I'm bored, and this might help people figure something out about their character. One question a day. If this goes anywhere, this might get its own board.
Question #1
What does your character's home look like?
Sasha doesn't have a home, she lives on the road and hunts for a living. She's always carrying what little she owns on her person or in a small bag.
Jon lives by himself in a small apartment. Things are generally a mess and there is clutter everywhere. There's a cheap flatscreen set in an old entertainment center cabinet that was built for a CRT, with the center board torn out. Token efforts at cleaning are evident in some areas, but it's largely a chaotic mess of junk and clothing.
Bedroom is small and cramped with a variety of fancy-looking paintings (all bought for a couple bucks at garage sales) on the walls.
The bed is small and tucked into the far third of the room, a computer desk takes up another chunk of the room, with two dressers haphazardly filled with clothes and nick-knacks.
My character, Jimmy Lee Darrell, lives in a loft apartment with fancy expensive couches and his own minibar where he stores all his favorite beverages, including Bacardi, the only rum that has a bat for its label. :D
His bedroom is similarly fancy with a large mahogany bed with scarlet red bed covers; much too big for a single vampire bat, but when you're a bachelor in a fictional story about anthropomorphic animals with superpowers, why the hell not?
This isn't really a fair question for me...
Lattenmon just lives in the trees or on the road. Nothing really much for possessions.
Cindy is the same way, just a wanderer.
Bryce has what amounts to an HQ carved into the mountains in Montana, including, but not limited to, a small forrest and living space. In a mountain, I must emphasize.
It's an tropical island. Sits on top of a hill that over looks the ocean surrounding it. 360 degree view. It has a huge, back porch with a pit in it along with seating for 20 off to the side is sliding glass doors that opens up to a huge gourmet kitchen, that has an open lay out into a dinning room. The living room is off the dinning room and kitchen. The basement has a recording room for those who want to record music. Up stairs there are 8 different bedrooms with different themes, each room is sound proof just in case people want to have sex. From the back porch you can take a trail down to the beach were there is another Fire pit and a shack that holds Surfboards, boogie boards, inner tubes, snorkels, diving equipment. And the tools to maintain everything. Including umbrella's and hammocks. It's a self maintaining Island, every eco friendly.
Qaja: Which one? I've got an apartment in Salt Lake City for the hockey season, a rather extravagant flat in Berlin, and a summer cabin. The apartment in S-L-C is pretty simple. Got a TV, small home gym for off days, couple 'a game consoles to keep free time occupied. Master bedroom is pretty awesome, though~! Big ol' King bed, glass shower in the master bath. Salt Lake has been good to me so far!
Kris: Kristine is a wanderer in her time. The closest place she ever had to a home was Shayla Hall in her time in the lands of faerune. The hall itself was 'grown' through magic. A large ring of oak trees with 'glass' filling in between them. Her time there was short lived, but she loved the feel of it. In more modern times she simply lives in a modest rural home that displays much of her past days. Weapons, armor, or other gifts she has kept close to her.
Thala: Has never really settled. She often moves from one magical acadamy to another to help as a teacher, giving her connection to magic.
Alaric: Much like Kris, Alaric tends to live on the modest side. Though he hasn't started much of a collection yet.
All three hail from lands that start in the high fantasy ages. The lands of their home raved by the last great war of the four kingdoms. During Kris lifetime that war came to a close and the lands were rebuilt, though splintered into smaller kingdoms with much more chaos.
It wasn't until near the full mature age of Thala that the land came together to deal with a much greater threat that united most of the kingdoms and restored some measure of balance.
Arashi lives on the top floor of an an office building. he flat out bought the whole floor.
The rest of the building is a normal office at least 10 or more floors upwards.
His place is bare at the moment, But slowly he's putting it together.
Depending on the setting the cat has two homes.
More modern settings it's usually a larger studio apartment in a renovated high rise on the lesser spoken of side of town. There are no doors to the outside but plenty of windows. Her places is on the 13th floor because she's somewhat cliche with numbers.
Typically the place is well kept with full amenities however her room us usually a mess with clothes strewn about everywhere.
In less modern more 'ye olden' or fantasy she lives under the stump of an old dead tree (usually in the wonderland forest). She keeps the place as unfriendly and scary as possible as she doesn't want many visitors.
The main entrance is usually scary with skulls and death things strewn about, but deeper in the place is well kept with many many hallways and rooms. It's much deeper and expansive than it seems.
well Yuko lives in a fair sized appartment alone with simple things like wifi and a gaming system
In a van down by the river, eating government grade cheese
Or a old hand made shack he made in the 1800's
I actually have a VERY old and hastily drawn concept sketch I made of Laffins apartment that I drew (poorly) in highschool.
Laffin lives in a small but nice apartment in a modestly sized (smaller) city. It's comfortable, well lit, and an overall relaxing setting. I also wanted to make it seem stylish enough to be a good looking backdrop for any number of situations, without making it ridiculous or opulent.

Amariithynar lives in a demiplane of his own creation; having initially created it quite a long time ago, it's since grown to rather massive proportions (for a magically created demiplane), to where he cannot fly from one end of the sky to the other. As the Seed of Chaos that was embedded within Amariithynar's chest was used as the source for the demiplane's magical energies, he can exert little control over it as its master, but it keeps it self-perpetuating and creating new land, peoples, flora, and fauna without him needing to seed the demiplane with life, otherwise; since he otherwise maintains complete mastery over his own domain through his own inherent magic and the few powers he gained by absorbing said Seed of Chaos, this has only ever minimally bothered him.
Within this demiplane are several villages, towns, and other, less-standard settlements of different species, ranging from anthropomorphic furs like typical lapins and foxes, to more monster-ish beings like slimes, ogres, harpies, cyclopes, and the like, as well as your typical human settlements. Since resources are plentiful to begin with, the various species more-or-less get along with each other; most prefer the company of their own kind, and there's friction between the more monstrous elements, but occasionally some from other species will move in to a town with a predominant species not their own. A few species are warmer to each other than the rest, like the harpies and goblins, both able to sate each others' needs more easily, and having similar lifespans; or kobolds and ogres, where the former effectively act as servants to ogres as if they were lords, but at the same time the ogres protect their broods and perform the role of much-needed muscle when needed, so it's a symbiotic relationship rather than a parasitic one.
As for Amariithynar's actual abode, it's a cave located within a secluded mountain valley within that demiplane, the mountains raised to provide some topographical variety in the early years of the demiplane's existence; since then, it's created its own topography, but this ridge of mountains remains untouched at the center of the demiplane. Though I say 'cave', it's not like it's just a crack in the ground, or a hole bored through the rock; It's been carved smooth by magic and claw both, with the path cutting through a short entryway of otherwise-natural cave, with stalactites and stalagmites and a springy, bioluminescent moss that carpets the walls and the ground, cut around each of the cave's 'teeth' (the stalactites and stalagmites) to create an interesting dichotomy between natural and man-made design, much like with topiary shrubs that have been grown into a specific shape.
The area within mostly consists of a few large-ish caves separated by several short tunnels to the main hub cave, several times the size of the others, which contains several amenities arranged in a series of stepped tiers; on a step above everything else in the room, a pure water spring that cascades down around its steppe and feeds out of the cave along the pathway in beneath the moss, in a series of small channels cut specifically for that purpose (it not only feeds the moss to keep it alive and well, but also drains the area around the spring so it doesn't flood his home); below the drinking spring, nestled right beside it, a hot spring that is magically sourced and heated, tempered by the water cascading down into it from above, that also feeds into the same drainage as the pure water spring; on a third tier, separate from either spring by a channel that runs along the conjoining wall, a set of tables and chairs in various sizes, to match that of any supplicants or guests, are grown upwards from the granite floor with magic, and flow in and out without ever lifting up from the ground by the same magic; at ground level, a kitchen with three tiers to it, so that he or any guests or servants can cook themselves meals at any given size, with the largest being appropriate for huge monstrous beings like dragons and cyclopes, the second being for smaller folk like trolls, ogres, and lizardfolk, and the last for the smallest among the species, like pixies and brownies; lastly, a short, offset room with a door, the only one within the entire cave system, that leads to a toilet drawn up from the stone floor like the tables and chairs, that is also soundproofed for people's comfort.
Of the other rooms that are off the spokes of the main hub room where he spends most of his time, there's several storage rooms, the ones nearest the main hub chamber primarily filled with dried, dead moss, used for fuel for the kitchen; a series of bare, empty rooms with various gems mounted above the doorway, that have housed various pets and slaves over the years, that each get furnished according to the one living there, and is cleared out when they leave; a room that contains nothing but a series of incredibly plush cushions and mattresses beneath those, meant for lounging about; and lastly, the master bedroom chamber, which contains a walk-in closet with a large variety of clothes that go mostly unworn, but are there should he ever care to wear something, a suit of polished, sky-blue armor with a fan of feathers at each temple (Image from profile here (http://www.furry-within.com/index.php?action=profile;area=pictures;u=158;view=840)) mounted atop an armor stand at the very back, in a place of honour, and a large, four-poster bed with an incredibly soft mattress that almost envelops the dragon whole, in his dragon form, obviously meant for nothing but sleeping as comfortably as possible.
Obviously not including all the minute details, but that should do as a general explanation of Amari's home, I think.
Ging is kinda nomadic. She doesn't really have a home but bunks with friends when she needs to.
