[Meme] Kyio's Luceti Q&A: Asch
Q&A
1) Height: 171cm / 5'7"
2) Weight: 68 kg / 150 lbs. Using the muscled Body Mass Index calculator, he's got a nice healthy BMI of 20, calculated here.
3) Eye color/Hair Color: His eyes are green. His hair is red, the colour of traditional Baticul royalty- it's a deep crimson, darkening at the end. Since Luke's hair does the opposite (or rather it did when he had long hair) I sort of assume the colour gradient is a product of his replication.
4) Age: 20 (That's using the Auldrant calendar, which is 765 days long :|)
5) Voice: Asch is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in English, the version I prefer on account of the fact that Japanese!Asch sounds like an elderly chainsmoker. He speaks more gruffly than Luke, presumably to make himself sound older. He doesn't do that as much as he used to, though. You can hear it here. (In which Asch makes absolutely no sense. Woo~)
6) Who does the housework in their house/apartment?: Guy does the majority of 'em. Asch helps out when he's in the mood, but less so now since he knows Guy gets twitchy when he can't do them D|
7) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Asch loves anything with chicken, preferring to cook with it. He also has a weakness for cherry cordials. He hates seafood, particularly octopi, and carrots. Guy does most of the cooking, but Asch churns out a meal every now and then. Natalia and Luke are Not Allowed In The Kitchen. 8|
8) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Practices swordsmanship, lurks around the house to check up on the area, quiet espionage... little things to keep up his skills. He's been using the Battle Dome a lot recently, mostly to practice his hyperresonance without causing danger to others. Occasionally he goes to hang out with Guy at Good Spirits.
9) Their general sense of fashion: He's pretty stiff and proper in general, and sticks with what he knows. Sometimes he'll just wear his uniform, with or without the tabard, depending on the weather, or clothes similar to that. He prefers dark colours, just about any shade but red. Lately he's been trying new outfits, though they still have the same overall style- comfortable yet formal wear, sometimes long, flowing robes. Stuff he's used to. Good examples would be this, this, this, or this.
10) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Asch has been doing some sketching lately, and while he's still only really good with technical sketches, he's been progressively getting better at it. He has a sketchbook tucked away somewhere far out of sight (in his own room), though he's quickly filling it up. He tries to do one sketch a day, and whatever he draws that he doesn't like gets thrown in the fireplace.
11) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Replicas, primarily. He's met a number of people with strange circumstances (characters who are copies, have alternate selves, are possessed, etc. etc.) and he's... sort of adjusted to his own bizarre life. More importantly he's learned to, if not appreciate, tolerate Luke's existence in his life, and when they're apart now and then he misses that extra presence in his head, since he'd gotten so used to... well. Not being alone is the best way to put it.
12) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Asch has two weapons, the Incomplete Key of Lorelei and his Maestro sword. He never uses the Key except for special reasons (eg. when he and Luke attempted to break the barrier), since he feels more comfortable leaving it safe at home. He usually keeps his sword around, though. A person like him is bound to end up in a random fight sooner or later.
13) Who are their neighbors?: Residents of houses 2, 3, 4 & 6. He doesn't really talk with them, though.
14) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: It's been over two years now, since his arrival, and Asch has changed a lot in Luceti, actually. Not only with his relationships with Guy and Luke, but he's actually managed to make some friends, which would have been pretty unheard of when he arrived initially. He's mellowed out a bit, and while he'll never completely get over his bitchy nature, he's grown enough to know when it's okay to tease and be teased. He smiles and even laughs sometimes, too, but it takes someone he really trusts to get that much out of him.
15) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Asch likes to keep to himself for the most part, so he sticks to his own house, the woods of the surrounding area, and Guy's bar. He visits the Battle Dome once a day if the weather allows, and he also goes to the southern lake on occasion.
16) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Asch's wings are silver; he pretty much flattens them under his uniform, since the tabard tends to hide the little bulge they cause. In warm weather he sometimes keeps them out.
17) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: He's gotten a little bit taller, and his hair is longer in the front now. He's been leaving his bangs down sometimes, since Guy said he looked better that way, but old habits die hard, so he still keeps them up most of the time.
18) What do they miss the most from home?: A set and achievable goal. He'd almost reached it- Van had almost been defeated. Sure, he'd been in the process of dying, but he's aware that his death gave Luke the boosted hyperresonance to kill Van. That bothers him sometimes. In Luceti he feels without purpose a lot, so when something comes up that he might be useful for, he'll probably dive in head first.
19) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: Asch's handwriting is neat, quick, and precise; there's no real flowery look to it, though it does have a slight flare since the language of his world looks so musical and rounded. His handwriting is probably easier to follow than his speech, since he feels more confident about being straight to the point without offending anyone when it's text.
20) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Not terribly. He's more inclined to get irritated and bitch someone out in person; over the journals he can just shut it and wander off for a while |D Convenient, that. But Asch has been known to walk away from an annoying conversation even in person, so... hit and miss with him, regardless of circumstance.
21) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Pretty much what was mentioned in #18; Asch's goal was killing Van, and by dying and coming to Luceti, he lost the chance to succeed in that. It's what he lived for- first it was to follow Van's ideals, then once he learned the truth of what the commandant was planning, it was to stop him. Asch lives a very complicated existence, and either here or there, it doesn't matter to him. He needs something to accomplish. In Luceti... Asch is torn.
22) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's pretty similar, now; when he first arrived it was a downgrade, but with the advances Luceti's gotten, he's more used to the modern conveniences. His is a world where they don't have phones but they have methods of teleporting from the core of the world to the surface :|; it's weird.
23) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?: N/A
24) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: For one, he has a natural gift of hyperresonance- that is, the power to deconstruct or reconstruct matter. He's better at the whole "deconstruct" bit, but it's on his list of things to learn (besides getting the hang of utilizing it in battle).
For another, Asch... is basically a human version of the sentient collection of sound fonons, Lorelei. Which is sort of like a god, if Auldrant had them >_>; So basically Asch is very in tune with sound, music, whatnot. Like Luke, he could probably sing well if he tried, and excel at music, but he kind of has a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with it. Soooo he ignores it as much as possible and focuses on hyperresonance.
25) Anything else you want to note?: SEE HERE FOR CANON/FANON TL;DR.
