Re: Character Quizzes
Tony's Quiz (in progress)
1.Is it better to be loved than feared? Or better feared than loved?
I'd rather be loved, but not for some reason like "he's a celebrity." Being loved for who I am is more important than what the general public thinks.
2.Take a Devil’s Advocate stand. Describe what there is to hate about you. What are good reasons for other characters to dislike/hate you?
3.What would provoke you to murder a random person on the street? A lie? An insult? An attack? A crime against one of your friends? Nothing?
4.Does revenge mean (1) “an eye for an eye,” (2) repayment with interest,” (3) “the only good enemy is a dead enemy,” or (4) something else? In exacting this revenge, would you serve it hot or cold, awaiting a perfect time and place?
5.You have the opportunity to gain some information by torture; what do you do?
Get a piece of string, a small fruit, and leave the rest to the imagination of the person being interrogated. Although if they have some super-power weakness that I know of, I might use it against them.
6.Everybody has some little item that they regard as somehow sacred. A piece of clothing, a memento of some event, whatever. What is your sacred item? Tell the story of how you found it, or why it came to be important.
Everybody has what? Where did you hear that? It's news to me.
7.Describe your character’s voice. Would you say s/he speaks with formality? Casually? Does s/he have any favorite expressions or curses?
8.What does your character wear by preference? Do you wear makeup or jewelry?
9.What emotions can you express in public? Sorrow? Anger? Sadness? Humour? Disappointment? Joy?
10.What are your hobbies? Do you paint , write poetry or collect vintage wine?
Well, I play the guitar and igil. Not well enough to get into a band, however. I like arcade games. You know, the bulky stand-up kind, not home consoles. And not the pansy games that are more like the designer's daydreams than a serious game. You know, Fashion Rancher: Waif and the like.
Light is fascinating stuff. That's why I majored in physics. I wanted to understand rainbows and reflections better. The more I learn, the more I'm amazed at how this one simple bit of physics drives so many phenomena in everyday life.
11.Tell me about your relationship with your father? Your mother?
12.How far would you go to help a friend? A Sibling?
13.What would cause you to betray a friend, relative, or loved one?
14.Do you have any siblings? If so, are you particularly close to any? Do you hate any?
I'm an only child, unfortunately. It would be kind of nice to have a kid brother or sister, but I don't think my folks want a second child.

Suddenly, an individual appears that you have not quite considered an enemy, but you do not like by any stretch whatsoever.. The individual offers to help you. Do you accept? Would your answer differ if it was a fight to the death?
