Note- Please wait until Orientation is over to post in here. Rules:
- Anyone may ask questions, but please wait until it's been awhile without them to aks your own.
- You MUST answer with long answers. I do not want 1-2 sentence answers for in-depth questions. Put as much as you can into these answers, and if you start to and want to, actually start to flesh out a scene for them as an answer. Think of this like a real-life interview, where short answers just don't make the cut.
- You can enter late and or leave early if you have to, I don't mind.
Okay, I'm going to wait for at least one person to join before I start asking questions. Which will be awhile since Orientation JUST started and it usually goes on for quite awhile.

Alright, awesome! First thing is first:
Name off a few things that your characters like, and name off a few things that they enjoy doing.

Ethan is a sucker for the jungle. He adores everything about Sumatra, especially the rainforest and what it beholds. He is fascinated by all animals, orangutans in particular. He loves exploring the secrets that the jungle holds and adventuring through the trees to discover new flowers and fruits. There's no denying it, Ethan just absoloutly loves exoctic natue. And a few other little random details would be that he likes 'fluorescent food' because it looks appealing, baggy clothes because they feel nice, the smell of books because it seems intellectual, and funny things because they're....funny. What he enjoys most is being with his friends and family, specifically his sister. He liked her cheery company. But now she's gone, and so he can only find comfort in his dependant tiger cub, Ratu. Ratu is a very cute, pleasurable creature.

Holly loves the forests, the cool freedom of them, where she can leapt lightly through the branches and talk to her wild kin. She loves acorns, but thinks salted peanuts are evil. She has a gentle side but because of the war in her world, she has had to hide that and has a tough prickly outer shell which takes awhile to get through. Once friends though, she is loyal and gentle, even sweet...though she won't be too happy if you spread that around.
She is an exellent archer, an expert up there with Swordsmaster Jakimeaus and Master Shifter Faia, who helped her with archery in her shifted form. Basically, she is very, very good. And not too bad at hand-to-hand, but she isn't heavy enough to be really good. She has a finer bone structure and no heavy muscle, as well as a tendency to leap backwards at any chance she gets and reach for her bow.
She is absolute poo at swordsmanship. I mean, she has issues with swords. They hate her. And she them. (oops, some of that wasn't relevant (hehe, like that word) but oh well)
She likes: acorns forests other squirrels cashews honey roasted peanuts (a rare delicacy) archery hotpools people that don't annoy her and aren't trying to kill her (bit too much of that happening lately. wonder why.)

Rye loves to play soccer. She's on the team, and even though she dislikes her teammates, it doesn't stop her from playing. Rye also loves talking to Mollie (who, despite his name, is a teenage boy) after she meets him. Mollie is a great listener and becomes her best friend, so she has fun chatting with him at the supermarket where he works.

Narthas can't keep still in one place for too long, completely going against the nature of his kind. It was after the destruction of the Old World did he make a conscious decision that he would like to preserve it somehow, and that's what got him into architecture/engineering. It was an almost all-consuming obsession for centuries. He still enjoys building projects as it requires serious attention to detail in drawing up the plans, and he also enjoys life drawing in his spare time. Of course, he also doesn't mind a good drink with his friends or some good-natured duels (preferring to avoid archery, as it isn't his forte).

I'll join this with Kia if that's alright.
Kia's favorite thing in the world to do is stand at the shooting range and empty bullets into a target, preferably a creature shaped one with blood effects, or manage dragons in the mountains with only a base crew.
She likes nothing better than the smell of fire, burning pine trees and ash filled air, damp ash after a summoned storm puts it out. Coffee in the mornings, rock music, and guys stuck full of body piercings.

Yee! Okay, here's Arriwoe...
On Hespera / Arasoo-Adauso (what the Perdu call their planet), warmth is pretty much all you get, even at night, so she LOVES the sunlight and the warmth and the desert-appearance of the place. She loves to eat things that are grown, and has an affinity for the grass that Rufina brought back from the agriculture bay on the Incandescence. She loves to sightsee and spy on people, seeing the things that they do, and try to understand the Perdu ways that each one displays, and especially likes to do it on humans, as she doesn't understand them and their anger one bit.
Some things that she enjoys doing, aside from sightseeing, are eating things that she's ever tasted before. You'll usually find her going around Hespera to find places that she's never been before, and eating their odd delicacies. She loves to try new things, from shooting Rufina's taser to sharing a kiss with a human, though Arriwoe is a little to crazy to be romantic.
Next question: What things really, really, get under your character's skin?

Next question: What things really, really, get under your character's skin?
The day that her parents broke it to her that they were getting a divorce, they were acting pleasant to each other in the morning. Rye noticed they were acting unusually nice to each other. It turns out they were acting... and simply because of that she began to distance herself from them. She really hated that her parents were lying. One other thing that gets under her skin- Raymond. Raymond is the school bully, a rich boy who thinks he owns the school. Rye loathes him, especially if he calls her by her cruel nickname, White Bread, a jab to her name and pale skin.

Arriwoe, like the rest of the Perdu, does not get angry, but there are things that she doesn't like. For instance, her parents, the Zraa and Xhori of Hespera. She doesn't appreciate their views toward other races, or the views of most of the Hesperan figureheads. Also, she doesn't like incompetence. While Arriwoe is very capable of forgiving people and giving second chances, she doesn't like it when people refuse to fix their mistakes or try to improve, especially when that person becomes a burden to her. She also is bothered by close-mindedness and power-hungry individuals. She learned about this mistake a long time ago, so when she chose her retinue, she wanted everyone to have an equal say in the way the rebellion worked. I will wait for further responses before I go into another question.
