Tovarishch Angry Rascal from Tijuana Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: I get a feeling so complicated...
Angry Rascal
#126: Jul 2nd 2009 at 3:22:42 PM

Answering back as Jänus I:

  • Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?
    • There was that first day where I was with my buddies and up to our own devices, with the Holy Arminaese Inquisition hunting me in the Bhienkan countryside. Joey's dire marksmanship, plus our own unpreparedness almost got us killed. We managed to survive a week by plundering ammo and rations from the Inquisitors we killed, and came back to San Erkadio a week later to resupply and prepare an uprising.

  • Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.
    • I'm on a middle point here. Any one of those can be attributed to science or electromagnetism. But still, be my guest

  • What is your alignment? Why?
    • Chaotic good, most definitively. During my time on the Second Civil War, I got constantly reprimanded by superior officers, due to the fact I took no regards on their "tactics", the same tactics that made them lose the First Civil War.

Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation? Lance: Typically. I have a sadistic writer who thinks it would be rather cool to live as an engineer aboard a steampunk pirate airship constantly running into trouble.

Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff. Lance: As Above, the bastard also likes Magitek.

What is your alignment? Why? Lance: Probably either Chaotic or Nuetral good. I'm not a hero, I'm out to make a living, same as you, but I have a real soft spot for doing the right thing. My wallet can attest to that *groans*

There's two of them so I'll answer as both I suppose. First up is Sarah who enjoys video game, life making sense and soap operas. She'd call herself snarky but she's probably just mean.

  • Have you ever thought you were in a 'neck in deep trouble' situation?
Sarah: Not really until just now. Felt pretty bad about what happened to Paul's back, thought she was dying. Oh god, she really jumped off my house...
  • Do you believe in all the occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildeweed tomes with odd illustrations, that kind of stuff. Sarah: See look until now I'd have called you a nut. That's more Paul's bag. Now there's people bursting into flames and a fishgirl next door and no one seems to find it weird but me.
  • What is you allignment? Why? Sarah: What? Ok now that I looked this D&D thing up I'm seem to like this lawful neutral thing. They like order and rules and avoid sides, yeah? Sounds good for me.

Ok moving onto Paulina. She is a comic book fan who is rather energetic at times. She makes rather troper like observations of the things she reads and watches now and then.

  • Have you ever thought you were in a 'neck in deep trouble' situation?Paulina: Well my back hurt real bad and I thought I was dying. Turns out I was growing wings instead! They're really small though.
  • Do you believe in all the occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildeweed tomes with odd illustrations, that kind of stuff. Paulina: No not really...Sarah thinks I do though. Not sure 'bout now though since people have super powers now.
  • What is you allignment? Why? Paulina: Like that game? Sides don't fit well with me so neutral sounds good. I'm not crazy 'bout rules so no lawful, maybe chaotic? Sarah says I get off topic all the time so that might work.

My characters are a group of Emotion Eaters.

Where did your name come from?

The leader: I never had a name. We don't really go for names.

Rose: I have no idea. My Mom thought it sounded good, I guess. Who cares?

Dream boy: Who needs words when you can see?

Touch girl: Dream boy is called that because he eats dreams. Although once I claimed he was the boy of my dreams.

New boy: We don't go for names? Yeah, come to think of it, I haven't paid attention to people's names since I changed.

How comfortable are you with the way you look?

Leader: Well, most people are scared of my eyes, because my irises are white. They've all heard the stories about the boy general who ate people's brains and ravaged the land. But ever since I got this illusion necklace, that hasn't been a problem.

Rose: That's why we wear sunglasses.

Dream boy: Cats dressed up as mice.

Touch girl: I'm reasonably attractive. When I lean over while wearing a shirt like this, guys react with arousal. And they usually let me touch them, which means I can feed on them.

New boy: I'm kind of scrawny, I guess. Most guys think they could take me in a fight, but I can read their minds and drain their emotions until they collapse.

Rose: Don't be too cocky. You're not invincible, remember that, or else you'll find yourself tied up in a magic-dampening circle.

What is your favorite food?

Leader: What kind? Physical or mental?

Rose: I like meat. I couldn't afford to eat meat until the leader took me in. It makes me feel rich, to eat it.

Dream boy: The sensation of falling.

Touch girl: What? I have no idea what you're talking about. What does that have to do with food?

Dream boy: Are you made of mud?

New boy: Stop arguing! I like fear, it's nice and tangy. Or anger, most anger is just fear anyway.

If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.

Answered as Garid and Sonata, two protagonists from a game. I like this idea, and will probably do more. (Sonata is a genre-savvy girl who believes she's trapped in a video game, and Garid is her good friend. The twist? She isn't, and he knows. It's confusing. 1. How was your life at home?

"It wasn't so great. I was basically treated as a dog, and my father wasn't especially kind to me."

"I can't remember anything about where I came from, though I'm sure there's a reason for that."

2. What's your main drive in life?

"I just want to avoid any trouble and keep myself and all my friends safe. Hard to do when ONE OF THEM seems to walk right into every trap or problem there."

"And I do all of it on purpose. Eventually, go through enough plot points and I'm sure I'll find a way to get home."

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

"Huh. I'd have to say good."

"You've seen nothing, Sonata. It's evil for sure."

4. How do you fight?

'"With a short sword and using the environment around me. I can walk through walls, if the conditions are right."

"With a sword on a stick and tons of Spam Attack. Oh, and I can occasionally grow huge flaming wings of doom and fly."

"It's called a Naginata. And I'm pretty sure you're making that last part up."

5. Why do you fight?

"To protect my friends."

"To get home!"

"Which includes my mission, as well."

6. What do you fight?

"Jale Carmack. Er, never mind that."

"Who? I thought we fought whatever the hell gets in my way."

7. What is your worst fear?

"...Dogs. I hate them and love them at the same time."

"Probably Uncanny Valley. Especially those dolls."

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

"A small hairpin. It's connected to my past, I know it."

"Nothing except my sword."

9. Who is your closest friend?

"Garid."

"Myself."

"Hey!"

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

Both shrug and ignore the question.

11. What is your favourite pastime?

"Searching for a place to settle down in. Preferably a fortress. Then my work would be done."

"Invoking every single possible plot point I can find."

12. What do you most fear?

"DIDN'T WE ALREADY SEE THIS ONE?"

"Well, I remembered another one. Fire."

"..."

13. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

"evil grin, because it would creep people out."

"Just a blank expression, I guess."

14. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

"Someone who isn't a dumb jock."

"..."

15. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

"Yeah. There was one time when I accidentally woke up a minor spirit of fire. They did not appreciate it. Neither did I." *shivers*

*waits for Sonata to be out of hearing.*

"I was involved in the end of a world. Don't ask."

16. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

"See the above."

"I deal with it every day."

17. What is your alignment? Why?

"I think of myself as Lawful Good, but Sonata is definetly Chaotic Good."

edit: I made this too long. Whoops. Sorry!

Huh. Thought this was gone. Well, hopefully I can keep it going with a few more questions:

1. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

2. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

3. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

Answering these a Miyuki Tarachi from my hypothetical Persona 5.

1. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

It'd be somewhere... nice and friendly, where there's no mean people, and my sister's back.

2. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

I don't want one! ...But if I had to pick maybe someone like my brother, but closer to me.

3. What sort of impression would you like to leave behind - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

I'm not even sure if anyone's ever going to come to my funeral, it'd be better if I just faded out and was forgotten. If someone does say something then they can say what they like, I'll be fine.

Bumper fictional gasbagging time! My interview is with a sallow, rather unctious young man called Ciaran Murdoch.

1. How was your life at home?

"Oh, perfectly reasonable...for all eleven years of it."

2. What's your main drive in life?

"Vengeance. *Spit* That bastard thinks I'm just another puppet to play with, but I'll be holding the strings at the end..."

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

"Once, in the main street of Pelagia, I saw a cripple mewling for aid in the gutters. Many passed him by, but one bent down to his aid. The cripple sprang up, clipped him on the chin, and made of with his wallet. The man asked a guard in turn for assistance. In return, the guard pushed him to the ground and kept kicking the man's face until it was a featureless mask of gore. Nobody stopped this injustice. Not even I. We are loathsome to the core."

4. How do you fight?

"From the darkness."

5. Why do you fight?

"To reach the monster who has deprived me of five years of my life, and make him suffer a hundredfold what I have endured."

6. What do you fight?

"Demons. Monsters human and inhuman. The vermin of this world and others."

7. What is your worst fear?

"Failure. Nothing else holds terror for me now"

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

"My blades. There is one other thing, a pendant...but it hurts to look at now."

9. Who is your closest friend?

"Jacob, Catherine and Siobhan. They're the closest I can call to friends, but they only stay with me due to our shared damnation."

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

"The frivolous euphemism we give to our lust, which is itself frivolous."

11. What is your favourite pastime?

"I have no time for such things. Every spare moment must be directed towards my survival, towards the moment of confrontation."

12. What do you most fear?

"You fail to fool me, cur."

13. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

"I have no response to that utter ass of a question. In death, however, my expression will be of triumph."

14. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

"I could not court anyone even if I desired to. Anyone who makes the mistake of taking an interest in me just becomes another sacrificial pawn in the game I have been trapped into playing."

15. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

"I've been fighting for my life for years. Neck deep doesn't begin to describe it."

16. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

"I used to dabble in necromancy. Having a pile of bones reconstitute itself and walk around is a notch above mere trickery."

17. What is your alignment? Why?

"This system has all the moral subtlety of a Waldlander after the fifth pint of ale. Nevertheless, I would fit most into Chaotic Neutral...I readily admit I serve none but myself, and my end justifies all means."

18. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

"As long as we corrupted maggots exist there can be no perfection."

19. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

"*Sigh* Why must there be so many boorish imbeciles in the world?"

20. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

"I care little what impression of me remains in the people I leave behind. What I do will excise one of Lethia's most rotten cankers from existence, and only I will know how it came to pass. That is enough."

Aww, did I hurt your widdle fee-fees?

Well There are two main characters (I should mention there half merfolk) in the story I'm working on so I'll awnswer as the male one (I've yet to think of names for them).

1. How was your life at home? Well my parents were slain in a freak accident involving a shark (at least it didn't rape them...) well the merfolk have a philosiphy that basicly translates to "children should should be mostly left to their own devies" so even if they were still alive I woulden't see that much of them anyway, but at least the others still have parents to visit every few weeks. 2. What's your main drive in life? Well me and my friend basicly want to find a place that we will be excepted 3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil? I belive that people are inherently good, my friend's somewhat more jaded.

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

#137: Sep 1st 2009 at 5:24:37 PM

The questions sat in front of me like a particularly ornery gatekeeper, demanding answers and tribute before I could proceed further. I took a swig from a flask in my pocket. I needed some liquid courage if I was going to be able to suffer these questions, which were more probing than my last proctologist's appointment.

Another barrier in the path of Trigger Loaded, Private Investigator. But then again, you wouldn't be interested if there were no barriers. Conflict-less stories don't attract attention, after all.

(Trigger Loaded, my namesake character. Fourth-Wall breaking private investigator of the 22nd century.)


1. How was your life at home?

Aggrivating. My parents were the sort that should've divorced, but decided to stick together for my sake. All it did was completely screw up my perception of a loving relationship. And screw up my perception of a normal talking volume. Fortunately, I've learned the second one well enough.


2. What's your main drive in life?

Get a case, make a few bucks, not get booted out of my roach hotel affectionately called an apartment by my landlord. And have enough left for beer. And cigars... Maybe some food after that.


3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

I believe humans are generally a bunch of selfish jerks. Present company included.


4. How do you fight?

With my fists. Or my pistol. What the hell kind of answer are you looking for?


5. Why do you fight?

Why do I fight? What kind of existential moronic question is that? I fight to prevent others from making my life more unpleasant than it already is. Be it through broken bones, gunshot wounds, plasma blasts, or what-have-you.


6. What do you fight?

Whoever's trying to introduce my face to their fist. Or their bullets to my internal organs. Seriously, was this questionnaire meant for characters from some stupid fantasy novel where there's a clear evil villain or something? This is ridiculous.


7. What is your worst fear?

Dogs.


8. What is your most treasured material possession?

My fedora. Do not touch the fedora.


9. Who is your closest friend?

Ahh, Harvey Karrol, my good drinkin' buddy. Him and I go way back.


10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

Check with my ex-wife. Any outlook I may have had she took from me as part of the divorce settlement.


11. What is your favourite pastime?

Beer.


12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Annoyed indifference. It's what I wear 3/4 of the time anyways.


13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

I believe I mentioned an ex-wife up above.


14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

Generally every time I get out of bed in the morning.


15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

I'm not that kind of a private investigator. I've considered branching out, though. Not because I actually believe it, but hell, more cases, more cash.


16. What is your alignment? Why?

My alingment? Out of. Both me and my car. If I had the cash, I'd go to a chiropractor. Or a grarage. Not sure which one first.


17. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

A beer in one hand, a stogie in the other, and a roach-free apartment. And two fridges. One full of food, the other full of beer.


18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

A young leggy brunette with a killer ass who knows how to cook, when to shut up, and won't pledge eternal love only to sleep with the manager at the local Burger Lord, then divorce me and take me for everything I have and then some.

I mentioned I'm divorced, right?


20. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

'Here lies Trigger Loaded. He was a tough S.O.B.'

Though with my luck, I'd be lucky to afford a tombstone that didn't have advertising space on it.


(Out of Character, now...) Want me to lay on some more questions? How about...

1: Preferred method of long-range transportation?

2: Favorite Vice?

3: What do you do to relax?

People of Earth, and associated colonies!

1. How was your life at home?

2. What's your main drive in life?

Ascending to my rightful throne, with my faithful servant Framr at my side! Tomorrow the Empire, next year, the Universe!

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

With my loyal bodyguard at my side, and my amazing reserves of mana and arcane power!!! Bow, fool, or you will experience how I fight first hand!

5. Why do you fight?

To take what is rightfully mine!

Glorious Revolution!!!

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Triumph

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

Once again, I have no time for love. Perhaps when I ascend to God Hood...

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

Escaping from the Imperial Palace with the entire Imperial Guard and Protecting Mages after you is no mean feat, even for an intellect and power of my caliber.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

Firstly, I weild the forces of that occult Mumbo Jumbo, second, I AM a god, awakened and gathering power as we speak!

16. What is your alignment? Why?

Ah, you humans and your funny morals. I am above such things! I AM GOD!!! (OOC: Chaotic Neutral Idealist)

One under my Benevolent Rule.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

Ahhh... Long Silky fur, a plump body and nice round head. Neon Yellow and Silver, preferably. Obedient but intelligent.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

Leave behind? Funeral? Excuse me, but I AM ETERNAL!!!! Fool! Bow, and beg that I spare your petty life!!

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation?

Teleportation. My own.

21. Favorite Vice?

You humans would call it "powerlust" and "Delusions of Grandeur", however, I assure you it is no delusion or vice.

22. What do you do to relax?

Your race's one redeeming quality is their music... And this substance known as "Captain Morgan"... And cows. Watching cows soothes me.

New Questions:

What is your favorite color?

Describe your worst enemy.

Off Topic, we should get Iyaki Minasan (my character, mentioned earlier in this thread) and Trigger Loaded to meet up.

Anyway, answering these as Miyuki again.

1. What is your favourite colour?

I could never really decide on one. Maybe red, like my hair.

2. Describe your worst enemy.

My worst enemy would be a person I couldn't fight. Not because I'm weaker, but because I just can't bring myself to hurt him.

3. Who do you admire?

My older brother, and also my older sister before... she... died.


1. Do you envy the lives of plants?

2. If the world is a stage and life is a play, then are you the only character/actor of any real importance?

3. In a room, the strong frighten away the weak into a corner. Who do you believe is to blame here, the weak or the strong?

(Free metaphorical pie if you know where these questions are from.)

Off Topic, we should get Iyaki Minasan (my character, mentioned earlier in this thread) and Trigger Loaded to meet up.

Seems like they do have a lot in common.

Anyways, continuing as Trigger Loaded, PI.


1: Preferred method of long-range transportation?

Anything that runs reliably and can take a few bullets.


2: Favorite Vice?

Beer.


3: What do you do to relax?

See above answer.


4: What is your favorite color?

See above answer... Oh, fine. Amber.


5: Describe your worst enemy.

Are you talking individuals, or concepts? I'd say rent and poverty are my greatest threats. (And simultaneously my closest companions) But if you want actual people... Hmm... Well, International terrorist Jack Nescent would be the most dangerous individual I've ever had to deal with, but Eris Mellandi would be the one who probably wants me dead more than any other individual. Still nicer than my...

Actually, screw all that. My worst enemy is my ex-wife.


6: Who do you admire?

Well, my good buddy Harvey Karrol, for still working with the police despite all they refuse to do. Several other individuals you've never heard of, but who I respect for upholding what is right, even when it goes against the law...


7. Do you envy the lives of plants?

On the one hand, they sit in pots and do nothing, just getting fed and watered regularly. On the other hand, they don't drink beer... Unless I was a plant that could live off beer...

8. If the world is a stage and life is a play, then are you the only character/actor of any real importance?

If I am, this play is a tragedy. Or a farce.

9. In a room, the strong frighten away the weak into a corner. Who do you believe is to blame here, the weak or the strong?

I blame the lunkhead who organized this crappy party.


A few more questions?

1: Boxers or Briefs? (Or if inapplicable, perferred undergarments?)

2: War, Huh! (Good god, y'all!) What is it good for?

3: So you think you can dance?

Answering as Mel Euklid (sic.) a female computer engineer:

1. How was your life at home?
Nice, I guess... It a feels so long ago... My mother used to take the entire family to an old friend in the summer, and he'd used to work at some OKB before the war, developing optical computers and shit. When mom'd fallen asleep we'd spend half the night just writing and compiling code in like three different languages just to see what it did... He had all these obscure computer systems lying around, like a TLC6561 and an OCS10 just collecting dust. I was, like, twelve, when he thought me everything I know about tertiary logic. Ah, damn, 's was so nice back then, not like now... Fuck.
2. What's your main drive in life?
Ah... It's, what can I say; it's like this; I just have to endure. I tried to kill myself once, when they pushed me too hard; didn't give me any release at all. Don't wanna go through that again, ever. 's long as I can avoid death and... that place... I'm almost happy.
3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?
I don't know... I've seen all these people do all these bad things, but some people do all these nice things, like taking me in, but then they do all these bad things in order to do good things, and back in the lab they did all these ostensibly nice things to me to keep me working even though they were pumping me full of shit... I really don't know.
4. How do you fight?
I can't fight. I did smash a guard in the face with my laptop once, but that's all really.

Eh, computer p-programming.

...? Eh? Oh, I guess I'd want to just be indifferent. I don't see any point in adopting a facial expression that doesn't actually tell people hom I really feel. If I'm just indifferent all the time p-p-people wouldn't k-k-care would they?
13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.
E-everyone comes over to me and thinks I'm so sad and shaken all the time, thinking it's something that can just go away if they're a bit friendly and show compassion. IF COMPASSION MADE IT GO AWAY, THREE OF USE WOULDN'T HAVE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE NOW WOULD WE! Oh fuck, d-d-d-d-did I blow up again, I'm s-s-so sorr-rr-rr-y

Answering as Kevin, a superhuman super soldier gone renagade.

1. How was your life at home?

I don't remember my home life. Nothing before I woke up in SPAI HQ and started being made into a weapon.

2. What's your main drive in life?

I want to do some good in the world. From all I can see, since the superpowers started appearing, the world has been just getting worse and worse. I want to fix it, any way possible.

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

Yeah. I think most people have some good in them.

4. How do you fight?

With a sword thing. Since I can turn insubstantial, bullets aren't a problem for me.

5. Why do you fight?

To help fix the world, and stop SPAI. I don't know what they want, but having been in the program, I know they aren't good people. Absolutely ruthless. That's why I quit. No clue why I was doing any of their fighting.

6. What do you fight?

SPAI's forces, especially the one that try to bring me and the rest of Team No-Name back. Sometimes I have to fight the police, but I always try not to.

7. What is your worst fear?

I dunno.

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

I don't have many, so... My sword-thing?

9. Who is your closest friend?

Probably Abraham. He's a genuinely nice guy. I feel sorry for him though. Almost everything he touches explodes, literally. He can't turn it off either. There's also Zak and Lloyd, but Lloyd really freaks me out sometimes, and Zak's not real talkative.

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

I try to love everybody.

11. What is your favourite pastime?

Relaxing to soft music. Like I ever get to.

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Happiness. Hopefully for a good reason.

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

I wouldn't want a liability out there for SPAI to find and grab. And they would. And I would cave.

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

Yeah. Caught napping by Team Phoenix, SPAI's top agent's. We barely escaped with our lives.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo?Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

Haha. Well, I am kinda a ghost in a way.

16. What is your alignment? Why?

Well, I try to be a good person. (OOC: Neutral Good, leaning towards lawful.)

17. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

People like me would try to help others, rather than trying to take them over and fighting all the time. There'd be no more war, and no more SPAI.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

I'd like someone sensitive, but strong willed, and not a pushover like me.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

I would like to have it said that I helped save the world, as corny as that sounds.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation?

I like planes. I always wished I could fly.

21. Favorite Vice?

I dunno. I don't really like my problems...

22. What do you do to relax?

Listen to soft music.

23. What is your favorite color?

White, I think.

24. Describe your worst enemy.

Team Phoenix. when they're not wreaking havoc on the world in general, they're chasing us. Their leader is a blind follower of SPAI, never questioning her orders, and never relenting in whatever she does. She is ruthless, pitiless, and demanding of her men. The rest of the squad is made up of a nutjob who reads (why? he doesn't follow it.) the bible when he's not killing things, an amoral wolverine wanna be who cares only about fast cars and easy women, and a destructivly psychopath kid who summons monsters into the world.

25. Who do you admire?

hmm... I guess the rest of my team, as well as Revolution Radio.

I'd rather the world betray me, but I won't betray the world.

I'll be answering as my Gentleman Thief Zachary Adams, more commonly known as the famous Phantom.

1. How was your life at home? Not the best. There were some... 'Issues' with my father that I'd rather not talk about.

2. What's your main drive in life? I just do what I have to to keep myself from getting caught. I've spent the past ten years training to be a master thief- I'm not going to stop doing this, so I might as well have a little fun while I'm at it. It's what keeps me going.

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil? I believe that everyone starts out as a blank slate. The people and situations around us are what makes us do what we do.

4. How do you fight? I don't. Physical violence is one of the few things I can't stand.

5. Why do you fight? Again, I don't fight.

6. What do you fight? You're not listening to me all, are you?

7. What is your worst fear? Losing someone I love.

8. What is your most treasured material possession? My mother's necklace and the ripped arm of a toy bear. They remind me of the people I've lost.

9. Who is your closest friend? She left.

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love? I believe that 'true love' is possible, but not everyone has to have a partner.

11. What is your favourite pastime? I rather enjoy painting, though they don't turn out very well in my opinion.

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? I would choose to be blank. To be happy or sad or angry all the time would be terrible.

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest. Some one older than me, who can take charge for a change so I don't have to be the leader. Some one I can be honest with, who I don't have to hide anything from. Some one smarter than me, who can help me learn.

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation? There have been a few times early in my career when I thought I was done for, but thankfully I was never arrested.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff. No. I love a good fantasy story, an escape from the world, but things like that could never exist in real life.

16. What is your alignment? Why? I could be described as Chaotic Good, I suppose. Really, the only laws I tend to break are those that go against my job.

17. Describe your idea of a perfect world. My idea of a perfect world is something created by an angry and devastated ten-year-old. It's not something I'd like to go into detail about here.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner. I believe I already answered this question.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral? I don't want a funeral. I want to simply be buried and forgotten.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation? Taxis I suppose. Airplanes for when I have to go very far away.

21. Favorite Vice? I believe that would be my job.

22. What do you do to relax? I read or, as stated above, do some painting.

23. What is your favorite color? Navy blue.

24. Describe your worst enemy. I'd rather not go into detail about that particular person...

25. Who do you admire? When I was first beginning my career, my mentor. Also, authors like C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.

Answering as Tau, an extremely cynical Grumpy Old Man ex-soldier.

Let's see if I get this right...

1. How was your life at home?

Meh, nothing special. It was a while ago, so I can't remember much, and the stuff I can remember wasn't too good. At least it got me to toughen up a bit.

2. What's your main drive in life?

You assume I even have a drive?

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

Human nature is fundamentally nothing. Humans don't have nature. We forgot about that thousands of years ago.

4. How do you fight?

Like someone who isn't an idiot.

5. Why do you fight?

Because people are idiots, and they try and fight me, unaware that I'm an ex-soldier with years of experience. You asked earlier if I thought human nature was fundamentally good or evil. I gave my answer back then... and I'm going to give another, contradictory answer now: human nature is fundamentally moronic. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have to fight off illiterate thugs every single time I walk out of my house.

6. What do you fight?

Whoever's stupid enough to pick a fight.

7. What is your worst fear?

Having to answer these questions, and satisfy your idiocy.

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

Material possessions are for weak-minded idiots, incapable of grasping the concept that "want" doesn't equal "need".

9. Who is your closest friend?

Close friends are overrated.

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

My outlook on the idea of love is that that's all love is. An idea.

11. What is your favourite pastime?

Anything but talking to morons.

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

I only have one anyway: disappointment. And that's all I need, because that's all I get out of my life.

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

I'd rather not talk about that.

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

Nope. I was never stupid enough to get myself into that much trouble.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

Oh, you mean all that cultist shit. No, I don't believe in that stuff. And why should I? You'd have to have a brain the size of a fucking pea to believe in that stuff. Except ghosts; they exist. Everyone knows that, it's common knowledge unless you've been living in a rabbit hole.

16. What is your alignment? Why?

Alignment is subjective. Do try and phrase your questions in a less tiresome way; absolutes are usually bullshit.

17. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

Non-existent.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

Now you're starting to piss me off. I don't answer questions like that. Ever.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

You think I want a funeral. That's cute.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation?

The one where I'm not surrounded by loud, aggravating dickheads who haven't heard of "personal space".

21. Favorite Vice?

I'm fine with any vice as long as it isn't a hallucinogenic drug that makes me act like an absolute tosser and piss on my sofa.

22. What do you do to relax?

Sleep.

23. What is your favorite color?

Colour is overrated. And I realise I've said "X is overrated" before, but I haven't heard you come up with a better answer.

24. Describe your worst enemy.

Here's a question: who asked you to ask me these questions? Whoever that person is, they're my worst enemy.

25. Who do you admire?

The person that manages to kill me in a fight.

Answering as Asa Akagawa, a telekinetic gunslinger.

1. How was your life at home? I've lived by myself in a rundown apartment, barely scraping by enough money to eat, for the last 9 years. So yeah, not so great.

2. What's your main drive in life? Honestly, I don't know. I could answer with the traditional friends and family crap but I'd be lying if I said I had any. All I really want is to see this world fixed and the scum wiped away.

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil? Society ruins the innocence of everyone on this planet. You may be born good, but even the purest of us die a sinner.

4. How do you fight? My gun. My precious, precious gun. How I love my gun... Oh yeah, and I have telekinesis. But mostly my gun.

5. Why do you fight? Because if I don't step up to try and fix this place, no one else'll even bother.

6. What do you fight? Psychics, like myself.

7. What is your worst fear? The only thing one should fear in life is the unknown.

8. What is your most treasured material possession? *looks down at his gun* Why? Who wants to know?

9. Who is your closest friend? Mizell, a food stand owner. Doesn't look like I'll be seeing him for a while though.

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love? What kind of idiotic question is that?

11. What is your favorite pastime? Reading, target practice and beating up the occasional mugger.

12. What do you most fear? Repetition.

13. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? Nothing. With a blank face, no one can ever guess what you're thinking.

14. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest. Love will only make you vulnerable, and in the world we live in, that's not a risk you can take.

15. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation? Every. Single. Freaking. Day. When you travel with Violet, you tend to attract trouble.

16. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff. Have we forgotten that we're speaking to a psychic here? Jeez, some people have the attention span of a...

17. What is your alignment? Why? Somewhere around Neutral Good, although I'm not sure if I qualify after the alleyway incident...

18. Describe your idea of a perfect world. Such a thing cannot exist. The best we can hope for is a world where you can at least rest easy at night, knowing you'll wake in the morning.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral? That at least I gave a rip about this miserable little dirtball.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation? I can fly.

21. Favorite Vice? Let me get back to you on that.

22. What do you do to relax? I sit down with a warm cup of tea and a book. Preferably something written by Lovecraft.

23. What is your favorite color? Black, because it works with anything.

24. Describe your worst enemy. Humanity.

25. Who do you admire? There isn't a single person worth admiring. Not anymore.

1. How was your life at home?

The Hold is my home so I suppose I still live there. Things are pretty good here, could be better but so could everything here in the outer rings. We're lucky in the Hold at least we have the tech to keep things running smoother than elsewhere.

2. What's your main drive in life?

We get a lot of disasters out here, floods and collapses, I don't think I can stop that, not entirely, but they could've gotten the people out safe if they'd even bothered. I'm not asking for 100% success rate I just want to see them try.

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

Never much thought about it. I guess I think it's sort of a "blank slate".

4. How do you fight?

To win.

5. Why do you fight?

Because it seems like the only thing that catches they're attention.

6. What do you fight?

Officers mostly, rarely a sentinel, those we try to avoid.

7. What is your worst fear?

It'd be far too easy to lose what I have here, the people I work with, the place I live. I don't like thinking about how easy it is...

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

Paper, pencil, my engineering tools.

9. Who is your closest friend?

Lil and Joel.

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

Ah, that's generally regarded as a good thing, right?

11. What is your favourite pastime?

I guess talking to co-workers. We don't get a lot of down-time. When we do I like swimming and building small, simple, machines.

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

A smile? Though, I can see that being potentially awkward in some instances..

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

((Heros in my stories never have love interests or a heavily commented on sexuality. No reason, it just never seems to happen))

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't born in one and never got out. But if I had to get specific there was a recent mess with a sentinel.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

Uh, what are you on about? I guess I don't then...

16. What is your alignment? Why?

Somewhere between Neutral Good and Chaotic Good.

17. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

Unattainable, but I'll settle for improving this one. Right now, that looks like finding a way to spread the technological advancements we've and that'll take taking the Core from the ones who control it.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

((MY poor heroes are eternally celibate.))

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

Funeral? Hopefully that's a long way off and I can't say I have any particulars about what I'd want said.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation?

The trains are the only method of long-range transportation unless you want to walk.

21. Favorite Vice?

Can't say I have one, don't drink or smoke, don't gamble...I'm reckless, you could call that a vice, but it's really an activity I could categorize as a "favourite".

22. What do you do to relax?

Read.

23. What is your favorite color?

Blue?

24. Describe your worst enemy.

Can't say I have one in particular...John's a real prick, though.

25. Who do you admire?

A lot of people, for a lot of different reasons. Anybody who's got any sort of talent I don't, and that's most people, I'll probably admire that talent.

1. How was your life at home?

Boring. I'm sorry; it wasn't good form to express much of anything, and that didn't leave much to talk about.

2. What's your main drive in life?

Whatever I am told to do, protocol, all of those replacements for forming one's own. Maybe less so now...I don't want to talk about it. It's very confusing, and I don't know if it's correct...

3. Do you believe human nature is fundamentally good or evil?

I do not feel like either. I've never been ordered to do anything evil before, but it's crossed my mind because in my present environment, it could happen any day. I am afraid that I would do it as mechanically as I do everything else...perhaps that I am afraid, though, is a sign that I have protection against it. On the contrary, though, it may be an emblem of my weakness.

4. How do you fight?

I never have.

5. Why do you fight?

I don't know; I never have. Or...maybe I would, for...someone.

6. What do you fight?

I've never fought anything.

7. What is your worst fear?

I have two. One I just told you about—that someone could write evil on my blankness and that I wouldn't resist. The other developed more recently, and every day I have to see it having come to life. I try to avoid him...my fear...*coughing fit; sounds intentional*

8. What is your most treasured material possession?

I've never treasured possessions very much—not for any noble reasons, but just because I don't care easily. As of a few moments ago, however, I do have one. It's right next to me, wrapped in fear.

9. Who is your closest friend?

Supposedly I had one when very, very young...I lost touch with her. Don't remember her name...I suppose she gave up on me. It's tiring not to keep to myself. Maybe a friend could mean someone who does not give up. I...could say I have one of those. My employer, who really shouldn't trust me, but he does. He's so callous when I respond, though...

10. What is your outlook on the idea of love?

I don't know anymore. It works differently for me than I thought it did my whole life.

11. What is your favourite pastime?

I don't...well, I am a doctor. I must like something about it.

12. If you could only have one facial expression for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

How I look when I have no expression at all. It's fitting for most situations.

13. Describe your ideal love interest, or explain your lack of interest.

Feeling one's first love so late in life cannot be normal; though I am a doctor, I'm afraid to read about it. I...don't think I'm qualified to give an answer.

14. Have you ever thought you were in a "neck deep in trouble" situation?

I walk a knife edge above a pit of them.

15. Do you believe in all that occult mumbo-jumbo? Sleeping gods, talking with ghosts, mildewed old tomes with weird illustrations, that kind of stuff.

You sound like you have not met my employer. Something cut a chain in his being, forcibly. You feel the dissonance—such a brilliant man cannot be this way, and yet he is. I saw him for the first time and instantly believed in devils.

16. What is your alignment? Why?

Neutral. Just neutral. It's not as friendly as it looks.

17. Describe your idea of a perfect world.

I...do not care. As long as...as...well.

18. Describe your perfect (romantic) life partner.

Are you trying to get me to spit it out?? Fine; you say this is confidential...I am thirty-six. At thirty-three, I fell in love with a man, the first time I'd ever felt such things. I'd feared all my life that it was my vicious apathy that had prevented me from attraction to my former wives. I wish I had known then that it wasn't personal, and had been able to say so; my lack of response to their affections frightened more than one, and myself.

But. The ideal state of the man I am in love with would be this: all the way alive. He is being slowly killed and is almost gone; his shell mostly contains a vacuum.

19. What sort of impression do you want to leave behind as a person - what would you like people to say about you at your funeral?

I don't want one. It would be an awkward silence. Some people just aren't anyone much. Maybe do something about the body, and then leave me alone.

20. Preferred method of long-range transportation?

All I know is that I hate boats.

21. Favorite Vice?

Un-doctorly conduct? No, suspicious conduct was right out; that's what we agreed on. Un-doctorly feelings, perhaps. You must wonder what it's like for one who likes men to be doctor to a man who prefers women.

Day one, thirty seconds into the exam, he pulled me over and said he could tell. From what? All I'd done was walk into the room. However he could tell, I was sure I'd be fired. However, delivering that sentence would have required a sterner face than he was capable of. You'll stay, he said, and swore to me that he knew sexual tension like no one else. "If looking at me twice a year is all you can get, lucky for you I like being looked at."

Saved by narcissism. Always the bloody tease, him. It almost makes me smile.

22. What do you do to relax?

I don't.

23. What is your favorite color?

I...don't have one?

24. Describe your worst enemy.

I don't want to say it. I just want to do away with him and use my dreadful blankness to forget.

25. Who do you admire?

No one fully alive.
