Yeah two paragraphs is really shitty considering that I haven't posted in a month, but there it is. To be honest, I kinda thought Beacon had died. Activity has slowed to a crawl.

That seemes like a fun idea. If you don't mind, I'll do one with Ferris. And I'm bored too.
An Interview with Ferris
Question 1 What is your favorite food? “Ambrosia, Necter of the gods, Liquid Nirvana, otherwise known by commoners as Coffee. Yes. It is food. It is also all I need to live.”
Question 2 What is your favorite color? “Red! The blood of my enemies! *cough* Er...Green, I suppose.”
Question 3 Do you have anything you enjoy watching the most on TV? “I'd much rather read a good book, but if I had to choose...I'd watch crime shows.”
“...what? They are entertaining, and educational.”
Question 4 What scares you easily? “Nothing.”
["Lier."]
"Hush up, you."
["Honest Answers only."]
"Bees, stinging insects. I hate 'em."
["Now was that so hard?"]
"About as hard as the wall I'm about to introduce your face to."
Question 5 Any specialties aside from the ol’-fashioned fighting? “I consider myself a man of many talents. I can cook, draw, write poetry, play music, act, build, metalwork, program, or engineer. Anything you need done.”
“...although whether I can do these thing well or not is up for debate.”
Question 6 Who do you consider closest with you as of now? “...uh...er...” *mumbles incoherently* “a...s-sister...””
Question 7 Who would you like to get closer to in your team? *woodenly*“Of course I would like to get closer to all my teammates. It is my duty as their leader.”
*Interviewer gives Ferris a skeptical look*
*Ferris returns with a mind-your-own-damn-business look*
Question 8 Who would you like to get closer to outside your team the most?
*Ferris shrugs*
["Come on, you have to give us more then that. We have our ratings to think of."]
“Bah, fine. I did see this cute little red-haired lass on the campus once. Happy?”
["Who are you, Charlie Brown?"]
["Who?"]
["Nevermind."]
Question 9 Any nicknames from your childhood?
“Oh yeah. Oh hell yeah. My half-brother has this annoying tendency to come up with a nickname for everyone, most of the time, more then one. Old Iron, Bubbles, Bookmark, Bookworm, A.S.W. (long story, don't ask), and his personal favorite: Weiser. It means "wise" but maybe it could be closer to "wise one", and he usually called me that after I did something stupid, or mouthed off.”
“...I wish he was here right now so I could punch him.”
Question 10 Do you have a crush on anyone?! “Well, when I was young, there was this little red haired las-”
["Next!"]
Question 11 Do you have any secrets you can share to those you won't tell for a long time? “I...never...” “Bah, why the hell am I even talking to you?”
["Please. Sometimes sharing painful, embarrassing, or scary secrets can help."]
["What are you, a psychiatrist as well as a reporter?"]
["..."]
"...I've never had anyone to call my friend before.
["What?"]
"I said I still have nightmares about the day my parents died. It was in an aircraft crash. That is how I ended up with my, ah, spare parts."
*waves Gauntlet*
Question 12 Is there anyone you wish to see right now? “Yes. You gone.”
It's a good way to keep things active without going through all the trouble of a contest
Might as well be a contest? But in any event, it was fun to make!
Question 1 What is your favorite food? "Anything that ain't to... exotic I guess.
Question 2 What is your favorite color? "Lavender. The plant itself has a very calming scent don't cha' know?"
Question 3 Do you have anything you enjoy watching the most on TV? "I'd say either Comedy skits or The News. Every other channel we got were weird soap operas."
Question 4 What scares you easily?
*Charon's face turns dark*
["Take your time."]
*Charon leans forward over the table, giving the interviewer a hard look*
"The thought of having to take the life of another man or Faunus... especially if I'm ordered to. I'll steel myself when the day comes, but i'll be terrified all the same."
[*Clears throat* I see, perhaps we should move on to the next question?"]
*Charon nods*
Question 5 Any specialties aside from the ol’-fashioned fighting? "Hmmm... Not real sure actually."
["Oh come now, everyone is good at something"]
"Eh... Climbing I guess? It took me a while to get used heights, but when your drill Sargent gives you an order, you best' do it quickly. Boot Camp was rough I'd say, but at least it was just simple stuff for being certified to be part of the Town watch. Now REAL boot camp, like the ones them Soldiers go to, that is REAL hell. And then you have Special forces..."
["Ahem, lets stay on track here please."]
"Oh sorry, I kinda got carried away there."
["Noted. Next question."]
Question 6 Who do you consider closest with you as of now? "I still try to keep in touch with one of my friends from both school and boot camp who went off to be pilot. Turned out to be a Cargo Pilot for the Atlanian Military. One time he gave me a lift to Mantle from my home town as a sort of favor, but we got into a ton of trouble once his NCO found out, whooo boy.
Now the reason my friend did this favor for me, is because he was supposed to be running maintenance of his craft all of that day, but he was so good at fixing his VTOL he got it done by noon, so he had the rest of the day off basically. Once my friend explained it all, The NCO was at least impressed and let him of with a warning to "not use military hardware for non-military purposes". My friend remarked his NCO as a "hardass" and we had a good laugh about it."
["What was his name?"]
"Jared."
Question 7 Who would you like to get closer to in your team? "Hmmm... can I say both?"
["I'd prefer one person, please."]
"Tough break, eh? Fine. Well... Andromeda is pretty talkative herself, so she's pretty easy to talk to and incredibly easy to listen to, but my team leader on the other hand... Well, he just seems too reserved. Like I'm pretty bad at starting conversations with people, but trying to talk to him is like talking to a wall: we say a few things and silence ensues. I don't know what else to say and well... I feel I hardly know the guy, our team leader, at all sometimes. But that isn't gonna stop me from trying! I'm gonna make him feel more than just a team leader, but as a friend too! I mean a group of random people that are assigned into a team can work, but a team of people that trust one another? They'd be unstoppable."
["Quite a speech."]
"Eh heh, excuse me. I can get passionate about some things I guess."
["Duly Noted."]
Question 8 Who would you like to get closer to outside your team the most?
"I don't really know anyone outside Andromeda and Ferris. Uh... the Professors perhaps? They seem alright, and I get along well with people that have authority over me. *mumbles* something you have to get used to when working with Atlas Military"
["What was that?"]
"Oh nothing."
Question 9 Any nicknames from your childhood?
"None. And I'm glad I never had one."
Question 10 Do you have a crush on anyone?!
"When I was young and naive probably. But as of right now? No."
Question 11 Do you have any secrets you can share to those you won't tell for a long time?
"..."
["You can always say no comment if you really don't-"]
"No no, I'll answer." *Sighs* "When I was in the town watch, nothing really happened in our dust mining town other than the occasional Grimm attack. But, fate doesn't always work that way, you see? One night, we got a tip from a couple bounty hunters they were looking for a Faunus who was on the run from authorities. He was a blacklisted individual who was trying to get back at the government sort of deal. Hurt a couple people at a dust mine with an improvised bomb that buried 3 people, and trapped 14. At first, I thought he was some sort of killer, you know, "The Bad Guy"."
"I was on patrol the next night, and I saw a man in an argument with a cargo trucker; I motioned to my partner and we went over to ask what was going on. Turned out, it was not a man, but the Faunus we were looking for trying to bribe a cargo trucker to getting him to mantle, and he grabbed the trucker and pulled a gun out and put it under his chin. We pulled our guns out and we all froze for a few long seconds. I eventually spoke up, telling the fugitive to let the man go, and told him this doesn't have to end with anyone being hurt. Well, he obliged, sort of, as he threw the man to the ground and shot my partner in the left arm and ran. I checked on partner to make sure he was ok, but he told me to chase the guy otherwise he'd get away."
"I ran after him, calling for backup over my radio as we ran to the west part of town. He eventually ran into an alley that led to a dead end, and when I caught up with him, he tried to shoot me, and I..." *Charon paused, his face twisted in despair."
"...I killed him instantly. A single shot through his head. I... I... didn't even take a moment to aim for something less vital, like his leg or something. For a brief moment I didn't know what to do. I was supposed to radio in that I fired my weapon on the fugitive, but I was so shaken that I was just paralyzed. I eventually got myself together, and radioed it in. I didn't sleep that night."
"The next morning, I was called in to do a review of what happened. I told my side of the story and they deducted that if I didn't shoot him, he could've killed me. I guess they were right, but inside I felt like I could've done something else. They had me airlifted to Mantle to get a physiological review and I was marked 'unfit for active duty until further notice'. I quit anyways; that was 2 years ago. They allowed me to stay at least in reserve in the case of a Grimm attack."
["I'm sorry what happened to you."]
"Well, at least that's when my aura awakened. Found that out a couple months ago, when I was trying to apply to a college in Atlas, they found out my aura was active and recommended that I looked into being a Hunter instead of some robotics expert like my Mother.
"Anyways, does that answer this question?"
["More than it needed to."]
Question 12 Is there anyone you wish to see right now?
"Either my Mother or my older sister. They've always helped me get through tough times, even if I didn't ask for it. Maybe even my Dad too, if he was still around, as he probably would have had a lot to tell me about traumatic events. He was in the Atlas Army."
