So someone on Pokecharms found this actually interesting questionnaire for character building. I've done it for a couple characters and it's interesting how easy some questions are to answer for some characters and how difficult some are for others. Anyway, figured I'd share it here.

So I'm gonna bring this one back, and also fill in the questions for Carlos!
(I'm gonna set a notification to do this again in a year and see how my answers have changed)
What foods do they love, and what foods do they refuse to eat?
Love: Carlos loves specialty dishes. We're talking, like, high-end restaurant dishes where it looks like a snack instead of a meal, and it's based on the fact that he grew up eating basically just instant meals and microwave dinners.
Refuse: Oven chips. They were a staple that went with every meal and he outright will not eat them any more.
What is their weapon of choice, and what weapon do they dislike using the most?
Of choice: None. He's not a combatant.
Dislike: Something heavy, like a mace or something that would weigh him down.
What is their preferred method of transportation?
Running, mixed with some parkour. He spent most of his childhood and teenage years dodging people that he's adopted some parkour skills to help him stick to the shadows.
Who did they look up to the most as a child? Who do they look up to as an adult?
Child: His mother, because at the end of the day she was a strong woman who did well at what she did.
Teenager: No one. He doesn't particularly admire anyone, but also doesn't have anyone he looks down on.
What kind of weather makes them happy, and what kind makes them sad?
Happy: Cloudy and overcast weather, with the threat of rain.
Sad: Wind.
What languages do they speak? Do they have any idiosyncrasies or identifiable patterns of speech, word usages, etc?
Actually only fluently speaks English, but he tends to let his thoughts hit his mouth before he filters them. He also uses the phrases "kind-of" and "sort-of" a lot.
What clothing do they like to wear, and what do they wear most often?
Fashionable. Usually also functional, but primarily he wears stuff to look good. Everything he wears, however, is something he can move in. He wears a lot of red and white, and prefers shorts to pants or jeans. As for tops, he wears form-fitting clothes but ones that have enough lycra in them for him to move easily.
Do they eat a healthy diet? A varied one?
Not particularly, as a child. Hitting his teenage years made him expand his food choices, but he's not a chef and can't really afford fine dining.
As a child, what did they want to be when they grew up? Did they realize their dream?
As a child, he wanted to feel safe. Jury's out on if he realized it.
What makes them feel safe or secure? What makes them feel insecure or unsafe?
Secure: Blankets. Preferably the fleecey kind.
Insecure: Fur, fake or not.
What do they do when they need comfort? Do they seek out a person, a food, an activity, etc?
He retreats into himself, despite that not being a comfort. He has friends, but he'd deathly terrified of letting his weaknesses show in front of other people, so he internalizes a lot. In desperate times, he goes running to try to shake everything off.
Do they sing or play any musical instruments, even if just for fun? How well?
He never had the chance to learn an instrument.
What decision in their past did they most analyze and fret over after the fact?
SPOILERS
What are they like when they are drunk?
When he's tipsy, he gets overly-physically-affectionate and is pretty much just a hug monster. When he gets really drunk, he withdraws his physicality and sits in the corner, but he's still cheery with anyone who speaks to him.
Where in their body do they keep stress or tension?
Shoulders.
What do they think about where they currently live? If they could move elsewhere, would they?
Bearing in mind he's living on campus, he likes it. He's surrounded by people who aren't his mother, even if he only really trusts Jay.
Do they have any pet peeves or petty dislikes, and how do they react to encountering them?
Have actually never thought about this! I'll let his personality discover this one. (I realise that is not the point of this quiz)
What foods do they eat most often? Do they enjoy it?
Instant noodles, because he knows how to make it. Enjoy? Not so much.
What is their favorite texture?
Velvet and leather (not simultaneously)
Do they like to travel? How do they pack and prepare?
For long-distance, he's a train person. He packs everything meticulously in a small suitcase that wont get in the way, but nothing is creased when he pulls it out.
How well do they take criticism? How do they react to others noticing their flaws?
Publically, he laughs it off. Privately, it depends on if it hits a nerve. If it doesn't, he's already forgotten about it. If it does, he switches the lights off and sulks in his room.
What are they like when they get sick? Do they have a particular system (ears, lungs, etc) that illness gravitates to?
Gets sore throats often. He tries to shrug it off, but he functions at half-speed.
What is their favorite drink?
Dr. Pepper.
How do they react to being physically injured or undergoing medical treatment?
Another thing I'd never thought about! Carlos is the sort of person who would try to continue regardless of whatever's going on, even if it's detrimental to his well-being.
What do their hands look and feel like?
Pristine nails, and his skin is well-moisturized.
How much do they eat, and how often? Do they drink appetite suppressants (tea, coffee, etc)?
Doesn't actually eat that much, and drinks coffee moderately. What he does eat is either instant noodles or something flavoursome.
Do they have children? Do they want children? What names would they choose?
He has never even thought about children, so he wouldn't think to choose names.
What is a gift that they have received that was especially touching or significant?
SPOILERS, but while significant, it wasn't touching.
How do they arrange or decorate their living space?
Minimalist. He keeps as little in his space because it means he can't mess it up too much. His colours are big on the darker tones, deep red, black, dark brown sort of colours. His actual furniture would be minimalist, understated and not intrusive.
Do they have any allergies or chronic conditions?
A phobia of animals.
