Questions for the wannabe Khajiit, Sylvio :P
1. Are there any of these 'useful', 'foolish' and/or 'dangerous' people you'd like to go into more detail about?
2. How do you feel about the other factions? Any you particularly prefer over the others?
3. What would you do if you lost access to your Magic Room for a week?
4. Why can't you tell us your full name?
5. Have you ever considered settling down anywhere?
As for my gubs, up here is Pendro from
Creamingly Donburgers Crimson Dawn: A Tale of Conquest.
What is your full name?
Pendro 'Reaching Mind' Malis - the, uh, the middle bit is my title, not really a, uh, a part of my name, but you did say 'full name', so I suppose including it is probably for the best. Pendro Malis! 'Reaching Mind' of the Gold Tribe. That's, erm... m-my full name. There you go...
When and where were you born?
Erm, heheh, funny thing about that, actually. Skyhaven, on the sixteenth day of the tenth month, 1039. Twenty years ago today... not, erm, not nearly as much of a festive occasion as I'd like, if, erm, i-if I'm honest.
Who are/were your parents?
My parents are- or, erm, well, I hope they still- I- no, they're Alamas and Krisa Malis, Gold Tribe veterans and generally very nice people... Metagrosses, both of them, generally wonderfully at home in Skyhaven, I... I'd really rather not discuss this right now, I miss them a lot...
Do you have any family other than your parents?
Not really. I know some members of the Gold Tribe subscribe to the rule that all Gold Tribe are family, but I'd really rather not do such a thing - I barely know most members of the tribe, and calling them family seems to do little other than invalidate any ties I have managed to create with others... I'd hate to pre-judge people, even if that pre-judging happens to be in a positive light.
Any story from the past you'd like to share with us?
Probably, erm... probably nothing much you'd find interesting, I mostly just read books... unless recent history is still concerned, in which case there are some incidents like the Battle of Alamagna, Stoneyard, the short stay in Amoon, but I, uh... I think I'd perhaps rather not talk about those things. Not right now - far too stressful...
Where do you live in, and with whom? Describe the person/people.
Probably, erm- well, I'm not even entirely sure what to count as my home anymore, if anywhere is going to be particularly hospitable in the slightest after recent events anyhow… I suppose I still consider Skyhaven my home. All the time spent in the libraries, my parents' lovely house, the… libraries… erm, now, however, it seems as though I'm always on the move. As I've already said, I'm not too keen on speaking about my parents at the moment, so… well, the Emperor and the Gold Tribe seem to be my current company, though it's not as if I've really spoken to any but a select few. I tend to avoid the Emperor, to be honest – not the friendliest sort, it seems; perhaps a little on the ignorant side, too. I- did I just say that? I'm- wow, I'm- I… I'm allowed to say that here? I'm not allowed not to? I- I'm not sure I understand this place. Very strange. Fascinating nonetheless, I'll have to- oh! Sorry, the questions, the questions! Erm… so yes, Garland, the Gold Tribe's leader, doesn't seem too bad. I've been talking with Cassandra a lot lately, every now and then I'll speak with Zack, or Punisher, or Tavhir, or – oh, and I did get kidnapped that one time. That was an ordeal. I'll probably have to ask a few things after I'm done with… what was I doing before this? How did I get here, again?
What do you do for a living?
Erm… so, I suppose you don't do 'answers', then. It's a little rude, frankly, but I suppose it can't be helped – erm, in terms of a living, I'm a member of the Gold Tribe. That tends to be resolved in and of itself. Additionally, I'm pretty sure the librarians in Skyhaven owe me a good few years wages for all the free work I did. Now if only I had the courage to ask…
Do you have any special abilities?
Erm… not particularly, I'm just, erm… me. I mean, I have Magnet Rise…
Tell us more of your appearance. Height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks, this kind of things.
Oh? That's odd – visual descriptions? You must be recording this. F-fascinating, if, erm… a little bit creepy. Oh well, uh- erm, I'm a Metang of the variety colloquially referred to as 'shiny'; that is to say, a grey body with golden horns and claws. I have red eyes, a case on my back for storing books, berries and the like, and two black, golden gilded bracers on each of my arms. Hello!
To which social class do you belong?
I would, uh, really rather not be considered part of any kind of social hierarchy – the entire thing is something of an uncomfortable concept.
Do you have any allergies, diseases or physical weaknesses?
Well, I'm incredibly nervous and fearful of most things to the point of being abysmal at social interaction and far from optimal during pressured combat, along with just having recovered from the Dark Pulse of a destruction deity which left me completely immobilised for a good few days… apart from that, there's probably a myriad of other issues with me, but besides those, I'm peachy!
What does your voice sound like?
Erm… uh, probably on the higher side of Metang voices – still fairly metallic and, of course, psychically resonant due to its very nature. In general, aside from my, erm… o-obvious pauses and occasional stuttering, I'm really very well spoken. I wouldn't go as far to say 'posh' – though I have learned to put that on at will, or, erm… some other times involuntarily, still not sure what that is – b-but, erm, nevertheless, I'd say it's certainly clipped to some degree.
What do you have in your pockets?
Are, erm…? Are you even actually here? Are you- well, I suppose I can't really tell because you don't do the 'answering' thing, do you? I'm beginning to think that these questions are pre-recorded somehow – not that I can really do anything about it. Well, because I don't have any pockets, I'll just tell you that in the case at my back there are a couple of pots of mixed useful berries, as well as three books: one on historical conflicts, one on battle theory, and one on evolutionary science.
Do you admit to having any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I, erm… well, I'm probably not that interesting to look at – I'm just, well… me. All of my mannerisms are likely to be somewhat strange, and I'm probably very annoying, too… sorry about that…
