An interesting way to get into your character's head. I've been having some trouble hammering out the finer details of his personality, so this helped immensely. The answers are IC, given as though in an interview. Warning for some mild language.

SpoilerPart 1: The Basics
1.What is your full name?
"Montague ________. Most... um, most folks call me Monty." (Last name is subject to change.)
2.Where and when were you born?
"Somewhere near Limsa Lominsa, about twenty-nine years ago or so."
3.Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"I... um... I don't know."
4.Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"Not in a technical sense, no. I stuck up for some of the other orphans, but... -shakes his head- No."
5.Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"Don't really live anywhere, as such. I've been traveling with a merchant caravan, helping out with the repairs after the Calamity. It's not bad - good work, good people. You meet a lot of interesting folk, wandering around. Thinking of settling down, though."
6.What is your occupation?
"Carpenter, at the moment. Used to work for the Maelstrom, but I lost my stomach for that kind of thing after Carteneau. Might be changing in the future, though... Something on the wind."
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... um... tall? I'm Elezen, though, so that's not much to be proud of. Kind of, erm, gangly, I suppose. Uh... Longish dirty blonde hair- usually keep it pulled back, out of the way. My eyes are blue; um, well, they were. Went blind in my left, so it's blue and white now, I guess. Dress... um... practical? No tattoos, but I've got a few scars... Small cut on my cheek, a hole in my shoulder, nasty one on my leg - almost cut it off when I was a kid, logging incident. That's pretty much it, I think."
8.To which social class do you belong?
"-laughs- No class, I suppose."
9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Been told I look kind of sickly, but I think it's because I don't sleep much... Uh... Does being half-blind count?"
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
"Right."

"Suppose I say suppose a fair bit, you know?"
13. What do you have in your pockets?
"Uh... Hang on, just... um... Twenty... three gil, a knife, and... come on you - Ow! Ah, Twelve, splinter, sonuva-"
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"S'pose you've noticed I tend to trail off a bit. I'm.. uh... not really used to talking to people. Takes me a moment to get the words right. I grew up around some pretty diverse folk, so my accent's kind of all over the place. Get lost in thought pretty easy, and someone once told me I hum when I'm thinking... Erm, I chew on grass stalks sometimes? Other than that, -shrugs-."
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
"Pretty normal, I guess. I'm an orphan, so I started working pretty early. Kind of boring, for the most part."
16. What is your earliest memory?
"That's... huh... Never really thought of that. Um... probably the matron at the orphanage, reading us to sleep. Gods be, that was forever ago."
17. How much schooling have you had?
"Nothing formal. I can read and write, do some basic arithmatic, but that's about it."
18. Did you enjoy school?
"Never went, but... Don't think I'd have enjoyed it."
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"Not as such, no."
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"Never got on great with the other orphans, but they didn't hate me either. The matrons were always kind, but then they have to be, don't they?"
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"Eh... Never really knew. Still don't, bein' honest. I've just kind of... lived, you know?"
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Never really had much time for fun back then."
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"The other loggers used to say I was too quiet. I'm, uh, kind of bland, really."
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Heh... we'll leave it 'no,' yes?"
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Um... wow, hah. Haven't thought of that in awhile, um... Let's just say alcohol was involved and I ain't too proud of it, alright?"

"-blushes and clears his throat- Moving on."
28. Describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"I don't... Um, don't want to be morbid, but Carteneau. Definitely. Nothing's the same, no one."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"Uh... Nobody, I guess? My, but saying that aloud makes it sad..."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Really, the work I've been doing now. Helping people rebuild their homes, reclaim their lives. It's something I'll always look back on with pride."
32. What is your greatest regret?
"I've... hah, I've got a few. Not going to bore you, suffice to say I've burned my share of bridges."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"I'd... um... I'd rather not talk about this anymore, if that's okay."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"A bit, uh... It involves that whole 'first kiss' incident and we'll leave it at that."
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
"I still see Dalamud cracking open in my nightmares. That great, bloody dragon..."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"Is this not going to stop coming up? -sighs- Okay. I was sixteen, the logging company I worked for was closing and I was signing on with the Maelstrom the next day. I wasn't... wasn't friends with the others, not really, but we knew eachother. They decided to get me drunk to... you know, celebrate my ascension into manhood or something asinine like that. Over the course of the evening it was discovered that I had yet to... ahem... partake of the finer things in life. The others saw fit to remedy that.
"It did not end well."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"That's... hmm... I don't think I would, really. I've got my regrets, but nothing... uh... worthy of being rewritten, I suppose."
38. What is your best memory?
"We were rebuilding a homestead out in Thanalan, just a few little houses. The owners... I've never seen people so happy to be alive, to be returning to the life they'd built for themselves. Lady of the house even made us dinner every night we worked. Something as simple as cutting some boards, slapping a frame together... It made their lives better. I loved that."
39. What is your worst memory?
"The whole Calamity thing is hard to top, but... um... It was a little before that, actually. During the battle itself. I got shot by one of those Garlean gun-things. Not something I'd like to experience twice."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"Most would probably call me a pessimist, I suppose, but... hmm... I guess I like to think I'm more a realist."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"Um... Death, I suppose?"
42. What are your religious views?
"I've seen enough to know that somethin's out there. The old Archon's spell kind of proves that, don'tcha think?"
43. What are your political views?
"I try and stay out of it. Leave that stuff for someone with a head for it, you know?"
44. What are your views on sex?
"Again with this topic... Um, I believe it is a private matter and best left that way."
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"I've taken men's lives before. It's... it's not something I enjoy doing, but what must be what be. They got their side of the line, I got mine, and that's that."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"I've seen... I've seen bad things done, by good men and evil. Us people... we're capable of things that'd make the Voidsent green with envy. Don't think I could call any one thing worse than the other, but... um... Children. No one should ever hurt children."
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"Soul mates stretches credibility a bit -chuckles-, but true love? Eh, sure, why not?"
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Leaving something behind, something... meaningful. You could have all the riches in the world, but what good's that gonna do you dead? I'd rather know my life was lived doing something good, helping people."
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 don't... hide, as such, but I don't really like talking about certain things. I don't got much to be private about, but what I do is mine."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"No use for 'em, really. Nobody's any better or any worse than anybody else just by skin or state. It's what you do that makes you."
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I don't drink anymore. Bad experiences with it... Um... Would never harm a kid. The rest is all circumstantial, I s'pose."
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Erm, I'm not really the most passionate of people. Ain't much out there worth dying for, plenty worth killing for, and I've never been that close to anybody... I fought with my comrades, defended 'em with my life, but... I never went into a fight looking to die, you know?"
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 tend to keep distant, but I don't believe in bein' rude. I've never really, uh, never been real close to anybody, so I don't know if I'd treat anyone any different."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Don't really got no one like that."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"I guess... huh... I guess that old Archon. Whatever he did, it put a stop to the Calamity, and probably saved my life."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"Here you go, makin' me feel like a loser again -laughs-."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"Not me, no."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I... um... Yeah."
60. How close are you to your family?
"Don't got one, weren't you listening earlier?"
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"I guess... I guess it'd be nice, somewhere down the line. Haven't thought much about it."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"-shrugs- My shadow, I suppose."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"I trust the men I work with to a point, just like I trusted my comrades in the Maelstrom. Always keep that one eye open, though. Never know what's goin' on in a man's head."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"-smiles sadly- Not a one."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"Wouldn't say I despise anybody, really... It's, uh, it's too much work, you know? Hating people. Saps your energy... Um... The White Raven would be a good candidate, though, if I did. World's a better place without that mad bastard in it."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I keep my opinions to myself, mostly, but that doesn't mean I'll let someone walk over me."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"I tend to avoid social situations, let alone leadin' 'em."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"Not really. Crowds make me nervous."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"Not particularly, no."

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?

73. What is your favorite food?

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
"Heh, um... -blushes faintly- I like the old stories, you know? Heroes and dragons and whatnot. Legends."
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"Music's fine, if the mood's right... Never had much of an eye for art. Saw a troupe of dancers, once, when we stopped off in Ul'dah for supplies. That was... interesting."
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"Don't drink, or any of that. Guess I chew on grass, but that's not much of a drug. Nights are rough, since Carteneau. Helps me relax."
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Alone with my thoughts, mostly."
78. What makes you laugh?
"Um... Funny things? I don't know."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"Nothin' I can think of off hand."

81. How do you deal with stress?
"Think through it, mostly. Chew things when I'm nervous."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"Neither, really. I'm more... uh... reactionary, I guess? I tend to just go with it, roll with the punches as they come."
83. What are your pet peeves?
"Don't really have any, I don't think."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"Uh... Hopefully wake up, eat, work, take a break, work some more, eat again, try to sleep, repeat. Doesn't bother me much if it changes, suppose I just change with it."
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
"I don't... I don't think I'm particularly strong."
86. What is your greatest weakness?
"Probably that I'm so... so alone. Strength in numbers, you know?"
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"I guess... I guess I'd try to be more open? More comfortable, around people."
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Hah. Introverted. Definitely."
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
"Um, bit of both? Might be a bit messy, but it's my mess, you know? I know where and what it all is."
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"Huh. It's funny, 'cause I don't like talking about myself much, but... Here I've been answerin' all your questions. I'm handy with an axe, I guess, though my depth perception's been shot to hell. I'm... Twelve, why is it so hard to think of good qualities? Um... I'm reliable, I think? Keep my word, and... uh... Honest? Bad's easier, unfortunately. I'm kind of shy, as you probably noticed... Easily distracted, too, and probably too quiet."
91. Do you like yourself?
"-grins- Not really."
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 joined the Maelstrom 'cause it was just... easy. They needed men, I needed work. Adventurin', though? ... I don't know. Been restless of late. Maybe that's what I should be doing? Rebuilding's almost done, and besides hammering things together only thing I'm decent at is fighting..."
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"Don't know."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"-chuckles- Dead, probably."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"Any way that don't involve getting shot would be preferable. No fire, either... Drowning, maybe? Seems kinda peaceful."
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"Uh... huh. Give my things away, I suppose. Tell somebody a story. Maybe get drunk one last time."
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"The good things I've done."
98. What three words best describe your personality?
"Um... Damned, but you ask difficult questions. Uh... Quiet... Reserved... Alone."
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Probably 'who is that?' -laughs-"

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 tend to keep distant, but I don't believe in bein' rude. I've never really, uh, never been real close to anybody, so I don't know if I'd treat anyone any different."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Don't really got no one like that."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"I guess... huh... I guess that old Archon. Whatever he did, it put a stop to the Calamity, and probably saved my life."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"Here you go, makin' me feel like a loser again -laughs-."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"Not as such. Wouldn't say no if somebody came along, though."
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"Not me, no."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I... um... Yeah."
60. How close are you to your family?
"Don't got one, weren't you listening earlier?"
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"I guess... I guess it'd be nice, somewhere down the line. Haven't thought much about it."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"-shrugs- My shadow, I suppose."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"I trust the men I work with to a point, just like I trusted my comrades in the Maelstrom. Always keep that one eye open, though. Never know what's goin' on in a man's head."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"-smiles sadly- Not a one."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"Wouldn't say I despise anybody, really... It's, uh, it's too much work, you know? Hating people. Saps your energy... Um... The White Raven would be a good candidate, though, if I did. World's a better place without that mad bastard in it."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I keep my opinions to myself, mostly, but that doesn't mean I'll let someone walk over me."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"I tend to avoid social situations, let alone leadin' 'em."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"Not really. Crowds make me nervous."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"Not particularly, no."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I like to find someplace quiet to sit and think."
71. What is your most treasured possession?

72. What is your favorite color?
"Um... blue?"
73. What is your favorite food?
"Eh. Food's food."
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
"Heh, um... -blushes faintly- I like the old stories, you know? Heroes and dragons and whatnot. Legends."
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"Music's fine, if the mood's right... Never had much of an eye for art. Saw a troupe of dancers, once, when we stopped off in Ul'dah for supplies. That was... interesting."
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"Don't drink, or any of that. Guess I chew on grass, but that's not much of a drug. Nights are rough, since Carteneau. Helps me relax."
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Alone with my thoughts, mostly."
78. What makes you laugh?
"Um... Funny things? I don't know."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"Nothin' I can think of off hand."

81. How do you deal with stress?
"Think through it, mostly. Chew things when I'm nervous."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?

"Don't really have any, I don't think."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"Uh... Hopefully wake up, eat, work, take a break, work some more, eat again, try to sleep, repeat. Doesn't bother me much if it changes, suppose I just change with it."
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
"I don't... I don't think I'm particularly strong."
86. What is your greatest weakness?
"Probably that I'm so... so alone. Strength in numbers, you know?"
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"I guess... I guess I'd try to be more open? More comfortable, around people."
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Hah. Introverted. Definitely."
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
"Um, bit of both? Might be a bit messy, but it's my mess, you know? I know where and what it all is."
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"Huh. It's funny, 'cause I don't like talking about myself much, but... Here I've been answerin' all your questions. I'm handy with an axe, I guess, though my depth perception's been shot to hell. I'm... Twelve, why is it so hard to think of good qualities? Um... I'm reliable, I think? Keep my word, and... uh... Honest? Bad's easier, unfortunately. I'm kind of shy, as you probably noticed... Easily distracted, too, and probably too quiet."
91. Do you like yourself?
"-grins- Not really."
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 joined the Maelstrom 'cause it was just... easy. They needed men, I needed work. Adventurin', though? ... I don't know. Been restless of late. Maybe that's what I should be doing? Rebuilding's almost done, and besides hammering things together only thing I'm decent at is fighting..."
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"Don't know."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"-chuckles- Dead, probably."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"Any way that don't involve getting shot would be preferable. No fire, either... Drowning, maybe? Seems kinda peaceful."
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"Uh... huh. Give my things away, I suppose. Tell somebody a story. Maybe get drunk one last time."
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"The good things I've done."
98. What three words best describe your personality?
"Um... Damned, but you ask difficult questions. Uh... Quiet... Reserved... Alone."
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Probably 'who is that?' -laughs-"
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…)
(You can't hide forever, Monty.)
