RE: 100 Questions to Ask About Your Role-Playing Character - Amiabelle - 07-23-2013

This was an excellent, although very difficult, exercise!  Thank you, Vash, for starting this thread.  I now have a much better picture in my mind as to who my first XIV character is, even though I'm still not settled on her name.  For the time being, her name will be Amiabelle For-Now.

I tried to be deliberately vague on some details because I wasn't sure how much I could disclose.  NPC names, places, events, that sort of thing.  And, in some cases, I'm still somewhat hazy on lore: what events transpired when, who knows what, who was where and how they were affected.

I hope I haven't gone overboard.  I assume there are things I've gotten wrong.  If you happen to catch some inconsistencies, let me know.  Please be gentle with me -- it's my first time.

The tall, elegant woman smiled and stood up from her desk as Amiabelle For-Now entered the office. She seemed genuinely delighted to see the young Hyur woman.

"Come in, Ami.  Please, have a seat." Amiabelle nodded as she took the seat on the other side of the desk.  The older woman sat back down.

"You're not nervous, are you?  You know this is just a formality, dear.  Before inducting new Adventurers into the Guild, we're required to conduct this little interview.  You completed your trials -- quite spectacularly, I might add.  You've had some time to get to know us and what we do.  This is our opportunity to learn a little more about you."

Amiabelle smiled.  She still looked nervous. "I understand."

The older woman chuckled and reassured the younger one.  "You'll be just fine, dear.  Just answer honestly and let that bubbly personality of yours come on through.  Now, shall we get started?"  She pulled a thick book and quill from a desk drawer.

Amiabelle took a deep breath, settled into her seat and nodded.  "Let's."

The older woman closed the book.  She looked up at Amiabelle and smiled.

"And with that, we're done.  I think we can call it a day. Thank you."

"So, did I pass?  Am I part of the Guild now?"

The older woman pushed herself away from the desk and stood up.  Gathering up the book and holding it close, she began to make her way to the door.  She paused, turned toward Amiabelle and nodded.  She may have even given a fleeting wink.

"Just meet me back at the front desk, dear."

((I went for my darker character first, just at random. So bear that in mind while reading.))

An almost black-skinned Roegadyn steps into the room, wearing only a pair of tattered trunks and some sandals. He casts his eyes around the dark room a moment and then sits gingerly in the chair that seems to have been designed for the smaller Hyur.

"I'm here," he states in his quiet rumble, propping his elbows on the edge of the table as he leans forward, peering into the dark at the featureless figure cast in shadows. "I don't know your game. But let's begin."

Zirn raises one eyebrow at the man who had spoken nothing but questions this entire time, sitting in silence for a moment, before finally letting loose a low chuckle. “That's your opinion of me after all that? Maybe I just wasn't clear.” He beckons with a finger. “Come over here so I can see what I can do to change that opinion of yours.”

Having outlived his welcome, the man in the shadows decides to instead flip the table and dart off into the darkness. In his attempt to jump up and follow, Zirn suddenly finds himself on the floor after the abused chair finally gives up and collapses beneath him, followed shortly by the flipped table that pins him to the floor.

“Oy! You bastard!” Zirn roars, trying to extricate himself from beneath the table. “Get back here. Get... when I find you, I'm going to pummel your ass!”

Megiddo is a tall, thin, and practically ancient Duskwight that one would encounter in the Black Shroud. He would wander into the tavern, take a good look around, and find someone sitting alone to share a table with and strike up conversation. He may also try and stick that person with his bill, since he doesn't have any money.

I would have posted earlier, but this took me three days to do, on and off. I can't get the spoiler tags to work--the first spoiler is 1-15 and the second is 16-100.)

((Aaand my other character. The good guy this time.))

The diminutive Lalafell looks up at the weary traveler, leaning on a spear as if it is a walking stick. The Hyur, a Midlander by the look of him, had arrived early this morning and indicated, through gestures and a single spoken word, that he would like to rent one of the landlady's apartments. The potential renter nodded along to all the guidelines she would be enforcing and proved that he could handle the initial deposit.

The landlady then hands over a questionnaire. “I usually just ask the questions, but here I'm thinking that might be difficult for you. Just fill that out so I can get an idea of you, and decide if you're a good match, yeah?”

The man stares at her for a moment before lightly shrugging his shoulders, accepting both the sheets of paper and a quill, before taking a seat in the lobby to get to work.

As Deitrych stares at the woman in silence, she holds her head as if suddenly dizzy, putting her other against the wall for balance. After regaining her composure, she gives a wane smile to the man waiting on her. “Whoo, sorry about that. Everything looks to be in order, sir. If you would like to make the deposit, I'll get you your key. Right this way...”

A small bottle lays in the dirt near the gently flowing river. Even from a distance you can tell that there is a stack of rolled up papers inside. The bottle is half buried in the dirt, but the half that is visible shines and glints with the sun, as if teasing you and enticing you to open it and read the contents within. Will you open and read what's inside? Or will you leave the bottle in the dirt, to be forgotten?
