Character Name(s): Grace (line of Calliope) Series: Stray Gods Wiki Link: Here
THE GOOD
How far would they go to accomplish their goals or fulfill their desires? Do they have lines they wouldn't cross? Grace is willing to go pretty far, and has definitely broken rules when she thinks it's appropriate, including lying, breaking and entering, allying with people who may be dangerous, and, of course, leading a coop against the current leader of the Idols, Athena. That said, Grace is reluctant to do anything that would truly hurt someone. Hurt their feelings or make them mad at her, maybe, but those are things people can come back from. Grace isn't willing to maim or kill - that's not her style.
What is something they treasure? Grace greatly treasures her memories - not just those she has of her own life but those she is slowly regaining from Calliope. Grace has accepted her new life as an Idol, and with that she has accepted Calliope's goals as her own. For this reason, Calliope's memories and understanding of their larger Idol family are very important to Grace.
What do they consider to be their best or most positive qualities? Grace acknowledges that initially her singing voice was really about the only thing she had going for her; she didn't have a lot of other skills, so making it as a singer was really the only way to go.
More recently Grace has come to appreciate her own problem solving skills and ability to direct a conversation or situation to her own ends. It saved her life when she was trying to escape her murder trial and it's served her well as she works to reintegrate the Idols into human society.
What is this character's best memory? Any of her memories of Freddie, bittersweet as they are. She especially treasures the few minutes she was able to spend with Freddie in the Underworld - though it's also sad to think of that moment, she was able to share her true feelings of love with her best friend and say goodbye.
Is there anyone they have highly positive feelings towards? Her best friend Freddie is the obvious first thought in Grace's mind. Freddie was there for her through all her grade school years and her early adulthood, sharing trials and tribulations, having her back through thick and thin. Freddie was the person Grace turned to any time she needed help, and the person she would gladly go to hell and back for (she literally did do that).
Apollo is another great friend of Grace's; he helped her when she needed it most, and even if he technically lied to her, she understands why he did it and forgives him. Apollo has been the person she's leaned on as she's lost Freddie, and he's been the one most helpful in her transition to her new life. She may like to tease him about his fear of ringtones and inability to button his shirt, but she loves Apollo.
THE BAD
What could or would tempt your character to compromise their principles? A serious threat against a friend's life could prompt Grace to compromise her principles, if she can't see any other way out of the situation. She has to feel particularly boxed in for this to happen, though.
Grace is also willing to step aside if she truly doesn't believe the decision isn't hers to make, even if it does go against her principles. She doesn't agree with Aphrodite's method of passing her Eidolon on when her traumatic memories become too great, but she ultimately leaves the choice up to Aphrodite because she doesn't believe it's right to interfere.
What do they desire above all else? A purpose, and direction. Grace's entire story is about her struggles with learning what she wants to do with her life, and the way she doesn't feel like she has any sort of purpose or direction until she meets her new family, the Idols. Without them, Grace is adrift again, and once more on the hunt for a new purpose in a new world.
What are their biggest fear and/or insecurities? Grace fears that she won't find a purpose, and her life will end up not amounting to much.
Is there anyone they have highly negative feelings towards? Athena, mainly because Athena tried to kill her. She understands Athena's reasonings, but that doesn't mean she has to like it.
THE ET CETERA
What kinds of gifts does your character like? Food, anything artistic/handmade, weird little souvenirs, anything with the bi flag on it.
What item(s) would your character be pleased to receive as a reward? Clothing, anything that can help her problem solve, food, alcohol.
What item(s) would your character never ask for, but you, the player, would want to give them? Weapons mainly.
OOC, what are your goals with this character? What would you enjoy seeing them getting involved in or would enjoy as a potential character arc? I really want to play with the cultier side of Zenith - even though Grace may generally agree with the idea of moving forward rather than trying to regain what's lost, she won't like the blind devotion to Yima. There is also the obvious issue that if she aligns with Zenith, she's giving up any chance to bring her world and its people back.
