Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudocanon.

MILES EDGEWORTH.

Yeah I'm a broken record. :D

[aerie.livejournal.com]

ANKO. (Obviously my own set of uselessly elaborate fanon for a character that has not appeared in like four years is not enough!)

Rodney McKay!

[gokudera]

*drumroll* .... BALTHIER! Or Ramza. Or Mustadio. Or or or Sora. I can't decide :(((

[sairobi.livejournal.com]

I SECOND THE CALL FOR BALTHIER.

[moonsheen.livejournal.com]

oh boy, I actually have a lot of these. But I'll keep it brief:

Miles Edgeworth has a terrible memory. He forgets faces of business associates, names, general locations, details of previous trials he's handled--sometimes really obvious stuff. He organizes things so strictly mostly because he'll forget where things are if he doesn't. This is probably a combination of very little sleep and a longstanding case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He's never ruled out the fact that it might very well just be a result of brain damage due to that time he was kind of stuck in an elevator with no air. It is irritating.


Miles Edgeworth wears contacts. His vision is pretty damn bad. He'd wear glasses, except that'd make him look a little too much like his dad, and he's really not sure how he feels about that. But the world is pretty darn blurry to him on default. And he has a VERY SPECIFIC PLACE that he puts them each night (when he actually sleeps) because he'll...forget where the hell they are otherwise. When he starts sleeping with Phoenix this becomes a serious problem, as Phoenix's place pretty much follows no standard logic whatsoever as far as where things end up in the morning.

Miles Edgeworth's office shelves are all legal books, right up to the top. There is a total of one book in his collection that isn't. It is a battered copy of To Kill A Mockingbird, which he keeps in his desk, because his father is Gregory Peck used to read it to him. He feels it is a necessary text.

Fran from FFXII. The game I know nothing about, but enjoy looking at.

god damnit Kishimoto what the HELL

[moonsheen.livejournal.com]

HAS IMMUNITY TO MOST POISONS. Basically because Orochimaru kept on slipping it into her tea and food until she built up a good healthy strength against most poisons generally known to man and a few especially synthesized by her teacher. The worst snake bite will probably just give her a really bad headache, and she can drink pretty much the whole of Konoha under the table. (Ibiki may be the only one who even comes close to matching her. And he gets giggly when he's drunk enough. This amuses her, so she's his favorite guy to hit the bars with. Plus I suspect she thinks the scarring's hot)

Is remarkably flexible. She is double jointed in just about every crook that she has, and a few that she shouldn't. You know that thing cats can do where they can wiggle through impossible small spaces? Anko slithers through them. It always made her extremely skilled at espionage missions, and in fact Orochimaru frequently used her as a spy prior to his departure.

The Anbu who subdued and retrieved Anko was in fact led by, Hatake Kakashi. It was a very nasty fight. The Curse Seal became involved. She mostly lost due to an over reliance on it in it's incomplete and undeveloped state, and her master left her for dead upon witnessing this particular failure. Out of spite, she gave away just about everything she knew about his movements. She doesn't hold a grudge against Kakashi though. She likes a guy who can make her bleed and vice versa. We won't go into how much timeline fuckery is involved to make taht fight even vaguely feasible.

Sleeps in the nude.

Judges people by taste.

Kurosaki Ichigo?

Fran speaks to machines a little like she once spoke to the forest. She can hear them down to their core, she has the ears for it, and thus when she refers to the airship as its own entity she really MEANS it, as she sort of just gets the language of the way the parts work, and the general flow of Mist through its veins. As a result, the moogles pretty much follow her direction when it comes to zeroing in on problem bits when fixing the Strahl. She'll walk ahead with about five of things bobbing around them, running her claws over the walls until she finds a spot, taps it, and let's them have at.

Fran has a soft spot for Penelo. Some of this is due to residual feelings about her younger sister, Mjrn. Most of it is due to the fact that Penelo is one of the few party members (besides Balthier) who honestly does not hold her at some distance and awe due to the general problem of being an eight foot tall bunny woman. She thus is very protective of the girl, and will sometimes tell her viera bedtime stories, at least the ones she is allowed to tell to humans. The logic behind which ones are okay and which aren't is pretty much unknown to any but viera themselves.

Fran considers Balthier a true kindred spirit, but so very, very young. He probably reminds her a little bit of herself many years ago, when she'd just left her home. She's pretty much very patient with his Sky Pirate strutting, and has absolutely no problem cutting through it for the sake of immediate business. Also, has dragged him away from 'pleasing company' in the name of a quick gettaway.

Fran is never at full ease. This is especially true in cities. She is constantly tense, and her ears never, ever stop moving. She will swivel an ear in your general direction before she'll turn to look at you. It's just a viera thing.

Balthier used to be SPOILED AS HELL. He was once essentially the center of his father's world, although his father's tendency for mad science was always something that went strong. His father just loved to involve him with it like, constantly. If there was a schematic that needed hanging up in what should've been the guest room, Ffamran got to do it. Cid tutored him religiously in his studies, and often times would pause in the middle of helping him with schoolwork when he reached a scientific REVELATION. Ffamran was essentially his research assistant in a lot of ways. Ffamran acted exasperated by hell as all of this, but secretly had a hell of a lot of affection for his old man. He had no idea what to do with himself when he ended up completley forgotten, and Balthier is still not really used to being relegated to background noise. He prefers to be the center of attention.

Balthier cannot actually punch for shit. Seriously, just look at his barehanded animation. He'll gives these wussy, wussy little SMACKS. He can't really help being a pasty Archadian noble by birth. He just doesn't have the best stamina when it comes to these things. Physical labor is difficult. He gets sun burns really easily. He hates getting sweaty because it ruins his silk shirts. Somehow he manages to be all heroic when it comes to saving kids in trouble though (see: VAAN). He has GREAT LEGS, however. He knows how to kick, and can also run really, really damn fast when he has to (he often has to).

Balthier is actually amazingly intelligent. He is just as much a genius as his father when it comes to certain models of airships. I mean, this IS the guy who managed to CARJACK BAHAMUT. He can tell you a great deal about how to harness a skystone, how to deal with the feedback, how to adjust for outside Mist interference. He also knows a lot of the technicalities of the very complicated Archadian law-system, like what days you're allowed to carry swords, and what days that arrows are banned. On the other hand, he has no bloody clue about how to ride a chocobo and has no interest in refining this skill, as he thinks those birds are some of the most wretched things on earth.

Balthier is SO VAIN. Fancy skin lotions from foreign lands? He totally has them. If he has the oppportunity, he will spend an hour shaving in the morning. Hates stubble. Hates feeling even the slightest bit dirty. Of the party, him and Ashe probably demand the party stop as often as possible when there's a fresh body of water nearby. The first time he ever finds a grey hair? He is going to freak the hell out. Mid life crisis by the age of thirty. Or possibly twenty five. It will consist of: oh lord, I am going to end up fat, grey, blind, and crazy JUST LIKE THE OLD MAN. Fran doesn't get it. She has white hair, what's the problem?

Was born out of wedlock, but was legitimized pretty damn quickly. This doesn't come up very much, but in Archadian society it was a source of some snideness in some circles. He didn't run in those circles.

Served under Judge Zecht, previously, as Judge Zecht was at that time the closest judicial ally his father had. Was possibly one of the least motivated judges ever. This is one of the reasons he is Very Uncomfortable whenever Reddas comes up. He really, really hopes the guy doesn't remember some of the shit he pulled in basic.

SINCE THE OTHER TWO ARE BEING COVERED. I will go with RAMZA BEOULVE, bitches.


Ramza is REALLY REALLY TINY. The only one in the party shorter than him is Rafa, and possibly Ovelia in their brief time escorting her, and even then she might've had a hair's breadth on him. Alma comes to about the same height. By contrast, Delita has been over six feet since age fifteen and has never not ribbed both of them about it. The funny thing is, however, most people don't notice that Ramza's really short. This is partly because when he barks orders he does it from the highest point of the battle field. This is also partly because he holds himself in such a way that you easily forget. This is also maybe because he has a REALLY DEEP, REALLY STRONG VOICE that can carry very easily. He is a little lion, but he ROARS. This is why most of his special abilities are tied with his ability to scream his head off. Because Ramza enjoys screaming his head off when he fights.

Has a surprisingly high tolerence for the amazing amount of weirdness of his army. Beowulf seems to have a disturbingly intimate relationship with his dragon? Well, some men are allowed their eccentricities. Pretty much a whole lot of CRAZY can go down around him and he'll just sit calmly, paging through his maps. Cloud has seizures and speaks in tongues? ... well, he's Cloud. Mustadio's been chased up a tree? ... he can stay there for awhile and think aboutn what he's done. RAMZA JUST KEEPS TO BUSINESS.

He's allergic to ghosts. When there's one nearby he gets terribly queasy, watery-eyed, and pale. This is the result of an unfortunate childhood incident when he was locked in a room with one of the local Igros spirits for the better part of a day.

Is a total TECHNOPHOBE. He doesn't like any of this newfangled golden age technology. He has a curiousity for things he's never seen before, but when it comes down to it he won't touch a gun SO HELP HIM. Mustadio has to do some serious coaxing to get him to approach any form of strange machinery he's dug up. This coaxing generally involves sparking Ramza's boyish competitive side, which is very strong, and which Mustadio can appeal to more often than anyone else.

Speaks in a Gallionne accent. Very high-class, very cultured, but also comes with the reputation of some foppishness in other provinces. (LOOK AT LARG) Mustadio makes fun of this all the time.

[gokudera]

AHAHA OH MY GOD my Ramza is really midgety, too. Though not so much with the deep, booming voice so much as just booming and easily excited/impassioned. Damn bleeding heart heroes.

Mustadio's been chased up a tree? ... he can stay there for awhile and think aboutn what he's done.

sdklfajsd NOW I PRETTY MUCH WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT MUSTADIO ahahaha I loved him and his wacky sidekick hijinks so much.

[gokudera]

oh boy somebody requested him *____*

[moonsheen.livejournal.com]

Sora's not stupid. He's actually a very bright, very clever boy. He just kinda has a problem with FOCUS, okay? He just has to do everything at once, okay! It's not that Roxas is smarter than him in any way, it's just Roxas is Sora with some focus. Sora could be a good student if he wanted to be. Problem is he'd rather run around with his friends building tree houses and swordfighting on roofs.

Sora is going to be a total flirt. He likes girls! He likes flirting with girls! He can be a TOTAL CHARMER and his intentions are really just mostly completely pure. He just thinks girls are AWESOME! He is also however an honorary member of their ranks, as he is the best when it comes to sitting around and bitching about the asshole boys, and relationship troubles. "Look, just talk to him. Communication is important! Guys can be stupid. TRUST ME. We're total retards."

Sora cries at chick flicks. End of Moulin Rouge, Kairi was dry as a bone. But Sora? CRIED AND CRIED AND CRIED because HE THOUGHT THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT OKAY. Sora also loves weddings. No, seriously. He really does. He's really pissed he missed Ariel's. He really hopes he gets invited to Belle's, though.

Sora loves sports. He doesn't have the attention span to stay on just one school team, but informally there is nothing he really loves more than just an impromptu neighborhood game of stickball. Tidus sometimes stands on rooftops and DECLARES these things. Sora's always the first person to show up. Sora and Tidus would basically be BFF if Riku and Kairi weren't around. It is for the better that Riku and Kairi are, as they actually keep him from doing the really, really stupid stuff.

Jingles when he moves. It's just a thing. It doesn't really even matter if he's wearing his school uniform or if he's just in boxers. He jangles when he turns suddenly, or when he flops down, or when he jumps. It sounds like a thousand keys clanking together.

Sora thinks Roxas is possibly the best thing ever. HE THINKS HAVING A SPLIT PERSONALITY IS REALLY KINDA AWESOME. It's like having a friend who is ALWAYS THERE. Roxas points out it's because they're the same person. Sora doesn't see it like that. Sora is basically the kind of guy who can love himself in the way that a healthy person should and very few people actually do, so as a result he loves Roxas too. He's not really complete without the guy, yanno? He is half of who he is. "...not exactly your better half," Roxas points out. "You're the half that's good at math, though!" "... I just know numbers, Sora." ...Sora gives himself a headache sometimes. Sora has conversations like this in public.

Sora figured out Riku likes guys. You sort of just know with Riku. He's totally okay with it. That's just a part of who Riku is. The problem is he's yet to connect the fact that 'Riku likes guys' to 'Riku likes ME.' This has lead to so much headshaking in his general direction. He's not dumb, just a little blind sometimes.

Sora also admits Riku can be a total dick, and a bit of a bully. Growing up, Riku was basically that friend who was a TOTAL ASSHOLE TO EVERYONE but you hung out with anyway because he WAS STILL THE BEST FRIEND YOU HAD. Riku went a different school than him further inland, so during the school year Sora never saw him. But when summer came, without fail, he'd be waiting for him at the train station.

DO YOU WELCOME INPUT AND BABBLING? BECAUSE I LOVE BABBLING ABOUT CHARACTERIZATION.

[gokudera]

screaming with delight you have no idea. YESSS TO SORA THE SMART KID WITH ADD. Although I do think he has the capacity to learn a lot, he probably isn't going to, because the Destiny Islands are a tropical climate and there is no one thing more distracting than gorgeous weather outside when you're stuck inside (learning about the peasant rebellions or whatever). I would think if you had to classify it, it's people-smart, book-stupid. He shows himself to be surprisingly receptive, if not a little... dense when things pertain to him, and also a little pigheaded? Oh, Sora ♥

AND A FLIRT! And a sap for chick flicks!! He is just really a romantic at heart, I can see him being the sort of kid who is like... Tamaki, if you know anything about him. A honeydripper when he feels like it, but not insincere. I think between the two of them, though, Roxas is the real crybaby when it comes right down to it. Yeah, Sora gets worked up easily, but I think Roxas is the side of him that's really moved by things. It makes sense that that was the part that persisted when he became a heartless, right? The part of him that's passionate (as opposed to sentimental).

Jingling. JINGLING ♥♥♥ oh my god I love this detail, I think that might just be because it's SORA BEING NOISY. I think he'd really suck at stealth--not because he's clumsy or anything (he's actually kinda dexterous, though I imagine he'd have two left feet) but because he's like... a really big ball of potential energy?

Oh my god. Kid!Riku. I have so much love for kid!Riku. Like... unending amounts. That bonus manga chapter where they're like... dicking around in the caves? Beautiful.

Sora: RIKU. RIKU LET'S GO BACK, IT'S DARK.
Riku: What, are you SCARED?
Sora: NO, it's just--
Riku: SCARED
Sora: It's d-
Riku: SCARED SCARED SCARED SCARED
Sora: I AM NOT SCARED IT'S JUST DARK IN HERE OKAY
Riku: Fine, you hang out here, I'm going further in.
Sora: *fume* FINE! .... whatwasthat. RIKU! RIKU COME BACK THERE WAS A NOISE

childhood!scaredycat!sora, I may never recover from the delight.

He prefers to be the center of attention.

I love how this little tiny bit of canon blends PERFECTLY with your version of events.

I also love how your idea of Balthier is DAMN SMRT but completely ignorant in some respects. It stands in direct opposition to one of the little fanons that drives me batty: Balthier is brilliant about eeeeeverything. Nonono!

In conclusion: love love LOVE.
