Character Survey

[commandernoodle]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Throk is 8'5" and is built like a skinny noodle. He does have wide shoulders and lean muscle, but his body looks kind of like it's been stretched out by a microsoft paint tool. Long legs, long arms, and a long torso. Every part of him seems almost unnecessarily long and thin, right down to his long spindly fingers.

2. How old is he?
He's in his twenties. At least, he would be, had he aged like a human.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Slouches like nobody's fucking business.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Scarily fit and strong despite his anatomy suggesting differently. No illnesses or conditions.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Graceful and fluid- Normally. Sometimes though, he'll not be paying attention and trip over his own feet or the ship will shake in such a way that he goes down like a tree being chopped down in the forest and he's not really graceful enough to always be able to catch himself. But moving normally and during a fight, he's a gracefully fluid force to be reckoned with. Prince Lotor even says that his form is excellent. He is impulsive and aggressive however, something that will come out and be obvious if it's a fight he takes seriously.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Throk is reasonably attractive with his thin face and distinct nose. To someone more skittish he may come off as more scary than attractive though, considering his predatory look, complete with sharp teeth in his mouth that he likes showing off when he smiles. He perceives himself as looking rather like a regular Galra, not ugly, but not the most attractive either- with their varied appearances, going from cat-like to reptilian, it's rather difficult to set a bar for what's attractive and what's not.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
He has purple fur covering his body, and though hidden under his uniform, has darker patches of fur across his shoulders, a dusting of darker purple under his forearms, and faint stripes across his back. He has some thin scars, mostly on his forearms, and the fur is thinner in those areas.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Fine fur. No real hair to speak of, just a darker color fur across his head and over his ears.

9. What color are his eyes?
Bright yellow. They have a slight glow to them in the dark.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
His nose and the markings on his face.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
His shoulders and between the shoulder blades. His neck also usually hurts.

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?
He usually wears a black jumpsuit that's zipped in the back when not working, and knee-high boots.

If he's going out- this rarely happens- he'll wear dark pants and an oversized hoodie and lace-up ankle boots.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Yes they do, though when going out, he does wear an oversized hoodie. He's always comfortable in his clothes, yes.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
No he does now. At work he wears a Commander's armor, in red and black. Arm guards, chest piece, military-issued boots, the whole shebang.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Commando. You think he's gonna trap his tail inside another piece of cloth than his normal clothes? When in civilian clothes he might bother to put some boxers on.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He's a good impromptu speaker, yeah. You kind of have to be in his job. He'll think about and carefully select his words only when he feels there's some benefit to it.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent and so he will remain even a second from death.


Mental and Emotional

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He thinks on his feet, mind razor sharp and quick to respond to every situation, though he's impulsive and aggressive, which may sometimes work against him. He'll deliberate only if he's thinking about his own plans and how to execute them, but in his position you have to be able to react quickly.

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Fairly cordial. His mother raised him alone, his father was in the military. He's met his father in his adult years and finds him an average soldier.

While he doesn't speak to his mother any more, he does appreciate all she did for him. With the exception of her being forgetful and leaving him behind in public places a few times, she was a very good mama and he actually spent most of his first year alive being wrapped up in a blanket burrito, strapped to her chest in a baby sling, and when he was a toddler, she kept him on a leash most of the time to keep him from going off in hot pursuit of small prey.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Two younger brothers, and one older, that he knows. His relationship with them is cordial, though they were definitely trying to one-up each other as children. They've become average soldiers like their father, and Throk lords his position over them when he sees them, though they remain on neutral terms. He has several half-siblings, both older and younger, but he doesn't have much interest in them.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
No.

He considers Commander Réson to be a trusted ally, trusting him as he would a brother.

Réson. They met in the military.

6. Does he have other close friends?
No.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He makes friends easily, though it's more them considering him a friend rather than him considering them a friend.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single.

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
No.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
Réson. Fuck if you'll get him to admit it though.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Strength and smarts, and a sharp wit. Someone who can make him truly laugh and relax in their presence without feeling like they'll some day shove a knife through the back of his skull. Looks don't really matter to him at all.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
No. While it's almost required to make soldiers for Zarkon, Throk, at the moment, believes he's gay, since he's never found any female he's interested in.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Enemies of the Empire, mostly. Lotor and his crew...

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
5 1/2, really...

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
He loves sex since it feels good and is relaxing. Topping, bottoming, whatever, so long as it feels good and leaves him breathless. He's almost always dominant though, no matter which position he ends up in.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
He's turned on by causing pain to others. He likes scratching and biting at his sexual partner and breath play. Rough sex and being fucked until he can't walk straight is also A+ in his book. Turn-offs would be overly gentle sex and bathroom things. While it's not really a sexual habit, it is a bedroom habit, so... Have shoes on in his fucking bed and he'll turn your entrails into party streamers and hang them above his door.
