Enoch | El Shaddai

[warriorscribe]

[warriorscribe]

He would have lived out the rest of an ordinary mortal life, peaceful and uneventful aside from your typical Earth-based problems. He would sleep free of recurring nightmares and only suffer loss expected from a normal life.

But his horizons would be less broad, and he would not amass the wisdom several lifetimes of travel would teach him. His high empathy already sees him with a much more open mind than his peers (he would rather tell a woman he was infatuated with of his feelings first, instead of just going to her family to attempt to arrange to marry her - and he was stymied by fear of rejection, which tells us he would have absolutely accepted "no" for an answer), but he would not have learned of the cultures surrounding his and would never have had reason to believe other religions or practices held any true validity. He would believe what everyone else believed, without ever learning whether any of it was true.

He would be at peace, but he would be only a fraction of what he could be.

What 21st century inventions/advancements would Enoch find the most compelling?

[warriorscribe]

Fun fact, this question was asked in a character interview before the release of the game. Where his buddy Lucifel (prior to them actually being buddies just yet) had rattled off a list of things he loved, Enoch's answer? "If I could, I would like to go there."

I think the things that would intrigue him most are the way life has changed. How new happenings become known to the world in seconds, how a journey that would have taken him a week or more now would only take a day or two at most, how leaving home is never leaving it because you can talk to your family in an instant from anywhere. The way the atmosphere of life has been altered is something one can only understand from direct experience, so if he'd have to pick something - and he doesn't want to choose, he wants to see everything for himself! - it would be that, the way everyday life has been altered in ways he would never have imagined.

Ignoring Lucifel's time traveling jeans, what kind of clothes does Enoch like most? Does he have any particular style preferences of his own?

[warriorscribe]

Well, the clothes that show up thanks to Heaven's everything-runs-on-will thing when he is put in a situation where he absolutely has to be dressed RIGHT THE FUCK NOW include a cape that's too narrow to provide extra coverage? And he also wore a long, comfy-looking scarf on his way upstairs (and stepped all over the ends of it as he started to get tired). Combine that with favoring hooded cloaks and I feel like maybe Enoch likes having warm weights around his neck and shoulders - cloaks, capes, scarves, shawls, etc.

As for style, he's never shown any sign of caring what he looks like unless he has to? I mean, before Heaven, he worked the fields in shorts that had clearly once been pants and he never even bothered to turn in the ends and stitch in new cuffs, he just left these ugly ragged edges.

Wristbands are also a thing he seems to go for if given the choice, and considering he spent literal months just sitting and writing for countless hours every day I suspect that's got a lot to do with comfort. He also plays with his hands and wrists when nervous so he might also fidget with accessories there too? We haven't seen that though, just the finger-clasping/wrist-touching/etc.

We know he's a cuddler but, tell me more about what Everyday Life with Enoch is like. If one was his live-in partner, or even just his roommate, what could they expect?

[warriorscribe]

He'll sometimes get up in the middle of the night and wander around. This is fairly normal, and causes him no distress in itself, he's just restless or had a nightmare or something (or, you know, he's just reverted to sleep patterns he's used to). He also has an unfortunate habit of only tidying up when asked to? But once he's pointed at the task he'll do it diligently. (Also don't be surprised if you find him seated on a table, whether or not there are empty chairs. Any furniture is for sitting on I guess)

He normally doesn't do housekeeping stuff in general but that's because in the majority of households he's ever been in his role has been primarily hard labor. If it's a more modern place with less labor needed he'll take up cooking and stuff. Speaking of cooking! He likes finding out what they like and learning how to make those things.

In fact, he'll go to quite a bit of effort to make anyone he lives with happy. Change of seasons? He'll gladly help make/buy new clothes if needed. Clash of schedules? He can change his! (he loves the sun too much to be totally nocturnal though, for a certain particular case, but he can push his sleep schedule forward by a handful of hours) Any particular needs? He'll do everything in his power to see them met.

He gets bored with no work to do so if he doesn't currently have any and can't join the other person for whatever they do he'll probably wind up taking up a craft of some kind. Or plant a garden if he can. Though a good chunk of that "boredom" is probably difficulty settling down after centuries of not being able to live in one place more than 5-7 years at most. He tries.
