Metaphorical lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent takes the bad with the good and he bears it.

Literal lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent simply enjoys the taste and pure sourness of raw lemons.

Silent is not a very accomplished culinarian. He can follow recipes well enough to the point where they are average, but the only dish he makes that could be considered "pretty good, actually" is smoked raptor, which is also his favorite dish. He can also dry raptor jerky rather well.

Silent prefers salty foods the most, though he is not particularly picky. Silent only dislikes overly sweet things that make him sick such as cakes or chocolates. He can handle the mild sweetness of fruits, etc.

Silent enjoys raptor meat, how it can be prepared salty, spicy, or savory.

Does your wol oc prefer sweet, spicy, savory foods? All or none of these?

Silent is not a picky eater whatsoever. He genuinely sees nothing wrong with archon loaf and finds himself questioning why people commonly object to it.

However, he absolutely hates sweet foods. He finds that excessive sweetness makes him physically ill and will avoid sweet things.

Silent Bramble often snores loudly and irregularly throughout his slumber. His snores often startle those unaware of this quirk due to both their unexpectedness and their volume.

Silent has been made aware by others that he snores, though he himself is unaware of just how bad it is.

It depends on the location. If it's out in the field, then Silent prefers to sleep near others because it's simply safer that way, but usually not in the same bed because Silent is aware of his high body heat and that he turns and thrashes in his sleep.

On the other hand, it would be pretty funny if it's also four-person so that mentors get roulette'd into it as often as they do Rath EX.

When attending, Silent shows up exactly on time as specified, usually on the dot to an uncanny degree. If he's somehow early or late, he will apologize.

When hosting, Silent makes certain to be at least two bells early in order to finalize anything, and to make sure he misses nothing.

Nope, I made my own FC (Gil Fanclub) primarily so that I could have the <<GILF>> tag next to my name and say that it is shorthand for Gil Fanclub if asked, it isn't a part of Silent's actual lore.

As an aside, I have yet to unlock the 2nd submersible via RNG yet. My first is rank 27/20 now.

Silent is not normally a violent person and tries to avoid using force in a situation if it can be helped, but he is not a pacifist and has no compunctions with doing so if he feels that it is required.

Silent is often forced to use violence to fulfill his duty as hero and defender.

Silent would be skeptical of the deal and decline.

If he knew it was legitimate, he would easily accept, feeling that he could help many and learn much over the course of an eternity.

He'd underestimate how emotionally numb he could become eventually. Still benevolent, just numb.

A rare moment of me asking a #wolqotd instead of answering, based on my own musings about a certain fic idea:

Your WoL/OC is offered immortality. No catch, no hidden downside, they can live forever, unaging and untouched by time if they choose to.

Do they? Could they bear it?

Silent very rarely initiates conversation, choosing mostly to respond. Whenever he responds or adds his own input, he speaks with brevity and complete honesty.

Topics that Silent enjoys include physical training, asking Silent for favors, and discussing politics.

Silent doesn't get jealous. He is too focused on constantly improving himself to feel this way. If someone manages to impress him, he views it as a positive thing rather than feeling bitter or envious towards that person.

Silent does not have biological children, but if he did he would be quite the helicopter parent.

He would likely attempt to emulate his own mother in the way that she mentored him, but he might not realize that he can be too tough at times in the specific way that he teaches.

Silent does not care to have a preference for a specific color. If asked, his answer would change depending on how he is feeling.

Notably, he dislikes metallic gold, and this distaste grows with its luster and abundance. To Silent, the shine of gold brings to mind insatiable avarice.

Silent finds sweet desserts cloying and dislikes them. Concentrated sweetness upsets his stomach in a crippling manner, much to his embarrasment.

He does partake of alcohol occasionally for recreation and celebration, which could be considered a treat as he is well aware it is a vice.
