Re: 100 OC QUESTION CHALLENGE (++ art prizes) - Misty - 03-30-2018
Keona 70/100:
Part 1: The Basics
1) What is your full name?
"My name is Keona Sibéal ó Faoláin."
2) Where and when were you born?
"I was born close to my mother's tribe, in the winter."
3) Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"My father is Captain Kian ó Faoláin, and my mother was named Haliaka, I believe. I never knew her. She died when I was born. My father is a pirate captain. He's actually a real nice guy. I'm not sure why or when he became a pirate, but it fits him; you can tell he's happy on the sea, and his crew is like family."
4) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"No. I'm an only child."
5) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I live on my father's ship, with him and his crew. I guess you could say I live on the sea; we stop at ports all over the place, but usually we're out in the water. My father's crew is a rowdy bunch, but they're good people. There's never a dull moment, I can say that."
6) What is your occupation?
"I suppose I'm a pirate, though I like to say I'm an ocean-faring adventurer. I don't do plundering and all that."
7) Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
"That's kind of hard... I can't actually see myself. I believe I'm about four foot four. I don't weigh a lot; I'm unusually skinny, according to my father, though I think he just likes to tease me for being scrawny. I know I don't weigh over a hundred pounds. As for race I'm a fae, and my lineage is both Irish and Hawaiian. I look more Irish than anything else I suppose; my skin is still darker, but as far as my mother's tribe is concerned, I'm very pale. My hair is an absolute mess, but my father won't let me cut it. It's long, curly and according to everyone else a fiery red. Apparently, it stands out."
8 ) To which social class do you belong?
"The 'uncivilized' class, haha."
9) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"I'm blind."
10) Are you right- or left-handed?
"I am left handed."
11) What does your voice sound like?
"I sound like my mother; I talk fast, apparently, kind of high tone of voice. My father's accent is drastically different from mine, but I every once in a while, I can hear it in my own voice. Perhaps since I've been hanging around him so long. It sounds really funny to me."
12) What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Good question. I don't know. I like to say 'A hui hou' instead of saying goodbye, so I guess I say it a lot."
13) What do you have in your pockets?
"A pocket knife, some coin."
14) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"I suppose I hum a lot. I like to touch my surroundings; walls, tables. It helps."
Part 2: Growing Up
15) How would you describe your childhood in general?
"I'd say it was... Very lonely. I'm still very young, however. Especially for a fae, so you could say my childhood is still right now.
My tribe was very distant towards me. I was never close to anyone and I had no family interested in me there."
16) What is your earliest memory?
"A wolf howling. I'm not sure why, or what was happening... I remember hearing it."
17) How much schooling have you had?
"No 'traditional' schooling."
18) Did you enjoy school?
"Never went to a school."
19) Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"Mostly from experience. I picked up and was taught a lot from my tribe; weaving, how to carve wood. My father has taught me how to play a lot of instruments; violas and pan flutes are my favorite to play."
20) While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"Not really, no in my tribe really wanted anything to do with me. My father is a role model now. He's very charismatic; he knows how to talk to people, and he is very kind. He's like a... Pirate Robin Hood, really."
21) While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"Whatever family I had in the tribe, that being my mother's family, they did not want anything to do with me, so I did not involve myself with them."
22) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"... I wanted to be a full member of my tribe."
23) As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"I liked to rough house with the dogs. Sometimes I would go into the forest, and run into wolves, but they did not mind me, and I would play with them too."
24) As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I guess I was quiet. I still am, really. To be honest, I used to be a lot more short-tempered, and I can still be a little sensitive."
25) As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"No I was not, at all."
26) When and with whom was your first kiss?
"I've never kissed anyone before."
27) Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"Yes I am."
28) If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I am a fae, or faerie. Both my parents are fae, so of course I am, although I didn't know that before I met people outside my tribe. Now I know that my unusual connection with life; my empathy with animals especially, is actually because I am not human."
Part 3: Past Influences
29) What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"Meeting Ikaia. He's a pirate, but he travels on land a lot too, and he never seems to stick with a single crew. When we met, he knew I was not human, and after I showed him my locket, I learned my full name for the first time. He convinced me to go to the port with him, so he could send me to meet my uncle. I ended up meeting my father first, since that was the same port he picks up supplies."
30) Who has had the most influence on you?
"My father, I suppose."
31) What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"My tribe would go on hunting trips... They'd ride out on horses, and hunt down big things like buffalo, and antelope. I don't really like horse-back riding... But I knew I had to show I could actually do something, so I stole a spear, got on a horse, and followed the group. I had to hide for most of the trip, but when they finally found a herd, I was the one who managed to strike the killing blow. I knew exactly where the buffalo was, and hit it square with my spear.
... They still did not like me after that, but there was a lot more respect."
32) What is your greatest regret?
33) What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
34) Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"Does joining a pirate crew give me a criminal record? There isn't exactly... A law of the land here; I suppose the Sanctuary has me in their bad books now."
35) When was the time you were the most frightened?
36) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
37) If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I'd like my mother to have lived, because I would have been less alone. Not to mention she could answer all the questions I had about my family."
38) What is your best memory?
39) What is your worst memory?
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40) Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"I like to look on the bright side of things, but I tend to lean more towards the pessimistic side when it truly comes down to it."
41) What is your greatest fear?
42) What are your religious views?
43) What are your political views?
44) What are your views on sex?
"It... Makes children? I don't generally concern myself with the matter."
45) Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"I would not. Ever. It... It would hurt too much, I think. I would feel much of the pain too after all.
I suppose if someone has done... Really, really bad... It would seem justifiable but... I dunno, the idea of an 'eye for an eye' applying to people's lives... Does not appeal to me."
46) In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
47) Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"I dunno about true love but... I believe in soul mates to a degree; I believe that one can find a friend out there, that is just so perfect for them... It's like you share a soul. It doesn't necessarily mean love."
48) What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Happiness."
49) How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"I'm honest with myself, but... I don't like to concern others with my feelings. I'm very used to being on my own, even when I'm surrounded by people, so I often don't speak or share all that much, and then very little."
50) Do you have any biases or prejudices?
51) Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I will not hurt another living creature. If I can feel it's soul... I will not do it."
52) Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"I'd go to extremes for Ikaia... He would do the same for me, and I suppose my father, and likewise."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53) In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"I keep everyone at a distance, if I'm being honest. Even my friends, and to a lesser degree, my family, since I found them. I suppose it changes... Over time mostly, as I see whether or not I can truly trust them with my thoughts and feelings. In general, I treat others with respect, so long as they respect me too, if not... I have no qualms with being a little rude or sassy."
54) Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"I'd like to say my father... But honestly, it's Ikaia. He's the first person who actually wanted to be close with me; to be my friend."
55) Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"I respect my uncle, Raziel, the most. He's super smart, and even though both his brothers are pirates, he does not let their actions affect him, or who he wants to be."
56) Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"My friends include my father's crew, and Ikaia. Ikaia is my best friend; he's a little rowdy, and I suppose... Shifty, if you get the joke... Because he's a shapeshifter. He's friendly, but not over bearing, and he's always looking for some kind of trouble. He wants to make something of himself, to be well-known, but also well thought of."
57) Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"No."
58) Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"No, I have never been romantically in love. I love Ikaia, platonically, since he is my best friend."
59) What do you look for in a potential lover?
"Compassion and the ability not to look down on someone just because they lack something you do."
60) How close are you to your family?
"My father and I are becoming closer, I suppose. We're not conventionally close, because we haven't known each other forever. I take his words with a grain of salt most of the time; he's a pirate afterall, though not a bad guy. He's actually well known for being... Good.
My uncle Raziel and I are more like good friends, I guess. I listen to him, because... He's easy to listen to, and he always seems to know what he's talking about.
My uncle Séamus and I are not close at all, though I would like to know him better, if only to know for myself, the kind of person he is."
61) Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"No, because I'm a kid."
62) Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Ikaia; he's got my back."
63) Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"Raziel, my father and Ikaia, because they will always be on my side and they each know how to bring hell in their own ways."
64) If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"I suppose Ikaia would, and my father and Raziel. The crew too, I would hope. I don't think my tribe would, or rather, I don't think they do."
65) Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
66) Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I avoid conflict unless my buttons have been really pressed."
67) Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
68) Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"No. Too confusing."
69) Do you care what others think of you?

81) How do you deal with stress?
"Talk to a tree."
82) Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"I'm fairly spontaneous, but I do like having a plan. I like knowing the way in, the way out, and having back ups. It's not always safe to improvise, but when you have to, you have to, I suppose. My father tends to improvise more than me."

Re: 100 OC QUESTION CHALLENGE (++ art prizes) - Luciferr - 04-02-2018
Track + I will do this for luci though I hope you all don't mind if it's the luci from my story more than his BoB counterpart? (boB luci is him just altered to fit the universe somewhat I.e he can't shift between forms he has or has the powers he has in my story and does not rule/lead anything like what's in the story - but otherwise he's the same)
Re: 100 OC QUESTION CHALLENGE (++ art prizes) - jacob w.c. - 04-04-2018
jacob 83/100:
Part 1: The Basics
1) What is your full name?
"Jacob Wickliff Corleone. I don' use my last names too often these days, though."
2) Where and when were you born?
"Born in New York, May 5th 2017. I've moved all over the place since then, though."
3) Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"Oh, geez. Tha's a bit of a mess. I got my Babbo, Vito Coreleone. He runs the, uh, family business, as he calls it. The mob. It's the mob. He's a real nice guy, if ya' get ta' know 'im but obviously there are some kinda' not so great things about 'im. Anyway, I dunno' my real mom n' Babbo don' talk about 'er none so I don' really ask. Then there was Harrison Wickliff, my Pa. He took good care ah' me when I had ta' leave the city the first time n' he runs somethin' like my Babbo but in Jersey. My Ma's name was Lottie n' I met her 'round the same time as Harry. She taught me everythin' I know, medicine n' knittin' n' cookin'. Everythin' I love."
4) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"I don' got any real siblings, far as anyone knows. I wish I did, there'd be someone else ta' claim the Corleone or Wickliff businesses that way but they're jus' left ta' me for now. I got Jerseyboy, my big brother. We ain't really related but tha' don' bother me none. He's my big brother, even without all that."
5) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I stay in Snowbound now, with Jerseyboy. We left the city a few weeks ago 'cause we were worried I'd get inta' some trouble again. I don' go lookin' for it, I swear. Anyway, the people there are real nice n' I've jus' started ta' get ta' know 'em all but I think I'm gonna' like it real well. I jus' hope I don' bring any of 'em any trouble."
6) What is your occupation?
"Oh, I don' got any kinda' job righ' now. I'm pretty good with herbs n' the like, though."
7) Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
"Well, 'm a husky n' a wolf. I don' look nothin' like my Babbo, he was the wolf, but 'm a li'l bigger than a normal husky now that 'm 'bout the size I'll stay. 'M not gonna' lie, I usually got a li'l more weight than I need but sometimes that changed a whole lot. Righ' now my sweaters are kinda' tight but a few months ago I was so tiny they were hangin' off me. I know I don' got a very good diet n' 've been tryin' ta' make it more consistent but 's been real hard for me. 'Ve got the normal coloring of a grey n' white husky but I always wear some kinda' sweater, I make 'em myself n' I like bright colors, n' my bandages, which I like puttin' patterns on. They, uh, well, I do it ta' hide my scars from the fire. I don' like talkin' 'bout that much, though."
8) To which social class do you belong?
"Uh, well, that kinda' depends on how ya' look at it. Upper when I was stayin' with my Babbo n' my Pa but probably middle ta' lower when I had ta' move in with Jersey n' now we live in a cave so... I guess this is my low point but I don' feel like 'm missin' anythin' without all the money n' whatnot. Snowbound's enough for me."
9) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"No allergies but I got asthma n' I got a whole lotta' skin n' nerve damage all over. I also broke my hips awhile ago in an... an accident so I walk kinda' weird from that plus the nerve damage n' whatnot. 'M doin' my best ta' take care ah' it but my legs aren't too good, 'specially my front two, though I got some trouble on the back ones too 'cause ah' when I broke 'em."
10) Are you right- or left-handed?
"Right."
11) What does your voice sound like?
"Well, Jersey makes fun ah' me sometimes 'cause he says 's kinda' high, 'specially when I sing, n' I usually talk with a Southern accent. For a long time, I sounded like my Babbo, Italian-American n' all that, but I attracted a whole lotta' attention I didn' like when I sounded like 'im so I changed it ta' what I heard from Harrison when I moved ta' be with 'im."
12) What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Things like 'oh goodness' n' 'oh dear' n' stuff like that. I try not ta' swear too much, 'les it's in Italian. It feels dirtier in English."
13) What do you have in your pockets?
"I don' got any pockets but I keep herbs n' cookies in the bag that my Ma gave me. Also a spare change ah' bandages, jus' in case."
14) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"Oh, I dunno'. 'Suppose I can stumble over my words a whole lot, 'specially when I'm flustered or somethin'. Sometimes it looks like 'm lookin' at nothin' 'cause I got some trouble with seein' fire n' things that aren't there. I have a pretty obvious limp 'cause ah' all my issues with my legs n' whatnot n' sometimes they'll jus' give out. I also worry a whole lot 'bout most people n' don't get a whole lotta' sleep."
Part 2: Growing Up
15) How would you describe your childhood in general?
"I guess it was good. I don' really remember thinkin' it was bad. I knew what my Babbo was doin' but for the most part I didn' pay no attention to it. It wasn' 'til I was a li'l older that I had ta' start payin' attention. I got captured pretty early on, around four or five months old, n' that was the first time I had ta' move. I moved in with Harry n' that's when I met Jersey n' my Ma. I liked bein' there real well but then the fire came after a few months, when I was 'bout seven months old. I never told my Babbo about it n' Jersey took me in. That was really only a few months ago n' I haven't been able ta' see my Babbo since, 'cause it ain't safe for him ta' come see me righ' now. 'M sure it'll be quite a shock when he shows up."
16) What is your earliest memory?
"I remember my Babbo playin' with me. It ain't anythin' special, I guess, but he was better than what most kids had 'round me n' he always took good care ah' me. I jus' remember us goin' out for lunches n' seein' his friends. I was with him all the time. Now I know it was more for protection than anythin' else but I still think he liked it. I know I did."
17) How much schooling have you had?
"Not much formal education, like actually in a school n' all that, but my Babbo made sure I knew how ta' read n' write real well in Italian n' English n' he taught me what I needed ta' know 'bout math n' science. It ain't nothin' fancy but when I moved ta' be with Harry in Jersey, I met my Ma who taught me more 'bout history n' knittin' n' cookin' n' medicine n' herbs n' all that kinda' stuff. I was pretty good with medicine n' I can take pretty good care ah' most animals now. She also taught me ta' read, write, n' speak French n' about music."
18) Did you enjoy school?
"Oh, yeah, I loved readin' new books n' writin'. I didn' care much for math but I really liked the medicine books my Ma gave me n' all the crafts she taught me."
19) Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"From my Babbo n' my Ma. I learned other things from Jersey, like how ta' slip in a buildin' without anyone noticin' ya' n' I learned a li'l bit 'bout history n' some stuff 'bout Navajo stuff from my Pa, since tha's how he grew up."
20) While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"Oh, yeah, plenty of 'em. My Ma was a big influence, teachin' me 'bout arts n' crafts n' language n' all that. I wanted ta' be like her, once I met 'er. She may 'ave come after some ah' the other ones but I always wished I could be like her. She cared 'bout everyone n' took care ah' 'em, even when they didn' deserve it. I learned how ta' be stubborn n' fight from my Pa n' Jerseyboy. They both had a whole lotta' things wrong with 'em, Jersey still has a whole lot wrong with 'em, but I know they're good people n' they both always looked out for me. I don' really fight all that much but I can be stubborn like they can n' tha's fightin' in it's own way, I think. I learned balance from my Babbo. He was kind to me n' ta' most people but he demanded respect. I don' think there's anyone in this whole world who'd try crossin' 'im. I don' think some ah' the things he does are all that good but he taught me ta' be who I am n' be proud ah' my family n' look out for 'em, even if I don' always agree with 'em. I know he ain't a good person, most ah' the people I knew growin' up weren't, but I think he can be when he wants to be."
21) While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"I got along real well with everyone. It was mostly other people not gettin' along with 'em that was the problem."
22) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"I wanted ta' be a police dog. My Babbo wasn' too keen on that though n' he was real happy when I told 'im my Ma made me wanna' be a doctor."
23) As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Pretty much the same things I do now. I really liked knittin' n' bakin' once my Ma taught me how ta' do it but before that I really like paintin' n' drawin' n' things like that. Also solvin' puzzles of all sorts."
24) As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I was pretty outgoing n' nice as a kid. I didn' have a reason not ta' trust anyone so I trusted everyone. I stuck ta' my family real close, though, n' I didn' like ta' be alone for too long. Most ah' that is still true, I think."
25) As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Not really. I was always the one who didn' wanna' take the risks n' I spent most ah' my real young days with my Babbo anyway. When I moved ta' Jersey, I became friends with Jerseryboy n' all the people he hang around. They weren't a real good crowd n' they pushed me ta' do some stuff I probably wouldn't ah' done on my own but they meant well. At least, they meant well ta' get some money in their own pockets n' I knew that none ah' 'em would jus' leave me if I got caught."
26) When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Uh, no one. I wasn' real interested in tha' kinda' thing."
27) Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"Geez, you're startin' ta' sound like Jersey. Yes."
28) If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I ain't nothin' special but a lotta' my influences were with Jersey n' my Babbo n' my Ma. My Ma's the reason I do most ah' the things I do now, like healin' n' all that. My Pa was real sick when I was little, even before the fire, n' I was desperate ta' make 'im better. I started really studyin' medicine close after that n' even after he died I kept lookin' into it 'cause one day I wanna' find a cure for what took 'im. While I don' really like ta' admit it, Jersey n' my Babbo are why I can make excuses for doin' bad things sometimes. My Ma taught me right n' wrong but they taught me the inbetween. I try not ta' stay there too long, though. There's the fire, too, n' all my scars. They're why I wear my bandages. I remember seein' Jersey's face when he first saw 'em. It ain't his fault n' they were fresh then so it was worse n' 'm sure he was just scared but I couldn' stand anyone lookin' at me like that again. Besides, I don' really like what I see when I look at 'em n' I don' think anyone else would like it either. So I jus' keep 'em covered n' do my best ta' stay away from fire."
Part 3: Past Influences
29) What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"While I hate ta' say it, I think the fire. 'S when I lost my Pa, when I started seein' n' smellin' things that weren't there, when I started lookin' over my shoulder wherever I went, n' when I stopped sleeping n' started eating too much. It was real bad. A lotta' things changed after that n' I know I ain't the same kid who fell asleep that night. I still dunno' who did it n' I guess there should be some part ah' me that wants ta' go after 'em but mostly I jus' never wanna' see 'em again. That's part ah' why I ran. I heard there might be trouble n' I ain't ready ta' face that kinda' thing again."
30) Who has had the most influence on you?
"Probably Jerseyboy or my Ma. Jerseyboy was there after everythin' happened ta' me. While I love my Ma, there are things I can tell Jersey that I coulda' never told her. He took me in after the fire without any questions n' without worryin' 'bout how it'd hurt him. He went with me ta' Snowbound, even when he didn' have to. I'd do anythin' for 'im."
31) What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"I guess learnin' medicine. It wasn' easy for me ta' memorize it all. At first I wanted ta' carry 'round all the books but my Ma told me that ya' couldn' do that. Ya' jus' had ta' trust yourself. So, I studied everythin' I could for a long time n' 'm still learnin', I don' think anyone ever really stops learnin', but I've come a real long way."
32) What is your greatest regret?
"Not payin' more attention before the fire. Payin' attention to the people around me, payin' attention to my Pa gettin' more sick. It was like I was oblivious to everythin' until it jus' all happened. There had ta' be signs, I know it, n' I feel like I coulda' stopped it before it happened."
33) What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"I dunno' if this is really evil but I've broken in a few places n' taken some stuff. Nothin' too big, jus' li'l jobs with Jersey. When I was real little, my Babbo would have me look at movements n' things n' I thought they were jus' puzzles. He had me find the patterns. I didn' know what I was doin' but later on I found out those were parts of his plans n' I dunno' what he ever did with all that but 'm sure it wasn' anythin' good. I feel real bad 'bout that especially but I was jus' a kid n' I didn' think much of it. I shoulda' asked more questions. It ain't really anyone's fault."
34) Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"I wouldn' except for Jersey. He got me caught once. It was jus' for a li'l job too. I'd never seen my Pa n' my Babbo so mad. I thought they were gonna' kill Jersey. Honestly, 'm still kinda' surprised they didn't."
35) When was the time you were the most frightened?
"When I realized I was alone. After gettin' burned, after I'd seen everythin' fall in on my Pa, I realized I was alone. I had ta' drag myself ta' Jersey's house down a few streets while tryin' ta' hide from whoever set the fire. I still dunno' how I made it there alive n' sometimes I wonder if they meant for me ta' leave. Tha's why I never told my Babbo what happened. I didn't want 'em ta' get what they wanted. In all the letters we've sent, he still doesn' know nothin' 'bout what happened ta' me."
36) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"Getting caught while tryin' ta' rob a store. It was even worse when my Babbo and Pa n' even worse after havin' my Ma come. Jersey didn' care at all but it was terrible.
37) If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I'd never leave New York. As much as I love all the people I met in Jersey, they'd all be a lot safer if I never showed up. I woulda' tried ta' convince them to let me stay after the kidnapping n' I woulda' tried ta' convince 'em I'd be alright. I don' even know if any ah' that's true but a lotta' people would still be alive if I'd been more stubborn."
38) What is your best memory?
"When Jersey finally accepted me as his friend. At first, he didn' like me none but eventually he started havin' me over for pasta n' helpin' him steal things. I think at first it was jus' 'cause I was real tiny n' good at gettin' away with things n' connin' people but he really likes me now, so tha's good."
39) What is your worst memory?
"The fire. I've been hurt plenty ah' other times but I'd do a lot ah' those things again 'cause they were for someone I cared 'bout or for somethin' that was kinda' fun n' I think was worth it. That was something else, though. That was like gettin' stuck in Hell when I still had skin that could burn."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40) Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"I'm pretty optimistic. I can be kinda' paranoid sometimes but I think I got ah' right ta' be at this point."
41) What is your greatest fear?
"Losin' everyone else. I know 's kinda' cheesy but 've already lost my Pa n' Ma. I dunno what I'd do if I lost my Babbo or Jerseyboy. That or bein' burned again. 'M not much of a fan ah' fire now."
42) What are your religious views?
"I don' really know. My Babbo was kinda' Catholic but not really n' my Pa was real against any kinda' organized religion. 'Ve always jus' kinda ignored it all, ta' be honest. I think there might be somethin' out there but it don' affect me none if there is or isn't."
43) What are your political views?
"I guess I don' really got any other than that government should be there ta' help people. I've seen a lotta' people suffer when there mighta' been someone that could help. I don' really know a whole lot 'bout politics, though. Really, bein' in Snowbound is my first close look at it."
44) What are your views on sex?
"Kinda' indifferent, I guess. Jerseyboy seems ta' like it a whole lot but I don' like the idea ah'... well, ya' know, doin' that kinda' thing with so many people. I guess if it works for Jersey tha's fine but, I dunno', I wanna' wait awhile."
45) Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"I dunno'. I didn' think so for a long time but now I ain't so sure. I don' like violence, I freeze up around it, but I think if Jersey was in trouble n' I was able ta' save 'im, if I had ta' kill someone I could do it. I think doin' it ta' protect someone or yourself isn' necessarily bad but it should be avoided. I don' like the idea ah' doin' it but 'm jus' not sure anymore."
46) In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Killin' n' hurtin' someone for no reason other than profit or pleasure. Say what ya' like but my Pa n' my Babbo didn' kill no one they didn' feel like they had to n', as far as I know, they didn' make no one suffer that they didn't feel like deserved it. 'M not sayin' what they did was right but there are people a whole lot worse than them out there."
47) Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"Maybe. I dunno' if I believe in it but I hope for it, I guess. Don' tell Jersey I said that."
48) What do you believe makes a successful life?
"If you're happy at the end n' you've made other people happy too."
49) How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"I hide a lot ah' what I think. 'M pretty obvious about things like bein' real sad or upset about situations but overall I don' talk 'bout things that bother me, like the fire or seein' things or smellin' things that ain't there. I don' tell no one 'bout that or 'bout my nightmares but if Jersey were ta' really scare me or make me angry, I'd let 'im know. I also cry pretty easy so if somethin' real sad happens right in front ah' me, I'll probably cry."
50) Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"I think everyone does. I can't really think ah' any specific examples, though. I get pretty excited when I meet someone else with a Southern accent and I get real nervous when I meet someone from Jersey or New York 'cause 'm always real worried they'll bring up my family."
51) Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I would never hurt anyone jus' for the fun ah' it in any way n' I wouldn' ever kill anyone jus' cause I could. I don' think either of those things are right n', while I think there is a grey area most people don' think ah' in morality, those things are jus' in the dark. Besides, I don' think I could bring myself ta' hurt anyone like that."
52) Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Jerseyboy n' my Babbo. I wouldn't hesitate ta' do anythin' I could ta' keep 'em safe."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53) In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"I feel like 'm usually real nice n' polite, or at least I try ta' be. I don' think I change too much as I get ta' know someone other than I'll worry more 'bout 'em n' I'll try my best ta' keep 'em safe, though really that applies ta' most people. 'M also a lot more open 'bout my history with people that are close ta' me. There are certain things I don' talk about with strangers, like the fire n' my family n' gettin' kidnapped n' all that, but I would talk about with close friends n' family if I needed to."
54) Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Jerseyboy. He's helped me through everythin' n' I owe 'im my life. I dunno' if he thinks of it like that but it's true n' I don' think 'm ever gonna' be able ta' repay 'im."
55) Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Probably my Babbo or my Ma. My Ma 'cause she was so kind for so long ta' so many people, even with bein' in a bad place n' my Babbo 'cause he took good care ah' me when he coulda' just left me, like most people 'round us would've. He demands and gets respect n' he takes care ah' me even now. We stay in touch n' I know he loves me. I don' wanna' be like him, necessarily, but I do wanna' be like 'im in some ways, like bein' more confidant n' takin' care ah' the people that matter ta' me."
56) Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"'M real close ta' Jersey. 'E's probably really my only friend right now. He's kinda' rough but he means well n' we look after each other. I know I could trust 'im with anything n' he'd never leave me. 'M hopin' ta' make some more friends in Snowbound but that'll take time."
57) Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"No, I don' got anyone righ' now."
58) Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"No, I don' think so."
59) What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I don' really know. I 'aven't thought about it much, I guess. I want someone confidant n' someone who treats me real well. They gotta' do that 'cause I don' feel so good 'bout myself sometimes n' I need someone ta' help me a li'l bit. I don' care much about anythin' else. I guess I hope that Jersey n' my Babbo would like 'em. I'd also like 'em ta' be pretty smart n' kinda' funny so we can have good conversations n' I don' feel lonely."
60) How close are you to your family?
"I'm real close ta' all my family that's left. Even livin' away from my Babbo, we write each other as often as we can n' obviously 'm real close ta' Jersey seein' as I live with 'im."
61) Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"No, but I want to one day. I like the idea ah' havin' a whole lotta' kids n' a bit family. I like the idea ah' bein' able ta' settle down n' jus' have a normal life in one spot."
62) Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Jerseyboy or my Babbo. I know they'd do anything for me."
63) Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"The same as the last question. Jersey n' I've been through so much together already, I don' even think it'd be polite ta' leave 'im out n' my Babbo's got the resources n' the heart ta' take care ah' me if anythin' ever went wrong."
64) If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"My Babbo n' Jerseyboy for sure, n' maybe a few ah' the Snowbound members I've started ta' get ta' know."
65) Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"I don' really think I got a specific person. Probably whoever set my house on fire. I get a whole lotta' nightmares 'bout them n' what they did."
66) Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I avoid conflict. I don' like stickin' my nose where it don' belong or where I can't fix things."
67) Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"Well, I can keep a pretty good conversation but I dunno' if I'd call myself a 'leader'. If other people are talkin', I'll let 'em steer the conversation n' I'll go where they lead me but I can also jump in with a topic if I really need to, I guess."
68) Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"I don' mind it. I like bein' around lots ah' people 'cause there's interesting things n' conversations but sometimes I need time ta' myself. I also don' really like parties with super loud music n' alcohol n' that kinda' thing. It just ain't really my scene."
69) Do you care what others think of you?
"I like ta' think I don't but I do. I don't in some ways. Like when Jersey calls me lame for not wantin' ta' drink or meet up with some girl or something', I usually don't care but other times I want to impress him or someone else n' I'll do things I wouldn't usually even think about. I also don' like the idea ah' anyone seein' me without my bandages or sweater 'cause 'm worried 'bout what they'd think."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70) What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I really like cookin' n' bakin'. I also like a whole lotta' art stuff, like knittin' n' drawin' n' really anythin' ta' do with music. I play the guitar, Jersey taught me, n' I like singin'. I also like tryin' ta' solve puzzles or readin' books."
71) What is your most treasured possession?
"All my sweaters n' my patterned bandages. My Ma made some ah' the bandages herself so they're real important ta' me 'cause when I got those, it was the first time I felt like I wasn' jus' constantly recoverin'. 'S silly but all the patterns make me think ah' 'em more like a fashion statement than somethin' I feel like I gotta' wear ta' hide myself."
72) What is your favorite color?
"I really like yellow n' light blue but yellow is probably my favorite."
73) What is your favorite food?
"I love any kinda' pasta. I've really been into stuff that's got pesto in it, too, lately."
74) What, if anything, do you like to read?
"I like readin' medical books n' novels, specifically fantasy. I jus' like all the magic n' stuff."
75) What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"I really like older stuff since that's what Jersey n' my Babbo mostly listen to n' watch. I like anythin' I can sing along to but I really like musicals n' stuff."
76) Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"No, I don' do none ah' that. I can't really smoke anythin' n' I've been drunk a couple ah' times but I don' really care for it. Besides, all that kinda' stuff is so bad for ya', n' I don' really see a point in doin' it."
77) How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Maybe playin' some board games with some friends or lookin' after Jersey when he gets a li'l too much ta' drink. I don' sleep much so once I'm alone or at home, I'd be makin' some cookies or cake or somethin' ta' make myself feel better 'bout not sleepin'."
78) What makes you laugh?
"Oh, I dunno. I haven' really thought 'bout it. I guess jokes but not the ones Jersey tells. Things like knock knock jokes n' stuff. They're simple but I like 'em. I've also really liked puns lately."
79) What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"I don' think anythin' could shock or offend me after spendin' so much time with Jersey. I don' like it when he drinks n' smokes n' all that n' I don' like the way he talks 'bout other people sometimes but I guess I jus' tune it out."
80) What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"I have insomnia a lot n' I usually bake, cook, or eat. Sometimes I'll read my medical books n' study on new subjects if 'm feelin' up to it. I take notes n' everythin'."
81) How do you deal with stress?
"I don't. I kinda' ignore it for a long time n' I eat a lot or don't eat a lot, dependin' on how I feel, but then eventually I gotta' deal with it n' then, well... everythin' kinda' falls apart. I don't sleep or eat or sometimes i do much ah' both. I try ta' distract myself too, with readin' n' studyin' n' knittin'. Anythin' I like doin', really."
82) Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"I like ta' have a plan. I can go along with Jersey when he thinks ah' somethin' crazy but I don' like doin' it. Little things can be spontaneous, like goin' on a walk or takin' a li'l more time ta' stay with a friend but important things should be planned as much as possible."
83) What are your pet peeves?
"I really don' like smokin' n' drinkin'. I dunno' how people can do tha' to themselves all the time. I try ta' tell Jersey he shouldn' do it but it ain't worth arguin' 'bout no more."
1) What is your full name?
"Jacob Wickliff Corleone. I don' use my last names too often these days, though."
2) Where and when were you born?
"Born in New York, May 5th 2017. I've moved all over the place since then, though."
3) Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"Oh, geez. Tha's a bit of a mess. I got my Babbo, Vito Coreleone. He runs the, uh, family business, as he calls it. The mob. It's the mob. He's a real nice guy, if ya' get ta' know 'im but obviously there are some kinda' not so great things about 'im. Anyway, I dunno' my real mom n' Babbo don' talk about 'er none so I don' really ask. Then there was Harrison Wickliff, my Pa. He took good care ah' me when I had ta' leave the city the first time n' he runs somethin' like my Babbo but in Jersey. My Ma's name was Lottie n' I met her 'round the same time as Harry. She taught me everythin' I know, medicine n' knittin' n' cookin'. Everythin' I love."
4) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"I don' got any real siblings, far as anyone knows. I wish I did, there'd be someone else ta' claim the Corleone or Wickliff businesses that way but they're jus' left ta' me for now. I got Jerseyboy, my big brother. We ain't really related but tha' don' bother me none. He's my big brother, even without all that."
5) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I stay in Snowbound now, with Jerseyboy. We left the city a few weeks ago 'cause we were worried I'd get inta' some trouble again. I don' go lookin' for it, I swear. Anyway, the people there are real nice n' I've jus' started ta' get ta' know 'em all but I think I'm gonna' like it real well. I jus' hope I don' bring any of 'em any trouble."
6) What is your occupation?
"Oh, I don' got any kinda' job righ' now. I'm pretty good with herbs n' the like, though."
7) Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
"Well, 'm a husky n' a wolf. I don' look nothin' like my Babbo, he was the wolf, but 'm a li'l bigger than a normal husky now that 'm 'bout the size I'll stay. 'M not gonna' lie, I usually got a li'l more weight than I need but sometimes that changed a whole lot. Righ' now my sweaters are kinda' tight but a few months ago I was so tiny they were hangin' off me. I know I don' got a very good diet n' 've been tryin' ta' make it more consistent but 's been real hard for me. 'Ve got the normal coloring of a grey n' white husky but I always wear some kinda' sweater, I make 'em myself n' I like bright colors, n' my bandages, which I like puttin' patterns on. They, uh, well, I do it ta' hide my scars from the fire. I don' like talkin' 'bout that much, though."
8) To which social class do you belong?
"Uh, well, that kinda' depends on how ya' look at it. Upper when I was stayin' with my Babbo n' my Pa but probably middle ta' lower when I had ta' move in with Jersey n' now we live in a cave so... I guess this is my low point but I don' feel like 'm missin' anythin' without all the money n' whatnot. Snowbound's enough for me."
9) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"No allergies but I got asthma n' I got a whole lotta' skin n' nerve damage all over. I also broke my hips awhile ago in an... an accident so I walk kinda' weird from that plus the nerve damage n' whatnot. 'M doin' my best ta' take care ah' it but my legs aren't too good, 'specially my front two, though I got some trouble on the back ones too 'cause ah' when I broke 'em."
10) Are you right- or left-handed?
"Right."
11) What does your voice sound like?
"Well, Jersey makes fun ah' me sometimes 'cause he says 's kinda' high, 'specially when I sing, n' I usually talk with a Southern accent. For a long time, I sounded like my Babbo, Italian-American n' all that, but I attracted a whole lotta' attention I didn' like when I sounded like 'im so I changed it ta' what I heard from Harrison when I moved ta' be with 'im."
12) What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Things like 'oh goodness' n' 'oh dear' n' stuff like that. I try not ta' swear too much, 'les it's in Italian. It feels dirtier in English."
13) What do you have in your pockets?
"I don' got any pockets but I keep herbs n' cookies in the bag that my Ma gave me. Also a spare change ah' bandages, jus' in case."
14) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"Oh, I dunno'. 'Suppose I can stumble over my words a whole lot, 'specially when I'm flustered or somethin'. Sometimes it looks like 'm lookin' at nothin' 'cause I got some trouble with seein' fire n' things that aren't there. I have a pretty obvious limp 'cause ah' all my issues with my legs n' whatnot n' sometimes they'll jus' give out. I also worry a whole lot 'bout most people n' don't get a whole lotta' sleep."
Part 2: Growing Up
15) How would you describe your childhood in general?
"I guess it was good. I don' really remember thinkin' it was bad. I knew what my Babbo was doin' but for the most part I didn' pay no attention to it. It wasn' 'til I was a li'l older that I had ta' start payin' attention. I got captured pretty early on, around four or five months old, n' that was the first time I had ta' move. I moved in with Harry n' that's when I met Jersey n' my Ma. I liked bein' there real well but then the fire came after a few months, when I was 'bout seven months old. I never told my Babbo about it n' Jersey took me in. That was really only a few months ago n' I haven't been able ta' see my Babbo since, 'cause it ain't safe for him ta' come see me righ' now. 'M sure it'll be quite a shock when he shows up."
16) What is your earliest memory?
"I remember my Babbo playin' with me. It ain't anythin' special, I guess, but he was better than what most kids had 'round me n' he always took good care ah' me. I jus' remember us goin' out for lunches n' seein' his friends. I was with him all the time. Now I know it was more for protection than anythin' else but I still think he liked it. I know I did."
17) How much schooling have you had?
"Not much formal education, like actually in a school n' all that, but my Babbo made sure I knew how ta' read n' write real well in Italian n' English n' he taught me what I needed ta' know 'bout math n' science. It ain't nothin' fancy but when I moved ta' be with Harry in Jersey, I met my Ma who taught me more 'bout history n' knittin' n' cookin' n' medicine n' herbs n' all that kinda' stuff. I was pretty good with medicine n' I can take pretty good care ah' most animals now. She also taught me ta' read, write, n' speak French n' about music."
18) Did you enjoy school?
"Oh, yeah, I loved readin' new books n' writin'. I didn' care much for math but I really liked the medicine books my Ma gave me n' all the crafts she taught me."
19) Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"From my Babbo n' my Ma. I learned other things from Jersey, like how ta' slip in a buildin' without anyone noticin' ya' n' I learned a li'l bit 'bout history n' some stuff 'bout Navajo stuff from my Pa, since tha's how he grew up."
20) While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"Oh, yeah, plenty of 'em. My Ma was a big influence, teachin' me 'bout arts n' crafts n' language n' all that. I wanted ta' be like her, once I met 'er. She may 'ave come after some ah' the other ones but I always wished I could be like her. She cared 'bout everyone n' took care ah' 'em, even when they didn' deserve it. I learned how ta' be stubborn n' fight from my Pa n' Jerseyboy. They both had a whole lotta' things wrong with 'em, Jersey still has a whole lot wrong with 'em, but I know they're good people n' they both always looked out for me. I don' really fight all that much but I can be stubborn like they can n' tha's fightin' in it's own way, I think. I learned balance from my Babbo. He was kind to me n' ta' most people but he demanded respect. I don' think there's anyone in this whole world who'd try crossin' 'im. I don' think some ah' the things he does are all that good but he taught me ta' be who I am n' be proud ah' my family n' look out for 'em, even if I don' always agree with 'em. I know he ain't a good person, most ah' the people I knew growin' up weren't, but I think he can be when he wants to be."
21) While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"I got along real well with everyone. It was mostly other people not gettin' along with 'em that was the problem."
22) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"I wanted ta' be a police dog. My Babbo wasn' too keen on that though n' he was real happy when I told 'im my Ma made me wanna' be a doctor."
23) As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Pretty much the same things I do now. I really liked knittin' n' bakin' once my Ma taught me how ta' do it but before that I really like paintin' n' drawin' n' things like that. Also solvin' puzzles of all sorts."
24) As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I was pretty outgoing n' nice as a kid. I didn' have a reason not ta' trust anyone so I trusted everyone. I stuck ta' my family real close, though, n' I didn' like ta' be alone for too long. Most ah' that is still true, I think."
25) As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Not really. I was always the one who didn' wanna' take the risks n' I spent most ah' my real young days with my Babbo anyway. When I moved ta' Jersey, I became friends with Jerseryboy n' all the people he hang around. They weren't a real good crowd n' they pushed me ta' do some stuff I probably wouldn't ah' done on my own but they meant well. At least, they meant well ta' get some money in their own pockets n' I knew that none ah' 'em would jus' leave me if I got caught."
26) When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Uh, no one. I wasn' real interested in tha' kinda' thing."
27) Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"Geez, you're startin' ta' sound like Jersey. Yes."
28) If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I ain't nothin' special but a lotta' my influences were with Jersey n' my Babbo n' my Ma. My Ma's the reason I do most ah' the things I do now, like healin' n' all that. My Pa was real sick when I was little, even before the fire, n' I was desperate ta' make 'im better. I started really studyin' medicine close after that n' even after he died I kept lookin' into it 'cause one day I wanna' find a cure for what took 'im. While I don' really like ta' admit it, Jersey n' my Babbo are why I can make excuses for doin' bad things sometimes. My Ma taught me right n' wrong but they taught me the inbetween. I try not ta' stay there too long, though. There's the fire, too, n' all my scars. They're why I wear my bandages. I remember seein' Jersey's face when he first saw 'em. It ain't his fault n' they were fresh then so it was worse n' 'm sure he was just scared but I couldn' stand anyone lookin' at me like that again. Besides, I don' really like what I see when I look at 'em n' I don' think anyone else would like it either. So I jus' keep 'em covered n' do my best ta' stay away from fire."
Part 3: Past Influences
29) What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"While I hate ta' say it, I think the fire. 'S when I lost my Pa, when I started seein' n' smellin' things that weren't there, when I started lookin' over my shoulder wherever I went, n' when I stopped sleeping n' started eating too much. It was real bad. A lotta' things changed after that n' I know I ain't the same kid who fell asleep that night. I still dunno' who did it n' I guess there should be some part ah' me that wants ta' go after 'em but mostly I jus' never wanna' see 'em again. That's part ah' why I ran. I heard there might be trouble n' I ain't ready ta' face that kinda' thing again."
30) Who has had the most influence on you?
"Probably Jerseyboy or my Ma. Jerseyboy was there after everythin' happened ta' me. While I love my Ma, there are things I can tell Jersey that I coulda' never told her. He took me in after the fire without any questions n' without worryin' 'bout how it'd hurt him. He went with me ta' Snowbound, even when he didn' have to. I'd do anythin' for 'im."
31) What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"I guess learnin' medicine. It wasn' easy for me ta' memorize it all. At first I wanted ta' carry 'round all the books but my Ma told me that ya' couldn' do that. Ya' jus' had ta' trust yourself. So, I studied everythin' I could for a long time n' 'm still learnin', I don' think anyone ever really stops learnin', but I've come a real long way."
32) What is your greatest regret?
"Not payin' more attention before the fire. Payin' attention to the people around me, payin' attention to my Pa gettin' more sick. It was like I was oblivious to everythin' until it jus' all happened. There had ta' be signs, I know it, n' I feel like I coulda' stopped it before it happened."
33) What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"I dunno' if this is really evil but I've broken in a few places n' taken some stuff. Nothin' too big, jus' li'l jobs with Jersey. When I was real little, my Babbo would have me look at movements n' things n' I thought they were jus' puzzles. He had me find the patterns. I didn' know what I was doin' but later on I found out those were parts of his plans n' I dunno' what he ever did with all that but 'm sure it wasn' anythin' good. I feel real bad 'bout that especially but I was jus' a kid n' I didn' think much of it. I shoulda' asked more questions. It ain't really anyone's fault."
34) Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"I wouldn' except for Jersey. He got me caught once. It was jus' for a li'l job too. I'd never seen my Pa n' my Babbo so mad. I thought they were gonna' kill Jersey. Honestly, 'm still kinda' surprised they didn't."
35) When was the time you were the most frightened?
"When I realized I was alone. After gettin' burned, after I'd seen everythin' fall in on my Pa, I realized I was alone. I had ta' drag myself ta' Jersey's house down a few streets while tryin' ta' hide from whoever set the fire. I still dunno' how I made it there alive n' sometimes I wonder if they meant for me ta' leave. Tha's why I never told my Babbo what happened. I didn't want 'em ta' get what they wanted. In all the letters we've sent, he still doesn' know nothin' 'bout what happened ta' me."
36) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"Getting caught while tryin' ta' rob a store. It was even worse when my Babbo and Pa n' even worse after havin' my Ma come. Jersey didn' care at all but it was terrible.
37) If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I'd never leave New York. As much as I love all the people I met in Jersey, they'd all be a lot safer if I never showed up. I woulda' tried ta' convince them to let me stay after the kidnapping n' I woulda' tried ta' convince 'em I'd be alright. I don' even know if any ah' that's true but a lotta' people would still be alive if I'd been more stubborn."
38) What is your best memory?
"When Jersey finally accepted me as his friend. At first, he didn' like me none but eventually he started havin' me over for pasta n' helpin' him steal things. I think at first it was jus' 'cause I was real tiny n' good at gettin' away with things n' connin' people but he really likes me now, so tha's good."
39) What is your worst memory?
"The fire. I've been hurt plenty ah' other times but I'd do a lot ah' those things again 'cause they were for someone I cared 'bout or for somethin' that was kinda' fun n' I think was worth it. That was something else, though. That was like gettin' stuck in Hell when I still had skin that could burn."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40) Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"I'm pretty optimistic. I can be kinda' paranoid sometimes but I think I got ah' right ta' be at this point."
41) What is your greatest fear?
"Losin' everyone else. I know 's kinda' cheesy but 've already lost my Pa n' Ma. I dunno what I'd do if I lost my Babbo or Jerseyboy. That or bein' burned again. 'M not much of a fan ah' fire now."
42) What are your religious views?
"I don' really know. My Babbo was kinda' Catholic but not really n' my Pa was real against any kinda' organized religion. 'Ve always jus' kinda ignored it all, ta' be honest. I think there might be somethin' out there but it don' affect me none if there is or isn't."
43) What are your political views?
"I guess I don' really got any other than that government should be there ta' help people. I've seen a lotta' people suffer when there mighta' been someone that could help. I don' really know a whole lot 'bout politics, though. Really, bein' in Snowbound is my first close look at it."
44) What are your views on sex?
"Kinda' indifferent, I guess. Jerseyboy seems ta' like it a whole lot but I don' like the idea ah'... well, ya' know, doin' that kinda' thing with so many people. I guess if it works for Jersey tha's fine but, I dunno', I wanna' wait awhile."
45) Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"I dunno'. I didn' think so for a long time but now I ain't so sure. I don' like violence, I freeze up around it, but I think if Jersey was in trouble n' I was able ta' save 'im, if I had ta' kill someone I could do it. I think doin' it ta' protect someone or yourself isn' necessarily bad but it should be avoided. I don' like the idea ah' doin' it but 'm jus' not sure anymore."
46) In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Killin' n' hurtin' someone for no reason other than profit or pleasure. Say what ya' like but my Pa n' my Babbo didn' kill no one they didn' feel like they had to n', as far as I know, they didn' make no one suffer that they didn't feel like deserved it. 'M not sayin' what they did was right but there are people a whole lot worse than them out there."
47) Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"Maybe. I dunno' if I believe in it but I hope for it, I guess. Don' tell Jersey I said that."
48) What do you believe makes a successful life?
"If you're happy at the end n' you've made other people happy too."
49) How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"I hide a lot ah' what I think. 'M pretty obvious about things like bein' real sad or upset about situations but overall I don' talk 'bout things that bother me, like the fire or seein' things or smellin' things that ain't there. I don' tell no one 'bout that or 'bout my nightmares but if Jersey were ta' really scare me or make me angry, I'd let 'im know. I also cry pretty easy so if somethin' real sad happens right in front ah' me, I'll probably cry."
50) Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"I think everyone does. I can't really think ah' any specific examples, though. I get pretty excited when I meet someone else with a Southern accent and I get real nervous when I meet someone from Jersey or New York 'cause 'm always real worried they'll bring up my family."
51) Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I would never hurt anyone jus' for the fun ah' it in any way n' I wouldn' ever kill anyone jus' cause I could. I don' think either of those things are right n', while I think there is a grey area most people don' think ah' in morality, those things are jus' in the dark. Besides, I don' think I could bring myself ta' hurt anyone like that."
52) Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Jerseyboy n' my Babbo. I wouldn't hesitate ta' do anythin' I could ta' keep 'em safe."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53) In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"I feel like 'm usually real nice n' polite, or at least I try ta' be. I don' think I change too much as I get ta' know someone other than I'll worry more 'bout 'em n' I'll try my best ta' keep 'em safe, though really that applies ta' most people. 'M also a lot more open 'bout my history with people that are close ta' me. There are certain things I don' talk about with strangers, like the fire n' my family n' gettin' kidnapped n' all that, but I would talk about with close friends n' family if I needed to."
54) Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Jerseyboy. He's helped me through everythin' n' I owe 'im my life. I dunno' if he thinks of it like that but it's true n' I don' think 'm ever gonna' be able ta' repay 'im."
55) Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Probably my Babbo or my Ma. My Ma 'cause she was so kind for so long ta' so many people, even with bein' in a bad place n' my Babbo 'cause he took good care ah' me when he coulda' just left me, like most people 'round us would've. He demands and gets respect n' he takes care ah' me even now. We stay in touch n' I know he loves me. I don' wanna' be like him, necessarily, but I do wanna' be like 'im in some ways, like bein' more confidant n' takin' care ah' the people that matter ta' me."
56) Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"'M real close ta' Jersey. 'E's probably really my only friend right now. He's kinda' rough but he means well n' we look after each other. I know I could trust 'im with anything n' he'd never leave me. 'M hopin' ta' make some more friends in Snowbound but that'll take time."
57) Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"No, I don' got anyone righ' now."
58) Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"No, I don' think so."
59) What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I don' really know. I 'aven't thought about it much, I guess. I want someone confidant n' someone who treats me real well. They gotta' do that 'cause I don' feel so good 'bout myself sometimes n' I need someone ta' help me a li'l bit. I don' care much about anythin' else. I guess I hope that Jersey n' my Babbo would like 'em. I'd also like 'em ta' be pretty smart n' kinda' funny so we can have good conversations n' I don' feel lonely."
60) How close are you to your family?
"I'm real close ta' all my family that's left. Even livin' away from my Babbo, we write each other as often as we can n' obviously 'm real close ta' Jersey seein' as I live with 'im."
61) Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"No, but I want to one day. I like the idea ah' havin' a whole lotta' kids n' a bit family. I like the idea ah' bein' able ta' settle down n' jus' have a normal life in one spot."
62) Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Jerseyboy or my Babbo. I know they'd do anything for me."
63) Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"The same as the last question. Jersey n' I've been through so much together already, I don' even think it'd be polite ta' leave 'im out n' my Babbo's got the resources n' the heart ta' take care ah' me if anythin' ever went wrong."
64) If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"My Babbo n' Jerseyboy for sure, n' maybe a few ah' the Snowbound members I've started ta' get ta' know."
65) Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"I don' really think I got a specific person. Probably whoever set my house on fire. I get a whole lotta' nightmares 'bout them n' what they did."
66) Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I avoid conflict. I don' like stickin' my nose where it don' belong or where I can't fix things."
67) Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"Well, I can keep a pretty good conversation but I dunno' if I'd call myself a 'leader'. If other people are talkin', I'll let 'em steer the conversation n' I'll go where they lead me but I can also jump in with a topic if I really need to, I guess."
68) Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"I don' mind it. I like bein' around lots ah' people 'cause there's interesting things n' conversations but sometimes I need time ta' myself. I also don' really like parties with super loud music n' alcohol n' that kinda' thing. It just ain't really my scene."
69) Do you care what others think of you?
"I like ta' think I don't but I do. I don't in some ways. Like when Jersey calls me lame for not wantin' ta' drink or meet up with some girl or something', I usually don't care but other times I want to impress him or someone else n' I'll do things I wouldn't usually even think about. I also don' like the idea ah' anyone seein' me without my bandages or sweater 'cause 'm worried 'bout what they'd think."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70) What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I really like cookin' n' bakin'. I also like a whole lotta' art stuff, like knittin' n' drawin' n' really anythin' ta' do with music. I play the guitar, Jersey taught me, n' I like singin'. I also like tryin' ta' solve puzzles or readin' books."
71) What is your most treasured possession?
"All my sweaters n' my patterned bandages. My Ma made some ah' the bandages herself so they're real important ta' me 'cause when I got those, it was the first time I felt like I wasn' jus' constantly recoverin'. 'S silly but all the patterns make me think ah' 'em more like a fashion statement than somethin' I feel like I gotta' wear ta' hide myself."
72) What is your favorite color?
"I really like yellow n' light blue but yellow is probably my favorite."
73) What is your favorite food?
"I love any kinda' pasta. I've really been into stuff that's got pesto in it, too, lately."
74) What, if anything, do you like to read?
"I like readin' medical books n' novels, specifically fantasy. I jus' like all the magic n' stuff."
75) What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"I really like older stuff since that's what Jersey n' my Babbo mostly listen to n' watch. I like anythin' I can sing along to but I really like musicals n' stuff."
76) Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"No, I don' do none ah' that. I can't really smoke anythin' n' I've been drunk a couple ah' times but I don' really care for it. Besides, all that kinda' stuff is so bad for ya', n' I don' really see a point in doin' it."
77) How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Maybe playin' some board games with some friends or lookin' after Jersey when he gets a li'l too much ta' drink. I don' sleep much so once I'm alone or at home, I'd be makin' some cookies or cake or somethin' ta' make myself feel better 'bout not sleepin'."
78) What makes you laugh?
"Oh, I dunno. I haven' really thought 'bout it. I guess jokes but not the ones Jersey tells. Things like knock knock jokes n' stuff. They're simple but I like 'em. I've also really liked puns lately."
79) What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"I don' think anythin' could shock or offend me after spendin' so much time with Jersey. I don' like it when he drinks n' smokes n' all that n' I don' like the way he talks 'bout other people sometimes but I guess I jus' tune it out."
80) What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"I have insomnia a lot n' I usually bake, cook, or eat. Sometimes I'll read my medical books n' study on new subjects if 'm feelin' up to it. I take notes n' everythin'."
81) How do you deal with stress?
"I don't. I kinda' ignore it for a long time n' I eat a lot or don't eat a lot, dependin' on how I feel, but then eventually I gotta' deal with it n' then, well... everythin' kinda' falls apart. I don't sleep or eat or sometimes i do much ah' both. I try ta' distract myself too, with readin' n' studyin' n' knittin'. Anythin' I like doin', really."
82) Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"I like ta' have a plan. I can go along with Jersey when he thinks ah' somethin' crazy but I don' like doin' it. Little things can be spontaneous, like goin' on a walk or takin' a li'l more time ta' stay with a friend but important things should be planned as much as possible."
83) What are your pet peeves?
"I really don' like smokin' n' drinkin'. I dunno' how people can do tha' to themselves all the time. I try ta' tell Jersey he shouldn' do it but it ain't worth arguin' 'bout no more."

Re: 100 OC QUESTION CHALLENGE (++ art prizes) - Sorrel - 04-06-2018
Killua wip:
Part 1: The Basics
1) What is your full name?
"My fully name? It's Killua Zoldyck"
2) Where and when were you born?
3) Who are/were your parents?
"My parents are Kikyo and Silva Zoldyck. And well, they're both assassins obviously. We all are"
4) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
*sigh* "Yeah I do. I have a lot of siblings, and I'm the second youngest. My oldest brother is Illumi.. He's extremely strong and he trained me to become an assassin more than my parents. This guy doesn't feel any sort of emotion when it comes to talking to others that's for sure. He doesn't have any morals and is the best example of what a Zoldyck really is. My second oldest brother is Milluki. He's insufferable. All he does is sit around eating all day and just playing with the human technology he always does. He rarely kills anyone, but I guess one good thing about him is that he's good to contact if I need to know information about something. One of my younger brother's is Kalluto. I don't really care much about him since he practically sticks with my mother all the time. He is my younger brother though so I guess I should feel like the stronger older brother and watch out for him. Doubt he needs it. Kalluto doesn't talk much and we don't have a lot of the same interests so we mostly avoid each other. Alluka is the youngest in the family I'm certain. I grew up with her and really had fun playing with her. She's very nice, but like any other Zoldyck she's incredibly dangerous."
5) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"Right now? Well, I live in Snowbound, although I really go wherever the hell I want. And I don't live with anyone, I live alone because I feel like that's for the best."
6) What is your occupation?
"I don't.... really have one right now. Unless you consider me running away from my family an occupation"
7) Write a full physical description of yourself.
"Well I'm a serval with complete albinism. I lack the spots an albino serval does have. Uh, I'm the height of a full grown domestic cat, but a full grown domestic cat will probably outweigh me a little bit. My fur is slightly longer than that of an average serval because I put a lot of effort in type to keep it clean. My eyes are a blue I guess, maybe a sapphire is the best way to describe them? One easy trait to see of me is that my front paws have metal claws. They were more straight than they are curved, so its easier to stab others instead of trying to grapple with them. They're long enough that they hide when I fully sheathe them, so I can scratch others if I just try to swipe at them. I'm mostly built for speed so I use that as an advantage when fighting."
8 ) To which social class do you belong?
"I guess with my family we're pretty high up there. I mean the Zoldyck's are an elite family that is known across different parts of the world. Now though that I'm not with them, I guess I'm in the middle right now. Not like I use my last name to get any special treatment. All that will do is potentially get me killed"
9) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Basically impossible. I don't suffer from any of those. A physical weakness may include that I don't have a ton of stamina and can't lift heavy things? But physically I'm in top condition"
10) Are you right- or left-handed?
"I primarily use my right for attacking. Although I could use my left if I really needed to."
11) What does your voice sound like?
"I'm a kid what do you expect I sound like? Kinda high pitched maybe, and I have a very slight Japanese accent. Which is the language I grew up with obviously. You would have to ask someone else what I end up sounding like."
12) What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Probably 'Yo' when I greet others, and some other type of insults."
13) What do you have in your pockets?
"Pockets? What? I don't carry anything to keep on paw because I can just conjure whatever I want. Like my yo-yos."
14) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"Hmmm I tend to keep up on the high ground. So I usually like to remain in the trees so I can get a good vantage point and prepare to defend myself if someone tries to attack me there. I tap my claws on whatever I'm standing on, occasionally, depending on my mood. I eat a lot of candy, so I'll almost always have candy somewhere, and if I don't it just meant I ate a lot of it already."
Part 2: Growing Up
15) How would you describe your childhood in general?
"Fucking awful. The only thing I ever did all day was learning how to kill others. Which isn't exactly that hard but its literally all I ever did and I was stuck on the damn mountain that we own as a family. The torture training was annoying because of how painful it was, and the poison training was even worse than that. I didn't have any friends, all it had ever been about was business, and it still is. I technically still have a childhood left to live, but I doubt my family will let me enjoy the rest of the time I have left."
16) What is your earliest memory?
"Probably the first time I tasted candy. Something that my parents gave me because I wouldn't stop complaining."
17) How much schooling have you had?
"More than I would like to admit."
18) Did you enjoy school?
"Obviously no."
19) Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"From my brother, Illumi. He was practically the one that raised me since my parents were always off doing something else. He taught me everything I know now."
20) While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"I guess at the time it was my older brother, Illumi. He was always so perfect at everything, and I kinda wanted to be like him. Until I learned the hard truth of what he really wanted and what he had done to me."
21) While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"Horribly. Milluki nearly got me killed when he left me to die once I got bitten by a snake. Illumi put me through torture training over and over again. I never really interacted with Kalluto. We all separated ourselves from each other, only interacting when we had to on business. Don't even get me started on my obsessive mother. My father was pretty cool though, still is."
22) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"Younger me? I would have said an assassin. Now? I don't know anymore."
23) As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Playing with the toys and eating the candy that my parents got me. It was the only time I could relax really."
24) As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
25) As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Did you not already hear? I didn't have any friends. I wasn't allowed to leave that damn mansion until I could properly defend myself! The first friend I had I ended up slaughtering in front of my father and brother."
26) When and with whom was your first kiss?
"F-First kiss? Damnit. That bastard from the Tanglewood ended up taking it, not like I really care. It was just disgusting."
27) Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"The hell is this? I'm just a kid so obviously!"
28) If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
Part 3: Past Influences
29) What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
30) Who has had the most influence on you?
31) What do you consider your greatest achievement?
32) What is your greatest regret?
33) What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
34) Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
35) When was the time you were the most frightened?
36) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
37) If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
38) What is your best memory?
39) What is your worst memory?
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40) Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
41) What is your greatest fear?
42) What are your religious views?
43) What are your political views?
44) What are your views on sex?
45) Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
46) In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
47) Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
48) What do you believe makes a successful life?
49) How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
50) Do you have any biases or prejudices?
51) Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
52) Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

"Probably the first time I tasted candy. Something that my parents gave me because I wouldn't stop complaining."
17) How much schooling have you had?
"More than I would like to admit."
18) Did you enjoy school?
"Obviously no."
19) Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"From my brother, Illumi. He was practically the one that raised me since my parents were always off doing something else. He taught me everything I know now."
20) While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"I guess at the time it was my older brother, Illumi. He was always so perfect at everything, and I kinda wanted to be like him. Until I learned the hard truth of what he really wanted and what he had done to me."
21) While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"Horribly. Milluki nearly got me killed when he left me to die once I got bitten by a snake. Illumi put me through torture training over and over again. I never really interacted with Kalluto. We all separated ourselves from each other, only interacting when we had to on business. Don't even get me started on my obsessive mother. My father was pretty cool though, still is."
22) As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"Younger me? I would have said an assassin. Now? I don't know anymore."
23) As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Playing with the toys and eating the candy that my parents got me. It was the only time I could relax really."
24) As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
25) As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Did you not already hear? I didn't have any friends. I wasn't allowed to leave that damn mansion until I could properly defend myself! The first friend I had I ended up slaughtering in front of my father and brother."
26) When and with whom was your first kiss?
"F-First kiss? Damnit. That bastard from the Tanglewood ended up taking it, not like I really care. It was just disgusting."
27) Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"The hell is this? I'm just a kid so obviously!"
28) If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

Re: 100 OC QUESTION CHALLENGE (++ art prizes) - Kayn - 04-06-2018
Kayn wip:
Part 1: The Basics
1) What is your full name?
"Kayn. Kayn Simploom now, but that's merely the name given by the one who took me in. My real name has always and forever will be simply Kayn. Father wasn't one for family names."
2) Where and when were you born?
"In an ancient Aztec temple, on the 15th of April. Huh, it's almost been a full year now. My birthday is coming up I suppose. That'll be... You know, I'd rather not think about home anymore."
3) Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"Criminals. Some would say with a good heart, but criminals nonetheless. Gangsters specifically. Father was a self-righteous avenger of the people who contradicted that description at every opportunity. Mother? Hell, I didn't know a damn thing about her. Not even her name. There were people who tried to act like my mother, but I've no idea how my biological mother is. Names don't matter anymore though. They are tags for the living, and well..."
4) Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"Several. Many of them I grew apart from. The one I was closest with was actually feral and deaf, but her heart was always in the right place. As right as it could be for someone who had difficulties comprehending the world at least. She was always there for me, and I did the same for her. I... don't think any of them are still around. Now though I have Ectoplasmicjoy. She's really sweet, always excited, and a general bundle of energy. She may not be blood, but she's my sister all the same."
5) Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I live in Snowbound, with Raine and Ectoplasmicjoy. And with all the other members of the clan of course. I'm new to the place so I'm still not entirely comfortable with it, but it seems a nice enough place. I get to live with my extremely sweet mother and energetic sister in a place where they can feel relatively safe. There really isn't much more I could ask for."
6) What is your occupation?
"Former or current? I used to be a drug dealer. A damn good one too. Back where I used to live I was practically a king with how many valuables I made in the trade. Then I turned into a killer, a weapon to be used against whatever and whoever my clan decided should die. Funnily enough it turns out I was extremely good at that as well. Now though? You know, I don't really know what I am anymore. I've been asking myself that question for awhile."
7) Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
8) To which social class do you belong?
"Upper class. *Extremely* upper class. I left my old home behind, but since I can conjure the things that belong to me at will, let's just say that if the Typhoon knew about how much I personally have... They would probably tear Snowbound apart looking for me."
9) Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Physical weaknesses? Not really that I can think of specifically. I'm prone to exactly what you'd expect from someone of my species, but nothing extra on top of that. My body is in pretty peak performance. One of the only things about me that is ideal to be honest."
10) Are you right- or left-handed?
"Ambidextrous, but I favor my right paw even though I'm skilled with both. I couldn't honestly tell you why that is though."
11) What does your voice sound like?
"I would personally describe my voice as a rumbling purr, a musical howl that serenades the hearts and minds of those graced by my melodious tones. Although, I find some people tend to assume that my voice combined with my word choice means I'm condescending. They're usually right."
12) What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Love, beautiful, darling, angel, handsome. I'm sure the pattern is obvious. I tend to find myself causally engaging in the exchange of flirtations with just about anyone who catches my eye. Other than that though, I often bring up family in one way or another. Oh, and I love to start my argument with 'personally' or 'honestly' when I tend to disagree completely with the opposing debate."
13) What do you have in your pockets?
"Pockets? I tend to find that clothes slow you down. They restrict your movement and almost entirely get in the way. When you can conjure things anyway, why bother carrying things around?"
14) Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Part 2: Growing Up

4. Where do you live now, and with whom?
"now i live in snowbound, though it's not by choice. i would still be home if my stupid brother corbett didn't need me to rescue him. guess i was the one who needed rescuing... anyways, the people of snowbound are really cool, but they're strangely nice so that makes me a bit uncomfortable."

1. What is your full name?
"my name is melantha faber, but only family gets to call me that. randos call me mel."
2. Where and when were you born?
"i was born in the summer, high up in the mountains. but our mountains were special. the dirt and rock was red and the trees were short, dense pines. i've never seen another place like it."
2. Who are your parents?
my dad is cataclysm and my mother is jacky. they've been in love since they first met, though their relationship had its rough patches. i think my dad was a caracal before me and my siblings were born, but since mom is a mountain lion, he changed shapes with his powers. some of my siblings inherited his abilities, but i'm normal just like mom."
3. Do you have any siblings? What are they like?
"i have seven siblings: five sisters, one half-sister, and one brother. their names are adriana, hummingbirdkit, charlie, stella fracta, alison, corbett, and dearlea. they're very rowdy and obnoxious, but i love them all. and i miss them bothering me every morning and keeping me up late at night. it's just not the same."
4. Where do you live now, and with whom?
"now i live in snowbound, though it's not by choice. i would still be home if my stupid brother corbett didn't need me to rescue him. guess i was the one who needed rescuing... anyways, the people of snowbound are really cool, but they're strangely nice so that makes me a bit uncomfortable."
5. What is your occupation?
"i...don't really have one? i just help out with hunting and guarding the border, mostly."
6. Give a full physical description of yourself.
"right now i'm nine months old, but i'm still growing. my paws are fairly large and i'm already the same height as a medium sized dog. i grew out of my spots a couple weeks ago, instead my pelt is a sleek sandy hue; albeit still fluffy because of the cold. overall, i'm just the average cougar: no special markings, no unique coloring, and no identifiable wounds which set me apart from the rest. i'm is not ugly, per say, just plain. if anything, my eyes are the most beautiful aspect of my features. they are a pale, olive green which appear blue or grey in the right lighting. but it is a difficult detail to notice."
7. To which social class do you belong?
"i'm not quite sure what this question means? i guess...i'm just normal. i'm not a leader or an important official or anything but i'm also not a prisoner. does that work?"
8. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"nope. i'm fit as a fiddle, except for the occasional starvation, of course. oh, wait, i guess an extreme physical weakness is that i don't have powers. i'm just normal, so if anyone comes at me with those crazy elemental bending abilities, i'm as good as dead."
9. Are you right- or left-handed?
"i have no hands. next question."
10. What does your voice sound like?
"huh, i've never thought about this before. i suppose it's a bit deeper than most girls, and a little raspy. mom always said i'd make a good singer, but i'm not quite sure why--i don't even like singing."
11. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"i say 'maker' a lot. mom and dad were kind of religious, but i don't think i picked up on any of it besides the curses."
12. What do you have in your pockets?
"what are pockets?"
13. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"dad used to say that i'm sassy and mom would call me a smartass, so i guess i'm naturally a very sarcastic person."
Part 2: Growing Up
14. How would you describe your childhood in general?
"pretty happy and sheltered. too bad it ended so early. i miss being obliviously happy."
15. What is your earliest memory?
"playing with my sibling out in a rainstorm just after we were old enough to leave the den. we were rough housing way too close to a cliff but we didn't care. i can still smell the rain."
16. How much schooling have you had?
"my dad started teaching me how to read and how to write before i got separated from them... i've never had the chance to continue my learning since it's more important to learn how to hunt and fight right now. at the very least, i have a basic education."
17. Did you enjoy school?
"yeah, dad always made it fun and my siblings were always causing trouble."
18. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"i learned most of mind the hard way. i didn't have my parents around to teach me in the wilds so i had to learn fast or die quickly."
19. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"i've always looked up to dad. he's incredibly smart, amazingly powerful, and still takes the time to spend quality time with my siblings and i. anyone who can put up with my mother and stay sane is practically a superhero."
20. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"i much as i love mom, she is scatter-brained and rather useless around the household but she still thinks she can boss everyone around when she suddenly decides to do actual mom things. so her and i ended up butting heads all the time. dad and i get along much better. probably because he isn't crazy. out of all my siblings, stella and i got along the best. it was like we could read each other's minds. i miss her so much, it hurts."
21. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"nothing in particular. but i did want to be strong and powerful like dad. unfortunately, i found out early on that i inherited mom's normalcy instead of dad's cool powers."
22. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"i know it's lame, but i loved helping out dad. he always trusted me to take charge and do things well, but he was patient enough to take the time to teach me when i did something wrong. other than that, i just liked to learn. i still do, but i don't get to do it as much as anymore."
23. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"hah! bossy. definitely bossy. i knew what i wanted and when i wanted to get it and if you couldn't get with you, you had better of gotten out of the way."
24. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"my only friends were my family members. we were the only sentient animals in my birthplace."
25. When and with whom was your first kiss?
"i've never kissed anyone before... i used to dream about it, but i don't think i can trust anyone enough to get that close anymore."
26. Are you a virgin?
"well...yeah. i don't even think i'm even able to reproduce yet..."
27. If you are a supernatural being, tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just normal, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"i don't have much of a past--i'm still young. only my dad's teaching a desire to survive have gotten me this far."
Part 3: Past Influences
