Here's Sophia's (from Gunpowder) interview from the old interview thread. Note that this was conducted before the most recent events, and contains information mostly relevant to the character in the past but not anymore.
What is your full name?
Sophia Hartmann, or Fia for short. Whatever goes with you. Oh, also - I'll be telling you some pretty, eh - confidential information over here, so you better not give it out to anyone else. If I hear any news of this got out, it's your damn head I'm putting a bullet though, hear?
Alright... *clears throat* When and where were you born?
I was born in my 'pa's house in Orhurst - we had our own medical crew so my father didn't need any hospital. When, I don't really care. He says it's on the day he took over his major competitor - I think their name was Clock, or Dock? I don't know.
Who are/were your parents?
Elias Hartmann is my father. If you haven't heard of my 'pa, you've either been living under a damn rock for your whole life or you're deaf. And blind. And very screwed up disability you can find in this ****ed up world. Hell, even dead men know my father's name - that bullet they got through the head was probably fired by a Hartmann Industries firearm. Just look at any pistol, rifle, shotgun you see, chances are it's my 'pa's business.
Oh, my mother? *snickers* Sorry, I forget I have one sometimes. According to 'pa she was a "waste of a woman", whatever that means. Well I guess I must've gotten the brown hair fro her - 'pa ain't got any.
Do you have any family other than your parents?
No, none that I know are still alive at least. I'm an only child so I've got no direct siblings; 'pa never stayed with one woman too much - understandable. 'Pa was not an only child, but his brothers were all killed in the war and he was the youngest so he didn't get sent. My mother's side, as I said, I know nothing about. I also had a step brother, but he, eh... uhm... an accident happened, and he died.
Next question you piece of ****.
Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Eh, if you want something interesting to read, here's my "criminal report" I snagged from the sheriff a while back. Not something I like talking about, but hey, I've got nothing to lose. *hands paper*
Police Report said:
After graduation, she immediately enrolled into the healing and medicine program of Skyrith Academy as requested by her father; whom she respected and whose every command she obeyed. She was sixteen at the time. Soon after enrolling, she realized her strategy of threatening people did not work anymore. Teachers here were sorcerers, much more powerful than those at the schools she attended. So were the students. She immediately requested for her father to remove her from the academy and allow her to be his apprentice and heir to the business.
Her father strongly disagreed. He knew his daughter. The moment he would take her in as an apprentice, she would begin rising up the chain of command, eventually taking his place as owner. He explained to her that he had chosen her step-brother as heir to the business. the latter was much less obsessed with success and had a "clearer mind". Sophia was to stay in Skyrith and become a nurse.
A week later, Sophia's step-brother was found in his room, pinned to the wall by his shirt, apparently having being stabbed numerous times in the chest.
Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Well, our clan is mainly located in Larkin, but we've got a few safehouses all across the Chasm - biggest ones are in Larkin, Fairbell and Silverston. I usually stay in Larkin though. The Culebras are basically my family now. I get in touch with 'pa sometimes, but aside from that it's nothing but them I have. They're good people, but the boys' behavior get of hand sometimes - and it's usually up to yours truly to fix it. We all got our reasons for being in the group, but when it comes to helping each other out, we're a single unit. You take down one of us, chances are you're gonna be found dead the next day with a dozen bullets in your chest.
What do you do for a living?
Ehm.... I'm part of a non-governmental profit-making organization. Unfortunately our actions are - eh - unappreciated by most people, so we're not on the good side of the law. Leave it at that.
Do you have any special abilities?
Well, I'm a sorcerer, if that counts as anything "special". Right now I'm only an air elementalist, but I'm learning. Us Culebras usually use poison, venom, disease, that sort of **** to do our business, so most of my spells are in that field.
Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, those kind of things.
I'm about 5'3 - don't laugh, my 'pa was short, okay - and 120 pounds. Chestnut-colored curly hair and eyes, taken from my mother apparently. =I don't usually dress like this, with a white dress - too formal, can't believe some people actually wear this crap on a daily basis. I usually dress like this. *hands photo*
To which social class do you belong?
In the Barren lands, there ain't no social class. There's the ones with the law, and the ones against it. You can be filthy rich or poor as a rat on either side, it don't matter.
Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
None that I know of, no. You never know what kind of **** you can catch around here, though.
What do you have in your pockets?
How did you know?
Wait, what? *checks pockets*
Hahah, just messing with you. Maybe. Right now I've only got a bit of cash, my spellbook of course, and my revolver - just a precaution, don't get your panties hot.
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Not really. I mean, some people call me a crazy ***** for talking to my Chameleon Nico, but **** all of 'em. Nico's better than every man out there.
Here are the questions that were asked on the old thread which I never answered. I'll answer them sometime tomorrow.
