We'll interview your character
 
Hey guys, if you're looking to flesh out your characters, you've come to the right place. Me and a few fellow writers can interview them for food. You first fill the basic questionnaire out and post it here in this thread, to let us know a few things of your character before we can interview them (make sure to answer in first person!). Then you wait for us! The purpose of this interview is to help you develop your character in directions you had never considered, and unlock more possibilities in your stories.

Basic Questionnaire
Spoiler:
  • What is your full name?
  • When and where were you born?
  • Who are/were your parents?
  • Do you have any family other than your parents?
  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
  • What do you do for a living?
  • Do you have any special abilities?
  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
  • To which social class do you belong?
  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
  • What does your voice sound like?
  • What do you have in your pockets?
  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
*You're free to make a question for your character to answer yourself, if you think these don't quite help with the interview.

What the heck, I feel like my main character needs help fleshing out who he is and I think this is a cool way on how to do it.

What is your full name?
Nolafus Simolson

When and where were you born?
Delwood CA, USA

Who are/were your parents?

My father and mother are Drayghen and Molla Simolson respectively.

Do you have any family?

I have two sons, Badron, who is thirteen, and Kren who is seven. My wife, Anaria, died five years ago due to police brutality.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
I don't like talking about my past.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live on the outskirts of a big city named Bristol in a small house that has seen better days. I try to keep it looking nice, but I can't manage it most of the time since I'm gone all day for work.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a Firefighter.

Do you have any special abilities?
My scales prevent me from getting burns as easily as humans, if that counts.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I'm 6 feet 8 inches tall, a little taller than average for my race. I'm a green, humaniod, reptilian race known as a Srain. We walk on two legs, have a tail, and have a smooth body without any scales popping out. I have brown eyes, no tattoos, scars, or anything of the like. I dress pretty casually normally putting on a t-shirt and shorts for everyday things. Srains live just as long as humans do for the most part and I'm 37 years old.

To which social class do you belong?
I'm currently below the poverty line.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Not that I know of.

What does your voice sound like?
A little deeper than the average person's

What do you have in your pockets?

I have my wallet.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

I find it very hard to hold a grudge. For reasons of my own that I don't like talking about, I believe in second chances and that everyone can do the right thing. You have to prove to me that you can't be trusted, otherwise, you're trustworthy.

Nolafus August 22nd, 2013 4:03 AM

You appear to trust others easily. Has trusting anybody gotten you into trouble sometime?
It's not so much a trust that I'll do whatever they say, but rather a trust in that they'll do the right thing and not lie to me. I haven't been in a big conflict due to this and I hope it stays that way.

Since you're a firefighter, do you think you deserve a better life for your hard work and services to your community? A bigger wage, perhaps?
Who wouldn't like a bigger wage? I work as a firefighter because of a mix of I couldn't find another job and that I want to do the right thing and help as many people as possible.

What's your relationship with humans and other Srain?
To me, race doesn't matter. It's all about what your character is and what your morals are. Cheesy, yes, but it's what I believe.

Are you proud to be a Srain, or would you rather belong to another race?
This is a funny question. There's such a rift between the two that one side will almost never wish to be the other. Maybe Srains might wish that they're human, but I can't think of a single human that would want to be a Srain.

Do you love your sons, and do you think you are giving them enough by working as a firefighter?
My sons are the most precious things in the world to me. I would do anything for them. I don't think I'm giving them all that they deserve, but I'm doing the best I can with what I'm presented and that's what matters. My only regret is that I'm away all day and don't really get to spend time with them.

Are you an optimist, a realist or a pessimist?
I would like to think a realist.

What do you fear most?
I want to be there when my kids grow up. My biggest fear is that I won't make it back from a fire or that my kids will fall into a bad crowd and, well, I think you know.

What are your religious views?
Don't really have any. No one has ever pressured me about anything so I leave the topic alone.

What are your political views?
I vote, but I don't really belong to any party. I do some research when the elections come around at the library and vote for whoever I think is genuine and cares about the working force. I don't like government freebies however. A man should be able to take care of his own family.

Do you have friends?
My best friend is a human named Joe. He's one of the few that doesn't care that you're a Srain. I also have a friend named Kolski. He's my neighbor and a fellow Srain. Both of them are firefighters with me.

Do you desire revenge for your wife's death? And if yes, would you be willing to kill somebody?
I did at first, but I managed to keep my anger under control. It took every ounce of self control I had, but eventually I calmed down. I'm a long way from forgiving the officer, but I had to do the right thing, for my boys.

What is the worst sin you have committed, and do you think often about it?
Since this keeps getting brought up, I guess I can give an answer, but I won't like it... I've shot another Srain when I was young and foolish. There isn't a day that goes by where I wish I hadn't done it. I still have nightmares about that day from time to time. They're extremely vivid. I'm forced to relive the worst day in my life over and over again, like some sort of curse.

Sir Bastian August 22nd, 2013 4:49 AM

What is your full name?
Matthias Winston.

When and where were you born?
I was born in Denmark, in 1996, I'm 17 years old.

Who are/were your parents?
My dad's a mechanic at the local autoshop and my mom works at an office a couple of towns away from ours.

Do you have any family?
Aside from my parents? I've got my big sister, even if she can be a bit of a pain in the butt at times. We usually just steer clear of each other though.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Well, uhm... when I was little, just about to go out of kindergarden, apparently I got really, really angry at another one of the kids and... stuff started happening around me. Things, toys, chairs, flying through the air, smashing into walls and exploding in on itself. The teachers were really scared and managed to get everyone out of the room before they managed to calm me down. Nobody got hurt! That was the first time my parents found out about my powers. And me, I suppose.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I lived in a small house in a town in... uh, Jylland. It's a part of Denmark. I lived there with my mom, dad and sister. Mom and dad were the typical parents, I suppose, but they were a little more... overbearing with me? I dunno, they helped me out alot. Lately, I've moved to this school called 'Gilded Halls', which is pretty awesome. Full of kids with special powers like myself!

What do you do for a living?
I just started at Gilded Halls. I guess we're supposed to learn about our abilities and try to control them. Not that we knew about that -before- we arrived.

Do you have any special abilities?
As mentioned earlier... heh, yeah. It took alot of practice, but I can control it pretty well now. I can move stuff around with my... mind, or will, or whatever you want to call it. Make them float or hover, move them around. I can't do it to living things though, and the bigger the stuff is, or the further away, the harder.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Oh, uh... you caught me a bit on the spot with that. Uhm... I'm slightly higher than my friend back home who's a year younger than me, so... I dunno, a little over average? I watch my weight so I don't get fat, but I'd say I'm fairly fit. Not... muscular or anything, just... average? *He shrugs* I'm a... human, I guess. You mean you often get other races here? I've begun dying my hair blue. Not a light blue, but a blue that's -almost- black, and I like having a bit of gel in the front tips of my hair, you know, make it look a little fresh. I've got green eyes, I don't have any... scars or tattoos or birthmarks or the like. As for my clothing... I suppose 'casual' fits it? Just some jeans and a shirt or a hoodie and I'm set. As long as it's comfy.

To which social class do you belong?
The middle class, I suppose?

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Not as far as I know, no. I mean, I'm not the strongest, the fastest or most durable person, but that doesn't stop me from taking on a crazy dodgeball-firing machine. Heh, that was fun.

What does your voice sound like?
It sounds... uhm. I don't know? I haven't really listened to a recording of it before, and you know how it is, you always think your voice sounds different when you hear it.

What do you have in your pockets?
Uhm... *He rummages in his pockets for a moment* A box of matches, my keycard for my room at the school, a watch my dad gave me and a pair of metal balls. You know, the kind you move around in your palm and you try to make them not touch each other?

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
*He tilts his head back thoughtfully and rubs the side of his neck* Mrh... I guess I do have a bit of a danish accent. I've worked hard on getting rid of it, but there's still a bit of it left. Other than that, and the fact that I don't really turn off lights after I go out of a room, I can't really think of anything else.

Ray Maverick August 22nd, 2013 6:23 AM

Any of the assigned writers may ask Slayr231 more questions!

I'll move to dear Ser Bastian here.

  • How would you describe your childhood, in general? You liked living with your parents, did they teach you anything, or did you have to find out how the world works by yourself?
  • Did you enjoy the normal school? How would you compare it to the Gilded Halls?
  • In your new school, is there anybody you idolize?
  • Does your sister have any powers like you whatsoever?
  • If she had, do you think you'd be able to bear her around you if she joined the Gilded Halls?
  • What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
  • What is the evilest thing you can imagine yourself capable of doing?
  • What is your motto? Do you live by any words that have changed your life?
  • What is your best memory?
  • Have you made any enemies in the new school of yours?
  • Have you lost any friends because you got into that school, and have you made any new friends there?

Captain Oshawott August 22nd, 2013 6:26 AM

This thread is just what I felt I needed!

What is your full name?

My name's Clayton Richard Connolly.

When and where were you born?

In the outskirts of Mistralton City, Unova. January 3rd, 1995.

Who are/were your parents?

Lucian Connolly and Marcy Connolly

Do you have any family?

Well now that's a silly question, you just asked who my parents were! *He laughs* Mom and Dad ARE my family. Even though Dad's all the way in Kanto at Silph Co.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?

There isn't much to say. I'm an Eighteen year old aspiring trainer that just graduated Trainer school and started their adventure.

Although there was this one time, walking across Skyarrow with my Father when I was a kid, that a Ducklett swooped down and stole a sandwich out of my hand...

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.

I used to live in my Childhood home in the Mistralton City outskirts with my Mother. Describe her? She was a gentle, caring woman. I can only assume she wanted the best for me. She always would work herself into a fit trying to afford things for me, what with Dad working in Kanto. Kinda makes me wonder why he hasn't sent us our share of money yet...

She's a delicate woman, with pitch black hair running gently down her shoulders, a bun on the top of her hair. Her complexion is a bit darker than mine, considering her job is cleaning the Mistralton City Gym. Inside and out. She stands at about 5' 7'' tall, and is very thin, despite her job.

What do you do for a living?

I used to help around the town wherever I could. Fetching wood from the forest whilst borrowing someone's Timburr. Mowing lawns for the elderly. Heck, I even helped Skyla, the Gym Leader of Mistralton, catch her Woobat, which has now evolved into a Swoobat.

Do you have any special abilities?

None that I discuss openly. Not even my childhood friend Katherine knows yet. My special ability is the ability to talk to Pokemon, kinda like my Mother can, on occasion.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

This is getting a bit personal here, but I digress. Um, I'd have to say that I've got a really gruff facial structure. So I usually appear rather irritated, even in my happiest of days. I stand at about 6' 7'' Height, weigh around 250lbs or so *not fat, just because of my BMI*. I'm easily Caucasian, although my time spent in my room reading Training books may have made me a bit more 'white' than I would have liked.

Some people have joked that I look like a Gengar if they could be bleached! Moving on, I have short Black hair. Not necessarily military crew cut, but not shoulder length and shaggy. It's well kept, and probably about two or three inches off of my head. Eyes are a deep dark blue. Referred to some as Iceburg, I would rather associate them as the next level lighter than Denim jeans.

I wear khakis, I find them more comfortable when going on long distance trips then denim, and I'd rather not wear shorts, as they usually tend to show more than I would like. Shopping is hard when you are the human equivalent of Sasquatch, y'know? Shoes are your typical running shoes, although these suckers are size 16 *US*. Again, people have referred to me as submarine shoes because of it. For a shirt, I typically wear a 'tank top' commonly referred to as a wife beater. It's usually black, and then on top of that I have my leather vest. On my hands, I tend to wear finger-less gloves, leather or not.

As for the rest, I don't have any distinguishing marks.

To which social class do you belong?

Pretty poor, if you ask me. I'd say my family is in the blue collar social class. It's right below Middle Class, but right above Lower Class. Even though my father is a scientist in Silph Co. We don't tend to see much of his paycheck. I guess Kanto region stuff is more expensive than he thought.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?

I can't note any allergies or diseases currently. However, I have a weakness to death and the mistreatment of Pokemon. I have a wicked temper as well, which can sometimes get the better of my judgement.

What does your voice sound like?

Couldn't really say. Hold on one second. *Pulls out voice recorder* Sup Johnny, the world says HELLO! *Plays it back* Yep. That's my voice alright. You ever seen movies like Taken with Liam Neeson? I'd say my voice is similar to Liam Neeson, or Clint Eastwood, if you are more familiar.

What do you have in your pockets?

A pocket full of sunshine. *Chuckles* On a more serious note, I'd say a ball of lint, loose change, and sometimes my trainer ID case, when my backpack is full. Also my wallet, if I had much spending money.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

If you'll pardon my french, I'm a bit of a wise-ass. Which can be viewed as an annoying habit, and a source of entertainment for different people. One time, when I was little, I used to chat like a Chatot to annoy some bully off of my friend Katherine. She still laughs whenever I do an impression of it.

I usually have a very easy going attitude. I'm easily approachable, and I like to help people where I can. But if you harm a Pokemon or my friends, I won't have any trouble heading to Officer Jenny's lockup for a few years, if you catch my drift. As you could probably tell, I have a zero tolerance policy for bad people. Team Plasma are such people. I have a wicked temper, and honestly, with a man my size, ticking me off would be like taking a Magikarp out of an Ursaring's mouth. You won't WANT to recover from the after math.

Sir Bastian August 22nd, 2013 7:06 AM

How would you describe your childhood, in general? You liked living with your parents, did they teach you anything, or did you have to find out how the world works by yourself?
My childhood? It was definitely good. Mom and dad were -really- understanding when it came to... uh, my powers. They helped me get some anger-management type thing, helped me control my temper. It really helped me to get good control of my powers. Other than that, it was nice. Chores, homework, the works, really.

Did you enjoy the normal school? How would you compare it to the Gilded Halls?
Well, uh... here's the thing. I didn't even go to a normal school. After the incident in kindergarden, mom and dad thought it best to have me homeschooled. So... before going to Gilded Halls, I just sort of... was stuck at home.

In your new school, is there anybody you idolize?
Idolize? I don't really think so. I've made a couple of friends, but nobody I really look up to as such, and we haven't met any teachers yet.

Does your sister have any powers like you whatsoever?
No, she doesn't. Or... at least I don't think she does. Hmh.

If she had, do you think you'd be able to bear her around you if she joined the Gilded Halls?
Oh god, if she came to the same school? That would be -horrible-. I mean... I could bear it, sure, but it'd be really annoying having her running around, calling me 'little brother' all the time. Ugh.

What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Important? I guess that'd be the whole kindergarden incident thing. It made me realize that I have powers, made my parents really... step up and show how much they love me, all that stuff.

What is the evilest thing you can imagine yourself capable of doing?
That I can imagine myself -capable- of doing? Erk, that's... a difficult one. Some kind of prank, I suppose. I don't really want to hurt people. Unless I really don't like them, and in that case... hmh. Probably either just humiliate them in front of everyone else, anonymously, or something like that.

What is your motto? Do you live by any words that have changed your life?
Does 'Hakuna mattata' count? *He grins*

What is your best memory?
Hmm... probably either arriving at Gilded Halls, finding out how everyone else there also had powers. Or... when I was younger, when I accidentally broke part of a shelf in the kitchen when trying to lift something down from there. I thought mom and dad would be so angry at me and my sister called me an idiot, but when they found out, they just made sure I was okay, of course, they told me to be more careful, but they took me and my sister to the nearby ice cream parlor during the evening and... we had a really good time. Mmh... yeah, that's probably the best one.

Have you made any enemies in the new school of yours?
Nope, no enemies yet. Seen a couple people I thought seemed a little... snooty, and would prefer not to get close to them, but in general, no.

Have you lost any friends because you got into that school, and have you made any new friends there?
I've made three... four-ish new friends, two of them being really close, and one of them sadly having an accident and being taken out of the school almost right away. It's a shame, because he was a cool guy. I lost a friend that I lived next to back at home, but I think we agreed to talk together if we ever got to a computer.

Ray Maverick August 22nd, 2013 9:37 AM

Good to see everyone applying, I'm happy to know more of your characters, but I can't interview all of you for a second time, sadly. I hope the other assigned writers will be up for it!

@Shad0wChas3r

Captain Oshawott August 22nd, 2013 10:24 AM

What is your current state of mind?

Doing good. Traveling down out of Mistralton right now with Katherine in tow. Just won my first official Pokemon battle as a new trainer against her. We'll branch apart at Nimbasa, and I'm going to continue down to Striaton City for my first badge.

You know Team Plasma is up to no good. Will you actively stand up to them?

Till my dying breath. They say they mean to liberate Pokemon, but if you had seen the way their Herdiers hunted Bolt *he's my Pichu*'s mother. You'd feel the same way. That, and they FEED Patrats to them. It's sickening.

If you even so much as mutter the words Team Plasma, I'll demand to know where they are, who to look for, and be halfway there before you can finish your sentence.

Is being a trainer the career you would readily choose?

Technically, my career of choice would be a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member. So in a way, yes. Being a Pokemon Trainer is the career I readily would choose. My mother started an adventure when she was my age, but never finished because she had met my Father.

I decided that I would become the Champion of the Unova region, and finish what she started, while finding my own happiness in life.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Funny you should ask. Perfect happiness for me would probably be going on an adventure with my Pokemon. Something about being around Pokemon, it makes me feel good. That, and to find love. That would be pretty nice too.

Have you had any Pokemon partners so far? If no, would you like to get one?
I do actually, two Pokemon. One is my very first Pokemon, whom I encountered shortly after he hatched from his egg. His name is Bolt, and he is a Pichu. He enjoys traveling with me, but he still has some trust issues, and he's not yet ready for battle.

Alongside that I have Snivy, whom I actually have yet to nickname. First things first, I'd like to get to know Snivy a little better before I can properly name it.

What is your favorite species of Pokemon?

As I younger child, I was fascinated by all sorts of Pokemon Species. The Pikachu evolutionary line stood out a bunch. I can't really say, to tell you the truth. I like all Pokemon, and I know that they all have their particular uses and quirks about them that makes them equally likable.

Don't you hate the fact that there's no police to tackle such obnoxious people? (xD I know I do)

Unova really hasn't had a need for a Police force, because normally there are no crimes going on. Any and all Officer Jenny's in Unova were transferred to Kanto/Johto during the Uprising of Team Rocket, and then to Sinnoh after Team Galactic showed up.

Perhaps that would explain the sudden increase of Team Plasma followers. I dunno, they all are defeated the same. Any and all police officers nearby are saved for security purposes, not so much petty crimes.

It irks me to no end, but I'm not in Government. I have no control on the situation.

Have you ever fallen in love? A crush, perhaps?

Heh. It's funny you should mention it. It seems as though recently Katherine has been really trying to grab my attention. Of course, I've always liked her since I first laid eyes on her. With all this attention seeking, perhaps she's trying to tell me something? Something about those eyes... and if you tell her I said any of that, I'll clobber you!

What of your education? Have you gone to a trainer's school?

Yes, Katherine and I just graduated yesterday. Our Teacher was relieved, believe me. We were so ecstatic to finally be gone from that place and it's rental Pokemon. Katherine wanted to use Candy *her Lillipup* but the school board wouldn't allow it. Funny how a school tries to teach you the importance of bonding with your Pokemon, but won't let you bring your own.

Do you have any memory of your dad you'd feel comfortable sharing with us?

*Pauses, furrowing his lips* My last memory of being with him was six years ago, when he first moved to Kanto. It was the day we walked across the Skyarrow bridge. He had business to do in Straiton. We stopped by Castelia city for a couple of Casteliacones and a couple of sandwichs. We walked across the bridge, enjoying the view of the ocean about mid-way.

He kept looking at me, as if something was bothering him. When I tried to ask what was the matter, he shook his head, glancing back at the ocean. That was when the Ducklett swooped down and attacked my sandwich. When we returned to Mistralton, he tucked me in that night, and then the next morning, he was gone. Mother said he told her that he was going with Silph Co. to Saffron City over in Kanto.

Apparently there was this huge project they were working on, and he was an essential member of the process. Something along those lines. I dunno, I'm done talking about it, next question.

Do you have any sort of criminal record in the past?

That's a rude question. But I will answer it nonetheless, I'm sure you didn't mean it to be so. No, my parents raised me to be a proper, chivalrous gentleman. In fact, I despise criminals. I understand that some people do it out of desperation, but resorting to things like this only changes you as a person, not the situation you're in.

Look at me, spent the last six years in Poverty, working alongside my Mother, just trying to put food on the table, get me a good education, and feed Buster and Jaspurr *Mom's Herdier and Purrloin*. I haven't even considered robbing a Poke-Mart, or the nearby Farmer's market.

Are you honest with other people, or have you been lying to us all along? You sound and look older than 18, if you don't mind me saying.

Any way I answer that might sound as a lie. But you're going to have to trust that I am being completely honest with you. I only lie to protect others and the ones I care about. Even then, I don't resort to it unless it's a complete necessity.

I come from a family of strong-men. My voice and my body structure is all genetic.

Who, what or with who would you die for (otherwise go to the extremes)?

I'm assuming you are asking who I would take a bullet for? My answer is simple, and I've said it about thirty times in this interview. I would die for my family's safety, for the safety of my Pokemon, and I would die for Katherine too, if the need ever showed.

Heck, I'd even die just to take down Team Plasma, and finally rid the Unova region of their scum.

Quote:

Note: I'd be willing to help if you need it for other people too.

Cutlerine August 22nd, 2013 2:25 PM

I've got a few questions more for Sir Bastian's Matthias Winston - he seems an interesting fellow.

What does life hold for you after Gilded Halls? Do you plan to go into a normal line of work, or will you be making full use of your abilities?
In a similar line, what would be your ambition, if you could do anything?
It must have been a pretty dramatic transition - moving from homeschooling to the Gilded Halls. How's it been for you? Has it been a bit of a shock to your system?
At the Gilded Halls, there must be all sorts of weird and potentially lethal powers knocking around - do you feel like it's an environment you can be comfortable in, or is it so unpredictable that it keeps you on edge? Or, to put it a little better, what's the impact of the 'strange powers' aspect on day-to-day life at Gilded Halls?
It's a long time ago, so you might not remember this, but what was it that got you so mad at the other kid in kindergarten that you ended up unleashing your abilities?

Nathan August 22nd, 2013 3:56 PM

  • What is your full name?
    Nathan Steele.
  • When and where were you born?
    I have no idea since I was found in a trash can. But my adopted mother told me that I've been found in Miami and that I am supposed to be born in 1996.
  • Who are/were your parents?
    My biological parents are unknown to me but my adopted mom is Maria Hill.
  • Do you have any family other than your parents?
    I don't even know my real parents but no, I have none.
  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
    No, I do not like to share my past.
  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
    I live in the USA with my adopted mother who is single. She is a 38 years old brunette but she pass for a much younger age. She isn't very tall, around 5'1", she has long hair that she ties in a ponytail. She is usually described as curvy by the men who lust after her. She's kind with me, we joke a lot and she treats me as if I was her real son. Maria is always cheerful, sometimes childish even if she knows when to act mature.
  • What do you do for a living?
    Martial arts' instructor.
  • Do you have any special abilities?
    Yes. When I was a baby, I underwent an operation which drastically enhanced my body. I miraculously survived but somehow the surgeons didn't make it. Now I possess two black wings that I control but do not have total mastery upon, I am very strong, fast and intelligent. Every part of me was enhanced far beyond human's imagination.
  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
    I am considered as a dark person. I'm almost always dressed in black or white. A casual t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. I stand at 6'1", towering above most people. I never knew my weight but I'm normal since I'm neither thin nor fat. I have a muscular body due to trainings. My hair is black and so are my eyes. I do not have any tattoos but a scar on my chest. After all, nothing special.
  • To which social class do you belong?
    The middle class.
  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
    Dunno if this count as disease but my body cells are dying quicker than normal as side-effect of my "operation".
  • What does your voice sound like?
    A deep one.
  • What do you have in your pockets?
    Right now, my phone, my wallet and my PS Vita.
  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
    Sometimes I can just snap of my usual self and become an anger-filled person. I feel the need to beat or even kill these times. Thankfully, these do not happen often.

Sir Bastian August 22nd, 2013 4:00 PM

What does life hold for you after Gilded Halls? Do you plan to go into a normal line of work, or will you be making full use of your abilities?
Oh, wow. Uhm... I haven't really thought about that. I'm not the kind of guy who plans twenty years down the line, you know? I don't even know what I want to do for a living... but yeah, I plan on using my abilities to their fullest. Would be a shame to be able to move stuff around with your mind and not making use of it, you know?

In a similar line, what would be your ambition, if you could do anything?
My ambition? You're really throwing the heavy-hitters after me now! If I could do anything... most people would probably say 'fight crime', but I kind of feel like I wouldn't do too good a job at getting away from the police like Batman does, so heh. I dunno, honestly! Something with meaning, something fun, and something where I can use my abilities.

It must have been a pretty dramatic transition - moving from homeschooling to the Gilded Halls. How's it been for you? Has it been a bit of a shock to your system?
It's definitely... different. We haven't been taught that much at Gilded Halls yet, but it's... nice, to get away from the house. As much as I love my family, it's fantastic to be around others with abilities like myself, just... being myself, rather than having to hide it all the time, you know?

At the Gilded Halls, there must be all sorts of weird and potentially lethal powers knocking around - do you feel like it's an environment you can be comfortable in, or is it so unpredictable that it keeps you on edge? Or, to put it a little better, what's the impact of the 'strange powers' aspect on day-to-day life at Gilded Halls?
It's -awesome-! Would there even be a question? Sure, there's alot of people with weird powers around here, some of them might be a bit dangerous in the wrong hands, but eh, we're all here to learn to control it in one way or another. Plus, I just find it so... interesting, to see someone else handle their ability in ways I couldn't even imagine. Like Selena, one of my new friends, can manipulate plants. She dragged me up to the nurse's office once, using vines that sprouted from her wrists. Now -that- is cool. Even met a guy who could transform into a kangaroo!

It's a long time ago, so you might not remember this, but what was it that got you so mad at the other kid in kindergarten that you ended up unleashing your abilities?
Well, I obviously don't remember myself, I don't really remember anything from way back then besides a few glimpses of memories. However, dad told me that the kindergarden teacher said that it had something to do with the other kid stealing my lunch. Apparently my mom'd prepared me a special snack that day and I really weren't all that happy with him taking it from me, heh...

@JNathan - Nathan Steele

Do you ever wonder who your real parents were?
How was life without a father?
Do you know why you were chosen for the operation?
How was life growing up with this condition?
Are you the only one of your "kind"?
Do you wings prevent you from doing different things?
How does your side affect with your body cells dying faster than normal affect you?
What triggers your "snaps" that cause you to become so angry?
What's the worst thing you have ever done?

-No, they didn't care about me back then and I won't either.
-It was normal, I didn't care. As long as I had Maria, I didn't want anyone else.
-To this day, I still don't know.
-I had to control myself a lot and avoid getting into trouble but thanks to Maria, all went well.
-I know that I'm the first but I don't know if I am the only one.
-No. In fact they aren't always out, they are retractable.
-That means I will age and die quickly if I don't find the proper antidote.
-When I'm in trouble (being attacked), it is triggered.
-I killed all the scientists that participated to my operation on one of my snaps.

Nolafus August 22nd, 2013 5:45 PM

@JNathan - Nathan Steele

What do you see yourself doing in the future?
Are you currently in a relationship?
Do you even know if an antidote exists for your rapid aging?
Are you famous or do you try to keep on the "down-low"?
Do you ever wonder if you're the only one?
Did anyone shun you because of your "powers"?
Were you allowed to play sports either in school or in the community and if yes, did you?
Do you ever wish that the scientists would have picked some other unfortunate soul?
Do you have any friends?
Do you keep your powers a secret or are you public with them?

Maced August 22nd, 2013 7:23 PM

This seems fun! I've been looking for questions to ask myself to help develop my characters. I'll do this with the protagonist of the fic I'm workin' on. I also added a few more questions that were asked to others that really resonated with this particular character.

What is your full name?
Anthony Sommers

When and where were you born?
I was born on February 9th, 1996, on a small forgotten island.

Who are/were your parents?
My parents were Alexia and Curtis.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
Only a best friend who I like to consider as a brother.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
People stuck in the past are unable to work toward a future. They spend more time thinking about what could have been, when they should be focused on, what should they do?

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live on a ship and sail the oceans of the Hoenn region. My shipmates are a rambunctious group of people, but they're very dedicated to what we do. I might even be a little more respected then the 'captain'.

What do you do for a living?
Need I say more? We sail the seas and do whatever we can to survive.

Do you have any special abilities?
Just a man and his will.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

I'm 5'10 and 140 pounds. My eyes are brown, and my hair is some sort of light-brown color. My style of dress? Well, I don't have much of a wardrobe. I also don't bathe and wash my clothes as very often as I would like.

To which social class do you belong?
Is that how society discriminates itself? Who's poor and who's rich? I'm in a class all of my own.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
No...but I do tend to overthink.

What does your voice sound like?
You tell me.

What do you have in your pockets?
Let me see...I have this switchblade and some loose change.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Ha-ha, again, you tell me.

What is your current state of mind?
You have a nice necklace around your neck. Is that real gold?

You know Team Plasma is up to no good. Will you actively stand up to them?
Team what?...Who cares.

Is being a trainer the career you would readily choose?
Pokémon battling is a pissing match used to protect a person's ego. Pokémon trainers are weak. They settle disputes by having others fight for them. I don't like to see pokemon battle each other. I much rather have them on my side. They should work together with humans, doing things that don't involve them killing other Pokémon.

If I was a trainer, I wouldn't have my pokemon battle somebody I personally wouldn't punch in the face.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
I don't know.

Have you had any Pokemon partners so far? If no, would you like to get one?
I don't have or want a pokemon.

What is your favorite species of Pokemon?
Fire pokemon are brutal, and for some reason, I like them.

Don't you hate the fact that there's no police to tackle such obnoxious people? (xD I know I do)
They don't always have to be a uniformed man with a badge on their chest.

Have you ever fallen in love? A crush, perhaps?
The only real crush I had, when I was a kid, was with a girl named Susanne. She was a girl who lived on the Isle I was born on. I'm pretty sure she isn't alive anymore, after all, my friend and I were the only survivors of that Isle. Yeah, and don't ask me how, because I really want to find out too.

What of your education? Have you gone to a trainer's school?
My mom taught me how to read and write.

Do you have any memory of your dad you'd feel comfortable sharing with us?
Dad was great, he taught me how to swim in the ocean, how to catch dinner, how to cut a tree down with a stick and a rock, all sort of neat survival things.

Do you have any sort of criminal record in the past?
Some people might consider me a criminal.

Are you honest with other people, or have you been lying to us all along? You sound and look older than 18, if you don't mind me saying.
I'll be 18 next year. Go ahead and think what you want, but I've been telling you the truth all along. I have no reason to lie.

Who, what or with who would you die for (otherwise go to the extremes)?
Nobody but my shipmates. We might be what you consider a family.

Nolafus August 22nd, 2013 10:31 PM

@Maced - Anthony Sommers

You seem to change the subject whenever it's about the past, why is that?
Do you consider yourself a pirate?
What role do you play on the ship?
What actions have contributed to the others shipmates holding you to such a high level of respect?
What's the worst crime you have committed?
Do you ever want to be captain of your own ship?
Do you see yourself sailing the seas for the rest of your life?
Do you want to start a family?
You seem very out of touch with modern society, is this intentional, caused by being on the sea for so long, or a combination of both?
What's your goal you're trying to reach, if you have one?
Have you had any personal encounters with trainers to spark your dislike of them?


Kanzler August 23rd, 2013 12:58 AM

He's got his guard up, as always. He might need a bit of nudging to get out some meaningful answers.

What is your full name?
Evan Kyong. My name in Korean is Kyong Woo Sung.

When and where were you born?
July 8th, 1997. Pyongyang.

Who are/were your parents?
My father was Kyong Sol Sung. He was a general in the Korean People’s Army. I never really met my mother.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
No, not anymore.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Are these stories usually worth sharing? … Well, I remember the first time going down to the big city while on leave, but you civvies wouldn’t understand that. *smirks*

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live at this … place called Gilded Halls. The students there, they have powers, or abilities, from what I’ve seen. Not that it applies to me, personally. Neither to my roommate, Dominic. He’s alright.

What do you do for a living?
It seems that I’m a student now. I haven’t had much of a living to be honest with you though. I’ve been schooled for my entire life.

Do you have any special abilities?
I think I’ve made that clear already.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I’m Korean, hopefully that tells you enough about the way I look. Haha, no. If I recall correctly I am 5’7”, and I can’t remember the last time I weighed myself. Sorry. I think I dress accordingly. As the situation requires.

To which social class do you belong?
Social class? I really can’t say. I’m a student. I, uh… no. Sorry, I really can’t help you here.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
I really don’t think it wise for me to discuss my weaknesses so publically.

What does your voice sound like?
You’re hearing it right now. You tell me and I’ll think about it.

What do you have in your pockets?
Nothing. I haven’t anything. What does this have to do with anything? My hands. *shrugs*

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
… I … I really … You know, I don’t think these questions are quite relevant.

Ray Maverick August 23rd, 2013 1:52 AM

@BlahISuck
  • Can you tell us more of your school? Do they accepted students without special powers?
  • Are you jealous that others in your school have powers and you don't?
  • Would you kill to acquire such kind of powers?
  • You sound like a careful person. Are you having trust issues? If yes, where does that stem from?
  • Have you ever been 'backstabbed'?
  • Have you ever had friends, or enemies?
  • This school of yours, do you think it's the very key to your future? Or do you think it's just another boring phase of your life?
  • Are you a quiet or awkward (or both) person?
  • What is your current state of mind?
  • Have you ever had any sort of criminal record?

Nathan August 23rd, 2013 6:22 AM

-What do you see yourself doing in the future?
I always dreamed to be a computer programmer.
-Are you currently in a relationship?
None for the moment.
-Do you even know if an antidote exists for your rapid aging?
Yes, there's one and I'll find it at all means.
-Are you famous or do you try to keep on the "down-low"?
I prefer to stay quiet than be a famous dude.
-Do you ever wonder if you're the only one?
I used to but now I don't care.
-Did anyone shun you because of your "powers"?
No, if they did so, they wouldn't be living.
-Were you allowed to play sports either in school or in the community and if yes, did you?
No, I thought it was unfair and it attracted too much attention.
-Do you ever wish that the scientists would have picked some other unfortunate soul?
No. I kinda like my powers.
-Do you have any friends?
I have only 2.
-Do you keep your powers a secret or are you public with them?
They are kept secret except for my 2 friends.

KoolKat vs. Lucas August 23rd, 2013 9:19 AM

When and where were you born?
March 1, 2000, in New Bark Town, Johto.
Who are/were your parents?
Kris Gold Sr. and Jason Gold
Do you have any family other than your parents?
A younger sister, Chris, and a second cousin, Red
Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
No, but I can tell you I defeated my second cousin Red with just a Quilava.
Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live in Goldenrod City, but I travel to newly discovered regions for the Pokemon League.

Pokemon League Champion, of Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Swinnu. I'm saving up money to buy a ticket to the newly discovered Kalos region.
Do you have any special abilities?
Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
OK...
http://i.imgur.com/8msUIfK.png
That's me.
To which social class do you belong?
Upper middle class.
Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
No, except that I'm allergic to Ghost-type Pokemon.

Average voice for a 15-year-old.

Oh yeah, here's a StarterX Magazine from which I'm ordering 62 Cyndaquils. Don't ask, I'm a breeder.
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I have the annoying habit of naming my Pokemon after book animals, especially Harry Potter... I have my PC full of Rattatas named Scabbers and Hoothoots named Hedwig and Pigwidgeon and a Persian named Crookshanks. But otherwise, nothing really.
Your main Pokemon?
Blaze, my Quilava. He's as great as Quilavas can get, and he gets along with pretty much every other Pokemon I have. He also can Surf, due to the incident of his egg hatching at sea.

Other info:
I have a girlfriend, a shiny Shinx, and a Raikou which I obtained when lightning struck my house. I'm 15, almost 16, and I'm the most powerful trainer in the Johto and Kanto regions.

Nolafus August 23rd, 2013 10:59 AM

@KoolKat vs. Lucas - KoolKat Gold

How often are you on the road for the pokemon league?
Do people often underestimate you for your young age?
What's your main party of six pokemon?
What form of transportation will you be using for your trip to Kalos?
Do you plan to become champion of Kalos?
Do you want to catch all pokemon, or just the ones you want to battle with?
When did you start your first journey?
Do you expect anything from your trip to Kalos?
Are you excited about the new pokemon available?
Will you be taking any of your previous pokemon with you, or starting fresh?

I would like some help fleshing out another character, so here I go.
What is your full name?
Badron Simolson

When and where were you born?
Bristol Ca, USA

Who are/were your parents?
My dad, Nolafus, you interviewed earlier remember? My mom died when I was seven, it's been rough, but we've been getting by.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I have a little brother named Kren, he's seven. My grandma and grandpa on both sides are still alive. We don't visit my mom's parents often and we don't visit my dad's parents at all. I'm not exactly sure why to be honest.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
I just got suspended from school. This human kid spilled his lunch on me and when he started apologizing this bigger human kid started saying how humans shouldn't have to apologize to srains. Eventually things got heated between him and me and he threw the first punch. I easily dodged it and punched him back, he went crying to a teacher after that and now I'm suspended.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live in Bristol with my dad and brother. My dad you interviewed earlier so I don't think I have to describe him, but my brother Kren is just like any little kid. He's too innocent to see the unfairness that's going on and it really drives me nuts sometimes.

What do you do for a living?
I'm in seventh grade.

Do you have any special abilities?
No, I'm just a normal Srain.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Well I'm 5'4" and my scales are a dark green. I'm a Srain as stated before and my eyes are green. I'm 125 pounds and my normal wardrobe includes casual clothes. We can't afford anything fancy.

To which social class do you belong?
My dad says we're fine, but I know we're below the poverty line.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Not that I know of.

What does your voice sound like?
Average I guess. That's a tough question to answer with words.

What do you have in your pockets?
Nothing

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Since I have to take up a lot of the responsibility around the house I act old for my age, or at least that's what I've been told. I hate group projects at school and prefer to do work on my own.

KoolKat vs. Lucas August 23rd, 2013 12:18 PM

How often are you on the road for the pokemon league?
Almost 24/7. Mostly on the weekends I relax, but during the week I'm either training or studying techniques.
Do people often underestimate you for your young age?
Mostly Gym Leaders...... and the Pokemon League.
What's your main party of six pokemon?

Blaze (Quilava)
Flash (Luxray)
Draco (Dragonite)
Thundura (from the Swinnu Region)
Raikou (The one I got got from the lightning that hit my house)
Charizard, Swampert, Torterra, or Samurott (Depending on where I am)

What form of transportation will you be using for your trip to Kalos?
Either the S.S. Suicune or by Pokemon League Private Jet.
Do you plan to become champion of Kalos?
Probably. Depends on whether a Fennekin can help me defeat the league there.
Do you want to catch all pokemon, or just the ones you want to battle with?
Mostly a balance. I'm close to catching the entire Johto Dex, and the Kanto Dex isn't far behind. My Hoenn and Sinnoh Dexes are almost empty. However,
my Swinnu Dex is complete. My National Dex is somewhat mediocre. I typically catch everything new I see.
When did you start your first journey?
Age of 12, from New Bark Town. Around 2012.
Do you expect anything from your trip to Kalos?
Mostly new adventures, and maybe a few challenges.
Are you excited about the new pokemon available?
Yes. I'm looking forward to the new starters available. I saw them in the
StarterX Magazine advertisements.
Will you be taking any of your previous pokemon with you, or starting fresh?
I'm keeping Blaze and Flash, and probably Draco. My others will temporarily retire to the PC until I get back to Goldenrod.

Patrick August 23rd, 2013 12:46 PM

I'll give it a shot. I've been writing for this character for over ten years, so I'm certain there aren't too many character loose ends in what can be expected from a general audiences, anything goes comic. Having said that, I'm really aiming to flesh her out in these final stories, so I'm willing to challenge myself with this to see if there's anything I can glean from it.

What is your full name?
Nidorina Schnider. Given that I was born into a large family of Nidoran, I was christened with the family nickname of "Nini". Elsewhere, a Bellsprout started calling me "Nido-san" as a joke, and it stuck for a short while, but fizzled out considering I don't even like the nickname.

When and where were you born?
Plebeian State Park, MT. I can never remember what year I was born. I feel like I've been the same age for years...

Who are/were your parents?
I just call 'em mom and dad. Everyone else calls 'em Mr. and Mrs. Schnider. Also, they're both Nidoran if you couldn't guess...though with Pokemon breeding being as complicated as it is, I guess not. And you might've thought they were like a Nidoking or and Nidoqueen or something. Huh, I guess it really isn't that clear cut.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
Seven siblings, and my Pop Pop (grandfather) is almost always around. Mamaw (grandmother) isn't as close by, but she's still going strong! I've probably got a whole lotta other cousins and uncles and great-this and that three times removed. We breed like, uh, rabbits. :P I also consider myself to have two families, as I'm the godsister (whether they like it or not) of lotsa other creatures. Because of how I was raised, I'm huge on family and closeness.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
My Pop Pop taught me how to trap black bears in the woods. Well, that's not really a story, but I have plenty of childhood memories. Almost all of them good, many of them ending with a butt-whoopin', but not too different than what I'm sure many people have. I guess that could be seen as boring coming from a Pokemon.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Currently, I live in an apartment by myself in Downtown Dream Land, Dream Land being a country on the planet Pop Star. Uh, how I got there is a short but ridiculous story, much like everything else that seems to happen to me. The people are made up of... creatures from video game universes that you're probably familiar with. Pop Starians would be the main population (Kirby's species, Waddle Dees, pyrotechnic clowns, giant hamsters, you know how it is), but we seem to have a lot of Bomber people as well. Humans are more rare, but I've seen a few. If you can name the game, I'm sure I've seen one creature from it around.

What do you do for a living?
I own my own salon. I had to learn to cut my own hair after those two idiots in Johto nearly killed me (how does a botched haircut increase one's happiness?). Turns out I have a real knack for hair! I can even stylize the "hair" of the undead! How's that for skill?

Do you have any special abilities?
Eh, I know some moves like Blizzard for some reason. Pokemon-magic or whatever, don't ask how it works.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Standing on my hindlegs, I'm at least 3 feet tall. Weight, about the same as an average Nidorina (I'm slimmer but larger in scale, so I guess it balances). Race, uh... United States North American? I mean, that's about as in depth as I can get beyond "Nidoran". Quill color is like a sky blue, eye color is reddish. When I do dress up, I tend to get a lot of inspiration from fashion bloggers, so I guess indie-trendy? Did I just make that up? No tats or scars, odd considering how rough I was as a kid.

Distinguishing marks, let's see... As a Nidorina, I do have spots. Funny enough, they're pretty uniform. Three on each thigh, and they start as large at the top of my thigh, then get smaller as they go down my leg. You know, what's weird is that the pattern is symmetrical on both sides, it's as if some sort of powers that be wanted me to be easy to paint if someone ever painted a portrait of me or something.

To which social class do you belong?
Middle. Or about as middle as it'll get for Pokemon. Some of us choose to live like all you humans do, we just keep our societies hidden. ;P

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
No, but I'm prone to inflammation in all the worst, unreachable spots if I ate something that wasn't too kosher.
What does your voice sound like?
A woman in her early-mid 20s. Humans can only hear Poke speak, but I still sound like some girl you probably knew or will know. It's fun to see how many minds I can blow with that. In Dream Land, everyone can understand anybody. You'd think it was wizardry or literary hand waving, but they really just have foreigners go through a "process" that requires you signing a wavier, and a lot of stabbing pain. You still wanna breathe, right?

What do you have in your pockets?
Hammerspace, apparently, and that's when I even have pockets for some reason.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Annoying habits? Hehehe, I am an annoying habit. I know people always tell me "you play too much", but I love to mess around and roughhouse with those close to me. I never take it too far, and I always balance it out by being really sweet, but sometimes I just like to, lovingly, mess with people. You probably shouldn't go to sleep while I'm still awake! Your hand may end up in a bowel of warm water, but I'll leave you with a freshly baked cookie, too.

Overall, I admit I'm offbeat and I wouldn't want to be any other way, but when the time to be respectful and professional comes, I know how to shape up.

Questions for Nidorina Schnider.

You're from Montana and have ended up on another world. Somewhere along the way, you visited Johto. Are you as well-travelled as you seem? If so, could you tell our audience about some of your more exciting experiences?

Continuing with this theme, how do you feel about being so far not only from your home country, but from your home world? It must be quite a feeling.

Any interesting stories from the salon - celebrity customers or other amusing anecdotes?

Dream Land seems to be a place full of many different sorts of people, of all species and ideologies - has this ever got you caught up in any conflicts? Or is it more of an idyll?

A Nidoran isn't exactly large. How do you trap bear? I imagine it must be an ingenious technique.

Is there anyone special in your life? A partner, or someone you'd like to become your partner in the future?

Forgive me, but how on earth do you style hair without thumbs?

Maced August 23rd, 2013 5:27 PM

You seem to change the subject whenever it's about the past, why is that?
I regret it at times.

Do you consider yourself a pirate?
No, not in the slightest, but we are viewed as a reminiscent of Team Aqua because our methods are similar.

What role do you play on the ship?
I'm third in command of the ship, right behind the commander, but mainly its medical support.

What actions have contributed to the others shipmates holding you to such a high level of respect?
My job is to keep my shipmates healthy. Whenever they have an issue they come talk to me. I also assist with day to day operations anyway I can. Mopping the floors, cleaning the barnacles off the bow, even repairing sails. Being out at sea leaves you with a lot of time on your hands. I've used that time to study some medicine.

What's the worst crime you have committed?
Steal money from the first bank to open a branch in the outer islands.

Do you ever want to be captain of your own ship?
No, I'm not much of a leader, but that's not the reason I wouldn't like to be the running the ship. My shipmates deserve a leader far more dedicated than me. We do some bad things, but I don't like to let them define me.

Do you see yourself sailing the seas for the rest of your life?
This is the reason I don't ever want to be a captain. I've always wondered how my life might change if I didn't.

Do you want to start a family?
You mean settle down and have children? No, I'm always on the move. Even if I stopped sailing, I wouldn't like to be bound to the same place. As far as kids go...do you really think some hooligan like me is going to make a great father? I don't want anything holding me back, especially a wife or a child.

You seem very out of touch with modern society, is this intentional, caused by being on the sea for so long, or a combination of both?
I'd say both. We stay as far away from the mainland as possible. In fact, I've never once set foot on the mainland, so I've always been eager to hear to stories of my shipmates who were born there. I would like to visit it one day, but I'm too restricted in my current lifestyle to do so. The Hoenn region is filled with small islands, some uncharted. The smaller islands aren't as developed like the huge cities in the mainland. So we don't get to see many social trends, and frankly we don't care about them.

We came across a private island once, and it's a shame how they could just claim nature as their own. That's why we pillaged it, and burned it to the ground. It wasn't really my idea to do those things. However, orders are orders. We trust our captain.

What's your goal you're trying to reach, if you have one?
I've been looking for one. There isn't much of a life for me here, is there?

Have you had any personal encounters with trainers to spark your dislike of them?
Enough to help me form my opinion about them. Trainers are always the ones that try to screw us over the most since there isn't much of a police force in the Pacifidlog prefecture. A few of my shipmates were once trainers. They gave it up. I think there's a line between people who use Pokémon to achieve things, and those who use Pokémon to help them achieve things. I think trainers fall under the first.

Kanzler August 23rd, 2013 7:48 PM

Can you tell us more of your school? Do they accept students without special powers?
Apparently so! Dom and I, we’re as normal as it gets – maybe that’s why get along pretty well. Judging by what’s been going on so far, I’d imagine that there are more criteria than having “special powers”. I skipped my first two classes – one of which, from what I saw, seemed to be about developing an elemental ability – and there haven’t been any repercussions so far. *stares off in the distance, as if in deep thought* Yes, that would make sense. It’s been very low-stress in general, actually. It’s not what I’m used to, but I can deal with it.

Are you jealous that others in your school have powers and you don't?
We’ll see when we’re put to the test. It matters not whether one has powers - performance in the field is what matters at the end of the day. So no, I’m not particularly jealous. That being said, I wouldn’t mind too much if you could wallop me with some powers right now.

Would you kill to acquire such kind of powers?

The “powers” we’re referring to don’t seem to be relevant so far. I believe there’s nothing that technology, creativity, and intellect can’t accomplish – so these “powers”, I wouldn’t say they’re worth killing for. Whether I would kill or not, that depends what the mission is. But that’s another question altogether. *pause* Sometimes it’s necessary to kill to get the job done, so yes, I’ll leave the possibility.

You sound like a careful person. Are you having trust issues? If yes, where does that stem from?
Maybe I am careful, but I don’t see it as anything out of the ordinary. It’s how I’m used to being and it’s worked out for me quite well. I don’t think I have trust issues – how should I put it – I don’t see mistrust as being an issue. Most of the time you don’t know everything you’d like to know, but what you do know is that there is something that has to be accomplished. So trust, or the lack of I suppose, is an obstacle to be dealt with, but there’s always the bigger picture and that comes first. Oh! You mean trusting the people around me? I’ve only known them for about a day, really, you can’t expect me to be close to them, can you?

Have you ever been 'backstabbed'?
It happens to us all. I think I’m the one who’s been doing more of the backstabbing though, on average.

Have you ever had friends, or enemies?
I had colleages, teammates – yes … some of them were friends. I just haven’t spoken them in a while. It’s nice of you to remind me of that, actually, I haven’t thought about it much recently. As for enemies, I guess I should hate the DPRK for killing my family. I don’t care as much as others would think I should though, I barely knew them. Not even my father. I don’t really hate people.

This school of yours, do you think it's the very key to your future? Or do you think it's just another boring phase of your life?
I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing in life right now, to be honest. I was training to be a soldier, but I have no army to fight for. My headmaster – well former – sent me here, and I’m not training anymore. I haven’t done anything meaningful since I arrived, so I really don’t know what’s going on. I’m happy with the “boring” though, it’s liberating to finally relax for once.

Are you a quiet or awkward (or both) person?
I have … adequate … social skills. Surprisingly with both genders seeing how I only dealt with males for the majority of my life. *awkward pause* I don’t mean for that to come off the wrong way. If I’m quiet, that’s because I’m not one to initiate conversation. Maybe I’m a little quiet.

What is your current state of mind?
This is sounding more like an interrogation every second. I just woke up, so hopefully that’ll be of some help to you. Okay, I’m well rested – which is surprising. I’m doing better than I’ve been for a long time, but I only woke up so I’m not doing all that well right now. Does that make sense?

Have you ever had any sort of criminal record?
I’m a citizen of the United Kingdom, and I haven’t done anything to threaten her peace or security.

Long answers. Don't mind me, just giving details.

You're from Montana and have ended up on another world. Somewhere along the way, you visited Johto. Are you as well-travelled as you seem? If so, could you tell our audience about some of your more exciting experiences?
Sort of. After high school, I joined the US Armed Forces, specifically, the Army. I have my reasons, but for the most part, I really looked up to my Pop Pop. He was a guard Pokemon during World War I, and was even involved in combat. Well, kind of. Before anyone gets excited, Pokemon in the army are (IMO unfortunately) treated like animals. We're like Military Working Dogs, which is unfair because as Pokemon, we're all much smarter than a dog (or any other animal save for some outliers like Slowpoke), and we're not even what you'd classify as an "animal" from a human's point of view. The only Pokemon that get that right-of-passage are the human shaped ones like Machoke and Alakazam, which seems speceist to say the least. I'll get off my soapbox, though.

Of course, Pop Pop didn't have the same, I guess I should call it "progressive" stance in Pokemon-human relations as I do (and to be fair, not all Pokemon do). He was just happy to be involved. He told me so many stories about his time on duty, and I hung onto every word he said.

Anyway, to answer your question, I have traveled to the Middle East while on active duty. That was my first time outside of the US. When I was 24, that's when I ended up in Dream Land, to be given away as someone's starter. It could've happen to anyone, I was just unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And what's even more silly is that I would shortly return to Earth so Dream Landers could have their own "Pokemon Master" experience. That's how I ended up in Johto. And from there you can assume I went through the motions.

I'm not gonna lie, I hated the idea of being someone's trained monkey, especially of someone much younger than me. But my former trainer, Kine, at the time he was just so... meek. And for a giant sunfish he's adorable!
I couldn't be angry with him, he's just a boy. We bonded during our Johto trip, and I made a lot of new friends along the way that I'd never have the opportunity to meet if Dream Landers weren't so overzealous about "doing the Pokemon thing" too. Kine let us all go shortly after the fact, and while he's no longer my trainer, I will always consider him my little brother, because now he's family to me.

Oh, one more thing. It was during the Johto journey that I finally evolved. I figure I was due anyway.


Continuing with this theme, how do you feel about being so far not only from your home country, but from your home world? It must be quite a feeling.
Upset or cheated would be the first feeling I'd imagine most would have. When a Pokemon has a great attachment to their family, being torn away from them is a horrible feeling, and I don't think a lot of trainers-to-be ever consider it. Heck, Kine's other ex-Pokemon Sentret and Vulpix were forcefully orphaned (again, this is not one size fits all. Nidorino, Chikorita and Miltank were happy to leave/travel with Kine).

The thing is, being able to understand each other more as equals (the ability to communicate with one another without barriers aiding to that, no doubt), it wasn't so bad after a while. After all, Kine did give us our freedom. And wouldn't you know it, when he announced he was letting us go, I started to tear up! I couldn't be displaced again! But he let us live with him, and that's probably when all the wackiness really began...

Dream Land also has a massive culture shock. But it's not so much that the culture is different so much as Dream Land's very nature defies what we feel is logical. For heaven's sake, trees that have hanging, detached leaves with no branches whatsoever, stars are all over the place, some of them pass through you like a ghost, and overall, there's a lot of colorful, floaty gravity defying stuff. Rainbow Resort is possibly the epicenter of Pop Star's surreality. It's honestly enough to drive foreigners insane because it's just so... awesome. And I mean that using the original definition. Your mind just can't take it without having adjusted first, unless you're special like Ness who probably sees all kinds of weird stuff in his mind all the time.

Today, I'm used to life on Pop Star. Do I miss my biological family? Every single day, because they are the world to me. Turns out there's a shuttle that travels the cosmos to neighboring stars and planets, but it's really infrequent, and REALLY expensive. I now consider Dream Land my new home. I've already started my life on my own here.

Any interesting stories from the salon - celebrity customers or other amusing anecdotes?
Not really. It's in a rather podunk location. A nice little town, but I only get locals. Then again, the locals come in all forms, and it's a challenge to have to style hair where there isn't any... I managed to give Kirby a 'do. Very short, but I somehow made it work. I have my work cut out for me.

Those two brothers from Johto? They lost their business because of me. :P Twice. I wonder what they're doing now? Are they still cutting hair? Tell 'em to hang it up already if so.

Dream Land seems to be a place full of many different sorts of people, of all species and ideologies - has this ever got you caught up in any conflicts? Or is it more of an idyll?
Most Dream Landers, at least the denizens, mind their own business. It's a simple place where people are content to just eat and sleep. It's kind of a lazy place to live, which is probably why Dedede feels like he can just walk all over everybody, and Meta Knight wishes to see a change. Nevertheless, there's still schools and businesses, so life does go on as you'd imagine, but the pace is WAAAAY slower than in the United States. Slower even than some European countries.

You're not without your trouble makers. The Poppy Bros, those pyrotechnic clowns I mentioned, basically troll for a living. Kracko has it out against Kirby, and since we live close to Kirb, Kracko usually comes by to cause trouble, and we're just a war causality to him. Bronto Burt is just mean to everyone.

As for outsiders, some of them cause trouble. Some of them are downright sinister. I actually had to infiltrate Dracula's castle, once (yes, THAT Dracula. Ever played a Castlevania?). There was a whole legion of evil thing going on, there. Eggman was there, Wily was there, we were up to our eyeballs in mooks and minions across worlds, that's for sure.

So yeah, there's never a dull moment, but Kirby and his friends usually handle the dirty work. I mostly just play with my play-cousins or cut some hair.

A Nidoran isn't exactly large. How do you trap bear? I imagine it must be an ingenious technique.
My Pop Pop knows a lot. As stated, he was in the army and learned a few basic survival techniques there. However, he's also really old, and with age comes experience! My family does live in a state park, afterall, so we needed to be careful about wolves and bears. Black bears aren't necessarily a threat to us, they're just hungry, but you're correct, they outmatch us in strength. As a species, we Nidoran have very few predators, because our toxic glands will kill anything that eats us instantly (talk about your last meal, hyuk). We're like snakes or wolf spiders but way cuter and fuzzier (well, Nidoran are. Nidoqueen/king become all scaly instead).

Having said that, a scavenging bear won't hesitate to beat us down if it must, so we have to protect ourselves and the bear in the most humane way possible. We dig very deep burrows, and then cover it up while leaving bait nearby. We did this often while camping, and Nidoran make great tunnelers. Should the night go by without any bears, we spring the trap ourselves so that no animal falls in unintended. If we DO catch a bear (or a wolf or something), we wait until it tires itself out, or becomes sleepy. Then we leave behind a ladder so it can get out. Yes, bears CAN climb a ladder! We don't trap these animals for kicks, it's just for our safety. Since we intend no harm, we always make sure the animal can go on living after the fact.

Is there anyone special in your life? A partner, or someone you'd like to become your partner in the future?
Yes!His name is Nidorino Eto, he was caught as a Nidoran Male during our Johto adventure. At the time, I didn't really notice him, I was infatuated with Bellsprout, who belonged to Kine's rival. Bellsprout was probably the first person I ever fell in love with, as previously I just didn't have time for that. It didn't really work out. He was oblivious and I wasn't getting anywhere. However, Bellsprout remains one of my best friends.

Nidorino, on the other hand, uh... well he's naive, unlucky, sheltered and a man-child to say the least. These days, though, he seems to be maturing, and he's doing his best to become a well rounded individual. On the other hand, I know what it's like to be immature and childlike even as an adult, and I'm older than he is. Frankly, I found his mannerisms both cute and funny, and being the oldest in my biological family, I'm used to being the caretaker. He just reminds me so much of my own siblings that I grew attached to him. Plus, I get to brag and say I have a significant other from across the globe!

I hope to get married soon-ish. Sounds silly, "why does a Pokemon need to get married"? And again, it's not a one size fits all. We don't, but some of us just like your human lifestyle and we mimic it! :D Why do I wear clothes on occasion? Because I find the outfits cute! Why does anyone do anything? Don't judge me. :I

Forgive me, but how on earth do you style hair without thumbs?
Who said anything about not having the appropriate opposable digits?
http://aquabunny.creativeworlds.net/SiteImages/dumbstuff/hand.gif
You'd be amazed at what we monsters can accomplish with a minimum of three fingers, toes or claws. Just ask Meowth!
http://aquabunny.creativeworlds.net/SiteImages/dumbstuff/combcatch.gif
The real question is how Miltank holds anything. Those hooves aren't at all flexible!


Kanzler August 24th, 2013 5:39 PM

So, Evan, has anyone asked you which part of Korea you are from?
Haha, that’s an interesting one. Surprisingly, no - or I don't remember. Half the people I’ve met haven’t heard of it or aren’t aware there are two of them, and I think the other half assume that nobody gets out of the North.

Since you are rather quiet, were you ever bullied, as a child or as an adult?
Maybe. Everybody’s been teased for some reason or another, there’s nothing memorable for me. I think I’m quiet because I’m not close to anybody. I haven’t had the chance for the past few years though, maybe things will change. *shrugs*

What is your biggest fear?
*smiles* You know what? I don’t know. Perhaps death. It’s ironic, okay, maybe slightly unexpected – or not to be honest – soldiers of all people should be prepared for death, that’s what I’m trying to get at. But I think I fear death most. After everything I’ve been through I’m still alive, so that fear has to count for something. No, everybody fears death. I don’t know what I’m afraid of. *shrugs again*

Do you have any hobbies, something you do with your spare time?
Haha, I can fence and shoot. I also like orienteering in the field. I’m pretty good at all three. I’m a bit of a physical being. *blushes* I read too.

What's your biggest accomplishment?
Getting myself here. *smiles grimly* I’ve been face to face with death, but I’m still around.

How would you like to die?
In such a way that my death would not be in vain.

What are your views on religion?
It hasn’t really touched me, to be honest. It’s something that some people believe, but it’s something that I don’t often encounter. It’s not particularly useful to me anyways, I’m sure you know what I mean.

HearttheWolf August 27th, 2013 10:51 PM

(Just gonna throw out that I LOVE this idea. A lot.)

What is your full name?
Spade Thirteen.

When and where were you born?
I was born... uh.. somewhere near a city called 'Ascent' *shrugs* I don't think my parents had a place to live back then. My birthday is December 16th, 3256. I'm 15 years old.

Who are/were your parents?
My mom's name is Sight, and my Dad's name is-... I suppose you want the legal name? Technically it's 'Thirteen'. He was given the name 'Ark' by the town's people. As a reference to the bible story. So, we kept the 'Thirteen' as my family's last name. It's a long story. Basically, he saved a lot of people.

... Don't spread that around. Who my dad was is a family secret.... He... doesn't talk much anymore.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I have my little sister - Leah.... I have an aunt too, but her and my mom don't talk anymore.
... I also got a uncle - on my dad's side, but I really don't want to think of him that way.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
What past? My past, or my family's? ... Since this interview is about me, I'm gonna guess you mean mine. ... *sigh*. Okay, okay. Here goes.

Well, a couple months ago, I followed my sister into this weird cave... She was acting pretty weird that day, so mom wanted me to tail her just in case she got into trouble.... Yeah, okay, I would have tailed her anyway if I found out she was wandering off somewhere. Anyway, when I went in, in short, my energy was merged with another entity's energy that was inhabiting that cave. So now, ... there's two people in my body. Me, and 'Ace'... My sister came up with the name for him... you know, Ace of Spades.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Hah....Unintended pun. I'm ignoring it and moving on.

I live with my mother, my sister and.... obviously.. and a lot more personally.. Ace. We all live in an abandoned laboratory a bit outside Ascent.

Mom is.. motherly? I dunno. She gets mad easily.. Really bad for holding grudges. She never really goes in the middle, always kinda jumps to extremes. She's pretty secretive.. never really goes out much (she's a stay-at-home mom). Uh.. She's pretty protective over me and my sister.... and dad. She's really... devoted.

Now for Leah... She's ... also pretty secretive. She has a power that lets her see into the future sometimes. So she tries to take it upon herself to stop it if it's a bad thing.. Though it never seems to work. She was really supportive of me when I needed it - or others need it. She really tries to be understanding. I'd like to think we're pretty close. I'll admit that I'm pretty protective over her.

Last.. Ace. *sigh* Okay, I'll be honest here. Yes, he's really annoying, and yes, he tries his best to get on my nerves all the time, and yes, he's gotten me in trouble way too many times to count.... But. He's also a friend. Ace is a people-person, while I am not. He really tries to get me more social.. which doesn't always work. He likes playing match-maker.
I suppose we bounce off each other well, we complement each other. It's weird.. We're nothing alike in some ways, but sometimes it seems we're almost identical.
... He also makes me laugh sometimes too.

What do you do for a living?
Full-time student. I'm in Grade 10... I'm also the drummer in a band me and my friends put together called 'Chronic Beat'.

Do you have any special abilities?
I can teleport. As long as I can picture exactly where I'm going in my head. If you wan to know exactly how my teleportation works.. It's not that difficult. I'm able to.... basically rip apart my body atom by atom, then said atoms travel at light speed to the location I pictured in my head.. when they get there, they form back up.

Also.. Does being able to switch to Ace count? He has his own set of powers..

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Okay...
Height: I'm not counting the height my hair gives me. I'm about 5'4.

Weight: Ugh.. This one is difficult. See, I'm paraplegic - I can't use my legs because of a spinal cord injury when I was very young - but I can still stand because I use my powers to make my legs more dense so I have a good base. The only way I can move is through teleporting. So.. my weight.. varies.

Race: I'm half oriental (My mom is pure Chinese), and ... my dad is just a mix of everything.

Hair Colour: Black with cobalt blue streaks .. It's pretty long, and I spike it up for a style.

Eye Colour: Green and brown. ... Or hazel. Whatever you wanna call it.

Style of Dress: Usually, I wear a turquoise turtle neck with a blue vest and full-length, beige pants. I usually roll the sleeves on my turtleneck up... I got a beige and orange headband - the orange part is like a gradient.. goes from light to dark. .... Oh, and my left ear is pierced with a large silver ring.

Distinguishing Marks: Uh.. I have freckles on my cheeks and nose?

(Author's Note: Look at my avatar basically XD)

To which social class do you belong?
... Middle? I guess...?

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Already told you I'm paraplegic.

What does your voice sound like?
I have no idea. That's not something that's easy to describe.
(Author's Note: Think.. maybe a slightly younger version of Robin from Teen Titans)

What do you have in your pockets?
Uhm.. *digs*... A folded piece of paper.. *opens* Oh, It's a drum tab for a song the band is gonna cover.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I know I get angry too easily - especially if someone does anything against my sister, or any close friends - and I know that when I do get mad... I tend to threaten people.
I'm also a bit OCD... but I have to be. I don't want to teleport into a chair that was left in the middle of my room.

Questions for Spade Thirteen.

Where does your name come from? Has it any significance, or is 'Spade' simply a common name by the year 3256? (You must forgive my ignorance. I am from the past.)

Why don't your aunt and mother talk any more? And, along the same lines, why don't you want to consider your uncle an uncle?

You say Ace has his own set of powers. Could you elaborate on that?

Speaking of Ace, do you know exactly what he is?

And, furthermore, could you go into a little more detail about what it's like to share your body with someone like that? I can't imagine it's easy.


Questions for Yuromi Katagoto:

You don't give much away, do you? I suppose you probably can't give a straight answer, but what line of work are you in, exactly? Your wording was a little ominous.

What hopes do you have for the future?

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

Any talents? And anything you view yourself as especially bad at?

I guess people here just got bored of the normal names and started thinking of different ones. Names here are mixed up between strange ones and normal ones.. For example.. My best friend is named 'Evan', but another one of my friends is named 'Muze'. It just depends on the parents.

Why don't your aunt and mother talk any more? And, along the same lines, why don't you want to consider your uncle an uncle?
How did I know you would ask this? Okay, first things first. Mom basically betrayed her sister - along with the rest of her organization - when she helped out my dad. Mom is pretty sure she's still working for them.. so, she doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

Now... about my "uncle"... Well, the closest thing dad has to a brother.... well that's Ace. And If I thought of him as an uncle, our whole situation would get a lot more weird.... Plus, He looks about my age.

You say Ace has his own set of powers. Could you elaborate on that?
Yeah, I guess. See, Ace has a lot more energy then me - when I say 'energy', I mean, basically, it's what we are... a soul sorta, but it also is what we feed off of when we use our powers. Anyway, when Ace takes control, he uses that energy to.... energize my legs, so they work, and he can also use it to fire beams of energy... and he can sort-of-but-not-really fly for a bit. He can't do much of that for long though, if he wastes too much energy, he reverts back to me.

Speaking of Ace, do you know exactly what he is?
Other then being my uncle? Yeah. He's a being of pure energy.... When he..... before he was stuck inside the cave. In short, he got so much power, that he destroyed his own body with it.

And, furthermore, could you go into a little more detail about what it's like to share your body with someone like that? I can't imagine it's easy.
You want my honest answer I guess? Well, other then being chained forever to someone I would rather throw over a cliff then hang out with.. It has it's ups and downs. He's getting better at now just taking over randomly... but I still get odd looks when I 'talk to myself'. No one else can see him.

I have to say though, he adds something different to my life, I mean, because of him I've been trying and doing things that I never would have before. Learning a lot about my family's past that my mom would rather forget, or just didn't know (Though I had to stop him from yelling these things out several times during class).. I gotta admit, it's... interesting. But now that I've been stuck with him all this time, .... I really can't imagine it any other way. ...... But don't tell my mom that. She'd kill us both. Seriously. I'm really not kidding.

Garet August 28th, 2013 1:34 PM

What is your full name?
...Vallckran Vor'lero. Most know me as Vallckran the Warlord, so you will refer to me as such.

When and where were you born?
Seventy years ago. The time of year is not of concern. I came from Acanthus, at the peak of the Montajo Range. Also not of concern to you, unless you're a dragon yourself.

Who are/were your parents?
I was sired by Ratimir Vor'lero, one of the dragonlords of Acanthus and a Garchomp himself. Pure dragon, and a pure Garchomp lineage. He would've considered it sacrilege to muddy the bloodline with anything else.

My mother was Tihana, also a Garchomp. Ratimir counted himself lucky that she, too, was of a pure bloodline. Rare occurrence these days.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
...Normally, I would not speak of such a thing in another's presence, especially that of a non-dragon.

Technically, at one time I had a half-brother. Suffice it to say, it was not until about fifty years ago that Ratimir and I learned of his existence. Before long, both my half-brother and mother died.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Yes, though I will not share the minute details with you. I was twenty-one years of age when, as a Gabite in the common ranks, Aion, a son of the king, set out with his armies to conquer Altica. A civil war between him and his brother followed after.

For my part, I showed no mercy to those whom I fought. Nor did I care for prisoners of war. When I did get other soldiers under my command, we were ruthless and efficient. In some manner, I had grabbed enough of Aion's attention to be promoted. Perhaps it was that one ambush I helped orchestrate. No enemy survivors.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Where does a soldier live while on duty? A captain? A general? As for those I work with, too many are pa-- non-dragons. All counted together, those of my rank or higher, which aren't many... not many are of special note.

One Pokemon I work with is Ser Mantarys, a bloodthirsty Krookodile whom I would bet on to win a fight any day. He is too...short-sighted, for us to be any more than acquaintances. Mantarys lives for food, gold, women...really, his only saving qualities are his battle prowess and the fact that he'd made his way to Captaincy of the Crimson Company. I suppose being a reptile puts him above other non-dragons, but only slightly.

What do you do for a living?
...As if I didn't spell it out already. I am a Captain of the Crimson Company, a mercenary group, though I work for King Aion. I already told you many Pokemon know me as the Warlord.

Do you have any special abilities?
I'm a Garchomp, if you haven't noticed. A dragon. That alone makes me special. ...By that statement, dragons in general are special. In my case, I have learned how to poison others in combat. And not many dragons are able to utilize Draco Meteor.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
...Fine. Average height of a Garchomp is six-foot-three, average weight is about 209 pounds. I'm half a foot taller, have more muscle mass. Those of the Crimson Company commonly wear the black band with the red heart, the group's symbol. Myself, I wear what you'd call a Shell Bell around my neck, painted black with the same red heart.

To which social class do you belong?
Upper. Crimson Captains don't get minimum payment, nor should dragons.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
What kind of a-- 'hem. Only those standard for Garchomps.

What does your voice sound like?
Rough, deep.

What do you have in your pockets?
What pockets?

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I'm prone to eating non-dragons. Meat's my favorite, and it's not necessarily from just the 'wild' Pokemon of Altica.

I'm sure someone somewhere would call me a supremacist. I admit to it, but it's tempered with the reality that I must work alongside non-dragons. Now if only a real dragon were on the throne...

Ray Maverick August 28th, 2013 2:02 PM

To Vallckran:

  • You seem proud to be a dragon. Would you see the other types of Pokemon wiped from the earth, or do you simply consider them lesser beings?
  • What are your religious beliefs?
  • Is any member of your family still alive? If no, would you be dedicated in 'keeping the bloodline pure'?
  • What do you like most of your job, if not the food, the money and the women?
  • Would you ever fight Ser Mantarys for the leadership of the Crimson Company?
  • Are you a friend of the King, or even devoted to him? Or would you turn on him on the best opportunity?
  • Are you an honest person, or do you some times lie?
  • If you were to die, how would you like it to be?
  • How do you describe your childhood in general?
  • As a child, what were your family's expectations from you?
  • Who has the most influence on you? Be it a real person or a God.
  • There is a town of 300 rebels. Another 100 of those rebels are attacking a lawful town of the Kingdom. Do you defend, knowing you can save the town, or do you attack, knowing you can take down many more of them?


Alright, so I thought this would be a fun thing to do for the character of my fics, Shango. I've never thought to interview him




Spoiler:



What is your full name?
Shango Skidred Maverick.

When and where were you born?
I was born in a house by the river. My father tossed me into it. I am now 34 years old.

Who are/were your parents?
My parents were assassins of the Hashashin Order: Alexander Maverick & Alice Ancelotti. They were falsely accused of 'incest' between the Five Families of the Hashashin (the Mavericks and the Ancelottis) by the Master of the Order at that time, Ignacio Phylax. As I discovered later, Ignacio killed them to preserve the secret of the crystals that hold unimaginable power, the darkstars; my father had once stolen one of these from him.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I am the last Maverick. But I have more relatives from my mother's side than I care to count. The Ancelotti family was always the biggest one. All of them are Hashashin, too, though I've never met many of them. I have no children, not that I know of, at least... I mean, I've been with many women, and you know how these things are. I'm not married either. Though, there was this lady I met, years ago... her name was Claire. I'm not saying I'd like to marry her, but she has quite shaken my interest for other sexual partners.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
My father ripped me out of my mother's belly as she was about to give birth, and then threw me in the river nearby. The Hashashin were coming, you see, to bring justice for my parent's "incestuous" relationship, and he decided I had more chances to survive in the river than in the hands of the Hashashin. That's where my parents died, while I was found by an Ionian nobleman further down the river. His name was Ascendio, and he was very rich. He adopted me and I lived the glamorous childhood of an Ionian nobleman who showed great potential at the Academy of War; my step father had me destined to carve my path in the Ionian Verdict, you see, an organization which protected our home city from outer threats.

I don't like to admit it, but I not always did what I was told as a child. I was grateful for Ascendio's care. He raised me to be noble, and kind. I had to put these traits away, in order to become the perfect assassin. Some things from my early education, both as a person and academic, have remained, though. I maintain the clear state of thinking.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
My detailed answer would be complicated and confounding, so I will sum it up otherwise for you: I live with nobody, nowhere. My life goals require me to travel constantly.

What do you do for a living?
I'm an assassin. I make money out of taking other people's lives, but I am picky about my contracts. I do not take lives who have not added to the sorrow of this world.

Otherwise, I hunt for meat in the forest. My best friend, Hector Imperatore, who is a legendary hunter, taught me his secrets, though not all of them. He doesn't like competition. Haha... it's silly. He's no match for me as an assassin, and I am no match for him as a hunter, though the two are similar, if you think about it.

I'm not shamed to say I steal food when I crave for it. I've never been caught as a thief before, so if nobody notices, I might as well steal what somebody else would steal.

Do you have any special abilities?

I am the Phantom Dancer. I can step through the shadows, I am so fast the common eye can't catch me. My right hand has been touched by a darkstar, adopting its destructive powers; the Night Slash of the claws of my right hand instantly kills what they go through, leaving no marks once the liquid darkness is vanished. The Phantom Dancer is in essence granted the abilities of the perfect killer. I am that killer.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

I'm of the average height and weight of a Zangoose, and more muscled and thin than others of my species. Right now, my facial hair is wild, messy and spiky; I usually trim it short, but my current mission requires me to look like another Zangoose, who had his hair cut that way... I have a scar on my belly from a healing wound, and I have no red markings of a thunder across my eyes, as most Zangoose do.

I have cut off my tail, in order to wear the cloak of the Hashashin, which completely conceals my species.

Girls often tell me I look handsome, and I believe them. I seem to possess a charm that's rare for the males of my species - I can, in fact, seduce females, be it with my looks or wits.

To which social class do you belong?
Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Weaknesses of mine are love and compassion. The perfect killer has no conscience; only objectives. And I have let my kind nature get in the way of my goal as the Phantom Dancer too many times already.

I loved a girl, once, who died because she was involved in my life as an assassin. She had been my greatest weakness, I would say.

My other weakness is Tristana, the spirit of fire (I believe Victini was the name of the species) who follows me around... I love her... in a different way than Claire. I love her like a friend. She sees me otherwise, perhaps that's why she's following me everywhere, but I have rejected her. I feel sad about her feelings, but I do not regret my words to her.

What does your voice sound like?
I can imitate a lot of voices and take on different tones, as my job some times requires. I can sound sweet, soft, menacing or evil if I want. My voice, otherwise, is charming, exactly what a proper man needs.

What do you have in your pockets?
Blades.
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I'm a perfectionist. Once the plan is set, I will do everything in my power for it to go accordingly. If something goes wrong, I get frantic and my nerves often lead me to snap, but lately I have learned to keep that under control.

@Garet - Vallckran Vor'lero

Why do you hold dragons so highly?
Does your entire culture hold dragons highly, or is it only your family?
What was your proudest victory?
Has your army ever been defeated?
Do you ever think about starting a family?
Do you have any close friends?
Tell us more about eating other pokemon, are wild pokemon capable of free thought and speech, or are they just animals?
How was life growing up?

Garet August 28th, 2013 3:22 PM

You seem proud to be a dragon. Would you see the other types of Pokemon wiped from the earth, or do you simply consider them lesser beings?
Yes. Both, if 'yes' confuses you. I would put the other types of Pokemon at the bottom of everything, if I didn't find a way to completely exterminate them.

What are your religious beliefs?
Do I believe in Arceus? Yes. Do I think he has any interest in this world as it is now? I doubt it. He probably doesn't actively affect it anymore, but it would be crazy for some Pokemon to, say, propose that all this came from some sort of big bang.

Is any member of your family still alive? If no, would you be dedicated in 'keeping the bloodline pure'?
My father died some years ago. It was never sure if it was by natural means, or orchestrated. I do have a mate and a youngster, but I don't contact them much anymore.

And yes, the bloodline must remain pure. I don't want any non-dragons for descendants.

What do you like most of your job, if not the food, the money and the women?
...The challenge is one reason why I looked to ascend through the ranks, but there hasn't been all that many challenges lately. And higher rank means I can do more to promote dragons. ...*won't admit feeling that job is lacking something*

Would you ever fight Ser Mantarys for the leadership of the Crimson Company?
Of course. That lizard would probably lead the Company to its doom if he was left to make the administrative decisions.

(Wait...tell me again...He WHAT?!)

~~~~~
*some time later, after fit of rage*

Are you a friend of the King, or even devoted to him? Or would you turn on him on the best opportunity?
...No, you can't be a spy. I am...devoted, to him. You could consider me to be his closest 'friend'. ...but only so long as there's no chance to take him down. I didn't get to be a Crimson Captain without learning to obey those I can't get rid of or replace.

Are you an honest person, or do you some times lie?
Again, how did I get to be a Crimson Captain? Lies have been necessary at times.

If you were to die, how would you like it to be?
Either in battle, or of old age. Preferably in battle.

How do you describe your childhood in general?
Tough and toughening. Being a dragonlord and a warrior in his time, Ratimir did not raise his hatchling to be a simpering wimp. Then I got to the age of...twelve? or was it fourteen? Around that time, I was more or less kicked out the door. According to Ratimir, it was time I learned to live on my own.

As a child, what were your family's expectations from you?
Ratimir wanted a son who would continue the heritage of a strong, pure dragon bloodline, who would lead other Pokemon. He also threw in a tough training regime. I didn't see much of Tihana.

Who has the most influence on you? Be it a real person or a God.
Myself. Not what you're looking for? King Aion, then. I'd actually consider him to be my closest non-dragon associate.

There is a town of 300 rebels. Another 100 of those rebels are attacking a lawful town of the Kingdom. Do you defend, knowing you can save the town, or do you attack, knowing you can take down many more of them?
...Depends. Actually, no, I'd attack. Chances are, if the lawful town is comprised mainly of dragons, they can defend themselves. The less non-dragons there are in the world, the better.

Now to address the second interrogator here.

Why do you hold dragons so highly?
I'm a dragon, and it's how Ratimir raised me. Can you honestly name any one species that is inherently better overall than dragons? We're stronger, we have better masterminds, nothing preys on us...need I go on?

Does your entire culture hold dragons highly, or is it only your family?
I'm not sure all of Acanthus does. If they really did believe that, then they should have come out of seclusion long before now.

What was your proudest victory?
I'd say it was near the end of the civil war about 49 years ago or so. I was in command of my own regiment, and some portion of Aion's soldiers were somewhat holed up in and around Skyhaven. ...I hate to admit it, but a Zoroark's illusions are very useful. But it was I who had the idea to round up Zoroarks to create a large illusion that scared the enemy army into turning tail to flee. Right into the steel trap that I headed. As I'd said before, despite the numbers being against us, no enemy survivors. I consider this to be what really kicked my career into motion.

Has your army ever been defeated?
There were defeats during the civil war, yes. After that...not really.

Do you ever think about starting a family?
...Refer to my answer to one of the first interrogator's questions. A Garchomp for a mate, and a child. Not much contact with them.

Do you have any close friends?
Not particularly. Aside from King Aion and the other Crimson Captains, there's a Psychic who works for me and me alone. An...exception, among non-dragons.

Tell us more about eating other pokemon, are wild pokemon capable of free thought and speech, or are they just animals?
Understand that I refer to them as wild Pokemon in order to differentiate. Wild Pokemon are just animals, pretty much a food source for sentient Pokemon. Just as animals in your world are a food source for you.

How was life growing up?
I have answered that question in part, in reply to the first interrogator. Regarding other hatchlings in Acanthus, I did not have much interaction with them that did not directly relate to some training or education or another. Ratimir didn't want a social Butterfree for a son, either.


...How did I forget the fact that you two are likely non-dragons?

Sir Bastian August 30th, 2013 4:52 AM

What is your full name?
Kalden. Just Kalden. It's pronounced 'Kal den', like there's a space between them.

When and where were you born?
I was born eighteen years ago, in Republic City, on Airtemple Island.

Who are/were your parents?
My mother is the great-granddaughter of Avatar Aang and my father works for the government. You know, boring stuff. Not saying the stuff he does doesn't matter, but -I- just couldn't care less about it. That said, I still respect my parents. My mother and the rest of my family taught me everything I know about airbending!

Do you have any family other than your parents?
*He lets out a laugh* Do I? Airtemple Island is pretty much just full of my family alone, plus some acolytes and whatnot. Let's see... there's my parents, my mother's siblings, -their- kids, my grandmother, my -grandmother's- siblings... well, there's alot of us around! Definitely wasn't boring growing up there. Or well... it kind of was. But not in terms of having someone to play with!

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Well... I was born about the same time as Avatar Korra died, so when I turned five, I was brought to this... 'Avatar Training Camp', along with like, thirty other kids, for us to train with the teachers there for about a year, to find out which of us would be the Avatar. I was only five, so I don't remember alot from back then, but... it was fun, and interesting. Suffice to say, I wasn't the Avatar, but eh, I don't mind that much. I like my airbending, I don't really need the pressure of being the world's saviour and all that. Plus, I've got my Pro Bending matches to take care of!

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I only just moved into Republic City. I felt like it was time for me to get out of the hair of my parents and everybody else on the island. I do visit them every so often, train with them and the like, but I mainly live in an appartment on the harbor. Cheap, not that amazing, but it's home!

What do you do for a living?
I do Pro Bending! Oh, uh... if you didn't know, Pro Bending is a sport in Republic City. Three people on each team use their bending only, to try and knock the other team back, or even off the platform they're on, suspended above water. You're forced to get into shape, think on your feet and roll with the punches, if you wanna be good at Pro Bending. And my team, we're some of the best in all of Republic City. *He gives a grin and moves his arms behind his head* ... It doesn't pay anything though, unless you'd win the tournament. So I have a part-time job at a restaurant near the park to make money for the rent and... well, food.

Do you have any special abilities?
I'm an airbender, if you hadn't figured that out already, hahah! I'm able to control wind, basically, just like how there are those who can control earth, water, fire and even metal.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I'm, uh, pretty tall for my age. At least, that's what people tell me. I'm pretty lean, I'm an airbender. My hair's black, and I like having it in a ponytail at the back of my head. I've got brown eyes.
I don't like dressing like a 'traditional' airbender, if that makes sense. So I've modified my outfit a little, made it more... modern. I'm not really into fashion, but there's no reason to look like a monk when you're a Pro Bender, right? Gotta keep up your appearance!

To which social class do you belong?
Uhm, I guess that'd be the middle class? Lower middle, if you think of my income? Eh, not that important to me, as long as I get something to eat and I can focus on my bending.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Not really! My mother's always told me I was a healthy kid, it takes alot to knock me out. Figuratively and literally, hahah!

What does your voice sound like?
Well, as far as I know... hrmh, mi mi miii. Hello? Hello? Yeah, I'd say it's... not really that deep, but not 'squeaky' or light.

What do you have in your pockets?
Erh... let's see... I've got... a couple of yuans, a half-eaten chocolate-and-nuts-snack... and some lint. *He gives a smile and promptly starts chewing on the snack he found*

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Quirks? Well, I suppose I can be a bit show off-y, but who wouldn't be, when you're one of the best Pro Benders in the city, right? Besides, life isn't worth living if you can't get some enjoyment out of it, and I -love- seeing how people react to what I do. I pull a few pranks here and there, but I don't -hurt- people with them. Or, at least I don't mean to. Not that it wasn't funny seeing Lee falling falt on his rump when I moved that chair away. Heh, priceless.

Cutlerine August 30th, 2013 7:28 AM

Questions for Shango:


What was your greatest kill?

If you steal and hunt, then where exactly does all the money you earn go? If you do earn money, do you feel there's any moral contradiction in not spending any of that on food while you deprive others of it?

Tell us a bit more about these darkstars, and clarify what being touched by one means for our audience.

Do you fear anything?

Now that you've embarked on this way of life, how do you think it will come to an end? Is it even possible for someone like yourself to retire? Or is this not something you've thought about yet?

What is most precious to you?

(SHANGO!) Shango, have you always been alone? (SHANGO!) Shango, have you never loved again?


Questions for Maria Renée:

It must have been quite traumatic; how did you feel when you realised your brother was lost?

It must also have been quite traumatic to be suddenly ripped from one world into another. How did you handle the transition between the real world and the virtual?

On a related note, what will it be like to get back to the real world after this?

Do you know what happened to your brother at all? How do you feel about it, or, if you don't know, about not knowing?

What do you do when you're not playing the flute?

You said you were working to defeat the game. What does that entail, exactly?


Questions for Kalden:

You gave us intriguing hints of uniform modification. What is it you wear, exactly?

You seem like someone who's got themselves into fairly major trouble at least once with their ability. Have you got any interesting stories of that sort to tell?

Are you in a relationship, or do you plan to be? If so, do you have your eye on anyone in particular?

Any particular rivals on the Pro Bending circuit?

Any interesting things coming up for you in terms of work or other major events?

Ray Maverick August 30th, 2013 8:21 AM

What was your greatest kill?
I could not reach my target from the ground, so I had to climb the Cathedral. I leaped from a height of hundred and twenty feet down at him. I was kind of a fool then, as a child... I risked injury, if not death. But you know, a little artificial luck helps things.

If you steal and hunt, then where exactly does all the money you earn go? If you do earn money, do you feel there's any moral contradiction in not spending any of that on food while you deprive others of it?
I don't collect money. I spend it at once, and I steal only when in need. And I like to think that I deserve some of the fruits of this world, given that I have devoted my life to saving it... I'm not the kind of hero who's well known and appreciated, anyway. I'll never get credit for what I do, and I've accepted that long ago.

Tell us a bit more about these darkstars, and clarify what being touched by one means for our audience.
I'm afraid I can't tell you about the darkstars. If I do, I'll have to kill you. That's what the Hashashin do. Their original purpose was to preserve the secret of those crystals, so they became assassins... now they are corrupted, working for the enemy. I plan to take over as their Master with a conspiracy I have forged, and set a new direction to the order.

I suppose I can tell you a few things. When I was young and ignorant about the crystals, I happened to touch one. Normally, that would have killed me. Not everyone is able to hold a darkstar. You have to have the... right genes, somebody once told me. You have to be a voidborn. Descendant of the Stranger (or else, the Phantom Dancer) himself. And I'm his very reincarnation. These darkstars... I suppose they're connected to him. That explains why I absorbed some of the power of the crystal as I touched it, into my right hand. Sometimes, it aches and burns, as if the darkness it sucked in wants to get out. Puzzling, I know, and I intend to find some answers about that very soon.

Do you fear anything?
Secretly, I fear the day my enemies will succeed in using the darkstars to establish their tyrannic rule over the land. But I'm confident I will succeed in killing every single one of them. Even if it means starting a war.

Now that you've embarked on this way of life, how do you think it will come to an end? Is it even possible for someone like yourself to retire? Or is this not something you've thought about yet?
Retire? Haha, no. As I said, I plan to be the Master of the Hashashin, whether they like it or not. I will set the Order right, and I will continue to rule it for as long as I live. I will train my children and family in the ways I have been taught not only by the old Hashashin themselves, but the ways of the world. I plan on leaving a legacy of professional, deadly efficient, focused and thinking assassins and restoring the Hashashin as an active political force in the matters of our land.

What is most precious to you?
I have a lot of things precious to me. The meaning of the order, the Phantom Dancer's purpose, the memory of Claire. But I think... the most precious of it all is my Tristana. I can't think of my life without her.

Sir Bastian August 30th, 2013 8:45 AM

You gave us intriguing hints of uniform modification. What is it you wear, exactly?
Well, I obviously still wear the air peoples' colours. I might not like the style of the old uniforms, but I've always loved yellow and orange. I don't like the knee-high boots, they feel too restrictive, so I just wear a pair of slip-on shoes. My pants are pretty much the same as the air nomad ones, albeit a little less.. air-y and baggy. As for my torso, I'm wearing a kind of sleeveless vest with a high collar. Nice and airy around the chest, with my arms completely unrestricted. It's buttoned up the front, and I do wear an undershirt underneath it. Oh! And a pair of orange wristbands. Just to spice it a bit up, heh.

You seem like someone who's got themselves into fairly major trouble at least once with their ability. Have you got any interesting stories of that sort to tell?
Oh man, have I? Let's see... right, there was this festival around spring-time a couple years back in the Dragon Flats-part of the city, right? Food, music, a parade with balloons and everything. One of said balloons were of a sky bison, and it... uh, it didn't look all that good. Frankly, they did a really poor job of it, -so-! I decided that if it's a skybison, it shouldn't be held down near the ground with wires, it should be... free. So, with a little bit of bending and a *cough* freak gust of wind coming in from the east, they had a bit of a hard time holding onto it and it floated off into the sky with one of the police's blimps chasing after it. It looked -amazing-, and the kids loved it! ... Mom was pretty angry though. But it was worth it!

Are you in a relationship, or do you plan to be? If so, do you have your eye on anyone in particular?
A relationship? Pfhah, sorry to burst your expectations, but no, I'm not planning on it. Sometime, maybe, but if you ask me, being 'together' with someone isn't going to be anything but trouble. Everybody who's together are always almost grafted onto each other. It just seems so... restrictive, you know? I just don't see the point in it. Now, if you ask me if anyone has their eye on -me-... well. Our team's got quite the amount of fans, let me tell you that. *He flashes a smirk and gives a little wink*

Any particular rivals on the Pro Bending circuit?
For me as a person? Nah, I don't hold grudges. It's all in the name of sport! Sure, there are those who act like a**holes about it, but I try to ignore them. As a team, though? Definitely! There are alot of great teams out there, but I think our biggest threat right now is the Crocodile Pumas. Last year, they snatched the championship right under our noses. They're a really well-balanced team, but we've been training hard, and I think that this year, we're going to win. I've got a good feeling about it.

Any interesting things coming up for you in terms of work or other major events?
The tournament! Every year, we have the Pro Bending Championship Tournament, and it's coming up really soon. We do have matches before then, but that's more or less just training for when we'll enter the tournament. And win it. *He nods his head firmly and gives a cocky grin*

SylveonStar August 30th, 2013 9:04 AM

It must have been quite traumatic; how did you feel when you realized your brother was lost?
I was heartbroken, upset and scared. But most of all I knew he had died.

It must also have been quite traumatic to be suddenly ripped from one world into another. How did you handle the transition between the real world and the virtual?
It was fun at first, I let myself out of my shell. I made friends, was confident in myself. That all went away when we found out there was no way to leave the game.

On a related note, what will it be like to get back to the real world after this?
I would feel relieved, safe, but also sad. I'd be going back to a world that no longer has my big brother in it. I'm afraid my family will blame me for his death.

Do you know what happened to your brother at all? How do you feel about it, or, if you don't know, about not knowing?
I know he is dead. The creator of the game told all of us when the log out button disappeared that if you died in the game, or someone removed your helmet in the real world you would die for real. Because my brother died in a safe zone I know someone removed his helmet. Though sometimes I wish it had been me instead.

What do you do when you're not playing the flute?
I train, do quests with my guild, and try to discover the boss rooms. One of which we just found.

You said you were working to defeat the game. What does that entail, exactly?
There are 100 floors in Sword Art Online, we have to clear all 100 in order to be free.

Juxapose August 30th, 2013 10:34 AM

I guess I'll give this a try. Maybe develop my character for when I write my fanfic.

What is your full name?
Juxapose Ryuker Artesan

When and where were you born?
Aspertia City, Sixteen years ago.

Who are/were your parents?
My mother is Ana. My father went off on a Pokemon adventure before I was born.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I am an only child. But my mother tells me I have cousins in Kanto and Sinnoh.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Nothing remarkable really. I was a normal kid with normal friends.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I've always lived in Aspertia City with my two best friends Hugh and Rosa. Hugh is more of the serious type, but highly dependable. Rosa is a bit tomboyish and rough around the edges. All three of us dream of being Pokemon Masters, and possibly Gym Leaders of other regions.

What do you do for a living?
Until I start my Pokemon Journey, I am just a regular student.

Do you have any special abilities?
Until I start my Pokemon journey, I won't know. My friends tell me that I am the smartest of the bunch, and I might end up being a professor someday. But I don't want to be a professor, they have boring jobs.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
That is an odd request, but let me try. I have no distinguishing marks, tattoos, or scars. I dress casual, with a black shirt, blue vest, grey shorts, red and black sneakers, brown hair, brown eyes, and a red visor. My race is Unovian. Me and my friends are just young adults, and we need to embark on our journey to develop any distinguishing features like all the other Gym leaders and the members of the Elite 4.

To which social class do you belong?
I find this question to be really odd. Are you asking if I am "cool" or "goth" or anything like that? As a Pokemon Trainer, social classes don't exist anymore. Everyone is just out there having fun with Pokemon. Everyone is in the same "social class" of PokeFan.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
No, can't say that I do.

What does your voice sound like?
Like a typical 16 year old's male's voice. How else do I describe it?

What do you have in your pockets?
A list of Pokemon I want to train. There's more than 6 Pokemon on this list, so I will be very busy training once my journey begins.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I don't feel like I do, but my friends tell me that I am overly jolly and naive.

Venia Silente September 1st, 2013 10:35 PM

Okay, I have an inordinate list of characters under development and I thought this might be a good chance to get a second (less biased) pair of eyes on them. Who knows, perhaps a third set of eye as well. Took me forever to choose which character to pick though, to the point I had to ask some colleagues to help me choose (and boy the tie did take forever to break).

----

  • What is your full name?
    I'm Maekrite. What do you mean by "full" name anyway?
  • When and where were you born?
    I was born in my mother's burrow in the forests near Goldenrod. That was so long ago... a bit over five years.
  • Who are/were your parents?
    Well, Nidorans of course. My mother, Inka, actually is my Trainer's original starter - though she is retired now. My father, Baluarkos, is a vagabond Nidorino who managed to catch her eye. And I got my sex-appeal from him~
  • Do you have any family other than your parents?
    Well… last time I visited my home marli and parli were busy so I have now twenty one siblings and counting. Some of them evolved and mated already so I have a good 20-something nephews as well. Just… don't ask me for names though, I'm not even up to speed getting to meet my younger siblings personally!
  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
    There have been many adventures, even back at home. One of the times I was visiting there the patrollers got called to defend the forest's borders from a pack of hell-dogs coming for a raid from the northwest. Like good dogs they were well organized, and they had the dark to their advantage, but they were tired from their long trek. We managed to hold them back long enough that they decided to just skip the forest and go Frith knows where.
    That was a hard fight… no formal challenge, no rules, for about two hours since the dusk. The other patrollers are wild Nidorino, they don't have the training I do, but they fight for their lives sun after sun and it shows. It made me feel proud that I was still able to help. We feasted plenty the morning after that, then I had to leave.
  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
    I used to live in the forest, but I now live nowhere, with my Trainer - where he goes, I go, and he's always on the go. He is an adult human specimen... a barely adult one I might add, paler than others of his kind, and with a body built for walking and talking. He works doing something called "science" which is something with tubes and papers inside a big building and then doing the same things but outside, in the wild.
  • What do you do for a living?
    I go with my Trainer, I already said that. See, I was given the responsibility to care for him as a new Starter: I keep him company, get him out of trouble when he walks on the wrong side of a territorial Ursaring (or the fortunately sporadic revolt of Dragon-types with illusions of grandeur and world domination) and earn him a couple of coins a day by ramming the opponents' partners into submission.
  • Do you have any special abilities?
    Not very special, really; I was trained in various "tee-ems" to aid in my tasks as a trained Pokémon, but it's nothing that other Pokémon can't learn already.
    There is one thing, I guess, but I don't like to think about it because it feels weird on one's skin and blood. I mean... it's a thing that plants do. I'm not a plant!
  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
    Well, I'm a bit paler than other Nidorino, the same way my human is paler than other humans; I guess I got that from my mother. I'm also bulky, but don't you think that'll make me slow - I'm bulky for the job! And the females dig the muscles.
    I have my many scars of course, most of them old and mostly healed. There's a notorious cut on my left ear and a scar on my face that will stay like that for a good while though, and I do have some old, uhm... punctures in my underbelly, that fortunately don't show up too much.
  • To which social class do you belong?
    I belong to the Owsla, the patrollers of the burrow. Though that's only by role and oath, I have been far from home for too long to enjoy the work and the benefits. So for the time being, you could say I am tied to the many who walk and fight alongside humans.
  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
    Weakness... Psychic moves. Oh Frith I despise them. It's like my thoughts are twisted beyond recognition, to the point my own body misunderstands them. But beyond that I'm a very healthy Nidorino, it comes with the job.
  • What does your voice sound like?
    Well, my voice does not sound as sharp and imperative as it did when I was young. It sounds like me, but with more... roughness... and old. I'm getting... old.
  • What do you have in your pockets?



  • …Hello?
    …O-oh? Sorry... I was totally not despairing.
  • What do you have in your pockets?
    Uhm… pockets? Those things humans do to their clothes? I guess what you mean is what do I equip, in which case let me tell you a Pokémon of my one of Trainer's colleagues was so nice to give me a green earring for my birthday. A beautiful and simple thing. Trainer says it's also useful.
  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
    I shall admit to no mannerisms, and in no way did I ever attack or bite Trainer's shoes back when I was a kit. I love it when people rub the quills behind my ears though. That and a Mint Berry are the kind of relax I need by the end of the day.
    But if you want any defining characteristics about me just ask my Trainer. He'll gladly tell anyone who wants to hear that I'm in the top percentage of Nidorino. It seems to be some sort of trend, I've heard other people talking that way about their partner Pokémon on the phone.


gimmepie September 2nd, 2013 1:17 AM

Why not, I have been thinking this character is a bit underdeveloped lately.

What is your full name?
Adrian Frode

When and where were you born?
I was born in Switzerland in 1916 (that makes me 317 years old, although physically I'm 21).

Who are/were your parents?
My parents weren't anyone special I guess. My mother stayed at home to take care of the family and my farther was a historian.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I had siblings, and my family went on for a while after I was taken to Limbo. My family has died out now as far as I know, certainly nobody I grew up with is still alive.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Hmm... I remember when I first became a reaper. I was twenty-one years old and working as a mercenary. Not a glamorous job but it was necessary for the safety and economic benefit of country and therefore my family. I was supposed to be sneaking around and scouting a location with this Vlad guy... he was a bit of a tool but he was good at his job. The next thing I know some monstrous rhino-thing on two legs shows up and eats him. Whole. I'd probably been next but some other guy showed up, killed it with a knife and told me he was taking me away to Limbo where I'd be made an immortal guardian of sorts.

It honestly amazes me how I remember such a trivial experience *chuckles.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live on a nameless planet in the dimension of Limbo. I live alone in the Human City - that is where all the reapers who were born on Earth live. There's a wide range of people from all sorts of different time periods there and sometimes we even get non-human visitors. I have run into some pretty weird looking dudes.

What do you do for a living?
As I have said I am reaper, not those skeleton looking guys (those are the grim reapers and they're actually my bosses). It is my job, along with the other human reapers, to ensure souls end up in heaven and hell (the correct one), that demons aren't running lose, that the supernatural isn't exposed to those who shouldn't know about it and that there is an appropriate ratio of good/evil on the planet. In short, I get to stab stuff a lot.

Do you have any special abilities?
As a Reaper I'm faster, stronger and more durable than any mortal (oh yeah, as long as I am in Limbo I can't die). I can travel between dimensions instantly and I can use magic (both are rather cool abilities). Even amongst Reapers I am unusually fast though.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I'm tall, more than 6ft tall, and I'm rather thin but I'm toned and in good condition (I think I'm quite handsome too). My hair is black and rather long and messy, I have dark blue eyes that are supposedly quite sharp and I'm rather pale.

I usually wear ripped jeans, a white shirt and a long black coat. Sometimes I have my sword, which is charcoal grey, at my waist.

To which social class do you belong?
I was pretty poor when I was mortal. These days money isn't really an issue, the only ones who are above me are the Grims and anyone they say is above me.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
None at all, one of the many perks of my "profession". That being said, I can get tired if I work too hard.

What does your voice sound like?
It's just a voice, unassuming and nothing special. Might have a bit of a gravel too it and I used to have an accent but it died off.

What do you have in your pockets?
Right now? My hands. Oh and a soul jar (that's a tool for catching and transporting the souls of deceased people who can't find there way to heaven or hell).

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I tend to be rather sarcastic. I have an intense love of the Earth and its many cultures and I sometimes get into trouble for unauthorized visits to various places on Earth.

Cutlerine September 2nd, 2013 3:38 AM

Questions for the gloriously-improbably-named Juxapose Ryuker Artesan:

By 'social class', I think our previous interviewer meant to ask you what strata of society you come from - the upper class, the middle class, the lower class, and so on. Just to clarify that a bit.

If you're sixteen and your father left on his journey before you were born, what happened to him? Is there some reason he hasn't come back?

How do you feel about the fact that he's never returned from a Pokémon journey? It must affect your opinion of Pokémon journeys in some way.

What Pokémon are you interested in Training and why? Is there a reason for this list?

The way you approached our previous interviewer's questions didn't seem to match your friends' opinions of you as overly jolly - you came across as rather formal. What do you think about this?

Why is it that you're going on this journey?



Questions for Maekrite:

How did you come to be with your Trainer?

What ambitions do you have?

What is most precious to you?

Do you have any desire to return to the society of wild Nidoran, in retirement or for respite?

You have a broad vocabulary for a Nidoran. Where did you come by it?



Questions for Adrian Mole Frode:

What sort of magic is it that you use?

Do you think some of your interest in Earth's people and their cultures might have come from your father's work as a historian? I can see there might be an anthropological link there.

Why were you chosen to be made a reaper? Did you ever find out why the guy with the knife suddenly turned up and saved you?

For a person born in 1916, you certainly seem to have abandoned the mannerisms and costume of your time pretty completely. Has that just happened with the passing centuries, or did you make a conscious choice to differentiate your new self from your mortal past?

Is giving this interview entirely wise? Given that your job description is essentially to stop people knowing too much, aren't you giving a bit much away? You seem pretty loose-lipped for someone in such a secretive field, I suppose.

lineofdeath September 2nd, 2013 3:55 AM

What is your full name? george blackman
When and where were you born? london on the 20 june 1837(its set in victorian times)
Who are/were your parents?in the cemerary, the are elizebeth and henry
Do you have any family other than your parents?not that i know of
Any story from the past you'd like to share with us? i almost got killed at the same time as my parents, but the people realised i would be a good chimenysweep
Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people. the streets with other orphans
What do you do for a living?im a chimenysweep
Do you have any special abilities?no im a weak child
Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things. im a small underweight british boywith hair that has been stained black by soot, i have hazel eyes. i wear rags and have countless scars
To which social class do you belong?the lowest of the low

What does your voice sound like?quite high
What do you have in your pockets?i have no pockets
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?no to people seem to hate me

gimmepie September 2nd, 2013 4:36 AM

What sort of magic is it that you use?
Whatever is necessary at the time. I actually prefer to do things by hand and only use it as a last result. Most recently I improvised this big fireball thing (it was kinda cool really but left me rather tired).

Do you think some of your interest in Earth's people and their cultures might have come from your father's work as a historian? I can see there might be an anthropological link there.
Possibly, he was always immersed in his work. We were never particularly close though and unlike my father I prefer to immerse myself in the present than ponder how things used to be.

Why were you chosen to be made a reaper? Did you ever find out why the guy with the knife suddenly turned up and saved you?
I don't know why I was chosen, usually the reasoning for this is a useful set of skills, knowledge or an aptitude for the supernatural. As for why knife-guy (no, I never did learn his name) saved me. I thought it was obvious, he was a reaper and the reason he was there was to collect me.

I have no idea what a demon was doing there, but they do seem to show up around soon-to-be-reapers from my experience.

For a person born in 1916, you certainly seem to have abandoned the mannerisms and costume of your time pretty completely. Has that just happened with the passing centuries, or did you make a conscious choice to differentiate your new self from your mortal past?
These things slip away naturally over time. Others however seem to have changed less over time that I have. I suspect that my readiness to change has come from my preference to continue moving forward and to immerse myself in my current life rather than dwell on the past.

Is giving this interview entirely wise? Given that your job description is essentially to stop people knowing too much, aren't you giving a bit much away? You seem pretty loose-lipped for someone in such a secretive field, I suppose.
Well... the Grim's probably wouldn't be overly happy about it if they knew... which they probably do. But as it stands nobody is likely to believe a word of this anyway, and if someone were to recognise this as the truth in a way that would cause problems we'd just have to deal with them - that is my job after all. I still should start working on an excuse to give the grims though...

Venia Silente September 2nd, 2013 4:03 PM

How did you come to be with your Trainer?
I earned the duty -though I did not know what it was about back then. We the patrollers held a competition to find the cleverest of us to send to far away lands… I found myself the victor and the next morning, I was instructed to submit to the Ancient Treaty, to walk alone in the tall grass and meet a human with a problem. It turned out to be him.
The other patrollers said it was Frith's edict; my parents said it was result of my nurture.

What ambitions do you have?
Kittens. Many of them.
…What? what Nidoran does not want litters of kittens?
But I do want other things. I want to become strong and be much respected for my own power, not for the power that a Moon Stone would give me. And eventually when Trainer is working in the wild no mon will upset him because they shall know I am with him and so his work is important.

What is most precious to you?
Well, I've grown strong and of good ear… fit for my role. And I like that much. I'm not a vagabond and not a simple grass grazer either. I have a role in a community of many, I shall not fall prey to a Skarmory or an Arcanine, and whenever I can visit home no kitten under my charge will. It has hurt, but it is what I am proud the most in my life.

Do you have any desire to return to the society of wild Nidoran, in retirement or for respite?
Oh yes! Much much yes!

Don't get me wrong, my work is very good, Trainer keeps me healthy and in top shape, I get to meet and fight Pokémon beyond what the wild ones back at home can imagine… but I'm growing old and eventually someone will have to take my place besides Trainer same way I took marli's place.
And kittens. I have missed many mating seasons and with them the right to build my own bloodline; that weights heavier in my heart with time.

You have a broad vocabulary for a Nidoran. Where did you come by it?
Well I stay with a human who works with "science" so he talks funny and long, I've picked words from him and from other humans - they have various interests as well. There's also an Espeon in the group who reads books, she teaches me some words as well when she has spare time from whatever "quantum"-something she is learning.

Not to mention, as I mentioned earlier, my warren is near Goldenrod, a very big city - so we live very close to the humans and pick many interesting things from them, like the various names you use for our different species.
By the way who was the lucid head who didn't realize there were female "Mr. Mime"?

Geras September 2nd, 2013 10:48 PM

*Disclaimer: The answers given over the course of this interview do not entirely reflect the character's true feelings on the subjects.*

What is your full name?
I'm Xiu Lim, but nobody really actually cares about your last name unless you're super rich like the Beifongs and the Satos so just call me Xiu.
When and where were you born?
A small farming village in the United Republic of Nations during the mid-3rd century ASC. What? Of course I know what year I was born! I don't need to be telling you everything though, do I?
Who are/were your parents?
My dad's name is Xiang and my mom is Ning. They're farmers at that same farming village I mentioned before and from what they tell me, they're happy there. They don't hesitate to tell me how much they miss me with every letter, though, haha.
Do you have any family other than your parents?
No, not really. I'm an only child and all my grandparents are dead. I do have a few uncles, aunts, and cousins, but they all live in Republic City and don't really talk to my family much. There's probably some bad blood there. Who knows, maybe I'll visit them one day and see if I can set things right.
Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
When I was five, me and a lot of other five-year-olds were taken by the Order of the White Lotus to "Avatar training camp," was what they called it. They pushed and tested us to try and find out if one of us was the one whether we wanted it or not. I was one of the latter. I didn't want anything to do with the camp or being the avatar, but get this. It turned out that I was the Avatar! Isn't that funny? Ahahaha, haha, ha...
Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Right now I live in a White Lotus compound that's near Republic City but not quite in it. The Order takes care of everything I need and the sentries are nice people, although I wish they would go out and have some fun every once in a while. My bending masters were also good people, although some were tougher than others like my earthbending master and my firebending master, both of whom are just a little bit upset over my lack of progress. Well, maybe more than a little.
What do you do for a living?
Promise not to go around telling everyone? I'm the actually sort of the Avatar! Well, I guess I already told you that so it isn't that much of a surprise, but that's what I do. I mean, I'm not actually doing any real "Avatar stuff" yet since I'm still in training, but I'll get there!
Do you have any special abilities?
Let's see... Metalbending, airbending, and waterbending are some. I'm also good at sewing, drawing, and I can operate a telegraph pretty well too. Charisma and popularity is a special ability too, isn't it? There's probably some other things, but you get the idea.
Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I'm a petite young girl and my height is about average. My eyes are green and my long hair is black. I work very hard to keep myself looking good. Part of this is wearing nice clothes that I proudly made myself. The dresses I make and wear would make some of the richest people in Republic City green with envy. Okay, maybe not, but they're still pretty nice.
To which social class do you belong?
I'm not too sure how to answer that. I was born on a farm, so that's definitely a lower class, but I'm not exactly sure if being the Avatar is considered high-class, or middle. For all I know, it could still be considered lower class.
Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
I'm physically weak in the first place. Of course, not that I'd have any reason to be strong anyway. What modern girl needs to be buffed out? Well, unless they're a pro-bender or some sort of thug, I guess. They could also just like working out, but I don't.
What does your voice sound like?
I've been told that my voice is smooth and silky like my hair, or is like the dulcet tones of a beautiful symphony, or something like that, but those were just things that guys said to me when they were trying to get me to go out with them. I guess I'd just describe it as high, a soprano maybe, and I try to speak clearly.
What do you have in your pockets?
This dress doesn't have any pockets, but my bag has just about everything a girl would need.
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
No, nothing I'll admit to at least. Some people have actually come up to me and accused me of being "too perfect," though, but I don't think that's true.

Cutlerine September 5th, 2013 4:27 AM

(You know, the disclaimer isn't necessary. It's clear to see that there's something up with Xiu's responses - to your credit as a writer. Be confident in your writing skills! You've definitely managed to convey a sense of something hidden just through the answers you composed alone.)

Anyway. Questions for Xiu Lim:

Why do you think people have accused you of being 'too perfect'? I have my own opinions, but I'd like to hear your side of the story.

Have you changed your mind about wanting to be the Avatar, or at least come to accept the fact that you are it? It's pretty obvious you didn't want to at first.

You say you think that there's 'probably some bad blood' between your parents and their siblings. What makes you think that? Do you know what the conflict is?

You will have to forgive my ignorance about all things Avatarish, but don't you as the Avatar need any physical prowess? Surely if this Order of the White Lotus is so fanatical, they would want you as perfectly suited to whatever it is that Avatars do as possible, and I assume that would involve not only bending training but physical training as well. If I'm correct - and I may well be wrong - why isn't that happening?

You have a pretty high opinion of yourself. Why is that? And does being the Avatar feed your ego at all?

Trev September 6th, 2013 4:36 PM

Hope it's okay that I filled this out for two characters. Didn't see a rule against it...

Spoiler:
What is your full name?
Loria is my full name, deary. Some refer to me as "The Frozen Witch", which I will elaborate on later. However, as you are a commoner, you shall refer to me as "Your Highness", no exceptions.

When and where were you born?
I was born in a village in Coldarra. You know, that one that was obliterated by mercenaries from the Crimson Company. You might have heard of it.

Who are/were your parents?
My parents... ah, that's a tricky subject. My mother, a Froslass as I am now, was single. My father, I never met him. If I do meet him, it will not be under good circumstances. Of course, he's probably dead in this time. He was an old fart from what I remember of him, heehee.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I had a younger brother. I also considered my friend Benita, my bodyguard and good friend, family.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Well... I don't like to talk about the destruction of my village, but I suppose your interest is peaked since I mentioned it before. I used to be a queen in my village; through deception and trickery, I gained the trust of the people in it and they allowed me to rule them. A year or so after I began my rule, a man named Januario approached me with a proposal: the funds of my village in exchange for protection from the possible ill-wraths of something called an Ice Plate. I denied him cooperation, and the next day, he sent Fire-type mercenaries that destroyed my entire village, and everyone in it. I am indeed the sole survivor of this attack. I am still very much a queen, mind you.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Before I was enlisted in helping the patrons of Area 52, I used to be a roamer. I would go from village to village and basically suck them dry of their resources in order to keep myself going. I did have to utilize my Psychic powers in order to trick some people, which is why I'm referred to as "The Frozen Witch". It's a very unbecoming name and I despise it. I wish I had gotten a name with more regality.

What do you do for a living?
Basically, my last answer defines my "job", if you wish to call it that.

Do you have any special abilities?
As I said, I'm adept at Psychic. Most Ghost-types find this difficult. I'm not a professional, like an actual Psychic type. However, I have decent mastery of it.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Well, I more or less look like any old Froslass. I have a purple bow and green eyes, however, which I've learned is different from regular Froslass. Guess I'm special, heehee.

To which social class do you belong?
The highest. I am a queen, thank you.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
None that I can think of off the top of my head.

What does your voice sound like?
Very seductive and calm. Don't you love it? ♥

I enjoy speaking in a professional and intelligent manner. Being a Queen over a peaceful village left a lot of time to immerse myself in study. I enjoyed reading the dictionary on occasion. I had just about finished the L section before my village was destroyed.

What do you have in your pockets?
I don't really have pockets.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Many. First off, I am a queen. If I have not stated that enough, then shame on me. Everyone must know of this status, for it is absolutely true. I also, as stated previously, enjoy speaking with intelligent and well-articulated sentences.

I enjoy using deception and lies to trick people into believing, well, whatever I need. It's a habit I've tried so hard to break, but everyone is stuck in their ways and I am no exception. I often use my advanced knowledge and my adorable looks to get whatever I want. Don't act like you don't think I'm adorable, heehee. I also like to giggle a lot, and I enjoy taunting people. If I can get someone angry enough, I can deceive them into doing what I want.

My defining characteristic would definitely be my looks. I pride myself on my beauty, and those who speak ill of my appearance do not enjoy my reaction... heehee. You should definitely compliment my looks.


Spoiler:
What is your full name?
Angelique Everret. Don't shorten my first name. I hate it when people do that. I think the worst shortenings are Angie and Angel. Ugh.

When and where were you born?
I was born on some island near the Firenation land mass. I never really had the time to learn the name of it. When I was five, I went away to some Avatar camp-thing, and not long after I returned home, my mother and I moved to Republic City. I've lived there for quite a while now. I'm 18 currently, so I'll leave you to guess when I was born.

Who are/were your parents?
My dad was part of the Firenation army. He died shortly before I was born, in battle. I really wish I could've gotten to know him better, honestly. My mom says that he was a great person, with a wonderful personality.

My mother, bless her, she raised me all by myself. I guess she did a good job, although she didn't really want me to be influenced by the bad things that most young kids did, which lead to her keeping me mostly alone at our house on the island instead of playing with the other kids. Don't worry, I'm not too antisocial because of that; I can still make friends, I just choose not to have a lot because it's easier to know who you can trust and there's less drama. I turned out alright enough despite that, although she still wishes I would use more color in my outfit. No biggie.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
Nope. My mom said that if my dad had been alive after I was born, they would have tried for another child, probably a boy.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Hmm... there was this one time I was hanging out with my friend Julienne at those spinning board things that Airbenders in the city use... well, the sole airbender that is. We met him on the day we went there. He was really nice, and he told me that I shouldn't worry about not being a good firebender and about getting denied at the pro-bending signup because of that. I showed him my fighting style, and he said it was very interesting and that he rarely saw firebending used in the way I use it. It made me feel kind of special, I guess.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live on the second-to-top floor of an apartment building close to the shoreline of Republic City. Our neighbors are somewhat normal, except for Mr. Wu. I steal his dumplings all the time, and he gets so mad at me. It's pretty funny.

What do you do for a living?
Er... well, I don't have a job really. My mom works for the pro-bending tournament in our city, and it's a pretty well-paying job. She said I didn't have to get a job if I don't want to, but I don't want her to handle all that stuff by herself.

Do you have any special abilities?
I wouldn't really consider it an ability, but I'm very flexible and great at gymnastics. I like to do some crazy maneuvers around the crowds of Republic City whenever I'm going somewhere and feel bored. People yell at me for it, but at least I'm having fun.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Well, I don't wanna brag or anything, but I'd consider myself pretty darn attractive. I'm about 5"4, I think, and I weigh about 165 lbs. I've got blonde hair, but with black highlights. I love the color black. Most of my outfit is black. I usually keep my hair in a ponytail. I have green eyes, which I'm not very excited about because I would look so much cuter with blue eyes. I generally like to wear what I have on now, and in case you're wondering about the skirt, I wear yoga shorts underneath. They hit my kneecaps, perverts. My messenger bag contains a lot of crap I've found, as well as some food and extra weapon cards.

To which social class do you belong?
... I should probably know what that means, right? Um... upper-middle?

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Hmm, not really. I think I'm just... kind of weak-looking in general. But it's only because I'm skinny and I like to do acrobatics. You think I could do the stuff I do with flabs of fat dripping from my stomach?

What does your voice sound like?
Not really sure what you mean, you've been listening to me right? Some people say it's calming. I think my friend Rachael thinks it's annoying. She's a ***** anyway. No one likes her.

What do you have in your pockets?
*digs in pocket* Ooh, lint.

I usually keep stuff in my bag, so I rarely put things in my pocket. Maybe just candy wrappers that I throw away later.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I like to do cartwheels a lot, as well as general acrobat moves like flow ducking, jumping, flips, running off walls and carts, slides, splits, etc. Also, I have a fighting style different from most Firebenders. I suck at anything long distance, so my instructor helped me develop a close-range Firebending style, in which I use acrobatic attacks mixed with fire to fight. For example, I can do this really cool move where I do a cartwheel while my hands and feet release fire to create a wheel of fie. It's so cool. I would show you now, but we're indoors and I really don't want more arson charges.

Konekodemon September 6th, 2013 5:06 PM

Why do I have to write first person for? First person is annoying and I can't write it. It would be so much better to write 3rd person. If I can't and you're going to be stubborn about it I'll just make my own thread of the same thing then.

Ray Maverick September 7th, 2013 2:41 AM

You can write in third person, if it is that much of a big deal. :|

Trev September 7th, 2013 4:59 AM

Spoiler:
You were honest with us so far. On what occasion do you lie?
Hmm, usually if I want something from someone, or whenever I get bored. I'm being truthful with you simply because I want nothing from you. Unless you have something.

I can't decide if you're a good person or not. Have you any regrets for (possibly) destroying these villages you visited when you roamed?
Oh, I don't destroy villages. Believe me, with a past like mine, you have a good deal of respect. The villages I stay are almost always left intact. There was one exception; the townspeople attempted to run me out, so I had to destroy a few houses to create a rubble barrier to escape behind. Of course, I didn't kill anyone.

You sure sound Queenly, but a Queen without a Kingdom to rule... she's just as mortal as the next Pokemon. How do you deal with knowing that you could die and not ever rebuilt your Kingdom?
HOW DARE YOU REFER TO ME AS A COMMONER! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!

... Pardon that outburst, heehee. Well, I am already dead as you can tell from my ghostly presence, but if that did happen, it would probably shatter me quite a bit, although not as much as you would expect.

Do you even want to rebuilt your Kingdom? Say you had the chance, time and resources.
*sigh* Although I would love to, I could not rebuild the people that were killed. It wouldn't be the same.

What was your relationship with the residents of the village you ruled?
They adored me! Oh, they would do just anything for me. At first, when I began ruling, I felt no emotion to them, but eventually I came to love them all myself. They were very noble, brave people. If they were alive today, we easily could have converted the village into a proper kingdom.

How would you describe your childhood in general?
Simply glorious. I was the prettiest of the Snorunt of my generation, which is a hard feat to achieve since Snorunt are not commonly attractive, and everyone loved me. Although it seems, well, very unusual that I had such a great following even at a young age, I did a lot of work to keep myself in shape and beautiful. Although, as a child it was harder to convince people because no one believes kids, heehee.

Who has had the most influence on you?
Well, it any specific person. I had always heard stories told by mother about the powerful kings and queens of other realms and kingdoms, and the idea of ruling appealed to me significantly. However, I refused to allow myself to become a dictational kind of ruler. Peace is indeed the key to happiness, and it worked wonders for my village.

What is the evilest thing you have done?
I once stole money from a kid. It was a terrible thing, indeed, but it was either him or me. I needed something to eat, after all. Besides, he had parents who could feed them.

Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Heehee, if you consider the fact that I think I'm the most important woman in Altica, then yes, I have a bias.

What's your favorite hobby and pastime?
I enjoy a nice rest in a pile of snow now and then. You have to go back to your roots at some point.

Are you spontaneous, or do you like making plans?
Spontaneous decisions are never a good thing. I can make fast plans should it be needed, but that's the closest I'll get to a rash decision. Everything else must be approached with some idea of what will happen.

What do you consider your only weakness? You seem to be full of yourself. You think that could be a problem?
Full of myself? On the contrary, how I speak of myself is absolutely true. You commoners...

My weakness is probably how I speak to others, I suppose. Losing everyone you know tends to dull your social skills, so I can come off as rather rude on occasions. I also tend to only have allies, as my experiences have proven that losing a friend is harder than losing an ally. Emotional attachment is the downfall of every good ruler.

What are your reasons for being in an adventure? Are these reasons different from the ones you tell the public?
Well, I was tricked into this. Ha, how ironic is that? The trickster was tricked! Elder Durand sent me a message under the guise of an anonymous salesman who claimed that I would receive extensive funding if I was able to locate an item called NevermeltIce. I did find the item, but when it was revealed that everything was a trick, Durand allowed me to keep the item. I secretly keep it in the lining of my bow. But I was promised some decent payment for the help in this mission, so I suppose you could say I'm under contract right now, heehee.


Spoiler:
So, Angie, what happens when you're provoked?
*eye twitch* Well, I more or less eradicate the offender's existence from this world. Would you like me to demonstrate on you?

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Eh... I couldn't really place myself in either of those. I'm not shy, I just choose not to have a lot of friends. I am somewhat outgoing though. Maybe I'd be an extrovert with an unexpected hatred of socializing.

Do you feel like your parents wanted a boy instead of a girl? How does that affect you?
They wanted both, I'm sure. I think they just wanted me to have a brother so I wouldn't be alone. I secretly think my mom knew she would attempt to isolate me from the bad influences of the world.

Do you aspire to be a better firebender, or it's not really your thing?
Absolutely. I'm terrible with long distance attacks. The most long-distance thing I can do is shoot a small stream of fire than can hit out about 4 feet in front of me.

Have you ever had any significant others? Like, love interests, crushes. If yes, describe them.
Well... not really. Relationships are... meh. Of course, I'm a girl, so it's not unusual for me to find a guy I see in public hot. I don't do the whole dating thing though. Guys are hopeless when it comes to romance, especially when flirting is involved. I hate flirting.

What are you involved in right now? Anything happening in Republic City?
I plan to attend the Pro-Bending finals tonight. I've been following Force of Nature's victory streak for quite a while.

Do you use any weapons for combat?
Yes. It might seem odd, but I use weaponized playing cards. They're extremely sharp, durable, and I can light them on fire for three minutes before they burn out. They tend to make up for my lack of long distance abilities, although they can be easy to avoid if you know how.

Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Well, my first experience with Firebending was my mother showing me how to use a tiny flame to light a candle, when I was about 3. Then, at age 5, I was sent to some camp to see whether or not I was the Avatar. I learned a lot of my fighting abilities from there. My trainer was a woman named Marilynn. She was awesome. She taught me the majority of my fighting style, like how to surround my hand with fire without burning my skin off. Believe me, that was a painful thing to learn. There was also this firebender who lived in my building for a month after I arrived that showed me how to do a really neat fireball projectile move.

While growing up, did you have any role models?
Definitely. A lot of the firebenders in Pro-Bending matches were my role models. Although I can't do it, I love the original Firebending style a lot, and all of the Firebenders in these matches were my inspiration to try and learn it. Still haven't had a lot of success though.

Also, I have the standard my-mom-is-my-role-model mentality. She managed to raise me by herself as well as maintaining our household. That takes a lot of smarts.

Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
Well, it wasn't really intentional, but I accidentally set a cabbage cart on fire. I've since learned that getting angry when I have my hands on something flammable is not a thing I want to do.

Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
I'm pretty optimistic for the most part. If I haven't given up trying to learn how to properly firebend yet, I've gotta have a good outlook.

Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances you think murder is acceptable?
Uh... well, if someone was threatening to kill me, my mom, Julienne, or any else I consider close to me, I'd probably kill them first for obvious reasons. That's an... interesting question.

Do you tend to argue with people or avoid conflict?
If it's something I'm passionate about, I will definitely argue it. Otherwise, I just say, "Whatever" and leave it alone.

Do you care of what others think of you?
Not in the slightest. It's my own business what I choose to do; everyone's opinion on it is just that.

The only reason why people are using first-person in this thread is because that's the usual POV to write in when writers want to get inside their character's heads. But like Ray said, you can use third-person if you want. There's no need to create an entirely separate thread to perform the same service but with only a small change.

Mana September 7th, 2013 11:11 AM

What is your full name?
Lady Maylene Ling.

When and where were you born?
I was born in the great city, Ba Sing Se, just short of 60 years ago. You younguns are sly if you think you can just ask a woman about her age.

Who are/were your parents?
Unfortunately, both of my parents have departed this life. My father, Lord Wo, was a councilman - serving the king in running the city. I think I probably inherited my strong will from him, even for an Earthbender he was quite stubborn.

My mother was a village refugee, she always used to tell me about arriving in the big city with nothing more than a slice of bread. To earn money she worked double shifts at the infirmary, refusing to leave until she couldn't physically stand - eventually, her hard work paid off. She was a fantastic nurse.

My parents met when my father thought he had a severe case of foxhare-pox. Turned out it was just a rash, it was probably just some ploy to talk to the attractive head nurse.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
My grandparents were an important feature in my upbringing, often looking after me when my parents were away on official business - but they never had any other children. I didn't mind being an only child, the bustling city was more than enough company.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Oh, the stories I could tell you. You will have to be more specific, child, if you're planning on going home later.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
It's just me now. The house is far to big for one person, I wish they were still here. I guess all children have to grow up at some point. I would rather just stay out the house, there are too many memories here - I sleep, eat and go out, it's just not our home anymore.

What do you do for a living?
Like my father, I work for the city. I manage Ba Sing Se's finances and relations with the capital, as I've gotten older I've gained a lot of assistants though - I must admit they do most of the work these days. I'm hoping to get relocated soon, although maybe it's too late for me to start over now.

Do you have any special abilities?
I'm a bender, another trait undoubtedly passed down to me. I've never felt the need to train my talents, past my teenage years, so I'm a little out of practice now - earthbending was rarely useful to me, other than helping me reach the top shelf.

I suppose my other special ability is my account management, some how I've managed to keep this extravagant city out of debt for the last few decades. Even the Avatar couldn't do that, I bet.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I promise you, back in the day I was an attractive girl - I had all the noble boys falling over, just for a chance for a dance. I guess the years haven't been kind, I'm slowly losing the little height I had and keep getting told I'm "wasting away". People can be so charming these days(!).

My hair has been grey longer than I can remember now, I'd like to say it was because of wisdom, but I'd imagine there are other reasons.

To which social class do you belong?
I was fortunate enough to be raised a noble. My father's status meant my life has been luxurious, and led to me easily securing a job myself. I've been extremely lucky with my upbringing and the opportunities it has given me.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Is this another age question? I'd like to say I'm fighting fit, but that might be a slight exaggeration. I can move at a leisurely pace, you won't see me running anywhere anymore - and if there's any heavy lifting to be done it is best I leave it to you boys.

What does your voice sound like?
What a peculiar question. I'm not sure what you mean, I probably sound like all the other ladies of Ba Sing Se.

What do you have in your pockets?
I'm afraid I don't have anything in my pockets - my dress doesn't even have any. Any money I need is always in my handbag - a small leather purse with intricate, woven details. It was my mothers, from long ago, I always loved the emerald green of the threading.


Geras September 7th, 2013 1:12 PM

Why do you think people have accused you of being 'too perfect'? I have my own opinions, but I'd like to hear your side of the story.
People look at me and they see a popular, smart, pretty girl who can easily make friends, make clothes, sing, bend, and more. They think I can do anything, but they're wrong. I like the flattery, though!

Have you changed your mind about wanting to be the Avatar, or at least come to accept the fact that you are it? It's pretty obvious you didn't want to at first.
Being the Avatar comes with lots of perks, so of course I'm okay with it now! Besides, it's not like all the Avatars had to face world-threatening circumstances, right?

You say you think that there's 'probably some bad blood' between your parents and their siblings. What makes you think that? Do you know what the conflict is?
I don't know what the cause is. Their harsh words when they meet are proof enough of a conflict, though. But I honestly don't know what it is.

You will have to forgive my ignorance about all things Avatarish, but don't you as the Avatar need any physical prowess? Surely if this Order of the White Lotus is so fanatical, they would want you as perfectly suited to whatever it is that Avatars do as possible, and I assume that would involve not only bending training but physical training as well. If I'm correct - and I may well be wrong - why isn't that happening?
The purpose of the Avatar is to maintain balance in the world, not to beat people up. It isn't all about fighting. It's an honest mistake to think that though, considering the accomplishments of my predecessors! Mastery of the elements isn't about power, it's about understanding. I am working hard to get stronger though, so don't worry! *flexes her arms jokingly*

You have a pretty high opinion of yourself. Why is that? And does being the Avatar feed your ego at all?
Sorry if I seem a little self centered. As liked as I am though, people don't quite understand how hard I've worked for all of this. It doesn't bother me, though and I am proud of it all! Being the Avatar actually does the opposite, considering that I've got the likes of Aang and Korra to compare myself to! You do need good self esteem and confidence if you want to be successful, though!

Now, I've got a question for you! We can make this more like a nice conversation! Are you going to tell anyone what I've said here? You can't just go around telling everyone about a girl's private life, can you?

Konekodemon September 8th, 2013 6:22 PM

I do apologise for the delay. I've been rather busy. However!

Questions for milady Maylene Ling:

At your age, thoughts must inevitably turn to your future and what it holds. Do you have plans for retirement at some point? If so, what are you planning to do to stave off the death by boredom that claims so many retirees? (I don't know how long people live in your time period and part of the world, but I imagine you must be reckoned rather old among your people.)

Your job and your lifestyle must have brought you into contact with a large number of interesting people. Do you have any stories about that sort of thing that you'd like to share?

You mentioned children; have you been married? If so, what was your spouse like, and where are they now?

If not, then what children were you referring to?

In order for a knack for accounting to become visible and then useful, one also needs a modicum of training. Who taught you, and how did you take to your schooling?


Response for Xiu Lim:

Well, madam, when you signed the agreement to hold this interview you consented to the information you provided being reported elsewhere. All of our interviews are broadcast live along a complex network of light beams and glass wires that spans the globe; it is one of the defining creations of our particular era. One needs but to be connected, and all the information the world has to offer is at one's fingertips.

And, er, that includes this interview. You really should have read the contract, Ms Lim.

Also, I confess that I have absolutely no idea what an Avatar is, hence my errors. Perhaps a others of our interviewers know more about your world than I do. Frankly, I'm not qualified to talk about it.


Questions for Sakura, to be communicated via Konekodemon:

If she cannot control her sword 'most' of the time, is there anything she can do about that? One would think that in her line of work, control of a sword is fairly necessary.

In a similar vein, why is it that Sakura can't control her sword?

Why does Sakura do what she does? What drives her in her journey?

Do Sakura's siblings travel with her? If so, what do they do?

Why does she beat up Jaken a lot?


Thank you for your patience.

CourageHound September 15th, 2013 6:41 AM

I'd like to flesh out my character some!

What is your full name?
Vash, the Bullet

When and where were you born?
In a cave resting on the side of a mountain.

Who are/were your parents?
My Father was a Crobat while my mother was a Golbat. I remember them being good caretakers and guardians in my days as a Zubat.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
Other than my parents, I had a brother and sister all of which I lost contact with long ago. However when I was taken in the tribe of Wind Masters, they soon became his new family.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
A long time ago I once got into a fight with a Skarmory, apparently trespassing onto its territory by accident. I pleaded forgiveness but was attacked mercilessly anyways. I managed to defend myself and flee, but still wear a scar as a reminder of the incident.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Before my current occupation I lived within the mountains off the rim of the city.

What do you do for a living?
Guarding the Flying Plate, one of the 16 plates created by Arceus.

Do you have any special abilities?
Normally Crobat would have sub par eyesight due to them spending the majority of their time in caves and only exposing themselves to dark places. However because of my active day-and-night lifestyle and no definitive sleep cycle, I'm comfortable in the darkness as well as broad daylight.

Being exposed to the flying plate for such a long time as not only stimulated my flying abilities, but given me complete mastery and precision over my flying type moves.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
I am a Crobat, with your standard crobat features. I have a scar on my midsection obtained some time ago in a scrap with a Skarmory. I wear a black belt with an attachment piece. The piece contains a float stone, which makes me all the more lighter and faster while flying and gliding.

To which social class do you belong?
I am unsure of where I stand honestly.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
None.

What does your voice sound like?
Not overly deep but a low, smooth voice that is both peaceful in conversion and sinister to hear in a dark alley.

What do you have in your pockets?
Well, if I did have pockets they would be stocked with food.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I would define myself as reserved and not exactly outspoken. While not extremely sociable I do however find security and stability in numbers. Conversely, I do enjoy the quiet, and tranquility of solidarity. A bad habit I have developed would be either thinking out loud or trailing off during sentences. Sometimes people would consider lacking a sense of humor and taking things to seriously.

Manska September 15th, 2013 7:41 AM

This sounds like a really cool idea. Got two characters from a fic still on the drawing board for ya :)

Bastion, an Eevee
Spoiler:
  • What is your full name?
Hi there! I’m Bastion, though most pokemon just call me Bas.
  • When and where were you born?
I was born about six cycles ago in the Glade.
  • Who are/were your parents?
My Mom is a Leafeon named Shae and my Da a Flareon named Marlo. My Mom looks after a lot of the other pokemon’s kits and my Da is a hunter.
  • Do you have any family other than your parents?
I have a brother, Ash, who is a year older than me and a Vaporeon, but he lives on the outskirts of the group mostly nowadays with some of his friends. Mom says there are some Meowth that we’re related to way down south but I’ve never met any of them.
  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
It’s kinda boring around here so there’s not really much to tell worth a story. The only thing really worth a story I can think of is how my brother evolved. It was winter about three cycles back and my brother had been going on and on and on about how he wanted to be a Flareon like Da pretty much ever since I was old enough to understand him talking. Then when the winter came he ignored Da’s advice and was playing about on the frozen river and fell right through! He was okay though, the shock made him evolve into a Vaporeon and he just spent a while fused into the water sulking before he came back up.
  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live in a area of forest claimed by a clan of Eevee in the Grand Forest, I think we’re somewhere near the center of it. I’ve never been outside the forest or really very far into it - there are lots of dangerous pokemon in there - so I can’t say where the Forest itself is. There are a couple dozen of us living here with most of the older pokemon being either Leafeon or Vaporeon, though we have a few Glaceon that evolved in the winter. I live in the center of our territory in an area we call the glade. It’s a pretty big clearing surrounded by thick bushes and brambles with a river running through it and a massive tree with droopy leaves in the middle! Most of the really old or young members of the clan live here as well as my Mom and some of the other mothers.

It’s pretty boring around here really. We’re well protected and nothing ever happens. We have a group of REALLY strong Leafeon that protect us from any other pokemon or humans that try to attack us. After they took down that group of Absol that had been killing everything in the area noone messes with us or comes near our territory. They’re a bit too good actually; hunters have to go farther out to hunt for food because even the prey pokemon won’t chance coming near us usually. That’s why I want to be a hunter, so I’ll get the chance to leave the territory a bit and see some pokemon that aren’t Eevee.
  • What do you do for a living?
I’m not old enough to do anything like that yet, but when I am I want to be a hunter and gather help gather food for everyone like my dad!
  • Do you have any special abilities?
Not really. I’m kinda good at sneaking about in the forest but not really much better than anyone else who wants to be a hunter. Or like, any of the Leafeon.
  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

    Well, I’m an Eevee; looking pretty much identical is kinda an Eevee thing; we have different shades in our fur and stuff that let others recognise us but they can’t really be described easily. I’m a bit small for my age but aside from my scent that’s really the only way I differ from the other unevolved Eevee.
  • To which social class do you belong?
Social class? You mean like who tells the others what to do right? We have Kain, the Espeon who leads the clan, but other than him everyone is pretty much just does whatever we need to do to survive.
  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Eevee are pretty weak compared to most of the stuff around here but that’ll change when I evolve. Cheri Berries make my mouth swell up a bit when I eat them but I can still do it . Not that I would want to, they taste horrible!
  • What does your voice sound like?
High pitched, but all Eevee sound like that! It’ll change when I evolve, or if I get really really old as an Eevee.
  • What do you have in your pockets?
What are pockets?
  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Uhh, well I can be a bit restless sometimes. I don’t really like sitting still so I wander off a lot and explore. Mom says that I’m too “excitable” or something and that I ask too many questions but I think she’s just lazy sometimes.


Celia, a Quilava

Spoiler:
  • What is your full name?
Celia. I’m from the Bernhorn family but we don’t really use our families names as last names like you humans do.
  • When and where were you born?
Eight months ago when my mother was making a trip south. My mother met my father on the trip and my egg ended up hatching as they were returning here.
  • Who are/were your parents?
I was born to a Flareon named Alicia and a Typholsion names Marcus. My mother is one of the colony’s medics and my father was one of the warriors until he was captured by a trainer.
  • Do you have any family other than your parents?
I grew up with plenty of tales about my family and how they defended the colony but none of them are actually alive.
  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
My parents loved going south on trips to the beach, especially my father since he had originally lived there. Back when I was a really young cyndaquil they took me down on a trip with them, but along the way we were attacked by a trainer. I was so young that I can’t really remember much of it, just fire and snarling, but when my mother told me later she said my father took down several of the human’s pokemon and gave the thing itself a nasty burn before he was captured. I got the scar on my shoulder during the fight; a graveller belonging to the trainer used some sort of rock attack and I got hit my a piece of debris.
  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live in a colony of pokemon in the Hoenn region, situated around the western edge of Lake Pyre and south of the large forest below the human town of Fortree that the locals call the Grand Forest. There are a couple hundred pokemon altogether living in the colony and we’re pretty much the largest organised group of pokemon this side of the continent. The colony is actually made up of one large group around the lakeside and several smaller groups around them but we all think of ourselves as one.

Up until a while ago I lived with my mother near the lakeside but now I’m living in a small cave system near the north-western edge of our territory with the warrior I’m apprenticed to and a few others. Darel is a Ninetales; gruff, old and tough as nails but he’s a good teacher. Most of the other warriors here are young and arrogant, I suppose like I would be if I didn’t have Darel smacking me down when my ego gets too inflated. Most of the experienced warriors have been called down to the south since things are worse off down there which means that our little outpost is undermanned and underskilled.

The colony used to be a safe place to live but nowadays it’s getting more and more dangerous. Something is pushing even some of the more dangerous loners in the Grand Forest south out of their homes and into us and there have been rumours of organised groups attacking the south. Things are mostly unchanged in lakeside but many of the farther out groups are starting to get nervous.
  • What do you do for a living?
I’m currently in training to be a member of the Guard, a warrior defending the colony.
  • Do you have any special abilities?
I’ve gotten the hang of flamethrower earlier in my life than most, though I still have trouble stoking my flames hot enough to use it properly.
  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
The dark blue section of my fur is a bit lighter than it is on most of my kind, something my mother tells me I got from my father. My flames are also slightly bigger and more wavy than most Quilava. I have a small scar on my shoulder.
  • To which social class do you belong?
There isn’t really much of a social structure within the colony, it’s mostly just a large group of peaceful pokemon that live together. I suppose I’m kinda as close to middle/upper as we really have since as a warrior I actually have a defined job and some respect for it, rather than just doing whatever needs doing at the moment. The Guard is ogranised obviously so that we can actually do our job but that’s about it for hierarchy within the colony.
  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
My shoulder aches and gets very stiff if I get too cold, but then for a pokemon with inbuilt flames getting cold is a very bad thing in itself. Other than that I’m young and healthy.
  • What does your voice sound like?
I couldn’t say really, only ever heard it in my own head. Some of the others round here say that it’s quiet and soft but they’re mostly loudmouths who can;t get enough of hearing themselves speak so I’m not sure how much their opinion on the matter can be trusted.
  • What do you have in your pockets?
I’m a pokemon, I don’t have pockets. I do usually keep a Sitrus berry tied around my neck for emergencies.
  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I’m a bit snarky and seem unsociable, I will admit. I don’t tend to get along with strangers or people that I’ve just met and can be very impatient with people who are wasting my time. Darel sometimes says that I’m arrogant and have a bad temper.

Badron Simolson

When and where were you born?
Bristol Ca, USA

Who are/were your parents?
My dad, Nolafus, you interviewed earlier remember? My mom died when I was seven, it's been rough, but we've been getting by.

I have a little brother named Kren, he's seven. My grandma and grandpa on both sides are still alive. We don't visit my mom's parents often and we don't visit my dad's parents at all. I'm not exactly sure why to be honest.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
I just got suspended from school. This human kid spilled his lunch on me and when he started apologizing this bigger human kid started saying how humans shouldn't have to apologize to srains. Eventually things got heated between him and me and he threw the first punch. I easily dodged it and punched him back, he went crying to a teacher after that and now I'm suspended.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I live in Bristol with my dad and brother. My dad you interviewed earlier so I don't think I have to describe him, but my brother Kren is just like any little kid. He's too innocent to see the unfairness that's going on and it really drives me nuts sometimes.

I'm in seventh grade.

No, I'm just a normal Srain.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

My dad says we're fine, but I know we're below the poverty line.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Not that I know of.

What does your voice sound like?
Average I guess. That's a tough question to answer with words.

What do you have in your pockets?
Nothing

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I hate group projects at school and prefer to do work on my own.


TrainerJacob September 15th, 2013 5:51 PM

?What do you have in your pockets?

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I do. Sometimes, I can mess things up with my tail (Like, if there is a ladder, and I walk past it, if I'm not careful, my tail will pull it down or knock it down) I also shock people whenever I get angry. (Though I've done this much less as of late)

CourageHound September 16th, 2013 6:28 PM

What five words would you choose to describe your personality?
Simple, dedicated, vigilant, quiet, thoughtful, and agreeable.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I would considered my greatest achievement was when I evolved into a Crobat and beat Typhon, the leader of the Wind Masters in a race. I felt so accomplished, and everyone was very proud of me.

When and where are you the happiest?
I am most happy when I can look around myself and everything is functioning smoothly, within a calm air, and in a peaceable motion. I experience this everyday as I roost contently, gazing at the scenery on top of the pinnacle.

You guard the Sky Plate. How much would you sacrifice to keep it safe?
I would sacrifice whatever is necessary to keep it out of the wrong hands.

For how long have you been guarding it?
For about four years

Did guarding it change you, as a person?
No, not really. Although association with thee Skyhaven council over the years does give me insight and knowledge of the events of Atlica.

Has there been anyone who tried to get to the Plate? A thief, a criminal?
There were a number of attempts to take the plate the first few years. However as they were all disposed of and my fierce reputation of the Sky Plate guardian grew, less and less pokemon with the intention of stealing the plate come to the Pinnacle.

Does it get lonely where you are currently living?
During my time as the Plate's caretaker, I cant say that I've ever been noticeably lonely. Both the fealing of solitude and the presence of company alike have felt like its own fortress to me.

What's your favorite food that you hardly ever find?
Though the nearby forest is littered with berries of many varieties, I scramble to find Sitris Berries which are always ripe refreshing to the body.

What are your religious views? Do you think the Paragon of the Sky is the God that deserves to be praised most, or you think Arceus is superior to every other being?
I believe that while the Paragons are powerful entities, that Arceus as the creator of the plates and Paragons themselves is superior. This does not mean that I do not also respect the Paragons, just a lesser degree.

What are your political views? Surely, as the sole guardian of the Plate, you are an important individual in Skyhaven, which means every political party would want to be on your good side. The Council, the Trade Prince, the Cyalan Ambassador - which is the lesser evil, do you believe?
Even though i try to stay impartial to the pilitical parties, I'm not a fan of King Aion and the Cylans nor do I believe the Trade Prince's motives are completely pure. I currently view the Skyhaven council to be the most benevolent at most times.

Do you think that the crusade for justice King Aion started in Duskwood against the Anonymous Brotherhood was righteous? Or do you think he did it to acquire the Plate?
Weather or not the crusade was for the plate doesn't change the fact that the action was excessive. The plate was probably the King's Primary motive.

Have you ever been in Area 52, have you met Elder Durand? If yes, are you familiar with the cause of the heroes that have set out in a journey?
No but I did receive the message. However I could not leave the Pinnacle for such an extended period of time to visit area 52. One of the heroes however, has informed me of their quest.

Are you able to take a life freely? Do you think it has any value that you have to respect?
I've had to take lives before, namely those who insist on the theft of the SkyPlate despite warnings. So yes, I can take the lives of people who are shamelessly wicked. I do respect the value of life however.

Are you an honest person, or a shady one?
I'm honest and fairly direct.

If you are weary of intruders, how do you treat people in general? Since you seem distant, perhaps they'll get the wrong impression of you.
I am weary of intruders and am not usually very lenient when it comes to people who intentionally trespass. This has lead people to believe that I am a mean and scary person, which at least the former isn't true. I do find my general demeanor to repel rather than to attract most of the time. However I find myself very dedicated to those I do happen to get to know.

Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
In the morning I do my routinely flight in and around the area then perimeter of the pinnacle grounds. Then I eat a morning meal, usually with things i find and cook myself. Mid-day is mostly filled with routine battle and flight exercises followed by the reading of the many books and tomes most graciously provided for me. However during these activities my senses are as vigilant as ever and prepared to spot any intruder. Evening to dusk I usually stiffen my patrols and surveillance. I can't fathom why many people seem to believe that invading the vessel would somehow be easier under the cover of night, disregarding that I am inherently a creature of the night. I usually find time for sleep during dawn or the slow hours of mid-day.

Though I value my schedule but I do appreciate a change of pace from time to time. Such as when old friends stop by shortly, or when I'm called to Skyhaven by the council. However I do get annoyed when a theft attempt arises or the weather is bad for an extended period of time.

Paige Berlitz September 18th, 2013 1:42 PM

Well i carry 2 katanas on my back.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

I kinda have a foot fetish that nobody knows about and also I have Dyslexia and ADHD. I like to play with fire and water and I often make a lot of steam and I end up giving away our position just so I can do push ups when we reach safety again.


Well hope this helps me lol.

Iqid Loopz September 18th, 2013 3:32 PM

One of the OC main character in my first ever fic.

What is your full name?
My name is Commander Poliwrath A-062. But Commander Poliwrath for short.

When and where were you born?

I was told I was born on Planet Fortune. A planet like Earth but ten types larger. And my date of birth is classified. But guess all you want.

Who are/were your parents?

I was raised in the military. Some say I was kidnapped while I was an egg. Some say my parents died in a conflict between humans, and the good side adopted me. Either way, I don't want to know, to prevent any obsession on finding and knowing the true facts about my parents. It's for the greater good, and for my own sake. But I treat my Commanding Officer Colonel Jet and leader of my military group Supreme Argonaut Mewtwo, as my fathers. Who's wings I've have been under for so many years while in duty.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I used to have a family. 50 young health Poliwags, and a beautiful Poliwhirl wife... but their lives were shorten due to a Rocket Nation attack .I only have a few Poliwag children left and I was force to be separated from them, for security purposes. Only blood relative I know of, is my brother. Politoed B-186. Who is also in the same military program as me. Who recently died during the war. Other then him. The only family I have closes to me, 24/7 of the time. The team I lead into combat. Loyal Team. Which consist of 19 extraordinary and odd individuals.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
I presume this interview is a family friendly interview. So I'll respect that by saying. War is ugly and horrific. People hate ugly and horrific things. And that's all I can say about my past. It's ugly and horrific.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
My team is stationed in Foxway Base on Planet Fortune. Do you really want me to state the 19 other individuals that I live with?

What do you do for a living?

I am an Argonaut. A special military program where few selected Pokemon are given a chance to be given augmentations, ability enhancements, and special military training. And sent into battle where only Argonauts can succeeded as victor. But our "program" is no longer as a part of the military, only funded and supported. We are our own singularity.

Do you have any special abilities?

Beside the standard abilities that a regular Poliwrath has. My abilities are extremely beefed up and enhanced by a hundred percent. I can use a hydro pump, and knock down a multiple skyscraper in one shot, if I committed on doing it. I have mastered the sword, shield combination or spear and shield combination. Both really deadly in my hands. But it's my large round bronze Spartan shield that people should be afraid of. It looks and sounds painful if you're in a collision with it. I command my team with high intellectual and affective tactics and commands.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.


Though the persist height and weight of me is classified. But I can assure you I'm around 6 foot 5, at around 300 pounds. No hair and my eyes are black. On and off battle I wear my custom made leather covered bronze body plated and leggings, to protect me. It's round like my body and protects any large masses of flesh. I wear a red cape on my back and wear a Spartan helmet for head and facial protection.

I don't have tattoos, but I do have one scar running down the side of my left eyes. And three scars on my right arm, and finally a very large scar going diagonally near the top of my spiral chest.

To which social class do you belong?
I'm a high ranking officer with in the military, so I'm well feared and equally well respected. But I don't exist out side the military.


Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
I am immune to allergies and diseases. My augmentations and alterations made my body and its immune system extraordinarily resistant to all, even cancer. But I am no immortal. I can be slayed. Simple sword strike on me from someone who is equally strong as me can kill me. You can try to emotionally and psychologically damage me but it will be tough. Because I am trained into resisting that was well.

What does your voice sound like?
Deep. And frog like, if you must.

What do you have in your pockets?

Does my sword holster count? Because it's the closes thing to a pocket like you said.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?


After years of fighting and killing. I become cold heart. taking lives or imprisoning it as prisoners of war, even the death of an Argo, especially a team member of mine and my own brother. I'll simply mourn them for the night, then move on into the next day like nothing emotionally damaged me. But the people I kill, I don't really care about them in the end, their casualties. It's life.

I don't have a effective stress reliever, so I have the tendency to hit my teammates with my fist and shield. Due to the personality of my teammates. I became more shallow, and less heartfelt, more like destroy positive attitudes with negative vibes. Like mentioning missions, in such up joy moments. And also resistant against idiocy, and immaturity because of my teammates. And more of a "straight to the point" and not wasting anytime type of person.

But I guarantee you and my team guarantees you. If things come down to the wire or a member of my teams life is in jeopardy. I set all feelings, tie ins, and bond I have with them a side, and will throw them under the bus, that's IF I'm ordered too. If I'm not ordered. It's my team over everything except for each other, soldiers, other Argos and if it must civilians. But it's also my teams decisions to sacrifice themselves if they want to, and as a good leader. I must do what makes them happy, and others happy, and not for myself. By allowing them to sacrifice themselves. As much it bothers me, as much it will make me feel regretful, I must do it, for them.

I suffer from lack of sleep, from stress. Like I said no effective stress reliever besides hitting my teammates awake, or taking a life. And I've been living like that for many years now. Ugly and Horrific habit.

I expect you to be satisfied with my answers. Good day to you.

One of my favorite OC from one of the comic books I hope to create.

Ricochet

Little Background: Has the ability to make bullets bounce of him due to an accident that happened years ago.

What is your full name?
I was born Richard Chetner, but my friends call me Dick. I don't particularly like it. *laughs*

When and where were you born?
I was born in Red City, Nevada in 1963. It was a huge city. Gigantic. I've heard New York ain't got [censored] on it.

Who are/were your parents?
My parents were Daniel and Michelle Chetner. They were good people. Loved me dearly. Broke their hearts when I headed to RCU.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
I do. I have a wife, I met her in 1989 Nanya and a son. Richard Jr. I love him so much. We had a hard time taking care of him. I had to take a crap-ton of loan's just to survive. Not that I blame our son. No, not at all. Just a fact.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Well I became Ricochet, the hero of Red City a long time ago. As I said, I took out a lot of loans to support my family. Once I couldn't make the payments, they started harassing my family. Calling me day in and day out. It wasn't until 1996, the year of "the accident" did my life change forever. On the 12th of October. I was on my way home and a group of thugs, I suspect collectors for my loans, grabbed and carted me to, uh, to a wax factory. Waxing Smarts, was the companies name, they're closed now, if I remember correctly. As they were driving me to the factory, I speed dialed the police so they could track my location. Hoped that would get me before I got [censored]. *laughs*. They held me on a cat walk above a giant vat of wax inside the factory and just... they just tossed me off the cat walk. I remember about 30 seconds of being in that wax before I blacked out. Next thing I know, I'm in a hospital. My body feels stiff. My family was there. Personally relieved that those [censored] didn't hurt my family. Two days later I get released.

Police were calling a lot, asking how I ended up in that wax. I wanted to protect my family, so I told them I fell while I was being chased by rabid dog. Don't know if they believed me, didn't really matter. As far as I was concerned there were no collectors.

2 days after that, I get a call. From the collectors. Turns out they found out I hadn't died. They tell me-they say: "Come down to the North Side Docks" I say: "Leave my family alone." they say: "We promise we will, just come to the docks." So what do I do? I go. I take their word for it.

I, uh, I write a note to my family, saying I can't be with them. Truly the hardest thing I could have ever done. Told her that so much debt piled up, she and Jr. would be safer without me in their lives.

So I head to the date with destiny and those guys are right there. Waiting for me. Guns drawn and everything. They tell me-they say: "Gonna' make sure you're dead this time." so they shoot me. What do you think happens, huh? Guess. Bullets bounce off me like Superman. "Bing-ping-zing" right off.

Eventually they get scared and shoot some more. Bullets going every where. They bounce off me, eventually, and go into them. Both of them dead. I wouldn't call the circumstances "Murder" per se, more so. Assisted Suicide. *laughs*.

Really not convinced. I did the stupidest thing I could ever think to do, you ready for this. I shoot myself in the head, literally! Pick up a gun from the dead-guys. Put the muzzle to my head and pulled that [censored]ed trigger. What do you think happens? "Zing" that bullets bounces off my head and right back into the gun. Explodes in my hand. Hurt like a [censored]. *laughs*

So now, I think I'm invincible, right? Superman for sure. I hear sirens though. Heard the shots, I'm sure. So I book it to the warehouse on the docks there. Hid until they left. Decide that I'm going to go home, see my family once more before I vanish for good.

I get "home." and wait at the fence. See more-[censored]ed thugs pull up. Ready to kill them both. Without even thinking, without even questioning the motives. I just rushed up. Grabbed my son's baseball bat off the lawn. Bullets still bouncing off me. *laughs* and I just... I just beat 'em. Didn't kill them. They ran before that. I look into the window of my house... and I ... I see my family looking at me... Wondering who the hell I am. You know? I nod once more and I run off. Sirens ring through the night. Nanya must of called the cops.

On my way to wherever the hell I was going. I remembered I wanted to be a police officer and thought this... this thing I had... this power to take bullets... and go with it. I mean a police officer was out of the question, right? Killed two guys in the dock. Didn't have the merit to be a police officer. Wouldn't do it if I could. So I went vigilante. From afar I would keep an eye on my family. I made an eye mask and grabbed a fedora. Got a long trench coat. Changed my name Ricochet. So I was born.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.

I live by myself in the North Side Dock's Warehouse. Just me and my thoughts.

What do you do for a living?


*laughs* Didn't I make it clear? Vigilante... Like a Batman or something. *laughs*. Not a superhero, god no. Just a ... just a tough skinned [censored].

Do you have any special abilities?

Went over this. Did you forget already? *laughs* Uh. The wax hardened enough on my skin to make it so ballistics can't hurt me. They sting, I mean, yeah. But they don't kill me. I'm also a decent fighter. Little crazy, but decent. *laughs*

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

I'm, uh, what? About five-eleven? Something like? two-hundred and ten pounds. I have blue eyes see. *pulls bottom eye lid down.* I wear a trench coat, fedora and eye mask at all times. I can't even hint that that guy who saved Nanya and Jr. in 1996 was me.

To which social class do you belong?

Uh, Vigilante I think you would call it?

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?

No I'm a healthy guy. Physically fit. However, the only thing that my "powers" don't protect me against is brute force. *laughs* seriously! If I get hit by a car, I'd be as dead as anyone else.

What does your voice sound like?

Not deep, average adult voice. Kind of high.

What do you have in your pockets?

Notepad, chewed up pencil, hand drawn map of Red City... or what's left of it. *laughs*

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?


Uh. Very paranoid. I think my time in the wax made me a little skittish. But I mean, who wouldn't, right? When I'm writing I chew on that pencil like taffy. But yeah that's me.

Thanks for your time, guys!

(Ray said I could help out this topic, so if you're all wondering why I'm asking questions then that's why :P Hi)

Questions for Serena (Daughter of the Dawn):

  • Obviously, I'm interested by the fact that you have a foot fetish. Where did that come from? Have you had any partners (if you've had any at all) that were okay with it?
  • How did you burn your house down? Was it underwater or on land? If it was underwater, how did it burn down?
  • What are the names of your Frog and your Fox? Describe their personality.
  • You say you're 10 years old, but you have the appearance of, well, a really short, fat teenage girl. Are things like this common in your race?
  • You say you're protecting a Dragon, correct? Why are you protecting it? What makes it so special? Is there an old folk tale associated with it? Do you know if it's even real? Does everyone in your race know about it or learn about it at some point, or is the knowledge of it kept a secret for only a select few?
  • You like to travel a lot, obviously. Do you prefer any specific places to stay at? Do you prefer water over land, or vice versa?
  • So, you can use fire underwater because your father was raised by the Water Dragon. Were others' parents raised by the dragon as well, or only your father? Are your dad and the Dragon related, and if so, how?

Questions for Vash (couragehound):

  • So, Vash. That's quite an interesting name. Is there any hidden meaning behind it, or is it just a name?
  • Wind Masters? Explain a bit more about them. What are they? What is their purpose, or what do they do? Where do they reside?
  • Have ever thought about/attempted to find/contact your siblings?
  • A Crobat with no weakness to daylight. Interesting. Do you prefer one over the other? Do either of them hinder you in any way?
  • Articulate about your fight with the Skarmory. Who won? Other than your scar, did you escape with other injuries? Was it 1-on-1, or did the Skarmory have help? Did anyone come to help you?
  • Do you think you take things too seriously? Have any of your experiences caused you to lack a sense of humor, or was it just that way since you were born?
  • Are most Pokemon in the Zubat family similar to you? Describe some of their common personality traits.
  • Why would your pockets be stuffed with food? Are you a heavy eater? What's your favorite food?

Questions for Bardon (slayer231):

  • You didn't give a lot of info to go off of. Do you not like talking about yourself and your life, or was that unintentional?
  • Describe the Srain race in more detail. What do they normally look like? What are some common personality traits?
  • If it's not too difficult for you, would you be willing to explain how your mother passed?
  • Have you ever asked why you don't visit your parents' parents? If so, how did your dad react?
  • There seems to be unrest between humans and Srians. Is this worldwide, or only in your school? Are Srians considered inferior to humans? Is there any public discrimination, such as signs that separate Srain facilities from human facilities? If so, why are Srians allowed on the planet you live on if they are oppressed in such a way? (This is under the assumption that this is on Earth; if it's on another planet, please explain some things about this planet and how humans ended up on it).
  • Some of your answers indicated that you aren't very wealthy. Is it like this for most Srians? Do Srians have a harder time finding a job than humans? Has your father attempted to get a better paying job at any point?
  • Do you do well in school? If not, what holds you back? Do Srians struggle in human school, or do they have their own school?
  • Are Srians expected to conform to human society, or are they separate?
  • Are Srians permitted to have romantic relationships (sexual and non-sexual) with humans, or is it strictly Srian-Srian? Is it illegal? Have there been people that you know of who have attempted these kinds of relationships?
  • Do you get in fights a lot, or was this fight with the kid a rare occurrence? If you do get in fights, does the discrimination, if any, against Srians influence this?

Nolafus September 18th, 2013 10:25 PM

You didn't give a lot of info to go off of. Do you not like talking about yourself and your life, or was that unintentional?
Sorry, I don't really think of my life as interesting. It was unintentional, I'll try to go into more details this time.

Describe the Srain race in more detail. What do they normally look like? What are some common personality traits?
Well, we kind of look like lizards? I know the adult Srains I know are taller than normal humans. I guess the best words I can find are reptilian humanoids. I would say lizards, but my dad says that's demeaning, or something. We're different shades of green, normally males are darker than the females, but our eyes can be just about any color.

If it's not too difficult for you, would you be willing to explain how your mother passed?
Have you ever asked why you don't visit your parents' parents? If so, how did your dad react?
My mom died five years ago, because of police brutality. Apparently there was this big gang outbreak, but to make a long story short, she got confused as one of the gang members and beat to death. He starts to cry whenever he tells the story, but I mean can you blame him? After that happened, my dad became really distant for about a month. Then, one day he woke up and acted like it never happened, it was really creepy. I guess that's why I like to pester him with questions, to reassure myself he still cares. We try to visit my grandparents on my mom's side every year, but my dad and grandpa get into a fight shortly after we arrive and we end up leaving. I don't think I have ever seen my grandparents on my dad's side. I've asked before and he said that they don't want to see him. I don't really know anything about that as my dad doesn't talk about his past. I know he's done some pretty bad things, but that's about it.

There seems to be unrest between humans and Srians. Is this worldwide, or only in your school? Are Srians considered inferior to humans? Is there any public discrimination, such as signs that separate Srain facilities from human facilities? If so, why are Srians allowed on the planet you live on if they are oppressed in such a way? (This is under the assumption that this is on Earth; if it's on another planet, please explain some things about this planet and how humans ended up on it).
Yes, we live on Earth. Srains have been here for about three generations, so I guess you could say we're still going around the world. Most of us still live in California, but some others have gone off to the other parts of the world. From what I learned at school, some Srainian scientists discovered Earth and flew over to check it out. Some Srains wanted to stay, and here we are. The oppression is more of a social mentality than anything. There's a rule on the bus that Srains can't sit if humans would have to stand, but that's pretty much it. I think some humans are angry because now there's the same amount of jobs, but now for more beings. I don't quite understand it myself, so that's about all I can give you.

Some of your answers indicated that you aren't very wealthy. Is it like this for most Srians? Do Srians have a harder time finding a job than humans? Has your father attempted to get a better paying job at any point?
I know that the poor thing is the general culture, if that makes sense. There are a few towns that are pretty much only made of Srains, to avoid that social thing. The social void is the biggest problem right now. My dad has been a firefighter the entire time I've been alive, so I don't know. I should ask him.

Do you do well in school? If not, what holds you back? Do Srians struggle in human school, or do they have their own school?
I say I'm an average student. My dad cares a lot about my education, so he makes sure we do well. I have a 3.2 GPA, so I'm doing fine. We get grouped in with the human kids, from what I can tell, there will never be a law or rule separating us because of the "separate, but equal" thing that happened way back when.

Are Srians expected to conform to human society, or are they separate?
This question makes it seem so forceful. I don't know, I guess what you refer to as the "human society", is what I've lived by my entire life. The towns are as separated as it gets, physically.

Are Srians permitted to have romantic relationships (sexual and non-sexual) with humans, or is it strictly Srian-Srian? Is it illegal? Have there been people that you know of who have attempted these kinds of relationships?
I guess they're allowed, but I personally haven't heard of anything like that. I would think it's frowned upon socially, but no law makes it illegal.

Do you get in fights a lot, or was this fight with the kid a rare occurrence? If you do get in fights, does the discrimination, if any, against Srians influence this?
It was my first fight. If you asked me, the bully had it coming. He just rants what he heard from his dad, just an idiot in my books. I know that Srains have developed a sort of ominous culture with the presence of several gangs. Because some humans are so against srains having "their" jobs, a lot of srains have resorted to selling drugs. I would never do anything like that, and I plan to be the first srain in my family to graduate high school.

Konekodemon September 19th, 2013 9:57 PM

If she cannot control her sword 'most' of the time, is there anything she can do about that? One would think that in her line of work, control of a sword is fairly necessary.

Sesshomaru, helps her train and she eventually learns how to control it.

In a similar vein, why is it that Sakura can't control her sword?

It's actually a sword forged from a demon fang that was once used by her annsister Midoriko.

Why does Sakura do what she does? What drives her in her journey?

She is a Priestess, it's her job. And her job is what drives her on her journey. Plus she wants to one day destroy Naraku.

Do Sakura's siblings travel with her? If so, what do they do?

Sakura only has one sibling and that is Rin. As she's a little kid Rin mostly plays.

Why does she beat up Jaken a lot?

She finds Jaken to be very annoying and he's always bad mouthing her.

INTERVIEW CONCLUDED // D: 9.20.2013 //

Foxrally September 20th, 2013 1:59 PM

Spoiler:
This is for my character from the roleplay Avatar: New Legends. BTW, whenever Ryan talks about "the Homeland", he basically means his home tribe (which I couldn't make up a name for XD)

  • What is your full name?

    Ryan Jack Cutlass. If you've ever been to the south, you've probably heard that name.

  • When and where were you born?

    We don't really count years and dates back in the homeland. And as far as I know, I was born on my grandfather's ship on a full moon. How lucky is that for a waterbender?

  • Who are/were your parents?

    My father, Jack Cutlass, is a sailor, businessman and fisherman. Yep, all three. You gotta learn what to do when one doesn't work, right? My mother, Annabelle Cutlass, is the ship's doctor. She tried to teach me healing before freezing but it turns out my smaller sister's better at that lady stuff.

  • Do you have any family other than your parents?

    As I mentioned, I have a smaller sister named Jeanne, aged 8 - also a waterbender. I also have an uncle living in Republic City - works in the medicine field like my mom - and a few far cousins here and there among the crew. Technically, we're all one huge damn family!

  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?

    *Cough* Nooottt really. I mean, not that I don't trust you, I'm just uncomfortable saying it in public. I'll pass on that one.

  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.

    When you're a sailor you've got more than one home, my friend! I've sailed around with my dad so much, ever since I was a little boy, and met so many people and seen so many places, you can say the world is my home!

  • What do you do for a living?

    Different jobs. Usually I help my father around with handling the ships and the business going on.

  • Do you have any special abilities?

    Pfft. Waterbender, mate?

  • To which social class do you belong?

    I'd say it depends on where I am. But since we're in Republic City, I'd say lower middle class. It's completely different back in the homeland. Our family is one of the ruling ones of the whole area.

  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?

    Well, I do have hyperactivity, but it rarely affects me anymore.

  • What do you have in your pockets?

    Wait, lemme check. *feels around in pockets* Money I won from a bet, a rag to polish my cutlass, a -em- something which looks like a rat dropping (I don't even want to know what that is, oh goodness me), and a box of fish-flavored crackers - those aren't for me, they're for my Falcon. I'm serious. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! I DON'T EAT THOSE!


Trev September 20th, 2013 2:38 PM

Questions for Ryan (Foxrally):

  • Why don't the people in your homeland count years and dates? Do they have their own time system?
  • How does your farther manage to juggle all three of those jobs? They all would take tremendous amounts of time out of his day, especially when put together. Does he do one at a time or has he found a balance?
  • How did your parents meet?
  • Gotta answer all the questions truthfully. Let's hear that story from the past. Why are you so adamant about sharing it?
  • How did your family become a ruling family in your Homeland? You've hinted that you're possibly a pirate; did you become ruling through a complete takeover or are you guys just that wealthy?
  • During your travels, did you meet anyone exotic and interesting? Tell me some stories.
  • What places in the world have you visited? Anything significant/awe-inspiring about them?
  • So, you're in Republic City. Are you living there or is this just a stop?
  • How about detailing some of your abilities as a Waterbender? Although there's a common "base style" of Waterbending, it changes amongst everyone.
  • Are you the captain of your crew? Do they listen to you, or do they push you around? What are they like?
  • Is your last name Cutlass because of your weapon? Do you realize how corny that is?
  • How's your love life? Interested in anyone?


Blackey448 September 20th, 2013 3:43 PM

Okay, here's to a first try :)

What is your full name?

Aaru. Aaru the Riolu.

When and where were you born?

I hatched in the Forests of Tranquility a few years ago.

Who are/were your parents?

... I have no idea. I hatched alone, after all.

Do you have any family other than your parents?

Not that I know of.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?

I once took down a squad of Sneasel single-pawdedly.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.

Right now, I live in Mastery Towers, this gigantic castle-type place built right into the Sterilite Mountains. It is very elegant, but simple in its overall design. It radiates peace and fullness of spirit. It is where Fighting-Types go to study the Aura and to try and make the most of their lives.

I technically share the place with many, many pure, part, and waiting-to-evolve Fighting Types, and Eevee have recently been accepted to, but I think I'll just describe the two I share a room/am in a team with and my class mentor.

I guess I'll start with Tyrone. He's a very generically named Tyrouge, but doesn't really rush into conflicts and can really be highly opinionated. He's really great a battling and has an orange band. Other than that, I know next to nothing about him.

Ember's up next. He is a very hyper Chimchar whom very few can rival in an eating contest, myself discluded. He's also really friendly and is usually the one to get us out of most things orally, because he could make you believe the Apocalypse is coming if he put as little as half his mind to it. He's got a neon green scarf. I also really hope he changes his name when he evolves, because I can't IMAGINE what a nightmare it'd be if he kept his name as he evolved.

Now, lastly is Ms. Ryu. She's my class' mentor and a Lucario. She's so calm that she could give even Arceus a run for his money if they both entered a 'stay calm' contest, she is so impossible to make mad. Unless you say that you want to use the Aura for ill, in which case she'll...*shudder* punish you more than ever thought possible...

I just now realized that I should never speak of my past to her...

What do you do for a living?

Right now I'm a student at Mastery Towers.

Do you have any special abilities?

A lot of Pokemon here gush that I have a very deep and mastered connection to the Aura, because I know moves that Riolu usually don't know after they've evolved, but I really don't get them. The way of the Aura has always been very natural to me, and I don't understand that it takes some Pokemon years to master it. You just...use it. No practice required.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

I guess I'm average height & weight of any other Riolu, but think I'm a little bit taller than most. I've got pretty standard Riolu characteristics all around, too.

No scars, tattoos honestly kinda freak me, and...Pokemon don't really dress, but I keep this bag with me at most times *pats the large, brown bag slung across shoulder* and I usually wear my blue ribbon.

I've also got a hatchmark on my right arm. Some people say that-if you look at it just right-it's in the shape of a cherry blossom petal, but to me, it just looks kinda like...a blob.

To which social class do you belong?

...I can truly say that-right now-I have no idea.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?

Other than the generic Psychic-Type weakness of all Fighting-Types, I don't think so...

What does your voice sound like?

I..uhh...*clears throat* I've heard it's a little deep for a girl's voice, but I don't really know...

What do you have in your pockets?

You mean my purse? Probably enough to start a minimarket.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

I really like to wear cloaks. I like how...powerful they can make you feel. I'm also not very social, but with my beginnings, I find it a little lucky I can actually speak.

Oh, and for some reason I tend to make Pokemon hold grudges on me. Let bygones be bygones, why don' cha?

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 20th, 2013 4:41 PM

What the heck, I'll give this a shot, even if I don't have any writing projects in the foreseeable future. Besides, I've been trying to transition my character from Pokemon trainer to badass secret agent anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I will likely be very slow to reply to this, so you'll have to bear with me.

What is your full name?
Dr. Lisa Kimberly Northwood, CPA. I'm also known as "Special Agent 00479."

When and where were you born?
May 15, 1991, in Seneca, Oconee County, South Carolina.

Who are/were your parents?
Douglas and Brooke, founders and top executives of a large, international corporation.

Do you have any family other than your parents?
Lindsay, who's six years younger. She's off training or participating in contests somewhere.

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
No, I'm just the typical super-genius who graduated college at age 13 and has been doing her parents' income taxes since she was six.

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Baxter Village, in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It's a large, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3 story townhouse with a 2-car attached garage. I also own property a few miles from my home on which I have a steel storage building to house the remainder of my cars.

Sometimes my work has me on the road for weeks at a time, during which time I'm usually living out of hotels. I've developed an affinity for the Comfort, Quality, and Sleep chains, as I feel they offer me the most for the money.

What do you do for a living?
I run a lucrative online business that specializes in web design, hosting, and development. I'm also an on-call special agent for the Pokemon League's Investigation Division. But from mid-February to mid-April, I'm in full accountant mode as tax season looms.

Do you have any special abilities?
I'm skilled with math, computers, and extreme driving. Thanks to training, I've also become pretty good at martial arts and use of firearms. I'm also adept at portraying a girl much younger than my actual age, which has come in handy on a number of assignments, especially those where I have to pose as a beginning Pokemon trainer in order to bring people to justice.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
5'1", 105 pounds, long brown hair and brown eyes. I always wear dresses or skirts with hosiery. My normal outfit is a blue floral print dress, green blouse, white tights, black dress shoes, and a white hat with purple ribbon and bow.

To which social class do you belong?
Definitely upper class. My net worth is around $25 million and growing.

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
I used to be weak physically and rather clumsy during my training days, but thanks to rigorous special agent training, I've been able to compensate for those weaknesses. Certain fabrics, denim in particular, cause my body to break out in hives. I am also allergic to peanuts and eggs, though they don't bother me unless I actually consume them. For some reason, I'm allergic to dogs, but not to any other animal.

What does your voice sound like?
Typical teenage girl, someone a few years younger than me. Naturally I have a bit of a Southern accent.

What do you have in your pockets?
My dresses don't have pockets, lol. In my purse, I routinely carry around my wallet, keys, my old cell phone from 2002, a digital camera, and a TI-89 calculator. And if I'm conducting a criminal investigation, my Glock 22 pistol and police identification (badge, etc) are always within easy reach.

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I enjoy making stupid math/car jokes. I fidget with my clothes when nervous, and have ruined many pairs of hosiery doing so. Due to my dog allergy, I understandably don't like being around them. I don't like being away from civilization. I hate camping, hiking, or even being anywhere that's not near a developed, populated area, and I'm known to complain loudly and constantly in such situations. I actually think I'm worse regarding this now than I was a few years ago.

I am EXTREMELY brand loyal, and will very rarely use a product or service or shop at a location that is not among my trusted brands.

T!M September 20th, 2013 10:16 PM

QUESTIONS FROM AGENT SLAYR
Do you have any arch-enemies?
Only one, his name is The Ape. A human who was transformed in a primal ape like creature. He's in containment now but there is no telling for how long.

Who are some of the villains you have faced?
Only The Ape other than that, some common thugs and gang bangers.

Any close-encounters to defeat/death you can tell us?
The Ape almost choked me to death, very scary situation to be sure.

Do you have a secret lair? Don't tell us where it is, just if one exists.
I do not.

How long have you been protecting the city?
I put the mask on in 1999 and it's 2013 right now? So... ... ....

14 years?

Do you enjoy the spotlight, or are you more secretive?
I enjoy the praise of being a hero. But not for the reasons you might think. People need to know I'm here to help them. So if that means getting my fifteen minutes of fame via the media. Then so be it.

Does the city have some way of contacting you if the city needs help?
Not that I'm aware of. I tend to just scour the streets during the day and night.

Have you met any other heroes?
I met that creepy guy Ricochet multiple times. Gross looking dude. His coat's all stained. Mumbles to himself. *Laughs* Don't know if you'd qualify him as a hero.

What's your fighting style? Do you use your tail in fights?
Judo. This might answer your question. The first time I took on The Ape, when he was choking me. I had to use my tail to grab a torn power-line and shocked him into submission.

Biggest mission you have successfully completed?
The battle with The Ape almost claimed the lives of countless civilians. Before I arrived he caused a explosion at MaxwellCo.'s warehouse and another a few blocks down. The clean up I helped with didn't show any dead. Many were hurt.

The RCPD helped greatly. When I was being choked, they took some shots and distracted him long enough for me to zap him.

S.H.I.E.L.D. FILES // TIER I CLASSIFIED // TOP SECRET
Spoiler:

Have you told anyone of your alter-ego?
No one, sir. Only SHIELD.

What inspired you to take this up?
A child's dream and revenge, sir.

Has anyone ever caught you, or come close?
The Ape aka Robert Rawson, sir. Turned himself into The Ape. Almost killed me. You have the files.

Is anyone around you getting suspicious?
Guys at my work seem to be getting a little suspicious. But not enough to make them ask me questions.

Is there a certain strategy of keeping you alter-ego a secret? Especially if you have someone over?
No sir, no friends. No one comes over. People at work hate me. Thank god.

Does the tail break down often?
No sir. After every patrol I do a routine check.

How long did you have to save up for the parts required?
Stole them from MaxwellCo., a day, sir.

Do you ever hang out with friends?
No sir.

How do you explain injuries you get from you alter-ego?
I call in sick when something serious happens. But during gang busts I tell them I fell. I have special requirements on my applications that, in short, explain I'm very clumsy. Sir.

Sephear September 21st, 2013 12:52 AM

  • What is your full name?
    Davian... ugh...Thaddeus Krotesse

  • When and where were you born?
    I was born in my parents' home in Republic City 18 years ago. Not too sure of the date, I suppose my parents are big enough traditionalists that they didn't want to birth me in a hospital. That must have been quite a special day since a large number of talented benders were born that day.

  • Who are/were your parents?
    Tau and Vivian Krotesse.
    My father Tau is a skilled Earth Bender, he used to be a part of Republic City's police force until his arm was broken while chi-blocked in an Equalist Ambush. After his arm healed physically they were never able to make the chi flow properly again so he had to retire. My mother Vivian came from a farmer family a couple of miles away from Republic City that was set on considering themselves still Earth Kingdom citizens, not sure how she ended up here but living in one of the denser parts of Republic City doesn't lend well to farming so she's a botanist. Her cousin owns a very unlucky cabbage cart... dunno what's up with that, something about a bad marriage decision bringing a cabbage curse into the family.

  • Do you have any family other than your parents?

    The Cabbage vendor I mentioned... and I had a non-biological brother, I'd prefer it if we didn't talk about him, tomorrow is the anniversary of his death.

    Besides the cabbage guy neither of my parents ever talks about their families.

  • Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
    Well, when I was five monks from the Order of the White Lotus took me and a bunch of other kids with bending in their blood to some sort of camp where they trained us in hopes of discovering the Avatar. They did and it wasn't me, but that's okay. It was there that I discovered I was a good Metal Bender and that gave me a purpose so I'm happy... although it was a long time before I got Earth Bending down. Besides I found my own way to stand out in combat, I don't need to bend every element.

  • Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
    Well, as of right now I just pick an inn every couple of days, I can afford to do it for a while and I don't feel I should live with my parents anymore.

  • What do you do for a living?
    For a while I was a miner, then I added blacksmith to the list, those were my only two jobs and I still have savings left over from them.

  • Do you have any special abilities?

    I'm a Metal Bender if that wasn't already obvious, and I'm a good fighter with or without my bending. Otherwise there's not much special about me, I can think on my feet and I know several different weapons' fighting styles and can switch at the tip of a hat.

  • Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
    Why would I need to explain that? You can see me just fine can't y - oh right, for the record yeah? Well I'm six foot one, kinda pale thanks to all the time I spent inside and underground the past few years. My eyes are coincidentally silver and I've got straight black shoulder-length hair with a few blonde highlights...I didn't put them there. I... don't remember how they got there. I suppose I'm sort of attractive, girls have hit on me before, I mean I look fairly masculine at least... nothing special. I have one scare on my right cheek and one tiny scare on my left eyebrow, I've only made a few mistakes handling metal over the year but it only takes one to hurt yourself.

    I prefer to wear sleeveless green shirts with yellow trim in honor of my heritage and because green is my favorite color... yes I have multiple shirts that look the same I don't care for fashion. As for my legs I wear loose, baggy black pants because they're comfy and don't restrict my movement. On my feet steel-toed leather boots, I can wear them ANYWHERE and they deliver one hell of a kick, besides sometimes a clever bit of metal bending can help me run faster, balance better or kick harder with them.

  • To which social class do you belong?
    That's a tough question... does having been a prospect for Avatar at one point count for anything? My dad was an officer and my mom came from farmers so... lower-middle class I guess? Oh and I myself am - was a working man so yeah, lower middle.

  • Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
    Not necessarily... I'm physically capable of it and I know how to now but I do NOT Earth Bend... ever.

  • What does your voice sound like?
    That's a strange question to ask someone in an interview, don't peoples voices almost always sound different in their own heads than to other people? Deepish? Uhh... yeah sort of deep but still kind of boyish, I'm not really sure how else to say it.

  • What do you have in your pockets?
    I don't remember, now I'm curious. *digs around* Some lint... why does saying that feel redundant? A pocket knife and my money bag... That's really it, I don't generally keep things in my pockets.

  • Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
    Well I could do with avoiding fights and arguments a little harder. Everyone who used to be my friend seems to think I'm a jerk now...although I don't have any trouble getting along with people I deal with formally.

Cutlerine September 21st, 2013 2:22 AM

Questions for Mr. Krotesse:

You're no longer working as a miner or blacksmith - what exactly is it that you're doing now, and why are you doing it?

You talk a lot about combat and fighting. Does violence figure largely in your life?

Why is it that your friends now think you're a jerk? Is this related to your giving up of Earth Bending?

If not, why have you given it up?

I take it you dislike your middle name. What is it about it that you dislike?

Do you have any plans for the future? Your life seems a little aimless from what you've said so far.

Are there any other important people in your life you've not yet mentioned? What is their relation to you?


Questions for Dr. Northwood:

You say you have no stories from the past to share with us, but clearly your work must lead you into all sorts of interesting situations. Are you sure there really is nothing you'd like to share?

Are you particularly close to your sister? You seem hazy about both her whereabouts and the direction she's chosen for her career.

How did you get into the lines of work you're in? Your online business seems a world away from secret agenthood.

If your business is that large, do you not employ other people? It seems strange that you would choose, for instance, to devote a large portion of each year to doing your taxes when you could find equally talented people to do them for you.

What do you do with all that money? I'm genuinely curious; your answer might give me a rare insight into the mindset of the ludicrously wealthy.

Why do you remain a secret agent? Surely you can't be in it for the money.

What brands are you loyal to? And why are you so loyal? What have they ever done for you that the rest of us haven't?

(An observation: it really is quite amazing how so many of our interviewees have a very specific standard uniform of clothing. I've never encountered any other group of people who stick to one outfit so religiously.)

Foxrally September 21st, 2013 7:10 AM

Interview Part 1 (I'll post the rest of the questions later, feel free to ask any more questions till then):

  • Why don't the people in your homeland count years and dates? Do they have their own time system?

    Exactly. Since we're a huge tribe of waterbenders, we base our "calendar" on the moon and the tide. Plus, I think it's better that way. I've never really understood the concept or purpose of modern calendars, to be honest. I get that it's for reference, but it's too complicated. Our system is way simpler. Let me give you an example: If somebody owes me a thousand Yuan or so, and plans to give it to me in a month, he tells me "On the next equal moon", whereas if he plans to give it to me in a week he says "In a quarter-tide." So basically, if you reference to my birth date, you could say I was born on "The two-hundred-and-sixteenth equal moon, plus a few tides." Simple, right? *expects interviewer to get it*

  • How does your father manage to juggle all three of those jobs? They all would take tremendous amounts of time out of his day, especially when put together. Does he do one at a time or has he found a balance?

    Well, businessman and sailor both go together, as you'd guess. He owns around a dozen boats, each suited for a different purpose. The bigger ones are for carrying heavy goods, such as wood from Earth Kingdom forests or Coal from Fire Nation mines; the smaller ships are for consumable and quickly-expiring goods, such as fish, oil, fruits/vegetables, and Tobacco. Then there's a special, very small ship which is for extremely valuable goods. It's by far the fastest one and the most discrete, and we rarely use it. It's mostly used when my father gets orders from other important families. That ship is used for jewelry, confidential messages, and escorts. All in all, my dad may go to some of the tips and may not. He's always got work to do, though, but it doesn't bother us. We're always there with him anyway! Oh, and yeah, my dad can fish pretty well. More of a pastime than a job, really.

  • How did your parents meet?

    Oh, that's a long story. So basically, during the Equalist war, my father volunteered as an officer in the Water Tribe Navy. Most of the family were against it, but he felt like helping the innocent was his duty. He spent around five or six years there, until one day his ship was assaulted. The Equalists left no survivors, capturing all the benders and getting rid of the others. That was except for him and two other soldiers. While they were escaping, an Equalist managed to hit my father in the leg, paralyzing it. He fainted of blood loss before they could even reach land.

    Luckily, one the two other soldiers was a waterbender and the boat quickly reached land. They carried him to the nearest hospital, and he stayed there for over a month. That is when he met my mother. She was his nurse, and even luckier for him, she was of an equally famous family, from another tribe. After my father had recovered (thankfully his leg still worked), they started dating for a while, and eventually married (on a full moon, too!)

  • Gotta answer all the questions truthfully. Let's hear that story from the past. Why are you so adamant about sharing it?

    Because I don't want to. Okay that's it, I'm not trusting you, invisible interviewer.

  • How did your family become a ruling family in your Homeland? You've hinted that you're possibly a pirate; did you become ruling through a complete takeover or are you guys just that wealthy?

    A bit of both I guess. My family got wealthy through piracy - both robbing the rich and keeping important hostages. I guess my great-great-great-grandfather, Edward, got popular due to the way he respected his hostages and even his enemies. He turned an entire crew of immature dogs into civilized humans just by clicking his fingers. When they got old, him and his crew settled in one place, and he used all the wealth and respect he had gathered over the years to buy himself a good house and make the family name grow.

  • So, you're in Republic City. Are you living there or is this just a stop?

    As I said, I rarely stick to one place for too long, unless it's really necessary. When I come to Republic City, it's usually for a month or so. Right now I'm with my uncle.

  • How about detailing some of your abilities as a Waterbender? Although there's a common "base style" of Waterbending, it changes amongst everyone.

    I like originality when I bend. I mean, bending can be two things - useful and fun. For me, if it isn't fun, it's not useful. If it's not useful, it still can be fun. I like being "artistic", you could say? Many tricks I use have been taught to me by my grandpa, or I saw other people doing them, or I make it up myself - like that water-gun trick.


CoffeeDrink September 21st, 2013 2:28 PM

What is your full name?
My full title is Sister Superior Andra, The favored one, Captain of the Exorcist-Class starship: Justia Servus. I currently have no known last name or title.


When and where were you born?
I was birthed in a small temple of the Ecclesiarchy in the 41st millenium, 23 Terran years ago on some distant world now overrun by xenos. I know not what the planet was called.


Who are/were your parents?
I know not who, but what my mother was. My mother was from a hive world whose name escapes me. My father was a bastard who forcefully impregnated my mother. My mother died during childbirth, she was fourteen at the time.


Do you have any family other than your parents?
I believe I have none that are blood related. My family consists of those that serve directly under me and those that serve in the Order of the Valorous Heart.


Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
I have none at this time.


Where do you live, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
I currently reside on the Justia Servus along with thousands of others. Engineers, Priestess, clerks, Mecanicum priestess, fellow Sisters, etc. Some Sisters specialize in differing areas. Dialogous file and communicate as well as translate. Hospitallers are field medics as well as general care givers. Some are outfitted by the Mecanicum to produce medicines within their own bodies. Battle Sisters specialize in war and tactics. Of these Battle Sisters or 'Adeptus Sororitas', some specialize in heavy machinery i.e. tanks. Celestrians who are an anti-tank outfit. And the Seraphim who are our elite shock troops. There are many others. Most of the crew is female to prevent fornication with males. That's not to say that an engineering genius who is male has less worth than a female of equal status.


What do you do for a living?
I bring the word of the God-Emperor to the heathens, mutants, and heretics. I purge the filth of the witch from the stars, and crush the Ecclesiarchy's enemies to dust. I command a regiment of Sisters aboard my starship.


Do you have any special abilities?
I am a weapon. I used my tools to cut out the taint that spreads across the stars. I train myself on a daily basis. My tactics and commanding skills have been established as first class. The morale of my troops remains high at most times. I can do one handed pushups while performing a handstand. My record for this is 1207. My reaction time is faster than the average human by a number of seconds and I am faster than a large proportion of the populations on various worlds, due to strict regimental training.


Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.
Out of my armor I am 5'10" and I weigh 120 lbs, where most of this is muscle, and at least 5% of this is body fat. Inside my armor I am 6'8" and weigh 630 lbs without carrying any weapons. I could be classified as a Hiver, however it is unknown and quizzical as to why I have no birthing defects at all. My hair is dyed platinum Blonde/borderline to bright white and must remain this way. I do not remember if my natural hair color was black or dark purple. My eye color is green. I dress in the standard power armour afforded to me by the Ecclesiarchy. It is maintained by a number of priestess of the Mecanicum who hale from Mars. I wear my seals and commanding stripes with pride. I have a small tattoo of a fleur-de-lis below my right eye upon my cheek.


To which social class do you belong?
I belong to a high class of warriors. We are sent to deal with heretical worlds and to re-educate the populace when their own defence forces cannot handle them. We assist the numerous Space Marine chapters from time to time. We bring fire to bear upon our foes without mercy.


Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
I have none known at this time. My main draw back is that my strength can only go so far. I could hardly be called a match for a battle hardened space marine with hundreds of years of battle experience. I suppose we're all susceptible to space colds from time to time. I am not a psyker. My defence against their attacks is minimal, so I must kill them quickly.


What does your voice sound like?
I like to believe that I sound commanding and confident, even though sometimes I am not. My voice sounds somewhat normal in pitch I presume. Not too high to sound childish and not so low to sound like a man.


What do you have in your pockets?
I have no need for pockets, for I carry my wargear using my armour. The magnetic fields hold my gear in place when need be.


Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I am quite young for a captain, much to the dismay of some of the older Sisters. Some believe that my lack of years will have some repercussions later on down the line of my command. However, for most this does not interfere with their ability to serve properly. I like to sing.


When was the first time you killed someone?
At the age of eight. I was being schooled by the priests of the Ecclesiarchy at that time in my life. A crazed soldier was ranting at a Hospitaller and attacked her for being unable to replace his friend's legs. An injured commissar witnessing the attack was unable to met out justice. He handed me his bolt pistol and nodded towards the soldier. I remember the weapon was rather large for me and clunky, but it felt right somehow. The soldier did not cease his attack on the Hospitaller. I yelled for him to stop and he turned to me and glared. He withdrew a knife from his belt and that is when I shot him in the head.

okay, koff~

some of the spelling of the lore is off, but that is about all I think of for right now. Let me know what you think, koffi~

Sephear September 21st, 2013 9:13 PM

You're no longer working as a miner or blacksmith - what exactly is it that you're doing now, and why are you doing it?
To be honest right now I'm not doing much of anything, I haven't found another job yet and I'm currently living on savings. The past few months my life has been distressingly devoid of purpose.

You talk a lot about combat and fighting. Does violence figure largely in your life?
Not recently; I'd prefer for my life not to be very violent. But nonetheless I must admit during my time training and the events where I have ended up in fights I've realized I actually quite like fighting as long as nobody has to get seriously injured.

Why is it that your friends now think you're a jerk? Is this related to your giving up of Earth Bending?
No it's- it's because of my attitude, most of them don't even know I've given it up. I can stay civil an all that, but I suppose I'm just more callous and inconsiderate than I was before I left Republic City.

If not, why have you given it up?
Well... the person who finally helped me start Earth Bending betrayed me, me and her entire family. I want nothing to do with her or Earth Bending anymore, besides I was only ever able to Earth Bend when I was at peace with myself and... I'm just not anymore.

I take it you dislike your middle name. What is it about it that you dislike?
Nothing in particular really. I've never really thought about it before, I guess it's because Davian is already a strange name. Then there's Thaddeus and it just feels like my parents were trying to be fancy or something when they named me.

Do you have any plans for the future? Your life seems a little aimless from what you've said so far.
I'm a little lacking on plans right now... Bending is the only thing that feels all that important to me anymore so I'd like to convince the Pro Bending committee to allow Metal Bending one day. Currently they think it's too dangerous but it doesn't have to be, we could fling hollow metal disks or something that wouldn't hurt any worse than a hunk of stone.

Are there any other important people in your life you've not yet mentioned? What is their relation to you?
Not any one person specifically, but there're some people in this settlement known as Veleri Village/township/whatever you wanna call it, who were very good to me. They're in a bad position right now and one day I'd like to go back and help them improve things but... right now that's just not an option until I get stronger.

"Call Uncle Adam! Call Uncle Adam!". Didn't listen, stayed there and watched out our big living room window. Then I saw these guys with guns come out of their big black car. They were coming to the front door. Then, out of no where, this guy, with a bat showed up, beat the crap out of these guys. They run. He... he looks into my eyes. Not my moms. Mine. Just staring. Couldn't see his face. He... he nodded at me. Then ran off. Never saw him again... Iconic experience in my life.

Paige Berlitz September 25th, 2013 2:48 PM

Obviously, I'm interested by the fact that you have a foot fetish. Where did that come from? Have you had any partners (if you've had any at all) that were okay with it?

I never had a partner and nobody knows so far. But maybe when I find a person I could actually trust then I might.


How did you burn your house down? Was it underwater or on land? If it was underwater, how did it burn down?

I burned down by accidentally setting a puddle of grease on fire(The first time I knew of my ability). It was on land so no worries.

What are the names of your Frog and your Fox? Describe their personality.

Fox: Feral. He has a vicous nature but is very protective over me and thats why he is vicous. But overall he is really nice and so fun to cuddle with.

Frog: Croak. Well he is lazy and normally doesn't like to do anything. It just lays werever it wants to lays.

You say you're 10 years old, but you have the appearance of, well, a really short, fat teenage girl. Are things like this common in your race?

Well yes they are common in my race. This is actually taller than most human girls my age and actually I look like i weigh only 90 pounds but who is counting.

You say you're protecting a Dragon, correct? Why are you protecting it? What makes it so special? Is there an old folk tale associated with it? Do you know if it's even real?


Yes I am protecting a dragon. We are protecting it because the emperor wants to kill the dragon and plunge us into an era of Darkness. it is also the last one left. Well it can control anything that has to deal with the rain and water really. There are no known folktales of it. I do not know if it is real but I thought I saw it swimming in a river near me.

Does everyone in your race know about it or learn about it at some point, or is the knowledge of it kept a secret for only a select few?

Just the few of us that joined the resistance group. So a select few.

You like to travel a lot, obviously. Do you prefer any specific places to stay at? Do you prefer water over land, or vice versa?

No I have no preferations whatso ever. And I Will live in both equally.

So, you can use fire underwater because your father was raised by the Water Dragon. Were others' parents raised by the dragon as well, or only your father? Are your dad and the Dragon related, and if so, how?


No My father was the only one that was raised by it that I know. My dad and the dragon are related telepathically but not Biologically. My father was sentenced to Drown when he was little and the Dragon saved him from death. My father only talks through a telepathic link.

More questions please if you guys don't mind.

Sorry I haven't been active with this thread. The college life sure is busy! Luckily, I was able to work quickly and my homework is complete. So without further ado:

Sister Superior Andra, The favored one, Captain of the Exorcist-Class starship: Justia Servus @ CoffeeDrink

What is Justia Servus like? Is there a normal course it takes?
You must forgive me, as an interviewer for this agency, I've come across some interesting characters, but I have yet to meet someone from your world. Care to explain the different terms you have used
(commissar, psyker, xenos, etc.)?
Is there a particular mission that stands out to you in any way?
What are some of the different species you have come across?
How long is your normal life-span?
Is there anyone you look up to like a father/mother?
It seems that you are very strong, but you say that you would lose in a fight with an experienced space marine. Are space marines stronger than you? If not, then in what ways could an opponent overcome your strength?
You say that others might be a little jealous of you. Has this caused any problems?
Do you take your liking for singing very seriously?
What are your plans for the future?

Would you put yourself in harm's way for the boss, even if death seemed imminent?
Do you ever plan to get out of the gang?
Any future plans?

T!M September 26th, 2013 6:32 PM

Richard Junior Chetner @ Trainer Timothy

What are your plans for the future?
I intend to finish my schooling and hopefully start working for a bigger paper. Something like New York Times big.

What's the most interesting story you have covered?
PG-13 Answer, Read at your own discretion.
Spoiler:
Sexual scandal between one of the professors and a freshman student. Turns out it was consensual, but none the less it's still illegal.
That made me the head reporter for that one.

How well do you do in school?
Excellent student. Very smart, well, damn, that sounded a bit conceited. But you asked and I'm telling. Hahaha. Not but on the reals. I do well. Honor role and such.

Do you like college?
Very much so. Keeps me busy. Nobody's really gives me crap which is something I can respect. But then again I am pretty reclusive. When I'm not in class, I'm at the paper office and if I'm not at the office, I'm in my dorm. Hahaha.

Do you have any close friends?
Not really. Except for the guys at the paper. The Editor and Chief, Crank Castmen and I get along. We go to lunch on the weekends.

What kind of classes do you take?
Normal stuff. Nothing any different or more spectacular than anyone else.

Have your sinuses ever stopped you from doing something before?
Sometimes I can't leave campus for a story when it get's as bad as it can. Hahaha.

Do you still do boxing? If not, what made you give it up?
Not really. I wrapped that up awhile ago. As a reporter, I try to put it out of my head.

Have you met any interesting characters on interviews?
Well, actually. One time, I interviewed Mr. Nathan Maxwell. [censored] billionaire of Red City. Great guy. You know a guy who has that much money, he isn't as narcissistic as many would believe. He's oddly very "Down-to-earth"

What aspect about reporting do you like the best?

I don't tell many people this but it's not for the story. *Leans in and whispers* It's for the risk. Every time I go out for a story I hope it'll be something dangerous. I want to be confronted by gangsters or mobs or hell, super-villains. I don't know where I get it from but I've always liked to put myself in risky areas.

Triple Threat (because I don't feel like typing out their names) @ Trainer Timothy

You're very annoying, how do you respond to that statement?
Jake: Hey! [censored] you!
Tony: Wha'd you say you [censored] sucker!
Banner: Comment osez-vous! (How dare you!)

Would you put yourself in harm's way for the boss, even if death seemed imminent?
Jake: Between us and you, guy. No amount of money would make me take a bullet for the big guy.

Do you ever plan to get out of the gang?
Jake: Can't say. Maybe if someone bigger and badder than the boss shows up, if you see where I'm going with this.

Any future plans?
Jake: Our duties come on a day-to-day thing. We rarely have plans ahead of time.

Out of you three, who do you consider the leader?

Jake: The boys know that good ol' Johnny Lakes run tha' show, aint' that right, boys?
Tony: Word.
Banner: Oui.

What exactly do you guys do for the boss?
Jake: Well, it goes without saying, brotha', that we handle the dirty work. Murda', collectin', interrogation. Things like that, see?

Have you met the boss in person?
Jake: Uh. Despite the boss being our superiors we actually answer to his underboss. Red Head. Really mean guy. If we think Red Head's bad? Jeez, I don't even want to be in the same county as the boss.

When did you guys meet?
Jake: Late 2000, the Red City Saints came together all at once. The boss hand picked everything and everyone in the gang. We all got letters, I didn't even know Tony or Baker's before we all met on the same day.

What's the biggest fight you have ever been a part of?
Jake: We battled that [censored]ing Robot guy, Nano Man. He kicked our [censored]es. It was awful. But being loyal to the core with the RC Saints, we wouldn't tell that fruit nothin'.

Do you bicker with each other often?
Jake: Ha! You think these chumps have the nads to talk back to me.
Tony: Johnny, shut up man. You ain't as bad as you make yourself out to be.
Jake: Tony, shut it! I'm making a point.
Tony: What point is that? That you're a stereotypical 1920's gangster? We get it and it's cliche. Drop the act.
Jake: I swear to god I'll break your frikken legs you walking Italian stereotype!
[Jake and Tony continue to bicker]
Banner cleans his butcher knife while mumbling to himself. Je ne les connais pas, je le jure. (I don't know them, I swear.)

Banner, why haven't you learned english yet? Do you ever plan to?
Parce que mon restaurant français était la dernière pièce de mon héritage laissé quand je suis arrivé dans ce pays. Je n'ai rien. Rien que cette langue. Donc non, je ne pourrai jamais apprendre votre langue. M. Rousse comprend le français couramment et nous conversons souvent ensemble pendant ces retarde se chamaillent comme des frères. Ugh.

(Because my french restaurant was the last piece of my heritage left when i came to this country. I have nothing. Nothing but this language. So no, I will never learn your language. Mr. Red Head understands French fluently and we often converse together while these retards bicker like brothers. Ugh.)

What is Justia Servus like? Is there a normal course it takes?
The Justia Servus is my home. It is indeed a massive starship. I will upload the specifications now:

Hull: 7.3 kilometres long, 1.1 kilometres abeam at fins approximately
Class: Exorcist-class Grand Cruiser
Mass: Approximately 37 megatonnes
Crew: Approximately 112,000 crew
Acceleration: 1.99 gravities maximum sustainable acceleration
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110719060349/warhammer40k/images/0/06/Vengance_Class_Grand_Cruiser.jpg

Sometimes an image works best. This is an image of a standard Exorcist-Class Cruiser. The Justia Servus has spent more time cutting out the hearts of heretics in the Imperial Navy than any other Battle Sister controlled vessel of its kind. It is adorned modestly, with relics and runes praising the God-Emperor on the outside. Quarters are small and plain, unless decorated. Foods are grown on the ship and some are stored as basic rations. Water is collected from cooling vents and purified when our reserves are depleted, this has only happened once in the ship's entire history however. When we dock to gather supplies and munitions, we gather whatever else we may need.

You must forgive me, as an interviewer for this agency, I've come across some interesting characters, but I have yet to meet someone from your world. Care to explain the different terms you have used (commissar, psyker, xenos, etc.)?
Hm. A psyker. How best to describe one? How could one describe something that is so chaotic? Imagine a powerful psychic of your kind. One that can use telekinesis. Then, read through your books on superhuman abilities, such as heat vision, flames from the hands, freezing temperatures, mind destroyers, etc. Then mutate a large number of billions and then give them all random abilities that they cannot control. For example, I've seen of a Pyrokene (that's a flame psychic) who could 'breathe' fire. And by breathe I mean vomit. His bile was so potent that it would ignite when he desired it to do so. Add on the potency of metabolic acid and you have a dangerous being on the loose. Some psykers can control their abilities, these can be dangerous and lethal in most cases. Some cannot, and these are perhaps the most dangerous. Some serve the Imperium of Man to aid us in ridding the cosmos of these reckless parasites.

A Commissar. Imagine you're not doing what you're supposed to. Imagine you were told to do something and you still do not do it in a timely manner. Then imagine yourself shot to serve as an example to those around you who might think about disobeying a direct order. Commissars control the order of things in the war-workplace. If you think the enemy is vile and obscene, you best think about the commissar bringing up the rear before you consider running away.

Xenos: Aliens. Foul beasts of any myriad of shapes or forms. The crude Orks, the quiet Eldar, the technologically advanced Tau, the voracious Tyranids, and the silent Nad9h23jklfn9n 545af5. There are hundreds of thousands of different species logged in the libraries of Terra, so I suppose xenos could be as random as psykers in certain situations.
*This species is still classified. Divulging further information to outside sources will result in termination. It has been edited*


Is there a particular mission that stands out to you in any way?
I believe not. Not at this time in any case. I simply must fulfill my duty to the God-Emperor as best I can until I cannot perform any longer.


What are some of the different species you have come across?
To name them all would be folly, as there is a large amount of filth to be purged and we go where we are needed. Some xenos are easier to kill than others. Orks are massive brutes and crave only war. Their minds tend to stick towards close range combat if possible. Their junk machines shouldn't even be able to function, yet they do with deadly efficiency. Their intelligence enables us to circumvent their blood-lust and sheer brutality with plain tactics.

Eldar are tricky. If combat can be avoided, they will almost always retreat whenever possible. Certain treaties have been made with them involving their knowledge of the Black Library and the conditions of planets. Most of these I do not agree with.

I haven't come across many Tau, but I understand that their lack of close combat training gives us the advantage in closed quarters; the problem lies in being able to get close enough as they're weaponry is impressive.

Worlds invaded by the Tyranids are typically lost and we must reduce the surface to ash using the Justia Servus' armaments. Sometimes this does not always work. They are like weeds, and they sprout back when not paying attention.


How long is your normal life-span?
It varies from world to world. Considering I go to war more often than not, it might not be for very long, but every minute I can deny the xenos the satisfaction of encroaching upon our homes is well spent. If I was to live out my natural span, I might consider living for at least 100 Terran years. There are ways of prolonging life, however. I believe our oldest Mechanicum priestess is over 600 years old.


Is there anyone you look up to like a father/mother?
The God-Emperor, blessed be his name! He watches over me as my hands cleanse the filth from his domain. To serve is an honour. I suppose the Cannoness could be considered a figure to look up to and attempt to achieve what she has. There are also several Saints granted the ability to wield his mighty power in battle.


It seems that you are very strong, but you say that you would lose in a fight with an experienced space marine. Are space marines stronger than you? If not, then in what ways could an opponent overcome your strength?
Space Marines can best 100 normal men or more in combat alone. Space Marines are genetically engineered forms of war. The Angels of Death are labeled rightly so. They take care of worlds most others can't. In terms of efficiency, the Sisters of Battle come in second place for worlds cleansed, however we spread the word of the God-Emperor where they typically do not. Sending the Space Marines into battle rings doom for the enemies of mankind.


There are several ways to best me as I am not all powerful. I do the best with which I am given. I must remain calm, think out my attacks and react quicker than my opponent can. Working as a unit with my fellow Sisters, and countless sparing matches are just a number of things I must do to prevent my death. There are aliens that could flense the hide from my bones, psykers that could boil my insides and daemons that could prey upon my mind. The galaxy is large. There are a trillion trillion ways for me to die. I must be better than the other person I am fighting, that is the best I can do. My armor helps negate the effects of small arms in close combat.


You say that others might be a little jealous of you. Has this caused any problems?
In certain cases there have been arguments. Some Sisters refused to accept the fact that their previous Superior was deceased and being replaced by someone a third her age. They were transferred. I've had other Sisters refuse my orders or break into my quarters to urinate on my floor or my bed. It is very frustrating to keep control of thousands of warriors, especially if they don't all agree with you, and if some that don't agree refuse orders and sow dissent among the others. This is where the commissars come in handy. However, it hasn't gotten to that point yet. I don't believe it will either, I believe I am warming to them.


Do you take your liking for singing very seriously?
Oh yes. The Hymns of the Ecclesiarchy are very important to me indeed. I believe the God-Emperor speaks to me through them, and he grants me his strength to smash his enemies.


What are your plans for the future?
To serve as long and as fervently as I can. That is the most diplomatic response I can offer for now.

Wow. Someone asked me questions! I hope those can do for now, koff~

So, Hitler won the WW2? How exactly did the world evolve after that?
The world became cleaner and more swamps were created to hide the stench of the dead bodies. If you weren't forced to go to a concentration camp you were forced to join there ranks.


Are you alright with killing people, or are you a bit compassionate?

I am in the middle. I am only compassionarte if its a childhood friend or if something is interfering with my mind.


What is so funny about someone getting shot?
idk i just happen to laugh when it happens thats why I am one of his most trusted servants.


You think you're insane?
No I don't. I think I am a brilliant stratagist for keeping my enemies close.


You sound ready to kill vampires, is there a war going on between vampires and werewolves?

How does a police officer come to be so rich?

I came from an upper middle class family. I had quite a bit of money and was brilliant in martial arts, writing and battling. I started writing many books. The most famous of these was the Alakazam Weasley series. They made me a billionaire. I also teach martial arts in my free time.

What's your main party of Pokemon?

Blastoise, Scizor, Infernape, Nidoking, Sceptile, Muk and Haxorus.

Do you ever abuse your power?

Errr.. Yeah I use my power to get discounts in the mall.

What's the worst thing you have ever done?

There was this time when I was trying to catch Bert Foxx and while aiming a sharpened iron rod at him, he dodged it and my my best friend got impaled by it. He died but I managed to nab Bert Foxx . I still get nightmares about that day. Nobody found out about that.

Do you have any hobbies?

Yeah! They're beating up people, archery, swimming and er... cooking.

As a police officer, what's the closest experience you have ever had with death?

When I was trying to catch Bert Foxx one of his men shot a bullet from his snoper which I managed to escape due to Bert punching me while we were fighting. Then Just as we were fighting the same man almost shot me in the head but thankfully my second in command smashed his head just then.

Do you have any friends?

Several of them. My best friend is Tim Mckenzie, my second in command.

What are your plans for the future?

Stop crime and become a Gordon Ramsay.

What's the biggest crime you have ever stopped?

The one Bert Foxx had planned. He was about to explode a bomb in the middle of Rustboro City, which would have taken thousands of lives

Do you have a main partner pokemon?

Yes. Gordon my Haxorus. He's shiny and has been with me since I was 3.

I'm going to like this. I have a few characters in mind, is that okay? Anyways here's the protag

What is your full name?

Michael Sameson. But I go by Mike

When and where were you born?

Petalburg City 1991

Who are/were your parents?

Norman and Susan Sameson

Do you have any family other than your parents?

My younger sister Whitney

Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?

My family moved around to different regions a lot, because of my huge obsession for pokemon battles

Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.

Before leaving, I lived in the state of Aspertia City with my aunt Sarah, when my parents left after Ghetsis became king.
Aunt Sarah has long brown hair, that is kept in a bun. I guess blue is her favorite colour since she's always wearing it. She's currently Aspertia's head nurse, and also takes care of all of the starter pokemon there.


What do you do for a living?

First I was a pokemon trainer, then a breeder, and now a trainer again.


Do you have any special abilities?

I bond with most pokemon very easily, thanks to working as a breeder.

Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, these kind of things.

Fair skinned, 140 Ib, 5 feet 5 inches, brown hair, dark brown eyes, comfortable I guess?, no tattoos, I have a scar along my side when I stumbled into a Vespiquen's nest back in Viridian forest. I was the twin needle attack barley missed me.

To which social class do you belong?

Well considering that both my sister and my dad are gym leaders, and my mom being the holder of many contest championship ribbons, I'd say I'm pretty comfortable, so middle class?( most of the money goes into keeping both gyms up to date with League regulations.)

Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?

As cute and adorable as they are, I allergic to the Jumpluff family( Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff) pollen.


What do you have in your pockets? Random ****, my pidove tries to eat, and a map of both Unova, and the Entralink

Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

I'm kind of a dick most of the times, especially to Hugh, but he deserves it. I also get really arrogant in battles, especially when I know I can win.
