he gave up being normal to be a homeless storyteller, I GUESS.

It is doubtful this is something that will be compromised.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
If they touch his desk or try to encroach upon his spooky domain, watch out!!!

Uh he kinda thinks everyone is a silly dummy. But.


Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
I'm pretty convinced he's homeless... or at least lives in relative squalor when he's not on a school rooftop. This doesn't bother him at all.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
hobo
I don't know about the rest, HE'S HAPPY WITH HIS LIFE.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
ROOF..... he has an armchair and a desk and some crates of books and magazines, and a shitty umbrella. It's broken.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
red bean soup

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
>for a living implying he gets paid NOTHING
Otherwise: he tells stories. Technically he helps people out by solving their problems, but he's too spooky to admit that. He loves it.

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
i'm not going to say it again
