Ok, it took me like two and a half hours, but I did Helena!!
It took me the better part of the day, but I did it. I did all three of my Bearers.
Helena
- What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Like five minutes, tops. Unless she’s doing nothing with someone she likes, they she can do nothing forever.
- How easy is it for your character to laugh?
Very easy, she’s always either trying to laugh something off, laughing nervously, laughing to break tension, laughing because something is funny, laughing because she dislikes silence…
- How do they put themselves to bed at night
Helena prefers going to bed in her cute pink full-set of pajamas, jumping onto her plush bed with more pillows than threadcount, pulls her covers up to her chin, turns onto her side, and falls asleep either hugging a teddy bear or a pillow.
But when she was on the run, she would sleep anywhere that was safe.
- How easy is it to earn their trust?
Far too easily.
- How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
Nearly impossible.
- Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
Immovable.
- What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
Oh shit, it’d be easier to list what doesn’t cause nostalgia for her.
Em…I suppose…money…?
Basically, she’s lived in her memories for so long as a way to deal with her homelessness, that nearly everything she does makes her relive the nice days when she was with Aunt Alice and Uncle Henry.
Like, I was going to list scissors, but then I figured she was probably one of those kids who came to school with hot pink and green scrapbooking scissors “just in case” and I’m absolutely certain that even watching sparrows hopping on the ground would remind her of all the times Uncle Henry would sneak her to a burger joint under Aunt Alice’s nose and they’d throw fries at the birds, and when they’d come home Aunt Alice would just shake her head and laugh because she always knew somehow but it was still fun for Helena to try and sneak.
And yeah, money is just so ubiquitous that I can’t imagine her forming any memories about money? It was something she never had the chance to place emotional value in as a child??? If that makes sense???
- What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
When she was five or six, Helena was slowly coming to understand object permanence, but for some inexplicable reason, they way only kid logic works, she thought that the fridge never went empty (to be fair, she was a small kid who couldn’t even open the fridge door half the time), and it certainly didn’t help that Aunt Alice would always grocery shop while Helena was at school.
So, imagine her surprise when she's about six years old and _finally_ manages the fridge door open to see there's no food.
“Aunt Aliiiiiiiiice! The fridge broke!!!”
Alice curses under her breath, sets her book down, and descends the stairs.
When she arrives in the kitchen, she finds Lena slamming and wrenching the fridge doors repeatedly.
“Of course it’ll break if you keep doing that,” Alice chastises and strides over to pull Lena away. When she opens the fridge, she’s confused: the lights are in working order, she doesn’t hear anything wrong with the humming motor, and the freezer is as cool as the North Wind. “Lena, what are you talking about? The fridge is fine.”
“No it isn’t! It’s broken!” Lena pushes herself between her aunt and the fridge. “Watch.”
Alice steps back to observe.
Lena yanks the door open with all her weight, gestures at the empty fridge, pushes the door closed, and then opens the door again and points accusingly at the empty fridge. “See? It’s broken!”
Alice can only shake her head. “I don’t understand.”
Lena smacks her own forehead with her tiny hands and sighs dramatically. “Ay ay ay,” she says, quoting Ricky Ricardo, and Alice considers not letting her watch I Love Lucy anymore to keep her from developing that worrisome sass.
“Every time I open the doors, it’s still empty!” Lena says as though it’s the most perfectly reasonable thing in the world, “And look!”
Helena jumps up to grab the grocery list and hands it to Aunt Alice.
Written all over the list, in as neat handwriting as a six-year old can manage, are the words milk and cookies.
“I wrote this last night, but it still isn’t in the fridge!”
Alice blinks.
It takes her longer than she’ll ever admit to realize that she’s never taken Helena grocery shopping.
She’s never seen Alice put away food into the cabinets and fridge.
She’s only ever seen Alice write the grocery list, and then come home from school on Fridays to a full fridge.
To Helena’s young mind, the grocery list told the fridge what to make, and it would appear the next day.
But Alice ended up being too busy to go grocery shopping as she usually did.
Alice takes a shaky breath and sit down at the table as she holds her head in her hands.
It takes Alice a full hour to explain to a heatbroken Helena that her entire worldview is false, and promptly took her grocery shopping.
Until Helena turned eight, Alice (and later Henry–after he stopped laughing hysterically, of course) would sometimes catch Lena opening and closing the fridge doors in the middle of the night, sometimes find crumpled up grocery lists scribbled with all manner of food, and noticed a considerable spike in the electric bill.
It took Helena almost two years to come to terms with non-magical refrigerators.
- Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?
Goodness, no! Helena is a good girl! She never swears!
One time she said the word damn instead of dang or darn and Aunt Alice looked so disappointed in her that Lena threw up and vowed never to swear again.
- What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
Once, when Helena was about ten or so, Alice kept her from going to a classmate’s birthday party. Alice considered her a bad influence and a rather mean-spirited person, but Helena would be the only kid in her class who wouldn’t show up.
Helena was so sad and angry that she said she hated Aunt Alice because she wanted her to feel as badly as she did before running up the stairs and locking herself in her room.
The next day, Uncle Henry came to visit, and Helena forgot all about her anger to Aunt Alice. Alice never brought it up, and Helena completely forgot about the incident until after Alice disappeared.
It still makes her stomach churn.
- How do they cope with confusion
She stares blankly until someone notices her confusion and takes pity.
- How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
Helena is double jointed–there is no such thing as “can’t reach”.
- What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?
Baby pink, yellow, and baby blue.
Her hair is a soft yellow, her eyes are a bright, clear, sky blue, and her cheeks are a natural pink, so she manages to coordinate rather well with those three colors.
…were I to describe it, I’d say she look the way Easter and springtime feel, lol.
- What animal do they fear most?
Sharks.
- How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
If she thinks before she speaks, it’s because she’s lying.
- What makes their stomach turn?
Bad thoughts, bad words, bad actions.
- Are they easily embarrassed?
Good lord yes.
- What embarrasses them?
Bad words, raunchy jokes, and having people look at her like she’s dumb.
- What is their favorite number?
Five.
- If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
“Um…”
Helena taps a crooked finger over her lips, her brow is drawn in concentration as she stares intently at her own tapping foot.
“I think…familial love is…the kind that’s always there? Like…you’re born with it. You love them. No matter what they do, you love them.” She sighs and puts her hands on her hips, her focus is still to the floor. “It’s really hard to explain, but it’s like…like warm, morning sunlight.”
She smiles at that, happy with her explanation before lifting her head to stare ahead.
“Platonic love is like the fun one. It’s the kind that leaves your cheeks hurting, but from smiling so much. It’s the afternoon sun with a gentle breeze. Soft and easy.”
It’s then that she blushes and bites her lip. Her head stays still, but her eyes dart to her right, “Romantic love…it’s–”
She laughs suddenly, can’t help the nervous smile that breaks on her face. She cups her cheeks to cover the blush that’s rapidly appearing.
“That one, is like…a sunset?” Helena laughs breathlessly. “It’s warm, and you can’t help but stare at it, and at the edges of your body, you feel…shivery.”
She shoves her arms together to cross them over her chest and bows her head a little, refusing to look at anyone. “Am I done yet??”
- Why do they get up in the morning?
Why not?
- How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
Sadness.
Am I not good enough?
- How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
Quiet resentment that she never quite lets herself dwell on. It makes her feel inferior.
- Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
HA!
Not.
At.
All.
- What are their thoughts on marriage?
Beautiful.
- What is their preferred mode of transportation?
Walking.
- What causes them to feel dread?
People not liking her.
- Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
She’ll say truth, but that’s just a lie to herself.
- Do they usually live up to their own ideals?
…technically, yes.
What she does is almost always the right thing, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to being the good thing.
She is, in essence, Lawful Good, but at her heart is Neutral Good, but she doesn’t want to admit that.
- Who do they most regret meeting?
Saxon.
- Who are they the most glad to have met?
Everyone.
- Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
Nooooope. This girl plays things by the ear.
- Could they be considered lazy?
Helena isn’t even real, but she exhausts me just thinking about how active she would be.
- How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
Impossible.
- How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
Hot damn, she gets excited too!
- Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
She scoots closer to her crush, and then plays the waiting game until senpai notices her.
- Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
She either remembers something or she forgets it, THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.
- What memory do they revisit the most often?
All of the nice ones.
- How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?
She likes Zeus.
Does that answer your question?
- How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
Abnormally, but she tries not to let it show.
- How do they feel about children?
Helena gasps, “Oh my gosh! A baby!”
Translation: She loves kids.
- How badly do they want to reach their end goal?
If she had an end goal that she had for herself, then nothing would stop her.
- If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
She’d blush, stammer, look over at Aeson, and say, “I don’t think that’s appropriate conversation!”
She’s Aeson-sexual, I don’t think she’s ever even had a tingle for someone else before him.
Vesper
- What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Forever.
- How easy is it for your character to laugh?
She’s almost always laughing at something.
- How do they put themselves to bed at night
By falling into it, preferably naked preferably with someone else…preferably naked too. 
- How easy is it to earn their trust?
She doesn’t actually…trust anyone?
Like, she likes her friends, and yes she considers them friends, but…she doesn’t trust any of them.
- How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
That’s her secret, Cap, she’s always mistrustful.
- Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
She considers laws ridiculous.
- What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
Singing, and yes, sometimes.
- What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
Vesper has always been musically inclined, and she was rather fond (as I was) of playing her music as loud as it could go.
She actually still does that, if she can.
- Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?
lol She could make a sailor blush with her language.
Her first curse word is her favorite word of all time:
“Fuck.”
- What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
I'd almost forgotten my guitar!
As soon as Alice opens the door, she sees Vesper standing in the doorway, sweating and flushed in the summer sun.
“Sorry I’m late,” she says breathlessly. “I’d almost forgotten my guitar!”
Alice steps aside to let her in. “You had me worried. I was just about to leave to look for you.”
“Sorry,” Vesper mumbles again as she drops her things next to the coffee table.
“Just…try not to do that again, alright?” Alice steps closer to hug her but Vesper steps back.
“Hug me after I shower?” Vesper asks, “I’m feeling super gross right now.”
Something niggles at the back of Alice’s neck, but dismisses it as disappointment from the rejected hug.
Alice watches Vesper ascend the stairs in long graceful strides. Fourteen and very nearly a woman; sometimes Alice wishes she’d stayed the sticky-handed toddler she used to be, but shakes her head at the silly notion.
Vesper needs to grow up. There’s no way around it.
But still her heart aches at the thought.
And no.
- How do they cope with confusion
Vesper gets angry when she’s confused. She doesn’t like conundrums, and attempts to think things through until she gets it.
If she still doesn’t get it after a few brainstorming sessions, she gives up. Doesn’t even ask for help.
- How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
“Scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours?”
- What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?
Black and violet, and yes.
- What animal do they fear most?
Spiders.
- How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
It depends on the situation. If it’s an unknown situation she observes before committing herself to speaking.
If it’s with friends, she has no filter.
- What makes their stomach turn?
Not knowing if her actions have any meaning.
- Are they easily embarrassed?
No.
- What embarrasses them?
Second-hand embarrassment, aka, the only way she ever feels shame anymore.
- What is their favorite number?
Seven.
- If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
“Should I have sex with them? If no, then that’s family. Do they want to have sex with me? If the answer is no, then that’s platonic. If yes, then that’s romantic.”
She never actually answers the question.
- Why do they get up in the morning?
She doesn’t, she just kinda rolls off her bed around noon.
- How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
She doesn’t really get jealous. She’s rather blase about relationships in general.
- How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
She tries to get what she wants as subtly as possible.
- Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
Not.
At.
All.
Edit: Misread the question as, “Is sex something they’re uncomfortable speaking about?”
Real answer: Vess has no shame. It died years ago.
- What are their thoughts on marriage?
“Ehhhhhh, no thanks.”
- What is their preferred mode of transportation?
Car rides with loud music and no roof.
- What causes them to feel dread?
Silence.
- Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
Unpleasant truth–and that’s a fact.

In that she doesn’t really have any, yeah.
- Who do they most regret meeting?
Saint.
- Who are they the most glad to have met?
Leo, her music teacher.
- Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
Nah, every person is different, and requires different points of conversation to become engaged with her.
- Could they be considered lazy?
Potentially.
- How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
Not very.
- How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
Depends on the thing.
- Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
Not romance.
Sex on the other hand…
- Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
Ha, no.
- What memory do they revisit the most often?
Correctly playing Take Me Out for the first time.

Cute, but not for her.

She’s unstoppable.

“Yes, please.”
Alexander
- What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
Depends.
If he’s doing it to spite someone, then there is no end.
Otherwise, he has no reason to stay in one place for long.
- How easy is it for your character to laugh?
Almost impossible, unless it’s his own jokes that only he laughs at.
- How do they put themselves to bed at night
With no regard for the morning after. (He’s known to sleep in jeans, the animal.)
- How easy is it to earn their trust?
Nearly impossible, but if you do have it…holy shit. Prepare for a loyalty that even Alex wasn’t aware he was capable of.
- How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
Just as impossible.
Alexander’s trust isn’t easily earned, so for you to lose it…you must have monumentally fucked up. [looks at Athena and Hades]
- Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
Unnecessary.
- What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
Looking up at the stars.
And yes, a little, and he kind of hates that fact.
- What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
As a child, Alex used to climb up to the roof at night for fun. He’d take his pocket telescope and stare at the stars for what seemed like an eternity. Sometimes he’d even fall asleep there.
Aunt Alice was not amused.
- Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?
“Shit.”
He was eleven; Alice was horrified.
- What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
Hmm.
Believe it or not, Alexander isn’t much of a liar.
He’s more of an asshole of the ‘brutally honest’ variety.
If he does lie, it’s more for survival, like lying about his age so it wouldn’t look suspicious for him to be around during school hours. As such, he doesn’t really dwell on his lies.
- How do they cope with confusion
He applies mental brute force until he’s no longer confused, or at least, until he thinks he’s no longer confused. This makes changing his mind rather difficult.
- How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
Ignore it and move on.
- What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?
Black.
And he does…sorta…if you’re into the pallid and pathetic look.
- What animal do they fear most?
Gods.
- How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
He actually picks his words very carefully.
So if he calls you a little shit, you can rest assured that he’s been mulling that insult over for days.
- What makes their stomach turn?
Loss of control.
- Are they easily embarrassed?
Yes, and that turns into anger very easily.
- What embarrasses them?
Being proven wrong.
- What is their favorite number?
Zero.
- If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
Alexander doesn’t believe in love, only varying levels of trust, loyalty, and affection.
- Why do they get up in the morning?
He has nothing better to do.
- How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
Aloof or betrayed, depending on whether or not the person intended for him to be jealous.
- How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
Resentment to the highest degree.
- Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
No.
Never.
- What are their thoughts on marriage?
“Good luck with that.”
- What is their preferred mode of transportation?
Walking in solitude with his headphones in his ears and his scarf up to his nose.
- What causes them to feel dread?
Significant change.
- Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
Unpleasant truth, without a doubt.
- Do they usually live up to their own ideals?
Yes.
- Who do they most regret meeting?
The Hunters.
- Who are they the most glad to have met?
Possibly Saint, at some point, but as of Part I, no one.
- Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
No.
- Could they be considered lazy?
Yes.
- How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
Very difficult.
- How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
If they’re his friends, then he’s just glad that they’re happy.
- Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
Neither.
He doesn’t expect it at all.
- Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
No, he just commits them to memory.
- What memory do they revisit the most often?
When Alexander turned eight, Aunt Alice and Uncle Henry took him camping to White Tank Mountain Regional Park for his birthday.
She gave him his first telescope and they spent the entire night identifying constellations and naming individual stars.
They didn’t sleep until 6am.
He snuggled into his sleeping bag with a stomach full of roasted hot dogs, and his head spilling with stars.
- How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?
Impossible.
- How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
Very.
- How do they feel about children?
He actually likes them.
- How badly do they want to reach their end goal?
Alexander is completely single minded in his goals, but puts in zero actual effort in fulfilling them.
He prefers instead to take opportunities as they come.
- If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
“Not you.”

And here are my answers for the creator questions
- Why are you excited about this character?
Helena is, for me, a very interesting case study of the lengths someone might go to for love and belonging. Playing as her will be positively heartbreaking, and I expect the game to bow to her kind of story the most.
Vesper will be a good character to test the limits of the game. Her detachment is so great, and her rationale so far removed from the human element that it’ll be interesting to see how far Rohie plans on letting us going (I expect to be pleasantly surprised, tbh). In addition, there’s always the chance of having the most fun with her character and personality should she ever feel grounded enough to enjoy life again.
Alexander I’m actually really excited about because he might be the one who’s most reactive to the story that has yet to be told. His personality is rather set, but how he can react to events and characters is up in the air. He’s both stoic yet over-emotional, wants to be alone but craves attention, and at once hates the gods but aspires to be in their place, to take their place, to replace them altogether…unless something happens in the story that completely sweep his legs. I’m most excited about Alex, because he has the most potential for growth, of my three Bearers.
- What inspired you to create them?
Vesper was my first Bearer and her personality is almost exactly the same as it was when I first played. She is, and always will be, my reaction to the game itself.
I made Helena because I wanted to play the game straight, no boundary pushing, just a good ol’ tale of an anxious teenager who finds out they’re Zeus’ kid and does her best with what’s given. She’s my attempt at, and deconstruction of, the Hero™.
Alexander is the closest thing I’ll ever get to playing Renegade!Shepherd. I have so much trouble ever playing mean characters, but the anger and spite in the game is so understandable that I had to create a character who would exclusively play into that, and so Alex was born.
- Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?
You know, I’m not sure if I actually understand this question.
- Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?
Vesper and Alexander look exactly the same as when I first imagined them.
Helena has slightly longer hair than I first imagined her. Instead of it being a pixie cut, she now has not-quite-shoulder-length hair.
- Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
No, they’re all terrible and I would get tired of their drama in real life, lol.
- What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?
Vesper: Excitement
Helena: Disappointment.
Alexander: Pity.
- What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
Vesper’s existential crisis makes it really difficult to imagine her reactions to thing which really sucks for an IF character especially.
Helena frustrates me with her denial as she should.
Alex…needs a fuckin’ chill pill, m’kay.
- What trait do you admire most?
Vesper’s easy confidence.
Helena’s unrelenting optimism.
Alexander’s…hair. jk Actually, I admire Alex’s unwavering loyalty…it’s unfortunate that one has earned it yet.
- Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?
Haaaaaaaa, no.
Just ask @Okami-Nora and @Fay lel
- Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character?
I’m pretty sure I’m canon-compliant with everything regarding the characters.

So ~ First post ever on this forum. I had to sign up.
I love this demo. I always loved greek gods and I think it’s a good devlopment here.
Actually about the differents characters, I’m really interested in Aeson. He is the other face of the same coin. And when you talk to him he is so cunning. I wonder if we can be more like him or theoritically not his opposite but different in the end.
And I have a question and another : when we dance with Aeson he begins to say something about the time where you were in the past and how he was feeling… Soooooo is it what I think it is ? (Yes I’m so clear.) In the sens if we continue to romance Aeson. And will it do something about the feelings of the other gods about him if they knew of his previous life ?
Good luck with the game ~ !
I don’t know if you’ve seen it already, but Rohie has a Tumblr where she answers questions about characters and romance stuff (but make sure to read the Before You Ask), post short scenes and stuff like that.
I did it and I love the tumblr there are a lot of stuff. But I didn’t see any of this. So it still left me with my questions ~.
How does Tumblr work?
It’s a blog hosting service/social media site. You should be able to see it even if you don’t have an account. If you have any questions, you could PM me so it doesn’t clutter the thread.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of Hades. Even though he can’t be dad anymore.
Okay, so I had done about 3/4s of this before thinking it wasn’t worth it, but I’ll give it a shot. On the way to work, I had the idea to answer this as how my MC would respond. Both to answer this and give an idea about his personality. This is going to be a long post, but the inspiration just struck.
Evander has an odd interview
What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do?
“Absolutely nothing? I’d probably give myself a couple of minutes, if that, before my mind needs some activity. A song, mull over something I did a while ago or plan on doing… I could be sitting there not physically doing much of anything and my mind pretty much can’t remain inactive.”
How easy is it for your character to laugh?
“I’m not always easily amused–never really have been. And I lean more towards dry humor, especially after being on the run. But I can laugh, if that’s what you’re wondering.”
How do they put themselves to bed at night
“Best way is for me to let my mind calm down and let sleep take over. Knowing that I’m in a safe area does wonders for me.”
How easy is it to earn their trust?
“Well… in theory, it’s actually pretty easy to do this. Um… If you’d rather I didn’t go into some side story to try to give an analogy about my views, then, really, just don’t screw me over and you’re probably okay.”
How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
“Mistrust is usually in proportion to the betrayal, in both length and level of mistrust. I’ll let the small things slide pretty easily, but I can be a bit of a hard-ass on more important things. If I assume it’s your responsibility to keep an eye on me and you fail to do so (coughZeus*cough), we’re going to have some issues.”
Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?
“Pretty much, I consider them immovable. I’m not about to pull a Javert and call for the year-long jail sentence for a man for stealing a loaf of bread, but when the law is clear on murder, keep your weapons to yourself. Even within the grey area (I’m not about to act as though I’ve never done anything wrong in my life), I’d rather you at least try to act morally.”
What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?
“Usually when someone is able to have a normal family moment. It doesn’t have to be some '50s era level of stereotypical sugar-coated nonsense, but, when someone my age is able to feel content and happy around their parents (especially when I was back on Earth), I sometimes look back to more… pleasant times in my life. I’d say that I love that sort of thing, but then I come back to the real world and feel more… vindictive. Same with watching other teens hanging out with their friends–until I came to Olympus, I hadn’t really had that kind of thing for a while. Yet another reason I want a normal life. I want to be able to share in joy again.”
What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
“Aunt Alice (…Athena, technically) and… well, Hades… Well, the two of them always encouraged me to ask questions. Of course, I had learned to pick up on when it was a good time to ask and when it wasn’t (and there were the rare times when they really couldn’t explain certain concepts to me). On the other side, I remember a few times where my elementary school teachers noticed that, while I certainly played well with others, I mostly did so silently. They encouraged me (subtly and not-so-subtly) to open up around my peers. It was somewhere around 6th or 7th grade when it started to become more natural for me (at least by my standards). Athena and Hades didn’t need to do much to curb any bad habits around the house; a simple ‘Evander, don’t do that.’ with an explanation as to why it was bad was all I needed. Or we reached a compromise.”
Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?
“Well, I’m not exactly swearing other word, mind you, but it’s more important for me to survive than to watch my words. My first swear word was probably ‘damn’ or something.”
What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
“The wording’s a bit off here, honestly. ‘Most frequently remember telling’, as in I frequently remember it the most or that I’ve told that lie the most times? But I’m guessing it’s the first. ‘I’m okay.’ I haven’t bothered to keep count as to how many times I’ve told others this during my time on the run, but I’ve said it because I didn’t want any questions. It was easier that way. But, no, I wasn’t, for differing reasons. Saying that it haunts me would be a bit much, but I wish I could’ve known more people to reach out to. Would’ve saved me some trouble.”
How do they cope with confusion?
“If it’s a matter of not knowing information, I’d look it up or wait to find someone or something to answer my question. A person confusing me is more difficult, but I usually try to observe them. I’m not a fan of simply being content not knowing.”
How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?
“Find or make a back scratcher. I usually prefer wall corners or brick walls, as they have the right texture.”
What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?
“Darker blues, greens, brown, greys and black tend to be my go-to colors. No pastels or anything too bright.” (He’s not wrong, but could use some white interspersed with all that. Maybe after a while living in Olympus.)
What animal do they fear most?
“I guess ‘Humans’ is too obvious and cliched. Actually, dogs, if I had to answer that. Most ‘scary’ animals are pretty avoidable if you know what you’re doing. Dogs… I have a habit of associating them with attack dogs. Friendly ones I’m okay with, but I have a habit of tensing up when I hear barking. Eh, sorry Artemis?”
How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?
“I… I mean, it kinda depends on the situation. I’m known for speaking in short sentences or a few words, but I’m also got the habit of going polysyllabic on people. Punctuated with a few um’s, uh’s, and what-not. Sometimes coming off as nervous.And while I’m not big on spitting out my first thoughts, I don’t bother with rehearsing unless I have to.”
What makes their stomach turn?
“Stomach viruses? That, obvious fake niceness, and straight-up liars.”
Are they easily embarrassed?
“…not exactly. Though, there are situations I’d rather not deal with.”
What embarrasses them?
“I’m not used to the idea of people fussing over me that aren’t Athena or Hades. Sort of like I’m not good with looking weak. And… I’m pretty selective over talking about my time on the run. And, um… Let’s just say there’s some things I’m simply awkward discussing with the opposite sex. Not that much experience, especially with someone closer to my age.”
What is their favorite number?
“Good question. Never really had much use for one, but… I always keep leaning towards 4. Not sure why.”
If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
“Romantic love is sort of one if those warm fuzzies kind of love… I honestly wish I was better at answering this without googling it, but I’ll give it a shot. I think it’s a lot like a warm blanket with a cup of hot cocoa with plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg on a cold winter’s night. Or that could just be my ideal. Platonic love reminds me of Callie and I. We’d probably not make good romantic partners, but we’d stand by each other if it came down to it. Not that good an example, but it’s the best I have right now. Familial… I guess I have to use Saint for a good example. I’ll admit to wanting to knock some sense into him, but the fact remains that he’s my brother. I haven’t known him for long either, but there’s a sense of belonging and kinship around him. We won’t always agree, but he’s sort of all I have.”
Why do they get up in the morning?
“School? Something new and weird to learn about this place? Trying to regain a normal life? Having actual friends? The off-chance I’ll get to see Av-… Forget I said that last one.”
How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?
“Probably more aloof than anything. I don’t really remember this being too strong of an emotion.”
How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?
“This, however… I usually have to bottle up such emotions and act aloof, but I can also get resentful and vindictive if it’s especially strong. When Aeson returned from his trip to fetch that glorified paperweight, I wasn’t happy over feeling like others were seeing me like the bad guy. I wasn’t mad at Aeson or any of the others. Just frustrated over my situation.”
Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
“Well, if it’s from a biological perspective, I could speak to anyone mature enough. If it’s more… interpersonal in nature… Um, well, Avery… I mean, she’s about the only one I can think of to help contact a counselor about such issues. As for performing the act (I’m sure that’s relevant to the question)… I’d rather just get the whole Cronus thing over with. I… sort of, um… my only first-hand experience happened while on the run and wasn’t one I care to remember. Gun to my head, though… There’s a certain blonde who, if she’d be okay with it… But, if not, then I totally understand. Yeah.”
What are their thoughts on marriage?
(After regaining composure from previous question) “I’m strictly monogamous, and I’m inspired by marriages lasting 50 or more years. So you can imagine my take on Zeus.”
What is their preferred mode of transportation?
“Buses and trains for long-distance travel. On foot for short distances.”
What causes them to feel dread?
“Chaotic crowds and Hunters. And Cronus.”
Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?
“The truth. I’d rather just get it over with instead of finding out later.”
Do they usually live up to their own ideals?
“I try to, and… I sort of try to make attainable goals. Ideals are a little too fluid, but I’d rather not disappoint myself.”
Who do they most regret meeting?
“Saxon. It was enough that I had to be part of another death, but the accusation that I caused it still haunts me. And, for reasons that are a bit complicated, Aelin. I still feel a sense that I care for her memory, but losing her hasn’t made my life any better.”
Who are they the most glad to have met?
“Not counting family… Aelin, for being a key part of some of my last good memories before I was on the run.”
Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?
“Aside from something that happened that day or a particular memory that’s popped up? Can’t think of any.”
Could they be considered lazy?
“Um… Selectively active would be a better term. I put in the effort where needed, but I don’t like wasting energy where I don’t need to.”
How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
“It isn’t easy. I have to convince my own self that it isn’t my fault, especially if it’s something serious. Even then, lingering doubts can be pretty strong.”
How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
“It usually depends if I understand any of it, but I don’t like putting down others because of things like that. If it’s a mutual interest, however… I can absolutely geek out.”
Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?
“At this point, surviving to next year is a dream. Love? I wish I were so lucky. Then again, it’s about time I did something to make my own destiny. I want something of a normal life, and love’s part of it.”
Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?
“I try to associate a thought with a name until it sticks with me. Calypso–>music genre, for example. Other than that, I’d have to write it down just so I have a physical copy.”
What memory do they revisit the most often?
“My first actual date with Aelin, or the closest thing we had to one at that age.”
How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?
“It depends on the nature of the flaw. I can ignore quite a few things, but serious issues aren’t easy for me to keep silent about. For the most part, though, it’s a case of me being some level of irritated but tolerant.”
How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
“I try to be observant of them. Quite honestly, my perfectionism often gets directed at myself. Sometimes even more than at others.”
How do they feel about children?
“I generally don’t mind them. Being raised as an only child, I never had the experience of helping out a younger sibling or being on the receiving end. Relating to kids my age wasn’t always easy, for that matter. But as long as they aren’t annoying or anything, I’m okay being around them. Now, having some of my own is another thing. Until I can raise them in the sort of environment I’d prefer, I don’t know if I could have one. It was enough that my biological mother couldn’t be there; I’d want to help raise my own child and watch them grow.”
How badly do they want to reach their end goal?
“After all of this… I’d rather not betray the gods or hurt those I care about, but I would really appreciate things going as smooth as possible. The gods want a hero, and I want a normal life. I’ll play their game for as long as they don’t hurt me or my friends. Though I wish I had a better understanding of things.”
If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
“I’m attracted to the opposite sex. Um… Really, I don’t have much first-hand experience with it, so I’m pretty confused with some of the details outside of a textbook. Aside from Aelin, it’s been pretty one-sided.”

Andrew makes jokes about his flaws to make himself seem less insecure than he is, or just because he is very arrogant. So very sensitive depending on the time of the day.
How do they feel about children?
He’s fine with them. Unless you mean having children, than no.
How badly do they want to reach their end goal?
Andrew set out two goals, living and becoming immortal. He is a huge fan of life and will try his hardest to succeed at living, but after that he won’t try at hard to get his secondary goal.
If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?
By flirting with them.
