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.

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.

Larking — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:16:04 -0500

Answering: 1. If you could get away with murder, would you do it and who would you kill? As boring as it is, no, I wouldn’t kill anyone, even if I could get away with it. I might gripe about the existence of certain government bodies, but I wouldn’t actually kill anyone. Anyway, considering my line of work, I’d end up running into them anyway. 2. What is one thing you will never, ever do, not for love or money? Inform the Division of Occult Investigations of a group of unknown Occult. It’s un-neighborly and, not to mention, just asking for trouble. 3. Who is the one person who really knows you? Sadly, I’d have to say the Manager. Leaving: 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? 2. Was there someone whose life, perception of the world, or beliefs affected you so that your current life is what is it today? 3. Why do you do the job you're doing/assigned/forced into? Any motivations, like/dislikes, etc?

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?

doorknobofakender — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:26:35 -0500

*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?

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?

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? Well, I'd like to help, but there's no way I can get my hands on that kind of money. I might be able to convince Mateo to help, though. 3. Do you like your middle name, assuming you have one? Sure, it's ok. Sondyde is the surname of my mother's line, as Chanimnya is my father's line.

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.

Trying this again, now that the forum is a wee bit slower. Maybe i won't get ninja'd this time. :D 1) Do you like hiking? Love it. I spent most of my life near the woods, and it was my escape. I'd sometimes spend entire weekends out there in warm weather, sleeping under the stars, and dragging myself to school in the same clothes I'd left in Friday. It's no wonder people thought I was a bit nuts. 2) What's your favorite book? Any I've written, of course. *chuckle* No, not really, that would be far too egotistical. I'd have a hard time picking, actually, so many speak to me. 3) Lots of friends or a chosen few? A chosen few, and even those don't know much about me. I rarely get close to people. --------------------------------------------------- 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?

And now, presenting my clueless farm boy Lain (who does not turn out to have been a prince the entire time!): 1. What did you have for breakfast? Stew, ale, and some toast. Oh, and some eggs, and some fish . . . 2. Guinea hen or guinea pig? What's a guinea pig? 3. Least favorite personality trait in one of your friends? Aefyk is a haughty git. Always looking down his nose at me. ---------------------------------- 1. If you could own any animal, which one would you want for a pet/companion/familiar? 2. Do you play music of any kind? What instrument? 3. What do your meals look like every day? What's your favorite food? Your least favorite? Why?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Vincent des Coeurs — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 08:07:38 -0500

In answer to Arlecchina's questions: 1) Well, what kind of animal I'd want for pet/companion/familiar? A wolf, of course. Preferably a nice, black one. That would remind me of myself, how I was, before I turned human. Oh, and extra points if it could speak!... I'd sell my soul for a companion like that... (at least, I would, if I hadn't sold it already ;) ) 2) I don't really know if I play an instrument. Never tried. But, like a lot of things, I tend to succeed in my first go. Or, if it's something difficult, in my second. So I just might pick up playing the lute or something. That'll go great with my own whistling ^^. 3) It really depends on a lot of different things what my meals look like. Am I locked up in a dungeon - no meal, probably. Have I passed out and woken up after lunch - no meal either. Am I sharing with my little girl Maya? Than no meal as well... Luckily, I eat just about anything, though I have a sweet spot for apples - those delicious forbidden fruits. My least favorite is old bread, which, unfortunately, is most of the food any traveller will eat. Or perhaps any kind of vegetable - I'm a werewolf, not a bunnyrabbit! -Terrance Longeway -=-=-=-=- So, for the next person: 1: What are you dreaming off, when you're asleep? 2: Does God exist? 3: And what would you sell your soul for?

As answered by Gog: A misunderstood troll. 1. Trolls don't sleep very often (At least not trolls in HER made up world) The men are trained to guard the rest of the pack. Even as a child, I was brought up this way. I may only be ten years old, but I don't forget my duties, even now that the one I'm helping guard is a princess. 2. Trolls don't have a God. Why would a God allow so much bloodshed? I'm only a child-troll but I've seen more blood then a full grown human man. All on the same day when they killed my family. 3. According to man, trolls do not have souls. I don't know if that is true or not. Princess Lia tells me I'm not such a bad person, even though I did peep in her window that one time. She also said I had good manners and better grammar then herself. I shouldn't feel proud of her praise, but when she said her tutor would probably rather tutor me, I couldn't help feeling a bubble of pride. When she asked me if I could read, too, I replied, "Well I am a troll, not a barbarian!" OH, back to the question at hand. I guess if I could have my family back, and my people could live in peace, the way we want to live, then I'd sell my soul for that or I'd sell my soul for people no longer judging others just by the way they look on the outside. --- 1. If you had to choose between looking like me (a troll), or you could have beauty if you sacrificed kindness, which would you choose? 2. Trolls don't feel much physical pain, how about you? What's the worse sort of pain you can imagine? Physical or mental? 3. I've lost my whole family. What have you lost that you'd do anything to have again. If you haven't lost anything, what do you fear losing?

(this is another character, just couldn't resist having one more go - Vincent des Coeurs' set of questions if the order gets lost.) 1. I don't know, to be truthful. Some people remember sleeping-dreams, I'm not one of them. But I figure if my sleeping-dreams are anything like my daydreams. Copulation and love probably frequent them pretty regularly. Especially after Sister May have managed to sneak in another one of those books from outside the convent. 2. Which one? Not that it really matters. Gods are fairytale creatures so no. They do not exist in any meaningful way. 3. Some way to have all of what I desire, and keep my way of life. Have a family, fall in love, children, experience the pleasures of copulation they talk about in Sister May's books. but without having to renounce my vows to the order. Because giving that up... that's just too scary. --- Leaving: 1. What is the best dish you've ever eaten? 2. What's your normal morning routine? 3. Who or what would you kill for?

Let's see, let's see~ Who should I do character building on. /consults character list Right, Katsuragi, our ex-vice commander, and mathematician extraordinaire. 1. What is the best dish you've ever eaten? Damn, I don't know. Well, there was this one time I was in Heidelberg, doing my thesis. And then we were redoing the Stamford Experiment, because, y'know, budgets. You needa spend it all, so that they won't cut back next year. Anyway, we were trying to figure out whether the reports about the guards were justified, and then we headed down to the cafeteria. I dunno whether they heard, but we got balut for breakfast. Can you imagine it? Like, there were 200 prisoners. They made 2 for each. 400 balut. They were some mighty fine chefs though, I have gotta say. 2. What's your normal morning routine? 7am, wake up in the morning. Brush my teeth, hair, grab something to eat, usually cereal. And then, y'know, continue on my bucket list. I have gotta get started on the one about a hostage crisis. Game theory and psychology, y'know? 3. Who or what would you kill for? My son, mainly. I mean, the boy's an idiot, but he's a brilliant kid. And he's about as insane as me, which is a great thing. And, well, I didn't expect him to get a George Cross.

Answering: 1) Describe your education to us. Assuming you want information on how much of the school system I've made my way through, the answer is: not much to describe. I lived most of my life on the streets. I spent time in a middle school classroom for awhile, which was about as far as I got. I did get my GED later though, and if I can include knowledge I have, but don't have a diploma in, I could probably have a PhD in history with my published document focusing on the Gold Rush ages of San Francisco. 2) Death is but the next great adventure. What do you think? Unfortunately they're right. 3) How vivid are your dreams? You have to sleep to dream, so this question isn't really applicable to me. Leaving: 1. 10. What is your greatest fear? Why? 2. 11. What do you want most in the world? What is stopping you from getting it (if anything)? 3. 12. If you could change one thing about yourself, physical or otherwise what would it be?

Katsuragi again. What is your greatest fear? Why? Losing the people I love, I guess. You ever seen the movie "Taken"? The one with Liam Neeson, where he does crazy shit to a human trafficking ring? I'd say it was inspired by me, but no. Nobody is stupid enough to admit to their crime by writing a screenplay about it. What do you want most in the world? What is stopping you from getting it (if anything)? I want a ham radio. With a Apache built around it, because, damn, I actually know how to fly one of those things. It's one of those things you pick up when you run crazy experiments on game theory for your doctorate, y'know? What's stopping me? Well, fuel prices. They ain't cheap, son. And where the hell do I park a helicopter? A parking lot? The parking fines will be fu- *transmission lost* *transmission regained* If you could change one thing about yourself, physical or otherwise what would it be? Age. I ain't young. I can't do the stuff I used to do. Well, except for the part where I talk my way out of almost anything, and the sense of direction. Those, yeah. Running flat out for a mile, I'll most probably die of a heart attack once I'm done. Questions: 1) Tell me something vivid that happened in your childhood. There was this one time, where I accidentally took coffee. You have no idea how difficult it was to get outta that mess. Hoo boy~ 2) When did you get your first tattoo, and if you don't, would you get one? I don't have one. None that you need to know about. 3) What's your favorite part of your body? I'm not even gonna answer that one. >.>

1. Well, when I was about ten, there was this pit bull in the neighborhood. He was really nasty, violent, barked at the kids when they went by on their bikes. My parents always talked about how it was a menace to the community and that someone should tell the owners to get rid of it. Too bad. The people who owned the dog never really took care of it. Threw it leftovers every now and then, but mostly left it alone in the backyard, even during a storm. One day, I was walking down the street, just getting some fresh air because my parents had been on me about staying inside too much. I started passing the Pit Bull House (that's what all of us kids called it) when the dog started up barking. I looked at it, through the chainlink fence that outlined the backyard. I figured it was just making noise, like always. Then, just as I looked back at the sidewalk, I heard this rattling, jerking sound. The dog came running at me, snarling and barking. I started to run, but it tackled me. I scraped up my hands on the way down. That was the worst I got because a second later my dad shot the dog straight through. Turns out, it had been digging up the ground around the fence. It ripped right through it. It scared me more than anything. Got me angry too. "Why," I asked my parents, "did those people keep that dog if they knew it was dangerous?" They couldn't answer me. Didn't matter, anyway. The dog was dead, and I was safe. 2. No tattoos. My parents don't like them, but they say it's up to me if I want one after I get out of college. I don't think I will though. How would that look when I turn eighty? 3. I like my hair, even though I get a lot of grief about it. It's red, long, not the kind of hair most guys wear. I like it though.

Virgo plays the lottery whenever it catches his attention and he happens to have a couple bucks on hand. He's that guy standing at the counter with the lottery ticket, scratching it off... he can't wait, he has to find out RIGHT THEN if he's won or not. Capricorn doesn't bother. He knows the probability of winning and it's not worth his time. Virgo absolutely positively fears being crippled. It's not so much the pain or the losing of a limb as the fact that people would pity him or, worse, laugh at him. He wouldn't be able to go on knowing that. (There's also the distinct fear that such a thing would disappoint Cap.) Capricorn fears being trapped, confined or tied down. He wants to live his life as he so chooses, and not having that freedom would probably cause him to, well... shuffle off this mortal coil in a rather direct way. Virgo never has less then the most energy. He's all go, all the time. Capricorn, on the other hand, is very much a night person. It's a tad terrifying to try and interact with him during morning hours. ----> 1. What are your character's views on marriage? 2. Would your character ever date somebody of their same gender?

1. What are your character's views on marriage? Katsuragi thinks marriage is a beautiful thing, but that one shouldn't be so constrained by it. He thinks that marriage is like a trade treaty between two nations. Sure, you're supposed to put the other person first and all, but that doesn't mean you can't do it with other people. 2. Would your character ever date somebody of their same gender? Or, if they're homosexual, somebody of the opposite gender? Why or why not? Katsuragi is quite sure nobody likes 60 years old guys. That said, he wouldn't mind going out with people of the same gender, though he has a line which he doesn't cross. If you can describe it with a baseball metaphor, he's not doing it. So, no hitting a home run, or even reaching first base with him. It's mainly because he likes cultivating an image of him being a chivalrous pervert. He won't mind spending long nights just chatting about whatever comes to their minds, because that means he doesn't need to bring out the baseball metaphors, and because it feels romantic, and he doesn't need to do much. 3. What animal do they most relate with? Why? Katsuragi likes to think it's a bird of prey. They soar majestically in the sky, and when they swoop in for the kill, they usually succeed.

He's incidentally banned because for his Game Theory thesis, he almost set off a schism in MIT. Considering the average intelligence of the people in MIT, that isn't a good idea. 2. Does your character have any pets? Katsuragi doesn't really have pets. He used to own a dog, but then his son picked up one of his books on improvised explosives. Nope, no more pets. It's also one of the reasons why they are kinda estranged, and why Katsuragi left just after the attacks started. 3. How old is your character? 60 or so, chronologically speaking.

Virgo's greatest talent is that he manages to overcome every single goshdamn situation his idiocy manages to get him into. (Though, technically, it could also be his proficiency with weapons. Who knows.) Capricorn's greatest talent is his capacity to learn and adapt quickly, which helps him get out of the situations Virgo lands him in. It also makes him a great strategist. Virgo doesn't even know how to play poker. Capricorn could probably be pretty good at it, if he put his mind to it. Virgo is a charismatic, outgoing, violent and probably psychotically deranged arse. He's rude and doesn't apologize for it: half the time it's because he's too dense to realize he did something wrong, the other half it's because he was too stubborn to admit it. He gets a rather sick pleasure out of stabbing, ripping, dismembering and gutting, and there's nothing he loves more then the screams of his victims as he mows them down. Although at times he can be a pleasant and perfectly friendly fellow to talk to, most of the time he's just a mass murderer with a penchant for spilling blood. Capricorn is a moody, socially awkward bookworm who delights in killing just as much as Virgo does, though he's far more clinical and sterile about it. He secretly thinks he's really damn smart, due to how much time he takes reading books during a time when most people don't read at all, and takes a secret pleasure out of being smarter then most people... especially when he gets to rub said facts in their faces. However, the one warm spot on his cold undead heart is Virgo, his partner in crime who he actually ENJOYS helping to learn. Other then this one humanizing emotion, though, Capricorn is just as cold and emotionless as the robotic world that surrounds him. 1.

I guess you could say that my singing sucked. I don't sing much anymore. 2. I don't nap as much as the other kids, in church or in class. I don't like that thought of being humiliated in front of the class for something so innocent. I'd rather find a way to wake up Mr. Sampson when he turns down his hearing aid for our in-class tests.

1. Does your character have a plan for their future, and if so, what? Visere: I marry the princess. The king mysteriously dies and I become the new king. I wipe out the vigilantes. I lower taxes and make a generally nicer kingdom for my citizens so they don't revolt. There, you now know the whole plot of this novel. Klyte: *mutter* Villains. I don't have a plan because everything's always changing. I don't trust anything Visere says, which is why I have a hard time planning things, because I rely on Visere for my basic knowledge of the palace. 2. Does your character have a favorite genre of music? Klyte: Upbeat stuff, I don't care what. Those songs those minstrels play make me fall asleep faster than anything. Visere: On the contrary, I happen to like those songs. 3. Does your character play video games. Klyte: What? Visere: I don't know what they are, so they must not exist in this world Klyte: Because you know everything, oh great and mighty king. Visere: Yes. I'm glad you think so. ** 1.

Elliot: 1. If you could be any animal, what would it be? An animal? Hmm... I'd be... some sort of bird, I guess. Maybe an arctic tern, constantly flying everywhere, seeing the world and not being tied down to one place. 2. Most interesting memory? When my dad gifted me a yacht and named it after me.... Good lord, that was embarrassing. It was funny, though. 3. You can bring one person back to life. Who is it? My mother.

Jonah'll field these ones, and he'll do them right. 1. What languages would you most like to learn? Well, I've already got all the ones I need to use. Latin seems impressive, and ladies like French, I think... I don't know. Ask me when it's relevant. 2. What is your most valued item and why? Summer. God damn, do I miss that car. '74 Cadillac Coupe Deville, copper, runs like white water. Found it at a police auction for $700 when I was seventeen years old. I lost my virginity in that car. I nearly bled to death in that car. So, of course, my dad drove it to Vegas, sold it and lost the money. Finally, finally now, I can go back and get what's mine. That city's not going to hell without paying me back first. 3. What are 3 essential items you would buy at a wal-mart? Right now, or in general? Cigarettes, beer and AA batteries, I suppose. Always wind up needing those when you least expect to. *** 1.

1. Is there anything you particularly need to do before you die? Visere: Make sure the kingdom is in order. I don't have an heir, so civil war will probably break out. Klyte: Be happy on the last day of my life. And NOT lie. Not even once. I'm so sick of lying. 2. Do you have a family, or want one someday? Visere: My parents died, my wife died a few months after I married her... But I loved her. I really did. I'd do anything for her back. Klyte: Author likes to write orphans, so I'm one too. But Nephele is my family, kind of. Well, I-- *stammers* I'd like a family. Yeah. Cori: Ceon's my brother, but he doesn't get me, y'know? He's nice. He just doesn't appreciate me for who I am. 3. What do you think will happen after you die? Visere: Nothing. Klyte: I don't know, there are so many theories I don't know which to believe. Heaven, I suppose? But I don't know where a person like Visere - or me - would go. Hell then, for betraying Cori? But I did the right thing... in my eyes... Cori: Heaven. Please. ** 1. Can you draw?

Would you sacrifice yourself to save your friends? Larina: My friends apparently wouldn't need saving but if I had a close enough friend then I would in a heartbeat. Akuma: Been there didn't do that. Toshiko: I would just save them. I am immortal. 3. What was your firsts date like? Larina: Great for a first date. We played laser tag and had buffet pizza. Akuma: Dreadfully boring. I had permission from my father to make him burn. *evil laughter* Toshiko: I have yet to be on a date.

I take the bus and taxis sometimes, but mainly I walk. 3) What is your dream? I don't have a "dream" per say. I'm a pretty simple guy.

May, who works in the gift shop and there's Don - but he doesn't really do friends. 2. Do you have any enemies? No enemies, really. Just the good guys, who keep trying to kill me for no apparent reason. Gits. 3. What is your earliest memory? My earliest memory - eating a fairy cake at my sister's birthday party.

After all she's done for me, I'm really afraid I might end up accidentally killing her. I couldn't live with myself it that happened. Well, I can't live with myself as it is, but you probably understand what I mean. 3 - Run as far away as possible from anyone I care about.

My name is Linda Paige, and Ms. Mnemophage tasked me with answering these pointless inquiries. We begin. 1) What music can you not stand?! That's a ridiculous question. I AM a musician. There's value in all of it. I suppose, if you can't accept that answer, that I can supply a new one. I hate bad music. No matter the style, if there's no artistry or talent, then there's nothing I can do with it. 2) Are you happy with your life? I've never been happy. I've never been miserable, either. If I have to qualify things, I'd say that I'm content - there's nothing I lack for, and nothing I hope for. 3) Can you write a decent poem? I can try, but I've learned that people have very different interpretations of "decent", and I have no interest in altering my patterns of speech to accommodate them. *** 1.

He died overseas when I was just old enough to understand what death meant. But from what I remember, he was a kind man. A gentleman. Never impatient; tolerant of others. Alec: Inspirational figures, I guess. Ghandi. MLK Jr. That sort of thing. No one I know personally. Drew: Zeke, actually. Don't tell him I said that.

So many people have it so wrong: they have convinced each other that we are evil, purely because they are ashamed of who they are, what they were born as, and do not want to admit that we are right. 2) What kind of weather do you enjoy? It used to be that nothing was better than sunshine with a gentle breeze, but it is now that bit more efficiant to work in the darkness of a cool cloudy night. 3) What famous person, living or dead, would you like to enjoy diner with? Ph, I could give you one of the common answers: Merlin, Flamel, Ravenclaw, one of the old wizards. But I must say that I would choose Grindelwald; don't you agree that he had such tecnique?

1. Maybe. Yes. But not before I find the right person, who understands my delicate nature, and who is good-looking enough for me and, of course, who is rich enough. 2. Indeed! I haven't seen any girl with darker, more beautiful or more shiny hair than mine. I like my blue eyes, which is lucky because usually I don't like the colour blue. My nose is straight enough for my liking. I only have trouble with my really pale skin. I wish it could be a little darker without having to apply something to it. 3.

Hot showers on a cold day feel way better than a cold shower on a hot day. Although if I'm near a beach, hot weather. Naturally. 3. What affects your level of functioning in different tasks, the most? When other people say it can't be done. I mean, look at what we've got. There ain't no way in hell we could have done that if we listened to common sense, y'know? When people say it can't be done, it's like a personal challenge.

Answering: 1) Do you ever act petulant and mess things up? Not since I was a teenager. 2) When necessary, can you apologize sincerely? When necessary. 3) Is honesty the best policy? No. Leaving: 1) Have you ever killed another human being? Why? 2) What event in your life do you consider to have shaped your personality most? 3) Do you bear grudges? Why, or why not?

Spuggey — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:17:59 -0500

Xavi: 1) Have you ever killed another human being? Why? Unfortunately, yes. It was in self defence, I mean... He was shooting at me and I'd already been shot once that day so... It shook me up. Badly. It's not something I'd wish on anyone. *sad smile* 2) What event in your life do you consider to have shaped your personality most? Short term, my treatment at the hands of Knox and Dahlgren. They showed me the depths of depravity human beings will go to for personal gain. That's sad. Beyond the physical pain is just the... Horror... of knowing that people, PEOPLE, can completely disregard another's life. Long term, my time on the streets, for a similar reason. Being stepped over, like trash. And I'm a good person. Maybe I've made mistakes, but deep down... I'm a good guy and I wish the world would recognise the decency in people, regardless of who, or what they may be. Knox had power, and she was the lowest. I was a tramp, but I'd never treat anyone the way she treated people, even those who cared for her. 3) Do you bear grudges? Why, or why not? Yes. There's certain people, mentioned before, that I will never forgive. ------------------------------------ Here's yours: 1) Do you abide by the law? 2) Do you think most people are decent? 3) How good are you at general knowledge quizzes?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Larking — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:47:38 -0500

Answering: 1) Do you abide by the law? For the most part, yes. There are a few things, however, that I prefer to... think of as not applicable. 2) Do you think most people are decent? Which people? All people? Regular people? Sure. 3) How good are you at general knowledge quizzes? Haven't ever taken one. Since I'm not sure what constitutes as "general knowledge," I also have no clue how I would do. Leaving: 1. Which chore or responsibility that is yours do you hate or resent the most? 2.

(there isn't any bottled water in a store to buy for them ... their version of water bottles would be tap water that you coud carry with you in a bottle....) 2.Have you ever kissed anybody, Zita: Of course I have. Mateo: *shrugs* Me too. Akir: Well, I'm married ..... *smiles* Deccala: ..... Yes. 3. how do you feel about this person? if you haven't, then do you like anybody? Zita: "This person"? *grins* Um, actually I've lost count. And, for the record, no thre's none there I got any feelings for. Deccala: You don't love anyone? Zita: I didn't say that. I just don't love any of those I've kissed. Deccala *wide eyed* Then why kiss them....? Zita: *grins again* Come back when your're grown up a bit more and I might just tell you.

Elliot: 1. Are you happy with your life right now? Hmmm, content, yes. Happy... I'm not so sure. Could be better, but it's not like I'm stationed overseas in some deadly warzone or something, haha. (Whoops, did I knock on wood?) 2. What's the thing you really crave for breakfast? Scrambled eggs, pancakes and orange juice! I guess I'm still a kid at heart, but coffee is actually pretty revolting. I don't drink it unless I absolutely need to. 3. Do you play? If so, what, and are you good at it? My mother's wish was for me to learn to play the viola, so my father made sure to follow through with that even after she died. I don't play very much nowadays, but when I was younger I played often in rehearsals and family events. My father wanted me to learn a second instrument so that I could join the Military band!

1. What are three things you'd like to accomplish before you die? 2. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? 3. Is there anyone who inspired you or who you especially hold dear? 1. What are three things you'd like to accomplish before you die? Lindsay: well would a having a long and happy marriage count as an accomplishment? If so, then that's what i want. Eric: Well i agree with Lindsay. Lindsay: and the other two things.... I guess i'd like to have designed costumes for a few movies, and maybe be a clothes designer for the Royal Family. Of Elvia. Eric: I'd want to paint or draw something really big, like the wall of a temple or palace. And find a cure for complete blindness or deafness. Chris: i would like to be on the council of the Great Xandian Theatre. If i were on the council, i could write plays! or design the sets! or help decide what play to do! it would be awwweeesome. I'd like to be famous, too. for acting and singing acting. And i want to design a room for the king! 2. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Chris: A princess. As I got older though, I started helping my mom move the furniture around, and suggested colors of paint for the walls, and i was constantly redoing my bedroom. Lindsay: I must've had more guts back when i was a kid, because i wanted to be a singer. And I have always liked drawing clothes. When i was younger it tended more towards princesses in ball gowns. Eric: Well, I wanted to be a vet. My dad was a doctor, so i thought he could teach me some stuff. He did, but not about healing animals. I grew up helping him. He had a small office that wasn't really a doctor's office. It was just a old abandoned house down the road where he set broken bones, gave medicine to people who were sick. He didn't just know a little, though, he knows a ton. I basically got all my knowledge of healing from him. 3. Is there anyone who inspired you or who you especially hold dear? Lindsay: A lot of people inspire me. Particularly these two. Chris is my best friend, and Eric is my fiance, and then there's John, my brother. Eric: anybody I hold especially dear... Lindsay. Chris is a good friend. Life wouldn't be so...... interesting...... if she wasn't here. Chris: whadaya mean by interesting? Crazy? Hectic? Eric: yep. Chris: thought so. you guys love me anyways. Lindsay: we do. Chris: well my mom inspired me a lot. She would always encourage me to be myself, and tell me put my whole self into whatever i was doing, so it would be the best that it could. And these guys are really special to me, too. And so is John. 1. What's the worst thing you've ever done? 2. What do you hate? 3.

I'm closest to Christine, and then Lindsay. Christine: I'm closest to Lindsay and John and Eric. 2. What is your favorite childhood memory? Lindsay: Well it was really fun that time when my family and Eric's family all went camping together. Eric: yeah that was fun. except for the frogs. Lindsay: don't talk about the frogs.

Andrew "Jimmy" Branch 1. The first serious book I read was Night. It's fascinating to read about dark times in history, and the people who managed to live through them. It gives you hope for the people of today. 2. Not exactly... I was never the academic type, that was why I dropped out of high school. Book-work is just not my strong point. 3. My parents gave me the middle name Camden. It was my grandfather's name. He was a bastard and a deadbeat nothing; I dropped it as soon as I was old enough. ~*~ 1.

Theo: You inflict yourself on people and wear them down until they're too shell shocked to tell you to go away! Prue: Also, I pay your half of the rent when you're too broke to afford it. Theo: I love you. 2. What would you change about yourself, if you could change one thing? Theo: You know, this should be a no-brainer. I've dreamed about being normal my whole life. Cie: So if you had the chance to get rid of your gift for good, would you take it? Theo: Gift? I don't even know if it's a gift. I have to be careful all the time so I don't break things! It took me ages to learn how to give someone a hug without bruising their ribs! When I was twelve, I ripped our front door off its hinges by accident! I almost broke Fatma's nose the first time we met! This morning, I crushed my alarm clock just trying to turn it off! How the hell is that a gift? Cie: So you do want to get rid of it then? Theo: ...no. This is who I am. I don't know how to be anything else. Cie: That's what I thought. Fatma: (in a very very small voice) I would like to be able to make friends easier.

From the desk of Marilee Jhone: 1: The most important aspect of any life is the balance between the external and internal lives. If one is out of synchronization with the other, both will be affected in large ways. 2: I'm something of a mid-day person by nature, and I usually finish my work and get home around 2300. But as for bed, I'm almost always there before 0100. 3: Pasta, obviously. It's easier on a vegitarian diet, and easier to make when in a hurry. ----- 1: Do you believe that the ends justify the means? 2: How long does it take you to wake up every day? 3: Why did you do whatever it is you did to end up wherever it is that you are?

1: Do you believe that the ends justify the means? Quinn: To a degree. I believe that if you have the power and the means to change the world for the better, you have the obligation to do so. Most people have no idea what's happening right under their noses every day. They need to be protected, even if it means using unorthodox methods. Theo: Like spying at them through security cameras and hack into their lives. You know, I still have a problem with that. Quinn: Your idea of helping was to put on a mask and walk around campus until you found trouble. You can't deny that my way is more efficient. Theo: I still don't like it. 2: How long does it take you to wake up every day? Cie: About two cups of coffee. 3: Why did you do whatever it is you did to end up wherever it is that you are?

Unfortunately, I'd have to say that none of those events were scarier than incurring the wrath of a woman. 2. How is your relationship with your father? //sighs//.... Well, he's not a bad man or anything.. a bit too calculating and cautious for my liking, but he's raised me well, and I've never found myself in need of anything.

Have you ever lost something you loved? Visere: ...Everyone. Klyte: Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. ...Fine, I feel sorry for you. Just so you know, I lost my parents too. What's your favourite pet peeve? Klyte: Favourite? Favourite? I don't know what you mean by this. Maybe I'm just stupid. What's your favourite season? Klyte: Autumn. Or maybe Spring, more things to steal. But since I got in the castle, definitely Autumn. The leaves, and wind... bliss. Visere: I like the hot, dry summer breeze, and their thunderstorms. Especially those. ** 1. Favourite time of the day? 2. What's your opinion on politics? 3. Do you have a routine?

Ciro: 1. Favourite time of the day? Early morning. It's cool and calm and the chaos hasn't started yet. I have five minutes in bed after the alarm goes, where I can rest and everything is fine. 2. What's your opinion on politics? Honestly, I think it's a necessary evil. That said, no one in government is in it for the people. They want to line their own pockets. It's all about money and power. All we can do is hope the ones with the power have at least a few moral values. 3. Do you have a routine? Yes. After those calm five minutes in bed, I do the usual: wash, dress, eat, check messages, go to work... After that there's less routine. On a calm day, I'll spend the day in one of the offices (I have two, at two seperate locations). Lately, my day tends to get interrupted by arrests, alien beasts, decades old conspiracies... I'd love more dull days. That said, when my life was full of dull days I wanted adventure. Everyone wants adventure until people start shooting at you. Then you want to be back in your office, typing e-mails. 1) How exciting is your life? 2) Do you like monotonous tasks? 3) Do you walk, drive or use some other form of transport?

1) How exciting is your life? Theo: It's getting to be a little too exciting, to tell the truth. Who knew being a superhero was so complicated? Prue: It's awesome! I love every second of it. Except for, you know, the creepy government conspiracies and the creepy people who comes with them. I could do without them. Quinn: I wouldn't say it's all that's exciting. Then again, I don't have much to compare with. I 've been doing this all my adult life. 2) Do you like monotonous tasks? Quinn: Sometimes when I get stuck and just can't stop thinking, I like to cook or iron my laundry or tinker in the workshop It's relaxing. 3) Do you walk, drive or use some other form of transport? Theo: I walk mostly, or ride the bus. I used to have a bike, but it got stolen. Quinn: I have quite an impressive garage. Driving normal cars can be a little tricky with my leg so I have rebuilt a few and fitted them with hand controls. The Tesla is my favourite. Getting around on foot is difficult sometimes so Fatma does most of my legwork for me. 1. Are you physically healthy? 2. Are you mentally healthy? 3.

Akir: I feel OK. Mostly. Mateo: Good. 2. Are you mentally healthy? Akir: Umm .... yes. Quite. Mateo: Except that PTSD you've got. Akir: What? Mateo: That's what these people call those nightmares and flashbacks you tend to get when - Akir: D o n 't. Mateo: I won't. Akir: Good. You? Mateo: Probably alright. So far. 3. Have you ever done something extremely stupid and dangerous only because it was fun? Mateo: Who hasn't? Akir: Not me. Mateo: No? Akir *looks at Mateo pointedly* Sure I've done some "extremely stupid and dangerous" things - but it truly wasn't because I thought it "fun". Mateo: Oh. Yeah. Should have read the whole question....

Haha! These questions are PERFECT for my FMC, Jasmine. 1. Are you in love? Yes, I am. That's what got me into this whole mess. Well, mostly it's what caused me trouble. 2. Where would you spend your days, if you could choose? I would leave the palace forever and spend all my days with Trevor. We would marry immediately, and all would be well. 3. What relation do you have to your parents? My father was a wonderful king. He's been gone for six years now, and I miss him terribly. He would always make some time for me during the day, no matter how busy he was. He was like that with all of his children. Daddy would hold me close while we looked at the stars, and he would promise me often that he would search high and low for the man that was worthy of my hand. I know without a doubt that Daddy would have liked Trevor. My mother...that's a different story. Things went south between us after Daddy died and she started running the kingdom. She never had the time for me at the end of the day like Daddy did. When I finally was honest with her about what I'd been doing the past few months, she got angry with me. She threw me in the dungeon and left me to rot unless I tossed aside my boyfriend and recanted my new faith. Well, Mother isn't the only one that's stubborn. --- :) That was fun! 1.

Maybe. Way my life's going, I can't discount anythin'. Your questions: 1) Does life ever seem like HARD work? 2) Do you get to sleep easily? 3) Do other people ever... look at you funny?

Allison: 1. What do you do when you wake up in the morning? Have a little breakfast - usually toast with tons of marmalade - and then brush my teeth, take a shower and get ready for work. Then leave for work. There, simple. 2. Cool weather or warm weather? Warm weather. I'm more accustomed to it, cool weather gives me a sore head. 3. What country would you love to retire to? It's a fight of the countries here. I'd love to retire to somewhere like Japan, just because you've got the mix of culture and city. But then again, I'd love to retire to like...Hawaii or something. Just because that would be amazing. 1. What was/is your favourite subject at school? 2. Dream car? 3. Does your character have anything sentimental that they keep on their person at all times?

Cab: 1. My favorite subject in school was science. Probably physics, but chemistry was a close second. 2. My dream car is a yellow Porsche Boxster, but cars don't matter that much to me. Maybe they used to, but they're not much use to me anymore. 3. I don't, unless you count the time machine's core mechanism. It's a small, disc shaped piece of metal. I usually thread it onto a small necklace and wear it under my shirt when I'm not driving, but it depends on where we're going. Violet and Abigail are a lot more concerned with that kind of stuff. They're the ones with the rings and the choker necklace and the secret keys and whatnot. 1. How old are you? 2. What is your first memory? 3. What is your family like?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

RaisinSpock — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:02:00 -0500

1. How old are you? 2. What is your first memory? 3. What is your family like? 1. How old are you? Lindsay: I am 23 years old. Eric: 24. Christine: I'm almost 25. 2. What is your first memory? My first memory is shopping with my mom... she was talking to me, and i remember her saying, 'do you want some apple sauce, Chrissy? You loooove applesauce." Lindsay: that's really weird, Chris. Chris: iKR! Eric: did you just... nevermind. Lindsay: my first memory is of me and John. We were both playing outside, and John was practically dragging me around the yard. He was running really fast and holding onto my hand. Chris: And you said mine was weird. John, laughing at Lindsay: i remember that, too. Eric: Well I remember meeting my sister Michaela for the first time. I was so excited to have a little sister. Lindsay: wow i guess you're the one with the normal family. John: my first memory is when we still had our big german retriever. a golden retriever german shepherd mix. I remember crawling all over her and teething on her ears. she was a good dog; she never bit me or tried to stop me. Lindsay: Yeah Mayanah was a great dog. 3. What is your family like? Lindsay: my family is really great. Markanah, my mom, is the nicest woman alive. She is so compassionate, but she wasn't afraid to discipline us. Parkher, my dad, is dead. He was a wonderful man. He would've done anything for his family. my sisters, Ahlix and Jess, are very fun to hang out with. Ahlix is a little bit more reserved, and Jess is more of the 'if i have a hundred turi fulls, i will spend them all at one store,' type. Ahlix is great when you need somebody to talk to, and Jess is good at cheering people up. And john.... John is..... John. In a good way. It was hard after Parkher died, i mean, it was losing another dad. It was really hard on me, and it kind of felt like he was the only one who actually understood what i was going through, cause he was, too. Eric: My mother is kind of strict... not like super strict, but we were disciplined. But don't get me wrong, she's a great lady, very hospitable. My father was very into his work. He's a great doctor. I learned almost everything i know from him. Michaela, my sister, she's really nice. She can be great to talk to, but when she's mad or moody, she can get kind of mean. but most of the time, she's nice. She's fun to hang out with. Chris: Well, i'm an only child, so i don't have siblings to describe. I don't want to say that my mom really spoiled me, but... I got a lot of things that i wanted, and a big allowance when i was little. But she doesn't put up with any crap. I had my fair share of being sent to my room, and spankings... my mom is chatty. she talks a lot, about fashion and the local news. I don't want to say gossip, but... maybe that's what it tends to be. My father is not extremely talkitive. He's very kind and gentle, though. And supportive. He convinced my mom to let me start taking harp lessons, even though i was already taking voice lessons and piano. John: Well, it depends on which family you're talking about. Lindsay and I are sort of adopted by Parkher and Markanah. Our real parents died in a car crash. i remember a lot about them. Lindsay was eight and i was 11. But Lindsay described the Questano's accurately, so i guess I'll describe our real parents. Our mom was loving, but kind of fidgety. She kind of switched hobbies a lot, but she always loved cooking. Our dad was really proud, but he adored me and Lindsay and our mom. He liked fishing a lot. 1. Coffee or tea? 2. Captain Kirk or Spock? 3. hard floors or carpets?

1. Coffee or tea? Ana: tea. Mostly because 4 is always telling me to drink tea so I'll calm down, but he doesn't realize I drink heavily-caffeinated tea. 2. Captain Kirk or Spock? Hm... I don't know.... i've never actually seen Star Trek. 3. hard floors or carpets? Hard floors. Much more fun for sock-sliding. 1. What's your worst memory? 2. Sunshine or rain? 3.

1. What's your worst memory? Cie: The day when the bullets came down like rain and James fell and I knew he was going to die. Quinn: Yeah that was... uh, I can't say I actually remember much of it. That day is pretty blurry to tell the truth. Waking up afterwards though, that was tough. But my worst memory is the day I walked away from the Division and had to leave Cie behind until I could come back for her. 2. Sunshine or rain? Theo: Sunshine! Who doesn't like sunshine? Prue: I don't. I turn to a lobster if I stick my nose outside the door. 3. Being called normal, or being called awesome? Quinn: Technically speaking, the term is 'Extrahuman' but I like 'awesome'. Maybe we should use that instead? Cie: Good try, but no. Theo: Am I the only one who wants to be normal? 1. What superpower would you like to have? 2. Most tiresome chore? 3.

Ramiro: 1. What is your fondest childhood memory? Being with my sister, Esther. She used to read to me and teach me things. She was twelve years older and like a stand in mum. 2. Are your parents still together? I've got no idea. I haven't spoken to them in years. I assume so. 3. Do you want/have kids? I dunno if I have any kids. There might be some accidental ones somewhere. I don't really want any. They're better off without me. --------------- 1) Have you ever been hospitalised? 2) Are you scared of dying? 3) Ever really hurt someone you care about?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Zinnith — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 03:35:13 -0500

1) Have you ever been hospitalised? Quinn: Yes. My god, yes. I don't like to be reminded about it. Not my best moment, y'know. Anyway, after I got Cie out of the Division, I was such an arrogant little shit. I mean, we had won, and it was a huge victory. It felt like nothing could touch us. And when they caught up with us... Jesus, I've never been so scared in my life. Cie didn't tell me then, but she already knew I was going to die that day, and I did. Twice, as a matter of fact. For two minutes the ambulance and one and a half on the operation table. No pulse, no breathing, nothing. Dick... uh, Dr Richardson told me afterwards that I shouldn't even be alive. They were worried about brain damage and at first they didn't think I'd ever walk again. So yeah, that was humbling. 2) Are you scared of dying? Theo: What kind of question is that? Of course I'm scared of dying. Everyone should be scared of dying. Cie: I'm not. I'll know when it's my time. It won't be for a while yet. 3) Ever really hurt someone you care about? Quinn: Yes. I think that's inevitable in any relationship. When you really love someone and they love you back, hurting them is so easy. Cie: The important question is, did they forgive you? And I did. 1. How do you feel about marriage? 2. Were you raised into a religion? 3. Do you have any scars?

But it's pointless pretending I've never hated. I'd say I hate hate, but that's a cop-out answer. I guess I'll say I hate hypocrisy." 2. What sort of music do you listen to?

What sort of music do you listen to? Rollon: I don't. Instrumentals are fine in small doses, but singing grates on my nerves. Atterson: Anything. You hear a lot of it when you're born a gypsy. Lena: Just someone playing the lyre or mandolin is nice. Brea: We don't really get a lot of bards near the Darklands, but there was a song my sister used to sing to me that I loved. 3.) If you were an animal, what would you be? Rollon: A wolf. Atterson: Some kind of bird, maybe a falcon. Lena: A panther or one of the white eagles that roost at Stormpool. Brea: A deer.

Hey, I have a character named Zero, too. But he's a little more mature. he'll be answering these. 1) LIKE BUGS?! "They're all right, but a little annoying, especially when they creep into your house in the middle of the night..." 2) EVER SEE A LOTTA DEAD PEOPLE?! "Not really. I've killed people, but not all in the same place, nor did I stick around to see them dead." 3) I LIKE MY SCREWDRIVER! WHAT'S YOUR BEST THING?! "Screwdriver...? Good for you. I don't know, this notebook, or my computer, or... what kind of question is that?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Have you ever killed people, and why? 2. Who or what would you gladly die for? 3. Do you like sugar?

From the mind of Ms. Bobbie Parker 1. Have you ever killed people, and why? -No, I haven't. I've lived a rather quiet life, preferring to be more of an observer. 2. Who or what would you gladly die for? -I'd die for my first big break. There are so few female journalists out in the world. 3. Do you like sugar? -I like sugar in my coffee, can't take it any other way. Questions 1. What is the most scandalous thing you've ever done? 2. If you could redo one moment in life, what would it be? 3.Favorite color?

(I'll just assume Excel isn't worried about operational secrecy for the sake of avoiding two "That information is classified" answers) 1. What is the most scandalous thing you've ever done? Excel: Does triggering a war count? I mean, all I did was assassinate that guy...that was calling for peace...and make it look like someone else did it... 2. If you could redo one moment in life, what would it be? Excel: Helixe. Erm, sorry - the Battle of Helixe. One of our best men died there. Just ran off with a squad and we never saw him again. ...We nearly leveled the city when we took it back. 3.Favorite color? Excel: What kind of stupid question is that? Oh well. Uh. Red? No, wait! Blue. Nah. Green! You know, like a dark green, that...light blue! Babes love pink. So, pink? Nah. Tan. Like my uniform! Or gray. Better in urban areas. Or what about... Questions: 1. What is the absolute worst, most petty, vindictive, vengeful thing you've done to another person? 2. What genre of music do you like? 3. If you could instantly permanently change your gender once, with everyone you know assuming you had always been the other gender and never noticing the change, would you?

Xavi: 1. What is the absolute worst, most petty, vindictive, vengeful thing you've done to another person? Um... Definitely making Evil Alice fall in love with me and then kill herself. I mean... I didn't actually MAKE her kill herself, she chose to when she found out that she was an evil witch and I hated her. But she deserved it. And I don't say that lightly. 2. What genre of music do you like? Anything really! 3. If you could instantly permanently change your gender once, with everyone you know assuming you had always been the other gender and never noticing the change, would you? Erm... No. Why would I want to do that? ---------------------------------------------- 1) Are you cold? 2) If you could be invisible for an hour, what would you do? 3) If someone tortured you, would you exact a terrible revenge?

Well I can essentially be invisible anyway, but I'd go out to the Institute, set all the Others free, and kills those freaks who call themselves 'doctors' and 'scientists'. 3. If someone tortured you, would you exact a terrible revenge? Hehehe...I'm planning it already. Dr. Bladen will pay, oh yes, he will pay. 1.

Nola... 1.) I want to go scuba diving. I know a lot of people say they want to scuba dive in the warm waters, but me? I would love to dive up near Alaska, or in the Antarctic regions. I've done the polar bear dive and swim two miles every year since I was four without a wet suit or a dry suit. I could stay there and dive for days. 2.) I'd die for my family. No doubt. Mom, Dad, Austin or Lexie, even Lexie I should say. Notice I said that really fast? Yeah no doubt. 3.) I hate people that pollute. I kinda' want to smash their faces in and tell them their mother hates them too. ---- 1.) Favorite breakfast 2.)What charity do/ would you donate to? 3.) Last meal?

Cab: 1. I'm a big breakfast kind of person. Give me my blueberry waffles and scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon and hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy. The works. Don't give me any of that bran muffin and oatmeal crap. You only live once. 2. RoadPeace. It's a charity that supports car crash victims and their families. Automobile accidents are the number one cause for injury in the US and the leading cause of accidental death. I keep saying that I don't care about Nat and I mean it when I say that I'll never be able to love her now that I know what happens in the future. That doesn't mean that it didn't really strike a chord in me, though, when I found out. Ten years from now, Nat is supposed to die in a car crash and I'm supposed to go completely insane with grief and become depressed and obsessed and... well, maybe that wouldn't have happened if I'd had some kind of support or something? Or maybe Nathalie wouldn't have died if there was more safety awareness or... I don't even know. It just seems like a good cause, okay? 3. The last thing I ate was lemon and dill salmon burger with what looked like avocado slices on it. I also had a side of onion straws dipped in something called "joe sauce" that was... I don't know, kind of a garlicy ranch dressing? But it was pink with flecks in it. It was all pretty good. 1. What is your favorite article of clothing? 2. Where were you born? 3.

Are you a pessimist, an optimist, or a realist, and why? Zita: Pessiminst-realist. An assassin's life isn't very optimistic. Akir: Then I should be that too ... a slave's life isn't very optimisic either. But, well... realistic, then. With a touch of optimism. Mateo: Pessimist-optimist. Akir: Is that even a possible combination? Mateo: There better be. These day I feel like everything else than a realist... 3. What is your favorite book? Akir: Book? I've hardly read any...

Henry: 1. Only when no one's looking? Dance. I mean, it's not like I dance whenever no one's looking. That's just weird. But I do sometimes when I'm doing housework or just have too much pent up energy around the house. I don't dance in front of other people, though. I have no rhythm. I mean it, none. I just sort of flail in an approximation of what I think looks cool, but I know that it really doesn't. 2. Mellow, mournful ballads and catchy, upbeat songs. Nothing much in between, although I'm flexible on the genre. No metal or rap, though. Those are the two things I can't stand. 3. I am extremely passive and non-confrontational. It's probably my biggest flaw. I would probably just ignore them and try to get myself out of the situation? Unless it was Vi. We're bros -- uh, is that a sexist term? I mean, she's a girl, but I can't think of any other appropriate word to describe our friendship. When she insults me, I just insult her right back.

He was also the one who brought us to Chechnya, and that was kinda how I met Uri. What is your favorite memento? No idea. There's this golden ring of a rat I stole from some dude back in my days as a child soldier. I heard Yuki's mom has something similar though. Remind me to go check on her.

Mateo: Yeah - 'cause you don't lie, either. Akir: No, I don't. There are no reasons to. Mateo: Well, there you have it. You won't lie. Akir: And you won't ... Mateo: ... I won't go against what I believe is right. Akir: That sounds awfully ... convenient. Mateo: I'm not going to say anything else. Next question? 2) Tell us what would make you violate that one rule. Akir: That wasn't fair. Mateo: Well ... I already have violated mine, many times, you know. Akir: Yes. That's why it wasn't a good one to pick. Mateo: What could make you lie, Akir? Akir: *grins* Interested? Mateo: Sure. Since you won't do that even to save yourself ... perhaps to save someone else? Akir: I've never done that either. I don't know. Perhaps it would be worth it if it would set my people free.... You? Mateo: I'll go against what I believe is right if the consequence of not doing it would be worse. Akir: Like when you whipped me? Mateo: Yes. Akir: Next.... 3) If you violate said rule, what would you do? Akir: From what I remember you whine a lot and then just do it. Mateo: And feel awful. You? Akir: I'd ... have to accept the penance our klericas will set. Oath-breaking is enough to be expelled from the people, you know. Mateo: *nods*. Let's hope you'll never need to, then. So, we get to ask questions now? Akir: Yes.... ----------------------------------------------------- Akir: Would you take the blame for something you did not do, to save someone else?

But here in this time, the present, with everything I've learned... Hardly. Mateo: What do you believe happens after you die? You descend into the pits of the underworld as rules by Hades. Depending you might be sent to the Asphodel Meadows, the Elysian Fields, or the great pit of Tartarus. Akir: Are you in love - or have you been - and if so with who? For Zeus’s sake... Yes.

Carmen - 1: Eh? I guess the most embarrassing thing I ever did was trying to escape from a one night stand in the morning... Only to get my foot stuck and hang upside the bed naked... Let's say when he woke up, it was more than humiliating... Oh. Hm. The most embarrassing thing i ever LIVED through? I'm still alive thank goodness.. Ha. But er, despite everything, it's the same thing. I still can't believe myself... 2: I'm so ashamed. He ended up leaving me like that... It was the worst! 3: o_o E-Eh?! Faeries?! Oh god, please don't tell me they exist too! I've only just got into the whole idea of this! Oh sweet lord! T_T Here, I'll ask some questions! 1) What is the best thing that's ever happened to you, and why was it so good? 2) Do you believe in the supernatural? Meaning Vampire, Werewolf, Lycan and so on? (Please say I'm not crazy..) 3) Do you have any children? If not, do you wish you did?

My poor seven-year-old protagonist XD 1) Mother took me to the capital, and I got to meet the Princess and the Queen! 2) Well, I am sure there might be monsters like that somewhere, but not here. The Goddess keeps her hand over us and protects us from such evils. 3) Oh. Oh. Oh dear. *blushes* No, not yet. I hope I will, however. I am certain my wife wouldn't appreciate me too much if I could not give her at least one daughter. *timewarp until he gets older* You said what? Why would I ever want to have children? Annoying little brats. Hmm... Possibly if I didn't have to do it with a woman to get them, and only boys. My questions: 1) How did you spend your last birthday? 2) What's your favourite story or legend? Or at least what kind of story/legend? 3) In your opinion, what would be the most embarrassing way to die?

Or at least what kind of story/legend? Legends? I don't believe in legends. And stories are a waste of time. Hmmph. 3) In your opinion, what would be the most embarrassing way to die? Poor. Oh, most definitley poor. Oh, that's not the right answer? I don't really care. Don't sass me, or I'll have Father kill you. Questions: 1. What's your favorite drink? 2. Has anything... strange ever happened to you? 3. Worst way to waste time?

1) My one good friend and I had fun at my place, getting a little tipsy and just sharing laughs. Some of my circle and my brother also gave me gifts, and I was polite, but I don't have much desire to spend time with them. 2) I love war stories. It's weird, I know, but I love hearing both about the outrageous weaponry and the creative ways it was used. I like naval and U-Boat stories the best, though I've never even been on a ship. I guess most women find that stuff boring. 3) On the toilet, of course!...But honestly, the worst would be with your back turned. It shows you can't take care of yourself. All right, answer these: 1) What's the most precious possession you own (even if you don't value material items much, what's the most important)? 2) How do you feel when you're alone? And, because I liked it a lot, 3) What did you do for your last birthday?

1) What's the most precious possession you own (even if you don't value material items much, what's the most important)? Casey: My father left me a box of things. There's pictures from when I was a kid and he was still alive and a journal I can't figure out how to open, though... Dante: Casey gave me a claddagh ring. 2) How do you feel when you're alone? Casey: *shrug* All right. I mean, now there's times I get scared because I know there's more out there than I thought there was before... Dante: Being alone doesn't scare me. 3) What did you do for your last birthday? Casey: My friends through me a Where the Wild Things Are party. Yes, for my 19th birthday. Dante: I ... don't remember. I don't usually remember when my birthday is anymore... Casey: That's kinda sad, D...

Since there weren't any questions left, I'll answer the previous ones. 1) What's the most precious possession you own (even if you don't value material items much, what's the most important)? Caleb: Well that's my time machine, of course. Henry: Er... Laptop, I suppose? Violet: Oh, I don't know. Probably my nice flowered dress. It's a bit out of style, but it's so sweet looking. 2) How do you feel when you're alone? Caleb: Better. There's no need to worry about developing romantic relationships with people that are too strong. I've seen what happens if I go that way. Henry: Lonely? Isn't that what you're supposed to feel when you're alone? Violet: I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you're supposed to feel. 3) What did you do for your last birthday? Caleb: I was working on building a time machine, of course. I wasn't just going to take a day off to frolic in cake. Henry: I got a lot of books and spent some time with my mother. It's was pretty nice over all. I didn't "frolic in cake", though. That just sounds messy. Violet: It sounds fun. I wish I had thought to frolic in cake on my last birthday. Instead I just had a proper sort of party with all my friends. We ate the cake instead of frolicking in it. 1. Where do you see yourself in five years? 2. Do you have a crush on someone? 3.

NIK: 1. Where do you see yourself in five years? Well that's really hard to say. Right now I'm trying to just stay clean and sober one day at a time. I guess I honestly still expect to be dead in five years. 2. Do you have a crush on someone? Crush is the wrong word, but I'm still romantically and sexually obsessed with Harley. 3. What is your biggest secret? It's not exactly a big secret, but I don't really go around telling everybody that I'm transgender. 1. Is education important to you? 2. Do you believe in God? 3.

1. Is education important to you? Yes, if only because my parents are both professors, so it's been pounded into my brain that education is the key to happiness. 2. Do you believe in God? I guess so? I'm not too formal about it though. I believe in a higher power, but not much else. I'm not one for formal religion. 3. What is the worst nightmare you've ever had? I once had a dream that everyone I ever knew had died and I was left in a world full of strangers, completely alone. It was...pretty terrifying. ~ 1. What's your deepest fear? 2. Where would you live, if you could live anywhere on Earth? 3. What's your earliest memory?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

martianlunatic — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:20:16 -0500

1. What's your deepest fear? Kaiya: the end of the world. Faraday: Don't be stupid. I'm not afraid of anything. Kas: Death. I know it's cliche, but I'm not sure what frightens me more, the fact that there might not be any afterlife, or the fact that there might be one. Reina: Being alone. 2. Where would you live, if you could live anywhere on Earth? Kaiya: What is 'earth?' Faraday: *points at a map of the galaxy* Learn some geography, honestly. Kaiya: Oh, yes, well, I suppose somewhere in the north, like this one here, labeled "Canada." I don't like places that are too warm, and judging by this planet's axial tilt, northern climates are perhaps cooler. Faraday: Southern climates are quite cool too. I want to live in Antarctica. With the penguins. Kas: You guys are all insane, why would you want to live somewhere so cold? I would choose to live in Japan because I enjoy the aesthetics of their cultural artifacts. Reina: *screws up face determinedly* I will go to Japan too! 3. What's your earliest memory? Kaiya: The earliest memory that is mine is of five years ago when I woke up on Dream's End. My earliest borrowed memory is an odd one, of when Zialana was an infant, of her grandfather, Zadmin Torriss -- he was yelling, I believe, because some man cut him off in traffic. But it's not my memory, so... Kas: The first time we visited Nesk. My father ... The green grass in his yard. I'd never seen grass before, growing up in the Outer Belt and all. Reina: My mother, ranting about the good old days. I don't remember the specifics. Mother always ranted about the good old days. Faraday: Well, I was in a dark tunnel, and then a thin sliver of light appeared, and ... Kaiya: Oh, come on, there's no way you can remember THAT! What's your greatest weakness? If you could trade places with one other character who would it be? How do you feel about your author so far?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Chainlink — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:36:59 -0500

What's your greatest weakness? Caleb: Right now? It's my ignorance to exactly what's going on around me. As a whole, though, it's probably my refusal to let anyone get close enough for me to be vulnerable. That could really be seen as my greatest strength, though. Violet: I'm really defensive. Henry: I can be very shy and I don't have much of a backbone, especially with people I don't know very well. If you could trade places with one other character who would it be? Caleb: Er...Vi? She seems to always know what's going on. I wouldn't want boobs, though. Henry: Angus. His life seems so much easier than mine. Or Caleb. He's strong, smart, funny, and he has a time machine. Vi: No one! My part is just about to start getting good. How do you feel about your author so far? Caleb: I wanted to like her. She seems nice. But she's kind of keeping me in the dark about everything and just dropping tiny hints. I want some real information, please? Henry: I liked her a heck of a lot more before she thought up the most horrifying backstory for me possible. I thought we were friends and then she goes and makes it look like I killed my own mother and just as I'm getting used to that traumatizing idea, she changes it so that it looks like I killed my three little sisters in incredibly gruesome ways. What was wrong with me being a shy bookworm who needs to be introduced gently into a world of chaos and time travel? Vi: Well I like her! She tells me everything and so far she's given me a great plot. So there. James: I'm a little bitter. I mean, this was supposed to be my story. Will, Abby and I were supposed to go hunting for a monster and that was the story. Then she, what? Gets bored with us? And the next thing I know we're not even in the story until she graciously decides to make us side characters. Side characters in what was supposed to be my story! _______________ Did you have a favorite childhood toy? How much sleep do you get a night on average? Can you fight?

Do you like the Wyrm? • Johanna: No, are you fucking insane?! It's the very personification of everything that is wrong with the world, it's warped and twisted beyond recognition, it's infinite in power, and we're losing the war against it. No, I don't fucking like the Wyrm. Fuck you for even asking that! What, do you like the Wyrm? -draws warhammer- • Adonis: Uhm, no. It's bad. That's not to say that it was always bad. It used to be okay, a little creepy, being the cosmic force behind decay and all, but it went insane. So I suppose you could say that I don't like what happened to it, rather than it, itself. What is your favorite food? • Johanna: Meat, of all varieties. Fish, cow, pig, deer, elk, lamb, duck, whatever. If I'm in my human form, I prefer it slightly cooked, somewhere between "rare" and "bleeding." If I'm in my wolf form, somewhere between "bleeding" and "still alive." • Adonis: I like a nice, well-cooked fish every now and again. I also enjoy petit fours, and a good Greek salad. Of course, I am Garou, so hunting happens every now and again, but unlike my more predatory alpha, I'm not a huge fan of ripping off flesh from a crying animal. Food's food, though, when you're starving. Do you have a best friend? • Johanna: Adonis, for fucking sure. He's probably the only thing keeping me sane (and even he struggles at that from time to time). Not to mention he's a damn good packmate, and mighty fucking useful with a gun. I mean, there's something odd about using a gun when you're a damn werewolf, but I suppose I can only blame the Glass Walkers for their Weaver-toys so far. As long as he's doing Gaia's work, whatever. • Adonis: I suppose it would be only natural here for me to say that Johanna is my best friend, although frankly, my view of her is more as my alpha than my friend. Sure, we spend time together now and again that isn't pack-related, and that's all well and good, but she's a little too hot-tempered for me to spend too much time with. I suppose I don't have an honest to goodness best friend. Many acquaintances, few real friends. ______________________ 1. What's your point of view on religion? 2. How good of a dancer are you? 3.

But, with everything going on and the danger that trails me, it ends up being a lot of protecting people who get caught in the middle of things. Dante: Yes. It's been a big part of what I do, protecting people with powers that I barely know. It's how Casey and I teamed up... 2. How hard is it to get you really mad at someone?

Flynn: 1) Well...sometimes I regret ever going along with what my dad said, instead of running off. Hiding from the guards all the time is rather difficult. I mean, you can't ever go out where a lot of people are, since there are generally look-outs; you always have to sleep in scummy inns or outside; you can't really just walk into a shop and buy something; and it's impossible to enter a town easily through their main entrance. But whenever I think about it, I have no idea what I would be doing in place of this, since it's all I've ever known. 2) No. Not yet, at least. Can't say I've stayed in one place long enough to really know someone enough to fall in love with them. But I'm only twenty-three. I still got time. 3) Um...I'm unsure as to how to answer that one. I never had any normal education growing up, and I still don't know how to read, but I wasn't completely education-less. My dad taught me how to be a great thief when I was little, so there's that. I just don't know how to classify that at a 'level' of education... Questions 1. What's the worst thing that's happened to you? 2. What's your favorite kind of music? 3. Are you any good with kids?

Not fun. 2) I don't really listen to all that much music, to be honest. 3) Sometimes. It depends on how much I'm struggling to hang on to sanity any given day.

Of course, if it was in my control I'd stop the pandemic, but it's out of everyone's hands. Note: That's how Daphne would answer if asked out loud, not the actual honest answers. Questions: 1) What's the cruelest thing you've ever done? 2) What are your siblings like? (If you don't have any siblings change siblings to parents or close friends) 3) Do you see yourself as attractive?

Hmmm, as supersinger hasn't left any questions, I'll answer the ones GreysPrincess asked. Ryan: 1) What's your fondest memory? The most cherished memories I have are of my grandfather, who used to always defend me and never let my mother hit me or scold me when he was there. I wish he never died! 2) How do you spend your free time? Painting. It's the only thing I really like and I'm so good at. I'll be turning into a full-time career once I get my BFA in Painting. 3) If you could change one event in your past, which would you pick? My father not dumping my mother. Technically this happened before my birth, but it has impacted my past so badly that I always wished I could change it. ------- 1) Are you following some specific kind of diet? (vegan, raw food, gluten-free, halal, etc.) 2) Do you live by yourself? 3) When do you feel the most tired out during the day/night?

It's just me a lot, but my girl is supposed to live with me... 3) When do you feel the most tired out during the day/night? Casey: Depends... I'm a morning person, so, night? Dante: Day, but I don't get tired often. Carrick: Tired? 1. Who is your favorite artist? 2. What's the best way to send a lazy Saturday? 3. Are you especially skilled at something?

Kyome: 1. I like to say I'm an optimist. It very well counters my brother's pessimism. The family doesn't need two pessimists. 2. My first job was as a mail courier when I was thirteen. It only lasted about a year until I got a new job, but it was fun enough while it lasted. Sometimes I heard some really interesting conversations between people when I was waiting to meet with whoever I needed to deliver a letter to. 3. Least favorite place... Probably the Dendor Mountains. They're huge and barren and are full of any number of nasty creatures. The giant bears are probably amongst the worst, though the mountain people are pretty bad, too. And they seem to always be snowy, way up high, and there are no towns within the mountains and you can go days without seeing people. Overall, it's pretty horrible. 1. If you could choose any occupation, what would it be? 2. What's your favorite food or drink? 3. What does your normal day schedule look like?

Answering as my main character eighteen year old heiress, Jenny Wilde. 1.What do you like or dislike about religion? My mother was always a free spirit so religion was never forced upon me. Of course at my boarding school I've been around a lot of different people. I would say the thing that like about religion is that it gives you something to believe in. Everything's less bleak when you have a shining beacon in the sky calling you home, ya know? And what I dislike about it would be the formality of it all, being pressured to do something. Kinda like how my dad is making me inherit his company, but I digress. 2.Who is your idol? Rockstar Vic Damage. *sigh* Now he is my beacon. He's so dreamy. I wonder if I'll ever meet him? 3.What is your favorite color? Blue. It is one of the many things I had in common with my backstabbing ex-best friend, Felicity. She stole my boyfriend. X-( Leaving: 1. Who is the one person you want to speak to right now, and what do you want to say to them? 2.

Nat: 1. Funny you ask that. I don't know if they'd be called 'weird' exactly, but I've just recently started having dreams about events that are actually happening in other places that I had no way of knowing about. It's probably a side-product of my mind-control problems. 2. Dylan was closest to me. He was my older brother, but he's most likely dead by now. 3. Oh god, where do I start? Sheesh, it's to sound like I'm a whiney teenager here. I'm mostly pretty happy with my life, other than the mind-control thing. Well, I lived through a pandemic that killed my parents and most of my friends. And... Actually, let's just leave it at that. Everything else will just be by-products of that stuff. Questions 1.

Being completely alone is terrifying to me. 3. Reva: It was awkward, because it was sort of me apologizing for leaving him to die. Really kills the whole "first kiss" mood, you know? ~ 1.

Matt Sanderson: I don't know who you are, but I'll answer your questions. I have pets, but I guess some people wouldn't consider horses pets, so I'll tell you I have a cat named Buster. He's eight years old. As for my age... I'm forty-six. As for cleanliness, I guess other people would say I'm pretty clean after I have a shower. Being around horses kind of rubs off on you, if you know what I mean. So I guess you want some questions now: 1) Have you ever been involved in something illegal? 2) Do you smoke? 3) If you could trade places with anyone famous, who would it be?

But that one Nat talked about a little while ago when we slept under the stars in her backyard stands out now. Still, there's no point in dwelling on it. We live in a different world now. 2. You mean, like, romantically? I went on one super-awkward blind date with Nat's brother that she set up as a joke on the both of us in high-school. It was my very first date, too. I don't know if you'd call that a relationship, but we both dressed up and everything and he even kissed me goodnight on the cheek and apologized for his sister. She was grossed out when I told her, though. 3. Not a lot can make me cry. My dad was a Beetles fan, so I played blackbird at my parents' funeral, if you could call it that.

However, I made the mistake of discovering that when I get extremely angry, I can release blasts of magical energy strong enough to fry a person. Only a few people know, and they're not telling, so I should be safe, but it's still very frustrating. 2. The honest truth? I really do prefer just to walk. 3. No allergies that I know of.

That one day I'm going to go back to Nathalie and she's going to die and I'm going to become bitter and obsessive and invent the stupid time machine that started this entire loop. 2. Uh...

Hey, Matt here again, with my trusty steed... God, I hate that phrase. It's usually spouted by people who know nothing about horses. Anyway, let's see if I can answer your questions. 1) My relationship with my parents is good. They're both in their late seventies, but still pretty active. Dad used to run a farm, but now he's leaving most of the work to my two brothers. I help out too, occasionally, when I'm not leading a trail ride. I adore my mother. She's getting a bit... you know... but she still has that spunk, if you know what I mean. 2) That one's easy. Old west, mid to late nineteenth century. Before the automobile, before technology... That wasn't hard to figure out, considering I've been around horses most of my life. 3) Near death experience? Can't say I've had one of those. So I guess you want me to ask some questions. 1) What would you do with a million dollars? 2) Ever had an argument with someone you have not resolved yet? 3) Which person would you trust with your life?

Well... platonically, it's Caleb. He was my best friend within an hour of meeting him and we've only become better friends ever since. I've never been closer to anyone else in my life. He constantly amazes me with his intellect, his bizarre idea of fun, his bizarre sort of charm and of course his time machine. Romance is not in the cards for us, though. He and I are only friends and will only ever be friends. He is trying to outrun a tragic future and a big part of that is never falling in love. I'm just not interesting in falling in love. There are too many amazing adventures out there for me too have. 3. Angus is more Caleb's than mine, if anything. That's only because Caleb met him first, though. I'm pretty sure Angus likes me better, though. Angus is an intensely smart saltopus from the Triassic Period, where Caleb and I keep our headquarters. _____________ 1.

As Paul Court: 1. Well, I go to a seminary so I have a rigid, military-like schedule. In fact it is an oxymoron for me to be posting here, but we'll ignore that. I don't even have a computer where I am. We do religious studies and hike and pray and do our other schoolwork. My only contact with old friends is through letters. I get a lot of letters from a girl named Melany who I met a couple of weeks before I left. 2. Mexican Ice Cream. Really, any Mexican food. Also, I'm crazy about avocados. And donuts. I'm a skinny, teen guy so I can eat whatever I want. 3. Well, I'm a guy. And I'm becoming a priest, so dating anyone is out of the question for me. I think Melany wished something could have happened, but we met so close to when I was going... I just try not think about what might have been. I trust God. I guess he didn't intend for anything to happen. I still pray about her a lot though. --- Dear character: What is your religion? Where do you live? What do you do for stress relief?

Caleb Baker: 1. My best friend is Violet. We met when I was at my lowest and she just completely changed my world in a heartbeat. She's this amazing, headstrong, absolutely brilliant girl who was stuck in a period of time that didn't appreciate her. She didn't let that stop her, though. She stayed strong and tried to make her own way. When I met her, I -- well, I didn't know it at the time, but I basically offered her everything she wanted when I took her time traveling. She's been the best friend I could ever ask for ever since. She's smart, has loads of common sense, a biting but hilarious sense of humor, and she keeps me in line. 2. Magical creature? Like... dragons and unicorns and stuff? I guess... I guess I'd be a mermaid. Merman? Issues of gender aside, that's the only magical creature I can think of that lives in the oceans. Except... sea monsters? No, I still want to be a merman. About 71% of the earth's surface is saltwater oceans. If I'm going to change, I want to be something that lives in the ocean and can explore everything to its fullest extent. 3. That depends... I mean, if I'm at HQ, then I want the weather to be warm but not too incredibly humid and all clear skies. Anywhere else, then I want a nice light, warm mist that isn't quite rain yet. ________________ 1. Are you artistic at all? 2.

Eli: 1. Heh, well, there's my half-sight thing. They're trying to kill people like me. I hear Valliancourt even has a police system set up. So if someone reported me to them I'd be screwed. I guess you could use that. Or use the fact that I care about shit way more than I pretend to. But I don't reveal that often. I guess I only told Soph because it was the only way she'd ever let me help her. 2. Oh god, when was the last time I actually heard music? Like, real music?

As Melany- 1. Yes. I am a Christian and I am having some issues figuring out the differences between different sects of Christian and whether those differences matter. I'm torn up about a boy who I just love, but can never have-- because of his religion. He's becoming a priest and thus cannot think of relationships at all. 2. Well, no. I know a really unusual group of people though, and they like to ask me that question often. And once a boy I liked confessed to me that he was gay. I'm notorious for wanting people I cannot have. 3. I am a runner and a grade-A slob. I was wearing my PJs when I met Paul, the future priest. I grow up a little by the end fashion-wise, but mostly I just wear my tank tops and running shorts. Day after day after day. I also have a distinct Kermit the Frog hat. Leaving- 1. How many siblings do you have, and what are they like? 2. If you were a color, what color would you be? 3.

Jayden 1. I just have one, my little sister, Maria. Well before I was dead, I thought she was the most annoying brat in the world. She was always pestering me, wanting to hang out with me. She always HAD to do what I was doing and she never helped out around the house! But after I died, I guess I realized she was just looking up to me. I'm really sad and angry at myself that I won't get to be there for her when she has her first boyfriend and he hurts her. (I won't get to kick his butt for her.) Or when she gets older. 2. Hmmm. well my favorite color is yellow, so I guess that is what I would be. There's no other reason than it my fav. 3.haha, my first girlfriend was Jane. I was 8 at the time. I remember thinking I was so grown up and when my parents told me all their boring old rules about having an adult present on our dates, and blah blah blah I got so mad I tried to run away to her house!

Raquel 1. *sighs.* There's a lot of things I wish I could change. I wish I didn't let people walk all over me so much. I wish I wasn't so goddamn nice. 2. As sad as it is, probably Leah. I'm pretty sure Jayna's too busy thinking about herself to know what I'm feeling. Leah at least knows, even though she doesn't exactly empathize or even sympathize. In fact I'm pretty sure she doesn't give a damn. Thing is, at least she knows about me. And at least she remembers what I tell her. 3. My family has changed a lot. As hard as it is for me to believe we used to be normal. I've never seen a couple more in love than my mom and dad. And Jayna was a sweet girl-we went for walks in Central Park and dangled dollar bills on fishing wire outside our window to see who'd try and pick them up before we'd jerk them back. We had an idyllic Lower Manhattan girlhood. Now, well, mom's dead. Jayna's lost it. She'll barely even talk to me, which I guess is okay, I'm sort of afraid of her. She's terrible to my dad now, too. They used to be like two peas in a pod, now I don't think he's said a word to her in the past 6 months. It's a little better with me, I suppose. We've had two full conversations in past 6 months. 1.

As Christina 1. I live in a small house with my mom, and sometimes her boyfriend. It had six rooms altogether, that including the living room and the kitchen and everything else. I love it though. I couldn't imagine living in a huge house with only two people. It would be so... empty. 2. That's an easy one. My best friend would be Jayden, although we're more than best friends now. ^^ When I was the new kid, he stood up for me and we've been friends ever since. I feel like we can do anything together and talk about everything. And I have to say, I think our relationship has only been made stronger now that he's dead and a ghost. Which is kind of sad, but at least I can sense he's there. 3.My favorite subject? hmm.... Probably science. It can be really interesting, especially when you have a good teacher.

1. Hard question to answer. Overall, there are a number of people who influenced me. The biggest influence...? Well, my parents leaving me all alone, that was pretty big, it affected me for a long time. But Seth and Dylan changed my life... Seth especially forced me to wake up to myself, forced me to be a better person, and understood me... So him. 2. Don't allow yourself to be closed off to the world; it may surprise you. 3.

1. Would I kill someone? It's funny, because I see the value in the strangest things. Especially people. How random combinations of genes can create this big picture so terribly unique, yet like so many others. And, yes, I would kill. I'd destroy that piece of art, because sometimes that's the only way to get where you need to go. 2. I'm not a big drinker. 3. Easy girls? I'm kind of new here and I don't really socialize much with anyone. 1. Favorite classic horror flick? 2. Strangest dream you've ever had? 3. Is your glass half empty or half full?

Well, I think I'll get Mateo to answer this .... 1. Classic horror flick? Don't know what you're talking about, honestly, but I can tell you that facing a demon that has taken over the body of one of your best friends is horror enough for me. 2. Strangest dream? How about having someone you don't know talk to you in a language you don't know and then - after waking up - be told by the very first one you meet that you have to find the one in your dream? Yeah ... And I did exactly that, too. 3. If I have started drinking from it it's half empty. If I decdided not to pour more than that and haven't touched it it's half full ... =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

But I'm way smarter and faster! I mean, I can process a year's worth of sensory data in just 31 seconds! I can control the whole city! Watch this. I can turn all the traffic lights red. No wait. What's going wrong? Oh god, it's not supposed to go blue! You didn't see anything. 2: Do you need to be recognized for the things you do? Ahem. I run the city. Nobody gives two cents to what I think. It's the pure satisfaction that keeps me going. And the knowledge that I'm still more useful than harmful, which is why the humans haven't killed me with a directed EMP blast yet. Is that… Oh, crap.

I did reanimated the corpse of my brother, and was about to take over all the minds in the facility, drive everybody insane and into despair, end everything above ground in the cleansing fire of targeted nuclear strikes, and have everybody here commit suicide. Until, y'know, they detonated his body with military explosive charges. Nope, I'd never think of it.

Red I suppose, it's probably the brightest most lively color I've seen so far. 2. Favorite food? Definitely chocolate muffins, they were my friend's favorite and I acquired a taste for them after he was gone because they remind me so much of him. 3. Favorite person? That would be my other friend, Seth. He's not the easiest person to be around, but he's practically my brother, and I would always have his back, as he would mine. Leaving: 1.

Everyone's done wrong things in their life. 3. I believe in balance. So yes, I think good deeds can make up for bad ones. Paradise 1. No, I've never seen anyone die. And I'm glad. I think seeing that would make me even more jaded than I already am. 2. I honestly don't know. I guess I'll have to wait until I get there to find out. 3.

But I saw her a few hours before. I don't suppose that counts. But she used to keep fish for as long as I can remember. I've seen a bunch of them die over the years. 2.

1. Carisa: Some people laugh at me, but I love country music. What's your favorite kind of music? Jereth: I've always been kind of partial to ballads. I guess since I found out that I'm the Procermer, I've been listening to more songs about the Merres and Procermer legends. It's pretty funny to hear how inaccurate some of them are. Roscoe: *enters* Ew, did I just hear you say you actually like those ballads? Man, I thought you were just doing research! Jereth: Why are you here?? I thought you were doing something important somewhere else! Roscoe: Well, I was, but then someone sort of shoved me in here and said I should join you. Smith: *enters* Hey, guys! What are we doing? Jereth: *sighs* Answering questions from the nice people in the post above us. What's your favorite kind of music? Smith: Pipe and fiddle! Or a good drinking song. Just not one of those never-ending ballads... Roscoe: *laughs* Smith: What? Jereth: Nevermind, next question... 2. Paradise: I think most people have a secret fantasy about a place they'd like to fool around with their boyfriend or girlfriend. I'd like to do it on a beach in the Caribbean. Where would you like to do it? Jereth: Why does everything have to be about Romance and Soul-Mates? I don't have a girlfriend, and if I did she would probably be physically unable to share the most important parts of my life with me. Roscoe: Hmm, touchy subject. You don't have a place you'd take a boyfriend, do you? Jereth: No. Don't be stupid. And nobody wants to know where you take your women or what you do with them, Roscoe, in case you were wondering.

Corynn: *tugs on Jereth's shirt* Daddy, what's "fool around" mean? Jereth: Um, it's sort of like playing. Speaking of which, why don't you go back outside and see how the horses are doing?

We're all good, law-abiding citizens; we'd never ever do or say anything to glorify a criminal in any way whatsoever. Smith: Nope, we all hate criminals. Roscoe: Especially con artists. Those guys are the worst. Smith: Oh, yes, if we ever saw a con artist, we would report that sucker to the nearest authority post-haste. Jereth: If we didn't dispatch with him ourselves! Roscoe: Oh, definitely. *pause. all burst out laughing.* Author: I'm sure this little gang of con artists is glad to know someone cares, EJ. New Questions: 1. Do you have a formal education system?

1. Do you have a formal education system? If so, how do you study for tests? Mateo: No, there aren't any formal system. I had several teachers, along with other kids in the palace. But, sure, I had to study .... How? Well... reading books, mostly. Unless you're talking fencing and such ... Akir: Heh .... No. Slaves don't get educated. We're supposed to know everything anyway ..... 2. Specifically, what do you know about astronomy? Akir: Astronomy? Mateo: The sience of the skies. About sun, moon, stars and such. Akir: What I know about it? The sun's warm and up at day ... and the moon and stars at night. That's about it. Mateo: *smiles* Well, I do know that the sun are a star ... and there's other planets like ours. And ... the moon is no planet, it orbits our planet. But really .... Our society don't really study that. 3. What's the longest you've ever gone without sleeping? Mateo: Let's see .... somewhere around 28 hours. A bit more than a day and a night, anyway. Akir: No idea. A day, a night and another day .... 38 hours perhaps. I wasn't in any shape to keep count by then.... ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.

1. Vision: Where do I like to be? Celia's room, when she's not mad at me. Feels like the safest place in the world. 2. Vision: How much sleep I get varies a lot. Depends if I'm working. You can sleep when you're dead. 3. Vision: How do you mean? Do I have a sense of time? I guess so. Not something I spend a lot of time thinking about. It's more important to try and stay alive in the present than worry about any other time. Questions: 1. How long do you think you will live? 2.

I'd be a fool if I said anything else. 3.Can you see yourself sacrificing someone else to save yourself? Mateo: No. Once I would have without thinking twice, but not now.

[quote=]1. What are your fondest memories? 2. Where do you usually sleep? 3. What are your worst fears?[/quote] Carisa 1. My fondest memories are playing my guitar for my sister, Meghan. I was just learning to play then but she didn't mind when I messed up. She's my biggest fan. 2. I usually sleep in my bus, at least during most of our story. But since I moved back home at the end, I sleep in my old room in my parents house. 3. My worst fears are bugs and never being able to play music again. It's an irrational fear, I know. But that's what it is. Paradise 1. My fondest memories are going out for pizza with my mom. We would be laughing the whole time. We haven't done that in a long time, but I guess we could still go. It wouldn't be the same though. 2. I usually sleep in the apartment above the club where I work. I like it there and I don't know if I'll ever move. 3. My worst fears are getting raped and having to speak in public. EJ 1. My fondest memories are helping my mom take care of her fish. We used to feed them every day and clean their tank every Sunday. 2. I usually sleep in my room in the townhouse I share with my dad. It's not a mansion, but it's enough for me. 3.

Zero: 1. Carisa: Have you ever dreamed of doing something amazing that was completely unrealistic? What was it? I do amazing things that're completely unrealistic every day. What they are is nothin' to do with you. 2. Paradise: Is there some part of your daily routine that you really enjoy? What is it? No. 3. EJ: Are you close with your parents? Or do they annoy you?

1) Have you ever killed someone for no reason? Mateo: Well, that depends. Does "kill someone just because you were ordered to do it" counts? If so, yes. Akir: No. I've never killed anyone. 2) Favourite possesion from childhood? Mateo: Probably my flute. Akir: Don't have any possessions. I am one. (He's a slave) 3) Most traumatic memory? Mateo: Hmmm .... being almost possessed by a evil god-like being would qualify, right? Akir: *swallows* *shudder* Mateo: I could tell them.... you could get out of here you know...

By which I mean stealing. I don't pay for anything. Neither would you if you could get away with it. Admit it. 2. Are you happy with your life / general situation? No. I live alone in the dark. You figure it out... *To something lurking in the dark* What? Maybe if I was nicer? I am nice! No one's ever nice to me! That's why I do what I do... 3. What are your relations to your family?

I'm gonna answer my own questions to revive the thread. Xavi: 1) Would you steal if you could get away with it? Honestly? No. Yeah, I know that seems unbelieveable but honestly, I'd be wracked with guilt. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with the knowledge of what I'd done. It'd haunt me. 2) Do people like you? Most people seem to. Not Jasira, though. I don't think she really likes anyone. It's all to do with her parents, they were rather cold and so she grew up with attachment and self esteem issues, which she deals with by calling me names. 3) Do you think I need therapy? *brandishes screwdriver for stabbing people* Um... Yes. I mean... It's not that you're... It's just... I think there's some things you should talk through... ------------------------------- 1) Tea or coffee? 2) Do people ever laugh at what you're wearing? 3) Paint me a picture and tell me about it!

Thekherham — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:52:23 -0600

Hi, I'm Thekherham, I'm a Tereskadian, and I'll answer your questions: 1) What's tea or coffee? Being a very specialized species, we Tereskadians can drink only the milk of our whistling dragons. 2) People... I guess we're talking Alharhanians here... don't laugh because we don't wear clothes. We have auburn fur; we'd look silly wearing clothes. 3) I've tried painting when I went to school, but my teacher said I should stick to writing, I'm much better at that. But I did paint a landscape picture once. It was a painting of my island... where I was born. Sort of a nostalgia peace, if you will. Here are my questions: Have you ever hunted anything out of season? Do you live in the city or the country? What do you do for entertainment?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Ominous Rain — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:45:53 -0600

Lyan: Have you ever hunted anything out of season? Elves. Do you live in the city or the country? A castle in the country. What do you do for entertainment? Try to survive. --- What does it mean? Favorite weapon? Have you killed?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:38:48 -0600

Zero: What does it mean? It means I don't have time for crap like this. Favorite weapon? My screwdriver. Have you killed? A lot. ------------- How educated are you? Do you have any close friends? Are you on any medication?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:06:30 -0600

Hi, Thekherham here, the official spokes... alien for these questions: I'd say I'm well educated, although I didn't get my education until I was sixteen. That's when my mate and I, and our daughter, who was still in the chambers at the time, traveled from Tereskadhar to Alharhan. I went to primary class and learned all the basic stuff first and then. They don't want to hear all that. Sorry, Kykherhenha. Next question: I used to have close friends, but now that we're living in the city of Treskebhar... population 13,000,000... I guess the Dhoren family... they're the ones we're staying with, I'd count them as close friends. Tereskadians don't get sick, so I don't take any medication. My questions: Have you participated in any quests? How well can you ride (a horse, an elephant, an alien animal)? Do you chew gum?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

fuzz — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:09:46 -0600

Have you participated in any quests: Not on purpose. As an 'everyone lied to me and manipulated me into doing things so they didn't all die' kind of thing? Yeah, sure, I've been on that kind of quest. It's a laugh until you find out that everyone lied to you and manipulated you. How well can you ride a horse (a horse, an elephant, an alien animal)? Not well. I've never had a chance to ride one and even if one were available, mounted on a large animal is a bit of a dumb place for a thief to be. It makes it harder to go through people's pockets without them noticing. Do you chew gum? No. There's no gum in medieval fantasy times but I don't think I'd chew it even if I could. My questions: Are you good at any kind of sport? What is your biggest flaw? If you had to be an animal, what would you be?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

DarkPassenger — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:55:49 -0600

1) Are you good at any kind of sport? Darren: I've never considered myself to be very athletic, but it seems my good friend / ex-boyfriend, Jer, is attempting to change that by having me try every sport known to man. 2) What is your biggest flaw? Darren: This one is unfortunately very easy for me to answer. My biggest flaw is that I have this overwhelming desire to please everyone...which occasionally ends in me hurting someone else very much. 3) If you had to be an animal, what would you be? Darren: My aforementioned indiscretions aside, I'm generally a very friendly and loyal person. So, if I were an animal, I think it would be a canine. A collie or golden retriever, in particular. ~*~ 1) If you could take back one mistake, what would it be? 2) What do you like most about your significant other/best friend/whoever you're closest to? 3) What is your job?

larelmian — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:06:37 -0600

1) If you could take back one mistake, what would it be? Lon: What I said to my brother when I last saw him. Nolan: I would stop my cousin from becoming an insane, sadistic witch. Briana: I wouldn't have thrown myself into the middle of a fight with six goblins. I nearly got killed, and it didn't do much good. Ruben: Letting Nolan play lead away the guards. I really wish I hadn't done that. 2. What do you like most about your significant other/best friend? Sierra: His eyes. Nolan: She's gentle and kind. Emiline: He makes me laugh, and he's so good with little ones. Ruben: He always watches out for me, and he's so smart. Lon: Foolhardy courage, integrity, and great conviction . . . I could say that about all three of them. 3. What is your job? Briana: I am a warrior. Lon: At the moment, I'm in exile. Sierra: I helped my father run the inn. Ruben: I don't have a job. I'm only eleven. I'm not even an apprentice. Nolan: I have many jobs -- mapmaker, explorer, angry mob bait, bounty hunter, entertainer, trader of dyes, ink maker, assistant to the healer . . . it keeps life interesting. 1. What is your religious belief? 2. What is your favorite genre of book/movie/other entertainment? 3. What kind of shoes do you wear?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

1) What is your religious belief? Darren: I consider myself a Christian. I haven't gone to church since I was little, but I still practice in my own, personal way. *pauses* That was a good question because it's not something I actively think about. It just is. 2) What is your favorite genre of book/movie/other entertainment? Darren: I love contemporary rom-coms, but old romantic movies are the best. And any Shakespearean play-turned-movie, so long as it is done traditionally. And I prefer the tragedies over the comedies. I enjoy books and movies that tug at my sensitive heartstrings. *sighs* I could go on and on... 3) What kind of shoes do you wear? Anything that goes with my clothes. I'm surprisingly not too picky about footwear. ~*~ 1) What was your latest injury? 2) What is/was your relationship like with your parents? 3) What is at the very top of your "Bucket List?"

1) What was your latest injury? Xavi: I shall take the lead on this one! *laughing* Ciro: Go for it. Xavi: I got stabbed in the stomach with the claw of an alien creature and then passed out with blood-loss. And I've been shot before. You see, we go on dangerous missions and everyone else is unscathed, and I end up bleeding. Ramiro: My latest injury? Some little shit stabbed me in the neck with a skewer. Zero: Little shit? Ramiro: Yeh, you. Zero: I don't like that... Ramiro: Well, deal with it. Ciro: Talking of injuries, someone stuck a screwdriver through my hand. Zero: Next time you'll answer me faster. Ciro: Hmmm. Zero: Anyway, you set me on fire. I looked like a monster for a week. Saskia: Eeeew... Melty. Zero: Not funny. Took me a whole week to go back to normal. Saskia: How do you just regenerate like that? Zero: *shrug* 2) What is/was your relationship like with your parents? Ciro: Distant. Jasira: Strained and tense. Ramiro: Non-existent. Saskia: Pretty good. Emilio: Brilliant. Xavi: Okay, last time I spoke to them... Zero: they're dead. 3) What is at the very top of your "Bucket List?" Saskia: I don't believe in such things. Only leads to disappointment. Ramiro: Speak to my oldest sister again. Let her know I screwed up but not as bad as she might've feared. Jasira: Having my artwork exhibited at a top show or gallery. Emilio: What's a bucket list? Why would I want to list buckets? Saskai: *whispers* Emilio: OH! *blushes* I want to have a family of my own. Jasira: That's your only wish before you die? Emilio: Yeah. It's a pretty big thing... for us. Saskia: True. We're all gonna grow old in here. Like an old superheroes home. Ciro: Dear god. I'd like to find out the absolute truth of what we actually ARE. Saskia: Oh, that's a good one. Xavi: I want to live to 100. Saskia: That doesn't really count... It's not something you have any control over. Xavi: True. Well then... I'd like... To die rich. Saskia: What? *laughs* That's a good one too. Zero: I want to find my parents. Saskia: I thought they were dead? Zero: They are. Saskia:... You know where dead people go? Zero: I know a lotta things. ------------------------- K, just realised this is where you're meant to answer as ONE character but... I'm leaving it...

It had better be better than life. Kas: To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll continue to fight as if there were, yet live as if there weren't. 2) Can you ride a bike? Kaiya: Yes, but not well. Faraday: Of course, I'm excellent at biking! Reina: Yes, it's quite fun. Kas: No, but I will, just to prove that I can! 3) How much did you weigh at birth? Kaiya: That's none of your business!

Turning Alek is something I'm not proud of. Alek: *stares at Syras, surprised* (2) If you got married tomorrow, who would you choose as your bridesmaids and/or groomsmen? Trevor: Alek. Lukas: Alek as my Best Man. Syras as a groomsman. Syras: That's completely ridiculous. Lukas: It's hypothetical, Sy. Come on. Syras: Fine. Then that would obviously be Alek. Alek: *more surprised staring* Lukas: What about you, Alek? Alek: In this extremely hypothetical and highly unlikely scenario? All three of you would be groomsmen, I suppose. (3) What's your favorite thing to drink? Lukas: *chuckles* Alek: *smiles wryly* Lukas: This one's obviously a no-brainer. Dominic: A bloody Mary. Lukas: A bloody... Dominic: Mary. Lukas: Oh.

Xavi: 1) What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Hang around in the facility my friends live in and annoy them. Yeah, they live in a facility, not homes. I'm allowed out because I have work to do. Okay, that sounds bad doesn't it? Makes me sound loopy... It's not THAT kind of a facility. It's just a place for people the government doesn't want in direct contact with the general public. *pause* Okay, that sounds bad too... I'm gonna stop there. We're good people. Really. 2) What is a typical day like for you? I wake up at around 7.30, get to work by 8.30, get shouted at by Ciro, Rego, Jodi and sometimes Jasira. Then I go to see Macy for lunch and as a good reason my life is worth living, then in the afternoon or late evening, I'm usually threatened with imminent death in some sort of paranormal situation. Everyone's normally unscathed, except me. I always end up bleeding. When I get home, I have just enough time to have dinner and lay in bed. If I'm lucky, the bars on the street below my flat won't be attended by police and ambulances with the sirens going at 3am. IF I'm lucky. I rarely am. 3) Why do you do the job/mission/etc. that you do? Coercion? Yeah, basically, I have no choice. If I try to leave, I'll be hounded to the ends of the earth by all manner of immoral government organisations. One of which I work for. Also, sometimes, they make me fight things. This is not a fun chat. I'm gonna go and eat some cake... ----------------- 1) Do you have a nice life? 2) How do you handle fear? 3) Are you a night person or a morning person?

I mean, come on, how can you NOT respect a guy who sticks around even after you confess that you're a monster? 2) If there was one thing in your past that you could erase, what would it be? Alek: My first thought was to say the fact that I was changed into a vampire. But I suppose I would rather change my reaction to becoming a vampire and everything that happened in the three years after. 3) Are you satisfied with where life has taken you? Alek: I'm satisfied with how I'm dealing with where my life has taken me. ~*~ 1) If you could marry any celebrity, who would it be? 2) Who will be your best man/maid of honor at your wedding? 3) What is your favorite food?

That's... I'm flattered but really... Saskia: Okay? Can I have a best man then? Emilio: Sure! And I can have a maid of honour, which will be you! Saskia: Cool. Jasira: You two are so sappy. Ugh... Me? I don't know. I can't ever see myself getting married. Xavi: I'd have all these guys. Except Jasira. Jasira: I wouldn't want to come. Besides which, who's ever gonna marry you? Ramiro: No one's ever gonna marry me either. I pass on the question. Zero: I'd get married in the dark place with the souls as witnesses. Saskia: Wow. You're stunningly wrong. Zero: I'm original. Ciro: That's the politest way of putting it, yeah... 3) What is your favorite food? Saskia: Sandwiches. Seriously. I LOVE bread. Emilio: Chicken in various forms... Jasira: Hmmm... Favourite?

Ramiro: I dunno. I'll eat anythin'. Saskia: Nice. Ramiro: Military rations'll do that to you. Zero: I like sugar. And meat. And apricot jam. Ciro: You are... Saskia: Random... Ciro: Yes. Zero: Why? I love apricot jam. Ciro: Okay then. Zero: Is that a problem? Ciro: No. Saskia: Um... Questions? -------------------------------- Ciro: For a holiday: Beach or city? Saskia: Fruitcake...

I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It's just okay. There are so many better desserts that I can think of. 3) How do you deal with people who interfere in your life? Darren: I like to think I'm fairly open-minded about stuff like that. If my friends are interfering, I know it must be for a reason. I might be a little defensive at first, but I'll always seriously consider what they're saying. ~*~ 1) What would your friends say is your biggest flaw? 2) Suddenly, one day, everyone you know seems to not know who YOU are. Now what? 3) What do you think of your body?

Xavi: 1) What would your friends say is your biggest flaw? I have been known to be somewhat panicky in dangerous situations. Or not so dangerous situations. Or when I just panic for no reason. Also, I have a habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. WHich sometimes causes arguments. And upset. All unintentional. Mostly. 2) Suddenly, one day, everyone you know seems to not know who YOU are. Now what? I'm used to it. I lived on the streets for over a year. Being homeless is like being invisible. Only being invisible is much more fun, trust me. *smiles* 3) What do you think of your body? I... It's not bad. I'm not too fat, not too thin and realtively in shape. Also, I don't have a lot of marks or spots or anything. I like my body... It's the best body I've ever had. 1) You're at a friend's house and are presented with food you hate... What do you do? 2) Any allergies? 3) You're on a sinking ship: Help others or jump in the lifeboat and go?

1) What would your friends say is your biggest flaw? Lanavil: Well Strayland would say it was my... how did he put that *thinks for a moment* Oh! Right, he says I Am inclined to never disincline myself from the sea of worldly inclinations, and therefore I am inclined to become attatched to a group of people that are inclined to the said inclinations, and thus I am inexplicably drawn to the strife of the said group... He's a politician, what can I say? And I should say that he is my dad, but Halflanica would say the same thing, only like this "You're always going along with the wrong crowd and so you always end up getting caught in their trouble." 2) Suddenly, one day, everyone you know seems to not know who YOU are. Now what? Lanavil: I go places where people don't know me all the time, but if m best friends had no idea... I guess I'd just make friends with them again. 3) What do you think of your body? Lanavil: Hmmm, good question.. well I am part Zalin and part elf, and both races are naturally born with a good figure, but unfortunatly I have this thing.. for Hunfoy.. It's kinda like what they call 'Chocolate' in our bedtime stories, and so it's ruined my figure a little bit. But in general I like my body, I'm not as tall as Achronofanalia because, like I said, I'm part elf.. but yeah.. I like my body.

Ummm We all got muddled up again. Anyway... Saskia: 1) Who is your best friend? Emilio. Ah, dear monkey boy. He's not the sharpest tool in the box, but he's loyal and well meaning. Also, he's easy for me to coerce... 2) Do you like to work at night or during the day? I don't like to work. If I have to, then daytime. 3) What do you want to do with your life? Um... At the moment, I just don't want to die. I mean... It's one of those things. Personally, i think the group I work for should go public so we can reap the rewards of fame and fortune.... 1) You're at a friend's house and are presented with food you hate... What do you do? 2) Any allergies? 3) You're on a sinking ship: Help others or jump in the lifeboat and go?

1. You're at a friend's house and are presented with food that you hate . . . What do you do? Irene: Eat it. The taste of food does not matter when compared to good manners. Catherine: What Irene said. Children of the diplomat have to learn how to eat many strange food. Randy: If I could get away with it . . . I'd throw it at them. Nolan: I would take a bite and leave the rest. Ruben: Who cares what it tastes like? It's FOOD! Lon: Eat it. Sierra: Eat only enough to be polite. Briana: I would take one bite, then offer to provide some of my own food to them. 2. Any allergies? Nolan: Can I say I'm allergic to that fish? It's disgusting. Ruben: I'll eat it. It's food! Isaac: I think I have a minor allergy to strawberries. Irene: Or do you just hate strawberries, Papa? 3. You're on a sinking ship? Help others or jump in the lifeboat and go? Randy: Go . . . unless some people close to me were on board. Irene: Someone would make me get in the lifeboat. Micah: Help others. Lon: If my brother's on board, I'm helping him. Nolan: What? A boat sinking? I've already been thrown over the side once. But anyway, I've got to help, or people will blame me for the problems. They might blame me anyway, but I'd still help them. Sierra: Help people. Briana: And then Sierra would end up in trouble herself, knowing her, and we'd all have to go help her. Ruben: I wouldn't let the boat sink. Nolan: Don't overextend yourself again, lad. 1. What's the worst thing that's happened to you? 2. What's the best thing that's happened to you? 3. What kind of footwear do you prefer?

Jasira, because she never gets to answer. 1) What's your favorite accessory to wear? I don't know if it counts as an accessory, but I have a giant cardigan which is good for hiding in when I don't want people near me. I wrap myslef up and it sends out a good 'stay away' message. 2) What's your favorite holiday? I love taking beach holidays in winter. I know that sounds crazy, but for me it's not about swimming and sunbathing, it's about the scenery. The colour of the sky and the waves picking up and crashing into the shore. It's poetic. 3) How's life treating you? Not too well, actually. Thank you for asking. My 'friends' seem to think I'm just out to annoy them. Believe it or not, I didn't attempt suicide to irritate them. My family don't seem to care, I'm just a disappointment to them. Sometimes I feel like it would be better if I wasn't here. I feel like even the people who are meant to care about me don't... Xavi (butting in): This is why. We get this ALL day. Moaning and self pity... Jasira again: STAY OUT OF MY QUESTIONS. You see? This is what I get all the time. My friends don't care, I have to live with that obnoxious little squirt, my own mother treats me like I did something terrible to her. Sorry, I guess you just wanted a basic answer but I so rarely get to chat anymore. *sniffs* Sometimes I wish my life would just be over... Zero: I can see to that. *grins* Jasira: .... I have to go now. ----------------------------- 1) When something's not gone your way, are you stoic or moany? 2) Favourite colour to wear and why? 3) Do you fit any stereotypes?

I also want to return home to Tawon, but that won't happen until my brother is dead. 3. Yes I would. I would be alive again and not on the run from Saurlon.

1) Got any illnesses? Axel: Fine. I have albinism. Wren: And. Axel: And obsessive compulsive disorder. Beatrix: And. Axel: And jerk nystagmus. But that comes from albinism so I did not think that really counted. Beatrix: And. Axel: I don't have any more illnesses. Are you just trying to get me to say a long list of my ailments?! Because I don't have *that* many. Beatrix: Well at least you admitted all of them... Axel: You make it sound like I'm at a confessional. Wren: I'll confess some too. I have... let's see here... Beatrix: I have ... a missing hand. Wren: That's not an illness! Axel: And you have a perfectly good prosthetic. Beatrix: I'm in ship shape other than that though! Axel: *facepalm* 2) Ever have hope that things'll improve? Beatrix: Yes I do, I'm an optomist. Wren: Me too, but I love my life right now. It doesn't need to improve one bit. Axel: My life is better than it's ever been, but yes I do hope to see some improvement. Wren: Can I ask in what area? Axel: You don't need to ask if you can ask. That was a question in itself and I've answered it, effectively ending the conversation. Wren: But now I'm saying "In what area?", restarting the conversation. Axel: *quietly* I want to handle my OCD. Wren: *smiles* I think we can manage that. 3) Would you go to war if ordered? Wren: YES. I want to see the world! And I can fight if I do say so myself. Beatrix: We would never get called to war anyway, we're ladies. Wren: But would you go if you were a man? Beatrix: No, I... well wait, I would want to serve my country so probably yes. Wren: That's the spirit! Axel: I agree I would feel the peer pressure to go, but I have been called to war once and refused. I would be the most deadly weapon any army could have, so I would never give any country, even my own, that huge advantage. Beatrix: *laughs* You're pompous today. Axel: I can make any machine explode with my mind. Do you *think* any army would come out alive? Beatrix: I was kidding but now I'm slightly afraid for my metal hand. Axel: As you should be. ----------------------------------- 1. Can you keep plants alive? 2. Do you ride public transportation? 3. Would you trick-or-treat on halloween (at your current age)?

Due to a mix up, Xavi will answer six questions and leave three, then we should all be sorted out again. Xavi: 1) How old are you? I'm 30 years old. I'm also going to correct your text-speak because I dislike it. I'm always correcting Jasira and she hates it, yet I still do it. 2) Is your king a tyrant? We don't have a king. We live in a place which is ruled by an elected government. 3) Do you know what the heck Tawon is???!!!???!!!???!!! Um... No I don't. Maybe I'll check that out... 1. Can you keep plants alive? Yes, when I remember. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, I forget. Then they die and I feel bad. It uspets me for days. Now I just don't buy any anymore. Saves me a lot of grief. 2. Do you ride public transportation? Unfortunately I had to for a while. It's grim. I was supposed to have a company car but they kept delaying on actually sending it, so I had to go to work on the underground. There were never any seats and, due to being a little bit short, I'm at the height of some guys' armpits. It's very unpleasant. Also, those people who cough and sneeze everywhere. USE A TISSUE. 3. Would you trick-or-treat on halloween (at your current age)? No... We don't have halloween in my world, also if my alternate Earth was the real one, I'd be European which means trick-or-treating is non existent or at least quite a recent thing... I'm thirty now and I can buy all the sweets I need rather than annoy my neighbours. Not least because my neighbours are not the friendliest either. I think they sell crack at the door rather than handing out sweets... ... ...I'm going to lock the door and put the chain on... Hold on. *a few minutes later* Glad I have a gun. Anyway, your questions: 1) How do you cope when you're frightened? 2) Would you rather be jailed with people or free in a world where you were alone? 3) Do you live in a safe area?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

harrypoter4ever — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:24:19 -0600

1) How do you cope when you're frightened? I kill something. Whether it's a human, plant, hurricane, or a fluffy little bunny, I will kill it. 2) Would you rather be jailed with people or free in a world where you were alone? With people, so I can kill them. 3) Do you live in a safe area? No _____________________________________________ 1) Do you live in a free society or not? 2) Who would be your boy/girlfriend? 3) Who would throw you in jail and why would they?

Spuggey — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:33:24 -0600

Emilio: (Because he never gets to answer... He's not very bright, that's why...) 1) Do you live in a free society or not? Um... Yes? I think so, for most people. Not for us though, because we're... *grins* Um... We're not allowed out. By the army. They keep us locked in here because we're... Not... normal. 2) Who would be your boy/girlfriend? What? *blushes slightly* If I had a choice? *goes red*... Um... Saskia... *gives an embarrassed smile while turning absolutely scarlet* 3) Who would throw you in jail and why would they? The army. Because I can fly... They don't like it. They think I shouldn't be. Okay... Questions... Um.... One Who are you closest to? Ah....It's hard to think of questions... Two... Have you ever been arrested? Three... Um... We're you good academically... at school?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

RaisinSpock — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:11:33 -0600

Who are you closest to? Have you ever been arrested? Were you good academically, at school? Who are you closest to? Amelia: Well..... I'm /not/ closest to my little brother... My mom and I are pretty close, but less so now that she's dating Greg. There are my friends from work, Jason and my boss, Julia. Julia runs the agency to find missing people, and JL and I work there. Jason: Well, I'm not sure who I'm closEST to, but I do have a lot of really good friends. There's my older brother, David, there's Julia and Amelia, there are my friends Ben and Walter.... Yeah, those are the people who I'm closest to. Have you ever been arrested? Jason: Well, I was taken into custody once by the police because I was investigating a building that had police lines around it and "NO TRESSPASSING" signs. The place was involved with a case, though, so I think I was justified. Amelia: Nope, I haven't been arrested. I'm a good girl. Were you good academically? (like at school) Amelia: Well, I was good in science. I was okay at math. Jason: I'm good at math, but I'm really bad at writing papers. I was overall an average student, I think. One thing, though, was that my teachers always said I had really good handwriting. But I think it only looked good because the rest of the people in my class wrote like cavemen. ((man i better not be getting ninja'd.)) What song describes you or your life best? Has anything particularly tragic ever happened to you? What do you think about how you look?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Steampunk avi8or — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:39:24 -0600

What song describes you or your life best? Wren: Anything by Green Day. Axel: Apparitions by Brian Balmages. Beatrix: But you don't just randomly appear... Axel: But that song is mysterious and haunting. Beatrix: Fine. My theme song is probably... a happy pop song. Wren: Stab me now. Beatrix: I was thinking something like Fly by Rhianna. Wren: An awful song. Beatrix: I came to FLYYYYYY!!! Has anything particularly tragic ever happened to you? Beatrix: Shut up Axel. Axel: I didn't say anything. Beatrix: But you were going to be like "WAAA my mommy abandoned me and I was bullied and abused!" Axel: I would /not/ have said it like that. Wren: *glares at Beatrix* Beatrix: Okay, fine, I'll share. When my sister basically begged me to kill her. *silence* Wren: When you were kidnapped, Axel. And then when Beatrix left to go stop Sergeant Gray I felt like everyone was abandoning me. Axel: See Beatrix, being abandoned is a real tragedy. Beatrix: I never sad it isn't. You're just a whiner. Wren: Notice how nobody apologizes to me. Axel: I don't angst. I simply relate my life story to an interested third party. Beatrix: That was random. Axel: Well it's true. Beatrix: .... What do you think about how you look? Axel: Other than being mistaken for a vampire astonishingly often, I'm happy with how I look. Wren: *shrugs* I look different from the "fashionable" snobbish twits. I'm good with my appearance. Beatrix: I have always wished I was blonde. Wren: Really? Beatrix: I was jealous of my sister's blonde hair. Wren: But she's a robot now, and her hair is literally platinum. *laughs really hard* --------------------------------------------- 1.

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:50:29 -0600

1. If you left your novel, what book would you go to? Randy: "Pawn of Prophecy." I know my author hates it, but I just adore Silk. Micah: Something really boring, I hope. Maybe one of the literary books the Lady Author despises where nothing happens. My life is far too interestingly dangerous. Irene: I call dibs on romance. Come to think of it, the author doesn't like those much either. 2. Do you know how to tie a tie? Micah: Yes. Irene: Yes. Randy: Yes. 3. What are you afraid of? Micah: Dragons. Completely terrified of dragons. Irene: I'm afraid of heights. Randy: I'm scared of men with pointy objects, but I try not to show it. What I really fear is that someone will figure out what I'm REALLY doing. That couldn't end well. 1. Do you ever get songs stuck in your head? 2. What do you do to cheer yourself up when you're feeling unhappy? 3. Who is your hero?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:01:42 -0600

Zero: 1. Do you ever get songs stuck in your head? Sometimes, but mostly just the voices of the things in the dark. 2. What do you do to cheer yourself up when you're feeling unhappy? I go out and steal nice things for myself. Sometimes I just sit in my corner. The things don't come in my corner because they know I'll hurt them. If I'm really unhappy, I might hurt something anyway. 3. Who is your hero? No one. I don't have a hero. Why should I look up to anyone in a world that hated me so much? -------------------------------------- 1) Do you ever wish you were a child again? 2) Have you ever watched someone you loved die? 3) Where is your special place?

Okay, I'm answering my own questions to bump the thread... Ramiro: 1) Do you ever wish you were a child again? Honestly? Yeh. I wish I could be safe and innocent again. It was easier then, and happier too. 2) Have you ever watched someone you loved die? Someone I really loved? No. I tend to run away before people can leave me, through death or otherwise. Ain't a great admission but it's the truth. 3) Where is your special place? Inside myself. When I'm in bed, I think about things. Inside my own head. That's where I go. ---------------------- 1) Are you introvert or extrovert? 2) How would you deal with a despot? 3) Do you make friends easily?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Terryn will answer these. 1) Are you introvert or extrovert? Introvert 2) How would you deal with a despot? I would live with it. May not like, but I would live with it. 3) Do you make friends easily? No. ---------------------- 1) Do your friends describe you as' loud and annoying' ? 2) What is your favorite thing to do? 3)What item do you most commonly use as a weapon?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Jessica Grace — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:35:32 -0600

1) Do your friends describe you as' loud and annoying' ? Sol: Loud? Annoying? Me? Absolutely not. My inconspicuousness is matched only by my delightful nature. Jade: Which are rivalled only by your great humility, and absolute regard for the rules. Sol: Of course. Jade, however, you can never get to shut up. Jade: *rolls eyes.* 2) What is your favorite thing to do? Jade & Sol, silmultaneously: Time travel. Sol: And pranks. The best ones are the ones where everybody knows deep down it was you, but they can't proove it. Jade: Pranks are fun, especially if I get to hack into something new. The school's getting pretty boring, tech wise, now. 3)What item do you most commonly use as a weapon? Sol: Me! Jade: Him. Actually, most of the time we avoid getting into situations where we need weapons, so you could say we use our brains. Sol: Really? You do? Jade: *to Sol* Shut up. *continuing* And I'm pretty good at inventing stuff, so in most circumstances, I can whip up some sort of blast gun or distraction charge, but yeah, being able to turn into a big silver spikey thing is pretty handy. Sol: Silverling, not big spikey thing. Jade: *grins* Whatever. Jade: So now I suppose we have to come up with some questions ourselves. Sol: Sweet! I've got one! Are you human? Or, well, actually: are you human genetically, and do you think you're human? Jade: I think that counts as two. Sol: It's one. Jade: Fine, but I get to do the next two. Sol: Be my guest. ... Sol: I'm waiting. Jade: If you'd stop talking and let me think... Right, I've got one. If you could travel to any time, or any place, where and when would you go? Sol: That's just a question. We're not actually going to take you there. Jade: *glares at Sol* And for the final question, what is your greatest adventure? Sol: You didn't. Jade: It's a good question. Sol: Just because Author asked you... Jess: They're going to keep going like that for ages now, so I think I will retrieve control. For anyone who's interested, asking Jade what her greatest adventure was was the main plot of their last short story. So, for those who saw the bulk of this and thought tl;dr, I present to you the questions: 1) Are you genetically human, and/or do you consider yourself to be human? 2) If you could travel to any time or place, when or where would you go? 3) What is your greatest adventure?

1. Are you genetically human, and/or do you consider yourself human? Nolan: I'm mostly human, but there is a drop of eleven blood. There's also unconfirmed rumors that one of the bloodlines goes back to dwarves. Briana: Yes, I'm human. Sierra: I'm human. Lon: Human. Ruben: My blood, according to Nolan, is about 87% human, and 13% elven. 2. If you could travel to any time or place, when or where would you go? Lon: My house, six weeks ago. Nolan: Two months after this journey ends. The place doesn't matter. *nod nod* Sierra: I'd want to see the city of Aurora under the rule of Lord Kayel, 250 years ago. Ruben: Fifteen years in the future in the city of Adair looks promising. Briana: The woodlands, ten years ago. 3. What is your greatest adventure? Nolan: This one. It's hard to beat a quest to free the Lady of Light. Lon: True enough. Sierra: I agree. It's been an adventure ever since they showed up at the inn? Briana: If fighting hordes of goblins from the back of a dragon doesn't count as an adventure, nothing does. Ruben: Unless the future holds something greater in store, which I doubt. 1.

Music? .... why are you asking me what sort of music I like? ..... Italian opera, okay. 3. What's your morning routine?

Ramiro: 1) Do you have any siblings? Yeh... Six. I was number five out of the seven. That put me not very high up in the queue for any parental attention. 2) What's your favourite colour? Favourite colours are irrational... I mean, how can you prefer one over any other.. They're just parts of the spectrum. That said, I kinda like blues. Shades of blue.

Melanie: 1) Do you feel comfortable at big social gatherings? Heck yes! Dances, parties, I don't care, I love 'em! 2) Do you sleep well at night? I try to; beauty sleep is highly important. 3) Ever thought you were making the wrong choice but gone ahead and done it anyway? Yeah...but can we not talk about it? It's embarrassing, and it makes me seem like a bad person --------------------- 1) How close are you to your family? 2) Where is your dream home? 3) What is/was/would be your favorite subject in school?

Ramiro (again): 1) How close are you to your family? Was close to my family years ago. Before the war and before... Yeh, well, that's not important. Couldn't go back now anyway. Haven't seen them in years... 2) Where is your dream home? Anywhere safe and quiet. 3) What is/was/would be your favorite subject in school? Anythin' to do with writing. Poetry, literature... Always liked that stuff. ---------------------- 1) Every written someone a poem? 2) Have you achieved you dreams? 3) Every been on a long journey?

1. Written someone a poem? Micah: I have. Irene wasn't impressed with my poor attempt at a ballad. She loved the limerick, though. Catherine: Quite often. But to really understand it, you have to know that the word "cerulean" indicates that new information has been learned. I did mention I'm the spy master, didn't I? 2. Have you achieved your dreams? Micah: Becoming a knight, check. Marrying and raising a family -- I'm getting there. Catherine: I'd say so. 3. Been on a long journey? Micah: Halfway across Larelm and back. Catherine: I've traveled a bit, since my father is an ambassador. 1. What's your social class? 2. What was your favorite subject in school? 3. Do you have a good memory?

What was your favorite subject in school? Mateo: Uh.... medicine? Akir: School? What school? 3. Do you have a good memory? Mateo. Fairly. Akir: Yep. Better than his anyway.... ____________________- 1. What is the very best thing/situation that ever happened to you? 2. What is the very worst thing/situation that ever happened to you? 3.

1. What is the very best thing/situation that ever happened to you? Jade: So far? I'd have to say getting to fly the Lady Fate. Sol: *rolls eyes* Of course. Because out of all our adventures, flying a newer timeship is way more exciting. Jade: Not just any timeship. The /Lady Fate/. She's accurate to days, or even hours, and has greater range and persistence than any ship before her... Sol: Alright, alright. Best thing that happened to me, well, it's more best thing I caused to happen... Jade: Get to the point. Sol: Calm down, cranky. Anyway, best thing. Probably the time we arrived half an hour earlier to the rest of the class, and managed to set everything up so it looked like they'd gone back to the time of Sovereign Marius. Jade. I even altered the displays on their ships to match. Sol: *grinning* And the head of school was on the trip, and got fooled as well. Jade: And they never, ever, realised it was us. Sol: So no telling, 'kay? 2. What is the very worst thing/situation that ever happened to you? Sol: The day I almost died, and didn't die, and found out I was a silverling. Jade: I thought you liked being a silverling. Sol: There's good parts and not so good parts. 3. What do you hope will happen in the future? Jade: I'm going to invent a timeship that can travel in space, as well as time. It's a real pain at the moment. All the ships worth using, to go anywhere worth going, you have to load them ever so carefully onto a transport, then fly to wherever, and it takes hours to get them ready for flight again. Sol: It would also mean that future students wouldn't be limited to empty jungle, empty jungle, and, if they're really lucky, empty jungle. Sol: I know how this works. Three questions, right? Jade: Like a reverse djinn. Sol: What's your favourite animal? Jade: Seriously? What is this, primary school? Um... Who's your hero? Sol: Three things you look for in a girl/guy/life partner/mate... Jade: We get the picture. Sol: And species only counts if you're not human.

1. What is your favorite thing about nature? Briana: Trees. I like trees. Sierra: I love the way the morning sun falls in golden shafts. Ruben: Stars. Lon: Rocks. Nolan: It's so hard to choose. I love the wind in my hair, and beautiful sunsets, and towering mountain peaks, and vast forests of evergreens, and birds singing sweetly, and majestic waterfalls, and gryphons, and . . . 2. What do you loath the most? Briana: Goblins. Lon: People who want me dead. Sierra: Vance. Ruben: Being hungry. Nolan: That fish the dwarves served -- it tasted like fried mud lightly seasoned with pond scum and sulfur. 3. Were you ever physically abused or bullied as a kid? Ruben: Does being chased out of the village by a mob with pitchforks count? Sierra: I wasn't ever physically abused . . . at least not until I met those pirates. Briana: Nope. Lon: No. Nolan: Yes, I was bullied. I'm a sorcerer; people don't like or trust sorcerers. But my big brother was always looking out of me. 1. Who is your favorite person in the world? 2.

1. Who is your favorite person in the world? Levi: Hank Green. Yuss. *nods* Have you seen the Vlogbrothers? Or Scishow? Or Crash Course? Uh-MAZE-ing. Veca: Yeaaaah... I'm gonna pretend I don't know him for a second while he geeks out. My favorite person is two people: my dads. Two better fathers and fae you will never meet. 2. Is there anyone you hate? Levi: DECEPTICONS! They are the antitheses of nerdfighters, fighting for worldsuck and against nerds everywhere. Veca: Still don't know him. I guess I hate Conner, Levi's bigot twin brother. 3. What did you have for breakfast? Levi: Vegan pancakes. They weren't bad. Veca BACON! Oh my god, can you say 'ambrosia'? I could eat nothing but bacon for the rest of my life and never get sick of it. 1.How do you like the way you look? 2.Ever consider going vegan? 3.What's your pet peeve?

1.How do you like the way you look? Alek: I don't tend to give it much thought; however, I am told that I am too thin. But that is coming from vampires who tend to be more well-fed than I. 2.Ever consider going vegan? Alek: All I need is blood...preferably from a hospital or blood bank. 3.What's your pet peeve? Alek: I don't know if this would be considered a "pet peeve" per se -- it's probably more of a caution thing -- but I get a little uncomfortable with people who are touchy-feely. The ones who want to hug all the time or like to be really close. It's not that I dislike the contact; it's that I don't want to be caught off-guard and feel tempted to take a bite out of their neck. *pause* I made that sound a lot worse than it actually is. And with people I know really well, it's not usually a problem at all. Anyway... ~*~ 1) What is your personal clothing style like? 2) Where are you from? 3) If you could have a cool nickname or code name, what would it be and why?

Thekherham here: I'm a Tereskadian. I don't wear clothes. I was born on the planet Tereskadhar, on a large island... I was born under water... All right, Kykherhenha, I won't give them all the details. I'm currently living in the city of Treskebhar, on the planet Alharhan. I don't want a cool nickname or code name. I like my name just fine. Here are the next three questions: 1) If you were a genie are there any wishes you would refuse to grant? 2) Would you mind living in a forest? 3) Are you old enough to have cubs and... I mean, children and grandchildren?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:58:26 -0600

1) If you were a genie are there any wishes you would refuse to grant? Nolan: I wouldn't kill people, so don't even ask. Lon: There are wishes I would refuse to grant. Briana: I can't think of any I would refuse flat out. Ruben: I wouldn't grant any wishes at all. I won't let people exploit me like that. Sierra: Still upset about the pirates, Ruben? I am too. I suppose, though, it depends on who makes the wishes. 2) Would you mind living in a forest? Briana: *falls over laughing* (She does live in a forest.) Nolan: I wouldn't mind. I've lived pretty much everywhere, and the trees are quite lovely. Lon: I would not mind. Ruben: I prefer farmlands, but I don't think I'd mind too much. Sierra: I wouldn't mind. 3) Are you old enough to have cubs and . . . I mean, children and grandchildren? Nolan: I'm old enough to have children, but I haven't yet. *Lon, Sierra, and Briana nod in agreement.* Ruben: I'm not old enough. 1. What's your favorite kind of weather? 2. Do you have any bad habits? 3. Do you get along with one of your parents more than the other?

1. What's your favorite kind of weather? Darren: I enjoy cold weather with lots of snow. It gives me a good reason to cuddle. 2. Do you have any bad habits? Darren: I have the unfortunate tendency to try and please everyone, to a fault. 3. Do you get along with one of your parents more than the other? Darren: Neither is comfortable or even accepting of my sexuality, so we don't get along well. But I do feel like my mom tries more than my dad. ~*~ 1) What was the last thing you said? 2) If it was totally up to you, what would your ideal mate look like? 3) What excites you?

Zero: 1) What offends you? People who don't do what I ask, or anyone that takes too long to answer me. I'm not very patient. 2) What is something the government doesn't let you do that you think is wrong? I don't think much is wrong. The government pays soldiers to kill people's families, so their morals are no better than mine. I figure those that can, do. If I can get away with something and I have something to gain, I'll do it. 3) Jewellery? What about it? I steal everything I want so I have some good stuff. The only piece I wear all the time is a silver bracelet that I got from... Someone.

Mind you, cake, ice cream and whipped cream would be a dessert that fits all the criteria... Saskia says I don't need mor sugar because it just makes me go hyper... MORE hyper... Am I hyper? 2) Rich or poor? Ah, in between. I was really, really poor, I mean I was homeless. Now I have a job and a dodgy flat with a broken boiler and criminals outside, which is why I go an stay with the others at Gregors. They moan at me a lot and tell me to shut up but I like to stay up and talk. 3) Do you swear? Only if you really piss me off. *grins* Yes, sometimes.

Joe: 1)Ever been in love? Yes. Such a long time ago. 2)Coffee or Tea? Coffee, I suppose. But mostly just beer. 3) If you would live on a deserted island with anyone, who would it be? Rob and I get along well, but sometimes I feel like he does things just to please me. Dan... *sigh* He and I don't get along well a lot of the time, but we are very similar. And maybe being thrown together would force us to sort through some things. My brother, Luke, is another candidate though. We get along well, for the most part, and I could probably relax more around him. Hm. I love my boys, but I think I'd have to go with Luke on this one. ~*~ 1) Ever killed anyone...or wanted to? 2) If you had to be someone else (who you know personally), who would you choose to be? 3) If you and your mate were to break up (if you don't have one, assume you did), what would be the most likely reason for the break up?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Jessica Grace — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:06:35 -0600

Cor: 1) Ever killed anyone...or wanted to? I /am/ a pirate. Do you really need to ask? 2) If you had to be someone else (who you know personally), who would you choose to be? Hmm, I think that would have to be Captain Julian Mako. The man's a genius. Understands the sea like you wouldn't believe. But really, I'd much rather be myself. 3) If you and your mate were to break up (if you don't have one, assume you did), what would be the most likely reason for the break up? Death. Hers or mine. I suggest you change the subject now, if you are wise. So, you want three questions now. Let me see. 1) Have you ever been to sea? 2) Have you ever broken the law? 3) What would it take to break you?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:18:06 -0600

1. Have you ever been to sea? Sierra: I want to someday. Lon: Short trips only, and that was quite a few years ago. Ruben: No. Briana: No. Nolan: Yes. The captain threw me over the side. 2. Have you ever broken the law? Ruben: I didn't want to, but those pirates threatened to kill me and my friend if I didn't. Lon: No, although I am technically an outlaw. Briana: I only killed in self-defense. If you want to count insulting the regent to his face, then yes, I have, and I'm proud of it. Sierra: I don't think so. Nolan: Well, the was the time my brother and I went grave robbing. But we were getting the body of my uncle. I've also been a spy. But I try not to break the law too often. 3. What would it take to break you? Ruben: Torturing friends in front of me. Sierra: Not a pleasant experience, Ruben. Nolan: I think I'd go insane if you tried burying me alive. Briana: I'd fight to the death before someone broke me. Lon: I do not break. 1. What color is your hair? 2. If you could visit any place, where would you go? 3. What is your weapon of choice?

Thekherham here, the official spokes... er... for us Tereskadians. Hair? Oh, you mean my fur. It's auburn, except for the black tip on our tails. Having lived on both Tereskadhar where I was born, and Alharhan, where I've lived for the last ten years, I would say... Bhortuyn Falls, that's where. That waterfall is huge... and wide... and I'd never seen anything like it on the island... where I was born, I mean. My weapon of choice is my claws. But just remember I have an extremely potent poison in there. (Want me tell them about... Oh... all right. That would take up about half a page. (Sorry, I was 'talking' with Kykherhenha.)) And now here are three of my questions: Do you wish you could fly? If somebody were to call you a disparaging name, what would you do? Are your grandparents still alive?

premiumcider — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:16:05 -0600

Do you wish you could fly? Luci: I can fly If somebody were to call you a disparaging name, what would you do? Luci: I'd be so hurt and shaken I wouldn't be able to act on the spot and then I'd hate myself for just standing there stuttering and not coming up with a clever come back to retort with. Are your grandparents still alive? Luci: My... grand... what? Leaving: Water with or without bubbles? Favourite time of year? If you could have one skill you don't have, what would it be?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:24:27 -0600

1. Long or short books? Nolan: Long. Sierra: Long. Series, if possible. Lon: Short. Briana: Short. Ruben: Um, I can't read. 2. Hobbies? Nolan: Back-flips, magical games, and juggling. Lon: Sword-fighting. Briana: Archery, wrestling, and tracking. Sierra: Story-telling and singing. Ruben: I really need to work on my magic. 3. Favorite relative/friend? Lon: My brother. Nolan: My brother, and my mother, and my father, and my grandfather, and . . . Ruben: Nolan. And he is my third-cousin, once-removed, so he counts as both, right? Briana: My father. Sierra: I like Lon, and Nolan, Briana, and Ruben. 1. Do you like your name? 2. How many children do you have/do you want to have? 3. Preferred method of communication? (Phone, letter, face-to-face, carrier pigeon, etc.)

Thekherham — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:56:24 -0600

Thekherham here: Yes, I like my name. I guess that's all I can say about that. I have three chil... well, I guess I'd have to say cubs. All female. Once you know the gender of the first cub, the other two are easy because the gender is always the same. (I have two brothers.) Preferred method of communication? I'd have to say whistling dragon. But since Alharhanians don't have whistling dragons, I guess face-to-face or videophone would be the next choices. 1) Have you ever been on top of a mountain? 2) Do you have any superpowers? 3) What is a food you absolutely refuse to eat?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:24:03 -0600

Nolan, at your service. 1. Have you ever been on top of a mountain? Sure, I have. My father's kinfolk live in the shadow of Mount Didymus. I climbed it for the first time when I was twelve. I've climbed it twice since then. I've also climbed Mount Emerald, Mount Emberyl, and Mount Ether. 2. Do you have any superpowers? Does the ability to create fire with my mind, manipulate wind, and levitate small objects count? Then yes. I am a sorcerer, after all. Whether or not those powers are super is up for debate. 3. What is a food you absolutely refuse to eat? Whatever that fish was the dwarves served at the Midsummer banquet. Disgusting! Lord Oradan says it's a rare delicacy, but I couldn't stand it. Some fish is fine, but what in the name of the eight elves did they season it with? Pond scum? Mold? That was the worst thing I've ever tasted. Ruben had my share. He'll eat anything. 1. Do you keep a lot of secrets? 2. Do you have a good memory? 3. What is your favorite scenery? (Mountains, tropical beach, etc?)

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Jessica Grace — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:58:27 -0600

Laike Mern: 1. Do you keep a lot of secrets? That's a bit of an odd question, isn't it? I mean, if I did, I'd hardly tell you, would I? 2. Do you have a good memory? Most of the time. Lately it's been a bit fuzzy, though. 3. What is your favorite scenery? (Mountains, tropical beach, etc?) The Tirolema Nebula in the Kados system is probably my favourite. The crystal spires of anceint Baladeen aren't bad either. 1) What do you believe in? 2) Where are you from? 3) If you could have any creature as a pet, what would it be?

(Emilio: I'm NOT A MONKEY!) Well, you are really. And what'll happen to you when your parents are gone if I don't take care of you? 1) What's the best thing that happened to you in the novel you were in? 2) And the worst? 3) Do you have any features (physical or otherwise) you'd like to change?

Dan: 1) What's the best thing that happened to you in the novel you were in? Dad seems to actually be trying to get along with me lately. I don't know what changed, but I'm not going to take it for granted. 2) And the worst? Dad getting shot... 3) Do you have any features (physical or otherwise) you'd like to change? I'm pretty stubborn. *pause* Okay...VERY stubborn. I take after my father that way, but I'm not exactly thrilled about it. Physically? Up until recently, I would have said the scar on my stomach. But now I'll have to say the pretty fresh and not-so-hot scar running from my temple to nearly my jawline. I haven't gotten used to my new reflection yet, but luckily I wear my hair pretty shaggy...enough to cover it up for the most part. ~*~ 1) Who do you look up to? 2) What is the worst thing you have done to someone else? 3) ...why did you do it?

Nolan again. 1. I look up to my brother, Cori. 2. I punched my cousin in the face. 3. That was for exploiting my friend. Not to mention how she'd just shoved me off the roof. So then I captured her and turned her over to the king's executioner, but I don't feel guilty about that. 1. Is there anything you would not do, no matter how much someone offered you? 2. Who is your least favorite relative? 3. Do you have any pets?

Slaughtershy here. Let's get these questions over with so I can go back to killing other ponies. 1. Is there anything you would not do, no matter how much someone offered you? Kill my daughter. Eastern is my child, even if she came from a rape when I was a child. I love her, and would never harm her in anyway. 2. Who is your least favorite relative? Hmmm. Well, I don't really have any relatives, since I already killed them all. 3. Do you have any pets? I have Angel, a girabbit. He's half giraffe, half rabbit. All amusing. And quite good at killing ponies. Now, I suppose you want me to leave some questions, so here you go. 1. What was the most traumatic event you can remember ever having happening? 2. Are you still scared of it happening again? 3. Do you talk to inanimate objects? Slaughtershy out.

This is Thekherham, your friendly, neighborhood (QED) Tereskadian. 1. The most traumatic event? Just a minute while I confer with my whistling dragon... ... ... ... The reason I'm hesitating is that I've had a few traumatic events. I'd have to say the rape of my mother... and her and my father's murder. That kind of... turned my life around... All right, I don't want to talk about it anymore. 2. No, I don't think so. Because of the Tereskadian Act, the events like the one I described above will never happen again. 3. No, I just 'talk' (telepathically, that is) with Kykherhenha. My questions: 1. Do you have someone you can communicate with telepathically? (That question is from Kykherhenha) 2. Do you have any religious beliefs? 3. Is your world mostly land? mostly water? or about half and half?

Emilio: 1. Do you have someone you can communicate with telepathically? (That question is from Kykherhenha) Yeah... Iago... He's my... well... He's kind of me. It's difficult to explain. 2. Do you have any religious beliefs? I'm not really sure. I used to think there definitely was a God and then my friend Saskia tried to explain her point of view... That there isn't. But I'm still not sure. It seems like there's too many things that we don't... can't understand. It's confusing. I like to think there is a God. 3. Is your world mostly land? mostly water? or about half and half? What? Both... About 60/40 water... It's Earth. Earth is mostly water isn't it? -------------------------- 1) Who's the most important person in your life? 2) If you could have a superpower, what would you choose? 3) Do you think most people are good?

Alythea: 1. Who's the most important person in your life? Person? What's the definition of person? Because if you define it like I do it's Skyler, my hearing dog. Since I'm deaf she makes sure I know when someone knocks on the door and stuff like that. I can't go anywhere without her so, Skyler. 2.If you could have a superpower, what would you choose? The ability to talk to animals. Like I already know what Sklers thinking (in her way) most of the time but if I could really communicate with her and other animals? That would be so cool! 3. Do you think most people are good? No. Like don't get me wrong but honestly is anybody really good? Like sometimes yeah but all the time? No. We all would rather be bad. I don't know (well really I do but) about you but no onone ever had to teach me to throw fits, or lie, or disobey my parents. It's just something we do. So no, I don't think most people are good. But that does not mean I think people are bad. People are... human. _______________ 1) Who do you want to emulate in life? 2) Who is you greatest enemy? 3) What is your biggest pet peeve?

Pinkamena Diane Pie, here to answer the previous two posters questions, because one Ninja'd the other, then didn't bother to fix it. DarkPassengers questions read: 1) What is your mood usually like? Depressed, usually. Unless I'm in the shop. Then, well, I wouldn't really call it happy, but I do feel better. 2) Do you think you are more left-brained or right-brained? Right brained. Deffinately. 3) An acquaintance of yours is injured and shackled in a room with a bomb and you're not sure you can free him in the next ninety seconds before the bomb goes off: what do you do? Well, I suppose it depends on the pony. If it's Scootaloo, I'll save her. Because I promised her that no matter what happens, I'll be there for her. And promises are something I always keep. LilyLiraLaton asked: 1) Who do you want to emulate in life? Myself. I'm already who I want to be. Though I do wish my friends would accept that. 2) Who is you greatest enemy? Anypony who wants to stop me from my craft. But most especially, Twilight's little doll thing, Nitwhite. That things just creepy. 3) What is your biggest pet peeve? Ponies who ask me pointless and stupid questions. Like this one. Now, here's my questions for you: One: What's your favorite meathod of killing pnoies? Two: Do you prefer your pony meat baked or seared? Three: You find out that a close friend of yours is slowly slaughtering other friends. Do you report them to the Princess, or do you allow them to continue, or even join them? Pinkamena out.

Peter (from my upcoming project "SummerWriMo") 1. Paperwork and filling out forms with my personal information on it.

No one in particular, but I do have some crazy "fans" that never shut up (I'm a boxer, so I guess having fans is a requirement). 3.

Rob: 1) Which one of the seven deadly sins have you committed the most? Most definitely wrath. 2) What song annoys you the most? Luckily I control most of what I listen to. Occasionally when I head into a convenient store, though, they will be playing some annoying pop song that makes me want to blow my brains out. 3) How do you think you will eventually die? Well, assuming I don't actually blow my brains out because of a song... taking my lifestyle into consideration, it will probably be at the hands of a killer. ~*~ 1) What's the worst thing you've done to someone you love? 2) Urban or rural? 3) What's your weapon of choice?

Nolan. 1. What are your hobbies? Storytelling, juggling, skipping rocks, acrobatics, making pictures out of fire -- when I was younger, I often climbed trees and jumped out of them, seeing how long I could fly. 2. If you could teleport to any location right now, where would you go? Shaving a week off this trip doesn't sound too bad. 3. What did your "worst day ever" consist of? Well, the morning started out with another assassination attempt. Then I got into a fight with my traveling companions. The weather was terrible. And I got arrested for spying, and I spent the night in a terrible dungeon cell (I'm very claustrophobic), awaiting my execution, while I was tortured for information about my friends. Yes, that sums up my worst day. (Author's note: That also sums up about six chapters.) 1. What's one of the hardest decisions you've had to make? 2. Do you have any nieces or nephews? 3. How many books do you read in a month?

I'm still not sure whether or not I made the right choice. 2. Do you have any nieces or nephews? No. My brother never had children. 3. How many books do you read in a month? I don't have time to read books unless it's for research purposes that will lead me closer to the man I hunt. ~*~ 1) Do you prefer company or solitude? 2) When was the last time you cried? 3) What motivates you?

Spuggey — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:58:58 -0600

Xavi: 1. What's one of the hardest decisions you've had to make? Pulling the trigger. It's kind of funny because it was a split second decision but it seemed to take a lot longer and afterwards... there's just the questioning. Was it right? Wrong? It's hard to know. I mean, he was going to shoot me, or Ciro, and I didn't mean to... It's a hard decision to live with. It's either that or the choice I made regarding Alice. That was one I had time to think about. Had a long time to think. And I decided that it was the only option... It's not that I knew she'd kill herself because of what I did, it was just that making her aware of what she'd done was a cruel thing to do. Maybe it makes me as cruel as her. Maybe it's not my place to dispense any sort of justice. I dunno. 2. Do you have any nieces or nephews? Last thing I knew, I had a baby niece... She'd be about seven now. I've not seen her, nor my brother, in years. I miss them. 3. How many books do you read in a month? Ah... A lot. Depending on what's going on in my life. In a busy month, two or three. In a less busy month, five or six. More if I'm locked up somewhere (hmmm... happens more than you'd think). I love to read, because I love to learn. I think you can learn from fiction too - ideas, things that broaden the way you look at the world. But I enjoy non-fiction... books, magazines, newspapers, online articles. I'll read anything! Okay... Questions: 1) What's the worst injury you've ever had? 2) Have you ever betrayed someone you loved? 3) Are you happy with your life as it is?

Poor bloke. 3) What motivates you? Money! Yeah, Ciro will say I'm a cynic, but he's rich! 1) What's the worst injury you've ever had? 2) Have you ever betrayed someone you loved? 3) Are you happy with your life as it is?

DarkPassenger — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 04:24:19 -0600

( yay, I finally get to be a ninja! ;D ) Alek: 1) What's the worst injury you've ever had? The stake to almost-my-heart was pretty severe. A week had gone by before I was even coherent enough to remember what had happened. 2) Have you ever betrayed someone you loved? That's a loaded question. From my perspective, I would say no. But I did leave Sy's coven several years back and then I did plan to kill them when they came after me. He may see that as betrayal, but I saw it as trying to take care of and defend myself. 3) Are you happy with your life as it is? Another loaded question. Happy. I'm not unhappy, I suppose. We all have our days... ~*~ 1) Have you ever killed anyone...and if so, why? 2) What do you look like? 3) What is your biggest irrational fear?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:05:33 -0600

Xavi: 1) Have you ever killed anyone...and if so, why? Yes... One person, or two if you count Alice... I don't because Alice killed herself. There's an argument that I drove her to it. Anyway, yeah, the soldier. He was 'just following orders' I suppose. That's the reason they give. Like I said before, he was going to shoot me or my friend and I didn't have that much of a choice so... I shot him. I regret it. Wish it hadn't happened, but we were trying to save Gus and Beatrice, not to mention everyone else who was being locked up in that godforsaken place. We did save Beatrice... But Gus... Alice did what she had to do when she realised the law had caught up with her. 2) What do you look like? Saskia says I'm cute... Jasira says I'm a hideous little freak. But then Jas dislikes me immensely. I think Jas dislikes everyone she can't coerce. Anyway, I'm about 5'7"... I have black hair that likes to grow in directions it probably shouldn't, brown eyes, kind of... Um... I'm what Saskia calls 'coffee coloured'... Coffee with milk in I suppose... Paul is the colour of coffee minus milk. It's all confusing. Anyway! I have chubby cheeks that people squeeze, which is kind of irritating sometimes. Sometimes I like the attention. People think I'm strange. Do I come across as odd? Odd looking, I suppose. Or maybe just plain weird through and through. 3) What is your biggest irrational fear? I think all fears are rational, mainly because I have so many. You know when the boiler makes a funny noise? To everyone else it's air in the system or pipes expanding but to me it's imminent carbon monoxide poisoning. I was scared of blood poisoning when I got shot, and before that I was scared of getting shot. I'm scared of getting hurt because whenever we take part in anything as a group, I'm the one that ends up bleeding. Oh, and murderers, there's lots of murderers in my world... That's why I carry a gun everywhere. CIRO: (butting in) Xavi's biggest fear is the world around him. Xavi: Well... If you were me you'd be... CIRO: Short and paranoid? *laughs* Xavi: Okay... questions: 1) Are your colleagues respectful towards you? 2) When did you cry last, and why? 3) What's your personal hygiene like?

DarkPassenger — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:26:06 -0600

Rob: 1) Are your colleagues respectful towards you? My "colleagues" are my dad and brother. They can be pretty disrespectful to one another because they are EXACTLY alike and butt heads way too often. I tend to stay out of it for the most part. So, yes, they are respectful towards me. 2) When did you cry last, and why? I can't recall the last time I cried, honestly. It has been a while. 3) What's your personal hygiene like? *brushes dirt off his jacket sleeve* Well...I took a shower this morning, and my underwear's clean. I've got that going for me. ~*~ 1) Would you ever break up with someone for superficial reasons? 2) What was your childhood like? 3) Do you use/have you ever used illegal drugs?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:36:08 -0600

Saskia: 1) Would you ever break up with someone for superficial reasons? Define superficial... I'm very funny about certain things but I would never go out with someone with, say, rank teeth. That freaks me out. But break up... For what? Snoring? Not puttng dirty underwear in the basket? Um... Yeah, if it annoyed me enough. Maybe I'm just shallow. 2) What was your childhood like? Good. I had two good parents and an irritating but not unbearable brother. We had a nice home and fun holidays and then all the weird stuff happened... 3) Do you use/have you ever used illegal drugs? Nope. Don't, never have, never intend to. Hell, the way my life is going... Who needs drugs when reality is this twisted? 1) Is there anyone you pretend not to like? 2) What, if anything, do you self medicate with? 3) Go for a run or stay in bed till the last minute?

Darren: 1) Is there anyone you pretend not to like? While Bryce and I were apart, he briefly dated Sebastian. I don't know about pretending not to like him, but I have mixed feelings about him. I dislike him for obvious reasons, but he really is a good guy. Damn him for making it difficult to hate him. 2) What, if anything, do you self medicate with? Um, I tend to drink more alcohol than I should. And sometimes to "take the edge off," if you consider that self-medicating. And I know...that's not a good thing. 3) Go for a run or stay in bed till the last minute? Run? *chuckles* Definitely not. I'd either stay in bed until the last minute or get up just early enough to shower and maybe get a bite to eat. ~*~ 1) How do you think you will die? 2) If you had to live in another time period, which would you choose? 3) What do you typically worry about?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Xavi: 1) How do you think you will die? Violently. Because my life involves being constantly exposed to extreme violence. I hate it. I don't get why we can't all just be nice! 2) If you had to live in another time period, which would you choose? Oh... Nothing before antibiotics and anaesthetics. Seriously. Does 1980 count? I mean, people romanticise about times long past... It's not Pride and Prejudice. Not for 90% of people. We'd be living in filth... Hard work, struggling to feed yourself and if you got injured or ill? Well... let's just say if I could stay now, with antibiotics and hospitals and blood transfusions... Yep. Thanks. 3) What do you typically worry about? See questions one and two! *laughs* No, seriously, I do worry a lot. Mostly about pain and harm. To me. And others. I just don't like seeing things get hurt. 1) Are you soft hearted or tough? 2) A day on the beach or a walk in the forest? 3) Do you believe in karma? Or what goes around comes around?

Lately, though, I have had moments where I've felt that again, and I'm not sure what to think about that. 2) A day on the beach or a walk in the forest? Wherever the hunt takes me. Other than that, I don't care. 3) Do you believe in karma? Or what goes around comes around? I don't know about that. All I know is that my wife's murderer is going to get what's coming to him. ~*~ 1) If you were to go on vacation, where would you go? 2) What animal would you say you are most like? 3) What animal would those closest to you say you are most like?

Maths and physics because I found them boring. PE because I have no coordination. I was best at English, biology and history! 2) What is a pet peeve of others that bugs you the most? Emilio always being nice. Seriously, his pet peeve is other people being nasty... The boy is saintly. Sometimes I want to slap him. 3) How did you meet your best friend?

In order to get strong enough to face Syras and his coven, I had to feed on live. And I wasn't comfortable doing that to a stranger, so... I drank blood from my best guy friend's wrist. I can't even begin to count the ways in which that situation was strange. 2) Do you like learning new things? I do. 3) Are you active or lazy? Active, for the most part.

Xavi: 1) Are you in good shape? Yes. I mean, I'm physically fit and I have no serious ailments. I can run fairly well and I don't think being prone to getting hurt counts as being in bad shape. It just means things keep trying to kill me. If I wasn't in good shape I'd be pretty... dead... by now. More dead than I am. I am a bit dead. Does being a bit dead mean I'm in poor shape? I'm healthy for a mostly-dead guy. 2) Do you have any allergies? No. Wow! A one word answer from me... At least it was until I commented on it. 3) Your best friend is wielding a weapon in your direction...What is the most likely explanation for this? I don't really have a... ah... Well, I have several good friends and one of them wanting to kill me would probably be due to my tendency to annoy. Ciro says I should carry a hazchem label that says 'Warning: Irritant'.

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Joe: 1. What's the craziest thing you've ever done? Devoting my life to finding my wife's killer. 2. Have you ever been arrested? No. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if I were to get arrested in the future. I haven't exactly lived a crime-free life. 3. What's your favorite saying or oft repeated phrase? I say "Let's go" a lot because we are always on the move. "Focus on the job at hand" is another big one. ~*~ 1) Do you take care of yourself like you should? 2) What could you sit and do for hours? 3) Are you one to console others, or do you go the tough love approach?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:01:59 -0600

Xavi: Who always seems to answer... I must stop character favouritism!... Next time ;) 1) Do you take care of yourself like you should? Yes. Of course. I do a job where I often need to run away *fake cough* I mean, FIGHT. So it's important to keep in shape and be realtively healthy. I am actually not that prone to illness but stuff keeps attacking me. You know... Monsters, armed guards, frightening women (Jasira, Jodi, Alice... ) No one else gets attacked by scary ladies... 2) What could you sit and do for hours? Talk. Just... I love to talk about anything, to anyone. Generally someone'll tell me to shut up before long but occasionally I get someone cornered and they just have to sit there and listen. 3) Are you one to console others, or do you go the tough love approach? Console. Except sometimes people find it annoying so I just stay out of the way. My natural instinct is to hug people and console, though. We have Ciro if we need cold and aloof (he probably needs therapy... He says I do, but I'm not afraid of touching other human beings in a loving manner, he is.) Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of tough love, especially if someone wasn't entirely to blame for the position they're in. Sometimes, though, it's the only option. Evil Alice? Yeah, not even I was going to cuddle that. She had to learn. And man! She certainly learned her lesson! 1) Do you cope well when you haven't slept? 2) Who would you most like to be reuinited with, from your past? 3) Do you ever feel like an outcast?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

DarkPassenger — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:09:30 -0600

Darren: 1) Do you cope well when you haven't slept? No. Not at all. Bryce tells me I'm grumpy. Well, he pretty much tells me that every morning. I'm not sure I agree with him though. I like to think I'm pretty cheerful all the time. 2) Who would you most like to be reunited with, from your past? From my past... Hm. Well, it's not exactly like I never see them or anything, but my parents and I don't get along like we used to. Ever since I came out to them, they have been cold. Distant. I suppose I would like to be reunited with the old them. 3) Do you ever feel like an outcast? Not really. Despite my parents being standoffish and those random guys beating the crap out of Bryce and me, I have plenty of other people who do love and support me. So, no, I'm fortunate that I don't typically feel like an outcast. ~*~ 1) Do you tend to prejudge people? 2) Do you take any medication? 3) What do people say to you a lot? (i.e. Calm down, Don't do that!, Why are you looking at me that way?, etc.)

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:41:14 -0600

Xavi: (again...) 1) Do you tend to prejudge people? Me? No! *laughs* Yes. I can... I have this thing where I can tell if people are saying one thing but meaning another, if they're lying or trying to hide or fake an emotion. I'm not really prejudging so much as judging whether or not they're decietful or lying... Some people, most people, are always hiding something and admittedly much of it is harmless but... If you could see what I can see! Yeah. You'd be judging too... 2) Do you take any medication? No. Simple enough. Saskia says I need prozac. Or Ritalin. I don't think I need medicating. What some see as a clinical issue I consider to be an endearing personality trait! 3) What do people say to you a lot? (i.e. Calm down, Don't do that!, Why are you looking at me that way?, etc.) STOP. It's become a joke now. They seem to think that if you ask me a question I take the long way round answering and end up giving a long explanation without pause and at about two hundred words a minute but the thing is that I don't really always think things through because I don't like being put on the spot and questioned about things that might get me into trouble. Everyone's laughing. I'm doing it now, aren't I? Okay, well, yes, this is what I do and... Everyone else: XAVI! STOP. Xavi: Um... Stopping. Okay, questions... 1) Are you chatty or quiet? 2) What's your favourite way to spend an afternoon that's suddenly free? 3) Do you ever wonder if crazy people are telling the truth but the rest of us just don't know it?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

MariahBurkett — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:09:02 -0600

1) Are you chatty or quiet? I chat. A lot. Especially after using my power, because then it's like a loopy person talking all the time. 2) What's your favourite way to spend an afternoon that's suddenly free? Running from scientists, and driving cars madly around uninhabited areas. 3) Do you ever wonder if crazy people are telling the truth but the rest of us just don't know it? Yes. Some people say they're not evil like the rest of everyone, and I don't always believe them. ++++++ 1. How much of a procrastinator are you? 2. Do you like meat? 3. Do you have any pets?

A lot. 3. Do you have any pets? Yeah. Saskia. *laughs* She always gets to do that joke about me. My turn! 1) Do your parents love you? 2) Are you full of angst? 3) Do you hate it when people dress in black all the time because they think it's cool?

1) Do your parents love you? Randy: Yes. Micah: They did, but they're dead now. 2) Are you full of angst? Micah: I try not to complain about it. Randy: My life is interestingly complicated at the moment. 3) Do you hate it when people dress in black all the time because they think it's cool? Randy: Are you implying it doesn't look cool? Micah: Crazy mercenaries. That black leather gets HOT in the summer. I hated wearing that. 1. What was your favorite job? 2. Are you a morning person or night owl? 3.

Emilio: 1. What was your favorite job? I've never had a job. I was at university when I... this happened. I'm a superhero. Is that a job? 2. Are you a morning person or night owl? Definitely night. I'm a bit slow in the morning. 3. Have you ever stayed up all night? If so, what were you doing? Talking. Mostly to Saskia. Also, I've stayed up all nights when there's been serious stuff happening. 1) Would you ever have a sex change? 2) Do you like your face? 3) Can you sing well?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 19:50:55 -0600

Hey, you know who this is, don't you? Would I have a sex change? If I had were to have a sex change, then Kykherhenha would need one too, and if she had one, my mate Rhalhea would have to have one too and if... Oh, you get the picture, don't you? Well... actually I wanted to ROTFLMAO, but I wanted to be polite. Do I like my face? Long, pointy... all right, you humans would probably call it fox-like snout... and these two sets of whiskers... and small pointy ears with those fine hairs around the perimeter... (that only we males have), and large, dark eyes so full of expression... Cut it out, Thekherham. Can I sing well? Does a bear... well, I better not say that? How about... Can a whistling dragon fly? All Tereskadians can sing rings around... a lot of so-called singers. And we have our own private accompaniment. I guess I should ask some questions. Do you like playing video games? Are you going to visit a friend soon? What planet are you from?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Darkfeather21 — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 19:58:48 -0600

Eadaes here, ready to answer my good freind Thekherham's questions. Do you like playing video games? Well... No. Video games are solely the property of those who are lazy and unproductive, which I am neither. I exercise, I eat right, I own my own buisiness selling chunks of my crystal body off as jewelry. Are you going to visit a friend soon? Maybe I'll drop by Thekherham's place later, see how he's doing. What planet are you from? Petrosapien Colony world three. That's the official star-book name, though the native inhabitants call it Jormunkrul.

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:01:35 -0600

Darkfeather21 — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:33:26 -0600

Sorry, forgot my three. 1. What's your favorite crystal/gemstone? 2. Where would you most like to go, in the entire universe? 3. What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, but only seen once?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:18:46 -0600

1. What's your favorite crystal/gemstone? Nolan: Quartz crystals. They're quite useful in certain magics. Ruben: I like emeralds. Sierra: Sapphires. Lon: Diamond. Briana: Does obsidian count? We do use it for jewelry sometimes, although I prefer something sharper. 2. Where would you most like to go, in the entire universe? Nolan: So difficult to choose, but I am rather partial to a highland village called Twelve Falls. Sierra: I want to see the coastlands and the great cities of Aurora and Moray. Lon: Moray. Ruben: Home. Briana: It would be interesting to see the coastlands. 3. What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, but only seen once? Nolan: Arian, Lady of Wind. (What can I say? Good looks run in the family.) Sierra: Gryphons flying against the sunset, near a towering waterfall. Briana: The clan cheering for me after I was named a warrior. Ruben: The tears in Papa's eyes. Lon: My friends coming to my aid, when I thought no one would. 1. Is there anyone you really hate? If so, who is it? 2. What is your favorite season? 3. Do you easily trust people?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

DarkPassenger — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:03:14 -0600

Lukas: 1. Is there anyone you really hate? If so, who is it? I don't hate anyone. I'm pretty easy-going, and if I don't like someone, I just try to avoid them altogether. 2. What is your favorite season? Summer. I'm hesitant to say why, but I suppose it's no secret. As a vampire, it's easier to find someone to feed on when the weather is nice and people stay out longer. 3. Do you easily trust people? Yes. I am very trusting. Too trusting, I know. ~*~ 1) Your best friend took off five years ago and you are seeing him for the first time since then...how does that go? 2) Who do you trust the most? 3) Do you like yourself?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Darkfeather21 — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:46:54 -0600

1) Your best friend took off five years ago and you are seeing him for the first time since then...how does that go? Pinkamena: I kill them, because the only reason I'd see them again would be if their number came up in the drawing. Rainbow: Well, depends. Did they leave because they betrayed me? If that's the case, their lives are forfit. Eastern: It doesn't happen. 2) Who do you trust the most? Pinkamena: Scootaloo. Rainbow: Fluttershy. Eastern: Rainbow Dash. 3) Do you like yourself? Pinkamena: Myself? Well, that's a tough question. I mean, I like myself as a person, but I hate the monster that I've become. Rainbow: I love myself, and I don't care what others say about me. Eastern: I'm the child of my mothers rape. I'm her constant reminder of what happened thirteen years ago, and though she says she loves me, I know it's forced. So, in short, no. I hate myself. New questions: Pinkamena: When was the last time you killed someone? Rainbow: What's the longest time you've ever gone without food or water, and do you think you could go longer? Eastern: Have you ever considered raping someone?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 08:06:06 -0600

Zero: Pinkamena: When was the last time you killed someone? Last week. I mean, I'm supposed to be cutting down. On killing people. Rainbow: What's the longest time you've ever gone without food or water, and do you think you could go longer? I can go a hell of a long time. The longest? Without water.. when I was still like everyone else... over a day. Without food? Longer, three days maybe? I forget. I was six. It happened a lot. That's why I fucking hate this world. They all deserve to die. Eastern: Have you ever considered raping someone? Ha ha ha. No. Why the hell would I have to do that? Women would sleep with me willingly if I act polite for five minutes. They're shallow. They don't bother getting to know you. If they got to know me first they'd run a mile, wouldn't they? *evil grin* Luckily I don't like being touched. Nor do I want to touch anyone else in a non violent way. (Spuggey: Zero needs therapy. This may be adressed in book four...) 1) Do you exercise? 2) Have you ever had therapy? 3) Do you have any strange abilities for your species/world?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

DarkPassenger — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:59:37 -0600

Darren: 1) Do you exercise? I didn't much until Bryce and I broke up for a while. I needed something to do. Then, I dated Jer briefly, and he exercises like it's going out of style, so I started too. But it's been a while since I've exercised for the sake of exercising. I think I've put on a little winter weight though, so it might be time to start again. 2) Have you ever had therapy? No. Although, I'm not opposed to it, and I honestly think I'd have plenty to discuss. 3) Do you have any strange abilities for your species/world? No. Nothing strange. ~*~ 1) Do you have any addictions? 2) What do people tease you about the most? 3) Are you more passive or aggressive?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 22:59:52 -0600

Micah here. 1. Do you have any addictions? Nope. Knights are supposed to avoid anything which might hinder their ability to serve the king at all times. 2. What do people tease you about the most? My peasant upbringing, my lack of education, my singing voice, my rough manners, my clumsiness . . . I get teased a lot. 3. Are you more passive or aggressive? I can be quite aggressive. Just ask the mercenary I stabbed in the foot. 1. Do you obey the rules, bend them, or break them? 2. Do you have a good memory or forget things easily? 3. Do you have a name for your car/computer/sword/any other random object?

Rob: 1. Do you obey the rules, bend them, or break them? *chuckles* Break. Definitely. 2. Do you have a good memory or forget things easily? I don't forget the important stuff. 3. Do you have a name for your car/computer/sword/any other random object? Uh, no. But if I did, I'd probably have names for my car and gun. ~*~ 1) Do you have any illnesses? 2) Are you a morning person or night person? 3) Do you drink alcohol?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 06:29:36 -0600

Thekherham here to answer your questions: 1) Tereskadians don't get sick. 2) I'm a morning Tereskadian. Both Rhalhea - that's my mate - and I get up early to get two of our three daughters ready for school. 3) I don't drink alcohol, only the milk of my whistling dragon. My questions: 1. If you could predict events in the future would you share them, or would you keep them to yourself. 2. Are you satisfied with the politics where you live? 3. Are you a twin?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

martianlunatic — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 22:01:44 -0600

Answering as Kaiya Averone! 1. If you could predict events in the future would you share them, or would you keep them to yourself. It depends on if I thought telling anyone would make a difference or not. I'd probably keep it to myself and try to handle it on my own, though. 2. Are you satisfied with the politics where you live? Is anyone ever really satisfied with politics? Nobody who pays attention is, at least as far as I'm concerned. But when you're homeworld's been ruled by a family with a penchant for insanity for as many generations as mine has, you sort of become jaded about the whole thing. 3. Are you a twin? No, I just play one on TV. My Questions: What's your biggest regret? What's the one thing you want more than anything? What were you afraid of when you were a kid?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 05:46:35 -0600

Zero: What's your biggest regret? Huh? What's the point in regretting anything? Can't change it. *crosses arms and sits looking angry* Okay, fine... Probably hiding when the soldiers came. I should have... I was... *quietly* scared. Just scared. What's the one thing you want more than anything? To tell them I'm sorry I didn't help. What were you afraid of when you were a kid? The soldiers coming back. 1) Who do you miss most? 2) What's your worst emotional scar? 3) Do you ever wish you could go back in time and change things?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:29:22 -0600

Thekherham: 1) You had to ask that question, didn't you? Of course it's my parents. My mother was raped by... never mind his name, I don't even want to think about it. And she and my father were murdered. Can you believe I wanted to put 'killed' but that word sounds so mundane, doen't it? It could be applied to anything. But 'murdered'... yeah, that's... My whistling dragon is telling me to shut up, and I don't blame her. 2) Worst emotional scar. Well... see above. And how about the time twenty-six cubs and whistling dragons were murdered aboard the spaceliner traveling from Tereskadhar to Alharhan. That left a pretty big emotional scar. And... All right, Kykherhenha, I'm not going to go overboard here. 3) Papa used to say Why dream about the past if you can't return to it. But to answer your question, I'd like to go back to the time before the Alharhanians came to our planet, and somehow prevent them from coming to Tereskadhar... but that's a fruitless wish, isn't it? But my parents would still be alive, those cubs I mentioned in answer 2) would still be alive... all those Tereskadians that Jhar Mornel raped and murdered (Yes, I mentioned his name) would still be alive... But like I always say: Wishes are for fools and dreamers... Here are my questions: 1) Do you eat anything unusual? 2) Are you involved with the theater? 3) Are you superstitious?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:52:36 -0600

Randy. 1. Do you eat anything unusual? I ate my pillow once. Don't worry; I cooked it first. 2. Are you involved with the theater? Not at the moment, but I'd be great if I were. Acting is one of my best skills. 3. Are you superstitious? Should I be? I suppose I could make people think I am, but superstitions aren't all that rampant in Helias, where I was born, and they are in Westmar, but I don't want to give the impression I'm from there at the moment . . . *laughs and runs* 1.

Santeri: 1. What is your dream job? I've always seen myself working with music in the future. So, maybe a musician of some kind? 2. If someone came over for dinner, what would you serve? Their favourite food. Or something so weird that they don't know if they like or hate it! 3. What was your least favorite subject in school? Maths. It's uninteresting to me. --- 1. Do you prefer the past, the present or the future? 2. Are you scared to fall in love? 3. Is family important to you?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

larelmian — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:16:38 -0600

1. Do you prefer the past, the present, or the future? Nolan: Present. Enjoy the moment. Lon: Past. Briana: Future. It's got to get better than this. Sierra: Present -- I'm on the adventure I always wanted. Ruben: Future. The present isn't the best, and I don't even want to talk about the past. 2. Are you scared to fall in love? Sierra *giggling*: I am in love. Nolan: No, I'm not. Lon: It does not matter. My personal feelings have nothing to do with what will happen. Briana: A little bit, although it would have to be a remarkable man to win me over. Ruben *complete blank stare*: Not really, I guess. (Ruben is barely twelve.) 3. Is family important to you? Sierra: Very important, even though I'm leaving the nest now. Ruben: *tears well up in eyes* I miss my mama! Nolan: Family is extremely important to me. I love my parents, my brother, my grandparents, aunt, uncles, and most of my cousins. (There's one cousin who's tried to kill me; she's insane.) Briana: My father taught me everything I know; he's the most important person in my life. Lon: Yes. 1. Have you ever talked or walked in your sleep? 2. Do you like children? 3. What is your favorite color?

Darren: 1. Have you ever talked or walked in your sleep? I'm not a sleepwalker, but sometimes I talk in my sleep. Bryce says he can never really understand what I'm saying, though. 2. Do you like children? Yeah, I suppose. I haven't been around too many. My cousin has a kid she brings around once in a while. I do want my own children, though. Eventually. 3. What is your favorite color? I'm not too picky. It really depends on my mood. I'm drawn to cooler colors, but my wardrobe is a colorful assortment. ~*~ 1) How often do you get your hair cut? 2) What was your last argument about? 3) Which do you choose: You kill the bad guy (a serial killer who isn't going to stop) but an innocent life is lost in the process OR save the innocent person and the bad guy goes free again?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Spuggey — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:38:57 -0600

Xavi: 1) How often do you get your hair cut? Whenever it gets too long, which for me is more than about half an inch around the sides because then it starts to curl in all different directions and makes me look mad. Madder. 2) What was your last argument about? I don't know. Probably the fact that Jasira has hang ups. 90% of my arguments are with Jasira. She drives me crazy. She hates me for no reason. 3) Which do you choose: You kill the bad guy (a serial killer who isn't going to stop) but an innocent life is lost in the process OR save the innocent person and the bad guy goes free again? I suppose let the bad guy go. I can go after him again, I can't get an innocent life back. I can't justify sacrificing an innocent person, it's not my call to make. I have to do my best to save them when they're there. 1) Who do you argue with most? 2) Do you enjoy big adventures? 2) Are you the kind of person that plans or do you just make things up as you go?

It just depends on the situation and my mood. ~*~ 1) Who is the "craziest" one in your group? 2) If you had to do something else with your life, what would you prefer to do? 3) Are you happy?

Xavi: 1) Who is the "craziest" one in your group? That accolade has to go to Ramiro... He's off balance and not always in a good way. 2) If you had to do something else with your life, what would you prefer to do? Sit on a tropical beach with a good supply of food and my friends? Does that count? No, really, I'd rather not be doing the job I do, but I have no say in the matter. It's pretty much: work for the government or die in a military jail. Great choice, isn't it? I'd like to do work that helps people that very few others bother with. I've been homeless, so maybe working with a charity to help people in that situation. 3) Are you happy? Yes... Mostly. More than I was. I'm not one of those people who needs a great deal of things to be happy. I have a home now, and people who care about me. I'd be happier if I could contact my family and make ammends. But I'm better than I was. Mostly, I'm happy, yes. *smiles* 1) Do you have a social conscience? 2) Were you healthy as a child? 3) Would you ever cheat on a partner?

That's good sometimes, but lately it's been getting me into trouble. 2) Were you healthy as a child? Yeah, I was healthy. Didn't get much more than the common cold growing up. 3) Would you ever cheat on a partner? Oh, boy. I sound like such an asshole, but I guess I kind of already have cheated. A friend was going through something and kissed me and I didn't stop it right away... ~*~ 1) Are there any grudges you are holding? 2) Have you ever intentionally hurt yourself? 3) Do you enjoy being the center of attention?

1. Are you cynical? Nolan: Nope. I know you might think I have reason to be, but there's good and bad in this world, and that is the way of things. Ruben (after hearing definition): A little. Sierra: Not really. Briana: When it comes to men, yes. Lon: Yes. 2. Do you love to express yourself? Nolan: Yes, I do. Ruben: Yeah. Sierra: Yes. Briana: Yes. Lon: No. 3. Does love matter to you? Nolan: Yes, it does. Ruben: Yes. Sierra: Yes. Briana: Yes. Lon: No. 1. Do you like family history? 2. What kind of pets do you have or want? 3. Are you good at housework?

BRENDA 1) I would if I could know about it, but my dad keeps it under lock and key. Does he really expect me to leave it? 2) I don't have any pets, but I might like a cat. Or fish. Maybe I might even play it dangerously and have both. 3) I'm pretty neat, but I'm not particularly good at jobs requiring too much energy. For YOU 1) How would/do you seize the day, if you had to choose one way? 2) Beneath your facade, how do you REALLY feel? 3) What are people's most common misjudgement of you based on appearance?

Emilio: 1) How would/do you seize the day, if you had to choose one way? I get up every day and try to do the right thing. We're in a situation where it's not always easy... They threaten us, we're supposed to do what they want but they can only bully so far. I mean, in the end, we do what we feel we have to. 2) Beneath your facade, how do you REALLY feel? I'm okay. People think I'm not. I'm not scared as much as everyone seems to think. I'm not scared of dying, or of fighting. I'm only scared of being forced into doing something I can't live with. 3) What are people's most common misjudgement of you based on appearance? That I'm timid. I am quiet, reserved, but that's not the same thing. I'm small and...well, Saskia says I look like a startled mouse. I'm not startled, or scared. Just quiet. I'm more thoughtful than people think. Questions: 1) What was your biggest adventure? 2) What really annoys you about people? 3) Do you ever have thoughts/feelings that you're too embarrassed to share with others?

Zach: 1) Well it's kind of impossible to "seize the day" whilst being locked in this place isn't it? but i suppose i'd just take some time to walk through the grounds and sit and read under a tree...assuming i could snatch a book from the library 2) I absolutely despise the way people seem to get an impression of you after within like five minutes of meeting you, and the worst part is that they will always see you that way, no matter how untrue it is or how much you change. 3) Not really, i mean of course we all have things that we wont share, but in general I'm a pretty open person Questions: 1) Where do you go to relax or to take a break from everything? 2) Right now, what do you want more than anything? 3) What is your favorite food or meal?

CausticWords — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:53:11 -0500

Mrs. Ratzitch says; 1) Where do you go to relax or to take a break from everything? Into my living room, there is peace. I will sit down to the quiet sounds of the birds outside, I will pick up a good book, I'm currently reading a very good one by a man named Marcel Proust, a very good author, you should look him up sometime, a genius he was, and sit down (by a warm fire, if it's winter) for a nap, perhaps. I can do anything in my living room to help me get away from the world. 2) Right now, what do you want more than anything? For that old fogey Mr. Greenwood to get his just comeuppance. If he would just admit his faults, we wouldn't be in this whole mess. He split the town up! he did. That man needs to just let go, and relax. It's the bad blood he has running through him, a fisherman's blood. 3) What is your favorite food or meal? Well, now you have me. I don't really know how to answer that; I've never been much for food, but if I had to answer, I would choose a nice chicken broth. Q1) You can pick one partner for your next task. Without being told what the task is, who would be your first choice for a partner, and why? Q2) If there were ever any one thing in your life you could change, what would it be? Q3) Once changed, how would the repercussions of said thing affect your current life, if at all? Such as, how would you view yourself post-change as opposed to pre-change?

Minna: Q1) You can pick one partner for your next task. Without being told what the task is, who would be your first choice for a partner, and why? Hmmm, maybe Santeri, because he is the calmest of us after me. Annika and Janina would just run around and mess things up. I'm sorry, girls! Q2) If there were ever any one thing in your life you could change, what would it be? The way I dealed with world when I was younger. I was way too cautious with people. I'm thankful that Santeri and Janina changed me and I turned out as a pretty brave person. And now it's our turn, together, to change Annika. Q3) Once changed, how would the repercussions of said thing affect your current life, if at all? Such as, how would you view yourself post-change as opposed to pre-change? I guess I would have more childhood friends around me. I would also be a bit more open about my life and feelings to other people. It would be a nice thing. 1.What kind of people you can't stand? 2.Do you regret anything you've done? 3.What is the meaning of life to you?

DAWN 1) I can't stand people who degrade anybody else. I hate arrogant people, megalomaniacs, and people who follow those kinds blindly. 2) I regret never sticking to my guns and standing up for myself. I regret giving up on life. I regret running away, and I regret trusting anybody I've met since. 3) The meaning of life is to survive, to understand yourself and stick up for it, and to live in dignity.

1) Are you secretive? Nolan: Not at all. You want to know anything, just ask. By the four winds, I might even tell you if you don't ask. Lon: Yes. Trust does not come easily. Sierra: Not really. I've never had any secrets to keep. That and my sisters would figure things out anyway, especially Tara. She's downright nosy. Briana: Not really. Ruben: I just don't want to talk about certain things is all. 2) Do you ever feel lonely? Ruben: Yeah. Nolan: Don't worry, my lad. I'm here for you. And I do feel lonely at times. It's not easy being a scout. Briana: No. Solitude is quite comforting. Sierra: Not really. I've usually got lots of people around. Lon: It does not matter, but yes. 3) What do you think about when you can't sleep at night? Lon: Is someone coming to get me? Briana: I will become a warrior one day; I'll show everyone what I can do. Ruben: Home. Sierra: I tell myself stories in my head. Nolan: Oh, lots of things. Lately speculating about these traveling companions of mine. Especially about Lon and Ruben, since they never talk much about themselves. Actually, Lon almost never talks. At least the female portion of our company is somewhat open. 1) If you could visit any place, where would you go? 2) What do you do for a living? 3) How well do you get along with your coworkers/classmates/etc?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

Thekherham — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:55:01 -0500

Thekherham here, and I'm going to do my best to answer your questions. 1) If you could visit any place, where would you go? I don't know if Kykherhenha wants me to say this, but I would like to visit Jhanhekhar. That's the fifth planet in our solar system, and it's what the Alharhanians call a prison planet. You know, like, They will take you there, but you won't get off. Why? Just because... Tereskadian curiosity, I guess. Other than that... the Arctic regions of Alharhan, I guess... any place cold. It's summer here right now, and I'm spending too much time panting. 2) What do you do for a living? I'm a teacher at the University of Treskebhar. I teach Tereskadianology... Wow! That's a no brainer, isn't it? I'm also a field editor for a magazine devoted to Tereskadians. 3) How well do you get along with your coworkers/classmates/etc? All things considering, meaning that I'm a Tereskadian and my coworkers are Alharhanians, I'd say pretty good. But there are still those that harbor animosity toward my species, and you can see it in their eyes and their demeanor... no matter how hard they try to hide it. And when you ask them, they lie, and Tereskadians know when an Alharhanian is lying. All right, I guess you want three questions: 1) Do you have a mate/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, and how good is your relationship with that person? 2) If there were a war, and your significant other was born in 'the other country' would he/she go over to your side, would you go over to his/her side, or would you go your separate ways? 3) Are you on a restrictive diet, or can you whatever you want?

I have a boyfriend, but i have a huge crush on his brother, so I think I'm about to break up with Chris. 2) If there were a war, and your significant other was born in 'the other country' would he/she go over to your side, would you go over to his/her side, or would you go your separate ways? wow...do you like know my life story or something? He refused to come with me and almost got me killed!!! 3) Are you on a restrictive diet, or can you whatever you want? I can eat what I want, but I choose to eat things that won't hinder my work out programs.

BRENDA 1) Probably Taylor Swift. Yes, I'm lame; don't blame me that there are few decent singers (or role models) in music anymore. 2) Modern times. Though I was born in the early 90s. 3) Blue or black. Yes, I'm boring. But hey, blue is calm and black is the best colour for lining. 1) What is your worst nightmare creature? 2) What trait do you hate the most in humankind? 3) What would you fight for?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

CausticWords — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:22:51 -0500

Alabaster: 1) What is your worst nightmare creature? The only creature I ever really feared is dead... At least, I hope it is. If it isn't, then I fear the minotaur that was living in my basement, who knows how long, during my childhood. After that, nothing was really scary anymore. Maybe one that I can't catch. 2) What trait do you hate most in humankind? The fact that everyone seems to be a little whiny girl nowadays... No offense little girls, but sheesh! You say one thing and everybody is mad at you. It makes me mad. 3) What would you fight for? I would say a just cause, but that has a different definition depending on who you ask. That leaves me with one answer: I would fight to save a life. Your questions(Make sure you say why you made the choice for each one): 1) You are given the choice between door 1 and door 2. Music seems to come from door 1, but delectable smells from door 2. 2) Once through that door, you see two staircases. A man motions for you to go up, but a woman beckons for you to go down. Pick a staircase. 3) After you've picked the staircase, you come to a wide open, grassy field. There is nothing in any direction, and the person you followed is no longer there. What do you do now?

Orion 1) Depending on the kind of music, but probably door 2. 2) the girl, most likely. He's led by his libido a lot, but his brother has a manipulative hold on him to. Any other man he wouldn't care about. 3) Search for her. Rip up grass. Leave. For you: 1) How skeptical are you? 2) How far would you go to prove a point? 3) What is your worst bored habit?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

DarkPassenger — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 07:18:01 -0500

Ben: 1) How skeptical are you? I think I'm appropriately skeptical. I'm a cop, so I tend to focus mostly on facts and tangible evidence. But I'm a little more open than you'd might expect. 2) How far would you go to prove a point? Hm, that depends. If it's a life and death situation, I'd go a little further than if it's a teaching moment situation. 3) What is your worst bored habit? Snacking. I'm drawn to the refrigerator when bored. I suppose that's why I'm carrying a couple extra pounds. But I've been working on that. ~*~ 1) Who really knows how to push your buttons? 2) How's your temper? 3) Are you the attacker, the attacked or the mediator?

Xavi: 1) Who really knows how to push your buttons? Jasira. I mean, I'm pretty easy going but the girl is beyond obnoxious. I know she's got her own problems but she calls me names all the time, makes snide remarks... She refers to me as 'the ugly, littlte troll'. I'm not a troll and ugly is a matter of opinion. Anyway, she stabbed me with a spork once too. 2) How's your temper? Pretty good. I've only lost it once in the past few months and they've been utter hell. 3) Are you the attacker, the attacked or the mediator? Definitely the attacked.... 1) Would you give up holidays and buy good food, or buy cheap food and still have other luxuries? 2) Who is the most hypocritical person you know? 3) What's your worst habit?

I suppose that coincides more with the first one. 2) Who is the most hypocritical person you know? I try not to surround myself with people like that. But there is a guy in my meetings that could be considered fairly hypocritical. 3) What's your worst habit? Well, now that drinking is no longer a habit of mine, I'll say snacking too much. That's another habit I'm trying to eliminate. ~*~ 1) What is the worst injury/illness you've endured? 2) What are/were your parents like? 3) Why do you do what you do?

Randy: Getting my nose smashed in and having a house burn down around my ears -- yes, at the same time. 2) What are/were your parents like? Micah: My parents were good people, hard-working, and honest. Randy: Mama is a good cook, and Papa is rather eccentric. 3) Why do you do what you do? Micah: I want to become a great knight, and that means following the Code of the Knights. Randy: I am loyal to my family. I might have other reasons, but that's the most important one. 1) What is your favorite recreation activity? 2) Do you have any piercings? 3) Are you a morning person or a night person?

This looks like fun! Lott: What is your favorite recreation activity? Don’t tell Geoffrey, but I actually enjoy playing chess with him. It’s even more fun on those rare occasions when I win. Do you have any piercings? No, and have never had the desire to get any. Are you a morning person or a night person? I’m definitely a morning person. I have to be, or I’ll miss out on the early morning crowd who might stop by my stand and watch me perform on their way to work. Besides, I’m so worn out by the end of the day that I couldn’t be a night person even if I wanted to be. I haven’t read through all 24 pages of this, so I hope I’m not repeating anything, but here are my questions: 1) Who was your best friend growing up and why? 2) What food(s) do you avoid at all costs? 3) Do you have a love/hate relationship with anyone or anything?

Kiernan 1) Who was your best friend growing up and why? Irgrelz. He chose not to kill me in the hatching sands, and I him. We faught together to live. Now that I rule, he is my closest*coughonlycough* advisor. 2) What food(s) do you avoid at all costs? Henralk. The insect looks tasty, but it's flesh in permeated with a poison that will kill anything stone dead. 3) Do you have a love/hate relationship with anyone or anything? My biological brother. I love him as a warrior, but I hate him because he want's me dead. He's too good of a warrior to throw away in an execution, though.

Vito "Gold Fist" Valentino 1) What is the most worthless metal, in your opinion? No metal is worthless! Ha! If it can be bought, it can be sold for ten times more! 2) How long have you owned a weapon, and have you ever used it to kill someone? I have a pistol that I used on the man I stole it from. It's very nice, gold plated, polished so it practically glows, a bit old fashioned, but I keep it with me at all times. I've used it to kill many people. Sometimes I meant to, other times it was an accident. 3) Would you sell someone into whore-dom to save your own hide? Yes, and I have. Several times. It's a trade, you see, and me, being a tradesman, have sold many a species into 'whore-dom' as you so delicately put it. --------- 1) What is in your pockets right now? 2) What material thing do you treasure most in life? 3) Who do you look up to for inspiration?

Lazarek (wow, the bad guy actually gets to answer!): 1) Would you rather kill, canabalize, or rape? Cannabalism is not for me. And I'm not much into rape, although exerting power is definitely something I'm into. I'd have to go with killing, though. It's just what I do. 2) Kidnap for more fun, or kill at the scene? Kidnap, definitely. Toying with their loved ones, playing head games. And that added bonus when they think they're smarter than me. It never gets old. 3) Cupcakes or muffins? Doesn't matter. I eat only to keep up my strength. No more, no less. ~*~ 1) What makes your skin crawl? 2) Have you killed someone? 3) What's something quirky or non-obvious that you find cute about guys/girls (whatever your preference)?

1) What makes your skin crawl? Nolan: Having someone point a sword at you with a blank, stony stare, as if he could cut your throat without even caring. Lon *stony stare*: Your point? Nolan: Freakiest thing I've ever seen, really, Lon. Sierra: Please, stop bickering, and let's get back to the question. Some of the threats I've received have made my skin crawl -- particularly from pirates and assassins. Briana: Men who look at me as an object for their "affections." Thankfully, I only had to deck one creep to get the rest to back off. 2) Have you killed someone? Lon: Yes, more than once. Briana: Yes, but it was in self-defense or defense of others. That man would have killed Nolan if I hadn't killed him. Sierra: No. I'm no warrior. Nolan: I don't like killing. There are other options: restraining, disarming, capturing and turning them over to magistrates, intimidating, fleeing, or avoiding the conflict as much as possible. I know it may be hard to believe, considering the number of assassins, goblins, pirates, and soldiers we've fought, but I've never actually killed any of them. 3) What's something quirky and non-obvious that you find cute about guys/girls? Nolan: A cute little laugh can completely win me over, even if it does have an endearing little quirk, like a little squeak at the end. A squishy little nose, especially one as cute as a button and it just goes squishy-squishy when you push it. A way the girl holds her head, the position of the chin, just angled slightly to the side, with the eyes gazing up at me through these long eyelashes . . . um, where did everyone else go? * * * 1. Do you talk a lot or say little? 2. Do you memorize things easily? 3. Do you have any phobias?

1. It really depends. If I feel comfortable around you, then I might talk a lot (though I don't mean to), but if you scare me then I'll be quiet. 2. I memorize machines easily. People say I'm not too bright, and they may be right, but I understand machines. 3. I'm scared of freezing to death. I almost did once, when I was little, and I don't want it to happen again. 1.

What's your favorite season? Spring, summer, fall or winter? Winter makes it a little harder to travel and do the things we need to do. Summer can be a little sweltering some places as well. Spring and fall are more conducive to what we do. 3. What is the worst wound you've ever received? A gunshot wound to the abdomen. ~*~ 1) Do you have children? If so, tell me about them.

To be honest I'm not sure I want any kids and it wouldn't be easy anyway, with my 'house guest' around all the time. 2) Are you a good liar? I'm such a bad liar that even when I tell the truth people think I'm lying. 3) How are you most likely to die? Probably at the hands of my lovely... Whatever he is. He showed up in my life and now refuses to leave. Yes, you. YOU, ZERO. Go away. ....

1) Not particularly, though I can if I have to. 2) Generally I go into some corner and sulk. Otherwise, I'll throw something in your general direction (trying to miss, of course). 3) I'm pretty sure everyone does, at least white lies to get out of a spanking. I never could lie to John though, at least not convincingly. 1) What is the nastiest-tasting food you've ever had to eat? 2) Where do you live, landscape-wise? 3) Who is the freakiest-looking person you have ever seen?

Nolan Monson, at your service. 1) What is the nastiest food you've ever had to eat? This fish the dwarves served at their Midsummer banquet. That was disgusting. It tasted like fried mud seasoned with pond scum and sulfur. 2) Where do you love, landscape-wise? I move around a lot, between the mountain and the coast. 3) Who is the freakiest-looking person you have ever seen? Lon, when he a completely blank expression and his sword pointed directly at my throat. All right, I'll knock next time i enter the room. He's also got about twenty battle scars. And he was dressed in ragged, bloodstained clothes and needed to get his hair cut and hadn't bathed in about a month. 1. What do/did you look for in a significant other? 2.

Sira: 1. What do/did you look for in a significant other? I doubt I'll ever find one, as strange as I am, but my ideal guy would have to be quiet, kind, tolerant, and very patient. I would prefer someone who isn't particularly clingy, because I need plenty of alone, head-under-my-pillow time, but he'd also have to be a good listener and there when I do feel like having someone around. I wouldn't mind if he's smart or not, as long as he can keep a job. I'm sure it's impossible for me to find someone with that list! I have a hard enough time being around my family because of the voices, so having someone else around would probably make things even worse, but I do wish I could get married and have a normal life some day. 2. What is your favorite time of day? I like getting up early to watch the sunrise. It's so peaceful. 3. What do you do when you find a suspicious person is following you? That's a hard one to answer, and I really don't know how I would react. I would probably ignore them at first, but if it became clear that they were after me, I'd try to run home and hope I could lose them along the way. 1. What are the best and worst things about your physical appearance? 2. How did/do you do in school academically? 3. When you really need to vent to someone, who do you turn to?

Gil: 1. What are the best and worst things about your physical appearance? The best things about my physical appearance would be... my blue eyes and my hair. I'm quite taken with my hair, though people often wonder how I get it to stay that way. The worst things are my shortness (the shortest woman on the ship is a head taller than I am!) and my hands and feet. They're big and gangly and make me trip over myself and become clumsy. 2. How did/do you do in school academically? I never went to school. I was taught by John the light-house keeper, and he said I was a terrible student in all things that aren't mechanical. 3. When you really need to vent to someone, who do you turn to? That would be Hector, my mechanical bug. He's a great listener, and will give out these little chirps and whistles so it doesn't feel like I'm talking to an inanimate object. 1) If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? 2) Which do you prefer, nature or a man-made environment? 3) What is your Beserk Button?

Daphne: 1) If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Right now? I'm fine where I am. I'm not saying I'd turn down a week in Venice or a Caribbean cruise or something, but there's nowhere I particularly want to go. 2) Which do you prefer, nature or a man-made environment? I'm not, you know, anti-nature or anything, but I definitely prefer man-made environments. Beautiful architecture, technology, museums, libraries and resorts will all be more my "thing" than going on some safari or nature hike. 3) What is your Beserk Button? What would turn you into an unstoppable killer if it happened? I don't really know. I mean, I know that I would go off the handle if something happened to my father, but I don't know what level of terrible it would have to be for me to even think about murder, much less become some kind of unstoppable killer. It would take a lot. I'm not really that sort of person. __________________ 1. How would you describe your personal style? 2. What's your best physical attribute? 3.

Raleigh: 1. Who was your role model growing up? My predecessor, Baye. He's still my role model, honestly. When things get tough and I feel like I'm losing control or about to do something dumb, I usually have to stop and think to myself "What would Baye do?" Surprisingly, that works. 2. If you could have one wish granted, anything in the universe, what would it be? That we weren't out of teriyaki sauce right now. Seriously, who put the empty bottle back in the cabinet? That's just weird. There's a recycling bin two feet away, morons! No, no... one wish, it would probably be something boring and practical like world peace. Then again, now that I think about it, world peace is actually kind of creepy since it takes away people's free will. Maybe I'll stick with teriyaki sauce. 3. Do you have a pet/companion/familiar? Yes. Their names are Evans, Abner and Leo and they look like they want to kill me right now. Okay, okay, pets/companions/familiars is probably not the best word choice. We're all partners and elemental spirits that work for Lady Daphne (whether she likes it or not). I guess you could say that we're her familiars or companions?

Lon: They intervened when the assassins were trying to kill me. Briana: We grew up together. Sierra: It was a stormy night when they came to the inn . . . 2. What do you look for in a significant other? Lon: Someone who looks at who I am, rather than what I am. Nolan: Compassion, gentleness, a good sense of humor too. Briana: Someone who respects me and will support me in my endeavors -- even if they are unorthodox. Sierra: Tall, handsome, talented -- someone like a hero out of a legend. 3. What is your family like? Lon: I have a brother. Nolan: Two parents, one brother, one grandfather, two grandmothers, nine aunts, ten uncles, and thirty-seven first-cousins. Ruben: I've got two sisters, one older and one younger, and two little brothers, and there's my parents and my grandparents. Sierra: I'm the oldest of five -- I have one brother and three sisters.

(It's a long story; maybe you should read my autobiography) 2) What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Ice cream? What's ice cream? I'm a carnivore. I eat raw meat. 3) Where are you right now? Right now, I'm in the city of Treskebhar, on the shores of Te'hanys Bay, panting, because it's so frickin' hot, and I can't take off my fur. 1. Are you married, or do you have a mate? 2.

1. Who is your best friend? My only friend is Sarrah. She's too talkative and sweet to tell her that I don't really want to hear about her all the time, but I am tolerant so I am fine with her. I have become friends with no one else since my mother died, my father deserted me, and my friend and mentor went away then came back dead. 2. How's the weather been where you live? any thoughts? The weather is generally clear and fine here, with a crisp morning. I like it this way. 3. How would you deal with the death of a close friend or family member? I have no more close friends besides Sarrah, and all my family is either already dead or gone from my life. I wouldn't mind my father dying, the worthless scum that he is for leaving a seven year old to fend for herself. If Sarrah died, I'd be distraught I believe, and withdraw myself further from the social world. This is my way of not getting hurt. I've had too much hurt in my life already. ------ 1.

Are you the sort that children trust? Yes, children do tend to like me. Which is good, considering I would like to have kids someday. 3. What does your voice sound like? Not really deep or high.

1. ...Not sure I actually trust anyone. It would probably depend on the context, really, not that I have a lover yet. 2. Yes. A lot. 3. I would hate fame. More people would know about me, more people would want to kill me for whatever I did to get famous, it would be harder to get things done myself, I'd get spoiled.

Scheherazade Kite 1. Math. Ugh. How am I going to finish high school if I have to pass a math class? 2. I was the only injury when I and three others tried to kill a roc. When I woke up the next day, I had Desi trying to strap me to my bed so she could take care of me. 3. If you are talking about blood relatives, then you are asking the wrong question. My mother died when I was a little girl, and I never knew my father. So, my closest relations would be the people of the tribe. Doc is as close as a father as I get, and Desi is my foster sister, although there were a few years that we didn't get along. 1)What do you see as your strengths? 2)What is your favorite hobby? 3)Where is your favorite place to be in the world?

Dekker: 1. What DON"T I see as my strengths? I'm strong, fast, honorable, good-looking, deadly, egotistical while still having friends. What's not to love? 2. I'd say... it depends on the environment. If I'm in the wild, I like to hunt, and if I'm in town then I like to initiate bar-fights. 3. Um... let's see... the Durgon Forest. Bloody dangerous place, but that's why I love it. 1) On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a glass-jawed whimp and 10 being nigh-invincible, how would you rate yourself in a fight? 2) Do you have any scars? 3) Have you ever lost anyone you cared deeply about?

Dodge: 1) On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a glass-jawed whimp and 10 being nigh-invincible, how would you rate yourself in a fight? My ex-girlfriend's friend kicked my ass for no apparent reason. Granted, he has about 30 pounds on me and quite clearly works out. I didn't exactly roll over and take it, but I am lanky and have never been a fighter. So I guess I'd rank myself about a...five. 2) Do you have any scars? Just a few nicks here and there. My scars are more emotional. 3) Have you ever lost anyone you cared deeply about? My brother when I was a teenager. That's the source of most of my scarring. ~*~ 1) How creative are you? 2) Are you a lover or a fighter? 3) What animal are you most like?

If I went out in fae-public... That's no too. But it's okay, because I'm callowfae! And everyone knows fae like being different. 3) How old are you? Four and a quarter. Years, not centuries.

I would say... being chased into an insanely dangerous forest, having my only leg torn open by a poisonous, thorny vine, and having Marty give me bruised ribs because he's hugging me too hard while crying on my shoulder. 2. Potter, actually. I'm a very good potter. 3. By riverboat.

This means that he is one of the top warriors in the group. *Hood grins* It also means that I get to find the strongest to fight! 3) Nope. But I like being scared of individuals.

Which, I might say, we are doing very good with. *Angryman pokes his head into the room* A: Could you two please answer the questions? I'd like to get back to the story ASAP. Thank you. *Desiree sticks her tongue at Angryman. Shé flips him off* S: Fine. I'd say the biggest fight we had was about how I could never see her after we joined the tribe. D: I think not. I think it was that argument we had when I came to check on Mark's legs while you were teaching him about his powers. You were a quite a b****, by the way. S: Sorry. *Desiree hugs Shé) 2) S: I like just getting something from the local cafe. Usually a slice of pizza, an iced coffee, and some baklava for desert. *Desiree giggles* D: It's a miracle that you manage to keep your slim figure. S: I work out a lot, thank you very much. D: And go swimming in the nude a lot as well. S: Desi! D: Anyhow, the harem has it's own kitchen. I like to fix myself something light, like a salad. Some of the injuries I've helped heal tends to put me off of meat. 3) *Desiree glares at Shé* D: Yesterday. I had to take care of poor Mark's arm since you had to be so rough with him while you two were training. S: Yeah, and I'm certain the last time you hurt someone, it was me. You don't sissy-slap, you power-slap. I'm surprised that I don't have a permanent red mark on my face the shape of your hand. D: Well, I have to able to hold down some of those ifrit while Doc gives them a vaccination. S: ...Hassan?

I can be calm and reserved, but I can also be outgoing and energetic. 2) Do you like the people you work/attend school with? Yes. They are working to sell my art, so getting along with them is a good thing. 3) What was your worst childhood illness? I was a fairly healthy child. I think I had bronchitis once, and I'm pretty sure I had a bout of pneumonia pretty young that gave my parents a scare, but other than that, nothing too serious. ~*~ 1) What do you normally dream about when you sleep? 2) What are you worried about right now? 3) Have you ever been betrayed by someone close to you?

I tend to dream about things like the time I thumb-wrestled someone who was half-oni, but then he becomes the size of a mountain and tries to squish me with his thumb. 2) It's hit the fan: the tribe has been found twice by the Crusaders. If they send the full army after us, we are seriously screwed. 3) I feel like I was used by my ex-girlfriend.

The problem is, most people are afraid of me. That's why I'm glad to have friends like Desi, Mark, Pauj and Hassan. They know me well enough to not be afraid. Well, Desi and Mark do. I think Pauj and Hassan are just too afraid to not socialize with me. 3) Religion brands our kind as monsters.

I'm sorry, I need to leave. *Shé gets up and leaves, needing to see her friends* 2) *Several hours later, Shé returns. Her eyes are a little red from crying, but she is composed* Sorry about that. Anyhow, what was your next question? Am I a good fighter? *smirks* I can say this much, at least: I'm the strongest warrior in the tribe. The only one who could beat me in a one-on-one fight would be our sultan, Bashir, and that's probably only because he is of the royal ifrit family. 3) My guilty pleasures would be my swimming pool and baklava. 1) Who is your best friend? 2) Who is your idol? 3) Who is the biggest thorn in your side?

Sasha 1) Have you ever gotten into a brawl? As a preistess of the goddess of life, I find that question offensive. Yes I have. 2) Have you ever hunted for your food? Always. My society is based around providing for yourself, when able. And since the only time I tried farming I almost demolished a house, I prefer to hunt. 3) Do you prefer nature, or man-made society? Nature. It's so much simpler. Less war-like. Questions: Would you rather serve a god of death or of life? Have you ever been forced to swing through the trees and land on the back of a Culach while trying to outrun a pack of angry dracklins? What is your favorite food?

Pips: 1) Regrettably, I already serve Xada, goddess of chance and gambling. However, maybe the god of death would be merciful enough to kill me. *Xada appears* I don't think so, Pips. *Xada disappears* 2) No. I have, however, tried to survive my deity, my wizard-in-training of a half-brother, a dumb-as-a-rock country bumpkin, a foreign-exchange student that's also a ninja, and a gnomish author that won't stop making sarcastic comments for five minutes. And that's what I have to deal with BEFORE we start the adventure. 3) Whatever puts me out of my misery fastest. 1) Have you ever burned down a building? 2) Do you like gardening? 3) Have you ever been forced to jump a long ways into a river or other body of water?

Re: Take 3, Leave 3 – Character Building Questions

1) Have you ever burned down a building? Nolan: No, I try not to do that. Ruben: No. I could, but I wouldn't. Sierra: No, but I've been inside a building someone else tried to burn down. Lon: Possibly.* Briana: Building? Ha! I burned down the entire forest between the Hardwood and Silverscale Rivers. *Okay, the author is still debating about whether or not Lon will set fire to a building; I haven't worked out all the details of that scene. 2) Do you like gardening? Nolan: Don't really have much of a chance to garden. Ruben: Yes, I find it relaxing. Sierra: Not particularly, but I have to anyway. Lon: No. I have more important things to do. Briana: No, it's boring. 3) Have you ever been forced to jump a long ways into a river or other body of water? Nolan: Forced? I chose to do that on my own. Actually, my cousin dared me. I was about twelve at the time. Sierra: No. It was more like I was dropped into that body of water. Repeatedly. That was awful. I hope it never happens again. Ruben: No. Briana: No. Lon: Yes. 1. Have you had any near-death experiences? 2. How do you deal with disagreeable people? 3. What is your opinion on the study of geology?

It's just a question. *Pulls head back before it could be hit by a fireball* 2. How do you deal with disagreeable people? Breaking bones tend to work. But when I can't do that, I mostly intimidate them. ...I'm starting to see why everyone is afraid of me. 3. What is your opinion on the study of geology? It's a great thing if I'm not doing the studying. 1) What was the worst thing to ever happen to you? 2) How did you deal with the worst thing? 3) Have you ever helped anyone out of their worst thing?

1) What was the worst thing to ever happen to you? Nolan: Oh, getting arrested, condemned to death, and tortured in a horrible prison cell. Not fun. Ruben: Getting kidnapped and exploited by pirates. Sierra: Kidnapped by assassins . . . twice. (Same assassin, actually.) Briana: The battle with the goblins when they kept coming and coming . . . Lon: Being exiled. 2) How did you deal with the worst thing? Nolan: I panicked, I screamed, but in the end, I forgave my captor. Ruben: I didn't know what to do except go along with it. She'd torture my friend if I didn't. Sierra: I could only pray. Briana: I just kept fighting and fighting and fighting. Lon: Eventually, I had to go back to confront my adversaries. That led to the other worst thing that's ever happened to me -- betrayal. 3) Have you ever helped anyone out of their worst thing? All: Yes. Nolan: How do you think we all got into this mess? Why do you think we all got into this mess? 1. What is your favorite story? 2. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? 3.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? It's not so much a place as it is an event. I would love to go to a Malik Embers concert. 3. If you could go back and do one thing differently, what would it be? Not get hit by that roc's talon, that's for sure. I don't know. I'd say I'd would have done things differently with Mark, but I don't know if I could... 1) What is your favorite song? 2) Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry? 3) What is your favorite way to kill time?

Shé sighs* Fine. Yes, I have fallen in love before. However, you didn't ask who, so I'm not telling. 3) Have you ever said something that you knew you would regret, as soon as it came out of your mouth? *growls, then sighs again* Yes. I- I told Desi something that I really shouldn't have. But we didn't get along at the time- I guess it doesn't matter. I said it, and that was that. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever apologized for it either.

I don't have any pets, but if I did, I'd hunt down the bastard and slaughter him myself. 3. What's something that makes you happy? My swimming pool.

1. Would I try? I already did! Didn't go all that well, some oppressive gentleman from the mainland followed me to the ritual site, threatened me (me of all people!) with a crossbow. I'd give him credit if he were not so foolish, turns out he thought I was someone else, someone I had already killed days before, and he had followed me all that way. Rather stupid, really. 2. My own choice of concubines, people less intelligent than me (which is most all of them) and the hallucinogenic delights at hand. 3. Well, there was that time I was harrassed by a cult of drug-crazed cannibals, and then there was the week I spent in the dungeons of a dead city, and also braving a haunted, storm-plagued desert where my darkest nightmares were birthed from the ether to tear at the fabric of my sanity. All of these situations are thanks to one man, by the way. 1. Who is your daddy, and what does he do? 2. How do you like to spend an evening? 3. What is the most important thing in the world to you?

Then I'd probably go to Ciro for help in trying to figure out why... and what we should do about it. 3) Why would someone want you arrested? Being a freak? The jailbreaks? Illegal use of firearms? Causing death? Shooting someone? Breaking and entering? Breaking and entering into military properties? Illegally obtaining information held under a government secrets act?... *thinks* You know, I'm actually a nice guy who just wants to stay out of trouble but that list makes me seem like a career criminal... 1) Do people often misjudge you? 2) Are you brave? 3) Would you kill yourself if the fate of millions depended on it?

Have you ever been blinded by a strong emotion like greed or hate? Yeah. I've gotten into so many fights as a kid, anger just comes naturally to me. When I get angry, I need to fight and I need to win.

Herne: 1. When my father first allowed me to hold his sword. It was longer than I was, and I couldn't hold it for more than a few minutes, but it was a special moment for me. 2. Yes. Don't tell anyone, but I am deathly afraid of Doris the butcher's daughter. That girl is an aggresive wooer, and is determined to have me. It doesn't help that she has worse looks than Terrwyn. Of course, Terrwyn befriended her just to spite me. 3. The forest. I've found that skinny-dipping in a hidden spring is very relaxing. 1) Have you ever had reason to be afraid of a normally harmless object? 2) Have you ever been trapped? 3) Are you attractive to those of the opposite gender?

Xavi: 1) Have you ever had reason to be afraid of a normally harmless object? Me? *laughs* No! Never! Um.. Yeah. Regularly. I live in fear... The other night, my boiler was making strange sounds and I was convinced I'd die of carbon monoxide poisoning before I woke up... And cheese graters. It's just when the piece of cheese gets too small and your knuckes are far too close to the grater... GAH! 2) Have you ever been trapped? Yes. I've been imprisoned before. I hadn't actually done anything, it was more for what I am than what I did. 3) Are you attractive to those of the opposite gender? Ummm Yeah. Of course. *laughs* Well, maybe, I mean... I'm not hideous. Well, Jasira says I am, but she's a witch. Saskia says I'm 'cute', which is better than being ugly isn't it? If you can't be gorgeous, cute is a good second... 1) What's your favourite smell? 2) How are your culinary skills? 3) Can you put together flat-packed furniture?!

Iain can have this one. 1) My favourite smell? I'm not sure. I suppose my mam's baking. (lopsided grin) I miss her baking. 2) I'd much prefer to be eating the food than preparing it, but I can cobble together something decent. 3) (snorts) I'd certainly hope so, seeing as I'm a carpenter. I'm likelier to make my own damned furniture.

Lon: Functional. Briana: Functional. Have you seen some of those stupid fashions, all those pleats and trains? Nolan: A bit of both. I mean, I like to look good, but let's make sure it's comfortable too. Ruben: I don't care. Sierra: Fashionable. I like to be pretty. 1. Do you study your family's history? 2.

It's something to warm you, light up the dark and scare away wild animals, but it can also burn down a house or scorch your skin.

There are too many people who are actually sick for me to go taking medicine that could be used for them! 1) Do you have any kinds of special skills? 2) Who is your best friend? 3) How did you first meet your best friend?

Well, they do say that we snipers reach out and touch someone. The job aside, I don't mind people. I'll interact. 3) Do you like getting wet? For the most part, no. But there are times and places, and for me, they usually don't go well with water. 1) Do you have any scars or birthmarks? 2) What is something common in your typical day? 3) Can you survive out in the wild without supplies if you had to?

The preservatives they use in those things... yuck! Give me a homemade pie any day. 2) Have you ever out-and-out sobbed? Yes. I have had moments when I just had to cry, no matter who I was around. Fortunately, it's always around people who care about me. 3) How would you define "art"? The way one expresses themselves, usually through music, poetry, or a drawing or painting. 1) Do you see yourself as a romantic? 2) Are you dating/married to anyone? 3) What is your love life like?

My girlfriend just broke up with me, so no, not anymore. 3) What is your love life like? It was going well, I thought. Not so much anymore. She broke up with me out of nowhere -- at least, from my perspective -- and now she basically wants nothing to do with me. I'm rather confused about the whole thing. ~*~ 1) How's your temper? 2) Are you more lazy or active? 3) How much education do you have?

Nolan. 1) Have you ever had major surgery? Does getting the sword wound in my shoulder closed count? I'm not sure, though, if you'd count the healer's art as "surgery." 2) Have you ever encountered someone who doesn't seem to have a hobby? Is Lon's hobby staring off watching for assassins, or is he just a little paranoid? I know darn well he's got enemies who want him dead, but he does seem to get carried away with this at times. Can't he trust me to guard his back? And he doesn't do much else. Except glare at me, which he's doing right now. 3) Ever met someone with a destructive personality? *looks at companions* Lon will kill anything that gets in his way. Briana has a fiery temper. And Ruben might accidentally blow something up. Come on, lad, you really need to practice your magic. You're getting better. And these are my traveling companions. Well, and Sierra, but there's nothing the least bit destructive about her, except she's a little headstrong. 1. Are you in a serious romantic relationship? 2.

I'll do karaoke after work. 3) If you had to play a part in order to infiltrate a building, would you be able to pull it off? I'm with SWAT. If I have to be able to play my part in infiltration, whether I'm part of the infiltration team or in the building across the street taking out targets inside the other building. 1) Have you ever infiltrated a building? 2) Have you ever hidden from someone? 3) How do you prefer to relax after a rough day?

Having Johnny (read: mind reading alien) figure out I'm on my period and announce to the group that that's why I've been moody. 2) Can you keep a secret? Considering I've gone 15 years without my parents finding out that I'm a mutant, I'm gonna have to say yes. 3) Are you a good cook? According to Johnny and Deniz, no, but I cook to nourish, not to please. If I'm cooking, it means we're not anywhere where we can get pizza or take out, so our goal is staying alive, and if it tastes bad but keeps us full, I'm okay with that.

1. The moment when I realized the horse I had been cooing over and bathing was actually my brother. 2. Sure. I've got plenty of my own, what's a few more? 3. Depends on who you ask. I think I'm pretty good, but the vote isn't unanimous when it comes to the rest of the village. 1) If you had to dress up and bluff your way into an enemy building, would you be able to do it? 2) Have you ever been purposefully humiliated by someone? 3) Is there anyone you would let humiliate you?

((Darn! Ninja'd!)) Terrwyn: 1. Gwydion. He's super-smart, and he's not my brother. 2. That I was stripped of my worth to the village, so I was forced to depend on the kindness of others to survive, while having to listen my entire life to people telling me I was ugly AND worthless. 3. The day I got Sunflower, my beloved mare. 1) If you had to dress up and bluff your way into an enemy building, would you be able to do it? 2) Have you ever been purposefully humiliated by someone? 3) Is there anyone you would let humiliate you?

Sticky Fingers: 1) If you had to dress up and bluff your way into an enemy building, would you be able to do it? Yep. I've done it before, and I'll probably do it again. 2) Have you ever been purposefully humiliated by someone? Yeah, I think Portal loves doing that to me. 3) Is there anyone you would let humiliate you? Well, I never said I didn't like it when Portal humiliates me. 1) Have you ever been shot? 2) What is the most embarrassing injury you've received? 3) What is the worst injury you've received?

Maggy: 1) If you had to dress up and bluff your way into an enemy building, would you be able to do it? Oh yeah. Costume disguises are nothing. Hell, I once paid off a witch to change my shape so I'd fit in. Then I was stuck as a cat for a while. 2) Have you ever been purposefully humiliated by someone? *growl* Loads of things in the underground think they're the best practical jokers. And they all want to prove it. You learn not to trust quickly. 3) Is there anyone you would let humiliate you? Nope. 1) How do you react to stressful situations? 2) Are you good with children? 3) Is there someone you can see yourself marrying in the near future?

Gwydion: 1. I try to find a quiet spot where I can think things through. Barring that, I would start snapping at people. 2. No. Not really, no. Frankly, I'm scared of kids, at least little ones. I'm awkward enough with adults, I have no idea what to do with kids. 3. Well... *Looks at Terrwyn* Maybe... 1) were you considered a good kid or a bad one during your childhood? 2) How far away from you do your parents live? 3) Are you "normal" looking?

(Sorry! I posted too late) Maggy: 1) Have you ever been shot? Fortunately, that's never happened to me. Sling stones and hexes, on the other hand... 2) What is the most embarrassing injury you've received? Probably that time I hallucinated and fell out of a tree, spraining my wrist. Never accept drinks from brownies. EVER. 3) What is the worst injury you've received? A sword to the chest. It killed me in the underworld, which only wakes me up here but goddamn, does it hurt. 1) How do you react to stressful situations? 2) Are you good with children? 3) Is there someone you can see yourself marrying in the near future?

Scheherazade (Shé) Kite 1) How do you react to stressful situations? If I can punch someone to take care of the situation, I do it. If not, I burn things. 2) Are you good with children? I do okay with some of the younger members of the tribe, I suppose. I'm not really a kid-person, though. 3) Is there someone you can see yourself marrying in the near future? *blushes* That's none of your concern! *Angryman sticks his head in, grinning* That's a yes. *Angryman pulls head back just in time to only lose his eyebrows* 1) Do you have a secret crush? 2) Do you have any siblings? 3) Who is your closest friend?

Maggy: 1) Do you have a secret crush? Uh...I don't know, I'm kind of post-horrible break up right now. 2) Do you have any siblings? Nope, only child. 3) Who is your closest friend? Tanith. She's the one of few people I can tell about the things I go through every night, and the only that would understand it. 1) If you had to defend yourself, what would you use? 2) What was your proudest moment? 3) What is your greatest weakness?

EmmyOtter — Wed, 23 May 2012 20:59:07 -0500

(Ack, I'm sorry again, I didn't see your post. Wish the forums had an edit button) Tanith: 1) were you considered a good kid or a bad one during your childhood? I was "troublesome." My mother was disappointed that I didn't act the part she wanted me to play. 2) How far away from you do your parents live? *laughs* Let's just say...very long distance. 3) Are you "normal" looking? Even with a glamour, not really. Though I leave my hair white on purpose; it's more fun to dye it that way.

Herne: 1. Sword would be my first choice, my fists would be my second, arrows my third and whatever is handy my last. 2. When I first defeated an apponent in the Warrior Circle. 3. My pride. It often gets the better of me, and my father is always telling me that it will be my downfall one day. 1) What would be the ideal party for you? 2) If you could have servants, would you want them? 3) What would your reaction be to being gender-bent?

Miranda: 1) If you had to defend yourself, what would you use? Either fight back with my powers, or use Johnny as a meat-shield. 2) What was your proudest moment? When I lasted 2 whole dates with the same guy without being embarrassed by the guys or accidentally giving him third degree burns. Of course, he then cheated on me, but it was nice while it lasted. 3) What is your greatest weakness? This whole fire thing. I know it's my primary weapon against monsters and what not, but if I didn't have it, I wouldn't be fighting monsters in the first place. --- 1) Describe your perfect lover. 2) In a perfect world, what are you doing? 3) What is your biggest secret, and why are you hiding it?

Jinx: 1) Describe your perfect lover. My perfect lover would always be passionate about me. 2) In a perfect world, what are you doing? I wouldn't be fighting Mohten Sugra, that's for sure. 3) What is your biggest secret, and why are you hiding it? My real name. I don't want to be associated with my past in any way, shape or form. 1) What is your favorite trick? 2) What is your favorite skill? 3) What is your favorite surprise?
