Character Interview Questions

[LuckyBlackCat]

What is your favorite scent?”

@Crimson Flame

Igarashi Nanami, Malevolence from Beyond (eldritch magical girl who fights eldritch horrors)

The sea! I've always been drawn to it, but even more so since I got my water form. Especially just before a storm, there's something about that raw energy y'know? And now, it somehow feels like home.

- What's your favourite season?

[Exit]

- What's your favourite season?

@LuckyBlackCat

Akaia makes a 'C' with one of her hands and holds it horizontally as if she were placing the letter on its side on a flat surface in front of her, the curve of her thumb pointed toward her chest. With her other hand, she pushes her fingers through the opening of the first and as they emerge from the other side, spreads those fingers to imitate a 'bloom'. You swear you can see the season in her colorless eyes.

- Akaia

-Who do you consider closest to you?

[Mirandae]

This is a fun idea! I used some questions and added a new one. Character sheet linked in the character banner on the left.

Emilia had been waiting for an hour, perhaps more. Being stuck inside an Intelligence Division installation gave her the creeps, especially when the order was to 'just wait here'. After nearly falling asleep, slouching over the frigid table, Emilia was shocked back to reality by a burly man making his entry. He was clearly an officer of some kind, and pissed off for whatever reason. She stared at him while trying to snap out of the awakening haze. The man fiddled through some papers about this and that, psychological profile, service records, and so on. He suddenly stopped and stared right back at Emilia, not saying a word for several moments. She was just about to stand up and walk away, or at least try, but the deep, growling voice of the interrogator interrupted the atmosphere. "What do you do for fun?" (@LuckyBlackCat) He said. "What?" Emilia frowned for a split second. "Just answer the question, Lange." "Eh, play with the animals back home—maybe?" She said with a hint of doubt and confusion. The man took a zip of his coffee, not breaking eye contact for a second. The people in Intelligence Division sometimes appeared to be more unstable than the perpetrators they claimed to hunt. "If you could go anywhere, where to would that be?" (@BangoSkank) "Why the fuck am I even here?" She scuffed. The back of the quite burly man's hand came whining through the air and straight across Emilia's cheek, leaving an echoing sting in the tiny room. "Answer the question!" He growled. The slap probably hurt the interrogator more than it did Emilia, but it was not meant to be physical intimidation. That is not what the Intelligence Division specialized in. It was all psychological ploys, tricks, and subversion. "Anywhere but here. Home." She finally cracked a tone after staring at the man for a decent moment. "Who influenced your life the most?" (@LuckyBlackCat) The man continued. "Ben." The letters and word simply slipped out of her mouth. It was not what she wanted to answer, but she was unable to stop herself. The answer was way too personal. Did the slap work? No, it did not. Emilia was still in control of herself, she hoped. "Ben, who?" His voice descended to annoyance. "Benjamin Regardie." "Just say the full name right away!" He shouted and slammed a closed fist into the table, causing an uncomfortably reverberating noise. "What gives you purpose in life?" (@Dark Cloud) He said after taking a second or two to calm down. Emilia simply pointed a finger up into the ceiling, or the sky, as answer. "Speak for the record." The man pointed to microphones attached to the walls around the room. "The comet. Everything is on hold until it's gone, so that becomes the purpose." She said. The interrogator paused the questioning to write something down. He fiddled with the documents again, putting down check marks and crossing other things out. He also had a proper redacting pen, a secure marker, with which he removed entire rows of information. "I'm going to give you a couple of simple questions in rapid succession. I don't want any bullshit, Lange, just keep the answers simple—do you understand?" He continued. "Fine." She grunted. "What is your favorite animal?" (@CoffeeDrunk) "Cow." "What is your favorite scent?" (@Crimson Flame) "Rosemay." "Who do you consider closest to you?" (@Exit) "My sister." "Full names, Lange—full names!" The man suddenly and violently shouted after having been relatively calm in his voice. Emilia's frame slightly jerked at the reaction, still a bit groggy from that power nap. "Maria Lange." She sighed. The man took another taste of his coffee and piled the documents together, as if things were coming to a close. "Last question—What power do you desire the most?" Emilia stared at the man while slowly standing up. He simply waited for the answer, as he knew that the soldier before him would not go against U.D.F. orders. Her hand caressed the door handle, feeling its integrity—it was unlocked. It had been unlocked this whole time. A slight smirk came onto her lips, along with a puff of air from her lungs that was supposed to resemble a chuckle at the bizarre situation. "The power to know what is true and false." She said and left.

[spiral origin]

What power do you desire the most?

@Prisk

Daisy's eyes widen at the question. "What power do I desire the most!?" Her eyes roll up, absent-mindedly taking in the vastness of the sky, or perhaps ceiling, above, as her mouth droops open in contemplation, tongue pushing on the corner of her lip. She blinks, and her mind is made up. She looks back down at the questioner, starry confidence in her eyes. "The power to turn zombies into CANDY!"

- How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

@spiral origin

Shirai blinks.

"The fuck is a woodchuck, and why is it trying to chuck my wood? Does it know how much wood costs?"

There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.

Sophia Danvers, Pokemon Spiral

blank stare ... What. Was that supposed to be deep and meaningful or something? Why's everyone gotta wax philosophical? You sound like a certain comra- Uhh, rival of mine! I guess it's true in some cases though. I mean, there's no question as to whether I'll make a name for myself in the Kosei region! It's simply gotta happen!

Amber Pine, Pokemon Spiral

Ohh! A philosophical discussion? I'm more of a scientist, but I'm up for that. Thinking about it, it does apply pretty well to science, there are several ways to reach the same conclusion. Personally I like to observe in the field, but it sure is interesting to compare notes and methods with other researchers. I heard there's a professor in Alola who willingly gets himself hit with Pokemon attacks to learn about them, that's quite some dedication!

- What are you most afraid of?

[BrokenPromise]

Answering questions today is Davis "Perfection" Gallo, a mastermind from a Danganronpa fan RP.

Q: What do you like to do for fun?

A: "It has been a very long time since I have done anything for recreation's sake. But I would have to say anything that I have not done before. I am Infinite Conquest, and I welcome any challenge that comes my way. Just don't be a stickler about the rules..."

Q:What qualities do you like in a person?

A: "Well, let me think about what drew me to Alice Parker. You could tell she was dangerous with just a look, I really liked that. She was also resourceful, strong willed..." Davis trailed off. "She was a lot of things."

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

A: "Excuse me?" Davis leaned forward in his chair. "You cunt! My middle name is literally 'Perfection'! What kind of fool would even suggest that I should change something about myself? YOU ARE A FESTERING BOIL ON MY ASS! AND EVERY TIME I SIT DOWN I'M BOTHERED BY YOUR PRESE- I'm sorry, were there more questions?"

Q:If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

A: The master mind smiled. "The past, as there's no place in the present I couldn't visit."

Q:What is your favorite food, and why?

A: "Do I only get to pick one?" He smirked. "Steak, medium to well-done. Seasoned with my mother's lemon wash. It would have to come with smooth mashed potatoes with a basil garnish. And it would all have been cooked in garlic and butter. Need I even mention that it should be served with red wine?"

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

A: "I feel that I am more creative in the evening."

Q: Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

A: "Alice Parker... Next question."

Q: How do you feel about your family?

A: "They were rough with me, my parents. But that prepared me for the life I was going to lead. I give them a phone call once a month, but we aren't especially close."

Q: Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

A: "No, however, I've played some interesting matches with interesting chess pieces."

Q: What's your pet peeve?

A: "Ignorance. Especially if that ignorance is loud, bold, and brash."

Q: What is your favorite animal?

A: "Bears. No, that wasn't serious. I think my favorite animal would have to be a dog. Medium to large sized preferably. They are more obediant and well mannered than most of the people I deal with."

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: "Working with electronics and gambling. I've been doing more of the latter as of late."

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

A: "In the hypothetical situation where I came into a lot of money, I would purchase what was left of Hope's Peak's assets and move them to Axis Mundai in the states, particularly the prototype build for the hospital. I would then use the tech available to reprogram people. I would overwrite their memories with those of their favorite athletes and celebrities and use state of the art cosmetic surgery to make them look the part as well. Once that was done, I would set about and see if I could find a way to remake Alice Parker. But running out of money would be an issue, so I would host a series of killing games that the right people would spend millions to see and keep my funds in the black. This would continue untill I had a perfect candidate for Alice Parker.

Remember, it's purely hypothetical."

Q: How much time do you have left to live?

A: Davis scoffed. "Now that's a loaded question. Two answers: Infinite, and I'm already dead."

Q: What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

A: "I wouldn't. Well, I did dress up as a scare crow since Alice was dressed up as Raven. I may have misunderstood her costume."

Q: What is your favorite scent?

A: He chuckled. "To keep it clean, let's just say donut frosting. My father loved donuts."

Q: What's your favorite season?

A: "Autumn, something about the season of harvest that I just like."

Q: Who do you consider closest to you?

A: "Alice. Someone who's still alive? Alter Ego! What do you mean they don't count? Well, if we're cutting out robots... I suppose the remaining members of the Infinity Initiative."

Q: What power do you desire the most?

A: "Time Travel, if not the ability to resurrect the dead."

Q: How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A: "This is a waste of time, why is this here?"

Q: There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.

A: "Alright, THIS is a waste of time!"

Q: What are you most afraid of?

A: "Nothing. The worst thing that could have happened to me has already come to pass."

"Now, let me ask you a question..."

What would it take to get you to commit murder?

[Mole]

“What would it take to get you to commit murder?”

“A contrary duel,” the prince says without looking from his literature.

---

What is your personal definition of love?

[Majoraa]

...Eh screw it.

Because they continue to live in my head rent free for whatever reasons even I can't figure out, I'm pulling Alice and Henry Masson out again to hop on this bandwagon. Same RP as the weird Perfectionist guy two hops above this post.

This took too long to write holy crap

Q: What do you like to do for fun?

A: "Nothing specific. Henry does like to do stuff together like co-op his video games or write music."

"Can you blame me? You're actually pretty good at some of them!"

Q:What qualities do you like in a person?

A: Alice snorted. "Want a list?? If I had to choose one, it'd have to be kindness despite all odds."

"Patience and common sense, easy."

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

A: "If I was-"

Henry quickly covered her mouth. "Don't! Finish that thought!"

"Come on, Henry!"

"I know what you were going to say and no, you are not stupid! Sure that comes from a part of me who must feed his ego being the brains between the two of us, but that whole ordeal was pure bullshit to begin with. Don't worry about it, okay?"

Q:If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

A: "Huh. That's a tough one... Maybe Japan for vacation? Or anywhere out of country in fact."

Q:What is your favorite food, and why?

A: Both of them have a bias for snack food, but they do have a sweet tooth. Especially for certain treats. Alice likes chocolate, and Henry prefers sour candy.

<sub>"QUIT HOGGING THE FUCKIN' CHOCOLATE YOU FAT FUCK!"

"FUCK OFF, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SHIT TO EAT!"</sub>

You can see the two fighting over some in the back.

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

A: "Sleep is for the weak."

"I can and will carry you to bed by your scruff you dimwit."

Q: Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

A: "Admittedly, not sure how to answer this one. Next?"

Q: How do you feel about your family?

A: Alice pointed to Henry. "Dumbass."

And Henry pointed back at her with a smug smile. "Bitch."

Suffice to say, they're on great terms.

Q: Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

A: Alice dryly chuckled, crossing her arms. "Hah! Most of our dear associates were indifferent to my dumb ass. There were some who'd probably want me dead and by god I don't know why I felt I had to tolerate them, but they're of no concern at this point." She then frowned for a moment. "Many of our old allies are...not here with us anymore. But I'm glad to have stuck with a pair of dorks I care a great deal for to the bitter end."

"Awwe!"

Q: What's your pet peeve?

A: "High-and-mighty jackasses who severely need to be knocked down a peg? No I won't elaborate further."

"Not exactly a pet peeve, but I do have a bit of trypophobia." He shuddered. "Those damn holes..."

Q: What is your favorite animal?

A: "I like dogs!"

"I'm more leaning towards cats. Concidered adopting one and naming them Cheshire."

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: "Well as of now I still dabble in the music thing, but now I also do freelance tech stuff. Think Alice is trying photography recently, so that's neat I guess."

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

A: "First we'd have to prioritize getting necessities. Then maybe once we have some left over to spend on ourselves we could take a vacation and whatnot. God knows we need it."

Q: How much time do you have left to live?

A: "Weird question. Both of us are too spiteful to get killed yet." Henry shrugged.

Q: What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

A: "Honestly I don't think much about costumes as I do the food or horror movies. But Henry does like doing matching themes when he's bugged me enough to go with it."

_{"IF I'M STUCK BEING THE ROBIN OF THE GROUP, NEITHER YOU OR 'YA BOY ARE GETTING OUT OF BEING CAT AND BAT, JACKO."}

Q: What is your favorite scent?

A: "Also weird. Why would you wanna know, eh???" Henry narrowed his eyes at the asker. "Buying some perfume? Trying to imprrrress someone? Hmmmmmmmmm??"

_{"Dude, stop. You're scaring them."}

Q: What's your favorite season?

A: "Winter."

"Autumn."

"Hot weather sucks."

Q: Who do you consider closest to you?

A: The two point to each other again. "We're missing one but if he was here, we'd point at him too!"

Q: What power do you desire the most?

A: Alice gently held a hand over one of her eyes and frowned. "If only she was right about me..." She answered with a sigh. Having the ability to see the future was too farfetched, even for her.

"Eh, not sure what I'd want, but a supercomputer would be neat."

Q: How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled...I'm sorry what was the question again??"

Q: There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.

A: "Fuck you too then."

Q: What are you most afraid of?

A: "Many things. Mostly that our efforts would be in vain after everything."

Henry simply nodded in response.

Q: What would it take to get you to commit murder?

A: Oddly, she went silent, reading over the question again in a double take. "...Somehow, I don't think we should answer this one." She glanced around, as if suspecting something.

Probably nothing though, right?

Q: What is your personal definition of love?

A: "Okay. Now I'm stumped."

Henry rose a brow to his sister's reaction. "Aren't you the one with the boyfriend?"

"Doesn't mean I'm good with words, Henry. I'm no poet." She gave him an unamused look in return.

"Looks like that's it for now! Guess we can submit our own question."

"Oh? Uhm, okay, Got any siblings/sibling figures of your own? How's your relationship with them?"

[Crimson Flame]

"Oh? Uhm, okay, Got any siblings/sibling figures of your own? How's your relationship with them?"

@Majoras End

Leo Silverstone

I have 3 sisters! My youngest sister Lucy and I are very close. We watch cartoons together all the time! The middle child is Lily. I love her too, but she always keeps her distance. I think she’s trying to find herself. Then I have an older half sister Selena. I try to include her in the family, but she doesn’t want anything to do with me… I don’t know why. She seems lonely.

Do you collect anything?

[spiral origin]

Do you collect anything?

@Crimson Flame

Aethyrion

The angel does a stretch, leaning back in his seat, feet on the table. He slurps on his slushie, taking a satisfying gulp. "Hmm, yeah I do, let's see... I collect money, hotties, and bubblebaths. Send any you got my way, thanks."

What advice would you have for your younger self?

[Ammokkx]

Feels like an opportunity to write for some Dead Characters™ so I'll pick out a couple I like.
(some are also answered by characters that are very much not dead.)

---

- What do you like to do for fun?
(Tamatsu)

"I... like sitting in parks. The quiet is nice.
...
I just...
I just really like it."

---

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

"M-my stuttering! I need t-to be more assertive..."
_{"Otherwise, he won't notice me at all..."}

---

- How much time to do have left to live?
(Tamatsu)

"...L...ive?
I...
...I'm... already... I...
..."
"...
Such a frightening question to ask her. I think I'm more suited to answering this. After all...
I'll live forever."

---

- Who's had the biggest influence on your life?
(Rui and Lumia)

"Who? ...Well, maybe two people?
I have a little brother- Sora, right? We've always been together, and I'd do anything for him. If anyone shaped me who I was, it's him.
But... those memories were stolen from me. And only Lumia can help me get them back.
And... I see her as a friend, too. She's turned my life upside-down, but I don't regret that anymore. I want to fight alongside her... I trust her."
"Nee-... chan...
...
I'm sorry."
"It's alright- we'll figure it out!"
"Right!"

---

- What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?
(Lumia)

"...It's dumb, right? I had this big dream that I thought I'd give anything for- even my life.
But now... I'm trapped and lonely inside of a card, because I was selfish and wished for it at the cost of others' memories.
...I need to get back to my body. No matter what. A-and I'll set things right... somehow...
...I'm sorry, Nee-chan. I'm sorry I need to lie to you to make that come true."

---

- What is your favorite animal?
(Nico)
"Hedgehogs!"

---

- Who do you consider closest to you?
(Chie)

"Well...
If you had asked me this earlier, I'd say my dad. And he still is, even if I can't see him much anymore.
But... Selma, Rivka, Crystal and Aoife... I care about them too.
We're team Kheper. I'll do anything for them."

---

- There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.
(Momoe)

"Bullshit."

---

- What power do you desire the most?"
(Serah)

"Cuddles and rainbows and sparkles- all the time!
...
Aha, I really can't keep this up, can I?
The true answer is the power to protect people. I... I already saw so many of my friends die.
...I already... nearly killed one of them myself..."

---

- What advice would you have for your younger self?
(Masked Boy/Nanashi)

"I don't remember him. I don't even remember his name.
But as I am now...
'Gaze up at the sky and remember. Hold tight to those memories.'
'And when the day comes you forget them...'
'Fight and struggle until you get them back.'"

If it was to protect something, someone or the world- for any reason whatsoever- would you suffer any punishment? Would you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something else?

[LuckyBlackCat]

If it was to protect something, someone or the world- for any reason whatsoever- would you suffer any punishment? Would you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something else?

@Ammokkx

Karya of Brackenglade, Hoseforn's Academy

looks unusually solemn, hands clenched
Xanthe. My sister Xanthe. If it's to save her, then yes absolutely. She's the kind of person who wouldn't think twice about putting herself in danger to save others, so I'd do the same for her. The entire reason I became an adventurer is to find her, or at least find out what happened to her.

- If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?

[Vermicelli]

Angelli Moreno, Road Captain for the Iron Valkyries in The Taygete Project

What do you like to do for fun?

"Like the other Valks, I like my beers cold and my music loud. We can be a rambunctious bunch, and stirring up trouble is always a good time. If I'm winding down, I'm either posting brutally honest reviews on Pasithee or enjoying some billiards. What I love most is finding scenic routes I can take my motorcycle through."

What qualities do you like in a person?

"Honesty and courage go a long way for me. I mean that in the sense that I have respect for those who aren't afraid to wear their true colors on their sleeve and stand up for their ideals. In Taygete, you'll find no shortage of people who will lie and backstab just to get ahead, and that's not even talking about the Herse District. Sad part is, most of the victims of it just let it happen."

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

"Shoulda asked me that a couple of years ago. I had something I wanted to change about myself, and I've already changed it. Before the Valks, I was the kind of person that was expected of me. Looking back, it's hard to believe I was a fucking yuppie. You wanna know what it's like working for those corporate assholes? Not for a single second do they ever want you to believe that you're actually worth something. They'll say whatever it takes to keep you under their thumb and discourage anything that they perceive as a threat to the status quo. Back then, I wanted to change all the doubts I had about myself. Now? I leave them all dead and buried."

If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

"Ain't nothin' holding me back, sugar. I already ride wherever I wanna go. My dad took me with him during some of his business trips when I was younger, so I've already had my fill of the outside world."

What is your favorite food, and why?

"A lot of people swear by the steak burger at The Heritage, but I personally prefer the hot wings at the O'Sullivan's. Nobody can resist the wings. Nobody."

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

"Most of the action in my uh... current line of work happens at night, but I'm not picky. If I ever wanna be a bad bitch, all I gotta do is wake up."

Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

"Prez, hands down. She was the one who found me when I was at my lowest and took me in—helped me be who I am today. The other Valks didn't take too well to me at first, but I got my chance to prove myself and I did. I owe a lot to her and I don't think I can ever pay her back for all she's done for me."

What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

"Sounds like a spiritual question, and I'm not really a spiritual person. I wanna say I'm happy where I am in the Iron Valkyries. We all take care of our own here and a lot of the newbies look to me like an older sister. It's nice when others can place their confidence in you."

How do you feel about your family?

"I think I just answered this question. Oh, you mean my biological family. By functional standards, I'd say we get along well enough. Never had any serious issues with my dad, but my older brother questions the kind of path my life is heading in. As for my mom, it's hard to say. I'll get back to you on that if I can ever manage to separate her from a bottle of wine long enough to get a heart-to-heart going."

Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

"Don't have anyone in my corner other than the Valks. Oh, and my roommate Cat. I'd go to bat for her any day. As for enemies, we have our fair share of rivals, but the suits are on my personal shitlist."

What's your pet peeve?

"Too many to count. If I had to give an example, it'd be people who like to flaunt their wealth. If you ever find yourself in Taygete, don't brag about your bankroll like someone isn't going to fuck you up and take it from you just to teach you a lesson. Because they just might."

After a stressful day, what calms you down?

"On rough days, you'll find me at O'Sullivan's, slamming back some cold ones and shoveling wings. I don't really sweat the small stuff, though."

What is your favorite animal?

"Chicken. They're delicious."

What are your hobbies?

"Ask anyone, I play a mean game of pool. Not so much at O'Sullivan's anymore—That creep Jeremy is always trying to stare at my ass, especially when I'm trying to lean in for a close pocket shot. Jeremy, if you're listening, fuck you. Everyone knows you got crabs when you went out of town last week."

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

"Assuming I don't lose it all at the poker table? I'd probably get a nice house with a swimming pool. If I have enough left over, I'd hire a bunch of people to follow my old bosses around all day and have them just stare at them."

How much time do you have left to live?

"You serious? Are people born with expiration dates tattooed on them where you're from? Last I checked, I wasn't a replicant."

What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

"Slutty nurse."

What is your favorite scent?

"I went from liking the smell of perfume to liking the smell of gasoline. Comes with the territory, I suppose."

What's your favourite season?

"Spring or autumn. It's a bitch to ride a motorcycle during winter, and you wouldn't believe how sweaty it gets under all this leather during the summer.

Who do you consider closest to you?

"Some of these questions are starting to get a little redundant. Like I said, it'd have to be Prez. She's a sister to me."

What power do you desire the most?

"I used to think life would be a lot easier if I could read minds. It lost its appeal when I stopped caring what others thought."

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

"However much it damn well pleases."

There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.

"Waiter? I'd like a new fortune cookie. This one's defective."

What are you most afraid of?

"Losing that which gives me purpose."

What would it take to get you to commit murder?

"You're asking someone who sees blood almost on the daily. My answer? Not a whole lot. I once iced a guy for scratching my bike."

What is your personal definition of love?

"Open roads with the wind at my back. I can't even begin to describe a more cathartic feeling."

Got any siblings/sibling figures of your own? How's your relationship with them?

"Got an older brother. He hasn't looked at me quite the same when I threw away my last job at an office. As far as sibling figures go, the Iron Valkyries themselves are a sisterhood."

Do you collect anything?

"Some people owe debts to the Valks, and I collect on them. That count?"

What advice would you have for your younger self?

"Don't take criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from."

If it was to protect something, someone or the world- for any reason whatsoever- would you suffer any punishment? Would you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something else?

"Whatever it goddamn takes."

If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?

"Honey, I already live each day like it's my last. Not a damn thing would change. I believe the Taygete Shoegazers have a motto they live by. 'Live fast, eat ass.' Wait, what do you mean that's not it? It's actually 'Live for free, forever?' That's fucking stupid, I like mine better."

---

"My turn to ask, right? Alright. You can learn a lot about a person by the music they listen to. What are your favorite songs?"

[Hungry Vandal]

A woman in black leather with equally dark hair took a seat. She sheathed her swords and folded one leg over the other. Shiko was ready for her interview.

What do you like to do for fun?

"I’d say my job gives me quite a bit of satisfaction but even I need to unwind after a day of mutant slaying. I’ll go to some hole in the wall to drink and socialize. Maybe hit up a nightclub if I feel like dancing. If I don’t feel like being around people I’ll be training with my dog."

What qualities do you like in a person?

"Not being total bottom feeders is a good start. I don’t think I’ve met many people I consider attractive. If you can refuse a bribe and have ironclad determination you’re a keeper in my book. A sense of humor goes a long way too."

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

"I wish I could open up to people easier. But it’s really easy to be crooked and I never found trusting people easy. We all want something and once we get it we go our separate ways.."

If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

"I’d love to see the pyramids in Egypt one day. But who am I kidding? I could never leave New York in the state it’s in."

What is your favorite food, and why?

"Hotdogs and hamburgers. They taste good and they’re cheap."

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

"I hardly sleep. The cover of darkness is where most of my prey hide. That’s usually where I do my work. "

Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

"Dad. Mom was good but dad taught me what justice was. If he didn’t tell me about our justice system I’d probably be bagging groceries right now."

What gives you purpose in life? What drives you?

"Vengeance."

How do you feel about your family?

"I love ‘em. I already mentioned dad, but mom’s the reason why I’m not bitter about everything. Can’t forget about my brother either. Fuyuyoshi and I have always been close. Does Yipper count? The family dog has got to be part of the family unit."

Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

"We meet and we depart. The difference is my allies get to walk away and my enemies bleed out in a dumpster."

What's your pet peeve?

"Smug assholes? I don’t know. I try not to let people bother me."

After a stressful day, what calms you down?

"Knowing that they’ll never hurt anyone again."

What is your favorite animal?

"Dogs. I don’t hate cats though. I have a special place in my heart for tigers."

What are your hobbies?

"I think everyone likes to play on computers. I also like to play with my motorcycle. Drive it around, tune it up, I enjoy every moment we’re together."

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

"Everything I want or need is cheap. I’d use whatever I needed for the moment and donate the rest to the police department."

How much time do you have left to live?

"I plan on living forever. So far so good."

What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

"People already think I'm wearing a Halloween costume. Maybe I’ll dress up as something normal like a cashier at Wal-Mart."

What is your favorite scent?

"My brother will tell you it's my own farts but he's wrong. It's the smell of daffodils. Though I'd argue my farts can smell like that sometimes."

What's your favorite season?

"People come to New York just to see the autumn season. You won’t taste better apples anywhere else in the country."

Who do you consider closest to you?

"My dog, Yipper."

What power do you desire the most?

"I have the power to vanquish evil. Do I need anything else?"

What are you most afraid of?

"Not being strong enough to finish the fight."

What would it take to get you to commit murder?

"I kill a lot of things but that’s just extermination. But if I thought the world was better off without them I’d do it. Wouldn’t even feel guilty about it."

What is your personal definition of love?

"When you trust your back to them. There aren’t a lot of people I love."

Do you collect anything?

"I use to collect cool looking trash. I don’t really collect anything anymore. Maybe a token from a target I’m proud to have eliminated.."

What advice would you have for your younger self?

"You’re on the right track kid, keep it up."

If it was to protect something, someone or the world- for any reason whatsoever- would you suffer any punishment? Would you sacrifice yourself to save someone or something else?

"Only if I thought they were worth it."

If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend it?

"Like I do all the others."

What are your favorite songs?

"There’s too many good ones to pick. Twisted Sister’s ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It,’ Def Lepard's ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me,’ but my very favorite is ‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor. They made some good rock in the nineties too."

Oh… um… No no no. I stay out of danger… Too scary… The most I’ve ever done is bring an injured Pokémon to mom…

@Crimson Flame

Astrid Jennings, Pokemon Ascendancy (electric type gym leader in a future/alternate version of Galar)

Besides characters in sci-fi shows? *laughs* My long-time idol is Elesa, Unova's electric gym leader. Apparently her old gym doubled as an amusement park, with rollercoasters and everything, that's so cool! It inspired me to do something similar with laser tag, I hope I pull it off. And her confidence and stage persona are quite something. Those who say all she does is prance around on the catwalk have no idea what they're talking about, Unova's gym leaders seem pretty proactive from what I've heard, actually dealing with threats and defending the region. We Galarian gym leaders would do well to take their example.

Evie, 19, college student

"Oh my gosh! I have so many amazing memories with my sister Martha! She's... aahh... *blushes*... perfect... I treasure every moment I'm with her <3 I'll always remember the heavenly scent of her hair... it takes me back to when we were kids playing at the park. I think that's the first time I realized I loved her... as more than just my sister. And of course, there's the more recent times we shared in the bathtub together... tehee!"

Oh geeeeez... Last night it was that I showed up to class in Mimikyu PJs. Everyone was laughing. N-Not that I own anything as silly as Mimikyu PJs of course! *shifty eyes* Or that I have anything to be nervous about just cos it's a new school... eheheh...

What's the crappiest job you've ever done?

Kenji Yamamoto: Disgruntled customer service representative.

I don’t want to say it’s the crappiest job I’ve ever had but… um… Look you’re not gonna report this to my boss are you?

I hate this stupid job! I hate talking to these Karens and hearing their petty complaints. I’m tired of being yelled at by stupid people for stupid things I have no control over. I wasn’t supposed to be in this job for very long. I was supposed to be a star! Buuut nooo… My big break hasn’t come yet. So I’m stuck here dealing with idiots. And these dumbasses that try to make me feel better have no idea what they’re talking about. What do you mean don’t take it personally? You try listening to these people complain for 40 hours a week and then have someone who isn’t in the same field as you tell you’re taking it too personal, and tell me how you feel afterwards!

I FUCKING HATE MY JOB!

What was the best job you’ve ever had?
