07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?

In terms of catchphrases, Janus tends to use a lot of train terminology in his speech the same way his dads do. This was something he simply picked up due to growing up in and around the Battle Subway and while he’ll sometimes play up the puns for fun, a lot of it is subconscious. Otherwise, when he doesn’t really know what to say (or doesn’t want to respond) he usually just goes “Ah” with a big :> smile. Janus’s “Ah” can mean anything from “That’s nice but I don’t really care” to “Oops, haha I just messed up this will be fun” to “Do you realize what you just said honey you’ve got a big storm coming.”

15. Is there a certain person in this world that they cannot stand? The very mention of this person’s name makes them tremble with anger or fear.

Janus simply isn’t really the type to hate someone that much, a trait he gets more from Ingo than Emmet or Cordy (who can both hold a mean grudge). He certainly has people he doesn’t like, but he’d simply rather not waste the energy getting angry about them. There are much better things he can be doing with his time. That’s not to say he’s above retaliation if someone hurts him or those he cares about though. He takes threats deadly serious and will step up to defend himself/others if he feels the need, but he just won’t go out of his way to track someone down for revenge or get upset about them after the fact. Once he deals with a situation/person, he’s done with them, even if it’s just pretending they don’t exist. He has a pretty high tolerance for annoying people though as long as they’re ultimately harmless – in fact he loves those types of people since they’re fun to mess with!

42. Is there anything in your character’s past that they regret, haunts them, or they wish they could change?

Well…. this really hinges on when in his story we’re talking about. During the earlier days of his journey – not really! Janus is the type who’d rather move on quick than linger with regrets. And at that point, he’s had a pretty straightforwardly happy childhood. Nothing that upsetting has happened to him. Later on, he begins to accumulate some regrets, however. He wishes he was there more for Bertie, then maybe… If only he had spent more time at home, then maybe his dad… He doesn’t like to dwell on these thoughts, preferring to take action, especially since that has worked in the past to resolve things (Bertie came home safe and they’re still on good terms!), so he keeps that attitude when looking for Ingo.

Of course… none of that really ends up mattering when he loses his memory on his way to Falling into Hisui. Amnesiac Janus is still Janus though, so he doesn’t really let his missing memories bother him. Sure, there are half-remembered things he’d sure love to recall – like why he came here in the first place, but the way he sees it, trying to force things isn’t going to make the memories return sooner and moping over them isn’t productive, so he’s just doing his best to live his life in this strange new place. Finding out who he is and what (who) he’s forgotten is a goal, but it’s not the only thing he’s focusing on. Once everything is said and done, Janus doesn’t regret coming to Hisui one bit. He made new friends and a new found family, found his dad, and helped save the world – how could he regret that?
