Okay, okay... *jumps off cliff*

Alright, let me just jump off the cliff, maybe the bandwagon is still underneath... I dunno how well I'll be able to answer these for my characters, but I can try. :)

Give me one of the characters from my story and I will tell you:
* How I feel about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing that will happen to this character in the future of my story.

Salahuddin! :D

Salahuddin

1. How do I feel about Sal? Well, I utterly adore the sim, and I love the character and then again I must also hate him for what he does... He's tough to write, or rather, tough to outline about. Once I know what is going to happen, his speech patterns and such come pretty easily. The toughness comes from the fact that I'm trying to reach contradictory goals with him: I want him to be the villain, and a dangerous one at that, but I still want him to be likeable, or at least somehow understandable, so that people would somewhat feel like "I might not accept what he does, but I sort of see why he can't not do it". In my head, he's actually a perfectly likeable guy, whose dangerous features come from his disappointment in love and inability to give up (that's a feature he's always had, but it has become stronger through all the things that have happened to him). In my head, his mind broke when Author died, and since then he's been obsessed with getting her back, without realizing what he may be doing to others and himself in his attempts.

2. Sal is a bit tough to ship with anyone, due to his obsession on Author. I didn't ever really ship him with Author either, because they never were long-time compatible, and Author belongs with Curty, full stop. Before Sal can become shippable with anyone, he'd have to overcome his obsessive love for Author, and well... you guessed it, not about to happen.

3. It's sort of sad that I can only think of the negative kinds of non-romantic OTPs for Sal. Aadam, because after he found out about his father, the two of them became really close, and with Aadam's trouble with accepting that his parents would never be together, and all his youth he had been lied to, the two of them understood each other in a way that others couldn't. And Komei, because of his anti-legacy (and somewhat also anti-playable) attitudes. Sal has had some bitter thoughts about legacies himself, and can the two can very well understand where the other one is coming from. Not that either of these relationships have led to good things, but still.

4. I don't know if there is a popular opinion about Sal, but... In my head, was he not so damn crazy, he'd actually be a nice guy.

5. Salahuddin will, in not so distant future, come to meet someone he hasn't seen for a long time.

Cyrus. :)

Cyrus

1. I completely and utterly adore Cyrus. At the same time, he's very smart and competent (makes for a good fortune sim), and also, a complete dope, when it comes to romance and such. In my head, Cyrus would probably be gray-asexual or possibly demisexual, which would explain his (partial) obliviousness to flirting as well as his non-distinction of friendship and romance. (I could ponder on this a long time, but I'll save you from the ramble. :) ) Also, one of the most important things to Cyrus is his friends (including his family of course), and that's part of why he and Chris go together so well.

2. Besides Chris, Chris Chris and Chris? Also, Chris. And, I know this may come off weird but nevertherless... If Cyrus were a person, or if I were a sim... I could totally develop a crush on him.

3. Naturally Chris, although this may feel like cheating a bit. But, they simply are best friends, full stop. Also, Cho. They've been close since childhood, and both wanted to inherit and bring the family honour. So despite their completely different attitudes towards romance and woohoo, they are pretty similar in many other respects. If possible, their grief and guilt over Charlie's death have brought the siblings even closer.

4. Cyrus is not actually a doofus, even though he often looks like it. Or, he kind of is, but... I think there's "a natural explanation" for it, see 1.

5. Cyrus will get married, and the event will be spectacular. :)

Aadam!

Aadam

[katrisims.livejournal.com]

1. As much as I like Aadam, and feel sorry for what he's had to go through in his life, I have to say that in a way, he made his own bed. In my head, Aadam only grew a spine pretty late in adulthood, and even then, he couldn't have left his father if it wasn't for Joy and their unborn children. It was because he loved his father and couldn't bear to abandon him, but he knew Sal was endangering him and his loved ones. And he still couldn't bring himself to walk out the door. Aadam was weak, to be frank, but in his old age and with the help of Joy, he's grown stronger.

2. Joy, obviously. Perhaps if they'd really tried, he and Rebecca could have made it work, but because Rebecca felt a much stronger pull towards Adson and Aadam was changing, in these circumstances their friendly breakup was pretty much inevitable. Not many women would have been able to put up with his life situation. If we put aside technical matters such as gender-preferences and takennes, perhaps Aadam could have come along with some other angsty descendant/sidekick, such as SJ or Max. At least they'd probably understand each other. Whether it'd be a good relationship, is another thing.

3. Adson, Rebecca and Abraham. Despite their breakup, Aadam and Rebecca stayed in good terms, and grew even closer in their later years. Adson was perhaps the most important person for Aadam ever since their childhood, and this endured also Adson and Rebecca's getting together. Abraham was probably, after Adson, the second closest of the siblings with Aadam, especially after he brought Rebecca back - and after Aadam forgave him the accidental zombiefication.

4. Aadam has grown stronger in his later years, but he'll always have his weak moments. Thankfully he has Joy and the girls, but at least if it weren't for them, he might have a pretty bad temptation to go back to Salahuddin.

5. Aadam's scientific skills may come useful in the future, in a matter that has to do with a certain close relative of his.

George :D

George

[katrisims.livejournal.com]

1. I like George both as a sim as a character, although I have to admit that as a character he's somewhat flat, and it's hard for me to characterize him very far. He's fiercely loyal to the Bookacies, and an invaluable help around the house.

2. Well, Count Pao, and that's pretty much the end of it, at least in my game. I mean, I've somehow always known that he'd like guys, in my head it went so that he inherited from Author not only his turn ons but also his gender preference. And well, as a fellow pleasure sim who had exactly those traits - and was another immortal - how much more perfect can you get?

3. George has been fond of every heir and heiress who's been his master/mistress in turn. Perhaps he was closest with Adrian, who was the first heir whom he'd known since childhood, and with whom he spent a lot of time also in adulthood, when helping him with his cheesy LTW.

4. Hmm. Tough one. Again, I'm not sure whether there is a popular/unpopular opinion about George. George is kind, perhaps too kind for his own good. He'd defend the family with his life if needs be, but could he stand up for himself in a tough situation?

5. George has an idea and the means to bring into action said idea, which will affect the future of the family in a fairly important way. (Can you get any more vague than that? :) )
