So Logan has a ridiculously keen sense of smell, and I love including references to it in-play.
Rather than just assume or ask everyone I play with at the time, I'd love it if you guys gave me a heads up here.
Yep, that means I want to know what your character smells like. Please copy from the form below and toss it in a comment!


no subject
1. Is there any reason Logan wouldn't be able to pick up on your character's scent? If yes, okay cool, I'd actually love to know why! Nope. Smell your stinky kid all you want, Logan.
2. Alright, assuming #1 isn't "Yes, because-", then what's the primary scent you'd use to describe your character? If they're a chronic cigarette smoker, then they'll probably smell like an ashtray; if they bathe in cologne, tell me about how powerfully shitty that Axe spray is. No answer is a wrong answer!
Laura's primary scent in Sav is honestly probably fresh cut grass/outside since she runs around in region two so often and plays outside at the mansion all day. You know that smell kids have when they play outside at a playground or come in from recess on a Texas afternoon in May? Not sweat exactly, but the sweet smell of grass and dirt and the smell of sunshine warming her skin. I don't know how that's a scent. It just is. So something surprisingly bright and natural/refreshing for a kid that's been through so much shit. If there's access to kid soaps in game, her hair probably smells pretty strongly of that (whenever she washes it). I like to imagine it's some kind of unicorn sparkle scent or something fruity because lol. She doesn't wear perfumes or anything, so the smell of whatever soap is used on her laundry probably also stands out. The longer she spends in Sav, the less she'll smell like the little feral weapon that she was made to be. She'll just smell (mostly) like a regular kid who plays outside a whole lot.
3. OKAY let's get deeper. What? Yeah. Give me at least three other general scent descriptors of your character! What's under that first note? You can be as creative and outlandish as you want with this, so again, no answer is a wrong answer!
She probably also has the scent of rubber on her hands, given how often she plays with her stupid rubber ball. It's her only toy for the time being so she plays with it a lot, and her hands probably smell like it often because she doesn't wash them enough. She also has a metallic scent to her, something heavy and conflicting against the earthy tones that she primarily has to her. There's also the obvious tangy blood undertones because she gives no shits while she's playing and ends up bumped and cut more often than anyone is probably comfortable with. Since Kurt is a terrible influence and gives her sweets, she probably often can smell liked baked goods. Jean introduced her to the library so it will be obvious on days when she spends hours locked away reading inside it because she'll smell like the pages of old books. On nights when she has nightmares, it would be easy to smell the fear/panic rolling off of her in strong waves. Fear and panic has a smell coming off of Laura, it's bitter and intense, a heavy scent that overrides everything else. It might create a sense of urgency, just out of a desire to get rid of it. Annnnd lastly, depending on how much time she spends around him, he'll probably also be able to smell himself on her. From hugs/rough housing/playing around/etc.
4. Any questions/concerns/feedback I should know about? Let me know here!
HOW DOES LOGAN SMELL I NEED TO KNOW.
