Limsa Lominsa, 13th Sun of the Sixth Astral Moon 1555
3. Who are/were your parents?
T’ehlat Tia(Father, a Seeker of the Sun) and Sadi Ageha(Mother, Keeper of the Moon). He was adopted by a Hellsguard Roegadyn named Rugged Path, who had been the leader of the small free company his mother had been part of after her death.
4. Do you have any siblings?
No.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom?
He lives alone in Limsa Lominsa while doing his research with the Arcanist Guild.
6. What is your occupation?
Studying to be an Arcanist with ulterior motives...
7. Write a full physical description of yourself.
On the tall side for a Miqo'te, T'sal has his father's warm creamy skin and his mother's black hair with deep red highlights when the light hits it. His ears and tail are solid black. He has bright, captivating silver eyes.
8. To which social class do you belong?
He is secure financially thanks to inheriting the funds left by Rugged Path and the small company that raised him as his adopted family. He was highly tutored growing up, so is well read and cultured about the other countries.
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Not that he's discovered so far... though he could claim to be allergic to female miqo'te if annoyed enough.
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Ambidextrous. Favors his right hand.
11. What does your voice sound like?
Deep and 'purring/furred'... (if he had a VO it would be Benedict Cumberbatch.)

Hm. (And that's as expressive as he gets unless necessary...)
13. What do you have in your pockets?
Some sweets, gil, sealed ink-wells and quills.

He tends to stare off at nothing, eyes unfocused and ears twitching as if listening to something no one else can hear. He also tends to get people's names wrong... regularly and without care. Him getting your name right a majority of the time means he actually considers it worthwhile to remember.

Spoiler
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
A series of losses and rich in learning. Losing one parent after the other didn't mean he wasn't brought up well and with care.
16. What is your earliest memory?
Thunderstorms rolling off the ocean.
17. How much schooling have you had?
Heavily schooled. His adopted father was insistent that he be tutored and bought him books more than toys growing up.
18. Did you enjoy school?
He did well in private tutoring but avoided any kind of group lessons whenever possible. He devoured books and had a very sharp mind.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
His adopted father had him running errands and doing odd jobs around the docks when he wasn't being tutored, hoping to keep the boy engaged and occupied.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
Rugged Path, his adopted father and the other two members of his mother's former company that collectively helped to raise him, a female Midlander and a female Duskwight.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
It was hard to say if T'sal ever did or did not 'get along' with anyone, but he was attached to the three members of his adopted 'family'.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
He did not have any firm goals that he talked about, though his aptitude for books and keen observation skills had his adopted father pushing him towards the Arcanist Guild to work as a customs agent in the docks.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Reading. Sitting at his window and watching the storms roll across the ocean.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
T'sal was very quiet and detached as a child. He was very hard to get a rise out of, though Rugged Path had a knack for it.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
No. T'sal was distant from almost everyone except his adopted family. He was well known from his work on the docks and liked for his willingness to take on jobs and do them, though most also admitted his detached and distant nature was off-putting and could be taken as condescending or dismissive.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
T'sal dislikes being touched in general and especially by those he doesn't consider close. As such, he hasn't had a first kiss.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Yes. And unlikely to change any time soon, given his personality and temperament.
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.
This is hard to do a short answer for. Basically T'sal was born with a very strong connection to the Aetherflow. He was exposed to an extremely dangerous concentration of Aether when he was 17 that nearly killed him. He was catatonic or slipping in and out of extreme nightmares for several months, then spent almost a year after that secluded in his rooms before emerging and starting to seriously study the Arcanist skills and dig for information on legends and stories of summoning magic.

Spoiler
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
His watching Bahamut burst from Dalamud and kill his adopted family before he could reach the battlefield.
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
Rugged Path, his adopted father. His mother's bias still colors his view of things, including his dislike of female miqo'te(she did not trust them and he picked up on that), even though she died when he was only 5.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
He doesn't feel he has achieved anything yet...
32. What is your greatest regret?
That he did not make it to the battlefield in time, though he is aware it is a stupid regret, as he would not have survived. He also regrets that he and Rugged Path fought before they parted for the last time where he said some very vicious and hurtful things.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
That would mean he acknowledges things as 'good' or 'evil'.... he is aware that others do so, and usually goes with whatever the law dictates. So... no answer.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
Watching Bahamut emerge from Dalamud.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
He was subjected to getting dressed up a few times by the two female members of his adopted family as a child. He doesn't talk about it.

The only thing he would change would be to not fight with Rugged Path the day he left to join the Battle of Carteneau.
38. What is your best memory?
He doesn't really have one. Or wouldn't really understand the question. Possibly a nostalgic one he might bring up would be curling up and falling asleep on Rugged Path's chest as a child.
39. What is your worst memory?
Bahamut's destruction of the armies, including his adopted family, at the Battle of Carteneau.

Spoiler
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Realist? He accepts situations as they come, so he may seem more pessimistic than he thinks he is to some.
41. What is your greatest fear?
Dying before he achieves his goals.
42. What are your religious views?
He is completely indifferent to it. He won't dismiss the fact that the Twelve exist, as that has been proven. He just doesn't care that they do. They were ineffective once and he doesn't see a need to concern himself with them. He doesn't particularly care if others do or don't.
43. What are your political views?
He doesn't care. Provided that the politicians keep out of his way, they can do whatever it is they do to keep themselves busy. Let the people who care about it deal with it, basically.
44. What are your views on sex?
Necessary for a species to survive, obviously. Outside of that... not something he's concerned about.
45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Easily. If it is necessary for his goals, not a problem. Creatures live and die. Being able to talk doesn't really change that.
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
That 'evil' thing again.... the only thing that might fit here would be 'being a Garlean'. That's about as bad as it gets, as far as T'sal is concerned. There's a pretty easy solution to it, too... (See question 45...)
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Not his area of interest. He's sure other people believe in it, which is just fine for them.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Achieving his goal.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
......he rarely exposes that much about himself, though he doesn't actively lie. He just doesn't say much. And he doesn't really admit to much in the area of feelings.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Yes. Garleans.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
He dislikes being touched and will not be intimate with anyone. And being friendly towards a Garlean is even less likely.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
No one right now. The few people he actually felt any kind of connection to are dead.

Spoiler
53. In general, how do you treat others?  Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
He's indifferent to most, unaffected and detached. He will appear polite and helpful if necessary but rarely cares enough to remember names. If he actually does ever care at all, he would start by getting their names right and actually considering what they say.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
He doesn't have anyone living that is important to him at the moment. Previously, Rugged Path.
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
No one alive. Again, Rugged Path was the central person he was connected to growing up.
56. Who are your friends?  Do you have a best friend?  Describe these people.

No.

61. Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  Why or why not?
No. No. He's not interested. -_-
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
....currently he feels he can only really rely on himself. Before, he relied upon his adopted family, mostly Rugged Path. In the past 5 years, he hasn't reached out to anyone. He is starting to learn to work with Carbuncle.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?
No. At least, not anymore. The only people he did trust are dead.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
No one that he is aware of.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Garleans. ALL of them. Why? They're breathing still...
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
He won't seek out an argument but he won't avoid it, either. If it appears in front of him, he'll deal with it.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
He has, up to now, avoided most social situations.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Studying. Maybe sketching.
78. What makes you laugh?
....oh, right. Aside from his own mental musings, he will laugh if it appears that is what is socially expected where he is.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
The stupidity of those around him. Nosy people and especially overly curious female miqo'te with opinions on what/where he should be.
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
If? That's a usual situation and he pours over the books he collects or sits and stares out the window at the night sky to where Dalamud used to hang.

Finds the source and gets rid of it. If he can't do that, he can work himself up to the point where he either has to smoke or go running.

After that, he will run whatever errands he has to, such as picking up food or looking for more old books and grimoires. Late afternoon finds him back in his quarters studying unless some particularly interesting lessons are going on in the Arcanist Guild. He may or may not remember to eat an evening meal, though he can be dragged into it if having to deal with anyone to get information or request a particular book from a merchant. Once he retires to his rooms he will study, read or sketch depending on what he needs to do. Sleeping might happen, but it is never expected or scheduled. He will get coldly annoyed or grumpy if his routine is disrupted unless it is a very good reason.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
His keen mind, observational skills and extremely calm disposition.

Yes, he's perfectly fine with who he is.
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer?  Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public?
He was born into it, as both his parents and his adopted family were adventurers. He doesn't discuss his long-term goal as an adventurer but he scoffs at the idea that he has any kind of altruistic 'heroic' reasons. What he is doing is, he says, for the best of Eorzea, but he will deny being a hero or good person personally.
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
The destruction of the Garleans.
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
It will depend on if his research leads him to the lost powers he is seeking or not.
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
After the last Garlean stops breathing. Then he doesn't care.
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Gather all of his notes and research so that someone else can use it to continue his work. After that.... if possible, find some Garleans to take with him. If that is not possible, sit at his window and sketch.
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
Ideally, the destruction of the Garleans.... otherwise, his research.
98. What three words best describe your personality?
Calm, detached, focused.
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Detached, intriguing, confusing.
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?
Learn how to actually connect and interact with people...

Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name?
My name is Astrid Thalia Arlynn.

2. Where and when were you born?
20 years ago, I was born in the ever-beautiful Gridania on the 17th day of the Second Astral Moon.

3. Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Hoyt & Erica Arlynn. My father is an incredibly strong and somewhat strict man who lets nothing get in his way, but is not blinded by his brawn due to a kind heart. Mother is incredibly loving, gives the best advice, and knows how to balance work and play very well.

4. Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?
Two, in fact. A brother and a sister. Both are older than I.

My sister, Ingrid, is quite a bit different from me. She is unbelievably kind and forgiving to the point of naivete, studying bores her, and she works as a wandering artist. Ingrid was also born with a natural talent for Thaumaturgy.

My brother, Lamont, is a part of the Immortal Flames Grand Company. Growing up, he often broke up the fights between Ingrid and I. He is extremely mellow in nature. So much so that I almost find it vexing... Lamont is very proficient with a lance.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.
I currently live in Gridania, though I have a room at the Gladiator's Guild in Ul'dah. I travel between both city-states constantly.

6. What is your occupation?
I juggle a couple of different jobs. I work part-time as a researcher for the Alchemist's Guild. I also engage in botany, but at my leisure. My true occupation is that of a field escort. I am assigned to people who need protection as they traverse through dangerous areas. My typical clients are weak adventurers, gatherers, researchers and artifact hunters incapable of defending themselves, merchants, and mages.

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.
I am quite tall for a Midlander, with an average build. My hair is a brilliant white and cut short. It is a physical characteristic that runs in the family and is exclusive to the spellcasters. We know not why it happens, it just does. My eyes are crystal blue like my mother's.

Typically, I prefer to dress in whatever is practical and efficient for the situation I am encountering. If I must protect someone, I will wear plate. If I am harvesting or gardening, I wear simple gathering clothes. In all other scenarios, I prefer robes.

8. To which social class do you belong?
"Upper-middle classed" is what I believe it would be referred to. I have never had to struggle for money, but it is not exactly just handed to me, either.

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

10. Are you right- or left-handed?
I am right-handed when it comes to writing, but ambidextrous in the use of any tool or weapon.

11. What does your voice sound like?
My voice? An odd question. If you must know, I have been told that my voice sounds deep, meticulous, and proud.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
It seems to annoy some people that I occasionally open statements with a single adjective or noun. I see it as my way of getting straight to the point in the event that I fail to be understood. I also sometimes give people one-word answers when elaboration is expected.

((Ex: She will sometimes say "query", then ask her question. That or if you state a contradiction, she will simply say "contradictory" and offer no further explanation. You'll see some examples in this interview.))

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Irrelevant.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I do not know if I would call it a 'strange mannerism'... However, I can drink a hot cup of tea in any sort of weather. It may double as an annoying habit as I drink copious amounts of it daily and I am quite adamant about the manner in which it is prepared and served.

Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Satisfactory.

16. What is your earliest memory?
My brother running through Ul'dah with me bouncing about on his shoulders. I was quite small. Everything seemed even more gigantic back then...

17. How much schooling have you had?
An extensive amount.

18. Did you enjoy school?
I adored school. I love it so much that I have considered picking up teaching or possibly attending an advanced institution of some sort.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
I was born with an affinity for magic like my sister, but I am not a Thaumaturge. I was gifted with the abilities of a Conjurer. It seems that water is my favored element, as I can easily bend it to my will. As for my skills as a swordswoman, my father taught me all that I needed to know.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.
My parents were my role models without a doubt, and still are to some degree.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Well enough. I did not cause my parents too many problems. My siblings and I were very close. Ingrid and I could bond over magic training and our love of nature. Lamont and I could bond over our thrill for battle and passion for knowledge.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A lot of things, actually. For a while, I was convinced that I would either be a scholar or a merchant whose major product was signature-crafted teas. Throughout my teens, I aimed to become a herbalist for a time.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Reading, sparring with Lamont and my father, training and experimenting with my magic, swimming, exploring, gardening, cooking, and taking naps in the forest underneath one of the huge trees. In fact, I still do most of these things!

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
I was very curious. Too curious, perhaps. Ingrid and I often got caught doing many things or sneaking into places we should not have. I have never been shy, yet many would probably have called me aloof.

25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?
I would not call myself popular... But I was rather well-liked. I am a Conjurer -- it is very hard to possess Conjury and be ignored.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Confidential.

27. Are you a virgin?  If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
...Inappropriate.

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 was merely born being able to do what it is that I do. It is as simple as that.

Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
This is a rather difficult question for me. I have plenty of memories of significant events, but I do not think that I could call any of them the most important. Well, except for that day...

30. Who has had the most influence on you?
My family. If I am to pick only a single person, then it would be my brother. Lamont has influenced me in a large variety of ways, for the largest variety of reasons.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Convincing my father to teach me how to use a sword, believe it or not. At first he was heavily against it...

32. What is your greatest regret?
A lack of hesitation. A lack of control. A lack of self.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
...Blindness.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
Absolutely not.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
When I was unable to recognize anyone. What happened? I was not myself...

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Secret.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
The events of that awful day...

38. What is your best memory?
Being accepted into the Gladiator's Guild. I did not think I would be good enough to get in, but they were impressed with my skills despite my background as a spellcaster.

39. What is your worst memory?
Please... I don't want to remember.

Part 4: Beliefs & Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Pessimistic, and very much so.

41. What is your greatest fear?
F... Frogs. What? They are sticky and slimy and just... Ugh! Revolting! I do not want them to touch me. Keep them away from me!

42. What are your religious views?
My favored deities are Thaliak, who I was partially named after, and Nyemia. I look to Thaliak for guidance and understanding. From Nymeia, I seek protection and peace of mind.

43. What are your political views?
A good nation should exist for the people who thrive within and sustain it. The glorified, gilded circle-jerk that is the society of the wealthy elite and all of their sycophantic behavior is something I could rather live without.

44. What are your views on sex?
I would prefer to only engage in the act for reasons that pertain to love... But I know that is rarely the case these days, especially in places like Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa.

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Yes, I am able. Killing is acceptable for means of survival and protection, nothing more. Some people like to warp the definitions of those terms to fit their own twisted perceptions. I am not one of them.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
To steal the life of an innocent or kill for pleasure's sake.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
I do not believe in soul mates. That is a strange concept to me. True love, however, is another matter entirely.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Passion, bravery, and wit. You must be witty enough to make the right choices, brave enough to try, and passionate enough to want to succeed.

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 am pretty honest about what I am thinking. My blunt nature turns some off, but I am not too bothered by it. This is simply who I am.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I am unsure of where to begin with that one. My greatest prejudice is against those who are, for the lack of terminology that is more refined, stupid. At least by my standards.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?
I will never harm a child. Ever. I would die before I ever did such a thing... Never again...

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
My family, for sure. Mother, Father, Lamont, Ingrid... If there was no other way, I would forfeit my life for any of them in a heartbeat.

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 would say that I generally treat strangers politely until they do something to show that they deserve otherwise. I do not tend to be talkative. Only with people I know very well, which currently only consists of my family. I do not even engage in conversation with fellow guild members too often.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
There is no single person I deem more important than everyone else right now. My dedication is to my family at this point in time.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
My father without a doubt. He worked very hard to get us to where we are today, loves us dearly, has gone out of his way to protect us, and had to deal with all of the hardships my siblings and I gave him in our childhood.

56. Who are your friends?  Do you have a best friend?  Describe these people.
Any friends I had were erased from my life on that day... Friends are a hindrance. I do not seek such relationships.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other?  If so, describe this person.
I do not.

58. Have you ever been in love?  If so, describe what happened.
I have not and I do not expect to be any time soon. It is a distraction.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Unknown.

60. How close are you to your family?
Inseparable.

61. Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  Why or why not?
I have not. I currently do not desire such, but with time and experience, that may change.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
My brother, Lamont. If he is unavailable, then perhaps a guild mentor.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?
Without question, I know that Lamont can protect me better than anyone. My father also qualifies for this, but Lamont is around a lot more often.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
My family.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Myself.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
This depends on my level of agitation. I would say half and half.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
No. I prefer to observe.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?  Why or why not?
If it is an academic setting, I rather enjoy myself. Discussing theories with like-minded individuals is exhilarating. If it is an extremely informal social setting... I am reserved.

69. Do you care what others think of you?
Not in the slightest.

Part 6: Likes & Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
As I said when asked about my childhood... Most of my favorite activities have not changed. I love to read, train, experiment, swim, explore, cook, and take naps in relaxing places. I keep a small garden as well.

71. What is your most treasured possession?
A small key chain that I typically clip onto my belt or my bag strap. Someone precious gave it to me a long time ago... And I never want to forget them.

72. What is your favorite color?
I find blues to be quite fetching. A noble color. I am also rather partial to reds, purples, and silver. By contrast, I was never too fond of yellow or orange on anything other than flora. Yellow robes or orange leather? Dreadful.

73. What is your favorite food?
Without fail, if you need me to come running to the dinner table, put out freshly prepared fish. I love seafood. I cannot get enough of it. I will also eat just about any fruit.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
Most things. The only kinds of books that I am not very partial to are biographies. An account of another person's life is not exciting to me at all. Autobiographies, on the other hand, are acceptable.

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
A nice book. I am also fond of music.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs?  If so, why?  Do you want to quit?
Smoking? Vile. Drugs? Uncouth. I do drink, however. Unwinding at the end of a long day or week with a delicious brandy or some sort of sinful cocktail is a treat, I find.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Assuming I have no work to do and the weather is agreeable, I may take a walk. Curling up with a great book and a cup of tea is my idea of a good night as well.

78. What makes you laugh?
Watching people make fools of themselves. I am also partial to wordplay, admittedly.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Stupidity. Also, public displays of lewdness. Sordid.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
Read, of course. Or train.

81. How do you deal with stress?
I try to find something to distract myself with. Sometimes writing in my journal helps. If all else fails, I need to find water. I am heavily attuned to the element. Even if I cannot swim in it, simply touching it or being near a large amount of it can calm me down.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I usually plan ahead. Battle is a tiny bit different, however. While I do have strategies, there are occasions where over-thinking is actually detrimental.

83. What are your pet peeves?
Too many to list. I suppose one of the most prominent would be wastefulness. If people throw out good food, destroy nature or kill wildlife for little to no reason, or are quick to trash a lot of hard work? That drives me up a wall.

Part 7: Self Images & Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you.  How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
What a boring inquiry... I get up, wash and dress myself, and carry out whatever tasks I was given the day previous. Once those are completed, I wind down with a book or some other activity I find pleasant. Sometimes this changes if I am exploring, running a long errand, visiting family, or carrying out a lengthy assignment. It does not bother me if my routine is disrupted because I barely have one.

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
My tenacity. I am strong-willed and rarely give up. If there is something I absolutely must do, I will keep trying and trying until I succeed. Otherwise, I must either physically be stopped or my energy must give out before I call it quits.

86. What is your greatest weakness?
A doubt in my abilities to protect others. A fear that I will make a grave mistake.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would want to be stronger... Not only physically, but in every other way possible.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Introverted.

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
Organized... for the most part.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
I am good at cooking, fighting, and healing. I am bad at not being judgmental, making small talk, and dealing with children.

91. Do you like yourself?
I do not...

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)?  Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public?  (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)
I am not really an adventurer. However, my reasons for working as an escort have to do with terrible events that have occurred in my past. I see my current work as a sort of repentance.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
That is an excellent question. I have not thought about it. I suppose I would like to gain a high rank of some sort in a guild or company. Or perhaps I will start my own business someday? Become a master of conjury? Become a master swordswoman? I am unsure.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In the same position, but stronger and wiser.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Peacefully. As strange as it may sound, I would prefer to drown.

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Swim, eat, and spend time with my family.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
I am fine with being forgotten after I die. I am not concerned with being remembered. I simply want to contribute to the world in the most positive way that I can for a majority of my life, no matter how small in nature what I do is.

98. What three words best describe your personality?
Laid-back, reserved, thoughtful.

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Distant, critical, tenacious.

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?  (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
I would tell my character to stop being such a hardass and lighten up. She takes things too seriously and needs to learn how to have fun in more ways than just what she considers to be fun. I'd also tell her to stop acting like she hates companionship, because she's totes lonely and needs (and actually wants!) some damned friends. Finally, I'd warn her that her snobbish attitude was going to get her put in her place someday.

Part 1: The Basics1.What is your full name?
“My name?  Tomas…” He pauses with an unclear look on his face, before clearing his throat. “…Colyer... Tomas Colyer” He finishes with a fake smile. “What? Full name…”  Tomas lets out a soft sigh as he slinks back in his chair “Tomas Alcott Colyer” He answers with a twinge of embarrassment.     

2.Where and when were you born?
“I was born in Limsa Lominsa, on the sixteenth sun of the Third Umbral Moon, in 1551 of the last era. “

3.Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations,personalities, etc.)
“My parents?  Well my father was Edmwnd Colyer.  He was a carpenter in Limsa Loninsa., he and my mother had their own small furniture store. It was mainly smaller things, all made in house of course. He was a bit stern, but never unreasonably so.  He sadly passed away about eleven cycles ago.My mother, Teressa, well she ran the actual store, handling all the customers since my father was in the back. She is a calm and understandable women, kind of has to be considering her current situation.”

4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?
“Yes, I had an older brother,Pyrce. He was the most rambunctious between us two. And he did cause a bit of a stir when he decided to become a deckhand on one of the ships, instead of apprenticing with my father. He eventually got bored of that and trained to be a gladiator and bounced around until he met Lilwen who he married.  She was a calming force on him, and I mean force. She was not as relaxed as my mother, and well he needed that push.”  Tomas pauses as he waits for the elderly woman asking the questions to finish writing. “No, my brother died early in the fighting with the Empire, and Lilwen she and my niece Caitlyn is with my mother in Limsa Lomina. Caitlyn is uh…” He quietly clears his throat. “… eight now. There are moments where she makes me wish that I had a child of my own and then usually quickly reminds me of why I am glad I don’t. ”

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.
“I live in Gridania now, moved here about seven cycles ago. Currently live alone.”

6.What is your occupation?
“I am a carpenter. Yes, I ended up apprenticing with my father. Eh, it was not what dream of but I enjoy it. The store? We just could not afford to keep it going, so after going through the process with that I got a job with the Carpentry Guild here. Outside of that, I recently started training with the local Lancer guild.“

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.
Tomas looks down, sizing up his body.”I guess I would say I am a little bit above average height; I haven’t measured myself since I was a little kid. I am in good shape, not as big as some of these adventures, but my work keeps me at a decent level.  I keep my hair short, out of my eyes and away from the ears, and that is about it.” Tomas unconsciously pats the back of his head. “As long as I have hair that is all I really care… The only other important feature would be this scar.” He said as he traced the scar that ran diagonally down his left cheek.      

8.To which social class do you belong?
“I don’t… I mean my social life is pretty light at the moment, so I really don’t know how the answer that.”

9.Do you have any allergies,diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
“No allergies and not sick right now… though I do generally catch something fierce at least once every winter. Other than that I just can’t seem to be able to run longer than a few malms without needed to stop or at least slowing to a walk. “


10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Tomas holds up his right hand. “Right handed”


11. What does your voice sound like?
“Uh” He stops, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, as he attempts to think of an answer. “Normal for a Hyur?” He finally answers with a shrug after a few minutes.


12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
“Another one.” He mutters with ahead shake. “I never really paid that much attention, sorry.”

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Tomas calls out the contents of each pocket as he gives them a light tap, before stopping to pull out a small slip of paper. “A ruler, few gil, and… a list it seems.”

14. Do you have any quirks,strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
“Hmmm” Tomas clears his throat again as he thinks. “I tend to be reserved in social gatherings. Once I get to know people, and with professional dealings I am ok, but on a social level I tend to get nervous. ”

Part 2: Growing Up15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

Part 3: Past Influences

!00 Question Survey
1.What is your full name?

Tch~ What's your deal? I already told you my friggin' name's Judeau, Judeau Thunderclout.

2.Where and when were you born?

Born on the 13th sun of the 4th Umbral moon in 1557 or something like that. In Ul'dah

3.Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)

My father Arun was a pretty well known smith. From what I remember about the old man, he was a hard working bastard. Definitely the kind of folk who didn't take a liking to those who laze around asking questions all day such as yourself. 

My mother Chrysalia was a tenacious, proud and fair woman with light green eyes that seemed oft to peer into one's soul. She was far more menacing than my father (which is actually saying something *shivers*) She handled our household's finances. Apparently she came from some high-born family or something. She had to live in exile for hitching with my old man. She was always hounding my brother and I to study hard. tch

4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?

My younger brother Gaelin is slightly lighter in skin tone than I am. Always a rather strange one. Hated conflict and was pretty friggin' weak if I remember correctly. The fool decided to follow in our father's stead crafting tools of war even though he despises killing. Last I heard he's a contracted smith somewhere? Can't remember.

My younger sister Jolline is without a doubt my mother's daughter. Cutest little thing you'd have ever seen I tell ya. Definitely picked up my mother's smarts to boot; She's always had the aptitude for manipulating aether. I haven't seen her since my aunt took her away to study when we were young. I've been searching for info on her whereabouts but the old wench has thoroughly covered their tracks.

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.

Tch~ maybe If I get to grow old I'd like to settle down with a nice set of legs and a warm cozy cottage, but I ain't planting roots anytime soon...

6.What is your occupation?

Occupation? Who the hell needs such a thing? My brother and the old man may have been content following boring paths and bolstering down to a single discipline, But I could NEVER do that. What I do is kill, what I enjoy is surviving and I'm pretty damned good at it. 

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.

*Slams hand hard onto table* What kind of wise arse question is that? Don't those things you call eyeballs work? tch', I'm fairly friggin' tall for a midlander and well toned. Dark skin like my father with my mother's green eyes. Scar on my nose and right eye. Jet black hair. Oh these blond streaks? You gotta distinguish yourself from the pack in case someone lops off your head ya know? *laughs*

8.To which social class do you belong?

Bwahaha! social class? Social standing is a pointless practice invented by old fools to stroke their overgrown egos and to further their lofty schemes. My "social" standing is on top of the backs of those who would dare charge against me and my brethren.

9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

It's funny that you mention it, I'm actually allergic to a surplus of questions. My sword hand gets itchy and my bloodlust quickens... *laughs heartily* Settle down gramps I'm only kidding!

10. Are you right- or left-handed?

Either or suits me just fine. 

11. What does your voice sound like?

You can't be going def already! ahhhhhhh geez. well umm.. To me I sound the way that I should...Yeah that's what I said! I don't know if I can explain it..

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

*thinks intently* hmmmm well ever since I was a pup I've always clicked my tongue and made a "TCH" sound when I was annoyed. Some companions also claim I say "friggin'" quite a lot. 

13. What do you have in your pockets?

Surviving.

32. What is your greatest regret?

Independent Gridania Forever! our government works pretty well, even with the hocus pocus of the seedseers.

44. What are your views on sex?
Should be done responsibly. I came from a family broken by death, despite the best efforts of my parents. I can't imagine someone indulging in their own lust to doom their child to a broken home willfully. That's not love, to the child or the partner.

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Don't know yet. My first mission in the field I was taken prisoner, though I certainly tried to skewer that centurion!

Imprison and torture another human being in the name of scientific advancement. Kind of like what the Garleans are doing to me right now.

Politely and with respect, so long as they are deserving. Generally I mete to others what I would that they would to me. 

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Right now me, myself, and I are about the only 'people' in my life, so I guess me. Just trying to survive. After that, Doer is the only friend I've really got, but I don't see him much. There was one girl back in Gridania, but...

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
The good men and women of the Alliance enduring this hell alongside me. Heroes, every one of them.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?
See 62 and link above.

The Garlean empire at large. Ruined my life.

Neither, I just win.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?

Get outta dodge, bro! You gotta get home to Gridania!

Part 1: The BasicsPart 1: The Basics
1.What is your full name? Connal Fearon
2.Where and when were you born? In Ul’dah 16th day of the 6th Umbral Moon 1553
3.Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.) Victor and Tina Fearon, Victor was a soldier and Tina was a housewife and ran her own food shop in Ul’dah
4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like? He has a younger Brother, James. He is growing up so fast but still has many years to go. He was 11 when Connal’s Father was killed. He still doesn’t understand fully what happened, but now at the age of 16 he is slowly starting to realize this world is a lot more dangerous than he imagined.
5.Where do you live now, and with whom? Connal actually lives at his own place, though small and danky. He helps support his family through odd jobs and and re-building the area around him.
6.What is your occupation? I guess you could say a hired hand, he goes around town getting paid for building or lifting or well, anything he can do.
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. Because of how long he has worked to help rebuild or assist others in construction, Connal is in very good shape, with a lot of stamina. He stands around average height for a Midlander (around 5’8 - 5’10) He decided to stay with shorter hair because he didn’t want it to get in the way and to add “style” as the other younger women would say he highlighted most of it with red streaks. He has matching Tattoo’s on his side to remind him of what was lost during the great war.
8.To which social class do you belong? Connal is by no means a wealthy man, but his family is doing just fine on their own terms. His mother’s stand has become very popular and when James is not helping with that , they are usually studying. James seems to be particullary fond of Aetherflows and Magic while Connal tends to be more interested in weapons and fighting than actual studies.
9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Connal is quite in shape, and physical weaknesses are a thing in the past. He used to fall quite a bit and always injure himself; he’s had a few broken bones but nothing major.
10. Are you right- or left-handed? He is left handed actually, a rarity.
11. What does your voice sound like?  I would have to say it would be like Troy Baker, but not as deep.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? “Done and Done!”
13. What do you have in your pockets? Some Gil, lint, and some small tools.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I would probably the biggest standing is that when he is talking, he tends to be a bit louder than normal. This is caused because of how loud it can be around him, and he tends to be a little hot headed when people discuss his past or insult his family. There is also the fact that he can sometimes be in a depressed state; if someone happens to mention Bahamut or his father.

Part 2: Growing UpPart 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general? With his family of course, well...as much as his family was around. He usually took care of himself when he was old enough to think for himself. His dad was constantly away so he never really saw his father as much as he could because his dad was in the military. Part of the growing up process was really done just on his own. He had to learn how to be a man and support himself and his family at a young age.
16. What is your earliest memory? His earliest memory is his dad leaving for an extended period of time. While it is fuzzy he knows it was for work.
17. How much schooling have you had? Besides my normal studies, that is about it. He isn’t really someone for the genius side BUT he has street smarts and is just intuitive about things around him.
18. Did you enjoy school? It was normal, he did not mind it but he did not succeed or make a whole lot of friends.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? On his own actually, he is more of a “Well there’s only one way to find out” kind of guy.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them. Yes, his father. But, he was never around and he only saw him as his father wanted him too, a hero.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? Everything was fine, even growing with James (although there were plenty of rough housing times, there still are. James thinks he can take Connal, boy is he wrong) was fine. Though the family has struggled a bit financially since Bahamut, they are making do.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? He actually wanted to be a soldier like his Father, part of the Immortal Flames. Though he never got the chance to do that.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? Connal was always busy helping his family, so he never really had a lot of time to develop fun activities. He would usually play with the other kids and help his mom with the stand in Ul’dah. Now that James is old enough to help her, Connal no longer needs to tie himself to that stand and he can freely run around. Though visiting isn’t out of the question.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? He was quiet to my parents because I did not want to speak out of line but he was very friendly with others.
25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like? Kind of, he has friends who he grew up with, and they remain close. A few went and joined the military during the war and were killed by Bahamut. He only has a few now that he really connects with and understands.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss? It was when he was a little kid, friends of the family had brought over their daughter to play with him and she ended up kissing him on the cheek.
27. Are you a virgin?  If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? Yup. He’s been so busy with his family he hasn’t time to really go out and find someone.
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. No he is just a normal Male.

Part 3: Past InfluencesPart 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Hearing that my father was killed by Bahamut. Connal didn’t speak to anyone for a few months, while his mother was grieving he ran the stand, well with what there was left. Everything was pretty much destroyed, we were hiding in a safe location when he struck. Connal has not been able to actually properly grieve because he knew he had to be strong for what would come.
30. Who has had the most influence on you? Connal’s friends and Mother. He never really had that much of a father figure growing up, since his dad was always gone. He has learned to be a respectful man to people and especially women, because he knows what kind of wrath they can impart on someone.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?  So far, finishing schooling and being in shape. He doesn’t really care to show off or gloat.
32. What is your greatest regret? Not saying goodbye to his father, they got in an argument before he left and never said goodbye.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? He’s not really evil, while he torments his younger brother James, that’s really about it.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Nope, he keeps his nose clean because if his father found out he wouldn’t hesitate to bust him down and lock him up himself.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened? During the attack from Bahamut.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? He would say that he doesn’t have one, but he does. He ended up making a bet with some other kids when he was little that he couldn’t run down the street naked. Ah well, boys will be boys and he actually went through with the bet...the only problem is that his friends didn’t follow through and they didn’t chase after him. He had to talk back home naked...it wasn’t an enjoyable experience.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? It would have to be the last night he saw his dad. He would have wanted to say goodbye instead of yelling at him for leaving again.
38. What is your best memory? Whenever his family was together, and laughing..there isn’t much laughing now.
39. What is your worst memory? Soon after he found out about his Father, he tried to run to the battlefield where he was to find him. He ended getting caught in a blast that was above him and demolished a building where some of it fell around him. He was trapped all night until some of the townsfolk were able to rescue him. While he remained unscaved, the memories are still there.

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? He is normally quiet around new people, he likes to observe and see how they act. If there are any red flags, he tends to not be around them for very long. If it is someone he knows or someone he has known for awhile he will be talkative or just listen, depending on what is going on. He wants to help his friends, and if he has to listen he is okay with that.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover? He wants someone who has the same passion as him to help people. Though, he would rather have someone who can make him laugh and comfort him when he has a bad day. She has to be cute, confident, a sense of humor, and someone who can make him smile.
60. How close are you to your family? Close. Family is everything.
61. Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  No, Why or why not? He hasn’t met the right woman yet, he honestly thinks he never will.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? My family for one...and that’s about it.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? He doesn’t hate anyone oddly enough, a lot of people like his small family because they know the sacrifice his father made.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Not at all.

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)?  Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public?  (If so, detail both sets of reasons…) Connal feels it is time for him to find out what happened to his father, granted he knows that he is dead but he wants to know how it happened, etc. He also feels he needs a change of pace, his life has become stale.

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?  (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…) I would sit him down, and tell him this: “You need to focus on yourself for a little bit, helping people is great but when you can’t even help yourself or you end up drinking all the time is not going to help you get over what happened. I know it’s bad but look what you have done in 5 years, you don’t see it but you have helped countless people. DO what you want TO DO, not because you can...but because you want to.”

The Basics1.What is your full name?
Fystrael Abylstyrwyn aka Swyrswys

2.Where and when were you born?
In a village on a rock northish of La Noscea; 13th Sun, 4th Umbral Moon, 17 years ago.

3.Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Pa - Greinfyst is how I knew him.  He was always at sea.  I kinda suspect he was a pirate with occasional fishing.

Ma 1 - Wyznwyb, the ma that birthed me.  She's a botanist, midwife and healer in our village.  She's nice but has no tact.

Ma 2 - Merlgeim, Pa's second woman.  She's a sailmaker and fisherwoman and has punches like cannon blows.  She's banned from using knives but no-one wants to tell me why.

Ma 3 - Styrblyss, Pa's third woman.  She's a whore with ice in her veins - I mean that with respect!  If my ma's the healer, she's the undertaker.  She likes to weave and read and has really nimble fingers.

Ma 4 - Bloesrael, Pa's last woman.  She's great at cooking and talks 25 words for 1.  Runs the town tavern.  She's always got a big long stick behind the bar for rowdies and she knows how to use it!

4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?
I have too many damn siblings!  Love them but ye Althyk, I needed the space.

Twin brothers, Sthalzwyn and Saelbzwyn.  Not really twins but Pa amazingly got my Ma and Styrblyss to give birth the same day!  If ever I thought me Mas didn't know about Pa's other lives, the boys' names tell me that's a bloody lie.
Sthalzwyn is my brother, Saelbzwyn is my half-brother.  Sthal is apprenticing with the local smith and Saelb is learning healing from my Ma.

Syhrrael is one of my sisters.  She's short, cocky and always in my business.  She's annoyingly fast and kicks really hard. I'm praying Merlgeim doesn't start teaching her before I get through marauder training or she'll be able to kick me arse right solid!

Blanrael is my other sister.  She and Ma almost died when she was being born; she was stuck sideways.  I barely got her out 'fore she ripped Ma open.  People say she's a little touched 'cause she says she talks to ghosts, but Styrblyss helps her a lot.

Awyrhund is my youngest brother.  He was born a little after that damn moon...  Whatever.  Ma was really mad at Pa for not being there, but she loves the li'l skrat.

Ourarael is Bloesrael's daughter.  She's got a great voice - sings the birds out the trees.  She's already a good cook like her Ma too.

Swynborg is Merlgeim's son.  He's even bigger than me, damn him!  Hitting him's like hitting a sea wall, so I thank the Twelve he doesn't have a temper!

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.
I'm camping out in La Noscea, near Moraby Bay.  It's beautiful and quiet.  Finally!

No-one lives with me, but occasionally other adventurers and I will share camp.

6.What is your occupation?
Marauder?  Well at least  I'm learning axe-craft 'fore I start working on ship-building.

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.
I'm 7 fulms, give or take an ilm.  My skin's kinda minty-green if my sisters can be trusted.  I'm obviously a Roegadyn of Sea Wolf descent, if that helps you.

My eyes are brown, though one's darker than the other since I fell out a tree as a skrat.  My hair's black, something my Pa passed to all his children.  I like putting a touch of blue paint on it.

I've got a mole near my left eye and two big scars on my face; one over my forehead and nose bridge, one on my left jaw.  Damn tree.

I like pants and loose shirts, but I'm not really picky once it's not a skirt.

8.To which social class do you belong?
What's social class?  I'm just me.  If you mean "how much money do I have?" then I guess I'm a peasant.

9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
My eyes're not the best some days.  Glare really annoys me, so I tend to wear eye black a lot.

10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Right-handed.

11. What does your voice sound like?
Kinda deep and husky, I guess.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
...By the Twelve?  More likely to cock my eyebrows at you.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Lessee, a bun, some fishing line, couple hooks, some worms and bugs for bait, fish-gutting knife, me nice large kerchief.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I...I'm not sure.  I guess the fact that I don't talk a lot?

Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Normal?  Not much different from everyone else up to about 10 when that moon started looming over everything.

16. What is your earliest memory?
Me Ma put me in a tub in the lake while she was washing clothes.  I spent all day using her shirts as sails and pretending to be at sea.

17. How much schooling have you had?
Well, there was a little village school to make sure we could read and write and add.  Ma and Styrblyss now run it, so the village children are probably learning more than I did.

18. Did you enjoy school?
It was a'right, but I probably spent more time looking out the window at the sea and the sky.  I liked geography, though.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
I took up the axe 'cause Ma had the belly when Pa went with the armies to watch that moon fall.  I got my strength splitting wood and hauling things for the family.

Since I met Merlgeim, she's taught me a bit of weaponless fighting more refined than my usual brawling.

Styrblss taught me weaving so I could feel less clumsy and make me own sails instead of stealing the bedclothes.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.
...Pa was my role-model.  He'd come back after months at sea smelling of salt and fish, his big axe on his back...  I thought the world of him.  I thought he was gonna come back with the armies...

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Heh.  Syhrrael and I were either fighting or finding new ways to kill ourselves.  I kinda baby the others though, so they call me Swyrswys.

A sailor, always!

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Climbing into trees, fighting, running, fishing, reading maps, boat-building, exploring...

25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?
There were like, 20 of us kids in the village off of 6 families 'fore me other Mas came.  I may not have been popular, but I was one of the oldest and biggest.  Only had two bigger'n me, and those boys hated m'ever-stinking guts.  I was better than them in every way.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Ha!  That was with those boys I told you about, right when that moon was falling.  We were watching it come down, the whole village, and they said they didn't want to die as little boys.  So, I kissed them both.

And I hated it both times. Felt like I was eating a live octopus fighting the whole way down. Never going to do that again if'n I can help it.

27. Are you a virgin?  If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
I've never ridden the blowhole and I don't intend to either.

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.
Werewolf?  Vampire?  What the cod-swallow are those?

No magic in me bones.  That's for Saelbzwyn and Blanrael and Ourarael.  I just fight and protect with me axe like I did since Pa left for good.

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
The day that we had a memorial for Pa and I ended up with 3 more mothers and 3 more siblings.

Probably Syhrrael.  She's made me far more competitive and she's always pushing me to stop thinking about them and think about meself.

The day I got Blanrael out of Ma and they both lived.  Also, the day I made my first skiff.

32. What is your greatest regret?
... I had a fight with my Pa before he went off.  I'll leave it there.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
Local constable knows I knick food but he never wrote me up on it!

Probably the same as most, when that gobshite red moon broke apart.  The rocks pounded the island goodly hard.

I was wearing a skirt and fell out of a tree.  Felt like everyone saw me small-clothes.

The day Ma came home - this was a year after the moon fell - and told us that Pa was never found.

Beliefs And Opinions

Honestly? Failing me Pa.  He told me to live by being true to me, but not forgetting those as made me.

The Twelve is the Twelve, and Althyk is the highest of the Twelve.  I've heard a lot about what he did at the end... Plus, he carries an axe!

43. What are your political views?
I don't care too much about that stuff, I just know I don't like Garleans.  Whichever city as lets me sail free is a'right with me.

44. What are your views on sex?
Good for those as like it.  I like to get an eyeful of the men, don't get me wrong, but I'm not keen on doing the deed.

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
...Yes.  I can kill.  If it's me or my family at threat, I won't tell you I won't kill.  Not sure that I can kill for money so easy.

Trying to wipe out the whole world comes to mind.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I hate Garleans.  And the White Raven.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?
Have sex.  I'm responsible to a fault, so the day I have a skrat is the day I hang up my axe.  No sex is the only sure way to avoid child-bearing and being chained down.

Me four Mas, me sisters and me brothers.

Smoking hurts me eyes and I've never tried drugs. Not sure I ever will.  Anything that let's me guard down 'bout sex is not welcome.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Well, used to be me and Syhrrael would put on our nicest britches and clean shirts, then head down by Bloesrael's place.  We'd get a few fights going with the lads, sing songs, dance a few jigs, drink a pint of watered ale then head home.

If others tell you you're wrong on something, don't blindly agree, but don't ignore them either.

And your Pa was never mad about the fight.  He just left 'cause he wanted to do whatever he could to save you and his family.

Ask the girl some questions?
1.What is your full name?
"S'janna Rahz."

2.Where and when were you born?
"I'm not entirely sure where. My little tribe was pretty nomadic... for all I know, it could have been right here!"

3.Who are/were your parents?
"My mother is S'lanihn Vahri. We're not too close- for all that she ran off with a tia with delusions of grandeur, she's a pretty staunch traditionalist. My father was Rahz. I assume he was one of the nunhs of my mother's old tribe. I never had the chance to meet him, though, since S'khori Tia-and no, I won't call him nunh, he doesn't deserve it- convinced my mother and a few other women to run off with him while she was still carrying me. Funny how things work sometimes, isn't it?"

4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?
"I have an older sister who I love dearly, and two younger brothers who aren't nearly as awful as their father is. My sister's a skilled herbalist who's managed to keep our little tribe healthy through some pretty awful times, both with her herbs and her kind words for everyone. I wish I could be a bit more like her. She's also a wonderful mother to three adorable children. My two brothers are pretty young, but they were pretty well-behaved for the most part- except when they were in the same room as each other."

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.
"It's a tiny little room in Linsa Lominsa, and it smells like the docks. Still, it's mine,
and that's got to be worth something, right? I share it with the most adorable little boy, S'anjha. S'anjha Tia, I suppose he should be, but if I have my say he'll never have to worry about that stuff."

6.What is your occupation?
"Little bit of everything, I guess. Work isn't always easy to come by, so I take what I can get. Mostly I do little 'mystic' things for people- read clouds, talk to spirits, and so on. A lot of it is bunk, or at least really
opento interpretation, but it makes people feel better, so... well, I'm not my sister, but like I said before, I do wish I could be more like her. Between that, and what little healing magic I know, well... I do what I can."

7.Writea 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.
"I'm...hmm, well, about average height for a Miqo'te female, I suppose. I guess I'm a bit on the thin side- food's a bit scarce at times. I've got the same dark skin and pale blond hair as my mother and sister have. I guess if I had a few more proper meals I'd look quite a bit like them, especially my sister. My eyes, though, they're all my father's- dark blue, like the ocean. Which is funny, since I doubt he's ever seen
theocean. I wear, well, about what you'd expect from someone with my income- whatever I can get ahold of. Coarse linen frocks, and so on, though I still have my clothes from the tribe. I never wear them, though."

8.Towhich social class do you belong?
"Figuredthat'd be obvious by now. About as low as you can get without being on the streets. And even that's a near thing when things are particularly lean."

9.Doyou have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"I'm
allergic to my old tribe.

...thatwas a joke, lighten up a bit, yeah? I've never run into anything I'm allergic to, and I've never really been seriously sick. The usual childhood ailments, sure, but nothing, like persistent. I'm probably not the most physical Seeker of the Sun out there, but I don't think that really could be called a weakness exactly."

10.Are you right- or left-handed?
"Left-handed."

11.What does your voice sound like?
"Idon't know? I mean, I never really listen to myself talk. Normal, I guess? I mean, it's not like I took an arrow to the throat and can only growl and grumble or something."

12.What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Well,there's 'May S'khori Tia die in a fire,' but I suppose that's not really what you meant?"

13.What do you have in your pockets?
"Let'ssee... a couple gil, a few lures- so I can maybe try my luck fishing from the docks later- and a needle and some thread. I'd promised Farina I'd come try to mend her son's shirt later."

14.Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
-laughs-"Well, apaprently my most annoying habit is that I often have a crying child with me. I've also been told I have a penchant for losing track of time if I start looking out over the ocean. I can't help it... there's so much water!"

Part
2: Growing Up
15.How would you describe your childhood in general?
"Awful.

Well,no, I suppose that's a lie. Or at least me looking at it from where I stand now. It wasn't really that bad. There wasn't much to our little tribe so we all had to work that much harder to survive. There were a lot of children just a cycle or two younger than me, so I ended up with some playmates I could boss around, which was nice."

16.What is your earliest memory?
"Hm.I don't know if it's even a real memory or just something I made up, but one time when my mother had brought me out gathering with her- she used to do that a lot when I was little, since there wasn't really anyone else to look after me- I thought I saw a zuu flying way overhead. I tried to point it out to my mother, but she didn't see it. I still don't know if it was really there, to be honest."

17.How much schooling have you had?
"None.Well, nothing formal. Most of what I know I just picked up along the way. I can read now, though! That's something nice. Might not be necessary in my line of, uh, work, but it's something I'm proud of anyhow."

18.
Did you enjoy school?
"Well,I heard that it can be fun, but I've never actually met anyone with a formal education, so I couldn't say for sure. I've certainly never gone, so..."

19.Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"Sameway as everything else, really. Just picked it up as I went. Apparently that's kind of unusual, especially for the magic stuff, but I've always been a little bit, well, sensitive to that stuff. I did learn a lot about how to hunt and gather while I was with the tribe, but there's not much call to use those skills in a city. I suppose I could always venture out and put that stuff to use, but Anjha is still so little..."

20.While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.
"S'khoritaught me a lot- about how not to act. So did my mother. Don't get me wrong, I still love her, but... well. Enough of that. I know it sounds odd, considering I've never met him, but I like to think my father inspired me. Or at least, what I imagine him to be like."

21.While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"LikeI said before, I never knew my father. My mother and I had a strained relationship. I wasn't really happy with the tribe, nor my expected place in it, and sort of blamed- well, blame,since I still do- her for that. I was really close with my sister, though, and we spent a lot of time together, especially when she became a mother and I was helping her with her kids. I think I learned more from her than I ever did from our mother. I got along pretty well with my brothers, too, as long as they weren't in the same place as each other. I hated it when they fought though."

22.As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"I...don't really know. I suppose I was always too busy to really daydream like that. I can't say I imagined I'd be where I am now, though, that's for sure."

23.As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"WhenI was younger, the whole tribe used to gather four times a cycle to give thanks to the Twelve for protecting us. It was the closest thing to a festival or party or whatever we would have, and I always loved it. We'd stopped doing that a few years before I left, though."

24.As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"Honestly?I was a bit of a brat. I argued with my mother quite often, and was a bit more spiritual than most of the rest of the tribe, so that set me apart too. I was also a bit bossy, since I was the oldest by almost a cycle of all the children close to my age."

25.As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Ilike to think I had a lot of friends, but that was mainly because there was a whole big group of us right in the same age, and I sort of took charge as the oldest. I was close with only a couple of them though."

26.
When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Iwon't share his name. It's the one thing of him I have left, and I'm jealously keeping it to myself. He was a boy in my tribe who I was very close with. I was twelve at the time. He was a tia and it caused a lot of problems."

27.Are you a virgin?  If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"You'reawfully persistent with the personal questions, aren't you? I suppose I didn't say outright, but Anjha is my son, so... no. S'khori is his father. It's a very long story that I don't want to go into."

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.
"Iguess you could call me a mage, sort of. I don't know that that's really unusual though. I guess not a lot of Seekers pursue the magical arts though."

Part
3: Past Influences
29.What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"That'sa hard question to answer. There were so many pivotal things that happened in a short period of time, and all of them important, for good or ill. To be honest, the most important one happened while my mother was still carrying me, when she made the decision to follow an idiot tia who wanted to make his own tribe, all so he could be nunh."

30.Who has had the most influence on you?
"Anotherhard one to answer. There are so many people who have had strong influences on me, some good, some ill. Much as I hate to say it, for the sake of honesty, I'd have to say it was S'khori. I learned a lot of things from him, but the most important one was courage. Remember the boy I mentioned before, the tia who I'd kissed? He's the other one who influenced me a lot, but I didn't realize it until it was too late."

31.What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Givingbirth to Anjha. Yes, I know, countless mothers have given birth before me, and countless more will after, but it's still the greatest moment of my life. It was also a very difficult birth. The midwife wasn't sure I'd make it."

32.What is your greatest regret?
"Listeningto my mother. Yes, I do mean that. I should have done as she did, rather than as she said, as the saying goes. It's a choice that will haunt me for the rest of my days."

33.What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"Ignoringmy best friend. It sounds silly, but... if I had listened to him, he'd still be alive today, and while I might still be in a dingy, tiny little bedroom near the docks, I think my life would be so much better for it. And far more importantly, I wouldn't have lost my best friend."

34.Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"No,not that I know of. Er, this is confidential, right? Right. Because I know I've pilfered a few small things here and there, but I don't really feel bad about that. We all do what we have to do to survive, right?"

35.
When was the time you were the most frightened?
"WhenS'khori killed my best friend. He... he had this look
inhis eyes, this horrible, evil look, and I just knew what was going to happen, and I was powerless to stop it."

36.What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I...I don't want to answer this. I'm sorry, I know I promised I'd answer all your questions, but... this one... this one I can't."

37.If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"Iwould have listened to my friend instead of my mother, like I said before. He wanted me to run away from the tribe with him, but I was afraid to. Maybe it was because I saw how well that had worked out for my mother and the others, or maybe I was just being a coward. But if I had just done it..."

38.
What is your best memory?
-shesmiles fondly- "That first kiss. I knew it could get us into trouble, but I didn't care.I just felt so free, so daring. Whatever else might have come of it, I don't regret that in the slightest."

39.What is your worst memory?
"Youalready asked this one, and I said no. It's the same as the embarrassing one, and I will not share it."

Part4: Beliefs And Opinions
40.Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"Doyou have children? Whenever I see Anjha's little face, I can't help but to smile, no matter how hard things are. He gives me hope."

41.What is your greatest fear?
"Thatsomehow, someway, I'll be forced to return to the tribe. To S'khori. I'd die first."

42.
What are your religious views?
"Irevere the Twelve, as do most, no?"

43.What are your political views?
"Idon't really think about politics too much. I don't have the time or the energy to waste on that stuff, but I suppose if I had a say in the matter, I'd get rid of the tia and nunh nonsense. It causes nothing but grief and heartache."

44.What are your views on sex?
"That'spretty personal, don't you think? Still, I guess there's little harm in telling. I don't plan on sharing a bed with anyone, at least, um, casually. And I don't know that I'm capable of falling in love with anyone enough to be intimate with them. And since I have no plans of joining my old tribe- or joining a different one- well, you have your answer, I suppose."

45.Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"Animals,yes, I have before and would be able to again. I did spend some of my later childhood as a hunter, after all. I've never killed a person before, and honestly I don't know if I could. Even one I really, really hated..."

46.In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"...next
question."

47.Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"Partof me wants to. But if it's true, then... I foolishly missed my chance. So part of me desperately wants to believe there's no such thing as soul mates and such. Maybe true love, but... I don't know. I really don't know."

48.What do you believe makes a successful life?
"If,when my time comes, I can look back and see more happiness than regrets, I'll have led a successful life. Whatever turns it might have taken."

49.How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"Well,I guess it depends on who I'm speaking to, and what about. There's some things I don't care to talk about- obviously. And there's some things I'm quite happy to discuss. Of course, if I lose my temper, well... let's just say there's no secrets, then."

50.Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"Ithink everyone likes to tell themselves 'no, I'm not biased in any way,' but that's a load of chocobo dung. We all have our little prejudices, don't we? Honestly, I'm quite apt to think ill of anyone who calls himself a nunh, and likely to be a bit more kindly disposed to any fellow Seekers who've sought their own path away from their tribes. I also don't much like hyur men. They stare too much."

51.Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?
"Iwant to say yes, but I know there's nothing I won't do for my son, even if it's something awful."

52.Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Youpretty much just asked me this, didn't you? Anjha, of course."

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?
"Idon't let people get too close, but I always try to be nice, at least. I try to act in a way that, if I were to ever see my sister again, she could be proud of me. So even though I might not like people getting too close to me, I still try to be nice to them."

54.Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Anjha,of course. He's the sun of my life. See what I did there? Sorry, I know that was awful."

55.Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Consideringwhat I've said before, this will sound odd." -she takes a deep breath- "My mother. There, I've said it. Why? Because much as I really wish she hadn't, she had the guts to make a controversial decision and stick by it. I wish I'd had that courage when it counted."

56.Who are your friends?  Do you have a best friend?  Describe these people.
"You'redoing this on purpose, aren't you? My best friend is dead, and I have not- will
not- replace him. I don't really have anyone I can truly call friend here, either, and I left everyone in my tribe behind nearly a cycle ago now."

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.
"Twelvegrant me patience with these questions. I was. Or I thought I was. I was young, and confused, but maybe. And S'khori killed him. And that's more answer than I want to give, to be honest."

59.What do you look for in a potential lover?
"Someonewho would love my son as his own. Someone who would love me unconditionally. And someone who would stay by me for the duration. I am not interested in a 'fling.' And likely will not find anyone willing or able to meet those standards anyhow."

60.How close are you to your family?
"I'venot spoken to any of them since I left home. I like to think I was close with my sister, though. I miss her greatly. And my brothers, too, I suppose. And I wish, before I'd left, I'd been able to... to sort out how I feel about my mother."

61.Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  Why or why not?
"Ofa sort. I have little Anjha, of course. But no husband or mate, and likely none in the future. But I can be happy with my Anjha."

62.Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"I...I don't know. I've never really thought about it. I... guess I ought to. I mean, who can say when some sort of emergency might come about. And me, with nowhere to turn."

63.Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?
"The
twelve. They are all I have, all I can rely on."

64.If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Selfishly,I hope my family misses me, since I'm already 'missing' to them, but truly I hope they understood and were not too badly hurt by my choice. Anjha would miss me, of course."

65.Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"Incase it wasn't obvious, S'khori. I have good reason to."

66.Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"Idon't like conflict, or arguing, but I can have a short temper sometimes."

67.Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"Iused to be quite bossy. Now, I try to fade into the background. I'm not terribly social these days."

68.Do you like interacting with large groups of people?  Why or why not?
"No,I really don't. I can't explain why. It just... doesn't appeal to me any longer."

69.
Do you care what others think of you?
"Asidefrom my son, who's too young to have any sort of opinion, not particularly."

Part6: Likes And Dislikes
70.What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I'ma single mother of a small baby. What are hobbies and pastimes?"

71.What is your most treasured possession?
"Ihave a small momento from my sister, that I will keep with me always. It's just a length of dyed, knotted cord, but it's important to me anyway."

72.What is your favorite color?
"Blue,
like the ocean."

73.What is your favorite food?
"There'sa breed of desert wolf back home that made for excellent eating, if you could get it. They were often in packs so it was quite challenging, but spiced right it was a great meal- and many more meals to come, too! What, did you think I'd say fish? I'm a desert girl, I'm afraid."

74.What, if anything, do you like to read?
"Learningto read was my second proudest achievement, right after having my Anjha. I'll read any and every book you put in front of me gladly."

75.What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"Dancing.I used to love to dance, in happier times. I try not to brag too much, but I was probably the best dancer of my tribe."

76.Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs?  If so, why?  Do you want to quit?
"No,and I don't plan to. There's some days that are nearly enough to drive me to it, though."

77.How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"...huh?"

78.What makes you laugh?
"Anjha,sometimes. He can do the silliest things! Just the other day, he managed to get himself tangled up in my blanket while I was cooking. He just gave me this confused look, as though to say, 'Mom, how did this happen?!' I laughed for a solid minute as I tried to get him out."

79.What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"Anyonespeaking ill, directly or indirectly, of my son. Beyond that, I really couldn't care less as long as it doesn't affect me."

80.What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"Probablyknit something, or cook, or play with Anjha if he was awake. Something productive, though, most likely."

81.
How do you deal with stress?
-shegrimaces- "Not well."

82.Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"Plan...plan... I've heard this word before. What does it mean?

...thatwas a joke. But, yeah, no plans here. I just... do."

83.
What are your pet peeves?
"Peoplebeing loud late at night, when Anjha is asleep. Unfortunately, I don't have control over that."

Part7: Self Images And Etc.
84.Describe the routine of a normal day for you.  How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"Idon't really have a routine. Well, in the vaguest sense, I suppose I do. I get up, feed Anjha, and go look for work. I do the work, look for more, and so on, until it gets late, then I bring Anjhe home and we go to sleep. He wakes me up once or twice during the night, and I cuddle him or feed him or whatever it is he wants, then we go back to sleep until the next day starts."

85.What is your greatest strength as a person?
"Iguess... that I'm a survivor? I've been through some hard times... I'm livingthrough some hard times, and I keep going."

86.What is your greatest weakness?
"I...I guess I'm a bit of a coward. I had the chance to be brave and I blew it. And now I want nothing more than to live my life in peace, raising my son. I like to think that if I had the opportunity to take a risk to make things better for him, I might take it, but... I'm afraid of what might happen."

87.If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"Ionly get one thing I can change?"

88.Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Introverted,
I'd likely say."

89.Are you generally organized or messy?
"Itry to be as organized as I can. Of course, I own little, so that makes it easier."

90.Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"Hm,let me see. I suppose I'm a fair hand at sewing. I'm a fair dancer, too, even compared to the professionals, though I don't know any formal steps or anything. I like to think I'm a pretty good mother, if that counts. I'm quite awful at singing. I mean, I suppose my voice is okay, but I just can't, you know, get the notes right. It always comes out sounding wrong. I'm not much of a warrior either. Well, I mean, I know a few spells, but like give me a sword or something? I'm hopeless. I guess I'd do okay with a bow though. And one more... heh. I know. The last thing I'm very bad at is making smart decisions."

91.
Do you like yourself?
"Well,I try to. I mean, I don't hate myself or anything, but I do have more regrets than I feel I ought."

92.What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)?  Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public?  (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)
"Idon't really see myself as an adventurer. I just do what I need to in order to get by. If that means getting rid of someone's rat infestation or something, well... so be it."

93.What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"Ifeel like I'm repeating myself an awful lot, but I just want to raise Anjha properly. Be a good mother, you know?"

94.Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"Hopefullysomeplace nicer than here. Not sure yet how I'll manage that,
though."


95.If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"Quietly,in my bed, surrounded by loved ones and friends, with my son and his children and their children all there to see me off."

96.If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"Findsomeone to look after my son, tell him I love him, and take one last look at the ocean."

97.What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"Ihaven't the slightest clue."

98.What three words best describe your personality?
"Kind,dedicated, and diligent. I hope that doesn't sound too arrogant."

99.What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Aloof,certainly. Hopefully hard-working, too. And... stubborn? Yeah, probably stubborn."

100.If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?  (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
(No
matter what, never give up hope!)

*((From wiki))

Towering over other races at 7'3", Bloodwillow looks like your typical Sea Wolf clan Roegadyn.  Well built with nice curves, she holds herself with a down to earth demeanor.

Black hair feathers out around her face and rests on her shoulders loosely, blood red highlights streaking in clumps of strands.  Small shells and metal bands could be seen and heard tinkling as she moves her head, a gift from days past.

Her face is young and barely scarred, except one upon her chin.  A tone of blue skin contrasts the blood red vertical paint on the right side of her face, a cold, silver colored eye boring out from within.  Her left eye is red in color, some saying because of all the bloodshed she saw in her youth.

Her attire ranges from light armor with plates sewn in to entire suits of heavy plate armor..  A large axe can be found strapped securely to her back, or hefted in a relaxed fashion over her right shoulder.  She is not into materialistic things, so her jewelry and trinkets about her are sparse, except for one ring on her left middle finger.

"Our aetherial soul is a unique thing, one that can ultimately be passed on to another depending on the circumstances... through a technicality we can therefore have 'soul mates', though I suspect you refer to love.  If it is indeed in reference to love, I suspect people believe in that illusion, even if I do not adhere to it."
