THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

Hi hi! I play Fish, a D&D 5e OC made with the Planeshift Zendikar book.

[notblayde]

ok this is a lil intrusive but i AM curious -

Is Fish smooth or scaly?

[freshtilapia]

"Very smooth, darling ;D"

Though Fish has a lot of fish-like features, they actually have more in common with dolphins as they're basically a sea-dwelling amphibious mammal.

[notblayde]

So you're saying they're warm, too 👀

[freshtilapia]

“Very warm, darling ;)”

[freshtilapia]

Also I totally forgot to ask a question right back lol!
I’ll be just as invasive hahaha
What physical trait is Matt proud of?

[notblayde]

Oh, that's a good question. I'm going to say either his eyes or his lips.

Is there a reason Fish goes by Fish?

[freshtilapia]

Oooooh nice~

Well, Fish goes by Fish because it makes life easier for them. They’re currently in this weird space where they aren’t totally sure of their identity? When Fish was starting out as a tavern entertainer close to their home village, they were called “Miss Fish”. After leaving their family, they changed their performer name to reflect the whole departure from their previous image. But because some people felt uncomfortable with such a name, they started going “oh, just call me Fish” just to make it all easier XD

It’s a long convoluted thing but, Fish has a real name. They just... are more used to introducing themselves as Fish.

What D&D class?

[freshtilapia]

The most fabulous of classes, a ✨Bard✨ from the College of ✨Glamour✨ (Xanathar’s Guide to Everything)

[albionchanged]

You know, from the number of musically-inclined characters that are here already, I swear we have enough to start a band.

[freshtilapia]

Not totally sure if Fish could be a band person but lmao I certainly have been noticing all the musically inclined characters!

[albionchanged]

S'okay, Esme has no idea how bands work either. It's a fun thought though. =)

[freshtilapia]

So Esme is musically inclined too? Clearly they ought to meet for that alone!

[albionchanged]

He is. The type of changeling he is is naturally gifted with music. And yes! Does she both play and sing?

[freshtilapia]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice ✨
Fish plays and sings. But they’re also an acrobat/dancer.
What does Esme do?

[albionchanged]

He does both...and is coincidentally a very comfortable in high/precarious places.

[freshtilapia]

Looks like Fish has someone new to check out then. I’ll fling Fish at him when I have the time! 👀
What kind of plans do you have for Esme?

[albionchanged]

\o/

I'm just looking for new CR with him for now. Mostly positive but also maybe some bad influences down the line. Esme tends to get attached easily to people who are nice to him, so some interesting things could come of it, you know?

[freshtilapia]

....................... Fish may or may not be a bad influence.

[albionchanged]

One of his party members was a member of a gang and a forger. I'm sure it's fiiiiine~

[freshtilapia]

Fun times lmaooooo

[albionchanged]

The best times! We're all doomed!

[chainlinks]

Is this a true representation of bards I mean I need to know why you picked the name Fish.

[freshtilapia]

Oh hell yes that is ACCURATE lol. I love that series.
Also, the name is genuinely a joke at first?? I was obsessed with Drag Race when I was putting together my first D&D character and when I saw that my DM allowed races from some of the MtG Planeshift books (including 2 types of merfolk), I was like “oooooooooooh I AM GOING TO MAKE A FISH AND SHE WILL BE THE FISHIEST QUEEN.”

Since I had like over a month to think about the character, I kept referring to them as “Fish” until the actual day we started playing. Then I tried to use their performer name or their real name. Everyone was like ??? when Fish decided “ok I’m not in drag, you can call me by my real name.”

And so they went “ok you know what, let’s make it less confusing, you can all call me Fish because that’s what I am, darlings!”
