A couple of days ago I posted a strange questionnaire in Where are you? (in your novel), and at travelgal's suggestion, I'm making this thread so it has a proper home.

The rules are simple: Pick a character from your story, be they your MC, your villain, or anyone you want to flesh out a bit more. Answer the following questions in-character, as that character. You don't have to answer all of them if you don't want to, but I did below since it's my thread after all. Just pick and choose the ones you like and think apply to your character, but I strongly suggest taking a few you don't already know the answers to - it'll help you flesh out your character a bit.

For reference, "Mason D. Wham" is an acronym for "Married to SO? Age of SO? Sex of SO? Occupation of SO? Name of SO? Duration of relationship/marriage? When and how did you begin your relationship? Around what is the relationship based (genuine chemistry, sex, lies, last week’s booty call, etc.)? MC’s roof fell in and he/she asked the couple if it’s okay if he/she stays on their couch for a while: is this okay with them and why? – omit this last question if either the character or the SO is the MC".

Playing in the woods with Dad.

Anything you can lift weights to. Though I’m usually doing other things to them, if you catch my drift.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry?
Just earrings on special occasions.

Are you addicted to anything?
Adrenaline.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not?
A Huntress. I’m studying to be one, yeah. Why? Because I can kick ass and take names, that’s why.

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
Are you kidding? I’d miss out on all the fun if I did that!

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom?
I don’t want to talk about it. Don’t ask me again.

How much do you value money?
You need it if you want to not starve to death, but having money for the sake of having money is pointless. You could have spent it on cake!

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
You gonna drink that? ‘Cuz I will.

What's your one big kink?
Whatever gets you off.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive?
Out of combat I’m fairly passive. In combat I’m defensive by default, but my counterattacks are over-aggressive.

Get that shit away from my salad, thank you VERY much.

Cats or dogs?

I think so.

Free cake. I like cake.

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
Is there cake over there?
Can you do any accents or impressions?
Oh, LOADS! It’s always really funny to pretend to be a Professor and talk about a pop quiz I’m giving ‘my’ class tomorrow as I walk through empty bookshelves in the library and see who shows up super early for class the next day.
What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced?
I’m done here.

Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?

Do you stand up for what you believe in?

What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?

Here's a minor POV character who I'm currently revamping.



What is your name? Aregenos Diessild

How do you pronounce your name? As it is spelt, naturally.

Do you have a nickname? None that I answer to.

When's your birthday, and how old are you? Second of Greenearth, 1977 LD.

I am sixty-eight years of age, which would be eighty in native (base 10) counting. My race live up to 250 (native counting again) years, and so I am in my prime still.


What's your occupation? Lawmaster Magister, instructor of neophytes

What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale? Male, and 3

What species are you? Calaani

What do you look like? 6'7, close cropped hair (dyed grey), severe features, dark brows, habitually wearing grey

Do you have an SO? If so, Mason D. Wham them for me. No. It is better to remain unattached.

How big is your family. We do not have family structures. I may have progeny, I do not know. I likely have siblings, but never sought them out. I discovered one of my progenitors, but he is either dead or secretly incarcerated.

Have any pets? Come again?

What kind of personality to you have? Self righteous and stern, but utterly committed and idealistic at hearts.

SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me. Born, studied law in the coterie of law, endured ascension, completed military service, discovered progenitor (and wrote to him), then endeavoured to follow in his illustrious footsteps. He was later convicted of treason for the ethics he espoused, galvanising me to take up his causes. I am committed to rewriting the social practices which have inflicted so much pain. I have now given up a high-flying career and much prestige to ensure I am in the right place, at the right time, to kill the right person.

Your likes and dislikes? Clean lines, order, research, debate, politics.

Your strengths and weaknesses? Conviction, and single-mindedness, respectively

What kind of clothes do you like to wear? I wear what is appropriate for my station.

What's your first memory? The hatcheries of Calaan.

What's your favorite song, and why? Into the Night, an opera

What's your favorite food, and why? We do not eat "food", only rations.

What's your favorite animal, and why? I do not like animals.

What's your least favorite food, and why? See above.

What's your least favorite animal, and why? See above.

If you were an element, which element would you be? Nitrogen, perhaps?

Do you have a theme song or leitmotif? I am unfamiliar with this concept.

Who's your favorite musical artist? I prefer poetry. It can be read in silence.

Who's your favorite literal artist? [Insert famous Calaani artist here]

What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)? Lawful neutral.

What's your socioeconomic level? All are equal in the Republic.

Do you have any hobbies? Once, no longer. There is no time for writing.

What's your blood type? All our blood is of a type.

Do you have any special skills or talents? My intellect.

What's your patience level? Exceedingly high. I must constantly endure the stupidity of others.

What's your preferred method of transportation? Ascender, naturally.

Which TVTropes best apply to you? Television is a good example of why natives cannot be trusted to rule themselves.

What do you smell like? Ink

Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not? If you do, what is it?
Weapons are forbidden on the island. I carry one anyway. It is an anelas, and made of surreal matter.

Do you have a catchphrase? Must I constantly repeat myself?

Where do you live, and why? I live on the island where our kidn first landed. I am here to kill a particular person.

Do you have any fears or phobias? That I shall fail.

Is there a God? ​Indeed, and it is well-known that he exists. The Calaani simply choose not to worship him, or the them, which is their prerogative since they successfully imprisoned the gods.


Do you have any pet peeves? Ever so many.

Random fact! My coterie has one of the highest survival rates for neophytes undergoing ascension.

What's something other people assume about you? That I am dry, boring, or fusty.

Do you like your name? Of course. I chose it, as all adult Calaani may do.

Do you have any nervous habits or ticks? I am not given to a nervous disposition.

Can you speak multiple languages? Naturally.

Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications?I bear the oathbinding, as part of being allowed to work on Fallen Bells. It prevents me from spilling secrets to the youth here.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry? Of course not.

Are you addicted to anything? We cannot develop addictions.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not? More or less, though I am a seditionist and a radical now.

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide? My venture is suicidal, but I don't wish to die particularly.

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom? One who later disdained me. Long ago now.

How much do you value money? I don't.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty? That is a matter of perception.

What's your one big kink? I have no idea.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive? I am as the situation requires.

Coke or Pepsi? Saltleaf tea.

Ranch or Italian dressing? Such food would make me ill.

Cats or dogs? Books.

Do you have a sworn enemy?Yes, though she does not know it.

How do you feel about love? Comes second to justice.

What's your favorite memory? Receiving a reply from my father.

Are you ticklish? No.

What's your outlook on life? Bleak.

Do you play any instruments or sing. No longer.

What's your favorite holiday? I have never taken one.

If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be? Truth

Would you ever kill someone? I plan to, and have before.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create? That all Calaani law become hard reality.

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening? I have already done this, I think!

Can you do any accents or impressions? No.

What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced? The torture and oppression of natives.

Are you involved with magic or witchcraft? Such things exist but sparsely on this world.

Do you stand up for what you believe in? Oh yes. I do that at least.

What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera All things permitted in the pursuit of justice.

Is this genre specific?

I've no doubt some folk find this exercise helpful, but it would drive me absolutely bonkers to even consider answering a fraction of these questions.

If I know my character well enough to answer the questionnaire, what is it's purpose?

Oh, if it doesn't resonate with you, I'm pretty sure no one is going to force you to think about for even a moment longer.

But: The shorter version of this that Yzjdriel posted in the other thread - I had copied it down and tested it out on my two POV characters, just for a few minutes' diversion. I skipped the question that didn't make any sense to me.

It seems possible that one might not know one's character well enough to answer all questions at the beginning of the exercise, and then know one's character better at the end of it. I added a little backstory to one of mine in the answers - just a small thing, but it was fun to have a prompt to think of it.

Moreover, I answered the questions as though my characters were being interviewed, which allowed me to explore their voices a little and think of how they would respond to such things.

I enjoyed it.

This longer version kind of encourages shorter answers for expedience, so it might be best to pick and choose the questions that are interesting and give them more than several-word answers.

Here are my answers to the shorter list from the other thread, for my two POV characters. They would have been intrigued by the Kinsey Scale question, I think, because the work of Alfred Kiinsey would have been the talk of every cocktail party they attended. Of course, at that time, there was only "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" -- the follow-up, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female," was still a few years away.

Eddie:

What kind of clothing do you like to wear?
Nothing good enough for my mother, it seems. (Laughs) Plain, I suppose. I like dark colors, plain wool suits or knit dresses. I prefer narrow skirts. Oh, I’ll wear something poufy with the petticoats and all that when I have to, for black-tie stuff, but I never know what to do with myself in them. What do you do with all that skirt when you sit down? And also? I'm a klutz, I can't be trusted with nice things. See this sweater? See this, on the arm? I burned a hole clean through it with a cigarette once. Forgot all about it and here I am wearing the ratty thing. Now, you see, someone like Grace, she looks elegant in anything, like it was made for her.

What's your favorite food or drink?
Why, what are you pouring? I’ll take a rye and soda.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
Oh, wow. I guess I’d repeal the laws that outlaw us, and then make it a new law that everyone else has to leave us the hell alone. I suppose that’s pretty selfish. My mother wouldn’t approve.

Your favorite song?
“I got a gal in Kalamazoo.” There was this girl I met back at May & June’s, see, who was from Michigan... that was a long time ago. I haven’t seen her in years. I wonder what happened to her. Sometimes the girls don't make it, you know? They give up and go back where they came from, or ... Yeah, I know a few who killed themselves, quickly or slowly. I hope she wasn't one of them.

What do you smell like?
Rye and soda. (Laughing again) No, I still wear the same cologne I wore in college. That gal from Michigan liked it.

Is the glass half-full or half empty?
Half-empty, always. Something dreadful could be just around the corner.

How do you feel about love?
Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. What can I say? I am the romantic type by nature, I think, but I am out of luck because the truth is there aren’t a lot of happy endings for people like me. I don’t know too many couples who have been together more than a few years. Gay girls, I mean, when I say couples, but you knew that. It’s just damned hard, our kind of life, even for girls like me with some money who don't have to worry about jobs and a place to live. It's hard even for us. We always end up taking it out on each other instead of taking care of each other. I’m sure the psychoanalysts can give you all kinds of reasons why that’s so.

What's your one big kink?
Well if you ask those psychoanalysts again, my whole life is one big kink. I’ll be honest with you, since we’re already talking about it: I love the smell of a woman. I love the way a woman’s body feels under my hands. There is nothing like it, nothing in the world. If you’re a man, you know where I’m coming from and you know I’m right. I’ve been in analysis and I’ll tell you I didn’t get a lot from it. The doctor said it was because I didn’t truly want to be cured. Well, this probably means I’m even sicker than most people think I am, but I don’t want to be cured. All the crap we put up with, all the secrets and lying, all of it? When I have a woman in my arms, I know – and I mean I KNOW – that it’s all worth it. Surer than I have ever known anything, I know it. Does that make me a pervert, some kind of psycho? (shakes head) It probably does. They say it does, anyway.



Grace:
What kind of clothing do you like to wear?
Oh, you know, nothing too fancy, anything by Christian Dior or Pierre Balmais. (laughing) I love these crepe slacks, don’t you? I wish I could wear them more but they are strictly casual, you know. When my husband and I go out I’ll wear a satin gown, or velvet, something red. I rather like red and I look quite all right in it, if I may say so. And I’m not sure I ever go anywhere without a silk scarf. That’s what Eddie says, anyway, that I always have a silk scarf on. She’s right, of course.

What's your favorite food or drink?
Martini, extra vermouth. Oh - or a very fine brandy.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
You mean I’m not already Dictator of the Universe? (laughs) Oh, I don’t know. Wouldn’t it be nice to end all war and all poverty, something like that? Yes, that would be nice. I’d probably also make the world smaller so it’s easier to travel. Doesn’t that sound like a good idea?

Your favorite song?
Anything by Billie Holiday, really. Oh, how about “Easy Living.” That’s not even her best one, but I don’t know, there’s just something about it that gets to me. It’s as if I’ve known it all my life.

What do you smell like?
Do you like it? Mystère de Calais. It’s my favorite perfume, a French scent, of course. I hardly wear anything else since I discovered it. I get it from an import place on 33rd street.

Is the glass half-full or half empty?
Half full, of course. Life is full of wonder, isn’t it? Something remarkable could be just around the corner.

How do you feel about love?
Love. What a thing it is. I didn’t have any idea what love was about until I had my daughter. Oh, I mean, I love Shep – I really do, he’s a darling man, very gentle and thoughtful and surely the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life. But the first time I looked at Katie – I mean, she opened doors in my heart that I never knew were there. You think you know what love is – you really don’t. You don’t know until something like that happens to you.

What's your one big kink?
Excuse me? (laughing) I'm sure I don't have one. A kink? Goodness. What kind of a question is that?

Not really, though I suppose the species question presumes a level of fantasy.

It's a rather extensive list of strange questions, I'll give you that. But it's these sort of odd questions that let one flesh out a character beyond just "life before Page One", "personality archetype", "motivations", and "flaws" - I learned a fair few things about myself when I looked at this list for the first time.

If you know your character well enough to answer the questionnaire, then you don't really need this, do you? Though I find it helpful because sometimes I know what a character is, but not who they are: I mean, I know all the answers, but this form is for the character to respond to, not me. Sometimes I learn about a character by how they word things. Take Kailyn for example: I didn't know she'd walk out before finishing until she did. Mind you, I know exactly why she did it, but I couldn't have told you that's how this would end until I started writing it.

I already have.

I do personality questionnaires sometimes for characters, to think about how they are. Sometimes I also spend time wondering how they'd react to a modern environment; what sort of music ehty'd enjoy, etc. That's not too dissimilar either.. Aregenos is relatively minor but was in need of reworking, so I've found it a cute way of doing that.

Is this genre specific?

I've no doubt some folk find this exercise helpful, but it would drive me absolutely bonkers to even consider answering a fraction of these questions.

If I know my character well enough to answer the questionnaire, what is it's purpose?

It's not for me, either. I feel like I'd have to force answers to create compatible matches or incompatibility between characters. Much of this doesn't even come up when I'm writing, some of it superfluous (particularly the blood type question. While the question might come up during some sort of medical emergency, some cultures more than others place importance on it in determining personality), some of it enough to elicit an "awww!" reaction from me when the characters find out something like this during the course of the story.

A lot of questions I couldn't answer for myself, but I did enjoy doing the shorter one in the other thread. I am planning on doing this for another character though, when time is more forgiving.

A couple of days ago I posted a strange questionnaire in Where are you? (in your novel), and at travelgal's suggestion, I'm making this thread so it has a proper home.

The rules are simple: Pick a character from your story, be they your MC, your villain, or anyone you want to flesh out a bit more. Answer the following questions in-character, as that character. You don't have to answer all of them if you don't want to, but I did below since it's my thread after all. Just pick and choose the ones you like and think apply to your character, but I strongly suggest taking a few you don't already know the answers to - it'll help you flesh out your character a bit.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
Legalize weed.
Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
So basically you're asking me if I would let the world be one big acid trip? Hell yeah! I dunno, though. You'd probably get pretty bored with it after having that everyday. There should be an option where we can opt to just have everyone kick back and chill with a doobie every now and then just to change things up.

Can you do any accents or impressions
I dunno. Never tried. My bud, Tommy, can.

What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced?
Goddamn. You really wanna dig into my psyche don't you? My dad was pretty abusive. That's as far as I'll go.
Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?
When I get high.

Do you stand up for what you believe in?
Sure do.
What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?
I dunno. I don't really care. We're all f*ck ups in one fashion or another. Guess I can't judge.

Damn, I read through this, and I just thought up a drinking game. Take a shot every time I say, "I dunno..." haha! Alright, peace, bros. I'm gonna go chill.

I'm going to be doing this for my MC, but her age fluctuates throughout the book/series, so I'll be answering as her adult self.
What is your name?
Wynn Canthet

How do you pronounce your name?
Normally.

Do you have a nickname?
When your name is one syllable it hardly makes sense to shorten it. Though one girl calls me 'Spook,' so I suppose that would be one?

When's your birthday, and how old are you?
I actually don't know. I suppose it might be the tenth day of the last month, but that's so different between one world and the next. It would be easier to simply choose a day, wouldn't it? Oh, and I would be... I believe twenty-seven.

What's your occupation?
Is wanderer an occupation? I suppose not...

What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale?
Female and the what? Hm... Sideways?

What species are you?
Halfbreed.

What do you look like?
Roughly me-shaped. In all seriousness, I suppose I would be considered tall. My hair has grown long, so I really should cut it, despite what the spirits say. Like all halfbreeds my eyes hold no color. And... hm... I am most comfortable in my armor.

Do you have an SO? If so, Mason D. Wham them for me.
It's... Well, you see... I... I'd rather not talk about that, if it's all right.

How big is your family?
I don't think it matters. They're dead.

Have any pets?
He wouldn't like being called a pet and I suppose he truly isn't one. I'm not entirely sure, to be honest with you. I sort of brought him back from the dead, but he doesn't appear to have a soul anymore, or much intelligence. I've been trying to teach him how to be kind to others, but it is slow going.

What kind of personality do you have?
The kind that makes people think I'm crazy.

SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me.
I was born and sent to live in the monastery.

Your likes and dislikes?
Spiders, sweet things, Sir Fluffy, catacombs, and a few other things. I don't really like warmth, nor too inquisitive people.

Your strength and weaknesses?
Ingenuity, determination, and perseverance. Hm... I'm rather weak in the logic department and the seeing things easily department.

What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
My armor. I don't like anything else.

What's your first memory?
Papa singing to me.

What's your favorite song, and why?
The one Papa used to sing about the white raven. I haven't heard it in years...

What's your favorite food, and why?
Cooked steak. Raw is okay, but it just... lacks, you know? And then you get blood everywhere and that's never fun.

What's your favorite animal, and why?
I don't know many animals. I could say ravens, but I suppose there'd be something cliche about that, wouldn't there?

What's your least favorite food, and why?
The meat from sentients. It's not a good thing to eat... and it's almost as if you can taste their suffering.

What's your least favorite animal, and why?
I suppose it would be... oh, what are they called? Those little beetles. They get inside everything and have the papery wings. They're terrible.

If you were an element, which element would you be?

Whichever steals your breath and keeps it for its own, suffocating you until you beg for mercy.

Do you have a theme song or leitmotif?
I don't know what that second word is and I don't have a concept of what you're asking.

Who's your favorite musical artist?
Um... hm...?

Who's your favorite literal artist?
I don't know.

What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)?

Oh! This is one I know! Um... True Neutral, I think it's called?

What's your socioeconomic level?
Poor? I don't know. I'm supposed to be ruling my family's empire, but... that's become complicated.

Do you have any hobbies?
I try to bring things back from the dead occasionally.

What's your blood type?
Red. That's what you meant, right?

Do you have any special skills or talents?
They call it necromancy. That and drawing people to me. Though, I don't quite know how the second one keeps happening.

What's your patience level?
You're asking the wrong question. What you should be asking is how patient people are with me.

What's your preferred method of transportation?
Sir Fluffy.

Which TVTropes best apply to you?
What are those? Do they taste good?

What do you smell like?
Me?

Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not? If you do, what is it?

Why wouldn't I? I'm wandering between worlds. Of course I carry a weapon. It's a sword. Just a sword. I think I might like a scythe but I don't think it's too good in battle.

Do you have a catchphrase?
No.

Where do you live, and why?

Everywhere. I don't know.

Do you have any fears or phobias?
Probably, but I don't like thinking about them.

Is there a God?
No.

Do you have any pet peeves?
People asking too many questions?

Random fact!
...What's your random fact?

What's something other people assume about you?
That I have all my organs?

Do you like your name?
Yeah, it's pretty name-like.

Do you have any nervous habits or ticks?
I always make sure I don't have any ticks on me. It's very important, especially in the summer.

Can you speak multiple languages?
Yes.

Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications?
Yes. I have some tattoos.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry?
No.

Are you addicted to anything?
Breathing, mostly.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not?
Alive. Yes. Because I'm not dead.

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
Kind of?

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom?
I don't want to talk about it.

How much do you value money?
As much as money is valued.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
Upside down.

What's your one big kink?
Being with someone alive.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive?
Yes. Sometimes.

Coke or Pepsi?

I have no idea what you're asking.

Ranch or Italian dressing?
What are these words?

Cats or dogs?
Both.

Do you have a sworn enemy?
Many.

How do you feel about love?
It's very much love-like.

What's your favorite memory?
I don't want to talk about that right now.

Are you ticklish?
No.

What's your outlook on life?
It's life-like.

​Do you play any instruments or sing?
No. I never learned to do either.

What's your favorite holiday?
I don't know what that is...

If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
I'm not sure. Peace? I'd really like to just... stop. I'm tired of going, I'm tired of fighting.

Would you ever kill someone?
I've killed many someones.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
Hm. I'm not sure? I haven't decided yet.

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
I think anything already is possible? Except enjoying bug baths. That isn't possible.

Can you do any accents or impressions?
Again, I really don't entirely understand.

What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced?

...That... that isn't something you should know. That isn't something you should see.

Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?
Is necromancy magic?

Do you stand up for what you believe in?
I don't know what I believe in but I think I would stand up for it if I knew.

What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?
Hm. Lying isn't very kind, neither is cheating. I've stolen food. Killing... I did that. Take from that what you will.

What is your name? Aelfinn Wolfwind
How do you pronounce your name? Um, Ale, as in the drink. Fin, as on a fish. Wolf, as in wolf. Wind as in wind.
Do you have a nickname?
My brother calls me Ael. That's all right. Other people call me Fall-down. It used to bother me, but I've grown used to it.
When's your birthday, and how old are you?
I was born around midsummer. Right now, I'm nearly 16.
What's your occupation?
That's tricky. "Prince" isn't really an occupation. Right now, I'm filling in for our ambassador in the Northern Isles. He was just murdered.
What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale?
I'm male, and I don't understand the rest of the question.
What do you look like?
I'm short. Dark hair, pale face. Long nose. I am not hunchbacked. People say I am, but I'm not. It's just a twist in my upper back. Ironically, I look a bit like my uncle Telwinn, but he was handsome, and somehow I'm not.
Do you have an SO? If so, Mason D. Wham them for me.
Oh, be serious. Reread the answer above. Does it sound like I'd have an SO?
How big is your family?
There's me, my father and my little brother.
Have any pets?
I have a horse named Kessie.
What kind of personality to you have?
Quiet, I suppse.
SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me.
I was the firstborn of the King of Haeasenlun. Unfortunately, because of my less than stellar physique, I wasn't suitable for his heir. My father wanted to abandon me, but my mother saved my life. Three years later my brother, the Heir was born. Mama was murdered shortly thereafter. From that point on, it was pretty depressing.
Your likes and dislikes?
I like books. We have over 100 in our castle library, did you know? That's the biggest library in the coastal kingdoms. I dislike having to undergo physical training when I'm obviously not ever going to be a warrior.
Your strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths? Let's see, I can read, which most people can't. And I can make myself pretty unnoticeable. Weaknesses? I've got a crooked back, I take fits where I black out and fall down, and I sometimes forget to keep my mouth shut.
What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
New ones! But I rarely get them.
What's your first memory?
Sitting in bed while my mother sings to me after I was sick.
What's your favorite song, and why?
The lullaby she used to sing. Silly little song, but it makes me feel safe.
What's your favorite food, and why?
I'm Haeasenluni, so I like lamb stew. It's a law, I think.
What's your favorite animal, and why?
I don't know, horses, maybe? Unless - promise you won't think this is weird - I kind of like snakes. They're meaningful to me.
What's your least favorite food, and why?
Lamb stew that's more than two weeks old. Eww.
What's your least favorite animal, and why?
I don't really have one.
If you were an element, which element would you be?
Let's see, I'm definitely not fire or air. Water, maybe, or earth. Is mud an element?
Do you have a theme song or leitmotif?
No.
Who's your favorite musical artist?
There's a lot of good bards who performs for my father.
Who's your favorite literal artist?
You mean writing? or drawing? If it's writing, the best story I ever read was about this monk who visited the Tarkhelan empire. Maybe I could go there some day. It sounds amazing.
What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)?
The what now?
What's your socioeconomic level?
Prince. But oddly, I have very little money. Father doesn't give me much.
Do you have any hobbies?
Studying when I can. Hiking is fun, particularly if my brother comes with me.
What's your blood type? You'd be surprised at how many ways you could make this become relevant.
Blood type? Isn't everyone's red and liquid?
Do you have any special skills or talents?
I can read. I can swim. I can fight with a knife a bit.
What's your patience level?
I've learned patience over the years.
What's your preferred method of transportation?
Riding Kessie. She's a great horse.
Which TVTropes best apply to you?
I know not what these are.
What do you smell like?
Good, I hope. A lot of people think we don't bathe, but we actually understand the benefits of a good scrub-down on a regular basis.
Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not?
If you do, what is it? Here's my favorite knife. My teacher Gaeda gave it to me. It's a professional assassin's knife. I'm not actually an assassin, but I do have to be prepared to defend the kingdom.
Do you have a catchphrase?
No.
Where do you live, and why?
I live in the castle in Lirendun most of the time. Right now, I'm visiting the Sea Lord of the Northern Isles.
Do you have any fears or phobias?
I fear that maybe I can't protect my brother the way I should.
Is there a God? Remember that this is the character's opinion, not yours, and that it's okay for the answer to be "I don't give a damn".
All my teachers tell me there are many gods. And if there isn't, who saved me as a baby?
Do you have any pet peeves?
Being called "Fall-down" when it should be "Your Highness."
Random fact!
I taught myself to swim in the lake. No one bothered to teach me.
What's something other people assume about you?
That I'm jealous of my brother. I used to be, but I'm not any more
Do you like your name?
Sure. One of the least objectionable parts of my existence.
Do you have any nervous habits or ticks?
Not particularly.
Can you speak multiple languages?
Yes. Haeasenluni, Northern, Crorari, Sesiri, Frithauluni and Cathluni. Those are easy, because they're related. I'm trying to learn Tarkhelan, but that's hard because there's no one to teach me in Lirendun. But right now I've sort of made friends with a Tarkhelan envoy, so I'm working on it.
Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications?
Tattoos? Um, who told you about that? Sorry, my tattoo is NOT actually a mark pledging me to an evil goddess. Really.
Do you wear any kind of jewelry?
I have a gold cloak pin from my brother.
Are you addicted to anything?
No.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not? I wanted to be a traveller. So, I guess that's what I'm doing now. Sucks that it was because I was banished, though.
Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
Never in a serious way. Did consider it when suffering severe seasickness.
Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom?
When I was 13, a beautiful older woman kissed me. It felt wonderful. Then she tried to persuade me to kill my brother. Pretty sure she'd then have me killed to. So, all in all, not the best first kiss.
How much do you value money?
It's a very useful thing.
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
It's both.
What's your one big kink?
I've been kissed once. I'm not ready for that.
Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive?
I used to be passive, but now I think I'm defensive.
Coke or Pepsi?
What are these strange elixirs?
Ranch or Italian dressing?
Still no clue what these are.
Cats or dogs?
I like both.
Do you have a sworn enemy?
Sigh. Strange as it sounds, the closest I have is my own father. He's still not happy I wasn't killed as a baby.
How do you feel about love?
I'd like more of it.
What's your favorite memory?
Playing with my brother in the hills outside the castle.
Are you ticklish?
Sort of.
What's your outlook on life?
In general it's a good thing, if horrible things would just stop happening to me.
Do you play any instruments or sing?
I'm told that I sound like a raven with a sore throat.
What's your favorite holiday?
Harvest festival.
If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
Maybe my mother back?
Would you ever kill someone?
Already have. He would have killed my brother otherwise.
You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
MAKE MORE BOOKS!
Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
I kind of like things to be under control. I experience that so rarely.
Can you do any accents or impressions? A little.
What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced? Finding my murdered mother's body.
Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?
NO! Who told you that? Was it Maccadan Deathaxe? He doesn't like me. But no, where would I even learn such a thing?
Do you stand up for what you believe in?
If I have to.
What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?
In general, they're bad. But I've done two out of the four, and I might do the others before I'm through. You do what you have to in this life.

Is this genre specific?

I've no doubt some folk find this exercise helpful, but it would drive me absolutely bonkers to even consider answering a fraction of these questions.

If I know my character well enough to answer the questionnaire, what is it's purpose?

Seconded. After reading the thread title, all I'm thinking of is the Monty Python and the holy grail :)

***mind the swearing*** (you asked my character to answer for himself...)

What is your name? Carl

How do you pronounce your name? The normal way

Do you have a nickname? Caveman

When's your birthday, and how old are you? 15 and fully grown because I had a shorter childhood than Homo sapiens.

What's your occupation? still at school

What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale? Male. Probably straight but seeing as I've never actually met anyone the same species as me, how am I supposed to know for sure?

What species are you? Omit if there are no non-human races in your story's 'verse. Homo neanderthalensis. And yes I am human. Just not the same species of human as you so I'm not going to omit the question.

What do you look like? Like a ginger Neandertal, but clean shaven with cropped hair and modern clothes.

Do you have an SO? No. All the women of my species died 40,000 years ago and Homo sapiens women don't seem find me attractive.

How big is your family? My genetic family died 40,000 years ago so I have no fucking idea. My Homo sapiens family is normal sized.

Have any pets? Not officially, but the fertility doctor who helped clone me... his husband's got 3 ravens and they're like family to me (yes even the ravens). They're more like siblings than pets. No-one else on this entire planet is the same species as me so the ravens are just as much my siblings as anyone else.

What kind of personality to you have? LOL. Dunno. Ask my friends.

SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me. WTF is "SparkNotes"? I had to spend my whole life until recently pretending to be a Homo sapiens with a genetic condition that made my head a weird shape because unauthorised human cloning is illegal and obviously no-one authorised anyone to clone any extinct humans.

I deleted a load of questions 'cause I couldn't be arsed to answer them.

Strengths and weaknesses: Rugby: I'm stronger than anyone else on the pitch, but I'm slow at running. This is why I play front row and I'm not a back. Ice hockey: I'm fast at skating and I hit really hard. I'm not that accurate at shooting, but my slapshot's hard enough that everyone gets the hell out of the way, which makes it easier for the forwards to get it in off the rebound. School: I'm good at PE, quite good at science ('cause my parents are scientists :greenie ) and I totally suck at English lit.

What's your favorite animal, and why? Ravens. Because most people don't realise they're highly intelligent and can talk. I wrote that one in big.

If you were an element, which element would you be? Caesium. Because it explodes on contact with water. I don't explode on contact with water, but I didn't want to choose a boring element. I know Francium's even more reactive but it also doesn't last more than a few microseconds so I didn't want to be that one either. My friend Thor would be Thorium. But Carlium isn't an element. Maybe I should discover one so I can name it that.

Do you have a theme song or leitmotif? WTF is a "lietmotif"?

What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)? WTF is necktie-bacon? If you want to be an total nerd like my friend Chris (he's cool. I don't have anything against nerds...) I'm probably chaotic good. No I'm not going to ask Chris what necktie-bacon is. I think I don't even want to know.

What's your socioeconomic level? We did this shit in geography so I know this word :greenie my mum's a university professor from a working class background and I go to state school. So... lower-middle class?

Do you have any hobbies? Rugby and ice hockey.

What's your blood type? O+ apparently. My mum knew that and my entire genome before I was even born.

Do you have any special skills or talents? Apparently Neandertals have superior grip strength and should be really good at arm wrestling, but whenever I've done arm wrestling with a Homo sapiens guy (yes Thor I'm looking at you!) he just whines that my forearms are too short so he can't get his arm at the right angle to be able to arm wrestle properly. Your species is very good at pathetic excuses.

What's your patience level? LOL. no comment

What's your preferred method of transportation? depends where I'm going, obviously. Sometimes the bus is quicker, other times the tube is quicker. If it's on the 109 bus route then most likely the bus will be quicker.

Which TVTropes best apply to you? dunno WTF that is

What do you smell like? Like a Neandertal. Okay like a Neandertal who wears deodorant because I don't actually live in a cave.

Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not? If you do, what is it? No, because I'd get arrested. Unless you count my ice hockey stick lol, but I don't carry that in the street or anything.

Do you have a catchphrase? Why would I have a catchphrase? Do I look like a fucking game show host?

Where do you live, and why? London. Because my parents work at a London university.

Is there a God? Why should I believe in any Homo sapiens religion? I don't even know what my people's religion was, seeing as stuff like that doesn't fossilise. If someone can tell me what my people's religion was - not just any Neandertals, but whatever the guy they cloned me from believed in - then I might answer this question.

Do you have any pet peeves? Homo sapiens people who ask me stupid questions.

Random fact! Ravens should be fed whole prey every now and then, like a whole rabbit (fur, eyeballs n all), because they need the nutrients. And they go for the soft parts like the eyeballs first.

What's something other people assume about you? That I'm "less evolved" than them or even worse crap like that I'm stupid, talk in grunts, can't even use a laptop, etc. Even though evolution has no direction or end point. But no-one seems to know that.

Do you like your name? Yes. Apart from my middle name, which was top secret until the bloody BBC posted it on their news website.

Can you speak multiple languages? No. I tried to learn French at school but wasn't very good at it so I dropped it after year 9. Bonjour, Je m'appele Carl. J'habite a Londres. Je suis un homme des cavernes. Oh yeah, and I can say something in Latin. Neandertals can talk - quod erat demonstrandum.

Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications? No, but when I'm 18 I'm going to get a tattoo. Dunno what yet but seeing as I have to wait until I'm 18 I have plenty of time to decide. Probably something involving ravens and a Neandertal skull.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not? Seriously, WTF kind of a question is this? I wanted to be me. I am me. I'm being me now. I don't know what job I want to do when I leave school.

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom? No. The only Neandertal women I've ever seen are made of plastic.

How much do you value money? I like it a lot. I'd like more of it but my mum wants me to learn how to budget, etc.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty? How the bloody hell should I know? I don't even know what glass you're talking about.

What's your one big kink? I don't have any. Well, some people will probably think it's kinky that I'm attracted to Homo sapiens women but I was raised by Homo sapiens people and Neandertals are extinct so I dunno what else they would expect.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive? I play defence in ice hockey and front row in rugby. In rugby you have to do attack and defence whatever position you are.

Coke or Pepsi? IrnBru. No wait, D&G Old Jamaica ginger beer. Actually, I don't like any fizzy drinks that much.

Ranch or Italian dressing? WTF? Heinz salad cream

Cats or dogs? Ravens.

Do you have a sworn enemy? Seriously? Where do you get these questions?

How do you feel about love? Tell you what, you find me a girlfriend and I'll let you know.

Are you ticklish? Fuck off.

What's your favorite holiday? Most places we've been too are too hot for me (yes even Britain in the summer) but one time we went on holiday to Norway, right up north in the arctic circle and saw the Northern Lights... so probably that one.

Would you ever kill someone? Not unless they were trying to kill me or someone I care about and it was the only way to stop them.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create? A law to make someone else dictator because I seriously can't be arsed with that shit.

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening? Huh? WTF are you talking about?

Can you do any accents or impressions? Yeah. Geordie. Why aye man. Chris can do loads of accents. His Brummie accent is hilarious.

What is your name?

Jaws.

Jaws.

Do you have a nickname?

For a minute - just a minute - I imagined you were answering on behalf of Peter Benchley's shark (even though the time frame is a wee bit late). I LOLed.

Jason Iollen McCall Nere’ia Terial

How do you pronounce your name?
(Jay son) (Ee Oh len) (Mic Call) (Nir eye) (Tir eye al)

When's your birthday, and how old are you?
July 28[SUP]th[/SUP] and I am eighteen

What's your occupation?
Student, I was at MIT for a year and then after finding out about and going to Atlantis, I’m now a seventh grader (Equivalent)

What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale?
Male and zero

What species are you?
Human

What do you look like?

About 6’2” brown hair, brown eyes, average build, strong jaw, fairly average I think. Never really cared before.

Do you have an SO? If so, Mason D. Wham them for me.
Married: Yes
Age of SO: 18
Sex of SO: Female (seems obvious from previous questions)
Occupation of SO: Student
Name of SO: Milliandra Siiri Nere’ia
Duration of marriage: Actually we were married for about two and a half months before we knew about it. It’s a long story. Fortunately we were dating anyway.
When and How: Well, she watched me literally from the shadows, tried to kill me, I protected her, was terrified of being eaten, and you know how one thing leads to another.
What is the relationship based upon: Mutual admiration, trust, my strengths compliment her weaknesses and her strengths compliment my weaknesses (I got the better deal here I think)

How big is your family?
I have a mother and a father, but since they have never really been part of my life, they don’t even know about Atlantis, So pretty much I have Milliandra.

Have any pets?
Nope. (I think Milliandra might eat them if we did)

What kind of personality to you have?
Usually calm and collected. Hurt my friends and family though, and I will literally destroy your world if I think it’s justified.

SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me.
I wasn’t wanted by my parents and so pretty much raised myself; oh they provided for me, but that was it, they never gave two cents for what I was doing or cared to even be in the same country. I studied hard, graduated high school early and was accepted to MIT before I turned 17. I had the highest scores in university history; well next to my friend, but he turned out to be Atlantean and 176 years old, so I think I win by default. My parents still didn’t care.

Your likes?
I love Milliandra. Hmm, likes: finding new ways to apply fundamental manipulations to everyday problems, trying to best Mil by finding a way to tease her that she doesn’t turn back on me (I fail a lot at this, she has no shame), dealing with bullies in new and inventive ways that usually makes Milliandra burst into laughter, seeing Mil smile. I love Milliandra if you couldn’t tell.

Your dislikes?
When Milliandra gets hurt, bullies, vinegar, crowds, being the center of attention, probably other things, but I don’t really look for things to dislike.

Your strengths?

Highly intelligent, strategic thinker, inventive, eidetic memory.

Your weaknesses?
Lower than average stamina, average physical strength, Milliandra (I will do anything for her, this could be a strength I suppose), lower than average self-worth.

What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
Usually the school uniform. It’s required, even if I am the seal bearer of two houses.

What's your first memory?
My memory is eidetic, so pretty much when I first opened my eyes. Yeah trust me, that can be a bit traumatic.

What's your favorite song, and why?
To be honest, I don’t listen to music. I know, I’m weird.

What's your favorite food, and why?
Chicken Alfredo, I don’t really know outside it tasting awesome.

What's your favorite animal, and why?
The Dragon, because Milliandra’s other polymorphic form is one and she is awesome..

What's your least favorite food, and why?
Anything with vinegar in it. I hate vinegar.

What's your least favorite animal, and why?
Spiders. Anything with that many legs is just wrong.

If you were an element, which element would you be?
Well, I’m a Fire type. So if you are asking for one of the classical elements, I would say fire. Otherwise I would say probably carbon, because it is one of the more versatile elements.

Do you have a theme song or leitmotif?
I don’t really listen to music, so no.

Who's your favorite musical artist?
Hmm, this is going to get repetitious quickly.

Who's your favorite literal artist?
If you mean ‘literary artist’ then I would say, Arthur C. Clarke, because his third law is pretty much how I live now; otherwise I don’t know what you mean by a literal artist.

What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)?
Oddly enough, as much of a geek as I am, I never played. I would guess that I am Lawful and Good. I have no idea what the last one is supposed to mean.

What's your socioeconomic level?
Turns out they do use a monetary type system in Atlantis, so pretty high.

Do you have any hobbies?
Learning, exploring, and seriously, I have the perfect woman as my wife, so I will let you guess.

What's your blood type?
To be honest, I have never had lab work done that I know of, so I have no idea.

Do you have any special skills or talents?

Using my controller, I can open portals between any two points, I can alter the base frequency of anything around me, I can unweave the structure of an atom to form other things or even to cause some impressive explosions, things like that.

What's your patience level?
Fairly high most of the time.

What's your preferred method of transportation?
Portal

Which TVTropes best apply to you?
I never watched much TV, so maybe the outsider, the geek, I really don’t know.

What do you smell like?
I’m a guy, so uh, I suppose a guy?

Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not? If you do, what is it?
Well, it’s not technically a weapon, but I have my controller which is a ring on my finger. I can do things with it that would be deadly, but it’s as much of a weapon as an axe or a hammer are. Any other actual weapon would pale in comparison so . . . I don’t know how exactly to answer this.

Do you have a catchphrase?
What? Is this a novel? Am I a Saturday morning cartoon? Seriously? Why would I have a catchphrase?

Where do you live, and why?
Mil and I live in our house in Nere’ia territory in the sunken country of Atlantis. It’s our house, so why not?

Do you have any fears or phobias?
I am terrified of losing Milliandra. She was hunted for a while, but I am still afraid of something happening to her. Oh, and spiders, I hate spiders.

Is there a God?
Yes.

Do you have any pet peeves?
People who prey on others because they think they can, stupid people (Those who choose to be ignorant), and . . . no I think that’s it.

Random fact!
Ancient mythological god’s were actually Atlanteans. Clarke’s third law at work I suppose.

What's something other people assume about you?
That I might kill them accidently with a stay thought. It’s something that comes with being a Terial, but it’s completely unfounded; I have never killed anyone on accident.

Do you like your name?
Sure. Some started calling me and our team ‘Jason and the Argonauts’ during the Grand Games, so it’s kind of cool. Although I didn’t like being the name sake for that, so I don’t know. Also the added two house names make my name a mouth full, so . . .

Do you have any nervous habits or ticks?
I have taken to looking at shadows. When one’s wife could be in any of them, it’s more of a precaution than a tick.

Can you speak multiple languages?
My controller auto translates from all know human languages as well as those of the nine worlds, so yes and no.

Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications?
I can’t seem to remove the ring, so there’s that, but not an actual body mod; No.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry?
Hmm, I seem to have answered that already. My ring, that’s it.

Are you addicted to anything?
Heh, I think you should be seeing a theme here. There is this girl, so yeah.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not?
I wanted to be an astrophysicist.
No, not really.
I am married to a polymorphic Dragon living in the most advanced society on ten worlds; it seems kind of old hack at this point.

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
No. I was ready to die to save Milliandra once, but not actual suicide, No.

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom?
Oh hell yeah. About a month ago and it was with Milliandra. Seriously, my parents never even kissed my cheek. I might have been a bit messed up.

How much do you value money?
I don’t even need to consider it anymore, so I don’t.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
Hmm, I bet I can find a way to make the glass completely full, so . . . just give me a minute.

What's your one big kink?
Bright yellow reptilian eyes; Mil has awesome eyes. Hmm, she also has a great butt, awesome breasts, a brilliant mind, crap she is way too good for me. . . . uh, sorry, I don’t have one.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive?
I’m a fire type, so definitely aggressive. I see what needs done, and I get it done.

Coke or Pepsi?
Pepsi

Ranch or Italian dressing?
Ranch, though I’m more of a vicarious vegetarian; I eat what eats salad.

Cats or dogs?
Dog’s, but I think Mil would eat it faster, so maybe cats.

Do you have a sworn enemy?
Not anymore. It’s a really bad idea to hurt people I care about.

How do you feel about love?
Really? This is just redundant at this point.

What's your favorite memory?
Did I mention I was married to the most beautiful woman I can imagine? I’ll let you guess.

Are you ticklish?
Hmm, I honestly don’t know.

What's your outlook on life?
I’m probably going to live at least a thousand years, so, pretty damn good.

Do you play any instruments or sing?
Never tried, so no. but to be honest, I doubt I would have the talent for it. Wish I could though.

What's your favorite holiday?
There aren’t really any holidays in Atlantis, and before that, well . . . none really.

If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
I would say I’m good now. Maybe be less of a public figure, that would be nice.

Would you ever kill someone?
Yes. The first person I killed was a soldier who was after Mil, and thought he could sneak up on me. Enough atoms detonating inside a person’s head has a significant impact on their life expectancy.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
Don’t elect people dictator of the universe, seriously, when does that ever go well?

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
I would say apparently, except I have order and sanity still. So . . .

Can you do any accents or impressions?
Yes, I’m fairly good at accents, but the people I hang out with anymore, wouldn’t get it. Well maybe Tesla, but I think he might be a bit nuts, so . . .

What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced?
Seeing Milliandra nailed to a wall with her hands and feet cut off, nearly dead. I had never torn a man’s heart out of his chest before that.

Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?
That’s an interesting question, If you take into account Clarke’s third law, then one could say yes.

Do you stand up for what you believe in?
Vehemently.

What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?
To lie and cheat show a supreme lack of ingenuity. Steal only to survive if absolutely needed. Kill only when absolutely necessary. As for the etc.; if you know who you are and are happy with whom you’ve become, why care what others think of you?

And this one is for my Female lead. (I really like her)

What is your name?
Milliandra Siiri Nere’ia

How do you pronounce your name?
(Mill ee on dru) (sear ee) (Nir eye)

Do you have a nickname?
My husband calls me Mil, everyone else calls me Lady Nere’ia (I think they’re afraid of Jase, I love it)

When's your birthday, and how old are you?
July 28[SUP]th[/SUP] and I am eighteen

What's your occupation?
Student

What's your sex and position on the Kinsey scale?
Female and zero

What species are you?
Mi’ather’ian

What do you look like?

About 5’7” Silver hair, yellow eyes with slits for pupils, Jason described me as having ample perfect breasts; I liked that. I think he was trying to embarrass me, but I liked it.

Do you have an SO? If so, Mason D. Wham them for me.
Married: Yes
Age of SO: 18
Sex of SO: Male
Occupation of SO: Student
Name of SO: Jason Iollen McCall Nere’ia Terial
Duration of marriage: So it turns out that we were married for about two and half months before we found out that we were. I guess I move faster than him as I was more excited than shocked. He seemed happy, but worried about what I might think; I showed him what I thought right then and there. It was amazing.
When and How: So I kind of met him before he met me. My protector and, well, kind of big brother’ish person Ke’ennen was his roommate and so I got to know him even though he didn’t know I was there. I almost killed him on accident, and then when I thought he had stolen Kea’s ring, I actually tried to kill him to get it back. I really felt bad when I found out what had actually happened; then even with that, he was always being nice to me and even offered me several places to live. He was such a great guy and I was such a freld to him; I don’t know why he was nice to me, I didn’t deserve it.
What is the relationship based upon: Love. I love him so much. He is everything I am not. He says I am exactly what he needs and wants, but to be honest, I get WAY more out of this relationship than he does. I hope he doesn’t realize it and come to resent it, I couldn’t stand to lose him.

How big is your family?
I only have Jase. My mother and father were killed by my uncle when I was ten, and recently my uncle died because he attacked me. Jason didn’t respond kindly to that.

Have any pets?
I’ve never had pets before. Do they taste good?

What kind of personality to you have?
I think I’m a bit mischievous, but I think Jason likes that about me. He tries to tease me, but even though I get kind of embarrassed, I play along because I think he really likes it when I do. I really like to see Jase take on the bullies, it’s so much fun. I am also very honest with myself and others; I don’t like lies. I tend to be pretty straight forward.

SparkNotes your life prior to Page One for me.
Well, I was the princess of the world of Agaeteria and my dad and mom were the king and queen. We had a pretty nice life; things were really good for us. My mom and dad were really good people, but my uncle organized a coup and killed them. A friend of the family and the only Atlantean I had ever met was visiting at the time and he saved me and brought me back to Atlantis.

Your likes?
I really, really, love Jason. So that’s first. I like playing jokes on people; but not ones that actually hurt them. I like to learn new ways of using my controller. I like how Jason describes me when he’s using his sense. I really like watching Jason’s matches in the Grand Games; he always does the wildest things.

Your dislikes?
I don’t like bullies, being alone, not being strong enough to defend myself and those I care about, being afraid, being an outcast.

Your strengths?

I am very strong do to the class of Mi’ather’ian that I am, I can learn quickly, my stamina is very high, I can regenerate as long as I have the energy to do so since I’m a Polymorph.

Your weaknesses?
I am afraid of being truly alone. I’m not really the academic type: I’m getting better though, Jason is helping me with that. I tend to shy away from fights; especially with Atlanteans.

What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
My school uniform. Unless I’m going to bed, then my pajamas.

What's your first memory?
My first memory is being held by my mom and dad. They were such great parents, I miss them so much.

What's your favorite song, and why?
Rebels of the Sacred heart, by Flogging Molly.

What's your favorite food, and why?
Bacon, eggs, and toast. It was the first thing Jason made for me after I moved in with him when I was kicked out of my place because I wasn’t Atlantean.

What's your favorite animal, and why?
A Human. Not to eat, right? Okay, yeah, Human; because Jason is a human.

What's your least favorite food, and why?
Cats. Something about their hair really doesn’t agree with me.

What's your least favorite animal, and why?
Um, Cats. It’s the hair; it always gets caught in my teeth and throat.

If you were an element, which element would you be?
Wind. I’m a wind type. Oh, did you mean the periodic table? Um, Oxygen then. I can support a fire type and so I'm needed.

Do you have a theme song or leitmotif?
No.

Who's your favorite musical artist?
Well, it would kind of make sense for it to be Flogging Molly if it can be a band.

Who's your favorite literal artist?
I don’t think I understand the question. Do you mean as opposed to a fake artist? Or a figurative artist?

What's your D&D alignment (lawful-chaotic, good-evil, necktie-bacon)?
What’s D&D? but as for the options, I think I am a law abiding person but I can be pretty chaotic, so both? Definitely good though, I don’t like bad people. A necktie you wear and bacon you eat, um I guess a necktie . . . but only if Jason is wearing me . . . Oh, no not . . . oh god.

What's your socioeconomic level?
I have never wanted for anything so, higher, I think.

Do you have any hobbies?
Training, Exploring, learning about new things, star gazing, reading books, and things . . . um, with Jason.

What's your blood type?
I don’t know.

Do you have any special skills or talents?

I’m a wind type so the things I do with my controller are unique to me since I’m the only wind type there is. My other form is a fifty meter tall seventy ton shadow dragon. I can inhabit any shadow as well.

What's your patience level?
I could probably work on that . . . a lot.

What's your preferred method of transportation?
Portal; Jason’s. I mean the normal one’s are fine, but Jason’s are so much more convenient.

Which TVTropes best apply to you?
I don’t know, I never watched TV before.

What do you smell like?
Like the wind after a lightning storm.

Do you carry a weapon? Why or why not? If you do, what is it?
No. I don’t need to. Well, I guess the controller could be a weapon, but it’s more of a universal tool, so No.

Do you have a catchphrase?
Why would I? Is that something Humans do? I’ve never heard Jason say something before a match or anything like that. Although he does say “What now?” a lot when he is surprised or confused; is that what you mean?

Where do you live, and why?
Jase and I live in our house. Because it’s our house.

Do you have any fears or phobias?
I’m scared that I might lose Jase one day. I think I would die if I did. I am terrified of Atlanteans; but that’s normal I think, everyone from the nine worlds is. Jase can’t seem to understand it, but he wouldn’t, he’s insanely strong.

Is there a God?
Yes.

Do you have any pet peeves?
Jason is sometimes so focused on what he’s doing that he doesn’t consider the danger to himself. That annoys me.

Random fact!
A Mi’ather’ian does not actually die of old age. We live until we are either killed or drain our heart of too much energy.

What's something other people assume about you?
I don’t really know what most people assume about me, I think Jason assumes I am as strong emotionally as I am physically. He obviously assumes I could survive just as well by myself as he can.

Do you like your name?
Milliandra was the name given to me by my parents, so yes, I love it. Siiri was my family house, so yes. Nere’ia was the house name that Jase gave me when we were married, so yes. Then I guess that would be a definite yes.

Do you have any nervous habits or ticks?
I tend to make jokes when I’m nervous.

Can you speak multiple languages?
Yes, several; and for any language that I don’t know, I have my controller.

Do you have any piercings, tattoos, or body modifications?
No.

Do you wear any kind of jewelry?
Yes. I have my controller on the back of my hand and the ring Jason made for me; it’s a white diamond with three silver spirals inside it.

Are you addicted to anything?
Well, Jase and I . . . uh, well . . . No, I’m going to say no.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that what you're doing now? Why or why not?
Want to be? I guess I expected to be Queen eventually.
No.
I renounced the thrown after my people killed my uncle in response to his trying to kill me and thus starting a war with my husband.

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?
No. I think I would just die if something happened to Jason, but it wouldn’t be suicide.

Have you had your first kiss? If so, when and with whom?
Yes. I think I was probably just born when my mom first kissed me . . . Oh, you mean from a man . . .Oh, um, well yes. It was thirty two days ago with Jason when he finally asked me out. Oh it was amazing . . .

How much do you value money?
I don’t.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
What glass? What are you talking about?

What's your one big kink?
A Human. God, Jason is so . . . um, human . . . in areas . . . Oh God, never mind.

Are you passive, aggressive, or defensive?
Defensive. But that goes with being a wind type, so it makes sense.

Coke or Pepsi?
I haven’t had that.

Ranch or Italian dressing?
Ranch sounds like it would have cows, so Ranch; I like the taste of cows.

Cats or dogs?
Dog’s taste better.

Do you have a sworn enemy?
Nope. Jason took care of that . . . well kind of. Either way, No; not any more.

How do you feel about love?
Oh, god; it’s amazing. Oh, you mean the emotion? . . . Yes it’s amazing, that’s what I was talking about too. I can’t imagine not being in love with Jason.

What's your favorite memory?
I have a couple, I think. In chronological order, there was when Jason made me a part of his house; then when he made me . . . well, when we found out we were married, that was amazing.

Are you ticklish?
I am, and Jason knows it.

What's your outlook on life?
I don’t think I could be happier.

Do you play any instruments or sing?
I can sing, but I have never tried to play an instrument.

What's your favorite holiday?
I have never had one. I heard about them when I was with Kea on the surface, but Jason never seemed particularly happy about any of them, so I don’t think they are something people really like.

If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be?
I wish I could make Jason not feel bad about what happened to me. I keep telling him that I’m okay, but I think it still bothers him that he couldn’t make it in time.

Would you ever kill someone?
Yes. I have. I don’t like too, but I would kill everyone to protect Jase.

You have been elected Dictator of the Universe. What's the first law you create?
I don’t know, it would have to be a law people would actually follow. What could that possibly be? People who are going to break a law would just be benefited by people who follow it, that seems wrong, so maybe that people should stop making those kinds of laws.

Would you be willing to sacrifice order and sanity to live in a crazy fantasy world where anything is possible, or would you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening?
Which do I live in now? I like whatever one I am in now, so I would keep it this way.

Can you do any accents or impressions?
Not really. I don’t think I’ve ever really tried.

What was the most traumatic thing you've ever experienced?
I was nailed to a wall, my hands and feet were cut off, my friend was executed in front of me, and then the energy was drained from my heart as a form of capital punishment. But don’t tell Jason I said that. It would be really bad if he found out I felt that way; he already blames himself. So I go with my other one, and that was watching the castle be destroyed when I was ten, knowing my parents were inside.

Are you involved with magic or witchcraft?
No; although my people would say yes. They’re kind of ignorant though.

Do you stand up for what you believe in?
I try to. It’s easier to do when Jason is on my side. Although if I see a path that he is on is wrong, I can help get him going on the right one; so I guess, yes then.

What are your views on lying, cheating, stealing, killing, et cetera?
I hate liars, and cheaters. They aren't even honest with themselves. Stealing shouldn’t ever be necessary, but I suppose in the reality we live in, it sometimes could be to survive. I don’t like to kill, but again, sometimes it is necessary to survive. I don’t know why people can’t just be nice to people who aren’t a threat to them.
