STOP! MEME TIME
Shhh I'm not spamming
DOING THIS FOR TST!GOLD because seriously I'll get more out of this for him than I would for Joshua.
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? About average height and average build for his age, but puberty hasn't exactly hit yet. Nothing really special in this department.
2. How old is he? 14, soon turning 15. BUT HIS MATURITY WILL FOREVER BE AN 11 YEAR OLD BRAT'S.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? Generally straight and tall (gotta look good, y'know!) and proud. He only really slouches when he's tired or hurt.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Pretty fit, probably from practically bouncing from place to place.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? He... he moves the way he does. I guess the best way to describe it is energetically (WHY DO I GET THE FEELING I'M GOING TO BE USING THIS WORD A LOT??) and tirelessly in normal situations. In abnormal situations (SOMEONE STOLE HIS STUFF or something), he moves very much in an unplanned way, moments of less movement before bursting into action.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? YOU'RE ASKING THE WRONG PERSON ABOUT PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. I find him kind of cute but I that's more due to hispool cue personality than his actual looks. HE THINKS HE LOOKS PRETTY DAMN GOOD, THOUGH.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? ... uh. Ordinary, I guess? He has the complexion of someone who spends a fair amount of time outside, but their skin doesn't really tan as such, just gets slightly darker? I AM GUD WITH WORDS TONIGHT. HE'S AS DARK AS I AM, WHICH ISN'T THAT DARK, BUT DARKER THAN HOW JAPANESE TEND TO BE DEPICTED. There.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. EXPLODING, MAN. It's black and spiky with some wild bangs that... Gold actually sort of combs into that style. Most of the time he's wearing a black and yellow cap turned backwards, as well as a pair of goggles that sit over the top.
9. What color are his eyes? Exactly what it says on the tin.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? No, not really.
11. What are his chief tension centers? WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN. Where he tenses up if he gets angry? A MUSCLE IN HIS CHEEK TWITCHES WHEN HE'S ANNOYED, shoulder blades tense when he's mad, I guess. He seems to be the sort who's upper body tenses up.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? Weee don't really see him wearing anything else, but I'm guessing all of Gold's clothing is casual and brightly coloured, going by what he's usually wearing. It's all actually quite practical.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? Fit well, but are loose so he can move freely. So yeah, he's damn comfortable in them.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? Jo...b? (Yes, he dresses the same)
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? BRIEFS and not just because I'm boring but because you can't do the shit he does without the proper support, man.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? LIKE A GUY WHOSE BALLS HAVEN'T DROPPED YET. When he gets a bit older, he'll be a lovely tenor~
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? SHOUNENLY. That is, on the sliding scale of loud and soft, he's on the loud side, and REALLY LOUD when he's annoyed/mad/angry, and he speaks at the speed of plot. So, not really fast (except when denying an accusation "No, not me!", where he speaks quickly), but definitely clearly, and he'll always have enough time to say what he wants to say, dammit ! Also, HESITATION? WHAT IS THIS WORD YOU SPEAK OF?
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? I'm terrible with accents so I have no idea. No real verbal tics that I've noticed (but it's hard to tell when there's inconsistent translators), but he speaks really informally and casually !
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? UHHH. I kind of want him to know the Reial version of Japanese, but logically I don't think he would. So, yeah, just whatever common language it is that everyone's speaking.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Nop.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? GOLD? THINK? AS IF! He speaks without thinking.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? GOLD HAS NO BRAIN TO MOUTH FILTER. However, he seems to be very good at giving SHOUNEN SPEECHES when the situation calls for it. It's not because he's thinking about his words for once, because he's not. It's because he's SPEAKING DIRECTLY FROM HIS SHOUNEN HEART.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? Hmmm, he's not really street-smart as such. Gold's more... instinctual. He's very good at pulling really what the hell improvisations out of his ass. You could say it's his talent.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? HE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF IMPROVISATION.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Definitely more intuitive, and while he has 'idealistic' principles, sometimes he has practical solutions for things. ...And then he goes and makes an elaborate disguise that doesn't work.
4. What kind of education has the character had? I'm not sure. I imagine he could have gone to a fairly decent school but would have raised hell and a half. At the very least, it's up to middle school equivalent.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? UH. HE IS GOOD WITH BABY ANIMALS or something. He's not exactly nurturing but he does take care of them and will go through hell and back to protect them. ALSO. POOL. YEAH. FUCKING A+ AT THAT except Gold seems really good at single targets, but not so good at sinking multiple at once. Maybe he'll get better and be able to do that when he's older and even more awesome.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert? EXTROVERT ALL THE WAY.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? EASILY RILED but also easy to placate. Definitely on the cheerful side since his life's been nothing but a wonderfully easy one. Definitely laid back and worry free, though he can be extremely driven on the rare occasion.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? ENTHUSIASTIC. LEAPS INTO THINGS WILLINGLY AND DOES NOT LOOK BACK. Unless you're an old hag. Then he gets whiny.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react? GOLD IS A DOER, NOT A THINKER.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight? FAITO FAITO. Even when fleeing, HE STILL FIGHTS.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? He definitely has an appreciation for pranks. Jokes and puns are probably a bit hit-or-miss. I don't think he gets gallows humour at all, probably because what's important is how you LIVE. Dirty jokes will probably get a simultaneous laugh and snort of red-faced embarrassment.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them? NOPE unless you count recklessness as a mental disorder.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? ... THIS QUESTION IS HARD. I don't know how to answer this for both Gold AND Joshua I'M GOING TO SKIP THIS.
14. What does he fear? Being useless, not being able to make a difference. That even after putting everything he has into something, even putting MORE than everything he has into something, it was meaningless. There need to be special circumstances for him to feel like shit about this, though, as otherwise he'll just keep on trying anyway. I think having someone he trusts betray him would hurt a lot, too, until he kicks himself and starts believing they have their reasons.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?TO KICK SILVER'S ASS. TO BE THE VERY BEST. At what, though, is still up in the air.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? The number of unsuccessful attempts he's had at getting a girl to go out with him.And let's not even mention the 'girls' who were guys.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents. He gets on pretty well with his mum, who's the opposite of a worry wart. He does call home to her on a frequent basis to keep her from worrying anyway, and to keep her up to date on what he's up to. Headcanon is that his dad left them, so I get the feeling he does this since he doesn't know his dad, and doesn't want to be like him and make his mum feel alone.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? Nope! Only child, but lives with a LOT of pokémon, and he seems to like them all. They're his family, and he'll protect them and look out for them, though sometimes he's prone to being self-centered, which can make him a bit scatterbrained when it comes to checking up on them.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? Nooot that I know of.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them? ... DHURP I answered this in 2.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? I NEED MORE CR.
6. Does he have other close friends? I NEED MORE CR.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people? MIXED BAG. On the one hand, Gold's an obnoxious brat, which can be a total friend turn off. But on the other hand, people tend to be a bit more accepting of his ways once they find out he's not a bad guy.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends? BOTH! Though I think friends beats family by a little bit, because they're... people who can go on crazy adventures with and such. But his family's the constant 'home', y'know?
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once? UNDERAGE UNDERAGE UNDERAGE.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? UNDERAGE.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest? His first crush was probably a girl who either wasn't afraid to inflict some pain on him when he was being particularly annoying, or a girl who was his partner in crime while he was in school. Or both. Gold tends to be a magnet for abuse. His latest's probably DJ Mary, though I think he's grown out of it, though he still thinks she's cute and likes her singing a lot.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner? I DON'T THINK HE CONSCIOUSLY THINKS ABOUT THIS, but definitely someone who he can rely on and someone who he can trust to take care of themselves. Everything else is optional.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any? GOLD'S NOT GOING TO THINK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING HE'S YOUNG ENOUGH TO BE A GRANDCHILD.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies? NOT YET.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale? 1 on the Kinsey scale. "Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual."
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him? Oh god right now he's curious as hell about it but still at the giggly stage where confronting him with sexual stuff is embarrassing as hell so he puts it out of his mind. Not really important to him yet, since lol underage.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? He finds toppy girls hot, but OLD HAGS and bondage a turn-off. UNDERAGE.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? Gonna go off descriptions in wiki.
Gold's a Cancer by western astrology, and is hilariously off on some things. Cancer is considered a "feminine", introvert sign (he's the opposite). However, Cancer is strongly associated with the Moon, which is "associated with a person's emotional make-up, unconscious habits, rhythms, memories and moods. It is also associated with the mother, maternal instincts or the urge to nurture, the home, and the past." Quite fitting when you consider his instinctual nature and the need to protect those who can't do that for themselves. As a water sign, Cancers are TORRENTS OF PASSION and feel things deeply (THIS SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT) but the rest about calmness doesn't. Cancer's the fourth house, which is the House of Home and Family, which is... alright.
For Chinese zodiac (not going to include most of the other details like secret animals), Gold is a boar if we take his TST age and assume it's 2010 in TST. It's half and half. Yeah, he's passionate, trusting, self-indulgent, but he's also not calm, understanding or patient.
tl;dr Gold doesn't fit all that well with his astrological signs.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? He doesn't really think too hard about those things. Yeah, he'll acknowledge their existence, but pffft he's got no interest in them. He's living in the NOW!
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Oh yeah, definitely. Starting with the small things, he always returns favours (although he only considers something a favour if he feels thankful for it, so BAH OLD HAGS). I think this might've just been someone his mum drilled into him as a kid. On a larger scale, Gold is fiercely protective of those who can't protect themselves. This is mostly from growing up with all these baby pokémon, and he'd worry when one went missing. The pokémon, in return, also worry when Gold gets himself involved in something that could get him hurt. He also can't stand being used, and can't stand it when someone is using someone else. I think that's partially because his strongest relationships with people are built on trust, and that... violates that principle.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Tolerant, but generally WHATEVER about it, unless it hits his buttons i.e. HURTING THE HELPLESS, USING OTHER PEOPLE. Sometimes he'll get temporarily mad at people, but that's considered tolerant for him, since he's not angry.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? OLD HAGS WILL ALWAYS BE OLD HAGS. Completely irrational... or is it? It's something of a cycle. He calls someone an old hag, the old hag beats him up, leading him to feel all old hags are violent, crotchety ladies, leading him to call them an old hag because that's what they are... etc. etc.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? COMFORTABLE at home, except when he's out in the wide world, he absolutely sucks at managing his money being a rich idiot, so he's flat out broke right now.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? [BRAINDOES NOT PROCESS]
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? MANSION which is actually not really too much of a mansion, more like a large house. It's his place to crash and just chill and not have to bother about anything, and it's got pretty much everything he really needs to kick back and relax. It's surprisingly spick and span considering how many pokémon live in it (maybe because of likitung...?). He seriously does not mind sharing his living space with other people if they need it, though. AS LONG AS THEY GIVE HIM THE RESPECT, BECAUSE IT'S HIS HOUSE, FOOL.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? FOOD. RANDOM STUFF THAT TAKES HIS FANCY. Hell I think he'd forget to spend his cash on basic necessities until he realises he doesn't have any for them.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? UH. WELL. Being an entertainer on the Ammy is the first job he's had (or is it? he could have done paper runs in the past, but when he's got money from home... why work for it?). He'd be hell good at the pool part, especially with all the trick shots he can do. He'd probably take a shine to the job and find it fun. After all, he's done what he loves, in front of an audience who'll shower praise and adoration on him. What's not to love about it?
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? GAMBLING GAMES. POOL. PRANKS.porn. CHILLIN'. WHATEVER HE FEELS LIKE DOING AT THE TIME.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? He doesn't skip his meals when he's at home or somewhere else that otherwise has regular meals. However, if he's out on his own, he'll definitely eat out when he can; he only cooks if he absolutely must.
Associations
Which of the following do you associate with the character, or which is his favorite:
1. Color? GOLD
2. Smell? SOMETHING BURNING. AND THAT BURNING THING WOULD BE HIS SHOUNEN SPIRIT. If that doesn't count... uh. HOT SWEATY... kid. :|
3. Time of day? NOON
4. Season? SUMMER
5. Book? I don't think Pokémon Special counts.
6. Music? I DUNNO.
7. Place? URBAN AREAS
8. Substance? WTF IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN. I DON'T ASSOCIATE GOLD WITH ILLEGAL DRUGS TYVM.
9. Plant? A SUNFLOWER
10. Animal? A MOTHERFUCKING MONKEY.

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? Gonna go off descriptions in wiki.
Gold's a Cancer by western astrology, and is hilariously off on some things. Cancer is considered a "feminine", introvert sign (he's the opposite). However, Cancer is strongly associated with the Moon, which is "associated with a person's emotional make-up, unconscious habits, rhythms, memories and moods. It is also associated with the mother, maternal instincts or the urge to nurture, the home, and the past." Quite fitting when you consider his instinctual nature and the need to protect those who can't do that for themselves. As a water sign, Cancers are TORRENTS OF PASSION and feel things deeply (THIS SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT) but the rest about calmness doesn't. Cancer's the fourth house, which is the House of Home and Family, which is... alright.
For Chinese zodiac (not going to include most of the other details like secret animals), Gold is a boar if we take his TST age and assume it's 2010 in TST. It's half and half. Yeah, he's passionate, trusting, self-indulgent, but he's also not calm, understanding or patient.
tl;dr Gold doesn't fit all that well with his astrological signs.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? He doesn't really think too hard about those things. Yeah, he'll acknowledge their existence, but pffft he's got no interest in them. He's living in the NOW!
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Oh yeah, definitely. Starting with the small things, he always returns favours (although he only considers something a favour if he feels thankful for it, so BAH OLD HAGS). I think this might've just been someone his mum drilled into him as a kid. On a larger scale, Gold is fiercely protective of those who can't protect themselves. This is mostly from growing up with all these baby pokémon, and he'd worry when one went missing. The pokémon, in return, also worry when Gold gets himself involved in something that could get him hurt. He also can't stand being used, and can't stand it when someone is using someone else. I think that's partially because his strongest relationships with people are built on trust, and that... violates that principle.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Tolerant, but generally WHATEVER about it, unless it hits his buttons i.e. HURTING THE HELPLESS, USING OTHER PEOPLE. Sometimes he'll get temporarily mad at people, but that's considered tolerant for him, since he's not angry.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? OLD HAGS WILL ALWAYS BE OLD HAGS. Completely irrational... or is it? It's something of a cycle. He calls someone an old hag, the old hag beats him up, leading him to feel all old hags are violent, crotchety ladies, leading him to call them an old hag because that's what they are... etc. etc.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? COMFORTABLE at home, except when he's out in the wide world, he absolutely sucks at managing his money being a rich idiot, so he's flat out broke right now.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? [BRAINDOES NOT PROCESS]
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? MANSION which is actually not really too much of a mansion, more like a large house. It's his place to crash and just chill and not have to bother about anything, and it's got pretty much everything he really needs to kick back and relax. It's surprisingly spick and span considering how many pokémon live in it (maybe because of likitung...?). He seriously does not mind sharing his living space with other people if they need it, though. AS LONG AS THEY GIVE HIM THE RESPECT, BECAUSE IT'S HIS HOUSE, FOOL.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? FOOD. RANDOM STUFF THAT TAKES HIS FANCY. Hell I think he'd forget to spend his cash on basic necessities until he realises he doesn't have any for them.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? UH. WELL. Being an entertainer on the Ammy is the first job he's had (or is it? he could have done paper runs in the past, but when he's got money from home... why work for it?). He'd be hell good at the pool part, especially with all the trick shots he can do. He'd probably take a shine to the job and find it fun. After all, he's done what he loves, in front of an audience who'll shower praise and adoration on him. What's not to love about it?
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? GAMBLING GAMES. POOL. PRANKS.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? He doesn't skip his meals when he's at home or somewhere else that otherwise has regular meals. However, if he's out on his own, he'll definitely eat out when he can; he only cooks if he absolutely must.
