aww yeah it's question meme time

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme





Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

thoughts on what to expect on possibly battling a personified version of fate? is he scared? determined? what fuels that?

'Determined' just about sums it up for many Jacob-y things tbh. Jacob is accustomed to suicide missions and opposing godlike beings from his canon and is using his own world's experience with Reapers (picture a crossbreed between Cthulhu and Skynet) as an idea of what to expect. It's not that Jacob expects an easy victory or even any victory against Atropos, so much as he doesn't really care: as long as there are people on this world to protect from its destruction, he knows where his duty lies. The ideal of protection is enormously important to Jacob and is close to the core of his character.

What are Loki's feelings about playing a role in Midgard's cultural mythology? Does he enjoy it or did it amuse him or what?

FDJKL aw jacob ૮( ꒦ິ⍣꒦ີ)ა

HIS ROLE IN MIDGARD MYTHOLOGY IS INTERESTING, mostly because he both embraces what it means and disregards it completely. loki is basically an idea imposed on reality, and he knows exactly what he is. jflskl as much as i joke about "quantum asgardians," that's ... basically what he is! that doesn't mean that the myths that happen didn't happen, it just puts an entirely new shift upon the reality that's built around his presence.

but there's a lot of hiccups in norse myth because before christanity they were mostly spread by mouth, so there's a ton of haze around what's real and what's not?

either way he generally takes a step away from those myths to create his own as who he is now. so when people dive backward he stares on dubiously and defines himself.

what's jacobs biggest fear?

[personal profile] darkpants_warmfeeling 2014-10-18 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably failing to live up to his own (sky-high) moral expectations. Jacob's father, who he admired and looked up to, turned into a really nasty piece of work and part of Jacob is worried that the same weakness lurks inside himself.

Despite his defining features of loyalty and stability, Jacob has twice walked away from factions he belonged to because they weren't living up to his standards. He quit the Alliance because he felt they were too useless, and quit Cerberus because they were too ruthless. He never wants to be either of those things, and pushes himself hard to be a better man than his father and a better soldier than what Cerberus deserved.

What are Loki's thoughts on the other-him that apparently invaded alternate New York with scads of aliens?

as an omniversal traveller loki's very aware of what he is—there's not a lot of lokis in other universes that are "good people." it's one of the predisposed cycles that loki's up against as he tries to define himself in the eyes of fate. if there's a loki and a thor in a universe, you can bet your beans that the loki will be "evil" and the thor will be "good." so let's just say that it doesn't really surprise him (and that he kind of feels for him).

JACOB WHATS YOUR FAVORITE BREAKFAST

all of it

No seriously when possible Jacob devours an impressive variety of bacon/eggs/bagels/fruit/energy bars/sometimes something with syrup. His biotic powers require increased calorie intake to sustain, and his incredibly intense morning workout only heightens Jacob's morning hunger. To keep his powers and his body in the shape that he demands, Jacob needs a lot of fuel.

Does Jacob feel out of place, being from such an advanced future, or does he feel like most other people are the backwards one? Or somewhere in between?

[personal profile] darkpants_warmfeeling 2014-10-16 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He felt out of place at first, and more than a little frustrated with how different 21st-century Earth and its people are from his home time. However, Jacob is good at processing and adapting, and by now he's basically past such feelings. He hasn't given up on finding a way home, but he's got a solid foundation in his MoM-verse life for now.

I'm only tangentially familiar with Maria's canon, so bear with this: does she hold any loyalty or belief toward the ideals of the Templars? The whole 'golden age via global domination' bit?
givetheslip: hnnnggggghsigh (bloodlines > reflect)

[personal profile] givetheslip 2014-10-16 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, that's good to hear. At least he can probably look at people like Maria and be glad he's not that tech clueless, heh. How long has he been here?

She does and she doesn't. Maria ran off to join the Crusades full of visions of achieving honor and glory as a knight; the specific Templar ideals were secondary. At her current canon point, she is still pretty loyal, but it mainly comes from loyalty toward Robert de Sable (may he rest in peace), who was oddly progressive and the first person to give her a chance despite her gender. So she's pro-the supposed Templar ideals of spreading peace and knowledge, but has no idea about the "peace via mind control" thing and is appalled when she finds out about it in canon.

About five months by now- he first arrived in May of this year!

How long did Maria serve de Sable?

[personal profile] givetheslip 2014-10-17 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
A little less than eight years—it's not stated exactly when he caught wind of her really being female after she joined up, but it's not meant to be too long, I think.

They should totally have more soldier talk in the future.

[personal profile] darkpants_warmfeeling 2014-10-18 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed! They both have service to a questionable cause in common, which is interesting.
