This is a spur of the moment idea that came to me while talking to a coworker who was cleaning some of his food out of the fridge. He was complaining about how the food he had left in their was spoiling, and - as a joke - I stated that he's like his food: kinda spoiled. All in good fun, of course. But still, it's an interesting way to try and describe your character too!
While I mention favorite foods, there's nothing keeping you from just choosing a food you think fits them best "as a character" even if they don't like it. Or if it doesn't actually exist in Eorzea. In retrospect, this is kiiinda like my old Your Character as a Drink idea - just expanded some. Hopefully it's far enough removed that it isn't retreading the same ground.
Anyway! Here's some examples:
Chachanji
- Sweet and kinda childish (Candy)
- Hardy and hale (Steak)
- Warm and mushy (Mashed Popotoes)
Judge
- Exact, can leave you dazed and disoriented, and not good in large doses. (2:1-Ratio Martini)
It can be serious or silly. Accurate or hyperbole. It all really just depends on how you want to play with it. Just be careful, since some descriptions could also be taken the wrong way! After all, you might not want to describe your character like a frozen dinner - quick, easy, and done in five minutes. Or maybe you do, who am I to judge?
