Character Quiz: Rick

I should go back to doing my homework now.

1. Name: Rick Stairwell

2. Age: 17

3. Gender: Male

4. How tall is s/he? 5'9"

5. Describe their eyes: A warm brown, large-eyed

6. Sexuality: Homosexual

7. Race/Species: Human

8. Siblings? 4: Sisters Anya, Danielle, and (hmnermneh...), brother James/Jamie

9. Lover(s)? No lover at this point in time; crushing on Dare and later Tim.

10. Any talents or abilities, even if these are included in your canon (i.e. they can fly, but they live with angels, so everyone can fly)? Rick's good with electronics and organization. He's also a good dancer... secretly.

11. Any talents and abilities that are unusual in their canon (i.e. a psychic human in real life)? Nope.

12. What’s their religion/belief system? Suprisingly, he's a believer in the Christian religion despite his orientation.

13. Have you ever renamed, redesigned, or reworked this person? How? Many a time... I changed his personality and clothing style over the years. He's become more shy. But I explained all that in a post earlier...

14. Do they have an alternate form? No.

15. Are they based on a real person? More or less; some of his personality traits and mannerisms are based off of a friend of mine. I mostly use her for reference to make him more realistic. My friend and Rick aren't really the same though; for one thing, my friend's a girl.

16. Or another character? Not that I know of... or remember.

17. Do they go to school? Yes, he's in his senior year of high school.

18. How often do they spend in front of a mirror? Every morning (there's a heartache hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed...) Ahem. Usually when he's brushing his teeth in the bathroom. He'll occasionally check his hair/face throughout the day, but he's not vain.

19. If given a gun, what would they do? Give it back. xD

20. What do they like wearing? Fitted tees and not-too-skinny jeans. Oh and HATS. And converse.

21. Describe their hair: A darker blonde, comes below mid-neck, bangs come just above eyes. Apparently it's very soft.

22. Where does this character live? Around Boston.

23. Can they cook? Yes, he learned from his mom. He's the oldest in the family, so he has to cook for his siblings from time to time.

24. Would they enjoy a surprise party thrown for them? Yeah, I guess. But he's not really a PARTY party kind of guy. :d

25. Have they ever killed someone? Who? Why? Nnnnope. :D

26. Do they feel guilty about that killing/multiple killings? N/a

27. Any secrets? I guess he tries to keep his crushes a secret. In 9th grade he tried to hide his orientation. Other than that, he's a very truthful person who has nothing to hide.

28. Do they have a tattoo? Do they want one? No; no.

29. What about piercings? Both his ears are pierced, but he usually wears a stud on his right ear.

30. Medical conditions? None that I've thought about.

31. Are they generally violent? Not in the slightest. :P

32. Are they shy or outgoing? Extremely shy.

33. Honest or deceitful? Very honest. (SO DEREDEREDEREDERE...)

34. Optimistic or Pessimistic? He can be a pessimist when it comes to his own life, but he tries to look on the bright side.

35. Loving or distant? Aha, loving I think? He's shy and usually only talks naturally to close friends and family, but he's very kind.

36. Young or old? Young.

37. Bad or good? He is a kind soul. :P

38. Are they good at winning an argument? Nope. Weak willed...

39. Name something unusual about them: HE HAS THE SAME HAIRSTYLE AS STEFAN. Okay. No. Um... He doesn't have a gay boy accent in my head, but his voice is kind of unusually high pitch. (????) I'm trying to fix my brain so he sounds a little more like a guy.

40. Are they a virgin? Yes. He tries to be virtuous.

41. Have they ever had sex with their own gender? No.

42. Name some prejudices s/he has: Um... well, he doesn't like when people are mean to him, so he really tries not to be prejudice toward anyone since he's faced prejudices himself.

43. Give me something random about them: He dotes on his brother Jamie.

44. Do they drink? No.

45. Smoke? No.

46. Do drugs? No. As stated earlier, he tries to be virtuous.

47. Are they addicted to anything? Soap operas and romance novels.

48. What’s their impression on people at first glance? Um... I dunno, depends on the person who's seeing him? xD I guess people generally see him as a shy guy.

49. Is this true once they’re more well known to someone? Um... well he'll be less shy if he knows you. xD;;;

50. Name something that’s different about them now than when you first came up with them: He used to basically have the same personality as Dare. Now he's much more quiet obviously.... yeah.

51. Is there anything about this character that’s surprising to you? Um... Idk. xD; I guess I'm suprised with how his personality came out in the end. I had no idea where I was going with him when I first designed him. Same with Tim....

52. How was their childhood? Pretty good; he's got a good family that loves him, he befriended Dare. He's stressed in high school because he worries too much about his emotions.

53. What’s one of their weaknesses? Public speaking (unless it's well rehearsed), and he's physically weak in comparison to other guys.

54. Their greatest strength? As stated much earlier, he's good with electronics and organization... xD;

55. Something they hate: Playing sports (physically weak), math homework

56. Something they love: Watching baseball (the only sport he likes), his family and friends

57. How’s their self esteem? Moderately low

58. One thing they hate about themselves: Awkwardness around people

59. One thing they love about themselves: Um... he doesn't really LOVE anything about himself? Or he hasn't really thought about it. (He's a character, so I guess he can't really think about it.. xD;;;)

60. How’s their ego? Pretty much has no ego; denies compliments (in a bashful way)

61. Describe their past: Pretty normal. He moved to Boston in the 4th grade and met Dare. Concluded he was gay in the 9th grade and has a brief episode of depression.

62. How was their family life? Pretty good, his mom loves him, and while there's occasional awkwardness around his dad, his dad loves him too. His siblings also look up to him, but he's closest in age to Anya (even though they're 5 years apart) and talks to her the most about general things. He dotes on his other siblings, especially his little brother Jamie.

63. Are they happy now? Why? For the most part; he's still a little sad b/c he (kind of secretly even though he denies it) wants Dare to fall in love with him. But what he also wants is for Dare to continue being his friend.

64. Do you like them? Yeah, I like Rick. I think he's a nice dude... He's the character that I get a little upset over if someone makes a mean-ish comment about his orientation because he's such a nice guy. (I don't care as much if people make comments on Tomato and TB for some reason.)

65. Would you get along with them if you met them in real life? Yeah, I think so. After we both get over our shyness. xD /naturally shy

66. Would they like you? ...I guess? xD He does have traces of me in him since I made him.

67. Are they smart? He's smart, but has to work harder than Dare or Tim to get the same grades as them.

68. Are they tricky? Aha, no? xD; (What does this mean...)

69. Do you know how they are going to die? Takara suggested he dies by falling off a brick stairwell.
...
His death is irrelevent to the story, so I haven't thought about it. xD

70. Do you plan on killing them off? Nope.

71. Do they like to read? Yes. Romansu.

72. What’s their favorite… book? The Romance of the Romance Man Femio series. (I just made that up. What is this such a stupid title...)

73. Movie? 17 Again, maybe.

74. Person? Aha, Dare I guess.

75. Time of day? Morning.

76. Animal? Kit kat kit kat. =^_^= (cat.) My cousin said that on Words with Friends to this random guy...

77. Thing to do? Hang out with Dare.

78. Are you tired of this meme yet? It's distracting me from my homework. 8D

79. Has it helped you? I guess, it was interesting to fill out.

80. Will you do it for another character? MAYBE SOMEDAY...

81.Go tag someone. And go tell xxcrashgirlxx on deviantART that you used it!

I don't need to tag because I know someone out there will feel intrigued to do this...

Hey, guys!

Mood: Groggy and enthused at the same time. (???)

Let's do a comment spree tomorrow! 8D Basically what you have to do is:

  • Comment on everything that comes into your backroom (Fan art, fan comics, wallpapers, and cards)
  • Commenting on world entries is optional
  • Try to make your comments at least one sentence long

And that's all! So yeah. ;D It'll be fun! Or possibly annoying. You don't have to do it if you don't want to. If you feel like you're up for it, comment here. 8D

Edit:: Also, SPREAD THE WORD! :D If you want to.

Back from Boston

Mood: Cranky
Recently added: Mind, Sterling, The Adventures of Marth and Roy: ch. 2 pg 30, ch. 3 cover page and pg. 1

Hey guys, I went to Boston this past weekend. :0 EXCITING! Actually it was really painful.
Because.
We went hiking.
;A; I'm so bad at anything that has to do with physical activity...
Anyways, we hiked up Mt. Major. (I think that's what it was called?) The view at the top was nice, but it was SO VERY PAINFUL on my knees going up the mountain and SO VERY PAINFUL on my ankles going down the mountain. The going down part wouldn't have been so bad if there weren't so many ROCKS.
DANGIT MOUNTAIN, WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY ROCKS ON YOU?
"Well Akioh, simply because of the fact that I am a mountain..."
Takara made me read The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass out loud to her at the top, for some reason. xD; It's summer reading homework... Oh, but I just finished reading it. Hooray!

But anyways. OTHER THAN THAT, it was fun to go up and see my cousin and aunt and uncle. :) My cousin is so much fun. Haha. We have so many stupid inside jokes. He also has a Nintendo 64, and we played this game called Ridge Racer or something. The game will sometimes lose all its memory randomly... so I was waiting for him to unlock my favorite car, the ATOMIC PURPLE for me, but then we had to go home before he unlocked it. ;A;
I also played the original Super Smash Brothers for the first time. It's very laggy in comparison to the other SSB games. >3>

Speaking of Super Smash Brothers, did you hear that there's going to be a new Super Smash Bros game? :D The news has been out for a while, but they're saying that the new game is going to be for the Wii U and the 3DS.
All I can say is THEY BETTER PUT ROY BACK IN THERE...
Seriously, I hope they do. I was unbelievably disappointed when Roy wasn't in Brawl. We actually had the game and we were playing through the Subspace Emissary when we realized he wasn't going to be unlocked like that... so I looked online and discovered Roy wasn't a playable character. ;A;

Anyways, I have homework to do. HISTORY IDENTIFICATIONS, HERE I COME!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.

Mood: sleepy and achey

I'm going to my cousin's & aunt's & uncle's house for 4 days. But there'll be a computer, so I'll probably still be online...
But maybe not as active...? xD You probably won't notice the difference.

BUT ANYWAYS, YEAH!
REALLY LONG ROAD TRIP, HERE I COME!

I had this weird dream a couple nights ago.

Mood: Satisfied
Currently working on: Character list picture, other stuff
Recently Added: Blanca

AND IN THIS DREAM,
I was Zac Efron.
Yeah.
So anyways, in this dream my teeth were really dirty and gross, for some reason. Like... my molars were disgusting. I think they were growing mold. Ew. But my toothbrush wasn't working b/c it was really dull and not working. So my dad (who was still my dad for some reason, even though I was Zac Efron) went to buy me a toothbrush.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I went to this magazine interview because I'm Zac Efron. And they took my picture for this "best teeth" competition. (From the front, my teeth weren't too bad...)
Somehow, I won the "best teeth" competition. Then some random guy was like, "Oh, sure. Of course Zac Efron wins the 'best teeth' competition. D:<"
Then I woke up.
...and had the strange urge to brush my teeth...

BUT ANYWAYS, I have this song stuck in my head.

I discovered it recently... I think it was playing in a restaurant, and I was like "Hm. It sounds like Rob Thomas. (the singer for MB20)" After that, I forgot about it...
And then I heard it on Pandora radio, and I was like "Oh. This sounds so familiar..."
I like Matchbox 20 as of recent. xD I already liked some of their songs, but I've started listening to them more. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, DARE. My characters are influencing my taste in music. MB20 is Dare's favorite band or something.
Idk why I gave him a favorite band... most of the RB:SI characters have favorite bands/musicians, though. And I do try to get into the things that their interested in just so I can relate to them better. xD; I mean, it's one thing to say that a character likes high heels for example, but I think it's important to understand their interest so you can make their reactions to such things more realistic...
But that's just me.
I have a hard time relating to Kasey. :I She likes gossip magazines. Gossip just doesn't interest me. But I do skim style and semi-gossip magazines at the doctors and hairdresser's, so I guess that's a start...

OKAY. Enough ranting about nothing. I just felt the need to post in my world. xD
