(To start us off…)
Leaving:

1. Is there something you've always wanted to try, but never had the chance? What is it?

2. What was the happiest moment in your life that you can remember?

3. Which 3 people have had the most influence on your life thus far?

Taylor (My only named character)

1) I have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument. I never did because I suck at everything else and I'd probably forget to practice.

2) The happiest moment in my life? Well I can't really remember. There was music, laughing. I remember something soft brushing my face. People were running around, I think I was playing.

3)My father. He has always been most supportive of me, he encouraged me to keep trying even when I failed. I would have given up if it weren't for him. My mother, but in quite the opposite way that my father did. She starting pulling away from me, when she looked at me she always seemed sad and disappointing. I think I was too clumsy and forgetful, and she felt I was already a failure. I tried to make her happy and never made it. She left my dad a few years ago, we rarely speak. She made me want to give up. The Koril. Not a person, a group of people, but they acted together and have made two decisions to royally screw up my life. Kind of sad that there aren't any friends or teachers in there, but my teachers just pitied me or judged me, and well... I don't have any friends.


((Hey I learned something new, I should save this!!!))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Leaving:

1)What is your biggest weakness?

2)If you had to choose between saving the two people most important to you, how would you choose?

3)What do you to relax when you are stressed beyond imagination?

1. I always wanted to go to a country where it is sunny most of the year! How warm and wonderful that would be.
2. When my brother brought me a stone I wanted in my collection for years - I like collecting stones, but my collecion never feels complete, so I keep buying...
3. My friend Violet. I know I can't get on without her. My mother taught me lots of things about fadhion design - not that I'll ever be a designer myself, but.. And father, I like him because he always supports me (my mother says he spoils me, but I know better).
- MC: Mary Evans.
------------------------

1. Do you fear the dark?
2. What's the shortest time you've spent in a relationship?
3. Do you like trying new food?

Dao: I would say my biggest weakness is... impulses. I'm an emotional person, and that can get me into trouble, especially since I'm a thief...

Luke: There are three people most important to me, my wife and children. Oh, glory, I don't know how I would do that. I... I suppose that, logically, I would save Ari, and we would try to the death to save our children.

Ari: I go and find Luke. If he isn't nearby, then I can simply concentrate on his emotions in my mind and try to gain composure from that. If that fails, I'd probably break something.

1) In what way do you best like your loved on?
2) Is there a specific type of music that you feel defines you?
3) What is your favorite element?

Oops someone posted before me. Okay answering angeliclizard's questions:

1- Being left alone. I hate it.
2- That's Violet (my best friend) and my father. That's tough, probably Violet. Dad can do anything, he can take care of himself
3- I let Mother play in my hair and read me a book. I like to read, but I can't do it when I'm stressed.

1. Do you fear the dark?

3. Do you like trying new food?

Christopher Quarry

1. My biggest weakness would probably be insecurity. My girlfriend tells me I need to like myself more. My brother tells me my self-esteem isn't the issue; it's being able to come to a reasonable decision in under a month that I need to work on. I don't know if either of them are right. After all, I've decided I want to ask my girlfriend to marry me, but I haven't gotten up the courage to ask yet.

2. Oh, wow. I'm not sure. It'd be between my brother, Aaron and my unnamed girlfriend. I guess I'd probably pick my brother. He's a pain, but he can reach me in ways my girlfriend can't. It's not that we've been through a lot together—because honestly, nothing happens to us. It's just that we've always been close.

3. I read to relax. There's always been something about escaping to another world...I guess that's why I get in on all of Aaron's zany haunted house schemes, or why I want to write a book someday.

(All I learned is that I need to name Chris' girlfriend...)

Leaving:

1. If you could get away with murder, would you do it and who would you kill?

2. What is one thing you will never, ever do, not for love or money?

3. Who is the one person who really knows you?

Quadruple ninja'd! M'Siro's answers:

Aaron Quarry:

1. Heck, no! I can't with my job!

2. Three hours, two minutes, and thirty-two seconds. It's a long story, don't ask.

3. For the most part, I like to know what it is I'm eating before it goes into my mouth. So no, not really. Chris is more of the food explorer—I prefer sticking to what I already know.

Keep the questions. I'm sure I was Ninja'd again.

1. I'd kill my father, for leaving our family when we needed him the most. That is, if I took to time to track him down. Somehow, I just don't think it's worth the effort.

2. I'd never give up my crusade to save humanity from the scourge that has infiltrated our precious Earth.

3. My wife knows the most about me. Honestly, I don't really let anyone get too close to me, so even Carol doesn't know as much as she thinks she does.

(Wow. Now I have a voice for my main villain -- that's who answered this time. )

My questions:

1. Do you like your job / line of work?
2. What would you change about yourself if you could?
3. What is your greatest weakness?

Alrighty Miss Pendragon, I'll play.

Here's what Zain has to say to you (halfway through his story, after a big helping of trauma):

1. I couldn't possibly, considering how many people want to murder ME. My kidnapper-turned-bodyguard-turned-boyfriend, however, I'm sure he's killed someone. Probably someone who was trying to kill me. So I haven't inquired further.

2. There's nothing I wouldn't do for love since I've been oath-bound since before my birth, but if you leave that part out, you could never pay me enough to eat anything you offer me unless I see you try it first. Learned my lesson.

3. Soren was the first person who I wasn't taught or employed by to actually ask me anything about myself before chalking me up to being a dirty half-breed with bad grades and a the courage and resolve of a fainting goat. So it'd have to be him by default. He did kidnap me and hold me hostage for a while, but he said he's sorry.

And for you -

1. What color looks best on you?

2. If someone you'd never met before in your life told you that they needed five hundred dollars within the next six hours or their mother was going to be shot in the head, would you try to help, regardless of whether or not you believed them?

3. Do you like your middle name, assuming you have one?

*cracks knuckles* For the MC Key.

1- Absolutely. Nothing else is better than having thousands of people going out of their way just to hear my voice.

2- Get rid of the family's curse. It's a pain in the ass to doing something fun and then get dragged off because I'm needed.

3- Women. Most definitely a pretty woman makes me forget about everything else. Well, that and Grandmother. She can be terrifying.

-----------
Leaving:

1- Does religion affects your daily life?
2- If you were stuck on an island with your enemy, what would you do?
3- What's your favorite music?

Ack! Ninja'd...
K. Answering Larking's questions:
1. I'd have trained physically more when I was younger. It seems I have to catch up too much now.
2. I like to credit my study of the saints with my enlightenment. Especially to life and teachings of St. George.
3. I didn't choose to be the hero; it chose me. I'd much rather be sitting at a desk in some boring office job. But someone has to do it, and I guess that someone is me. *cue cheesy fake grin*

I was probably ninja'd again just like Lady Pendragon. In any case -- I won't add more questions 'cause there are probably already more (or at least the ones I asked in my last post).

1. If you could get away with murder, would you do it and who would you kill?

I would happily murder whoever murdered my Mari. I never thought she committed suicide; she wasn't that kind of girl.

2. What is one thing you will never, ever do, not for love or money?

Once I would have said return home, but look at me, going now. Only Jake could make me do this, and he'd never ask unless the situation was dire. So...I don't know anymore.

3. Who is the one person who really knows you?

Jake. Against all odds he took me in and supported me after the fire that killed my mother. I didn't find out until nearly a yEar later that he knew the fire had been my fault. I killed the woman he loved--that we both loved--and he still raised me like his own. Never could understand why, but I owe him everything.

--------

Okay, my three:

1) What is the thing you desire most, and yet is farthest out of reach?
2) What is the food you most want to eat again but, for whatever reason, rarely have?
3) What one language do you most wish to learn?

1. If there was one thing in your life, whether that you did or something in your world but out of your control, that you could change, what would it be?

I would have saved my mom. I would have made sure no one could hurt her.

2. Was there someone whose life, perception of the world, or beliefs affected you so that your current life is what is it today?

Lady Kyra. She taught me about honor even as her people taught me to survive.

3. Why do you do the job you're doing/assigned/forced into? Any motivations, like/dislikes, etc?

I do my job because I have to. I have the right mindset and imagination to pull it off and I have the desire to see it done. I like that I can have fun and let my true nature free while I'm doing it, I don't like it when it means I have to kill.




1. What will you do when it's all over?
2. If you had to choose, would you to side with the Angels or the Demons?
3. In the end, what would you take, the money or the girl/guy?

Pëidïn Hëmria, the bastard of Tolïsh castle.

1. Tolïsh house colors, red and green.

2. shot? only three or four people are powerful enough on Ubrïm to be able to use magic in such a way, I'm sure my father, Lord Dëkradïn Tolïsh could pay without batting an eye.

3. my middle name is Tolïsh, signifying I am a bastard who was recognized by his father. for that I am grateful to the old man.

1. what was the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

2. who is your best friend and why?

3. what is your favorite food?

blargh, I was ultra-ninja'ed, but i have to go to bed now - answer my questions if you wanna. XD

Klyte:

1. what was the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

It's either being left out on the streets after my parents left and never returned, or... getting assassinated by Visere's Liars. Admittedly the last one was more of a life-and-death situation, but the first one is still scary. I was only four, okay?

2. who is your best friend and why?

Nephele. She stuck with me when we were on the streets. She's like me, but her parents aren't dead - they just threw her out. She's helped me along and we've been there for each other, so it's only natural, I guess.

3. what is your favorite food?

Why does everyone ask this? I don't know, I just eat whatever I can steal, and that's usually good enough. I do like soup though. Creamy chicken soup on a cold winter's evening.

--

1. If you could give your life for something, what would it be?

2. If you had all the power in the world, what would you do?

3. Do you believe in fairies?

Akir Chanimnya, one of my MC's. Charíí, and a slave.

1. what was the scariest thing that ever happened to you?
A whipping. Not the worst one, but on that occasion I was pinned down with my face in the sand. Couldn't get any air, almost choked to death. Still have nighmares about that one.

2. who is your best friend and why?
A Tarian Prince, can you believe it? He saved my life, messed up my mind … and that was before I knew he's really my blood-brother. Yeah, the world is a strange place...

3. what is your favorite food?
Hard to say. Fresh berries are always nice, though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ooops, was to slow. I just shake another MC awake too....

Mateo Enessel, a Tarian Prince

1. If you could give your life for something, what would it be?
Right now? To free the Charíí slaves.

2. If you had all the power in the world, what would you do?
See question 1.

3. Do you believe in fairies?
No, but I have reason to believe in demons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.Where did you grow up?
2.What do you do on your spare time?
3.Name a place you really would like to visit!

1. England. Nottinghill to be precise. I always lived there.
2. Read novels. Collect stones. Stay with mum or dad. Or visit Violet, my best friend.
3. Any warm and sunny country would do! Maybe Egypt, I'd love to visit Khan Al-Khalily. I'm sure I'll find a thing or two, to add to my collection of stone!
(MC: Mary Evans)
-------------------

1- What hurts worse, body or feelings injury?
2- What's the worst dream you've ever had?
3- Do you like flowers?

1. Body, no doubt about it. Just ask anyone who's been chewed up good and spit out again in a fight.

2. Ehhh? Like nightmares? The being buried alive ones were always the worse.

3. Sure, I guess. Not really my thing. But hey, when all it takes is picking some weeds to get into a gal's knickers... I'm all for it.

leaving:

1. Favourite season, or time of the year, what would it be and why?
2. If you had the choice to do anything with your life, what would it be?
3. If you're on the road out in the middle of nowhere, and had to stop and rest - for whatever reason, how long would take you to get things in order so that you could lay down for a few hours?

Geekling's questions:
1. Favourite season, or time of the year, what would it be and why?
- November, for sure! Love the rain and the wind. And sitting in my warm room with my book, or chattering with Violet, my friend!

2. If you had the choice to do anything with your life, what would it be?
Marry the best looking man, and have the biggest house, the largest library. And most importantly, but every collectible stone, to complete my own collection. Humble ans simple wishes, I know, but that's what I really want.

3. If you're on the road out in the middle of nowhere, and had to stop and rest - for whatever reason, how long would take you to get things in order so that you could lay down for a few hours?
Immediately! Violet would find the best spot. Dad would make the camp, Mum would make the food. And of course, I'll help anyone who asks for my help.
