Character Interview Questions

[LuckyBlackCat]

Hey, so I've seen stuff like this on a few other sites, and figured it'd be fun to do here. Basically one person posts a question, and the next poster answers it as their RP character, submitting a question for the next person and so on. Feel free to answer multiple questions if you want, just please acknowledge the last poster by responding to theirs!

Anyway, I'll start off with:

- What do you like to do for fun?

[Crimson Flame]

- What do you like to do for fun?

@LuckyBlackCat

André Bellamy

I like all kinds of activities mon ami. But my favorite thing is to go shopping! Beautiful clothes, expensive jewelry, cute dolls, gifts for friends. Je l'aime! Even if you are not buying anything, window shopping is fun too. Of course, I do not the problem of not having enough money to buy anything.

What qualities do you like in a person?

[LuckyBlackCat]

What qualities do you like in a person?

@Crimson Flame

Hotaru Ukiko, Urban Starlight Wonderland (ghost themed magical girl)

I value bravery and loyalty. If you're talking about the kind of person I like as a friend, someone with a sense of fun and adventure! And, if they're in the know about the whole magic thing, someone who doesn't mind the occasional friendly prank. Hey, when you're a magical girl who can turn invisible and pass through stuff, it's kinda tempting. Too bad magical girls can sense each other, but who knows, maybe I can learn to hide my presence... *mischievous grin*

- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

[BangoSkank]

Malva, Halfling Adventurer

- What do you like to do for fun?
Draw, maps or scenery or animals or flowers. Mostly maps, but I want to see everything and show it to everyone.

- What qualities do you like in a person?
Talkative. I'd rather not get along with someone and argue all day and night than sit about in silence twiddling my fingers.

- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I was braver and bigger. Being small sucks, everyone underestimates you. Being scared of everything sucks too. I just want to be brave. I want to not be afraid.

- What is your favorite food, and why?
Shepherd's Pie. Simple. Filling. Delicious. Good hot or cold. Reminds me of home.

- Who's had the biggest influence on your life?
My mother and my brother. My mother was a great adventurer and always had stories to tell us. My brother left town after our father was killed and became a legendary hero. Maybe you've heard of him?

- What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?
I'm trying to trace the steps of my brother's adventures and write a book about it. I guess all my mom's bravery went in to my brother. I don't have the guts in the family, but I want to do something.

-How do you feel about your family?
Immense pride and a little intimidation. I want to follow in their footsteps but I'm always scared.

-What's your Pet Peeve?
Being under-estimated because of my size, or because I'm a woman. Shit talkers who get shocked and turtle up when the wee little Halfling Girl starts talking back.

- If you could go anywhere, where would you go?
Wherever my brother is. So I can hear his story first hand and bring him back home.

- When do you do your best work? Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Both. I'm really lucky right now. In the morning I get to get all my energy out. Helping man the ship, running around keeping everything running, talking with the men, and then in the evenings right when my energy starts to give out I just update numbers on all the ship logs and then have my time to draw and write. I'm usually asleep before too late, but I enjoy my mornings and my nights.

- Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?
The Captain, I guess. The whole crew really. They have always done right by me and taught me an awful lot. I came in a scared little Halfling with no particular practical skills and now...well...I'm still a scared little Halfling but I've learned a lot. Don't let folks talk shit about pirates. They're not all all that bad.

- After a stressful day, what calms you down?
Work actually. I keep track of the logistics onboard. It took me awhile to get a hold on it, but it's just keeping track of inventory and money. I gotta pay attention to it but it's very objective. I make sure all the numbers add up and by the time I'm done with that I'm calm, quiet, and ready to settle down for the night.

- What is your favorite animal?
This is probably a goofy answer, but seagulls. They mean we're close to shore again, which means we've made it safely once again. It also means I can explore around. Talk to new folks. Draw them. Unload our cargo. And then eventually when it's time to ship out again they're there to see us off. I love the littler fuckers.

- What are your hobbies?
Writing and drawing. At first I though of sailing and everything that goes with it as my hobbies, but these days that's just my life. It's how I make a living. Drawing the people and plants and animals I've seen, or the landscapes. Writing about my adventures and what I've learned of my brother's adventures. Making maps too. I've gotten really hard into making maps. Have you seen The Captain's? They're goregous. Oh my god they're beautiful.

- If you suddenly came into a lot of money, what would you spend it on?
That's a really hard question for me. It's kind of weird now that I think about it. I'm not really motivated by money. I want to see the world. I want to record my brother's adventures and meet up with him and bring him home to Mom. I want the Captain and Crew to do well. I guess I'd talk to The Captain about investing in the ship? Maybe become a partner. That's a really hard question.

- How much time to do have left to live?
A lot, I hope. I feel like there's still a lot I want to do and see.

- What is your favorite scent?
Probably home, like back home home. But I haven't been around that in a long time. My favorite scent that I actually smell regularly is probably the ship and the ocean. It's sort of an accumulation of things. Probably some things I don't want to think about or know, but it's got a definite unique scent to it. I guess that's home too, just not home home.

What is your favorite song?
An old shanty called "Leave Her Johnny." It gets me right in my feelings every time you know? You're on the ship with all your mates. Pulling out to sea. Maybe never to come back. If you'd made a connection...or two in town you may well see him, or her, again. Right in the feels. Every time. Almost hate it it gets me so good, but I love it.

@BangoSkank

Prince Sky Sparkledust, Prince of Fairyland

Ooh, I reeeeally want to go see the underwater Mer kingdom. I hear it’s just as colorful as Fairyland! The buildings are made from coral, and they’ve got a castle made of pearl! There are cute fishies everywhere. I also heard the merpeople are just as beautiful as us fairies! It’s not as great as Fairyland of course, buuut I still want to see it.

Wilben Felpip Oventamer, gnome pâtissier [x]:

"Do you even need to ask? Bread, you simpleton, bread! It is malleable, but staple and hardy. Simple, and yet complex. A perfect base, compliment, and in the hands of a master like me? A main dish on it's own! Bread is life itself."

- When do you do your best work? In other words are you an early bird or a night owl?

- When do you do your best work? In other words are you an early bird or a night owl?

@Yankee

Karya of Brackenglade, Hoseforn's Academy (wood nymph ranger/druid)

Mornings all the way! Admittedly we've got to be careful around dawn and dusk, since that's when a lot of dangerous animals are out and about. But there's nothing quite like working on a carpentry or whittling project early in the day, as the sun filters through the trees, and getting as much done as possible by evening. Gotta make the most of each day, you never know how many you've got left after all.

Tybert Palug, Hoseforn's Academy (grimalkin warrior-in-training, a grimalkin is a humanoid with cat traits)

Afternoon to night. Being at Hoseforn's is so gods-damn jarring, for several reasons, one of them being everything happens so ridiculously early! I get that several races are active earlier in the day than us grimalkin, we're semi-nocturnal. And I get that discipline is important, I grew up in a military family after all. But still, does everything have to kick off full speed as soon as the sun's up? Ugh.

- Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

[Dark Cloud]

- Who's had the biggest influence on your life

Armarion, the Faceless. God of Secrets and Magic (When The Gods Fell)
"I might have said years ago, that I was my own influence however that is naught but a blatant lie. My brother Amos, in truth is and always will be."

- What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

[BangoSkank]

This is a great thread. Great way to develop a character when you're just forming it in your brain, answer all these questions

[Crimson Flame]

- What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

@Dark Cloud

George Pendragon III

My goal in life is to be a Dragon Master! Just like my dad and grandpa. In fact I don’t want to be just like them, I want to be better them. When you hear the name George Pendragon, I’m the one the you think of first. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be the most badass Dragon Tamer ever! RAWWWWWWWWWR!

How do you feel about your family?

[BangoSkank]

Gorthog gro-Bhizra, Half Orc Professional Face Puncher

-What do you like to do for fun?
Train. Travel. Drink. Eat. Other thing monastery say Gorthog not do but Gorthog still do.

-How do you feel about your family?
Monastery raise Gorthog. Very proud. Teach Gorthog channel anger. Teach Gorthog see nature more and city less. Make proud. Come back.

-What's your Pet Peeve?
Magic people. Hurt Gorthog many time before Gorthog punch. When Gorthog punch them fall fast. Very disappoint.

@BangoSkank Thanks! Glad you're finding it helpful :)

- What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

@Dark Cloud

Oriana Lindberg, Pokemon Rust

Exploring the world! Seeing it for myself, instead of just hearing about it in stories, and meeting the dragon who created the Kaida region! I can't wait! Afterwards I may travel to other regions, or become a field researcher. It's already amazing to have this much freedom! I thought I'd be cooped up at home or in my parents' store forever. They say being a trainer in Kaida isn't worth the risk, but they've got nothing to worry about, I'll do just fine!

- How do you feel about your family?

@Crimson Flame

Ehh. They have my best interests at heart I guess, and I love them, but do they have to be such sticks in the mud? If I stayed stuck in Dullsville just cos they thought it was safer or whatever, I swear I'd lose my freaking mind!

- Do you have any noteworthy allies or enemies?

@BangoSkank

Yes!! I sure have a noteworthy ally and rival! None other than George Pendragon the Third! If you don't know who he is, he's from a long line of dragon trainers, so he's gotta be pretty formidable himself! I'm all for some friendly competition, and the tougher the better!

- What's your pet peeve?

(Edit: Oooops! Bango, I was typing up this post just as you replied, so didn't see your question. Anyway, edited more answers in!)

[Dark Cloud]

I like this thread cause it gives me a reason to write old characters thoughts.

@LuckyBlackCat

André Bellamy

People who do not put any effort to take care of their appearance. Some people walk around like they rolled out of bed, and got dressed in the dark. C'est déplorable! You do not have to be a movie star like me to make yourself look good. First impressions are everything, and a little effort goes a long way.

After a stressful day, what calms you down?

(I just pick whichever character would have an interesting answer.)

Eri Inazuma, Alien Heiress

A night flight, I feel free during my daily night flights. When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression most of the time.

Tim Wolfe, Pokémon Breeder

Um… D-d-do you consider Pokémon Animals? Gosh, there are so many wonderful species! I like Rockruff of course. He’s my first Pokémon, and my most loyal friend! But then Togepi is really cute, Gallade is really cool, Gardevoir is beautiful, Altaria is warm and fuzzy, Golisopod is a badass, Gyrados are really friendly once you get to know them, and I don’t care what anyone says, Garbodor are actually really cuddly. And don’t get me started on Arcanine…

Questions answered by: Asmoday (The God Of The Underworld) & His Five Sons.

What do you like to do for fun?

Asmoday: Ah-ha! Now that’s a tremendous question! You should be greatly rewarded for your curiosity, and desire to know more about me. Well…it’s war. War for any reason at all. The more casualties, the better. So long as I get to fight on the front lines…

What qualities do you like in a person?

Lokotos: Like people!?! What the hell is there to like about people!?! Stupid miserable cowards, the lot of them are. And you’d have to be weak and foolish yourself—to even consider that worth pondering…what? Answer the question? Egh. Fine! I like mortals who lack qualities…and a pulse.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Thryce: Hmm…I don’t wish to speak out against my father’s will. But…I suppose my appearance is considered—frightening—to those I intend to help. So, if it was possible to be—more human—I’d…I’d change that…even if I’d lose my brothers’ respect in the process. Besides, a body is simply a means to achieving my goals...

If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

Ebiinate: Do you seek escape from your suffering? Come. Take my hand and we’ll go somewhere. Wherever your mind can be put at ease. Hmm…? Where would I go…? I…I’ve gone everywhere before. So it all feels the same to me. Just another destination, is it not?

What is your favorite food, and why?

Krawle: Ehehehaha. Feed. Feed Feed Feed Feed Feed Feed. HAHAHA! Don’t recall!

When do you do your best work? In other words, are you an early bird or a night owl?

Rytram: A night owl. I…I can barely sleep as it is anymore. Though…my work isn’t something that I often trouble myself with anyway. Not since...nevermind. Was that—all you wanted to know?

Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

Lokotos: Ugh! I suppose my father has given me my true purpose in life. Much as he’s faltering as of late. But I’m not my father! So be sure to remember that!

What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

Thryce: I offer retribution for the victims of society. For I am, but an entity who gives those who feel wronged, another chance to make it right. To hold those responsible—down onto their knees—and let the oppressed wield their penance…

How do you feel about your family?

Ebiinate: I don’t feel too strongly one way or another. Though Rytram is…different from the rest of our family. I suppose you could even say that—he interests me.

Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

Krawle: *points to reader and approaches* Hehehehaha…

What's your pet peeve?

Rytram: My father and his obsession to be in my life—is certainly among them…

After a stressful day, what calms you down?

Asmoday: Alcohol, ofcourse! Red wine is the best way to unwind, after all…

What is your favorite animal?

Asmoday: Oh no. I’m much more of a people person, you see. Animals basically serve little purpose, other than to be eaten. Maybe Rytram, Ho-ho-ho! Just kidding. Don’t tell the others, but he’s my favorite son! Ha-ha! Or…is that just the alcohol talking again?

What are your hobbies?

Asmoday: Aside from fighting wars and ruling over the dead, you mean? Well sure! I have plenty of other interests, thanks to my ever-so curious mind. In fact, I’ve probably spent more time dabbling in your own hobby than you have. Ha-ha…like what? Well…

If you suddenly came into a lot of money, what would you spend it on?

Asmoday: Oh look. More questions. How delightful! But I can't say I've ever had to worry about the cost of anything. Being immortal and all. Which reminds me...

Ziola Ozro, Stranded: Blacksite (life elemental mage, former doctor, and inmate aboard a space station prison where not everything is as it seems)

Heh, can't say I'm all that optimistic about my lifespan. Soldiers running amok with guns and flamethrowers for fuck knows what reason will do that to you. It's a miracle any of us made it out at all without ending up as charcoal. Still, nothing to do but try to help keep my fellow survivors in one piece for as long as possible.

George Pendragon III Pokemon Rust

I’m a little too old to go trick or treating now. But when I was younger, my mom made me a Hoennian Salamence costume! It was the best! Who knew I would get my own Bagon a few years later.

What is your favorite scent?”
