From this list of not-so-nice OC Questions. I’m still taking these if you’re curious about my OC’s deep dark secrets!
36. Are they in control of their emotions, or are their emotions in control of them?
He’s in control of his emotions. He’s a very down-to-earth person, and is very open with his feelings, but he is also in a good mental place and his emotions hardly ever get the better of him.

44. What’s one thing they wish they could do more often, but can’t?
Stan would love a vacation. As much as he loves his work, it’s a near-constant cycle of near-death experiences. If he could take a few weeks off and go abroad with Nathan, they would have the time of their lives. Backpacking in Peru, hitting up one of the Disney parks, maybe even visit Hobbiton in New Zealand. Some time to relax is hardly ever an option for him, alas.

From this list of not-so-nice OC Questions. Still taking these if you’re curious about my OC’s deep dark secrets
12. Have they ever done something illegal? What was it?
Seeing as she’s a borrower, human rules and laws don’t really apply to her. If they did, she’d be six feet deep in minor counts of theft.
32. Do they have a bad relationship with their parents?
Yes. She and her mother had a terrible relationship.
37. Have they ever had their freedom taken away?
She’s been trapped at least a couple of times in her life, and in one AU she was caged and experimented on. No fun.

5. List 3 fears; one “surface level” fear, one “repressed” fear, and one “deep dark” fear.
Here we go.
Surface level: Not in a jump-on-a-chair-in-fright way, but he doesn’t much care for spiders. Too many legs and eyeballs.
Repressed: he fears bringing danger to his loved ones. Nate teases him about being paranoid, but it’s derived from the real risks that come with Stan’s job. He tries to keep it under control, but he takes any precaution he sees necessary to protect Nathan, even wearing his engagement ring on a chain so bad guys don’t notice it and realize he has a loved one to exploit.
Deep dark: In a similar vein, Stan is terrified of letting people down and failing to protect them. For the most part, his confidence in his abilities keeps him from worrying about this too often, but he would fall into a dark place if this fear was ever realized.
28. Is there a certain type of person that disgusts them?
People who show complete disregard for other people’s lives disgust him.
38. Have they ever been imprisoned?
Human Stan has never been to prison or imprisoned. The same cannot be said about borrower Stan.
Oscar: 15, 18 or 20
( From this post )
More questions for poor Oscar. I’m gonna go ahead and do all three, since they haven’t already been asked for him. ^^
15. Who do they hate the most?
In most AUs, Oscar is actually too isolated from people to hate someone. In the sad AU, however, he hates Thomas, the first human that caught him and launched him into all the trials that followed.
18. Is there a certain flavor that disgusts them?
He doesn’t get enough food in general, so he decided early on that he liked food, no matter what it was. If it’s edible and fills up his tiny little tummy, he likes it. That said, he probably wouldn’t like flavors like sauerkraut. He’d still eat it if it was all he had, but the flavor would earn a few grimaces.
20. Do they consider themselves unloveable?
He hasn’t decided this about himself, but sometimes he does wonder. He’s lived so much of his life by himself. He did once or twice worry that his mother left because she didn’t want to come back to him, but he knows that isn’t true. That said, the boy is extremely touch starved and if he was given a hug (by someone who saw him as an equal, at least), he would all but melt into that contact.
Jacob: 5, 35; Bowman: 1, 13; Elias: 3, 9; Eral: 15, 25
( From this post )
So many! ❤ My lesser known bbys get a chance to shine, too.
5. List 3 fears; one “surface level” fear, one “repressed” fear, and one “deep dark” fear.
Surface Level Fear: He fears being clumsy around the sprites
Repressed Fear: He used to have a fear of getting so lost no one would ever find him. This has worn down somewhat, but he does make sure to bring a compass when he goes hiking.
Deep Dark Fear: He’s afraid of forgetting what his dad was like. As the years go by, it’s harder and harder to remember, and this bothers him at the back of his mind.
35. If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be?
Jacob is very secure in his sense of self after a lot of self meditation and such, but he knows he can always improve. He would probably try to aim for knowing what to say in somber situations, because he really doesn’t know what to say; they’re like his weak point and he might just go for an awkward pat on the back or a somewhat lame condolence.
1. What is one word to shut them up?
If that’s even possible with Bowman, haha. In all seriousness, it’s not a word but a threat against his wings will definitely give him pause. Not a very long pause, mind.
13. Which of the 7 Deadly Sins best describes them?
Pride, for sure. Bowman is super proud of his wings and his skills. The other sins don’t really fit him much at all, either. Wrath is a solid maybe, but he’s really just all bluster.
3. What is the worst pain they’ve ever experienced?
Elias has been in a lot of fights, and some of them were pretty bad. He would say that the worst pain was a gut wound, one that nearly wiped him out completely. However, the actual worst pain he’s dealt with was more metaphysical. In last year’s nanowrimo project, he had a good deal of his divinity ripped out of him. It hurt deeply, even if he didn’t recognize it right away.
9. What is their greatest physical weakness?
This is a tough question for a character who’s already so strong as a baseline. But, as a mortal, Elias has plenty of weaknesses. However, in his canon, there is a material called Korvasin Grey Metal that would cause many of his demigod magics to flee for a time, and that would leave him really vulnerable.
15. Who do they hate the most?
He hasn’t encountered them again since he met them, but he hates the poachers who came into his forest and killed pretty much every other arbor pixie with a misfired magical trap. It wasn’t meant for them, but that doesn’t stop him from resenting these people, and the fact that they took him away after that doesn’t help either.
25. Have they ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust?
He used to travel with a group of adventurers before he met Elias. One of them actually sold him to a black market at one point, and he almost didn’t manage to escape. When he did, there was some hell to pay.
