1: [name_m]Basil[/name_m] [name_m]Anders[/name_m] will most likely kill Liliani [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], which is perfectly within his rights, as she killed his parents (although she didnāt know they had kids [yes, thatās kids, plural, which is why I think if he ever met me he would attack my little sibling and not me directly]).
2: Well, I killed his parents and his little sister, and since it was a house fire and heās a [name_m]Fire[/name_m] elemental, I also made him think that he did it, and he carried that guilt around for around four years until [name_m]Arnold[/name_m] showed him what really happened. Once heās gotten his vengeance, I think heāll finally have the time and peace of mind to heal, but. . . whoo Iām mean.
3: Oh gosh, I have way too many characters to pick a favorite, but Iām especially fond of [name_m]Basil[/name_m] and [name_f]Sanya[/name_f] right now. Iāll do this for [name_f]Sanya[/name_f] later.
4: [name_m]Basil[/name_m] has a thing about sandwiches. Like, he will make anything into a sandwich. One of the first things [name_m]Silver[/name_m] (another main character) sees him do is turn his steak into a steak sandwich. This is to the point where he carries two pieces of bread in a Ziploc bag around with him, just in case he needs to make a sandwich.
5: Uh. . . itās hard to pick. Itās quite possibly the time his friend Lyddie pranked him into eating a rock that turned out to be poisonous, and he fell for it despite the fact that his Information power could easily have told him that, and in fact did. It could also be the time when he in a cave with [name_m]Arnold[/name_m], and his power told him that there was a possibility of a cave-in, and he was so angry about it that he punched a wall and caused a cave-in. I. . . have a thing about taking sets of gay idiots (some of them are bi, some are pan, whatever) and putting them in increasingly desperate and unlikely scenarios until they finally spill all their secrets to each other.
6: Itās hard to say. If I had to pick, itās probably his dead sister, [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], which. . . is sad. Back when he was twelve and innocent, his second favorite people would have been his best friends, Lyddie and AJ, tied, and then his parents, also tied, and then probably [name_m]Max[/name_m] Fieldsworth, and then his science teacher, and then his grandmother. Nowadays. . . maybe [name_m]Arnold[/name_m] is second? And then [name_f]Viola[/name_f], then either [name_m]Silver[/name_m] or [name_f]Celestial[/name_f], then the other one, and then the Adults. His parents and grandmother probably feature on the list somewhere. I should write a scene where he runs into [name_m]Max[/name_m] again, maybe with [name_m]Arnold[/name_m]. . . that would be hilarious.
7: Basilās greatest fear was (and still is) that heāll hurt someone he cares about with his powers again, which is why he didnāt used his powers for three years and also why he didnāt let himself get close enough to anyone to care about them (except maybe his grandmother, and she was always one of those family members who you love but donāt like very much). Heās also afraid of heights and has been for his whole life.
8: He loves science, especially entomology, which is one of the things he has in common with [name_m]Arnold[/name_m], although [name_m]Arnold[/name_m] is more of an inventor. Thereās a really great moment early on where he gets really excited about a cool beetle he sees and [name_m]Silver[/name_m] realizes that maybe thereās an actual person underneath that cloud of rudeness and glaring.
9: Mostly, he doesnāt like being afraid. He knows his mental health isnāt great and wishes it were better, but his grandmother certainly never talked about that stuff with him, and he doesnāt know how to approach the subject even with himself. He wishes he could have friends again, but heās too scared of himself, and in those moments, he hates both himself and how scared he is.
10: Well, he thought he killed his family, so obviously he regretted that. After he found out what really happens, he regretted that he jumped to conclusions so quickly and lived the next years of his life terrified of his own existence, and also that he didnāt immediately go out and seek vengeance. He regrets that he stopped telling his parents he loved them a few months before they died, because of course he did love them, he was just angry at them for restricting his freedoms right as he was beginning to find himself. He regrets every time he snapped at [name_f]Junie[/name_f] when she was only trying to be with him. More recently, he regrets how mean he was to [name_m]Silver[/name_m] and the rest at the beginning of the story, and he wishes he hadnāt been too scared to tell [name_m]Arnold[/name_m] how he felt at the perfect opportunity. Absurdly, he sometimes regrets that he never got up the courage to actually talk to [name_m]Max[/name_m] Fieldsworth.
There, thatās [name_m]Basil[/name_m] [name_m]Anders[/name_m] for you. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a comprehensive picture yet or do you need me to ramble on about him more? Lol
