Secret things your character does when no one is around

[Flashhelix]

Oskwell talks to himself. Well, screams at himself sometimes, eats tree branches, and pursues his undying animal nemesis, The Chicken-Coeurl.

[Aya]

Thinks!  Seriously!

[Val]

Val tries real hard to write Faye poetry or letters. 

 

Melfice does a lot of very unsavory things with his experiments.

 

Vallois thinks. A lot. Mostly about his current relationship and stuff.

 

Cyrus doesn't do anything 'cause he dead.

[Arrelaine]

Arry practices her dancing, and used to practice her music and singing alone. The latter she doesn't really do 'alone' anymore, as it's really hard to not practice your very heavy harpsichord when you live with someone.

[cuideag]

Jajara worries. She frets. She wrings her hands in anxious ways that she might not do it in sight of others.

 

Delial writes letters but that is not unusual: it is what she does for herself and for others. These letters do not get sent. Most of them are addressed to the dead.

[Melkire]

Osric reads smut and slash and all sorts of trash when he thinks no one is looking.

 

Also sketching the landscape.

 

Cyrus doesn't do anything 'cause he dead.

 

This reminds me, the wiki could really use a "this character is deceased" tag of some sort.

 

*goes to pester FreelanceWizard*

[Dat Oni]

Edgar is often alone. Many assume that he is reading or sleeping, and for the most-part they are correct.

 

But when he's absolutely certain no one else is around...

 

Edgar sings.

[K'nahli]

Andre has written letters with the intention of sending them to his father, but every time he tries he just ends up crumpling it up and throwing it away again in a moment of self-loathing.

[Dat Oni]

Delial writes letters but that is not unusual: it is what she does for herself and for others. These letters do not get sent. Most of them are addressed to the dead.

 

That'd be a nice thread, actually...

[Meoix]

Junè Barlokov holds a facade of being a tomboy, wearing simple garments thrown together, not caring about getting dirty to get somewhere (walking through a swamp to avoid a a 2 malm detour, and not afraid to enjoy a healthy sparring match with a drinking buddy.

 

However in her room she collects alot of jewelry, dresses, and simple makeup. All of which she tries on and practices a more feminine persona, though she dare not reveal this secret to any.

[T'caska Khevo]

T'caska has a guilty habit of jumping into ponds and chasing fish with her bare (bear... ha!) hands when she thinks she is alone. She used to eat whatever she caught but now its just a game.

 

Lately though T'caska just cries a lot.

[DreamedReality]

A variety of things!

Poaching. Hunting in the Twelveswood.

Sitting on Chiane's roof and watching the sunset in the Lavender Beds.

Worry.

Fret.

Pace.

Doodle.

Makes small adorable metal animals with the scraps of metal from the forge. Which he melts down again later to hide the evidence.

[Merri]

Merri has a fascination with the absurd when it comes to his engineering. He puts up his professional front when he needs to, but, if he's just home alone in his workshop you can be certain he's trying his damnedest to shatter the laws of physics.

 

...Or at least create something really, really stupid.

 

Like a miniature suit of remote-controlled Magitek Armor to be piloted by small rodents.

[Klynzahr]

Klynzahr reads, when she's alone. Her eyes are so bad these days that she holds most books about six inches from her face, which makes her uncomfortable in public. However behind locked doors, she will settle down with a large magnifying glass plus her regular spectacles and devour everything she can get her hands on. Having been raised with the notion that books were a luxury, she is reverent of those that she does own and rereads them frequently. New books always hold a thrill for her and the subject matter is actually less important to her than the novelty. She's not fond of poetry though.

 

 

Dani does many things alone, because she spends most of her time alone. Of course she makes no effort to hide the fishing, swimming, or copious drinking binges. Only when she is certain that she is completely alone, with no chance of observation, will she open her small trunk and look over the items inside; a ragged Storm Sergent's uniform, one smudged charcoal sketch of a roegadyn blacksmith at the forge and a tarnished ring. This doesn't always induce tears, but it can.

[Michikyou]

It was late - far later than hre father dared to stay awake. Even the encampment was scarce with adventurers. 'Good' she closed the blinds of her room slowly, ensuring she was in fact alone for the evening.

 

Hurriedly she did one last observation of her surroundings. The door locked tight and the candles had near burned down to the last ilm of wick. From here she approached her dresser, lifting up the false bottom of her dedicates drawer and pulling from th compartment a small, decorated box. The ribbon slowly lifted, unsealing the prize within..

 

"Nn-....Nnn... Nyyyaaaaaaah!" she called out into the night, her new headdress upon her head, the tufts of decorated ears she had stitched to wear complimenting her crown well. If only - if only they felt the same as the real thing.

[Marisa]

Eats food that's laying around. Tries to balance things on her head. Finds out what clapping with one hand sounds like. Sings music she doesn't completely know the lyrics to. Walks around without any pants.

[Ha'uruh Nunh]

Howl has an old stuffed animal named Ace that gets some snuggles when nobody else is around.  He also is smoking way more than he should be, and trying to paint, which so far he's pretty awful at.

[Dogberry]

Dogberry goes surfing. Well, he did. Now that his legs are heavy machinery he can't really surf anymore. The fact that he hasn't been able to for a while actually eats on him. Teaching his son how to surf helped, but he realized how much he missed it. He's eventually going to figure out how to get back into it. It will be a big moment for him.

[Nebbs]

I wonder how many sneak into peoples houses take bites out of their food, bounce on their beds and try on their clothes?

 

Nebula does work as a tooth fairy as well as temping as a fairy godmother.

[DeletedUser]

Singing whilst cooking, putting on her finest clothes (awful, tacky dresses which make her look like a giant layer cake) and pretending she's a princess, going through her friends' belongings and just barely resisting the urge to nick something...

[Jerciex]

Delni eats sweets, do little chores and hums old folksongs from  Gridania.:roll:

[Kellach Woods]

Kell performs the rituals of his homeland when no one is looking. SHOCKING~.

 

Mostly because he clings to the fear that was first said by the traders who gave him a lift, warning him that the rituals could be seen as being tempered or worshiping a primal.

 

You thought I was going to go into a wacky zone as I am wont to do, right? WELL... nope.

[Yssen]

Yssen reads and researches. At the moment he is pouring over some things various others of asked him look into; non-aspected crystals, blood magic solutions to other icky blood magic, personal aetherial theory...

 

He also plots. He trains. He hides. He goes on walks while being hidden.

 

He also spends a fair amount of time meditating and figuring out who he is/which thoughts and feelings are genuinely his. He spins his coin. He stares at it.

 

When he is assured he is absolutely alone he occasionally sings.

[Alothia]

Aly reads a lot. Mostly romance novels.

 

If Khale is working late, she makes a little nest out of her blankets and burrows. I envision her pink ears poking out and not much else. (should probably get this drawn now that I'm thinking about it.)

 

Sometimes she takes stray blotting paper and folds them into flowers and such.

[Darien Cadell]

Everything she does is a secret thing because no one is around. Okay, most things.

 

She sees dead people.

 

Actually, talks to herself, but thinks she sees dead people. Close enough.
