Monday DE

A great suggestion from [personal profile] ceitfianna :

Based on your character's skill set, how do they view the world? Some examples of the types of awareness might be spatially, emotionally, kinetically, and such like. Or another way to look at it, what are the first things they notice?

(Also, just a reminder for folks and let newcomers know, we have a daily entertainment suggestion box that is open 24/7. It's a great resource for us DE muns and we loves it, especially on those mornings when we are completely stumped for a topic. Post early, post often.)

I had the idea for this DE because of my current threads with Cassian in handcuffs and realizing that he thinks spatially. He's a pilot, he puts intel together in terms of puzzle pieces and as someone who's good at escapes, he looks into how to move through space. He also approaches the world through an emotional lens, that comes through in the novelization, he's incredibly good at reading people and knowing how to connect with them quickly or use them as part of his job.

Charles views everything through the emotional lens of the thoughts and feelings around him and uses them to navigate.

Quentin thinks in I almost want to say social terms, he's very aware of etiquette and then in terms of moving through it, kinetically, he's good at knowing when to show himself and when to hide.

Sameth is tricky because he sees everything really through the lens of the Charter and his work of creating. So he thinks in terms of how does this work mixed with how could I use this space.

William is very spatial and kinetic, he's good at eying up a space and reacting quickly, it fits with the work he does.

Moist is all about emotionally and spatially, how can he come into this space and get the reaction he wants and disappear.

Will S. is more kinetic than spatial but they're closely tied for him. He's someone who's spent his time shifting in and out, hiding and as a thief.

Ivan reads a room emotionally and then spatially in a combination of his upbringing in the Barayarran court and being a soldier. He's good at knowing the person to talk to and where to hide against a wall.

Demeter is incredibly spatial, so much of her awareness comes through the ground and her connection to plants and all that grows.

Tumnus, I think is emotional with the others much smaller.
