For example:
Aisen : “Your heart isn’t pure, nor is it perfect to the world; despite all those factors, you are the one who’s perfect for me”
Carlsen : “I’m not a hero and I’m definitely not a good person. But since when has the antihero never been loved by everyone?”
Cassius : “Yes, to cure people is my job, but to cure people of the past that haunt them is beyond my capabilities”
(a lot of my stories are heavily dialogue-driven so prepare yourself)
Alice: "The fact of the matter is that people change all the time. I'm not the person I once was and 5 years from now I definitely won't be the person I am today. We as people are meant to change, that's what makes us stronger."
Samuel: "What is the meaning of being a true hero? The way I see it, it's not about fighting bad guys or getting the girl. Heck, it's not even about looking cool or being the strongest one out in the field. It's not about making a big appearance or being the most famous person alive, or planning ahead or using your brain to it's fullest. The virtue that makes someone a true hero is the ability to put yourself in harm's way, knowing that any moment you could die, so you can get someone else out of it. Being a true hero means saving people… it's just that."
Cameron: "Power isn't something anyone can just easily grasp. No one's born strong, strength is forged through knowledge and experience."
Berenice: "This. . . ridding me of the burden that was my soul—my humanity— was the best thing you could've done for me."
Kyoko: "There are times where you have to fake it, you know? Someone has to keep it all together up there otherwise. . . you fall apart."
Daniel: "Talk to me when your body is being tossed from Cloaker to Cloaker only to be used for their delight."
Alice: I live off of Sports, Cats, Energy, Stupidity, Failure, Affection, Caprisuns, and. . . . . . . Well, I forgot, BUT I HAD A POINT.
Emmie: Well it's not like I'm not a hero loved by all, a villain despised by all, or even something in between. . . I'm just a sad, idiot, extra, who is a minor to a mild inconvenience.
Zenith: "My entire life, I have been told to be quiet, to follow orders. If you think I'm just going to lay down and take this, you are absolutely right." * pause * "Sike! I'm going to kill you now."
Atsuko:" I've waited over three MILLENIUMS for you, three thousand years of a torturous existence, Akane! I couldn't die, everyone around me eventually turned into dirt we're standing on right now. But not once did I give up hope of finding you. I know you aren't the Goddess anymore, but she lives on in you. Do you really think I wouldn't make the mistake of blurring the two of you together?"
Akane: "I smile because that's what makes others happy! I give and give and give, and I never expect anything in return, because what matters to me is that the people around me are enjoying life. And I forgive… because I don't want to be left alone."
Chise: "I don't like to speak. It's not completely neccesary in day-to-day life, but it's also because I'm afraid of the backlash I'll face when I say something that may be interpreted offensively. Back when I lived with my parents, it happened all the time. I had bruises for even the most minor offenses. Am I really that worthless?"
Rin: "I sympathize with you. I always have thing feeling of frustration that lingers over me, like a stormy cloud. I smile and nod, all while mentally giving the morons a good punch to the jawline. I'm afraid to take action because I know that if I actually get violent, I won't be able to stop myself.
Umiko: "Just shut up! Do us a favor and just go sit in the corner where you can't bother us! Do you even know how lucky you are? You have a loving family who will care for you no matter what, while some of us have bonds that are just barely being held together. Who cares if your daddy never came back, get a grip and move on!"
Ekheim: “Things change, people, places, things all chance and we deal with them in our own ways. If you could understand that we only do this for our survival, perhaps this process could be easier for you to accept.”
And also Ekheim: “We are not one, but many. We are Elderborn.”
Sehkero: “With that change, brother, people resist. They’ve done it before. They’ll do it again. Peace is possible, and there are many ways to do it.”
Image: “Just because I’m younger than what your kind considers adult doesn’t mean I’m less capable. I escaped what your species calls Elderborn; hell, even in their own turf. I hunt them for a living. I hunt the monsters you made to kill the Elderborn and I sell their cores.”
Frenzy: “You gave me life, and we are the reason your kind still lives in this world. I imagine how easy it would be to wipe your kind out if we allied with the Elderborn, but with Image still lurking about, I can’t exactly betray any of you just yet.”
Starry: "I've learned that not all are kind, but I no longer am going to attack those who weren't kind to me."
Mythic Haze: "Do I enjoy my animal side? No. Will I use it to help what we call a pack? Yes."
Shine: "I don't know much about your emotions, but sometimes you need to travel to the next life. Without dying that is. What I'm saying is that you need to move on. Bad things happen and you weren't in control, but you didn't mean to do it."
Snowflake: "I've made a mistake and I'm going to fix it even if I die in the process."
Glaze: "We can make them understand, we're half animal. However, we have emotions like everyone else. Never be ashamed."
Thomas: "It's not stealing, it's obtaining without consent."
Circe/Beserker: "My powers aren't 'stupid' or 'useless'. They weren't 'given to the wrong person'. I wouldn't get rid of them for anything else. I'd rather have a power that's difficult to activate then one that's difficult to deactivate."
Ann/Cyborg: "I may not have been born with powers, but I get to have whatever power I can construct with my prosthetics. Isn't that more powerful in the long run?"
Ziggy/Honeybee: "I'm gentle, not naive. Just because I watch kids shows and sleep with a teddybear doesn't mean I can't defend myself. I'm strong enough that I don't have to act like a jerk just to try and prove a point."
Boar-back: "I am not anyone's father. None of you are my children. For the last time, stop calling me 'dad'." Or: "It sure would be nice if I got to raise these idiot kids right before I died. It won't make up for my crimes, but I'll rest easier if I know they won't immediately crumble into anarchy once I'm gone." make up your mind dude, srsly
Ango: "Does anybody here know what 'highly combustible' means, and why it's written all over this old box I found?" Or: "Um…I don't know, I'm just here because my friends said I had to be."
Brandon: "I never asked for any of the garbage that entered my life–but I guess it's what I get for taking every opportunity life gave me and throwing it back in its perfect face."
Blue Tommy: incoherent murderous snarling
Thirteen: "Want me to give this to dad- I mean Tyson! Fuhuuuck"
Sadao: "You can't win if you've got nothing to lose"
Zach: "Don't waste your lifetime searching for something that isn't yours to find, if it's meant to happen, it'll happen eventually."
Ethyn: "I'm immortal, stop shielding me."
Lique: "I never meant for this to happen" or "Flightless birds can't soar, they only fall."
Mason: "I get tired of hearing sometimes." or "No of course I'm not listening, I'm deaf."
Jon: "Hey, I'll fight with you through hell and back, remember?"
Nich: "Yeah, [being a con artist is] an art form. Acting."
Samuel: "Julianna will have your heads for this. And she'll have mine too."
Therese: "How do you mourn for your brother when the whole damn country knows him better than you did?"
Meg: "It was supposed to be us! We're sisters, we were supposed to stick together!"
Joan: "I still don't get why they chose me, but I guess it's fine."
Oliver: "Everything I've done was for Emily. Every battle, every smuggling operation, every wound."
Nell: "Oh, I work much better with the half-dead than the fully conscious. They don't put pressure on me."
Adrielle: “I burn things for fun. I kill and steal and lie and burn for fun. I like when people hurt, when I can watch as they crumble, bit by bit. And you are one of those weak ones. Don’t think I can’t see past your little image. You’re just like everyone thinks: weak. You will never be strong, never be someone people love, never good enough. So don’t try. You think this bracelet is worth something? You think the person who gave it to you really loved you?”
Hunter: "But yeah, you're here to save the world. Welcome to the lovely land of Elenava, the questing world. It sucks here, and you'll most likely find your 'true self', or some crap like that, blah blah blah. Honestly, I'm not even going to try to do the welcome talk. It's no use."
Adara: "Well, I'll work with you as long as you give me space, keep the Faerie away from me and let me kill things every once in a while."
Richter: Ya know the real difference between you and me Jacquie is I've made peace with my demons, you blasted yours away when you were 8.
Jacqueline: When you come from a long line of monster hunters and demonologists like me, you feel an extra special kind of stupid when your sollution to possessed parents is grandpa's shotgun. It took a while but I finally know what to point it at.
Marrick: You know, it's pretty hard to not blow out your brains right here, right now. I want to do it, but you've got too much money on your head.
Ellie: "I'm always running, but sometimes it seems the more I run the further away I actually get from my goal."
Floyd: "Don't you ever just wish you could just stop, even if it was just for a brief moment, and go back to a time you were a happier man…?"
Jalen: "I'm able to deal with powerful corporations and big strong villains, it's the little things that always get me."
Eriska: “Bite the hand that feeds you, really? And to think that I came here to rescue you out of all people, when I could be out on the fronts, fighting for my people.”
Charok: “I fight because it entertains people. It’s doesn’t entertain me, necessarily, but it does provide me with what I need to survive in this world. If you stopped this, tore this operation down - I would be left, and I may turn back into a Shujokk again.”
Ciqua: “Oh— I can roar, alright. I won’t roar for you, though. Not here at least, and not now. We have a war to fight, and now is not the time for simple tricks that even a child could preform.”
Dominik: "Power is a poison,"
@Torpion yes I'm just waiting until the day I have enough money to put that on a t shirt lol
Malak: “I don’t do that anymore. I..really don’t.”
Louis: "Oh, fuck the royals. When have they ever cared about Bassen?"
Jack: "I still don't remember that day. I think it's for the best."
Trinity: "Will you two either calm down or take this outside? Some of us are trying to work."
Darlene: "Yeah, well, according to the prince I'm just some common whore who should be tossed out into the streets. But I'm not common, and I'm not going back to that life. I'm going with you no matter what."
Carter: "Just because you settled doesn't mean I have to! Not everything is about 'avenging Bassen'!"
Arthur: "He broke my fingers, but he wouldn't let me write with the other hand, he said it was sloppy. So I complied. It's what I do best."
Gabriel: "If I have to hear about that damn agitator one more time, Nest, I'll toss you both to my father."
Cordelia: "We fight for everyone. We fight for our fallen, for those who almost made it. For those who died before making it this far. That, my brothers-in-arms, is why we fight, and that is why I will do everything I can to win this."
Christopher: "I'm not too skilled at talking to commoners. Or to anyone, really."
Eleanor: "So what if I leave? Father's already forgotten that I exist. Only Aunt Sylvia ever notices me here."
Georgie: "D'you think there'll be cake there? Blanche and I are getting hungry, but she can only have white cake, otherwise it's poison. I can share with her, too."
Cahira: “listen i may be dumb but i’m not stupid”
Cassie: "When the world burns and the sky falls, I'll hold your hand and we'll face it together. I'll love you for as long as the stars shine."
Gideon: "I'm not a killer, Jemima. The only blood on my hands is from patching up wounds and shaking your hand."
Jemima: "Any attempt to murder me will almost certainly be highly unsuccessful and lead to your death. So shall we just chat for now?"
