17.) What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?
METICULOUSLY NEAT. Mess and disorganization drives Thielo absolutely bonkers. His room is never short of anything but emaculate, and the same of course applies to his work space. It's his sanctuary as much as his bed and bath.
18.) Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.)
Thielo always had servants cooking for him, and he has a really refined palette with a sensitivity to picking up poor quality ingredients. But he can't cook, and he fucking sucks at it. He gets too frustrated trying to learn properly, because he's impatient, so he mostly just spitroasts monsters he knows are edible while on the run. He's great at memorizing ingredients for recipes, though. He'll never forget the make of his favorite homey Garlean dishes.
19.) What’s your character’s preferred means of travel?
Anything but chocobo. Eugh.
20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?
HIS OWN HOMOSEXUALITY, TO THE POINT WHERE HE'S A VIRGIN. Specifically, he is super fucked up about touching dicks. No matter how bad he might want to, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it, and he'd be overcome with overwhelming dread and anxiety + would probably bail on his hook-up. Also, he fears the sexuality of men in general.
21.) How does your character feel about other races, beastmen, or even the other city-states?
Thielo basically thinks all of the beastmen are primitive people. Stupid animals, honestly. He's heard that the Ixali are pretty technologically advanced, so they're the smartest, but he's also seen some pretty clever birds. Clever birds, who, ultimately, are stupider than Garleans.
Hyurs: Thielo thinks that midlanders are lame and unremarkable. He thinks highlanders are really hot (physically of course, but he also loves their "barbaric culture"), and really stupid--he objectifies them, and finds them exotic. Cuz Thielo's gross.
Miqo'te: Disgusting. >:c
Elezen: Willowy and eerie, Thielo kind of digs their look. He also thinks their snobbish elitism is relateable and amusing both. He of course thinks that ultimately, despite their intelligence and practicality as a race, their tunnel-visioned holy hoo-ha is going to land them underneath the crushing force of Garlemald's heel. So, stupid in their own way. RIP so sad
Roegadyn: Thielo thinks the Seawolves are HILARIOUS. All the ones he's met were completely unabashed in their thoughts (at least the men), and prone to brawling to boot. Thielo's taken on a few out, amped up by their energy--and while he's had some wins, he's definitely had his ass handed to him. Even though they're stupid, as far as he's concerned (with some exceptions, such as their handsome Limsa governer, but he thinks women in general tend to be more composed than men), he respects their brutish rawness. As for Hellsguards, he doesn't know a lot about them. He has an impression they're more noble than their bluer counterparts, and perhaps more intelligent as a simple result of their culture--but he's not totally sure, cuz he hasn't met many. He secretly thinks their noses are cute, and it pisses him off. Overall, his impression is pretty positive, cuz he's all about people who are smart, and/or can drink and throw down.
Lalafell: INFANTILE LOOKING DEMONS FROM HELL. Thielo doesn't trust Lalafell. They're too sneaky, and control too much commerce. How the hell hadn't these people been eaten into inexistence by piestes? But at the same time, Thielo really respects and admires their control of wealth and political influence despite being squishy potatos with legs. He romantasizes the corruption of Ul'dah, and relates to it in a kind of power fantasy sort of way.
Au Ra: THIELO WOULD HAVE AN IMPRESSION ABOUT THEM GIVEN WHERE HE'S FROM BUT WOW I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SO THIS IS A FUCKING *PLACEHOLDER*
22.) If your character could time travel, where would they go?
The Allagan era. He'd peep all that technology and fucked up genetic experimentation. Now that shit is fucking cool.
23.) Is your character superstitious?
NOPE. He's not even religious--but he pretends he worships Nald'thal while he pretends to be Eorzean. I guess he thinks the world will explode if he touches a dick though, or something.
24.) What might your character’s ideal romantic partner be?
Someone HUGE and MANLY, who isn't afraid to get physical to put Thielo in his place. Someone patient with his shitty personality, but combative and challenging. And exclusively a bottom....... Despite his issues with his sexuality and his general ornery, bitter ass, Thielo does daydream of romance. But he makes himself sick with it.
Also, someone who could be patient with his copious and would-be time consuming sexual hurdles--he's not confident people like that currently exist, which further discourages him.
OH ALSO A SUPER FLY BOOTY WOULD B NICE
25.) Describe your character’s hands. Are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby?
Long fingers, pretty calloused. His hands are kind of fucked up, because while he has horma, Thielo likes the feeling of using his fists when fighting. Lots of scarring on his knuckles and fingers, and callouses/knicks on his knuckles, as well as callouses on his palms (from gripping horma). His skin also probably looks dry on his hands.
26.) Second day of favorites! Favorite comfort food, favorite vice, favorite outfit, favorite hot drink, favorite time of year, and favorite holiday.
Favorite comfort food: Lemon orzo soup, lamb stew, brandy with a scoop of ice-cream in it
Favorite vice: ALCOHOL!! And punching?
Favorite outfit: White linen shirt with gryffonskin pants (can't remember what they're called exactly) and gladiator style boots. He doesn't do jewelry, besides rings. Alternatively: a nice suit.
Favorite hot drink: Very chocolately hot chocolate with a good serving of liquor in it. A traditional drink in his household, meaning that Thielo concocted it in hazy despair as a teenager when he crept into the kitchen in secret.
Favorite time of year: Fall/winter.
Favorite holiday: Thielo doesn't actually care for holidays, but he'll be there for the alcohol and stupid outfits. Wait, maybe his nameday. Narcissistic.
27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them.
Anything before his current point in life would be too fucking depressing, so here's a song that sums up Thielo's personality pretty well both in sound and lyrics.
28.) If your character’s life was a genre, what would it be?
Action/drama
29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne?
Yes. Thielo smells like biting citrus; he treats his skin with lemon.
30.) How does your character feel about magic?
It fascinates him, and makes him a little frustrated. He wishes he could use it, but it's not such a strong desire that he'd go out of his way to try to replicate it with magitek/hunt for magitek weapons. Kind of a passing fancy. He does respect mages, though, and he wonders what it feels like to use it.
31.) How did the calamity affect their life?
It didn't. Somehow. Just another trial for the Empire, eventually overcome. :)
32.) And finally: Write a letter to your character, from yourself.
Please indulge in therapy seriously if you ever wanna touch a dick. #notallmen are horrible. Learn healthy coping mechanisms. Smoke weed, probably. I'm bad at letters.
