1. The Chimaera's story is one of the first Greek myths I remember learning. I had a beautiful picturebook of Greek mythology, and that was one of the stories covered within it. My decision to app her was kind of a silly one, since originally she was based off FMA!Martel, who was a snake chimera. Upon the suggestion that I play a Martel-based character, I remembered this myth and thought it'd be interesting to put a spin on that character as this monster, since they were both chimera.
2. While I'm sure Martel has a whole slew of sparkling personality traits, her ferocious loyalty probably is somewhere at the top of the list.
3. More often than not her pride causes chain reactions within her impulsiveness and quick temper, and usually leads to her killing people that ought not to be killed, or getting herself mortally wounded.
4. On the one hand, her voice and mannerisms are amazingly fun to write, and are interesting and all these other wonderful things. However, Martel has an extremely complicated mind, so writing her takes a lot out of me, and can be hard when I'm tired or not at my best.
5. My most recent story arc for her is pretty defining, but I'm not going to spoil you. The log with her meeting Greed is also good, because it goes very indepth on how Martel thinks and tends to react to things.
6. I really don't understand this question. ._. I've got a lot in store for Martel, development-wise. I want to establish more family connections with her, write some kind of fight scene in which she can show her overprotective side, and emphasize her maternal tendencies.
Boudicca.
1. I watched a special with my mother about her a few years ago, and was completely taken with her general awesome. A warrior queen who has the balls to say "Fuck you" to Rome has to be pretty damn tough. She popped into my head one day as a possibility, and so eventually I was just like "Screw it, I'm apping her."
2. Bou is calculating and intelligent as a rule. Like any royal, she's good at putting up a front that makes her look impressive in whatever situation she might be in.
3. Definitely going to have to go with pride again. Whether it's little mistakes on the vanity front, or bigger mistakes on the grand scheme of things, sometimes Bou overshoots herself, or misses opportunities.
4. I am quite fond of her, but I'm still working out some of her queenly kinks. Sometimes I'm at a loss as to how she'd react to something, just because her mindset is so different from my own.
5. She's only got one log currently [whine, etc] but seeing as how close the events of that log are to her story, it is a pretty good representation about what I'm basing her off of.
6. I HATE THIS QUESTION. I really want to get her more involved in plot, since she doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going on right now.
