YOU ARE BEING PERCEIVED BRO (the meme)

Hey! You live here! You exist in this space! You are being PERCEIVED! It’s like a permissions page but goofier and we laugh together about fashion disasters and who chronically spills their protein porridge on their lap.

Fill out this goofy-ass survey! It’s fun if it’s done in-character, but I am not going to lock you in space prison if you don’t.

Name: Silco
Height: 6'
Build: Skinny legend

Distinguishing features: His pure golden soul, and also the giant fuckoff eye scar. He's not actually that old, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell beneath the grey streaks, and busted (nose/teeth/skin/posture/morals). His good eye is a pale sea green.

Wardrobe:

Dressy: Nice collared shirts, trousers; weirdly ornate boots. His ship coat is slightly less Nosferatu than his canon one. Despite the icons, he doesn't have a waistcoat or cravat. Yet.

If for some reason you count, he's missing a sock. One interior coat pocket is full of sand, and another has the laser hair remover tucked into it at like. All times. I'm sure it's for a totally normal reason.

How do you keep your bunk or cabin?

He's stolen the bedding out of an unoccupied bunk, so we're doubling up on blankets here. Suck it, #10.

Otherwise: His bunk is undecorated, and everything is neatly stowed.

Daily routine:

Silco sleeps very little, and very lightly, for several days at a time. He'll wake if you so much as breathe near him. But eventually, he crashes and hibernates straight through. This is the ideal time to draw on his forehead, go through his stuff, or otherwise enjoy a full twenty-four hours of silence from bad grandpa.

Outside of sleep, he spends a few hours a day in the dorms, usually fussing with something on his communicator and listening in on conversation. Inevitably, he wanders off to explore the ship.

An astute observer may notice his temper loosely tracks with any Infirmary visits. One pissy bitch enters, and a much calmer pissy bitch leaves.

Fav hangout spot: The Greenhouse.
Eating habits: Silco eats sparsely, and with apparent disinterest. If you ask for his leftovers, he'll finish them while making direct eye contact.
Product from home you’re missing the most: Foundation and also cigars.

Name: Beyonce Knowles-Carter
Height: fuck off
Build: fuck you
Distinguishing features: I'm the only person behaving like this isn't fucking normal, which it's not.
Wardrobe: LIMITED
How do you keep your bunk or cabin? TEMPORARILY
Daily routine: I HAVE PANIC ATTACKS NOW
Fav hangout spot: IN BED BECAUSE SLEEPING IS LIKE BEING DEAD
Eating habits: I DON'T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT I GET FROM THE DAMN COMPUTER
Product from home you’re missing the most: BASIC LIBERTY

[Okay, let's try this again.]

Name: Volk, it's a nickname. The only people that don't call him that are his parents, though.
Height: I'm always bad at what people consider short in terms of numbers? But he's short for any gender.
Build: Skinny but not in a slender/slim way; skinny in a way where he wears a heavy jacket a lot because otherwise he has plucked-chicken shoulders. Between this and the fondness for hoodies and aura of sullenness, the vibe of "im 17 and my mom brought me here against my will" is strong.
Distinguishing features: Black-painted fingernails, bitten so far down that it looks like it has to be painful. Aforementioned heavy jacket, which you will smell before you see Volk actually enter the room. He smokes in it, but it's leather so the smell can't really be washed out. It is atrocious.
His roots are growing out, too. His icons have the color he dyed it a month ago before he died, but his actual hair color is rust-water brown. Sorry, Volk.
Wardrobe:
In Volk's wardrobe, all clothing is unisex. Sometimes pants. Sometimes leggings. Sometimes pencil skirts and tights. Sometimes blouses. He used to wear earrings and pumps but, to be frank, most days he doesn't change out of pajamas any more. What's the point?
Even his pajamas are black, though. If there's an accent color at all, it's still some goth shit - reds or light purples.
Dude owns a lot of black graphic tees and black graphic hoodies. His favorite has a (tasteful) picture of a dead bird on it, it's a "Phantom of the Paradise" callback.
His glasses are prescription (meaning he always has them on, even in icons where he doesn't) round, tinted pink-red. There's a reason for this. One reason is that he has black hair that's a mess and likes round frames and the tint makes him look slightly less like Harry Potter re-imagined as a lesbian. But: he also just thinks it looks cool. the tint is something I'm actively trying to fix his icons to display.
How do you keep your bunk or cabin? Tornado-hit-it messy. Only Volk knows which floor clothes are dirty and which are clean. He's never going to be in the bunks again if he can help it, though. Fuck that.
Daily routine: You can probably find him either sleeping or lying down under a blanket just like...around. Just around the place. He gets bored in his room, but he's kind of too fucked up right now to do anything but sleep, (sometimes) eat, read, argue with people through his phone, and stare at the ceiling paralyzed by anxiety.
Fav hangout spot: Probably the library. There's nothing to do, but at least he can read.
Eating habits: Not eating all of the meals he should be, in a "depression, no appetite, what's the point" way. He doesn't really get to pick what the automat gives him, but he's more likely to finish junk food than vegetables.
Product from home you’re missing the most: Ha ha ha. You'd think it's Juul, because he's in withdrawal, but that's the motte. The bailey is Haloperidol. Someone really really needs to figure out he should be taking this.

POCKET SAND!?

darn skippy

I wish Theo would fill this out IC, but he wouldn't, or if he did it would just be sarcastic nonsense. Also the idea of being perceived lately is no good, man.

Name: Theodore Howard Crawford. Always Theo, never Ted.
Height: 5'8"
Build: Way too thin
Distinguishing features: His dark red hair, and his large, dark blue eyes. Thanks to the dark circles around them, they really stand out. He also has a smattering of freckles across his face, and his arms if you ever get to see those. His Irish decent is in full effect.

Wardrobe: Hi hello he's from 1948 so it's suits or bust. He loves a nice suit, and knows a bit about textiles and tailoring, but he's never owned an article of clothing that wasn't stolen or a hand-me-down from his brother (who is 7 years older and much bigger than he is). He prefers dark colors. Doesn't always have to be a black suit, dark blues, burgundies, etc. work too.

How do you keep your bunk or cabin? Normally, he's fairly fastidious. He was always good at keeping his books, components and research well organized. Not that he has a lot of stuff to worry about right now.

Daily routine: Once he's done wallowing in depression and self-pity, it'll probably be a LOT of reading. Right now he's limited in the amount of books about magic he's allowed to borrow in a month, so he'll probably fall back on reading novels. He likes the classics, but also cheapo pulp adventures too. When he finally feels like interacting with people again, he might see if anyone would want to play some chess. For now, though, he's laying in bed refusing to talk to anyone all day, and then pacing the halls at night alone like a ghost.

Fav hangout spot: Library and Observatory

Eating habits: Lol. The Automat is trying to get some meat on those bones and get this kid healthy. So it's been a lot of protein and leafy greens for him. He's not thrilled about it but he doesn't care that much either. If he had the tickets and could order a comfort meal from home, it'd probably be from some cheap hole in the wall place from Chinatown in SF.

Product from home you’re missing the most: HIS BOOKS. HIS PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS STOLEN BOOKS AND SPELL COMPONENTS. He thinks about them all the time. Imagine that meme of Wolverine gently caressing that photo of Jean Gray but replace with Theo and his stolen guild collection.

Edited 2022-02-02 23:34 (UTC)

if you hit me up w a colour reference, i can probably tint you icons if you want / don't have other plans

silco has at least once or twice made a point of sitting directly next to volk in the cafeteria. hi buddy. (: your nails are atrocious. (: (:

as part of silco's future goons of america program (TM), if he hears about theo's inability to rent more than a few magic books out at once, he will just download a bunch and offer to let him borrow his communicator while they're in the same room.

he'd try to hang out close enough that if SOMEONE ever took an interest in his messaging app, he could hover with appropriate menace. but u know, failure in that area is fun too.

lol they're trying so hard to break Theo of his magic obsession, and I'm so glad his fellow inmates are willing to unravel all that progress. He will be super mega glad for Silco doing that but will absolutely expect that he's doing it get something from him, whether it's true or not.

attaboy stay paranoid. this kid's got POTENTIAL

I AM HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, SHARON!!

i will take you up on it once im done combing through whats actually out there, no sense in you doing a bunch of icons i might end up replacing? but also yes thank you so much ; ; ;

theres a loooot of material of his PB & some is iconnable and some not. i will hit you up +_+

Claire has made COMMENTARY on this MESSY ROOM my god she has a teenager again

trying to resist the urge to clean his space

infirmary dates??? ♥

Name: Loki Odinson (technically also Laufeyson but he doesn't really use that)
Height: 6'2"
Build: Slim, but muscular. Looks like he jogs up and down hills with Owen Wilson.

Distinguishing features: Cheekbones. BLUE EYES, I swear to god they're blue they are not green they are blue I will get in fistfights over this. Occasionally his entire body turns blue and his eyes turn red and he gets teeny horns too but that's probably an allergic reaction or something idk
Wardrobe: FUNNY STORY. So I put this post together to gather some ideas of what he might dress like when he's not wearing his armor because he can't wear that all the time that'd be silly but then it hit me. In the show he has a line where he says that someone might be his variant but, he would have "worn a suit". So now I am doubting everything and sitting here staring at my hands, wondering if maybe he's actually opting for Fancy Earth Suits all the time because he's a warden now and he has to look like an authority? Or something?

Anyway he can wear just about anything because he can illusion his shit to look like other shit so yeah idk. He probably does wear the Ragnarok suit at least. But I like the idea of him having like......normal person comfy clothes, too.

How do you keep your bunk or cabin? Generally neat. He's enjoying not being stuck in a recreation of his prison cell on Asgard but uh, these rooms are still pretty sterile. He'll need to decorate with lots of fur and green eventually, but for now it's just Where He Sleeps.

Daily routine: Still getting a feel for the ship, and honestly uh, looking for it to fall apart, so I think he's been doing circuits to check on things. Goes and talks to Archie, asking questions about how things work. Trains a little in the gym. Wanders into the inmate dorms and then probably wanders out again because listen none of you are specifically his problem yet and it looks like Barnes has got this so /fingerguns later

Fav hangout spot: hhhhhh he's a nerd so it's the resource library, obviously. Archimedes is probably tired of seeing him.

Eating habits: I think people who see Loki eat will be kind of shocked at just how much he can pack away. He's won eating contests. Also apparently ASGARD DOESN'T HAVE SWEETS???? so he doesn't tend to opt for them on his own, but when he does he really enjoys it and then immediately gets sad and misses his warden who subsisted mostly on Oreos.

Product from home you’re missing the most: Do servants count as a product dlakjdlsa legitimately can't think of an OBJECT he would necessarily be missing but it was nice being waited on okay he Grew Up Royal and then he got to be king for a few years like he can miss that can't he that's not ILLEGAL

But more seriously he probably misses access to magical resources he's used to, both in the form of books and like, supplies he might need for more complicated workings. OH AND I HAVEN'T DECIDED ON IF IDUNN'S APPLES ARE A THING because if they are that might be a problem eventually but hopefully he doesn't have to worry about aging out of his immortality given the circumstances of being a consciousness in a marble in a meat suit right now.

Name: Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser (PRETENTIOUS)
Height: 5'10"
Build: Slender, mostly legs and arms, can touch many ceilings.
Distinguishing features: Mop of curly brown hair and she's going gray :(
Wardrobe: more 60s less colonial america, but with no make up because fuck that and the curls are FREE sans smolder. She tends to favor blues and whites in her clothing choices and is never without her two wedding rings, one on each hand
How do you keep your bunk or cabin? TIDY, she makes the bed every day, clothes are put away, but she hasn't really had time to accumulate clutter.
Daily routine: Wake up. Make bed. Socialize with wardens, inmates. Go poke around the infirmary. Go poke around the greenhouse. Stare off into space, literally, in the observatory. Drift into warden command. Back to room. Rinse and repeat.
Fav hangout spot: Infirmary :( she's weird. There's such cool stuff ~~please let her use it~~ but also the greenhouse I guess
Eating habits: Picks at her food like a bird, but eats regular meals, and never minds company.
Product from home you’re missing the most: ~~Jamie d~~ HAMBURGERS

Name: Alex J. Mercer (Technically "Doctor" Alex J. Mercer as he has at least one Ph.D.)
Height: 5'10"/178cm
Build: Stocky-light-muscular (without shape shifting). He tends to hunch a lot.
Distinguishing features: Dear god his eyes. Very very blue and piercing. They also look kind of shaded like he's perpetually not feeling well or sick. (He's not...not exactly.) Hunches a lot. RARELY, if ever, seen without his hood up.
Wardrobe: Jeans and black shoes, white button up shirt under a grey hoody (hood ALWAYS up), under a brown leather jacket with a neat red wyvern designs. It's very distinctive.
How do you keep your bunk or cabin? Pretty neat since there's not much in it. All the white is going to annoy him though, so he'll probably be trying to get a lot of blue and green (and avoiding red) to change it up. Probably try and get actual BOOKs if he can.
Daily routine: Still learning the ship, but he probably spends a lot of time in the resource library. He likely trains with the freestanding punching bag, if he can get a warden to come supervise (stupid rules). He also spends a lot of time in the Commissary, when he's not just walking the halls and trying to see what's open to him.
Fav hangout spot: Resource Library. It's not the same as books, but it's helpful and keeps him from being bored.
Eating habits: Surprisingly neat, but definitely a bit rushed. He has manners. He always finishes his plate. Makes sure he gets at least 3 meals daily.
Product from home you’re missing the most: He's not really one for 'stuff', other than maybe some creature comforts of nicer sheets, and clothing, and books.

claire's secret plan to associate her presence w painkillers

but HECK YEAH i am handwaving that he's in there every few days probably, so it's a good excuse for them to chit chat whenever we feel like inbox spam.

i'll probably yeet our current convo that way in a bit, he can ask her about what their state of medicine is like or something while they're there.

heck yeah, & no time pressure. adobe has me by the short hairs, so photoshop offers are always open lol

Name: Travis Touchdown. Also known as the Crownless King or the No More Hero.

Height: 5'10". It's the perfect height because most chicks can wear stilettos without feeling self-conscious.

Build: I'm fit as fuck. I'm not one of those guys with a ton of bulk, though, because I prefer to be agile and because people underestimate me.

Distinguishing features: Most days I feel like I'm one of the few people here who gives a shit about having a personal style and hygiene.

Wardrobe: I've been collecting t-shirts and various memorabilia for most of my life. I got my first limited edition t-shirt at Comic-Con 1989. It was a classic slim-fit black tee with the logo for HAZRE, an arcade game company. At the time they were seen as a low-rent ATARI, but their lead developers are still in the game, so who knows. Anyhoo, I have about four hundred t-shirts in regular rotation, and about three thousand more in storage. The bitch running this place let me have seven. Seven? I'm gonna wear them out washing them with only seven in rotation. Fuck! Anyway, I'd say she picked pretty decently. My classic vintage Bizarre Jelly ringer shirt was a no brainer. I'm not sure why she went with "Love Tits" –– I got that one as a pre-order bonus for a gravure series that ended up being really good, really thought-provoking, but people just see the tits on the print and don't respect the integrity behind the art. Oh, and one shirt isn't even a fucking limited edition. It's a shirt I got printed at a local shop of my own mugshot. Pretty perfect in space prison, right? Anyway, I like how versatile a graphic tee is. I pair them with worn-in jeans, flashy belts and bespoke leather jackets. I have a lot of wristbands. I look great in aviators. It's a great look, and if this place was the kind that made inmates wear striped jumpsuits, I'd fall on my own sword, if you know what I mean.

How do you keep your bunk or cabin?
I'm thinking I'd like to rewire the LEDs in my pod to be pink, but I don't know shit about electronics. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to being able to decorate. There's not a lot of space in there, so even if I could access eBay from this basic-ass communicator, I wouldn't have anywhere to display figures or anything. Maybe there's an artist on board I can commission? It's not the same as official merch, but it just doesn't feel like home unless I'm surrounded by inspiration.

Daily routine:
Pretty fucked up! Can't remember the last time I slept this much, or went to bed before midnight. You know late nights are when the most's going on online, right? But there's none of that here! Just all of us sleeping in our bunks! Fuck. I don't want to get used to that.

Fav hangout spot:
The gym. Keep the door unlocked, assholes.

Eating habits:
Healthy. Even if I'm retired, I try to keep at peak performance. I've had to learn to do a lot of cooking these past few years, living at the trailer park... haven't had take-out in a while. I could still go to town on a Triplet from Tag Team Taco Twins, don't get me wrong, but it's kinda nice getting to stroll into the dining hall and just getting an optimal meal, right? And for free! Can't beat free...

Grace is ENTIRELY too self-conscious to fill this out IC. I TRIED.

Name: Grace Gibson (No Middle Name). Her friends back home call her GG but they’re not here. :(

Height: 5’5”, not counting whatever added height she gets from heels and floating.

Build: Just on the noticeable side of too skinny for her frame. She doesn’t wear it well, and compensates by keeping covered/wearing layers and bulky knits.

Distinguishing features: Too-big, too-dark eyes with dark circles under them that never go away, but remarkably pale otherwise.
Nobody can see them, but she has a ton of pretty gnarly scars across the left side of her torso, from her hip up to her chest in the front and several other surgical scars dotted over her hip, collarbone and shoulder from the installation and removal of pins, plates and screws. (If you’re seeing these, she’s either unconscious or dead [again], or you are a Very Special Person whom she Trusts Very Much. Grace is VERY careful about keeping them covered.)

Wardrobe: Grace dresses pretty unremarkably casual-professional most of the time. In more casual situations she wears more relaxed outfits like these. When she has to dress up slightly she tends to default to nicer separates.
Her style is pretty mature for her age. She prefers solid colors in interesting textures over prints, likes knitwear and layers, and sticks to heeled boots, because why not when you fly everywhere. Usually little pops of whimsy come in with jewelry or makeup, but her main pieces are more classically styled. Her favorite colors are sage green, grey-violet, and dusty peach :)

How do you keep your bunk or cabin? IMMACULATE. But mostly because she’s sort of treating it like a hotel room— only hers temporarily, not to be Lived In overmuch. Once she gets enough tickets to do so she’s going to buy herself a sleeping bag, so eventually she won’t even have to make her bed that often. (It’s for practical reasons— when you tend to float a foot over your bed while you sleep, normal blankets will leave your back cold. Sleeping Bag = toasty floating burrito, no matter how you toss and turn.)

Daily routine: Grace doesn’t have an inmate to look after yet, so she spends most of her day reading in the cafeteria (mess hall… she calls it a cafeteria. Because College.) or other Public Places, because why keep sitting in her room when everybody knows she exists now, and it’s much better for people-watching to be in public. When she’s not there, she’ll be in the Resource Library checking books in and out, or just wandering around being nosy.

Fav hangout spot: Right now, the mess hall. Maybe elsewhere later as she gets more acclimated.

Eating habits: Surprisingly normal for how scrawny she is— 3 squares a day and plenty of snacks. At home she bakes for fun so she eats a lot of cookies and brownies and cinnamon rolls and stuff normally! Must be a metabolism thing.

Product from home you’re missing the most: A KITCHEN. The Automat is very futuristic and fancy and everything but WHY U NO LET HER BAKE???

I love how obsessed you are with his eye color. IT MATTERS!!!

IT'S ANNOYING HOW COMMON THIS MISCONCEPTION IS OKAY

volk, a lump of blankets crammed into the furthest corner of the bed like

why should i have a clean room when its not my room , not my clothes, not my house, and not even death can get me out

- shirts are exactly the right length to meet his jeans, which are pretty low-rise, so when he lifts his arms or bends too far over, you see a strip of bare skin. he possibly goes commando. don't want to know.
- when he's bored/stuck standing still, he stretches, poses, etc. dude is almost always moving. he's a fiddler.
- unless he's sleeping or showering, he's wearing the aviators.
- sometimes he does up the buckle on his belt towards his left hip rather than dead center? it's fashion, you wouldn't understand.
- generally a pretty clean person! he has a vain streak. he's rarely seen disheveled or unshaven, and even if there's no hair gel, he is fastidious about his hair, drying it in the right shape with a bit of extra soap.
- sits with his legs wide open like an asshole
- swears so goddamn much
- guaranteed this man has fallen for several fitness/health related MLMs
- openly checks out women + fit men, sorry

i mean if that loki was a variant, maybe he was just the variant that preferred suits. do whatever you'll have fun w, imo. also consider: tunic & tie. business boy blazer over a gambeson. the world is full of stupid possibility.

at least once when loki has done his check-in circuits silco has been in a bad mood and started counting the number of times he sticks his head in and out. that makes THREE, odinson.
