So, this thought occurred to be the other day. We all have monsters here. And of course, we've developed them as suitably monstrous, exaggerated characters. But what if they weren't so monstrous? What if they were human? Plain ol', nothing-special-about-'em humans.
What would they be like?
I've though mine through plenty.
-
Ketos would be a grizzled old guy who can't be wrong (c'mon, you know the type...). He'd probably hang out at the beach twenty-four seven, fruitlessly fishing, yet refusing to move his line out of the way of swimmers. He'd be the grumpy bastard that parents would shoo their kids away from.
Quetzar would be a lawyer, I think. He's be in the criminal justice system for sure, and a cop or lab tech is too 'dirty' for his cool, noble denouement. So, layer it is! It's fitting. He could wear a slick suit and "burn" criminals publicly and openly with his words.
Drakia would be a workaholic. Asocial and determined, not necessarily cold, but aloof enough to put people off. She'd do just about anything to advance her career and provide for her kids. Single mom, too. Probably bitter/disinterested in men. Her outfits would be just as snazzy as Quetzar's, although she wouldn't hesitate to dress best for whatever the occasion is. Almost like social camouflage.
Fenris would be a blunt, shameless nymphomaniac. Gender, looks, and even species wouldn't matter to her as long as she got a good roll in the hay from whatever she's pursuing/is pursuing her. She'd be into ALL the '-ality's and '-philia's.
Rust' would be ethnic (Hispanic or Middle Eastern maybe...) and quite vocal about it, as well as about how his race/culture/whatever is repressed and assaulted by society. He'd be an asshole, but a smart one. Arc would be his huge, silent companion of identical/similar skin tone that everyone is intimidated by, but no one is quite sure why. Everyone wants him on their sports team though.
Pouh would be a jackass teenager. The kind that constantly cusses and shrugs off responsibility. The kind that disappears all day and comes back covered in scraps and bruises and burns, and then blows you off when you show concern. He'd talk about and ogle girls a lot, but would never get anywhere with one. Acts tough, but secretly has a soft spot for helping out 'the little guy.' Basically, a bully to bullies.
Plume I always equate to a dog, but, as a human, he'd be the one little kid that is constantly moving and loves to imitate movies and shows. He'd definitely get in trouble a lot for karate chopping his dad in the balls, although he's a sweet kid at heart. Just really rambunctious.
Sid is human enough.
Photon was a tricky one, but I think he'd be a wealthy humanitarian. He's well meaning, but also adamant and unrelenting in his views. Likes everyone and everything to play by his rules, and they are generally fair. Would be a polarizing figure, praises by some, mocked by others. Would stay above making any comments of his intentions though, instead allowing his actions to speak. Would donate much of his fortunate, but constantly have enough to live well and continue his success. A hands on kind of guy that attends all meetings himself and personally works in the social advancement projects he starts for poor areas/nations. Rather merciless to those who try to cross him/do wrong. Pretty strongly religious, but in a firm, 'I won't be swayed' way, not an obnoxious, pushy way. Would definitely have dealing with Quetzar, whether they be friendly or stand-offish. Probably both.
Subsy would be the Zangief Kid.
