Daemon Meme

[awanderingbard]

Combining my two favourite things: character development memes and daemons. Thought it might jump start my word fairies.

Give me the name of a character and I'll tell you the following about their daemon:

Animal:
Name:
Nickname:
Major Personality Traits:
How he/she sleeps:
How he/she travels with his/her human:
What he/she does when his/her human is at rest:
Favourite forms before he/she settled:
What his/her voice sounds like:

I can probably come up with a daemon if it's for a character I haven't yet given one to. Feel free to ask for more than one character.

Craig!Bond would communicate all this with an eye twitch.

So far the best part of writing daemon!fic with Bond is at least there is someone there to articulate his thoughts, and you don't have to have him being all silent and brooding. He can brood with his soul.

I always find characters get a bit more warm in daemon!fic. Maybe just the influence of cuddly animal friends.

Only sit here with my hands on my cheeks and smile.

I"m just thinking, Howard might invite Siger over to work with SHIELD, and maybe Dora decides going with him would be educational, and Maria invites her over to hang out since she doesn't know anyone in America and...bam! Crossover fic.

I was going to mention, because it may be relevant to your interests, there is a tie-in comic for the Iron Man films that claims that JARVIS is based on the personality of the Starks' English Butler, Edwin Jarvis, who was around when Tony growing up, and who stood in as pseudo-dad for Tony. Sort of like his Alfred (which was the reason they changed him to an AI for the film, incidentally,because they thought people would accuse him of a being a rip-off). I don't know if that helps or hinders you, but I don't consider tie-ins canon, so you can ignore it if it doesn't work, or use it if it would be helpful.

It makes us all fluffier.

I thought the original comics!Jarvis was indeed a person who was a butler. I just didn't know it was an English butler.

I just did a quick Google. It says Jarvis was a RAF pilot in WWII who moved to America after the war and started working for the Starks. I think he's meant to be play on Jeeves.

I guess British butlers were all the rage back then.

I could see America being the place to go for a man trained to be a British butler post-WWII. The class system in England broke down post WWI and was even worse post-WWII, and many houses couldn't afford to keep servants any more. A lot of men who had been trained for what was a very prestigious job back then found themselves digging ditches to make money. Americans would have found the notion of British staff very fancy, especially the nouveau riche who were trying to prove they were just as genteel. If you had your heart set on buttling, America might be the place to go.

That makes tons of sense. I can see the Starks of the comics picking up one because, well, they're Starks.

I sort of gave computer!Jarvis a different origins story for my Tony kid!fic in the daemon-verse. I liked the idea of Jarvis sort of "growing up" along side Tony who built him slowly over the years.

Hee, 'picking one up' sounds like there's a bunch f British butlers at the Humane Society and the Starks just came in and adopted one.

Aww! I like that far better, to be honest. And it makes sense that Jarvis is so advance as to be almost sentient now, if Tony has been working on him that long and tweaking the flaws.
