... This thing was a beast. "Oh, 100 questions? Pff, easy." Nope. NOPE.

 


 

"Oh, an interview? Of...of me? Truly? I mean—sure, yes, of course! Is it...sh-should I sit down? ...I should? All right..."

 

He took a seat at the table, glancing about with a bit of nervousness in his brow. Very occasionally, his right hand would twitch in his lap. Smiling to muster up confidence, his bright turquoise eyes looked back.

 

"Right. So. What is it..that you would like to ask me?"

 

1. What is your full name?

"Ah...Locke Rinannis."

 

2. Where and when were you born?

"I was born in a village named Oakbarrow, 25 cycles ago. It's...northeast of Gridania, towards the Xelphatol region."

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

"My father is—er, was...Graeme Rinannis. He was a fisher by trade. A just, fair man who I greatly admired. My mother, Lillian Rinannis, was a seamstress before a sickness took the coordination of her hands many cycles ago. I don't recall ever seeing her depressed, even after."

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

"I have one... An older brother. Auric. I'm sorry, I would rather not speak of him more than I must, if that's all right..."

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

"I live in a cottage in the Goblet. By myself... Oh. Unless you, uh, count my mammet, Olli."

6. What is your occupation?

"I am a self-employed mechanic. I repair things: chronometers, necklaces, magitek, mammets, items of that nature. Eventually I would like to...learn more about airship mechanics, but getting an apprenticeship at Highwind Skyways is harder than you might think."

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.

"Hah, nothing special. I'm just a Hyur. Uh, blond hair, blue-green eyes, fair skin... I think I'm pretty average as far as weight and height for a Midlander? A few small scars on my hands from work, but...that's, ah, that's it.

 

...Oh! I just wear...normal things, I guess. Tunics and slacks, I don't really think about it much. I've started wearing this turban to hide my haircut that the ladies at the Weaver's Guild gave me. Just until it grows out again..."

8. To which social class do you belong?

"When I first reached Ul'dah, I was...well, at the bottom. But not the very bottom, mind. I had a small job at the Coliseum that was just enough to afford a room at the Quicksand. But ah, then I started getting interested in repairing mammets for them, which led to an apprenticeship at the Goldsmith's Guild, and then I got picked up by the Free Wing Society...and it's all gone up from there. Now I have my own business, my own house, and I also help run the Society in the Black Shroud. So I think I'm...more fortunate than most."

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

"Ah... W-well, I'm weak to aether. It can make me very ill if there's too much around me."

10. Are you right- or left-handed?

"I'm right-handed."

11. What does your voice sound like?

"I've been told that I'm soft-spoken. I don't raise my voice all that often, now that I think of it."

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

"Ah, let me think... I suppose I do tend to say 'sir' to men and 'miss' to women, just out of habit. Perhaps others would be 'truly' and 'I'm sorry'? Hm..."

13. What do you have in your pockets?

"Here are...a few linkpearls, an apple candy, and this...vial.

 

... What's in it? Just ah, something for my condition. The aetheric weakness I mentioned earlier."

 

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

"My right arm has an embarrassing twitch sometimes. And those who know me are quite aware that I'm, erm...what did she call it? A wallflower? [chuckles] I suppose I do spend a lot of time in the background of things. And I've become very aware that I'm gullible and a little naive. ... I'm just an idealist, I suppose."

 

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

"It was good. Hard at times, but good. My mother was inflicted with her illness when I turned...7, so I had to spend a lot of time at home to take care of her while my father and brother worked the rivers. Romi stayed with me and kept me company, and we spent many days reading and making our own small adventures."

16. What is your earliest memory?

"I remember going into the main room of our cottage and watching my mother sew. She would make the most beautiful, colorful quilts I've ever seen. Her face was so kind, and she ruffled my hair, kissed my forehead, and told me to go play outside."

17. How much schooling have you had?

"Not much, I'm afraid, aside from what Romi would teach me through her books. I never had an opportunity to go to school, and we couldn't afford private tutors. I did learn to read, and write, and some basic mathematics."

18. Did you enjoy school?

"I enjoyed learning, even if I didn't go to a school. Romi's books were filled with stories about the world. Geography, science, magic...I took in as much as I could, though I doubt I remember most of it by now."

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

"My skills with daggers were taught when I became a little older, around 13 cycles, I think. Oakbarrow...wasn't a safe place. It was plagued by voidsent attacks from a nearby rift, and I had to quickly learn to defend my home. When not taking care of my mother, I would scout with Romi or others and help fend off any attacks. As for my current skills as a mechanic, I've learned most of them since arriving in Ul'dah and participating in various apprenticeships. As well as tinkering on the side."

20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.

"The closest role model I had was my father. He was a hard worker, understanding, kind... I've always wanted to show respect and be respectable, like he was."

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

"My father was as good as he could be, though, ah, we are not all without faults. Still, there was no conflict between us. My mother, though she could do little on her own, was always grateful and kind to me. My brother, however... He was never content with the life we had, and we'd often ram heads...until the day he left, to pursue his own goals. I believe it was 4 cycles ago that he walked away."

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

"[laughs] When I was very young, I wanted to be a pirate. You can blame Romi's books for that. But truly, I didn't know what I wanted to be. All I knew is that I wanted to help my family...somehow."

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?

"Reading, playing pretend with Romi... Even back then, I used to tinker with little things and try to come up with new inventions that never worked. Perhaps that's where I first discovered my interest in mechanics."

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

"Romi says I was gullible. Ah, no, very gullible. I'd believe just about anything she told me. ...I'm not sure much has changed... Mm, anyroad, I think I was a good child. Or I tried to be. I wanted to help."

25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?

"There were a few children my age in Oakbarrow. I knew them very well when I was small, but when I had to start staying at home, I grew distant from them. I'd see them on occasion while running an errand, but it wasn't until we started fighting voidsent together that I spent any real time with them. So, ah, no...I suppose I wasn't any form of popular until a bit later in my life. There was Romi, of course, as quirky then as she is now. And then there was Elia, Nicholas, Ben...Payaja, Rosa... Sh-shall we move on to the next question?"

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?

"Oh. Um...w-well, my first kiss was with Rosa, the baker's daughter. It was nothing, really, we were both 15 and innocently curious. She pecked me on the lips when I wasn't paying attention."

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

"I...ah...was. Until a few moons ago, with my...now-fiancée."

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.

"My life now was based on necessity and circumstance. Maybe even some fate. I never planned to be a mechanic or to run a business, it simply unfolded in front of me as opportunities arose. I'm grateful to those who have approached me, they have been the biggest factors on my life."

 

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

"Leaving home. It's, uh...not the happiest event, but it's truly the most important. My whole world changed the moment I left.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?

"Probably Romi, due to the length of time we've known each other. She can be quite infectious."

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

"Starting my own business in Ul'dah. It was the boldest thing I've ever done."

32. What is your greatest regret?

"That I never made amends with my brother."

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

"Ah... I don't know. That's a difficult question for me to answer, truly."

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

"N-no, absolutely not. And I'm doing my best to keep it that way."

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

"Oh... On the night my parents passed away."

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

"I get flustered quite easily... I'm not sure if I can think of one that is more embarrassing than all others."

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

"To be more aware of what had happened in Oakbarrow. If only I had been more careful, I could have prevented it. I...I had no way of knowing..."

38. What is your best memory?

"Perhaps because it's fresh on my mind...but my best memory is when I took Lili to the Burning Wall and...asked her to become my wife. I never thought I would do something like that, and it was made all the better...by her agreeing."

39. What is your worst memory?

"I believe that would also by the same as the time I was most frightened."

 

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

"I try to be optimistic. Eorzea is dark enough as it is. Garleans, Primals, angry elementals, the Void... If I can bring a little hope to an otherwise dangerous world, I shall."

 

41. What is your greatest fear?

"Simply that my condition will...get the better of me."

42. What are your religious views?

"I worship the Twelve, though I feel more akin to Azeyma than all others."

43. What are your political views?

"Ah... I'm from a small town, where the biggest political game was who would be mayor that year. The complex matters of the city-states are...far beyond my thoughts."

44. What are your views on sex?

"It's uh... Still rather new to me how casual it seems to be, at least in Ul'dah. I'm of the mind that it is...well, it is a sharing of vulnerabilities with someone that you trust and love, to be done in private... But I understand if others do not share my views, and I will not judge them for it."

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

"Monsters and voidsent, yes. Other people... Hm... If you had asked me that a few moons ago, I would have adamantly said 'no'. But recent events have shown me that perhaps I've...been too naive. If I must choose between the lives of those I love and the lives of those trying to harm them, I will choose to protect the ones I love. Every time."

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

"That depends... Physically? To purposely murder an innocent.  But overall...nothing to me is more evil than betraying someone who loves and trusts you."

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?

"I'm afraid you're asking this to a man currently inflicted with lovesickness. [chuckles] But in truth, I believe everything happens for a reason, even with the falling ins and outs of love. However... I also believe that love is a choice. A promise. Not something dictated by the whims of fate."

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?

"Being at peace with yourself and those around you. Having people that care for you, and caring for them in return. The rest will fall into place, if you are motivated in your goals."

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 ah... I try to be as true as I can. But there are some things I do not wish to be known for."

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

"I don't believe so? I guess if I'm biased, it'd be toward the poor. I suppose I favor those whose hardships I've shared, though that's not a bad thing, is it? But as far as race or religion, no, absolutely not."

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?

"Anything in the interest of the Void or those who serve it. I will not see further suffering for its benefit."

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

"Those that I love. They mean more to me than anything I possess, even my own life."

 

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've kept my distance for a long time... Politely, of course, I just...haven't let myself get too close. I've made a few friends though, and it's good to know that there are people I can be comfortable around. I'm not sure if my treatment changes, except that they make me feel a bit more confident."

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?

"Lili, my fiancée, has slowly shown me that I don't have to hide. And though I struggle and stammer, she has been there for me with gentle words and encouragments. I love her dearly, and there is no one more important than she."

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?

"Lili undoubtedly has my utmost respect and admiration...but Romi is highly esteemed in my eyes as well. There's never been a time where I could not depend on either of them, and I'm very grateful for that."

56. Who are your friends?  Do you have a best friend?  Describe these people.

"Romi has been my life-long best friend, and I whole-heartedly respect her. She is a strange little Lalafell...but once you learn her quirks, you'll find that she's...very dependable. There is also Lili, although...I sincerely sure hope she would be my best friend, seeing as we're to be wed. Aside from those two, there are a few others... Ah, though, I admit that I am bad at keeping in touch with them..."

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other?  If so, describe this person.

"Ah, yes, I'm engaged to Lilithium Altair. She's...the love of my life. I never knew how incomplete I was without her... Generous, compassionate, vivacious, understanding: I could speak for hours of her positive qualities, but I shall spare you of my sappy gushing."

58. Have you ever been in love?  If so, describe what happened.

"I don't believe my adolescent relationship with Rosa was love, though I do remember being fond of her. Ah...so...my first and only love has been for Lili. She pursued me, fought through the walls of politeness and distance I had built around my heart, and showed me that there was someone out there who cared. She has been the best thing to ever happen to me, and she deserves nothing less than my whole devotion."

 

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

"I never intended to find a lover, truly, or to look for one. But I'm fond of people with kind hearts, wisdom, sincerity..."

60. How close are you to your family?

"I was very close, at least to my parents. I hadn't seen or heard from my older brother in quite some time, until...very recently. Ah...so, we aren't close anymore, no..."

 

61. Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  Why or why not?

"Started, no... Not yet anyway, although Lili does have children of her own already. Possibly in the future? ...Maybe... It has been discussed..."

 

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?

"Hmm...I believe I could trust anyone in the Society for help. I trust Lili's judgment when it comes to members, and I've become quite close to many of them myself."

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?

"There are some things I can't be protected against...but I know many in the Society who are very capable of dealing with dangerous situations. I believe I could trust them to protect me, if I needed it..."

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

"O-oh, uh... I'm sure Lili would, and Romi, perhaps Miss Miata... Uh... I'm just quiet and not very distinct, it's unlikely many others would notice..."

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

"I don't despise anyone...even if I should. Ado's kidnapper ought to be hated by me, and yet...I more pity him. How does a mind become so twisted? Is it pleasure? Desperation? Hm... I want justice to be brought on him, and I wish him to stay far away from those I love. I do not despise him...but I would not show him mercy."

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?

"Avoid conflict. I don't like when things escalate..."

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

"Not usually, unless I'm told to do so. I'm perfectly happy being the one who follows."

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?  Why or why not?

"Large groups fascinate me, and they're easier to get lost in... I enjoy watching, but...not interacting with them... They're overwhelming, and I turn into a uh...'wallflower'."

69. Do you care what others think of you?

"In truth, I don't think many think of me at all. At least, I don't expect them it. But do I care? ...Both yes and no. If someone is thinking badly of me, I'd like to work to fix that. But it doesn't drive my personal decisions...though I do seek out input from those I care about..."

 

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

"Lately I've been far too busy for hobbies, what with my business, the Society, and spending time with my loved ones. I used to do quite a bit of reading, but now I spend most of my free time researching magitek and tinkering with inventions."

71. What is your most treasured possession?

"I...have little from my hometown. Just some clothes, and a large blue blanket... Is that a strange treasured possession? A blanket? Everything else I own is fairly new...but I've had that blanket all my life."

72. What is your favorite color?

"I'm quite fond of blue, but green and brown are also nice."

73. What is your favorite food?

"Romi makes the best fish stew...though I think it's because of the nostalgia that it's my favorite."

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?

"Oh, many things! Histories, biographies, fiction, whatever I happened to be researching at the time..."

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?

"Hmm... Good food and conversation with good friends. And someplace scenic."

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs?  If so, why?  Do you want to quit?

"Ah, no...  I don't do any of those things. I've had a taste of alcohol now and then, but I like to keep my mind clear..."

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?

"Oh... Hmm, sometimes I like to go out and try to find someplace new. Ul'dah is busy city, full of interesting places, and there's also much of the Black Shroud I haven't seen yet."

78. What makes you laugh?

"Hmm, a good-natured joke, silliness, nervousness..."

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?

"I like to think that I don't get offended easily. Or I try not to, anyway. Unexpected things are shocking, but I can't think of anything specific."

 

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?

"Oh, I'd likely do what I always do when I can't sleep: start up the fireplace, put on some tea, get a good book, and read until dawn or until I fall sleep."

81. How do you deal with stress?

"Mm, I withdraw, unfortunately. Not from the cause of the stress, but from others. I've always preferred to deal with my problems alone, though I'm learning that isn't how it has to be..."

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?

"I always like to have a plan, but if spontaneous things happen along the way, I'm all right with that!"

83. What are your pet peeves?

"People who show disrespect to others. There's rarely a reason to be catty, aside from a poor attitude."

 

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you.  How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?

"Mm, wake up, make tea and breakfast, set up my schedule for the day, get to work, take a break with some lunch and free time, do more work, make deliveries and pick-ups, work... ... I do work quite a bit, now that I think of it... But my routine is fairly lenient, and I often find myself away from my business to do other things."

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?

"U-uh... M-my uh... Hm... Work ethic? Ah..."

86. What is your greatest weakness?

"... Passivity. There are times when I should take charge and do more, but...I don't know why, but I choose to do nothing... I just stand there and let things happen, and then I regret..."

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

"Er, physically? My aetheric condition, without a doubt. Emotionally? Just...I'd like to be bolder, I suppose..."

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?

"Introverted."

89. Are you generally organized or messy?

"I try to take good care of and be orderly with what I have...though sometimes I lose track of things..."

 

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.

"Oh no. [chuckles] Let's see... Good things? Uh... Repairing mammets, tracking voidsent, and fighting with daggers...or so it says on the member listing at the Society, if I recall correctly...

 

Bad things? Mm... Botany, I'm terrible at that... You'd think I'd be decent at it, considering I lived in a forest all my life, but alas. Also, I'm very bad at all forms of magic, and apparently I'm not a very good jeweler, either..."

91. Do you like yourself?

"...Ah...well, sure? I-I mean, yes! Yes..."

 

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 like to be helpful. I like knowing that I'm...doing good in the world. Things may not always be black and white, but if I can make things even a little better, that's enough for me."

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?

"I hadn't thought that far ahead until very recently. I'd just like to find a cure for my condition, settle down with Lili, grow our businesses...raise a family... Ah, I-I suppose that's nothing grandiose, but that's all I want."

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

"... I'm not sure. Things don't always...go as planned. But if I had my way, I'd be living in the Mist with my lovely wife and children, sailing in our airship to far off places and coming back to two booming businesses!"

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?

"Old age. [chuckles] I'd like a long and healthy life."

 

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.

"Erm, this is all getting rather dark... I guess I'd...give all my profits to the Society, reminisce with friends and family, and then spend the remaining hours with my love..."

 

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?

"That I tried my best to be a good man. That I made at least a few people happy...uh..."

98. What three words best describe your personality?

"[mumbles] Oh, thank the Twelve, no more questions about my death...

 

Ah... Sincere, cooperative, and...uncertain, I suppose."

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?

"Shy, hardworking, insecure... Depends on who you ask, really."

 

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…)

"Don't be so down on yourself, Locke. You might have a lot of ahead of you (and probably mostly hardships), but you've come a long way. And people think about you more than you realize, so don't you dare say that barely anyone notices or cares. Ignore any lies you might hear in your head, and do not let it stop you from being confident. People are depending on you, just like you've always wanted. Overcome this. I know you can."

100 QUESTIONS (I almost lost my soul doing this)

 

 

 

Part 1: The Basics 1.What is your full name? Eligor Abigor

2.Where and when were you born? A massive floating multi sectioned castle-city

3.Who are/were your parents? Father: Still secret Mother: Edilta Abigor, the Abigor(think chief or queen) of Eligor's progenitor people.

4.Do you have any siblings? Sister: Alinor Abigor, Eligor's older sister and current Abigor. Also somewhat psychotic.

5.Where do you live now, and with whom? In the Mists, with his three daughters.

6.What is your occupation? Varied, but best known for work as an assassin and armor maker. Somewhat known as an inventor of sorts(or rather figuring out how old technology works and using it to his advantage).

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. Short, lightweight lalafell with Red hair. He keeps his eyes hidden at all times, dresses himself according to whatever he feels or is doing, has two red brands on his cheeks that look like tattoos(but are actually manifistations of his actual appearance suppressed), and a cracked crystal in his forehead. He also has naturally sharper than normal teeth. That is not to say he has nightmare fuel teeth, only that all of them end at one point or another(Imagine your teeth now, only pointy at the end. All of em)

8.To which social class do you belong? Is rather well paid, but prefers to only live as such when it suits his goals, instead putting his money into work, friends, and his daughters especially, as well as much of his personal research and "inventions".

9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? While dulled, the crystal in his forehead is capable of causing him great pain if struck in one way or another. Large amounts of aether also have the side effect of making him ill, inexplicably appearing as cuts and bleeding.

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

11. What does your voice sound like? Either sweetly feminine or criminally insane depending on how you catch him.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? He is wildly unpredictable at times, earning the suspicion of those around him more often than not. His capacity for ignoring morals and abhorrent actions tend to bother others as well.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? His sister, Crazy Dan, his teacher.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? He got along wonderfully with his sister until the end of Thronefall. He never will meet his father as he died immediately after his birth, and his relationship with his mother is....was....hostile, at best.

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? Nope, that's all I will say there.

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. He was born to a clan of mages, but he still has yet to find out this fact, as he lostis memory. Other than his hereditary traits, he is more or less normal.

Part 3: Past Influences

 

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Too many to list

30. Who has had the most influence on you? His teacher, whom even after losing his memory has persisted in his mind, her teachings burned into his mind and body like melting metal on ice.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Managing to stay alive in his day to day.

32. What is your greatest regret? Not being able to save the family that showed him kindness when he first crashed upon Eorzea, instead being an instrument of their doom.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? Technically speaking, genocide of almost the entirety of his clan, including but not limited to both of his parents.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? It would be safe to assume that's a yes.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened? When he was a child.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? A miqo'te vomiting on him in public while trying to hire her.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? He would always want to save all those he was too weak to protect.

38. What is your best memory? Umm.....get back to you on that. Sounds like something a dying person would answer honestly.

39. What is your worst memory? A memory so horrid he repressed the entire event.

 

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? Somewhere inbetween, but probably more optimistic than he lets on.

41. What is your greatest fear? Himself, unknown to others.

42. What are your religious views? He doesn't care.

43. What are your political views? He finds them necessary but absolutely loathes them, as it runs completely contradictory to his previous teachings of righteousness through overwhelming force and power.

44. What are your views on sex? His views on this are rather shaky. He does not have anything against it at all, he even studied it carefully. But to speak of, he is oblivious to the notion of sex in general. As he has little(remembered) sexual experience, he does not even fully understand when he is aroused, usually thinking it is something akin to anger or hunger.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? He is, and there is no circumstance where he finds it unacceptable, only extremely disagreeable. Due to his philosophies, he views death with a cold indifference unless he is directly emotionally involved, and even then he would not call it wrong.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? For him, it would be lying without a true purpose. He hates how covered in lies the world is, again due to his views.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? This concept is lost on him.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life? Power, unbending and unyielding.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? This varies greatly on whom he would be interacting with, and what he is trying to accomplish at the time. If he is serious however, he keeps people at arms length, but will not lie on his views if asked directly without good reason.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? He is biased towards those he cares about, wanting them to be pleased as much as possible.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? He would never lie without a reason, the same with killing. That is not to say the reasons have to be grand or even excusable, but they have to exist as a minimum.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? Those he cares for, or believes he is responsible for.

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? Varied. If you get to know him then how he treats you personally will become more consistent, but you could fall anywhere on the spectrum truly.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Ruruni Runi. He fell in love with her, but even after sabotaging his relationship with her to keep her at arms length, he has placed her on a pedestal of sorts, wanting her desires to come true while making her believe that he doesn't care one way or the other, his frustration slowly mounting and becoming more apparent as he interacts with her.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? His teacher, she is literally the strongest person or occurrence he believes he has ever seen, a perfect living example of the goal he needs to reach before he can change the world as he pleases.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? He has a lot of friends worthy of mention, but whether or not they actually view him as a friend in return is the true question.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? Nope

58. Have you ever been in love? Yes. One died, the other he pushed away.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Qualities he does not or will not see in himself, as well as honesty. Looks help too.

60. How close are you to your family? Uh.....he is very close to his adopted family, absolutely not so with his biological family.

61. Have you started your own family? Yes. He unintentionally adopted a highlander girl by the name of Pheria. She then took it upon herself to adopt two more daughters for him, an Elezen named Bonslette and a Miqo'te named P'lami.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Depends on what kind of help he needs.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Truly, he does not, but he does employ bodyguards. Most notable among them is Banryu Minamoto.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? His daughters. Pheria searched for him for years after he disappeared, refusing to believe he perished with no trace or carnage in his wake.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? Himself for his spells where he loses control of himself, waking later to the disorienting destruction and rejection of those who were subjected to it.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Depends on the subject matter and those that would be affected.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Sometimes, albeit unintentionally. He prefers to listen, given the chance.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? He is fine with both, but if being personal he prefers smaller groups. In business, he tends to prefer groups.

69. Do you care what others think of you? Very few.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? Singing to himself and making new tools, as well as reading and learning.

71. What is your most treasured possession? A red pair of goggles his teacher wore before him, being told to don them to cover his eyes.

72. What is your favorite color? None

73. What is your favorite food? None, but he is partial to meat.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read? Anything that teaches him anything he does not know, specifically advances in technology.

75. What is your idea of good entertainment? Fighting or observing others.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? He technically smokes, in a sense. But other than that, no.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? wat

78. What makes you laugh? Varied

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you? Meaningless lies, varied.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? Sing or train.

81. How do you deal with stress? Usually getting rid of the cause of said stress.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? Mixed bag here.

83. What are your pet peeves? He cannot stand having opinions imposed on him without his consent, concerning himself.

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? NOPE

85. What is your greatest strength as a person? His mind is certainly the most powerful thing at his disposal, potentially becoming someones worst enemy and anothers greatest asset.

86. What is your greatest weakness? His emotions can literally destroy him, and he has little control of them once he actually begins to acknowledge them.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? He would make himself stronger.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Again, mixed bag here.

89. Are you generally organized or messy? Messy to a legendary degree unless doing an assassination, at which point he becomes disturbingly pinpoint.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. (good)1. Killing. 2. Creating things. 3. Manipulating things. (bad)1. maintaining working relationships. 2. Archery 3. Controlling his anger.

91. Do you like yourself? Yes and no. He fears himself, and despises himself, but accepts himself as well.

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…) He is not an adventurer as he believes they are mostly fools, but he hardly ever has given reason for the things he does beyond he was told to.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? A truly free world where lies are unnecessary.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Still hungering for more power.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die? Topped in battle by one who could kill him after reaching the absolute limit of his potential, if he could ever find it. If not, then he would prefer to die alone, forgotten.

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. Make sure his daughters had all of his money and that they would be as safe as possible.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? Being cute.

98. What three words best describe your personality? Addled brained genius?

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you? Psychotic tiny monster.

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? Dood, stop, take a breath, calm dafuq down, and stop selling yourself so damn short. No pun intended. Also, try depending on people instead of just putting up the illusion of doing so. For a smart guy, youre a dumbass. Finally.....please let me pick you up and twirl you. Please? I'll seriously pay.

Part 1: The Basics

1.What is your full name?

"Hawu Jinjahl, at your service."

2.Where and when were you born?

Honeyed leers narrowed as the miqo'te's plush tiers curled into a deft grin. "North Shroud, probably in some ditch on a rainy day. A smelly place? But it was the seventh Sun of the first Astral Moon, twenty-three years ago."

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

Large eyes roll in their sockets, a dainty hand waving off the question with a sneer. "Unimportant folk. Mother was a lowly huntress, one Yuma Jinjahl, and papa was just a wandering whoreson, Jirha'li...Mother never spoke his clans' name, perhaps I was a foul child to my name?" Many titters.

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

"Two sisters, one brother. Tradition following brats, really....I do not care about them, next question."

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

"I take up residence in various inn rooms, I haven't really considered settling anywhere. I prefer it this way."

6.What is your occupation?

"I do a lot of things, mostly just discussing business and making it easy to facilitate it, and I do study aether and Eorzean history on the side."

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.

Hawu straightens, folding her hands in her lap and looking off to the side in a dismissive manner. "Well, I am sitting right before you...but, if you really are going to pry... I am a non-traditional Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te woman standing at five fulms and one ilm, weighing in at a grand total of one-hundred and six ponzs. I would say I am pretty small, but I've been told I am a very pretty woman despite my personality. My hair is well-kept and just as silky as my tail-which is a bit too long if you ask me-and a rosy-lavender color. My eyes are framed by long lashes and are as gold as freshly minted gil. I obviously have fangs, and my lips are pretty supple...I think. Ah, I have a beauty mark beneath my right eye, and I like to wear lip glosses and soft eye shadows. My clothes are all very well made and expensive, I don't skimp on good fabric and jewelry. I am not afraid to show my skin either, modesty is for fools. I also prefer comfortable clothes, dalmaticas and chausses are great for traveling if you ask me."

8.To which social class do you belong?

"I am very wealthy, but I've earned it myself. I would say I am in the upper class, but then again I don't care about that as long as I have my comforts."

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

"My health is not very good, I have colds often and I do get tired easily, but it isn't anything very serious if you ask me."

10. Are you right- or left-handed?

"Right-handed, but I can write with my left-hand as well, can't do much else with it."

11. What does your voice sound like?

"I've been told it is very smooth and sultry, calm. Soft? Pleasant..maybe?"

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

"I do not think I have any sort of frequent speech patterns...But, I could be wrong."

13. What do you have in your pockets?

"I haven't any pockets, but I do have a pouch of gil somewhere on my person. Where that is, is none of your business."

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

Clearing her throat, the woman huffed a deep sigh before offering another disarming smile. "I close my tail in doors and wander too much. I know I do tend to babble when asked about my scholarly studies and it can be a bit incessant. Mmm, I love gil. I love the smell, I love the sound, the color, I love everything about money and I will do anything within reason for the sake of wealth. I will not speak to any one of my clansmen, if that hasn't been made obvious yet. I often avoid the Shroud and Gridania like it is plagued, but I do go there from time to time, I suppose. I cannot seem to settle anywhere, and I am a bit selfish and vain....and lazy."

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

Sneering. "Vile, pointless and filled with disagreements and yelling...Dirty. Boring."

16. What is your earliest memory?

"Mother skinning a marmot. It was disgusting."

17. How much schooling have you had?

"I taught myself before I ran away, but after I ran I amassed a great amount of knowledge. It was not necessarily school, but life itself and word of mouth. I pride myself on being well learned now because of the folks I have crossed."

18. Did you enjoy school?

"I adore learning, but the way I learned a lot of things was a bit unorthodox. Alas, I will have to say no."

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

"Well, if we are talking arcanima, I learned it from a rather eccentric man from Mealvaan's Gate in Limsa Lominsa, and everything I know about merchant practices and talking, I learned on the road and in Ul'dah. I actually am close with the Vintners in Easter La Noscea, as I used to live and work  up  in Wineport or a bit. I've learned from all sorts of folk really."

20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.

"Well, we all lived relatively close to Gridania, and I would try to go there as often as possible and I always admired the merchants from Ul'dah and I really enjoyed seeing the foreigners and travelers. Though, I never really admired just one person, more like a group of several individuals, but they are not important any longer, I would say."

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

"Horribly. I was an outsider, the Matriarchs only wanted to use me as a baby machine, I think. It was an entirely unpleasant experience...those days."

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

"A merchant. Someone who didn't dwell like a dim-witted animal in a tribe....Anything but that."

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?

"Bathing, brushing my hair, dressing up, talking to individuals outside of the clan and exploring. Traveling to and from Gridania was always my favorite thing to do."

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

"I was quiet, I believe...but I was definitely the different one out of the other children. I hated being dirty as I do still, and I loved to learn whenever I could. I was even shy, believe it or not."

25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?

"Heavens no!" The woman let out a bout of delicate laughter. "I was weak and I could not hunt well, no one in my family liked me very much! The only friend I made as a child was an Ul'dahn Lalafell who took pity upon my situation, and even then it was not a friendship, I am pretty sure they wanted to sell me into slavery."

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?

"I was six and he was eight, and he was a rather silly Elezen boy from Gridania. We went behind the woodworkers' guild and shared a kiss, but we were discovered by a hearer and to endure a crude scolding."

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

The woman snickered to herself, shaking her head with a joyous expression. "Of course not, anyone my age that is a virgin is either stupid, or too ugly to catch a partner nowadays. I lost my virginity just after I came of age, slept with a Hyur and romanced the poor sod to sit in his caravan for free and then dropped him as soon as I emptied his coinpurse, then made my way to La Noscea. ...Lots of things happened, and I cannot say I am very proud of them, but I will admit to having my fun and I still do. I am no loose woman, and I can say that with confidence." A loose woman is a hoe, basically, for those who think it's a dirty joke.

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.

"The overall actions of my family as well as the concept of tradition brought me to where I am today. I am a progressive individual and I will not stand for those who wish to remain in the dark ages as silly little tribesmen and obsessive fanatics for religion and old grudges. The merchants coming through the Jinjahl territory as well as in the merchant stalls in Gridania are what made up my mind."

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

"The day the matriarchs forced me into a room with a Keeper male who I was to have sex with and have his kits I vehemently told him to go fuck himself and quite literally climbed out of a window and ran until I could not any longer. I lost my virginity the same day. In essence, that was the day I lost all of my innocence and threw away my purity, it was the beginning of my life."

30. Who has had the most influence on you?

"The merchant community, powerful men and women in society. I wanted to be like them, and now I am."

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

"Going from sleeping behind the kitchens in Wineport to being a pampered gentlewoman. All of the things in between, really. I clawed my way to where I am now, blood, sweat and tears, and I would do it all again, hardships and all."

32. What is your greatest regret?

"Not spitting on my mother when I left."

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

Another smile blanketed her features, her hooded gaze shimmering with something that didn't quite make sense. "I have done many things, but I wouldn't consider them evil, per se. I survive."

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

"Not that anyone is aware of." Another smile.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

"I ran out of aetheric power to cast when a Seeker man suddenly came upon me." Looking off to the side, the woman seemed to pale more than she already was. "In order to escape being raped, I ...I beat him to death with my grimoire. It was...messy and I hate remembering it. Such things haunt me to this day."

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

"I don't know, actually. Things don't really embarrass me, though I do suppose I feel a bit silly when I close  my tail in doors, I just tend to make fun of any mishaps myself, so it never bothers me all that much."

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

"My birth, I wish I had been born elsewhere, to a different mother and father, preferably rich and wealthy folk, my childhood is the most disappointing thing about myself...to me, anyway."

38. What is your best memory?

"My first trip around La Noscea, such a gorgeous place."

39. What is your worst memory?

"The grimoire mishap."

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

"I am an optimist...but I am not a fool."

41. What is your greatest fear?

"...Well, m-morbols."

42. What are your religious views?

"I do not have any, I think it silly."

43. What are your political views?

"Do as you do. I will always go the way that keeps me making money and enjoying myself."

44. What are your views on sex?

"I love good sex, it is fun. Though it is not to be had willy nilly or to obsess over. Sex, is sex. It is not dirty, it is not foul or to be frowned upon. Do not force it on others and do not have it if you do not understand the principle of 'treat others as you wish to be treated'...do not just take, fools." A titter escaped the lady's mouth, her cheeks coloring a tad.

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

"Yes, and I will not answer that."

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

"Rape."

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?

"Yes, I suppose. Though I have not found anyone I fancy in that regard. I just love couples, though."

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?

"Being happy with yourself...and rich."

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 precariously open, though I often do things I do not mean to get what I want. It is all a matter of asking...if you do not ask, I will not tell you what I feel for you, which is most likely nothing. People are very disposable, only a select few have moved me enough for me to adore them."

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

"People who depend on tradition are fools. Do not hinder society with your idiotic idealizations. Honor is one thing, stupidity is another. Racism is foolish, though I do tend to think that all Roegadyn folk are much stronger than they really are, so I do overestimate them at times. Do not think me foul, I love them all, such hearty individuals, all of them seem to  have so much character. I...I do not believe poor people deserve help, they are poor because they let themselves be, working is a necessity."

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?

"Well, there is a long list. I would never crawl into a morbol den, or admit my activity to lawful folk. ...Mmm, I suppose I do not like the idea of sleeping with folks willy nilly, and I do abhor the thought of hard manual labor for myself. I suppose I would do such things if absolutely necessary...Mmm...This question was pointless. Move on."

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

"Gil. The sake of pleasure, and ...and I suppose my companions that I have come to love and care for."

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 treat everyone the same until they do something that makes them worthy, or unworthy of such treatment. Politely, yet not genuinely close. If a person is close to me, I will definitely be more loving towards them, they deserve my company and I deserve theirs, I believe. Such folks that I have find undeserving however...I suppose they do not deserve good treatment from anybody."

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?

"Myself. Me. What a silly question, why would someone not call themselves the most important? If you are not the most important, then you obviously do not care enough for yourself to care for others."

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?

The woman pauses for a moment, finger tapping at her cheek as if she were in deep thought. After a good moment, her lips twist into a grimace as words spill forth from her tiers. "Stupid people, for still being alive even though they are horrifically impaired."

56. Who are your friends?  Do you have a best friend?  Describe these people.

"Many folk. Three of them, and I will not describe them. My descriptions would be unworthy of their greatness."

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other?  If so, describe this person.

"No, but I think I would like to have one of those should I meet someone who I love in return."

58. Have you ever been in love?  If so, describe what happened.

"No, I have never even felt affection for anyone, I think. I would love to, but no one has really stricken me like that."

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

"A nice face and body, intellect, I suppose I would like for him to be as wealthy as I am, if not more. I want him to be madly in love with me, and I want to be madly in love with him.  He should be worldly and ..definitely not shy. I think I would like for him to be pleasant and happy with himself, loving himself is the most important thing, definitely."

60. How close are you to your family?

"I do not care about them and if they were all to die a bell from now I would not bat an eyelash."

61. Have you started your own family?  If so, describe them.  If not, do you want to?  Why or why not?

"No, and no. I hate the thought of having children, and when and if I get a lover or husband of my own, I wish to enjoy my life to the fullest with them, travel, play, fool about, enjoyment. I want to grow old with one person, that is all I desire out of a relationship....I also dislike children."

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?

"My dear ones, and if none of them are around, the nearest object I can use."

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you?  Who, and why?

"My charges, specifically a Seawolf. He goes many places with me and does a lot of my dirty work, lovely man, that one." He is an NPC of my own creation Hawu absolutely adores on a platonic level.

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

"Hopefully my dear ones, all of my friends, but I would not expect it out of anyone to miss me, it is unnecessary."

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

"I haven't met anyone worthy of my despising them, if I do, I will kill them."

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?

"I do not argue. I do not have the time for such petty things."

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

"I can, but I do enjoy watching. Leading is easy so long as you can act as if you have empathy."

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?  Why or why not?

"Yes, I adore it. It is fun to be social and loud, though I would rather  be with a few good friends rather than a whole bar of strangers at times, as anyone would."

69. Do you care what others think of you?

"Only if I care about them, or need something out of them."

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

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

"I collect flowers and press them, I have many books of the blooms. Ah, how I wish I had the time to garden... I enjoy people watching and good conversation. Dancing and tomfoolery has always been great fun as well as traveling. I absolutely adore shopping, really...ahem. Reading, learning."

71. What is your most treasured possession?

"Mmmm, my pressed flower collection. I believe I would weep for weeks should something happen to it."

72. What is your favorite color?

"I enjoy passionate reds, though I quite enjoy softer colors...I could never just pick one."

73. What is your favorite food?

"Rolanberry cheesecake with triple cream coffee."

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?

"Anything and everything, really. I love to read."

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?

"People of all walks of life, conversation. I adore good music and dancing, but I do believe I also enjoy watching folk who are passionate about their craft actually work, no matter what it is."

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs?  If so, why?  Do you want to quit?

"I do drink socially, nothing else really. I don't find it to be a vice. Alcohol goes so well with tea afterall."

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?

Well, Hawu...Keep on trucking, learn to be a little less crude. I think you should either continue your studies or go all into merchantile practices, but that's just my opinion. Keep being yourself, don't ever hate yourself and remember to hold your tongue around those big scary people you don't have any business making angry, babe.

The next up and coming nuhn would have to prove both his strength and wisdom before ruling the tribe. Her father was the nuhn for most of her life and taught Ana how to hunt and track. Her mother had a love for every living thing which is where Ana got her love for gardening and caring for her precious plants.

Your feelings matter too and you have as much right as anyone else to be happy. So snap out of it and stop letting people take advantage of you."

"Dead, probably."

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

"Only Araki. She's the best! After the. . .Thing with the ship, she's the one who found me and nursed me back to health. And then, right in front of everyone, declared me her sister and heir!

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?

"Right now? Some Inn in Limsa Lominsa. Not exactly high class like Araki's used to, but when you're livin' by the daily pay, what choice do we have? Nobody cares about us, and we don't care about them. Works out for everyone.

6.What is your occupation?

Either way, I've got a red eye and a green one, and my hair is short and black. The bandage? Oh, its just easier keeping it on. I hate it when people stare at that scar. The thing on my forehead is a. . . .I guess a focus tattoo? Araki made me get it after I had some trouble with training, it was supposed to be a point of concentration. I'm thin and-Yes, some people DO mistake me for a boy, we can't ALL be lucky like sis, can we?!  What do I wear? Whatever's easy to move in and is durable."

"'side from Araki? Granny Tsukiyama. Everyone treated her with respect, and when she had time for me, she was one of the few people I didn't have to worry about treating me differently because I had special ears 'stead of horns. Aside from Araki, that is. And she had the youngest soul, too! We played lots of games together. . .I really miss her."

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

"Aside from Araki and Granny Tsukiyama, everyone was really. . .distant. I was adopted, I wasn't Au ri, and I was a foreigner to boot, so I just kinda. . .Got ignored if I was lucky."

Part 1: The Basics

1.What is your full name?

 “Orrick Addicus Kane.”

2.Where and when were you born?

 “Don’t remember the name too well… Some shitty little rundown desert trading post what burned in the

Calamity. Southern Shelf or something like that, about twenty-eight years ago”

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

 “Brunwulf and Astra Kane… Astra is a loving, strong woman who worked as a miner, and definitely

deserved a better son… And that bastard Brunwulf is the shittiest, sneakiest, most vile creature on

the planet. The worst kind of merchant.”

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

 “Aye, a younger sister, Marsa. A kinder soul than me, chose to go to Gridania and learn to mend wounds.

 She’s kind and nice, mostly, not afraid to tell ya how she feels. She’s right knightly.”

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

 “I scrape up a living in Ul’Dah, living wherever the Immortal Flames won’t mistake me for a troublesome

Refugee. Mostly under the stars in some alley, or in some cheap inn.”

6.What is your occupation?

 “I’m a sort of reverse thief. I take back what’s stolen in the cover of night. I mostly work with the Brass

Blades and the like. It’s easier to flow with the law, then fight against it. Speakin’ of the Brass

Blades, I occasionally work as a scout for them, ya know, when they’re shorthanded.”

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.

 “Oh boy… Ah, I’m a five and a half fulms tall, about a hundred forty ponzes midlander. Green hair and

eyes. Type of dress? I’ll wear whatever the hells I’m given, though partial to looser, lighter

clothes. I’m not a fan of being stabbed, especially if it means permanent inkings. Got a couple

scars, hard to dodge arrows when you don’t see ‘em loosed.”

8.To which social class do you belong?

 “Is there a social class for arsehats with sharp tongues? And don’t you dare say merchants.”

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

10. Are you right- or left-handed?

 “Mostly left, but I’m decent with a stabber in each.”

11. What does your voice sound like?

 “You know that jackass you went to school with as a lad or lass? Make him a tad snarkier, and bruise his

cheek a tad. You get what I’m saying?”

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

 “There’s a phrase that I mutter on missions: Don’t get seen, Don’t get shot, Don’t get caught. Makes my

life a little easier, ya see?”

13. What do you have in your pockets?

 “Knives, lockpicks, marbles, some firesand, a couple biscuits, and uh… Oh, a couple gil, lovely.”

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

 “I’m not entirely certain what ya mean, but I’m very fidgety. ‘T’s why the Thaumaturges didn’t want

wanna train me. They also called me about as smart as a chocobo’s arse, but I don’t keep

grudges.”

 

 

 

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

 “It was decent, we struggled, aye, but we got by with what we had.”

16. What is your earliest memory?

 “That shite head Brunwulf walking away when I was about six. My sister was only a year old at the

point.”

17. How much schooling have you had?

 “Apparently not enough. A couple of years. Needed to leave to help out my ma with her store.”

18. Did you enjoy school?

 “It was alright. Felt like work, looked like work, and I treated it like work.”

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

 “A couple of lads stopped by the Shelf before the Calamity. Called themselves rogues, but they looked a

bit more like pirates to me. Anyroad, they afford to give me a bit of instruction afore they shipped

out again.”

20. While growing up, did you have any role models?  If so, describe them.

 “Not really. Except maybe the Sultansworn, but just about every Ul’Dahn child did.”

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

 “I was an arse, but never to my family. The world’s too big to have everyone hate you, and no one loves ya

like your ma.”

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

 “Protect my friends and family. Coin and Country and all.”

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?

 “I was a right bastard. I bossed people around, got into fights… I did enjoy cooking with my family, just

about the only wholesome thing that came from my childhood.”

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

 “I was violent, rude, aggressive, but protective, and strong.”

25. As a child, were you popular?  Who were your friends, and what were they like?

 “Wasn’t popular, and didn’t have a friend outside my family.”

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?

 “Assuming I’ve kissed someone?”

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

 “Aye, I am.”

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities.  If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

 “My Ma’s store got broken into a few days after those lads from Limsa left. I had a feeling it was one of the

newly arrived merchants from Ul’Dah. So, I went to go check it out, found that one of those slimy

bastards was selling my mother’s goods at a hiked up price. So, that night, I snuck into his wagon,

snagged her goods back, and more or may not have planted some less than legal goods, then

sicced the Brass Blades on ‘im the next day. Decided that’d probably be my best route in life.”

 

 

 

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

 “It’s by far meeting those rogues. If I hadn’t, I don’t know what I would do… Maybe become a culinarian,

but making your hobby a job is a real great way of making ya hate your hobby.”

30. Who has had the most influence on you?

 “Honestly, my sister is the biggest influence on me. Tales of her daring doos and the like make me strive to

be a better person. Well, about as better a person as a thief can be.”

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

 “After the Calamity, I moved to Ul’Dah, while my mother went to Horizon. When I arrived, I went to the

Brass Blades and offered them my services. Though they denied me, they didn’t really care about

the practice I did, so long as I was only snagging back what was stolen in the first place.

Anyroad, there was this guy, a small guy, even for a Lalafell, he came to me when I first started

advertising my services. Turns out, the guy works for the Goldsmith’s guild, and had one of their

newest creations got lifted by some well to do merchant. Offered him a solid price, and quickly

and cleanly got it back, while also throwing that sticky-fingered merchant to the Brass Blades.

Made a bit of a name for myself, and a good one at that!”

32. What is your greatest regret?

 “After my first contract grab, I was asked by one of the few friends I did have for a little assistance.

Unfortunately, another contract came in as well, more gil, but just as… Time sensitive. I took the gil over my pal, and I haven’t seen him since.”

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

 “Some bloke commissioned me to snatch a ring that rightfully belonged to me. Turned out the ma’am who

Had it was his mother, who thought he died in war… I took the ring, and left her a forgery, as I

Always do for things like this. I saw her bawlin’ on the curb the day after. Ain’t proud of it.”

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

 “I may be a thief, but I’ll be damned if I don’t follow the word of the law.”

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

 “Definitely during the Calamity. I was on the road, and we decked ourselves in every last charm and

trinket we could and just prayed. We watched as the world exploded around us. By the Twelve,

we should have died, but we didn’t. We lived. Been superstitious ever since.”

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

 “I needed to get a navel ring from a miqo’te dancer, from a bath house. That is EVERYTHING you’ll pry

from me on the subject.”.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

 “I’d try harder to make friends as a child, my job requires a great deal of contacts, ones that I do not have,

and having a friend in the area is the quickest way to have access to them. Cold, maybe, but true.”

38. What is your best memory?

 “Walkin’ straight outta that twelvedamned crater, will all our limbs and lives intact. Knowing not even

the might of the Calamity could rip my family from me.”

39. What is your worst memory?

 “In the same sorta vein, watchin’ that bastard Brunwulf walk away from my mother, unborn sister, and me.

He tried to put us behind him like a bad transaction.”

 

 

 

 

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

 “I like to think I’m more optimistic than pessimistic. But, then again, I’m a known fibber.”

41. What is your greatest fear?

 “That when all is said and done, I’ll be seen as just a thief and a blackguard. That nothing I have or will

ever do will just be seen as the actions of a child you hated his father, and not that of a man tryin’

to make a difference or somethin’.”

42. What are your religious views?

 “I believe in the Twelve, and would just about anything that ain’t a damnable Primal.”

43. What are your political views?

 “Why the hells should I care about politics? As long as I can do what I do, I don’t care who’s in charge.”

44. What are your views on sex?

 “Keep your nose outta my business, and I’ll keep mine outta yours. Ain’t my right to tell people how they

should love each other.”

45. Are you able to kill?  Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

 “Oh, I can kill. I won’t, unless it is my last option, then I have no problem pokin’ a stabber between ribs.”

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

 “Abandon and betray their family, for naught but the pleasure they gain from it.”

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?

 “When ya gain the ability to do the thing you love as your occupation.”

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?

 “I’m honest enough with my emotions. It’s a touch harder for me to be as open with the softer emotions.”

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

 “I will not help a parent who abandoned their family. I make sure to do my research before helping any

beastmen either, I’ve been burned before.”

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances?  Why do you refuse to do it?

 “Work for abandoners, and steal from single parents. Too much there for me to deal with.”

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

 “Family, friends, my country… Coin. I’m good to die for just about anything.”

 

 

 

 

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 choose to keep a bit of distance when doing business, but I’m a bit softer to those I know.”

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?

 “My lil’ Sister is one of the few people I will go out of my way to help at no cost. Even her pals gain a bit

of discount on most things.”
