13 for the psychology edition!
Haeste: Oh boy, I think the number one thing she tries to avoid is emotional situations. She isn’t the empathetic type, so when others are emotionally upset, she finds it rather uncomfortable. She doesn’t understand why people get upset over the things they do, she is the type to fight past it rather than drown in her feelings and thus she doesn’t really know how to deal with others emotions. She might mimic comfort but mimic is all she knows how to do. Other than this, she tries to avoid anything out on water where she might inclined to drown. Waters that are deep make her nervous, and so she tries to get away from anything that might make her need to be in open water. It’s something she is working towards coping with but failing terribly to the point she just avoids ships and pretends she doesn’t need them.

Ah, I’ve been trying to find these! Thank you!
21: Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?
(I’m going to answer these OOCLY for once and also for the three characters I’m move active on)
Haeste: Intentionally, very very often. Physically, her job and lifestyle revolves around it really. She has no qualms at all with it one bit, especially when there is a great cause behind it, and even more so when it will benefit what she is doing at that time and herself in the end. She doesn’t just blindly hurt people physically of course, everything she does is with purpose. If you are speaking psychologically/emotionally, she is a very rational thinker when it comes to everything. Along with her semi apathetic approach to most things, she isn’t emotional, and thus she won’t fly into bouts of rage due to a few words, and thus she won’t attack people personally. However, her job again can benefit from psychological harm and she will often use it if it will be to her advantage.
Sere: Hurt others intentionally, never. She is a pacifist at her core, so she will do everything it takes for her never to harm anyone else. Physically or otherwise. She is much more prone to try and talk them out of a situation, calm them down or help them heal inside rather than to be aggressive. She never wants to hurt anyone and the only time she does is out of necessity.
Aris: Sometimes she can be a bit harsh, and most of those times its towards her twin sister Sere. Often these times are during her bouts of excessive drinking, or when shes let her unhealthy grieving get to her too much and she wants someone else to feel as hurt as she is. Selfish? Yes of course.

I’m wheezing.
10. How did you or what got you into rping?
Oh gosh, hmm lets see where to even begin....I began rping so loonnng ago, like ages. I’ve always been a lover of words and writing, so it was only natural that rp would grab my fancy. Now the beginning of my rp ventures wasn’t really anything special, but it was a great way to stave off my creative bug which is always VERY active. It wasn’t until I began rping with some friends (who we still to this day keep contact and consider each other long distance family on account of how close we all are) in a Marvel Xmen chat based room that I really started to love doing it. Hint: I’m a comic book geek as so many of us are lol. In this group I found a commonality and our own little community. It is amazing to find that, just a bunch of people who share such common loves and passions and are so similar in ways as much as we are apart. From there I went through chatroom type rp with them, and board style rp. Sadly our latest board kind of slowed to a stop since life has a tendency of getting busy and its sometimes hard to keep at it when this happens.
Eventually I made my way to playing World of Warcraft, starting out on a PVP server. It wasn’t for quite a few years that I made a character (and then many) on Moonguard. I’ve met some amazing people in this game with some amazing talent, ranging in so many different styles as well. It’s a beautiful thing to so, and a great thing to be part of. This community with a shared love of the game and a shared love of writing. I love rping with you all and it keeps me coming back, to see what wonderful stories you all have cooking.
