In honor of getting on the road to New Jersey and hoping this year not to end up arguing politics with my husband's uncle (he starts it, every time):

What's something your character really really doesn't like to be asked about or talk about?

Comments

[wayward_sun]

His missing wings.
Also, anything below surface level.

[have_no_mercy]

Tess, her childhood abuse. She'll talk about every other horror she's faced, but not that.

Rose, Thorn? Does not exist. La la la I can't hear you!

Kylo, anything to do with his parents and most of his life before he left for good.

Sikozu's a pretty open book. She'll talk about anything.

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee: getting shot and almost dying, yet the more he forces himself to talk about it, the more detached he becomes, and that disturbs him.

Pam: her life as a human, because it sucked.

Floki: if he can really hear the gods speak to him or if it's just madness.

Cassidy: how he was turned into a vampire (OOCly because I'm not sure how canon will be handled, but it was pretty fucking traumatic anyway).

[cottoncandypink]

His personal relationships, or lack thereof. It’s none of your business.

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut will not talk about her time on Freneskae. Absolutely not. Other than to say its her brother's fault and the Mahjarrat are horrible people, but nope, she won't talk about it.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Why he isn't currently with his Legion, or exactly why he hates guns.

[for_everyone]

Hera is naturally very reticent about topics that could cause trouble for her and those she works with. Like, for instance, her activities against the Empire and communications with the nascent Rebel Alliance. But it's not that these things are uncomfortable to talk about, she just obviously has to be careful.

Beyond that... there are things she won't necessarily volunteer information about, like her relationship with her father or some other aspects of her childhood/her activities before she met Kanan. But she would answer questions about it if asked.


Kanan, like Hera, is going to be careful when talking about their work against the Empire. Aside from that, he has up until this point been completely unwilling to acknowledge his Jedi past with anyone beyond those he absolutely has to (so Hera, though he initially revealed it to her because he had to use Force powers to save her, and then later Zeb and Sabine). Now that he's revealed himself to the Empire this is going to... matter less, because the worst has pretty much happened. But he's still very unwilling to actually talk about his time growing up in the Jedi Temple. He thinks of the person who lived that life as a different person, and one he doesn't think about more than he has to.

(That's also going to have to change has he trains Ezra, but. Even during that training, he very rarely talked about his specific experiences as a youngling/padawan.)

[just_cant_lose]

The real reasons why he hates everyone, and everything. Though if he did talk about it, no one would ever know how much it bothers him, not even Sherlock.

[bjornwilde]

Sabine: Her time at the Imperial Academy. She’ll allude to it, but don’t expect details.

Ahsoka: The Jedi and all the misconceptions people have about them.

[iprotectyou]

A few things, actually. To wit:

1) his lack of faith. Baze hurt his friend for twenty years. It's not something he's proud of.

2) the occupation years in general. Baze is happy, now. He has no desire to relive the last two decades.

3) the destruction of Jedha. Full stop. I think, of the bar denizens, he's only told Barry and Ibani.

4) his connection to the Force. This refers back to his lack of faith. Baze will gladly explain what the Force is, but he won't go any deeper than that. He doesn't feel he deserves to wax poetic, since he turned his back on it for so long.

[cottoncandypink]

I think he told Wilford - or at least, told him some. And then Wilford noped right out of that conversation.

[iprotectyou]

He told Wilford a little about the occupation years, but Baze didn't mention the city being obliterated, iirc.

[cottoncandypink]

Yeah, that sounds about right. Either way, Wilford is content to go the rest of his life pretending that conversation never happened.

[quick_clean_pure]

Why he doesn't have a real name. Really, though, he'll get sketchy the second anyone starts digging too deep into any of his background information.

[childofrebellion]

Belated response to this but I really like the question.

Cassian, its talking about himself, his past and the exact work he does for the Rebellion. He'll talk around the Rebellion and even bring it up in subtle ways as he does work as a recruiter, but he's basically given himself over to it. So he's incredibly skittish about talking about his personal life more than flying and fighting.

Quentin, also his personal life, he has secrets that he's careful with, his own and others. He'll distract you with talk of hockey and food.

Charles, his own pain, he'd rather talk science or mutants. If asked by someone he trusts, he'll address it but always be moving the conversation to other topics.

Sameth, how he feels about Death, he's less afraid but it makes him aware of how he's different from the rest of his family.

William, how his father died, those few days of dealing with Ben Wade, they're grey and complicated. Also his expectations for himself, at this point he sees himself as a rancher and can't imagine another option.

Will S., his younger life before he connected with Robin and his torture, what it took to bring the Sheriff down.

Moist, anything true about him but especially growing up in Uberwald.

Ivan, what it actually means to be related to who he is. He'll talk social stuff and about politics but always avoid his place in it.

Demeter, her daughter's kidnapping, the details of it.

Tumnus, the White Witch's reign.
