PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE MEME
(AKA The Stuff-Your-Character-Might-Totally-Know-About-Mine Meme)

PREMISE;

Have you ever been threading with a character you have CR with only to bring up a topic that realistically would have been discussed back when they were getting to know each other but now you're struggling to come up with an excuse for why they haven't brought it up until now???

We RPers are a busy folk, and let's face it, we don't always log out our characters' more mundane conversations, and there's only so many times you can thread "hello, I'm A-kun, nice to meet you" before it gets a bit stale. That's what handwaving is for. But unlike the Handwaved CR Meme where we discuss activities and such going on behind the scenes... this is about info.

Audentes is not a big team, there's max 80 people/robots/vampires/elves/merpeople/demons/idk and even if we haven't actively gotten CR with everyone, all the characters probably recognize most members by sight and have likely exchanged at least cursory words unless they're shut-ins or brooding silent types. Not to mention word of mouth from other characters in passing people might have picked up, let alone the rumor mill. Which is where this meme comes in!

"RULES";

- post information that your character makes public about themselves and you are okay with people assuming their characters know/have heard about, whether its through the network posts, the grapevine, or just by casual unthreaded conversations in the Oska kitchen
- this can obviously be as long or as short as you want, depending on how open your character is about themselves
- discuss here or use this knowledge in game to as a springboard for different conversations, deeper CR, or ???
- idk this is my first meme post, have fun

[dishearten]

graham is still a participant in all her classes for anyone else that participates!!

Zenyatta Tekhartha

[iomnic]

• A robot, specifically, an Omnic (like, most of the time. He's doing a bit of a human thing right now).
• Completely self-aware A.I.
• He hardly uses "Tekhartha" but it's not like it's a secret. It's closer to his surname.
• 20 years old
• Previously a member of the "Shambali" which are a religious group who believe in a religion based around "the Iris."
• No longer with the Shambali, but still a monk, and still considers himself a teacher of others.
• A C C E P T I N G N E W S T U D E N T S
• Knows quite a bit of martial arts.
• Because he's very much not a pacifist. If you think "oh, monk, so you're pacifist," he will definitely correct you.
• Can heal people, as long as he's in omnic form.

[pummelling]

pacifists more like paciFISTS

Alice Liddell

[digophelia]

- Lame but if you know the book or movie, yes Alice is that Alice
- Was orphaned at an early age
- Hates fire and cannot stand to be around even candles
- Alice is a big stickler about wasting food and really likes to eat food. Food is great
- On the above, yeah, Alice is malnourished and looks like she can eat more
- Is really short thanks to being malnourished, she's about 4'9" (headcanon based on Victorian women being 5")
- Alice has a really big knife and isn't afraid to use it. Also hobby horse.
- Some may know that Alice actually killed a number of guards when Gintoki was captured
- Really loves fluffy animals and will still follow them
- Super protective of children
- Can be pretty scary when you make her mad
- She taught herself how to play the lute in between missions
- Actually a very talented artist
- Alice doesn't disclose much of her past other than she's from England (specifically Whitechapel, London) and she was orphaned
- And a big one: Alice hides her psychosis pretty damn well, so most will never know Alice hallucinates on a daily basis. She has learned to manage herself
- Has really no desire to return to her world
- Isn't really fond of sweets anymore

[dishearten]

I don't think he's made the Alice in wonderland connection but I would like him to... not that they'd ever talk about it lbr

if she likes floofs she is welcome to have made good friends w brother. He loves attention.

Kisuke Urahara

[predomination]

/weeps openly there's so much stuff he doesn't make public. what the hell.

⚛ From Karakura Town, Japan in 2001
⚛ Owns a general store that sells candy and other goods.
⚛ One of the legal guardians to two children (Jinta and Ururu)
⚛ Really, really likes cats. And, in fact, has one back home**
⚛ Jack-of-all-trades scientist, though his major discipline is particle physics and medicine.
⚛ Uses a type of "magic" called kido that ranges from actual offensive spells to binding spells to healing, though he rarely uses the healing because there are other healers around.
⚛ The cane he carries with him (that he clearly doesn't use for walking purposes) has a blade inside it, which can transform into a sword at a spoken command. (the latter is probably mostly hearsay, but enough have seen it at this point to warrant including it)
⚛ Offers training services with the caveat that he is an extremely tough teacher.
⚛ Forgets to sleep and eat often, because he's always researching or doing experiments. Can sometimes be found in the library passed out and drooling on the books because he's terrible.
⚛ Always eager to help with projects, usually because he wants a favor or because he has a vested interest in the subject, but not always (he'll let you know if he wants something in return).
⚛ Always, always dresses like that. Including the hat. The hat does not come off unless you force it.
⚛ Extremely capable in combat, even if he doesn't make a habit of showing it. After the battle at the end of Perdition's Rest, it's safe to assume A LOT of people have seen him fight.
⚛ Chronic caffeine addict. Loves coffee and tea. And sweets.
⚛ Actually cooperative towards ALASTAIR's goals, even if he doesn't trust the organization, itself.

** = blatant lie

Peridot

[slapfight]

★ Certified kindergartner and technician.
★ Kindergarten doesn't mean what you think it means.
★ A Peridot from the gem Homeworld, meaning there's more nearly identical to her.
★ Formerly served under Yellow Diamond
★ Currently a renegade and the leader* of the Crystal Gems.
★ Is still learning about human culture.
★ Loves a teen drama series called Camp Pining Hearts. And ships yaoi.
★ Knows Steven and Pearl, if anyone knew them while they were here. She talks about Steven ALL THE DAMN TIME.
★ Calls art "meepmorp" and enjoys making abstract art out of things she finds around the village and leaving it lying around to make it more presentable.
★ Her planet used to colonize and destroy other planets for their resources, and she used this to help the Qorral turn away from their mining. She is very proud of this fact.
★ Can manipulate metal like a magnet.

* = blatant aggrandizing because no one is here to correct her.

[dishearten]

Graham knew Steven though I don't know if he knew him well enough to connect the two. Pearl tho he might have if you want!

I hope she talks to him about camp pining hearts

Ana Ramir

[heavyhitter]

• She's from ~the future~ (year 256 AC, which is like ~300 years ahead of our modern day)
  
• She is Italian!! Sort of. Space Italian, so, not born on Earth. She's from a planet Italy colonized.
  
• She knows a bunch of languages (mainly Spanish, German, French, obviously Italian, bits of other European languages, and scifi stuff like "Earth Standard") and would definitely have asked to learn some stuff from anyone that knows a language new to her.
  
• She is strong. Very very strong, superhero level strong. Anyone else claiming to be strong might have been challenged to an arm wrestling contest. (I put her at like, "slightly below Superman" levels.)
  
• She's dating Sigma and they're obnoxiously obvious about it.
  
• She is pretty much always wearing the studded leather jacket and thinks she looks really cool.
  
• You have probably never seen her not wearing vivid red lipstick.
  
• She doodles stupid little things often, usually short fat little versions of the people around her with >:3 faces

[steler]

does ramir speak dutch asking for a friend

Fiona

[cachemoney]

• Profession: Vault Hunter, which is basically a treasure hunter. Vault Hunters are considered equal parts badass and dangerous, and are pretty much only the elite of the elite.


• Despite this glamorous job, she knows quite a lot of stuff about running cons, pickpocketing, lying, etc. Weird!


• She is from a planet called Pandora, which is a nearly-inhospitable shit-hole with murderous flora and fauna, with a majority of its citizens either being criminally insane or just criminals. Fiona's childhood was not great but she doesn't go into detail unless it comes up, so u gotta ask.


• She is from sometime nebulously in the future (canon is unclear but it's either 2875 or sometime during the 56th century??? Just handwave that she says the correct thing)


• She plays her morals pretty fast and loose, so don't expect her opinions to be predictable.


• She has a habit of constantly mouthing off and making smart remarks.


• She likes hats and dresses like a steampunk cowboy pirate.

Knock Out

[paintjobs]

• He's a giant 20-foot robot.
  
• He's a doctor. Of robots, specifically. A robot doctor.
  
• Which means he's super good with mechanics and with science in general, and thinks human technology is primitive.
  
• He's currently stuck human, and it is the worst.
  
• Anyone who's talked to him 1) at the right time or 2) slightly more than casually would also know he can turn into a flashy red car; he's not secretive about transforming back and forth as needed. (AS LONG AS HE'S NOT STUCK HUMAN)
  
• Also for anyone who's talked to him slightly more than casually: he's super, super old. Like 4 million years old.
  
• Yes, he knows exactly how beautiful he is, thank you.
  
• It's also worth noting that his voice is deep and inappropriately sensual. I'm not just abusing the italics, I promise.

[dishearten]

I can't hear that voice w/out thinking Timmy turners dad

I assume Peter is aware that he's a giant car after working on the agrecite thing and I believe he is a Fan.

Keats

[headlining]

✫ He's a journalist and head of the editorial department at an obscure occult magazine called Unknown Realms.
✫ He's Irish. Has kind of a weird vaguely English accent though.
✫ He's 27 years old but he acts like he's 17 sometimes.
✫ Weirdly more buff than you think - somehow has well-defined muscles even though he's a bookworm nerd.
✫ Is familiar with new technology but oddly feels comfortable with older stuff, like tape recorders and typewriters.
✫ Absolutely fluent in sarcasm and deadpan snark.
✫ Has a huge soft spot for kids.
✫ Is a romantic at heart and blushes over romantic stories despite him claiming he doesn't.
✫ Dresses weirdly. He kind of likes to dress in a weird combination of a sharp suit and adventurer's gear. He seems to think he looks cool.
✫ Glasses are so shiny and anime they might temporarily blind people sometimes.
✫ Doesn't believe in magic and will naturally assume he's going insane or hallucinating when anything out of the ordinary happens. (He's getting better about it, though.)
✫ Has magical soul-related powers so he's a giant hypocrite.
✫ He may look like a jerk, but on the inside he's a nice person, and further on the inside he's a BIGGER JERK.

Mettaton

[ex_mettacrusher33]

THE one and only robotic celebrity from the Underground!!

Movies! Music!! Television!!!! Stage-shows!! He's done it all!!!!!

Built by the AMAZING DOCTOR ALPHYS with an artificial SOUL* and therefore entirely self-aware!

He fucking loves humans, holy shit.

And pink. It's bright and fun, like him.

Comes in two forms: vending machine on a unicycle and legendary (all legs no dairy)

Have you seen his legs???

Legs.

Almost always posing.

Or doing something ridiculous.

Did you remember that he's a celebrity?

Endless pet-names, darling.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaates anime.

Refuses to outwardly take things seriously.

Ridiculously self-absorbed.

HOW COULD I FORGET he's one of only two characters to have an actual voiced line in the entire game
and it's to go "yeah~" when you hit him.

*this is horseshit, but hell if he's ever going to say otherwise.

rhys's pieces

[dbag]

• Lived/worked on a space station. He was a code monkey.
  
  
• Is a space WASP?? He probably comes from whatever the WASPiest planet in the galaxy is.
  
  
• Now lives on the garbage fire planet Pandora, where dreams go to die and the cannibals are aplenty.
  
  
• Is totes a CEO y'all, don't worry about the fact that he has no employees and stole the rights to the company.
  
  
• Is from the year 2875, PROBABLY, Borderlands is flippy-floppy but I'm going with that one.

• Also he has a robotic eye that can scan you.
  
  
• He dresses fairly questionably, he likes Dat Asymmetry.

[steler]

Kaz Brekker

[steler]

unless otherwise noted, you're safe to assume you heard this from either kaz or jesper

♠ from a city called ketterdam specifically the Bad Part of Town called the Barrel
♠ nicknames he's earned back home are dirtyhands and bastard of the barrel
♠ is a gang boss (not technically 100% true but he wouldn't correct it)
♠ worked on a really big impressive heist where he stole a dude from a crazy prison called the ice court with the help of five other people (this has been told on the network a couple times at this point so feel free to even say you've just seen it in passing; jesper's telling of this story talks in colorful detail about how kaz threw up lockpicks)
♠ does a lot of bounties
♠ in fact, seems to be good at Getting Stuff Done, for a price ($$$)
♠ always wears gloves. always.
♠ pretty much always wears black (or as much of it as possible)
♠ pulled the bandit con back in predition's rest
♠ has a limp, walks with a cane
♠ can be very violent if he wants to be

[endeudado]

don't forget the part where he shanked a guy for touching him

don't touch kaz

Hanzo Shimada

[whatshimadayou]

• He almost killed his brother.
• Although Hanzo doesn't announce it openly, his brother is Genji.
• Although he doesn't announce it, it's not a secret that he's dating McCree.
• His left arm is covered in dragon tattoos and he summons spirit dragons with it. Somehow.
• Prefers to use a bow and arrow. Absolutely will not use a sword.
• It is now public knowledge that he loves puns.
• Just had his Significant Haircut and his ears pierced.

[moneyballer]

his ears are pierced?????

Pannacotta Fugo

[unholey]

☠ Yes, his first name is Pannacotta. Yes, he's aware it's a kind of pudding. No, he'd really rather you call him by his surname.
☠ Italian! Specifically from Naples, although if asked he'll mention briefly living in Milan and Bologna. His accent is very light, though, almost unnoticeable unless you're listening for it.
☠ Claims to have dropped out of school because he didn't get along with his teachers and currently works as an accountant. Can in fact do fancy mathematics on the fly, so maybe that's legit?
☠ Pretty glued to the hip with Giorno. If asked, Fugo will say they're friends from home. They share a room.
☠ Fugo has his own room, but he only keeps books there. It's always locked, except for when he's in it-- then he leaves the door wide open.
☠ Very close-mouthed about his personal life otherwise. Never brings up his family or mentions any friends other than Giorno.
☠ Can only rarely be spotted in the kitchen/dining hall and, when he is, always looks kind of queasy. If pressed about it, he'll admit that he's recovering from an injury to his throat that fucked with his sense of taste/smell.
☠ On that note, is pretty underweight and looks perpetually exhausted. He drinks a bunch of coffee (shots of espresso) in the morning and early afternoon, but never later in the evening. Apparently there is some sort of (unfair) coffee ban.
☠ extremely opinionated about coffee and pizza. like, holy shit, do not talk to him about these things
☠ full of bitterness and spite for the snow and winter weather
☠ Has a bunch of restless fidgeting habits, which usually boil down to almost always having something to fiddle with in his hands.
☠ strawberries are the best fruit and any other opinions are objectively wrong
☠ Is not actually wearing the holey suit (because it's too cold) but he does always have his goofy dangly strawberry earrings in. Wears the purple version of the uniform instead.
☠ Is a great big neat freak. Hates messes and will 100% clean them up if he finds them in public areas.

[headlining]

thanks araki for making vento aureo and naming every other person after food and making me hungry

does all his clothing have swiss cheese holes though

Achilles

[heelies]

For characters who have interacted with him minimally or seen him from afar:

- HE IS ACHILLES, SON OF PELEUS
- Less frequently alluded to, but his mother is a (minor) goddess
- He may actually be The Achilles? (That guy with the heel problems?)
- You may have seen him at the Nondenominational Winter Ball pouring out punch and praying to gods
- You probably recognize him as the over-dramatic guy who publicly called out Koltira a little while back
- A while back (Zeta-12, Perdition's Rest pre-fire) he was frequently seen in the company of Olivia...
- But lately he is often seen in the company of Patroclus
- He is a renowned warrior of the Achaeans (whoever they are...or was it the Argives? The Danaans...? Hmm...)
- He has resumed not wearing pants 90% of the time, because he acquired snazzy new blanket clothes
- This guy is so long-winded...what is he saying...
- Additional general information!

For characters who know him better:

- He is the prince of Phthia
- His dearest companion from home, who used to be dead, is now here! (NOTE: the full extent of their relationship is NOT common knowledge...your character would know only if they were privy to a certain dramatic episode that unfolded, or if they have a solid grasp of the classics)
- He is booty-blasted about being disregarded by a large swath of the crew >8(
- Prior to his service with ALASTAIR, he fought for nearly 10 years in Troy (or was it Ilios...? Dardanus' land...?)
- Not to be trifled with when he has got a spear in hand
- He is skilled in medicine (herbal remedies, simple surgery), which he learned from a centaur named Chiron
- He plays the lyre (and has been teaching himself the pan flute too)
- He is now learning how to read, thanks to Sieglinde
- He has been with Audentes since the beginning of mission Nalawi
- Sigma, SON OF KLIM, is his student in the arts of war AKA Stabbing Things 101
- HE HAS A SON ACTUALLY...whom he sometimes talks about... (never the baby mama though...sounds like there could be some juicy gossip there...)

God this cold is destroying me...I've likely forgotten all sorts of odds and ends, but there you go!

Re: Achilles

[dishearten]

Ramir told Pete Achilles was around and now I want them to meet lmao. It'll be a perfect disaster but I'm pretty sure Pete will like him!!!!

Shizuo Heiwajima

[longtempered]

From Tokyo, Ikebukuro specifically, in modern-day Japan circa like 2010? 2012??? idk i gotta crunch the numbers again

Always wearing the same kind of bartender suit. Always. Every day, without fail.

Actually owns three sets of identical bartender suits, but honestly it can be alarmingly easy to assume he's wearing just the one all the time, it's terrible

Is not actually a bartender despite this, neither here nor for years back home. Still pretty good at mixing drinks though???

Instead he was currently a debt collector/bodyguard combo for a dating website's company

Oh yeah he's always wearing those dumb blue shades too, even indoors and at night. Awful

Smoking almost all the time. You've probably spotted him around Oska at various times of day, smoking and chilling on the balconies or outside in the courtyard

Very Strong. Has probably broken or ripped up things that a normal person should not be breaking or ripping if you've spotted him during a fight in any capacity

Can get Very Angry very quickly as well, usually where a fight being picked is concerned. His temper is extremely short in general even outside that, though he's improved slightly in the different atmosphere of Audentes

Literally built like a brick wall, somehow, despite not actually looking like it at all. Cannot feel pain either. Apparently reached this state by horribly injuring himself trying to repeatedly throw ridiculously heavy objects in his angry youth

Doesn't use the network much; usage has dropped even more ever since the last weeks of Perdition's Rest, where the network activity got so ridiculous at one point that he outright ignored his jewelry just so he wouldn't have to deal with reading it all (aka my excuse for dying and tagging nothing during finals week LMAO). He's gradually starting to look at it a bit more again

Currently undergoing general combat training with Haise, with a side of (attempted) anger management and, most recently, stop sign wielding

Really really likes sweets. Will gladly accept and immediately eat any candy or treats you might throw at him. Dumps truly egregious amounts of sugar in his coffee, if you've ever seen him pouring himself some in the kitchens

Twisted Fate

[fateality]

♠ Used to be a pirate.
♠ Comes from a world called Runeterra.
♠ Uses magic cards in some way, but has not been overly specific to the public.
♠ He can disguise his appearance somehow. He hasn't explained the method openly.
♠ Considering that Koltira now publicly calls him Tobias, it can definitely be inferred that Twisted Fate is not his birth name.
♠ He likes to gamble, and still considers himself a thief.
♠ He loves to dress nicely, and abhors the concept of camping/getting filthy.
♠ Twisted Fate has admitted openly that his cards can tell him when he's in danger or if someone means him harm.
♠ Is definitely dating Koltira and has not been particularly shy about it.
♠ Likes to give people nicknames.
♠ Loves money. Need it, want it, gotta have it.
♠ Can dance rather gracefully.

[steler]

his mom didn't name him twisted fate?! say it isnt so

Sakura Kinomoto l Cardcaptor Sakura

[keystaff]

- 13 years old.
- Has Magical Cards - here for reference.
- Can heal, so if any recruits get injured, she can help out in that regard.
- Has two magical Guardians, one a soft toy/winged lion and the other has huge wings and a human disguise.
- Family of older brother and father.
- Probably told most everyone of Tomoyo, her best friend, and Syaoran, her now boyfriend at some point.
- From 'modern' time era, a town called Tomoeda in Japan.
- With ALASTAIR, has a (now not so much a cub) lion who she named after one of her Guardians in canon - Keroberos. (She usually calls canon Keroberos 'Kero-chan' because of the cute soft toy look he initially has when she meets him.)
- Likes to help. Will often do so even at the point where she exhausts herself if she sees others in need.
- ALASTAIR wise she has kind of been taken in somewhat with Graham, not in the constantly living together sort of pseudo adoption but. Pretty much, he's often checking up on her and all, so others are free to note that.

Re: Sakura Kinomoto l Cardcaptor Sakura

[dishearten]

They probably eat a lot of meals together and hang out and it's adorable that really should be common knowledge

dippity dop

[twinpeak]

what a cute meme

A normal kid from modern day California (specifically 2012)! Though he had been having the wildest summer vacay ever in bumfuck nowhere a rural town called Gravity Falls in Oregon. This is where he was when sucked into this Alastair gig.

The biggest, most enthusiastic fan of the supernatural and overall abnormal things you will ever meet.

Has actually come across all sorts of weird spoopy/magical/generally wtf things and events while in aforementioned rural town.

That old, worn, red journal he carries around everywhere is his child. No, his life. Friends of his have most likely seen the contents within, unless that's something anyone would rather thread out or... something. He just gets very excited about this book, okay.

LOVES ADVENTURE. The honeymoon stage of being in Alastair has kinda worn off, things aren't as sunny and perfect as they used to be, but let it be known Dipper still loves what they get to do. He won't brush over the bad, but is still pretty eager to mention THEY GET TO TRAVEL THE MULTIVERSE.

A huge damn nerd. He enjoys reading, is really good with math, into the vidya, and tabletop is his favorite game ever. Because he wants to be Just Like His Uncle, Dipper documents his time with Audentes pretty thoroughly, and he doesn't mind sharing notes.

He is a twin! A handful of characters have already met his sister Mabel personally, but she's basically his best friend ever so he's more than likely mentioned her in passing. And he really wishes she was around :[

If a character ever points out his name is weird to his face (as a few already have), he'll probably admit it's just a nickname. You're not getting his real name out of him, though, and is a bit dodgy when it comes to the origin of his nickname (unless he super trusts you)

His clothes may rarely change, but the hat is eternal. The hat is Important.

That weird keysmash of a username does in fact mean something, but he wants to see if you can figure it out first! (there is no deeper meaning to it, it's just fun for him...)

Has been around since Chantes

shit I don't know this is hard, Dipper is kind of open about himself so if anyone is like "hey what about this thing" then sure let's figure that out. I bet I'm gonna remember more later but oh well!!

[feytality]

A BIT OF TRIVIA that is sure to come up at some point (bc I make stupid jokes a lot): The games originally took place in Japan, and the localization changed it to California. This became a lot harder on the localization team as more and more Japanese settings/culture/etc came, so the fandom pokes fun at the poor localization team by calling it "Japanifornia". This Los Angeles has a lot of Japanese elements, weirdly enough! The localization team had an answer for this.

Anyway... she is pretty new so there's not gonna be a huge amount of info floating around, but!!

★ Her hometown is Kurain Village, an old-fashioned Japanese(ish) village waaaaay up in the mountains nearish Los Angeles!! There is barely any technology there.
★ Maya is a spirit medium (in training)!! That means she has E.S.P and can channel the souls of dead people, basically letting them borrow her body.
★ She hasn't started wearing her uniform yet, so she's in her acolyte outfit, and people in AA think that she's very odd looking!! She's been called a hippie and a weirdo for her hairstyle and clothing.
★ She's also the assistant to a defense attorney, Phoenix Wright. She'll totally claim that he's her assistant, though.
★ Her favourite food is burgers. Her second-favourite food is ramen noodles. She claims to have multiple stomachs for different foods.
★ She trains by meditating under freezing cold waterfalls!! But can improvise with ice or shower heads or firehoses..... not always effective.
★ She is American/Japanese!! And I just wanna emphasize she's very small and I encourage using her as an armrest, short jokes, etc.
★ Her favourite TV show is the Steel Samurai, a TV show whose demographic is like, 10 year old boys..... but she's a samurai fanatic in general.
★ She talks a lot, but not really about herself
★ ALSO ANSWERS TO... TWISTED FEY!!11

[fateality]

TWISTED FEY!!!!

IT'S YOUR RIVAL




MAYA FATE

[dokyuu]

🕱 He is a pirate.

🕱 He really fucking loves boats.

🕱 He has a whole island back home.

🕱 And a sea.*

🕱 And a floating fortress.

🕱 Has fire powers he's happy to demonstrate.

🕱 If you talk to him a little more, he'll also probably mention building things. Like boats with legs on them.

🕱 Is also actually a daimyo, but really, he prefers pirate as a job description.

🕱 From late 1500s Japan.**

*ownership of said sea is actually hotly contested.
** except the timeline is exceedingly eccentric, and he doesn't call it Japan.

Other things that are not necessarily 'things that are told' so much as 'easily observable.'

🕱 Definitely missing his left eye.

🕱 Outlandish dress sense that includes neck armor, but no shirt.

🕱 Doesn't wear shoes...

🕱 Basically never takes his left hand out of his pocket. No, there's nothing wrong with it, that's just... what he does. Even when he fights. Because... eccentric pirate?

giorno giovanna

[digiorno]

★ his full legal birth name is giorno giovanna and he is definitely 100% italian. (both of these facts are lies.)
★ he is a student/aspiring businessman from napoli, italy. (the napoli part is true anyway.) he was pulled to audentes in november 2001.
★ fugo is his accountant! it's so nice to have an accountant here in oska. so nice that they're rooming together and fugo is mostly not out of giorno's sight. math is important.
★ he mentions a couple of other friends from home on occasion, mista and trish, but only in very vague terms. his "advisor," polnareff, was here previously (& briefly), although their true connection was never public knowledge.
★ other than this he never mentions friends or family or Anything from home, which is totally normal.
★ he was openly a) protective of civilians and team members in perdition's rest and b) ruthless towards the deemers.
★ he is often pretty femme presenting and not self-conscious about it.
★ he slapped kung jin in the fucking face and it was awesome.
★ he loves late 90s pop and glam rock.
★ he reacts with subtle aversion to unexpected touch.
★ he has a star-shaped birthmark on his shoulder, which people have probably seen on occasion.
★ he's not at all secretive about the fact that he can Literally Make Living Organisms Out Of Nothing. he has, however, kept mum about the ALASTAIR-enforced power cap or any of his more insidious (read: terrifying) powers. mostly he presents as a kid who happens to have the ability to make pretty flowers and bugs.
★ he sure does hang out with kaz and jesper a lot though? weird for a businessman.
★ he spends a lot of time in the squidge park also.
★ he can stick one of his ears all the way into his head. (i'm not making this up? sorry.)
★ he is an egregious flirt.
★ he hoards nonperishable food in his room (which he does with a fair amount of stealth, but someone could have noticed).
★ i am positive i'm forgetting something but c'est la vie
