A list of facets
Dec. 3rd, 2013 07:56 amThis is a list of my facets. Most of them are fictives (i.e. they are/identify as fictional characters), though some of them are original (i.e. they originated in my mind). I'll list them accordingly, in alphabetical order. Note that some of them feel "more real" than others, and some of them have gone through stages of feeling more "real" than others (e.g. some of them are just fragments, some of them are sort-of people, some of them may well be real people, etc.) I'm not even going to specify which are which because it changes so often.
For the fictives, I'm also giving links to Wikis where one can read more about the character in question. (These would be links to Wikis specifically about the work of fiction these people are from.) Note that my facets may not be entirely like the characters they're modeled on, usually for good reasons (most of which involve having had experiences with me that caused them to undergo "character development", for lack of a better way of saying it).
This list is naturally subject to change as facets enter my head or leave it.
Originals:
Amaliel - Originally a character I made up for a story. A very philosophical angel supposedly working on Earth to help the people on it. Continually convinced of the superiority of his interpretation of morality and God's will, but only because he’s thought it out so well; sometimes, it is proven wrong. He mostly comes out in my small group at church, when we discuss the sermon after it's given. He helps me explain my ideas. Sometimes goes by "Mal".
Betelgeuse - A personification of the star Betelgeuse. I made him up for a story, and it turned out that he was really, really good to have as a facet, because he has almost zero capacity for anxiety or nervousness, and he is really interested in his physical surroundings, no matter what they are, so you can literally put him anywhere where there’s physical stimuli and he won't get bored, tired, or anxious after being in the same place for like five hours.
Charlie - One of those early-teenage boys who's really enthusiastic about everything and friendly and likes reading whilst sitting in a pile of stuffed animals and stuff. Tends to experience my emotions for me, which is really helpful.
Eames - The main facet, kind of, not sure how much of what I do and say is me anymore and how much of it is Eames. A witty snarker who's low on empathy but high on nonsense, a "functional slacker", very fond of tea. He's caught in a state of perpetual nightblogging.
Jake the Serial Killer - I don't like to talk about Jake.
The Sargent - Doesn't mind seeing children cry. Helpful when I have to deal with them and they're not behaving. (Fun fact: she - the Sargent is apparently female - got her name from how my grandpa described my way of dealing with my three little cousins. She basically exists for scenarios like that.)
Timothy Whitman - A bit of a dandy and an actual nice guy. If I told you his personality was more or less a cross between Tom Hiddleston's and Oscar Wilde's, that might explain a lot about him. Very social, extraverted, kind to other people, fond of laughing.
Fictives:
Arthur Dent - I'm hesitant to add him because I'm not sure if he's a facet anymore or if hes just a part of my regular personality now. Mostly he comes out when I'm nervous or to discuss matters of tea or something like that. (Normally, he corrects people on their misperceptions of tea and when people are "doing in wrong" in regards to tea, etc.)
Arthur Shappey - Passenger with a hat. Likes helping people, seldom gets the chance to. Does so anyway. (Fun fact: he used to come out almost exclusively around my grandma, and he's still most likely to come around her. It possibly has something to do with the fact that she has his mother's name but she's much nicer.)
Cecil - The Voice of Night Vale. Likes making surrealistic, existential points of pretty much everything and reading things out loud. Also sometimes helps me make fashion choices.
Fourth Doctor - Not actually sure what he's doing here but he's here.
Eleventh Doctor - Never likes to see children cry. Helpful when I have to deal with them and they're being alright. Also very good at helping people and being kind to them and stuff. Good stuff.
Douglas Richardson - First officer with MJN Air. Marvelous at putting words together and having them sound nice, not so marvelous at making them polite. He came about as a way to handle social situations I didn't want to be in, ended up helping me put words together when I want to say something and have it sound nice (with the unfortunate result that some of what I said was laced with Douglas's typical sass and thus not keeping with the general politeness that the people around me like).
Ford Prefect - A roving researcher for that wonderful book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Came about as a means for me to enjoy life and random events more than I already did, ended up being a surprisingly prevalent and not entirely helpful force in my partaking of social events.
Loki - The god of mischief and family issues. Fortunately, given that this incarnation of Loki is part of me and thus part of my family, he's really pleased with the family he's in and thus he actually helps me enjoy my family and see how great they are when I think and feel the opposite. This is the Marvel version of the character.
Martin Crieff - "I am the supreme commander of this vessel!" Semi-obsessed with responsibility. Used to be prone to breakdowns when unexpected stuff happened, but he's gotten better. Also, he used to say "I have control!" all the time until we realized that control was not what was always needed, so his catchphrase is now, "I've got this!"
Sherlock Holmes - High-functioning sociopath. Very focused, very objective, very likely to accidentally offend people. This is the BBC version of the character.
For the fictives, I'm also giving links to Wikis where one can read more about the character in question. (These would be links to Wikis specifically about the work of fiction these people are from.)
