Where they hang out: Are they a parlor guy or a diner girlie? What gendered changing room do they gravitate toward at the baths?
Activities they often do: Do they wake at the crack of dawn to do a cute little run? Do they prefer to inventory the general store on the daily?
What they're like at mealtimes: Can you talk to them before they've had their coffee? Do they make horrific food based choices?
Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? Self-help, or romance? Do they dogear the sex parts?
What do they do at night? Do they all hang out in the parlor? Do their drink the night away? Do they lurk in the shadows?
Is there anything unusual about them? Do they sleep somewhere other than the Staywell? Do they have a particular scent or appearance that might be off-putting? Are they just way too friendly?
What their current vibe is: Are they happy? Sad? Are you tormenting them with an awful, drawn out character arc?
What CR are you interested in: Low-key pals? Sparring buddies? Do they have a passive aggressive post-it based relationship?

Character Name: Light
What do they usually wear? He dresses like the stereotypical sheriff in a Western film: button-down shirt (fully buttoned), vest, slacks with a belt. Everything he wears is neat and professional, yet practical to move around in. He wears a black Stetson outside, but always removes it indoors. He looks like a goody-good, frankly.
Where they hang out: Thanks to the sheer force of personality that is Darin, the cistern has become his pet project. Outside of that, you'll mostly find him outdoors or at the Staywell--and when he's alone, he's always working on something.
Activities they often do: Mapping the cistern, exploring the town, trying to piece together how everything works. Since his clearest memory is that he was once a star at tennis, he'll also find a way to practice swatting a ball around, partly to keep his mind off things and partly in hopes it will trigger other memories to return. He's also discovered the joys of the bulletin board, God help us all.
What they're like at mealtimes: He's getting increasingly miffed at the lack of rice, but you won't hear him complain. He'll socialize with whoever happens to be around, though he does more listening than talking. His table manners are excellent.
Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? He glanced at a few once. No further interest.
What do they do at night? He's taken Palamedes's advice to heart and started journaling everything he does. Night time is note time. Something about that just feels right to him.
Is there anything unusual about them? He's just a polite, amiable, studious guy. Very normal. Almost relentlessly so.
What their current vibe is: To the average resident, he seems to be handling things pretty well. To anyone particularly observant or who spends time with him regularly, the vibe is closer to "still waters run deep." He's in deep fucking denial about a great many things (primarily his memory of committing murder and the inevitability of his impending death at the end of the cycle), and someday soon, that bubble is going to burst hard.

What CR are you interested in: Much as I would love for him to make friends, he could also really use a nemesis. Don't be afraid to come piss him off. He thrives on that.
Anything else?

piss him off you say

i think we can manage that

Excellent.

You don't want to go into the cistern nerd guy. It sucks down there. Super bad vibes. But then again it might be validating if someone else commits a crime against nature in there so Alec is taking that back, god speed.

Which is a way of saying I'd love to arrange for Alec to give his Take on local events to Light.

Yes, please! Light's soliciting Takes from everybody he meets, so pretty much any opportunity for them to bump into each other would work for that.

Alec spins a chair around to sit backwards on it like so you've heard from the nerds what's going on. Well forget about fifty percent of that. There's a giant meat wad in the dirt that wants us all to suffer hilariously forever because it hates us. We have to kill it but we're making zero progress on doing that. We're probably doomed. Enjoy hell.

Light laughs and tells him he's aware of the meat wad in the dirt, but when he pointed out that anything with a massive stomach might also have a massive brain (and that he'd like to go find it so he could play around in its head for a change), he got shot down. So. Nice to know somebody around here isn't just resigned to dying, at least.

Most people aren't thinking paranoid enough is the problem. Of course there's a giant brain or collection of brains somewhere! It just makes sense.

before becoming half-flesh monster half-girl, noelle was the captain of an internationally ranked high school e-sports team, which is a personality type that i think could lead to either a fun friendship with light, a passive aggressive rivalry, or both!

Absolutely! With that personality type they would probably get on spectacularly right up until the first time their objectives were in conflict...and then all bets would be off
