I meant survey. Whoops.

Anyway, Jeff posted this thing way back when and I found the one I never finished for Jam, and was talking to Greens, who said we should totally BRING IT BACK. For those of you who've never seen it before, you're basically acting as though someone is interviewing your character/your character is filling out a questionnaire, or something. It's IC, suffice to say. Don't try to do it all in one sitting, or you'll regret it. Trust me.

Part 1: The Basics

1. What is your full name?
Lazarus Robert Lochert.

2. Where and when were you born?
It's complicated. Let's just say South Island. June 1st, 2082.

3. Who are/were your parents?
Biological, Jared and Kara Lochert. The Bostwicks raised me for most of my life, though.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Only adopted, on the Bostwick side. What are they like? ... I'unno. They're a'ight. Loud, I guess. I'm not too close, really.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
With the bio-parents in Spring City, South Island. It's a dumpy little three-bedroom house. One's their room, one's my room, the other's a junk room where Mom keeps piles of crap and old computer cases and stuff. The dining room's cluttered with musical instruments, and the kitchen's more of an office than a kitchen. You could lose small children in the high grass in the back yard. Garage is separate from the house, and mostly my space.

6. What is your occupation?
I work on airplanes. Engine work, whatever.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself.
... Really? I mean, I'm right here. Really? Can't you just take a picture or somethin'?

Yeah, alright, whatever.

I'm moderately tall, white haired, tan skinned, I've got big ears, and my eyes don't match. One's blue, and one's pink, and people either think I'm half albino or a sociopath. (The latter is closer to the truth than the former.) I ain't furry faced or furry handed. I gotta fairly strong build, and I weigh more than I look.

There.

8. To which social class do you belong?
I'unno. Lower middle.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
None worth mentioning. Allergic to some food. And thick-furry-ass people who don't bathe enough.

10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Right, but I can do some things with either hand. Not ambidextrous, just... practiced. Helps that my right arm was broke pretty bad for a while.

11. What does your voice sound like?
This's stupid. Do I gotta write this down, too?

S***. Next question.

((OOC answer: I would cast Will Smith as Rock. His performance as Hancock comes to mind.))

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
I dunno. I don't have catch phrases if that's what you mean.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Uhh... wallet, keys... yeah, that's about it.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I don't think I have any, like, ticks or anything. People say I'm bad at introductions, though. I just don't see any need to go around presentin' myself. If you don't know me, you probably don't need to know me—You know? I just ain't a people person. It doesn't excite me to go make new friends or whatever. I guess that bothers some people.



Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Oh, now you're gettin' into the deep s***, huh. Yeah, no, I wasn't abused or anything. It was good enough, no more screwed up than any other kid's.

16. What is your earliest memory?
Playing with a red yo-yo on the couch. I couldn't really do anything with it. I was probably two or somethin'.

17. How much schooling have you had?
Enough. Some university crap, no degree.

18. Did you enjoy school?
It is what it is. Feels good to walk away from it with fresh knowledge and everything. Doesn't feel good actually doing the work to learn the knowledge.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
In the military, flight academy, etc...

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
... No. Not really.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
I coexisted. I didn't really get close to anybody except Jam—That is, Layla. We've always been pretty tight.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A racer. Then I wanted to be a pilot once I realized they go a lot faster.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Building my rap sheet, mostly. I was curious. I liked goin' places I wasn't supposed to. Liked gettin' into fights, too. Video games are all well and good, but... I always wanted to find ways to do the real stuff.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Confrontational. Kind of a bully, I guess. Show off. I guess I liked attention. Even the bad kind.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
Popular? Kind of. Maybe more "infamous." I was the kid other kids were told they weren't allowed to play with. I actually didn't have many friends... Not 'til I was about twelve or thirteen, then I ran with some bad kids. Thought I was all grown up already, tried to live on my own... We just made a mess.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
I don't even remember her name, honestly. Just some neighborhood girl I messed around with for a while, then she moved away.

27. Are you a virgin?
Haaaa. Hahahah. Hah. No.

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.
Wow. That's a gay question. Supernatural? If I'm a werewolf? Th'hell, a werewolf. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. I'm already a f***in' monkey. What am I gonna do, turn into a monkeywolfmanhumanthing? That doesn't even start makin' sense.

Anyway, I just... I'unno. It's complicated. I've been around the block, I've seen what the world's like, what it can do—What it can become. What it can make you. I do what I do now because it's what I think needs to be done.


Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Getting out of the military. It's not that I hated it. It was just important that I quit. It's hard to explain.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?
I had an officer over me for most of my career—Name was Nevlik. He was a pretty no-nonsense sonuvabitch kind of guy. Didn't give people s***, didn't take s***, he just did, and he kept a good character through it. Weird sense of humor, but hard not to like. He's probably the only guy I'd never wanna get in a fight with.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
... Let's just say 'going to space.' Being on a space mission was a pretty big deal. Let's go with that.

32. What is your greatest regret?
My old girlfriends. Almost any of them.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Ahahhh, lawwwd. We don't need to go into this. I mean, I don't go around torturin' Flickies or nothin', but, I've hurt some people.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
Yes. Mostly moving violations. Some vandalism, destruction of public property, some assault & battery, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, being a belligerent drunk... All that good stuff. I don't go to sporting events anymore, either. I don't think I'm allowed to go to sporting events anymore.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
I don't really wanna go into it.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Probably something involving a girl. I used to think I was pretty hot stuff, but I got shot down a couple times. Never feels good.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
Hfff... I don't even know. Bad stuff happens for a good reason, usually. I wouldn't mess with anything.

38. What is your best memory?
Waking up on the train, comin' home from Yellow Desert for the last time. Seeing Jam, spending the evening with'er, and the next day...

39. What is your worst memory?
... Meeting a guy named Ziv, and pretty much everything that followed.



Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Realistic. I aim for optimistic results, but I don't have my head in the clouds about anything.

41. What is your greatest fear?
I'm past that. ... Seriously, there's just nothing that can happen in this life that can... break me, at this point. If I die tomorrow, then that's just what happens. If something happens to Jam tomorrow, then, that's just... what happens. It'll all be right in the end.

42. What are your religious views?
It's complicated. Call me crazy, but, I think I've met my maker once already, and I think it'll be alright the next time, too.

43. What are your political views?
Politics are an inevitable evil. The world would be better without lawyers, but whatchugonnado? I guess I'm "conservative" in that I just wanna be left alone.

44. What are your views on sex?
Makes your legs weak. Or, that's what my trainer once told me, anyway. But hey, if it's true, it's worth it anyway. Best stress reliever there is. Even better than hittin' people.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
When it's necessary, it's necessary, and I hate people who waffle over it because of morality. Sometimes, people just need to die.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
I'unno. Take somethin' that isn't theirs, that they don't need to survive.

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

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Fulfilling a purpose. Living beyond yourself. If you only make a difference for yourself, then you might as well not exist. You gotta do somethin' for other people, even if you don't always like'em. Even if you hate people, sometimes you just gotta be the person willing to do the right thing, you know?

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 go spillin' my guts at every opportunity, if that's what you mean.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Some. I don't like touching reptiles. And I don't like lookin' at, y'know... furry girls. Y'know, where they're all furry-fronted, and they got those dog-faces, or whatever, with the wet-lookin' black button nose... Ech. I kinda keep to my own, I guess. I mean, I ain't in the market anyway, but, I'm just sayin'.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
... You might be surprised by some of the stuff I've been willing to do, given the absolute necessity. ... Nothin' kinky, I mean. Not with, like, men, anyway...

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


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?
Hahhh. I think we've made this pretty clear. Yeah. Rude, distance, unless I know'em well, all that.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Jam. We've been through a lot. She's the only one who I can trust to really understand things, sometimes.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Does a robot count? Green's a bigger man than any man I ever met.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
I'unno. Times are changing. I thought me and Rekk had a sort of understanding, and I thought I'd never get along with this guy I know, "Ace"... but... I don't even know, now. It's all upside down. I'd say Jam's my best friend, but, I'd have to default to Green again for my best man friend. I just don't get to see him much these days.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
I'm startin' to feel like I'm gushy or somethin'. You gotta keep asking questions like this? I mean, it's Jam. She's a good girl. Kinda wild... She's got teeth, y'know, kind of a tomboy, but in a good way. We have fun. ... A lot.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
More times than is healthy, but I don't feel like goin' into the screwups.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
I'unno. Somebody who can keep me in my place. I don't like dainty girls, or airheads. I like a girl who I feel like might be able to take me down in a fight, you know? Yeah, okay, I know that sounds weird, but, it's good.

60. How close are you to your family?
Getting closer. My parents are pretty cool. My mom's kind of a geek, but one of the cool ones. Y'know, the kind that can fix your computer. I could do without my dad's keytar playing, though. The man... the man's got a mohawk, and fifty piercings, and he plays a keytar, and...

Well, damn, I guess that's actually kinda cool.

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
I don't... -ahh... I don't really... I'm not a dad... type of guy. No. No.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
Same guy I always have. Green.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
I know Jam's got my back. We kind of rely on each other like that.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Jam, my family... That's probably it.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
I don't have anybody in particular. I can't stand people who are full of themselves, though.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
Argue. Well, I mean, I'm argumentative, but sometimes I'll just... ignore people rather than argue with them. It depends.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Where necessary. In social situations, though? I mean, when does somebody need to be a social leader? I ain't a group activity planner or anything.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
Not particularly. I don't mind being around crowds, but I can do without the party scene. Nothin' to gain.

69. Do you care what others think of you?
Not obsessively. Actually, no, not at all. I do too much crap to give people bad impressions, and I don't lose any sleep over it, so, no.



Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
I like flying. Heights. Going fast. Motorcycles, airplanes, things that move. Faster is better. But I guess I also like movies and things like that okay. Music's cool, good outlet... The Bostwicks were a pretty musical family, and my dad's really into it, too, so a lot of that's rubbed off. I don't much care for messing with computers or the internet, though. I mean, I'm not an idiot on a PC, but, I just... I'd rather be outside.

71. What is your most treasured possession?
Eh. Stuff comes and goes. I've got an old yo-yo I'm kind of attached to, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if somethin' happened to it.

72. What is your favorite color?
Red.

73. What is your favorite food?
Spicy stuff. I'm not too picky.

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

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
A good movie. Or even just getting to go someplace new is nice.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
Yyyeeeahnahhh. I have, but, not now. I think I've learned my lesson.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
It varies. Sometimes I just kinda sit around at home, watch TV with Jam... Sometimes we'll go someplace, just for the sake of goin' someplace. Sometimes I go play with Juke and his punks out on Route 99, take a couple bets, run a couple races...

78. What makes you laugh?
Usually stupid stuff. Often stuff at other people's expense. I have a bad sense of humor.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
That's a tough one. I'unno. I guess I can still get surprised by some of the stuff folks are "into." ... If you get what I mean. ... ... The world's got its weirdos. You know'em when you see'em.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I wanna say somethin' cool, like, "yeah, I'd get on my motorcycle, and riiide to clear mah head" or somethin', but, ... I'd probably just watch TV, honestly.

81. How do you deal with stress?
A delicate balance of bottling it, and periodically exploding on people.

I never said it was a good way.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
A little from column A, a little from column B. I'm kind of an as-I-go schemer. I usually have a plan, but sometimes I don't figure it all out until the last minute.

83. What are your pet peeves?
Egos. Yeah, I know, that's hypocritical, but I never said hypocrites bother me that much, did I? I just don't like people who think they're all that when they can't back it up.

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?
Get up. Hygiene. Eat. Ride to the airport. Go to the hangar, work. Eat lunch at the cafe. Work some more. Go meet up with Jam, eat someplace, either home, or wherever... Depending on the day of the week, just chill, or go watch her band practice, or whatever. Not much structure past that. Interruptions don't bother me much, either. Structure gets boring.

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
I ain't afraid to do what needs to be done, whatever that is. And I can usually pull it off, too. I mean, not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good at figuring things out.

86. What is your greatest weakness?
I'm not afraid to do more than what needs to get done. Which is to say, I kinda get carried away, I think. Put people in their place who really don't need to be put anywhere, y'know? I go off on folks a little too easy. Trying to get the hang of lettin' things roll off.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I just wish I could chill out sometimes. Being angry's stressful.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
I... think it's kind of a wild card. I don't really care about meetin' people, but I ain't afraid of people. But I guess I'm more of a private person.

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
Depends. I'm kind of a disorganized "all at once" thinker and worker, but I keep my stuff fairly well organized.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
I'm good at... flying, fighting, and fixing things. I'm bad at driving, not getting into fights, and not breaking things.

91. Do you like yourself?
Yeah, I think I'm a pretty cool guy, I get in fights and don't afraid of anything.

... Sorry. That's ah. I blame my mom. She runs memes into the ground.

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...)
RPG character? The hell's that? Like that tabletop s***? The only thing worse than that's gotta be internet role-playing. Depraved bunch'a nerds with their little... Peter Pan complexes... pretendin' they're all kinds'a weird crap... like unicorns, or whatever...

Anyway. I'unno. "Adventurer" is a strong and stupid word that makes me think of blue hedgehogs, or blonde kids in green floppy caps, or what have you. But, I guess... really, I do some of the stuff I do because I feel like nobody else will. That's all. I mean, yeah, I like a little trouble once in a while, but peace is better. At least when things are peaceful, all the troublemaking is at my personal discretion.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
There's a few ways I wanna make the world a better place. I ain't goin' into specifics, though.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully in the same place, just... more peaceful.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Doing something really cool.

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Three things? Well, I can tell you one ain't family friendly. The rest... Probably nothing too crazy. Eat, enjoy a nice evening, plan out who gets the family fortune... Yeah, right.

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

98. What three words best describe your personality?
Ugh. This is another stupid question. I dunno.

Incorrigible. Hard. Ass.

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

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...)

Chill out before you run off my players with your violent ass. You want an empty universe or what? I'm not gonna NPC a world for you. You're not getting your own book. Play nice.

Cross didn't have the luxury of his own office. The SSD squadmembers all had their own desks in one large room in a building on base, which was the reason he was afforded little privacy while trying to concentrate on paperwork, the bane of any leader's existence.

He pretended to ignore Elegant Joe until the robot finally threw a couple of papers onto his desk. Cross stopped what he was doing and very slowly let his eyes travel up to the Capsule Trooper. "What. Do. You. Want?"

"It's a survey, Major. You should do it."

Cross glanced down at it. He got enough offers from research organizations asking for his opinion on things he had nothing to do with and couldn't care less about, like how good a job math teachers were doing for South Island's youth or if Burger Emperor's new B.E. Blaster tasted better than the Veinclogger Deluxe. "No."

"Come on, it's fun. Everybody's doing it. Everybody cool, anyway."

Putting his pen down, Cross sat back in his chair and gave the robot the kind of look that just sort of makes life a bit more miserable for anyone in the nearby vicinity. The crow couldn't keep up with what society thought was cool, and if he did happen to run into cool in the middle of the street he'd probably just want to shoot it.

"Pleeeease," said Joe. "It'll only take a few minutes. Well, maybe. I heard you're not supposed to do it all at once. But seriously, you should do it."

"Why don't you?"

"I want to see what you have to say about meeee please come on pleasepleasepleaseplease."

Since he knew this would continue until he either killed Joe or himself, Cross grabbed the papers and stared at them.

Part 1: The Basics

Cross scribbled out everything under the section with his pen except for the first question, under which he wrote:

Part 5: Relationships with Others

Joe stood there, cupping his hands behind his back and waiting for the Major to finish.

Part 7: Self Images And Etc.

Purple

Cross paused and neglected to scribble over the last question. He regarded it confusedly for a moment, then scratched through a few words and replaced them.

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player character, give to your character player? (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...)

F**k you.

"Major, you are no fun whatsoever."

Cross handed it back. "Now let me work."

"Fine. Surveys are too cool for you anyway. Luckily," and he produced another group of papers stapled together, "I have an extra copy! Now do it the right way."

"Joe," said Cross, red spiderweb veins stretching through his eyes.

"What is this manner of nonsensical gibbering?" asked Ooryl, who had just walked up to see what all the fuss and anger (on Cross' part) was about.

The robot whirled around. "OH. OHH. Medic-dude, whatever your name is again. Here, take this survey."

Ooryl stared at the survey like he knew what it was. "Surr-vay?"

"Yeah, they're a blast. Try it."

Ooryl took the survey and regarded it for a moment. He rolled it up into a ball and began eating it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO," howled Joe.

I was in a really bad mood, but this officially made my day.

Ooryl is pretty awesome.


Ok so.

I dunno, I probably hate everyone? My dad's always telling me off for pulling on my ears and my mom says I look stupid when I stick my thumbs down my pants.




Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Oh, jeez, total crap-storm? My mom was always like teaching me how to be boring and my dad was always yelling at me 'cause I wasn't boring enough. My stupid brother was always crying and getting attention for himself, and now my sister's doing it too, so great. Fine. Whatever.


16. What is your earliest memory?
My earliest memory is pulling books out of the shelf to look at them. Next thing I know my mom lifts me up and puts me on the couch and starts yelling at me and like, I don't even know what. All I wanted to do was look at the books, I wasn't trying to make her stupid life harder or anything.


17. How much schooling have you had?
I dunno?.


18. Did you enjoy school?
It's stupid. I hate math so much. All the other kids are afraid of me, I freak them out.

I dunno, anywhere? I just do stuff.


20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
I dunno, I like SKUM, they're pretty cool. There was this old guy who was like an electrician for a really big company back in the day, and he could figure out what was wrong with a machine just by looking at the circuit boards. He had so much cool old stuff in his house. He like told me once about this hospital, and like they had this huge problem with their machine, and their mechanic couldn't figure out anything so they called the old guy in, and he like, looked at it for about half-an-hour, and then he replaced one part in the transformer, and the whole thing started working again, and the mechanic was so freaked out, and the old guy couldn't even tell the hospital he'd fixed it for like 4 hours, because they wouldn't believe he'd fixed it, and so when he did tell them he fixed it, they STILL freaked out, and kept asking him if he was screwing with them, and he said no and proved it, and they never ever asked him to come back again, because he made them look like jerks.


21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
My mom and dad are always yelling at me, and my brother and sister hate me.


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


23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
I liked making stuff. I'd always make stupid recipes out of like coconut and cheese and chocolate chips and put them together in the microwave, and then my mom would kill me 'cause the chocolate would bubble over the side of the bowl and stick to the microwave and there'd be goopy burned up chocolate coconut all over the spinning thing, and she'd make me scrub it all off.


24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
What? I dunno. I yelled a lot.

Why are you asking all this stupid stuff, anyway?

Oh my gosh oh my gosh, what's wrong with you?






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.
...What?



Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
I dunno. Rock and roll? Maybe getting an extreme gear. That was cool. It meant I didn't have to stick around with my stupid parents all the time, and have them drive me everywhere. Ugh.


30. Who has had the most influence on you?
I guess maybe that old guy. Hey, you know who's really cool. Rouge the Bat. She's so awesome. She's just—I don't even know. She can just steal anything.


31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Once I jumped my extreme gear over the Jumbo's Mega Tofu Chicken sign on 54th Down Avenue. I ramped it off the top of an apartment building.


32. What is your greatest regret?
Letting my dad know I liked rock and roll.


33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
I dunno. I stole a thing of chocolate milk once from a kid. I kinda felt bad though, but that stupid jerk was so snotty-nosed from crying I couldn't give it back without getting his booger-trailers all over it, and then he called the teacher anyway.


34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No.


35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
When my dad found out I liked rock and roll.


36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Once I was in school, and like, this guy fell into me, and he grabbed on to one of my chains, and he kinda ripped part of my pants. I ran right into the girl's room, but everyone was all like 'oooooh' and laughing and the principle called my parents and my mom came to pick me up from school, and the entire way home it was like this huge talk about the clothes I wore.


37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I dunno, my life? I wish I didn't have an older brother. He's so mean.


38. What is your best memory?
I got this really nice bracelet once, for a birthday present. It was from Dyllan's mom, because Dyllan was a moron who couldn't get anything for anyone. He gave a grasshopper in a jar for a present. It died.


39. What is your worst memory?
This one time my brother and I had this really huge fight, and he hit me, and I broke one of his stupid cds and stomped all over it, and he started screaming and my mom came in and pulled me off to my room.

*sniff*




Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
I dunno, whatever? People are stupid anyway.

You are such a perv.

I guess... I dunno. What kind of question is that?


50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
I wouldn't get into any freakazoid's stupid car if he asked me, and I wouldn't go shopping with anyone, and I wouldn't kill anyone even if anyone paid me. Uh, because he could kidnap me? And because mall's are stupid and people always want to buy stupid clothes, and because killing people for money is stupid, and I don't know the person, and why do they want me to kill them?


52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
I think I would die before I put on nice clothing and made my room all pretty and sat in stupid parties and 'got a life' like my mom and dad want me to.

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 dunno, people are jerks. Why should I be nice to them?

...I dunno.


55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
I think Rouge the Bat is awesome. Sonic is pretty cool. I really liked that old guy.

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

Uh, no-one?

My brother. He is such a freak.

Well, I'm always getting put in detention for beating up people.

What, like... scavenger hunts and stuff? Ew. No, not really, people hate me anyway, so they're not gonna listen to me when I boss them around.


68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
No, people are losers.


69. Do you care what others think of you?
No, I don't care what people think of me. They can think I'm stupid, for all I care.




Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
I like riding my extreme gear.


71. What is your most treasured possession?

73. What is your favorite food?

I dunno, I like riding stuff like... Stories and stuff. I like reading Blister magazine. It's about rock-n-roll.


75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
I dunno, I like movies and stuff. I like listening to music while I'm on the extreme gear. I can only do that on rooftops though, because people yell at me if I do it on the street. I like going down-town sometimes, where there are all these lights and things. The highway is so cool at night.


76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
I tried smoking cigarettes once. They were so sick.


77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Usually racing around on the extreme gear. Sometimes when I'm grounded, I'll just like, lie there and kick the wall, because it drives my parents nuts, and they can't ground me forever. So I just kick the wall until they get sick of grounding me.


78. What makes you laugh?
I dunno, a funny joke? Like, what's worse than a dead baby in a trash can? A hundred dead babies in a tr—


79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Fine, you jerk. I dunno. Once I saw a little... Once—I saw... Ugh, my eyes are watering. *snrk* Once... um...





80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I dunno, kick the wall? Maybe I'd listen to some music or eat some cereal or something.


81. How do you deal with stress?
Usually I listen to music, really loud.


82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I never have a plan. I mean, sometimes I have a plan, like, I wanna repair extreme gears when I grow up, or I wanna buy chakrams, but like, I never really PLAN stuff, I just run around.


83. What are your pet peeves?
I hate people who listen to whiny music and like go around pretending they're so sad, and I hate preppy kids, and I hate the stupid shirts my dad always wears tucked in, and I hate my brother's earring, he looks like such a freak, and I hate my little sister, how she's always using up all the glue sticks, and I hate how my teacher calls me Lucy, even though Lulu is my real name, and I hate how people are always pretending not to look at me in the halls at school, and I hate how—


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?
I dunno, wake up, go to school, get yelled at, beat up some kid, get totally stoned on Dreamy Flakes over the weekend and watch slasher flicks. Or skate on the extreme gear.


85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
I rock on the extreme gear.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
I'm really good at the extreme gear, I'm really good at fixing stuff, and I really, like, um, like, making stuff, out of paper and stuff. Like making posters and things. I'm really bad at math. I never get along well with kids, and, um, I'm really terrible with stuff like working at stores and stuff. I always freak out and I can never do anything right.


91. Do you like yourself?
I dunno, 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 dunno, I always thought it'd be really awesome to save the world. Like, it'd be cool, you know?




93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I wanna... I dunno. I wanna own an extreme gear shop, I guess.


94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I-I dunno.


95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Um, I—I-dunno, I... I... I don't want to die in a crash... maybe, maybe maybe I could... um, just fall asleep, or something? And then maybe die?


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


97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
I-I-I-What's wrong with you? What are all these questions for anyway? You're just asking me all these stupid questions about like dying and sex and stuff, nice going, perv-face. What is this, for some kind of spooky school thing? Like are you trying to figure out how to hypnotize me or something? Sick of detaining me? Are you some government creep or something? Are you some GUN freaknut working in some kind of weird program or something? Jeez, I'm so sick of this.


98. What three words best describe your personality?
Bite me, loser.





99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
I dunno, big stupid jerk?


100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...)
I think you should probably... look for a friend. I know you really really hate people, but there's gotta be one person out there who hates people as much as you do, and then you can hate people together or something. Seriously, you gotta try getting a friend, even if you hate the idea, you have to find someone. You may hate the idea, but please, give it a shot. I mean, remember Dyllan? You got along with him, right? There's gotta be someone out there.

Please nooo, Johnnn.

I think we may have found the line of "too realistic," and trodden upon and perhaps over it.

Dang, sorry.

I'm playing.

Well, half playing. The whole thing reminds me of those phone company commercials with the sassy little IDK, my BFF Jill girl talking aloud in text-speech.



To be totally serious, though, I don't see where such a normal little-brat character could fit into a story like this without becoming the utter buttmonkey hate-pool everyone is always trying to leave behind or discreetly nudge into a pit of lava. If that's the goal, then perhaps something funny can be made of it if she's also improbably persistent, for some reason. But I really think the only way such a mundanely normal, whiny, whiny, sullen character could ever fit is actually if her whole purpose was to immediately begin to go through complete change and suddenly lighten up as a result of involvement, or something. In which case it probably could work.

But then again, it's also another little-tiny-girl character, and nobody ever wants to bring them along, no matter how behaved they act, otherwise we'd see more Cream action.

Filling this thing out for canons is stupid and hard and I hate it.

Yeah, I'd say don't even bother.

Ok so I finally submit Jack, so how 'bout some insight to get an idea of how she works? X3 when you jsut do it in sections and take your time its not so bad.

Gettin’ promoted to Sheriff.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?
Paw. Didn’ I answer this’un before?

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Becomin’ Sheriff. I also ‘ave won me more than a few shootin’ competitions.

…tha’ ‘coon. If Id’a shot him in the leg’er somethin’ when I brought him in he might notta been able to wear that ridicules costume and besmirch the SIPD.

Well I ain’t an evil person. I mighta accidently went home with department property but it ain’t like I don’t bring it back.

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

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
Well, I ‘ad cornered this bank robber in the back of this old saloon, Deputy Target was watching the back door, and as I went to open the door to the back the damn knob and good chunk of the door blew off! Just about scared me half to death, that ol’ snake and his shotgun gave me some trouble. Damn good thing Target was there, I tell you what.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Awe. Shucks, I guess when I was a kid, and at my fist shootin’ competition and I was so nervous, I couldn’t even hit the target.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
I ‘pose I’da spent more time with Ma, and maybe a little less with Paw. Iffin’ I’d of known she was gonna up an die like that, I’d of defiantly spent more time with ‘er.

38. What is your best memory?
Best? Awe, I ‘unno. I’m real fond of my memory of bein’ accepted into the SIPD.

When Ma died. Just a tot back then, didn’t much understand why she’d go and up’an leave me like that. She’s someplace better now though.



Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

Killin’ someone.

42. What are your religious views?
I believe there’s a God and he’s watchin’ out for us.

It’s only proper fer a man an woman to wait till they’ve said their vows to start doin’ stuff like that.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
I don’t find killin’ to be acceptable under any circumstances. I’ve been at this job fer years and I ain’t never had to kill no one, and I don’t intend on startin’. Each one of those good fer nothin’s is someone’s kid, wife, hubby ‘er sister ‘er brother, It ain’t our place to decide who gets to stay and who’s gotta go.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
Take’ah life. More to the point, takein’ the life of a kid.

Hard work an’ compassion.

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

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Nawh. Just stupid hatrid, just ‘cause one apples bad don’t mean they all are. But I guess when it comes to those egg-robot things I don’t much care for any of them. Never met one that didn’ try to kill me.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
Uh, Killin’, case you ain’t gathered that one up yet. But uhm, it’s heavy, it weighs heavy on ya, and it’s not a good feelin’, knowin’ that was a life you snuffed out. T’aint right.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
I put my life on the line everyday for people who ain’t got the strength to do it themselves. I ain’t got a problem with diein’ in the line of duty, I knew the risk’s when I took this job. Drives Paw nuts though, I tell you what.


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’m polite to most everyone, and I guess I’m nicer ta folk’s I know better, so yeah.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Uh, well Paw, for one. He always gives me some good advice when I’m in need of it. And, hm, I guess Target, he’s a bit strange for a CT, but I think he’s got a good heart, I’d take a bullet for either of them. Heh, I won’t have to for Target though.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Paw, and o’course my superiors and compatriots in the law business, with the exception bein’ that ‘coon.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Well I don’t get much time for socializing, but I’m pretty close to my deputy. He’s got a real high voice for a CT, somethin’s wrong with his inner workin’s, I’m not real great with that computer crap. But he wont get it fixed, he says it makes him ‘unique’ which I guess is somethin’ important to ya when yer one of, oh, what hundreds? Thousands? How many of these guys we got ‘round anyway?

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
Naw. I’m single.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
Yep, sure have. Thought it was true love too, just about married that varmit, but he wasn’t as gooda person I thought he was. Turn’s out he was a two timin’ weasel. An’ I just can’t share my weasel with anyone, so I broke it off.

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

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
I can always call fer backup if I need it.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
Yeah, of course I do. Any SIPD is an alley to me I’d protect, and they’d protect me too.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Paw, poor thing. It’d just ‘bout break his heart. Deputy seems real attached to me too.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
I don’ really despise the guy, but that darn ‘coon is such a thorn in my side. He gives police a bad name in that get-up of his. You know I arrested him right? Yeah! That guy used to be a thief! Master criminal, he just thought he was soooo smooth, up ‘till he took to stealin’ in my jurisdiction. I had him in chains in no time. And next thing I know, he’s done served his time and now fancy’s himself an officer of the law.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I try ta avoid it, sure. But sometimes you just won’t get heard unless you raise yer voice.

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

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
Sure. Or small groups, or inbetween, don’t much matter to me.

69. Do you care what others think of you?
I guess it’s one of those things I try to keep positive, don’t want people thinkin’ I’m a bad person, but each person is entitled to their own opinion of me.



Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

I just love ridin’, western style that is. And I’ve gotten real good at bankin’ bullets off things, it’s real neat. I used ta cook a lot, after ma died someone had ta do it. I couldn’t live on Paw’s grilled cheese, right? Heh.

Criminals that think they know the law better than I do.

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?
I get up, wash, get dressed, go work, get home, wash’gen and then go to bed. Waddo you mean disrupted like if I can’t wash? Hun there is always time for a wash. But sometimes I gotta go home, wash and go back ta work. That’s real tirein’.

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

Or when my mom got sick once-- see sharks don't get sick real often, just a species thing, and I thought it was real bad... she got better, but, yeah, y'know. I was kinda scared for a time there.

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

Uhhm... dude, that really depends on what you mean. Next question.

No-one in particular, I guess. "Good people", I guess, sums it up.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Ummm. I donno, both of my best friends are pretty low-key guys, an' it seems like they never hang out with anyone but me or eachother.
Blitzkreig -- bearded dragon. I call him BK. He's pretty loud-- speaks loud, likes turnin' up his music really loud, even acts loud, y'know? Likes metal a lot. Good guy, though, the kind of guy who'll swoop in to kick some ass if he figures someone's done y'wrong. And then there's Laz. ... ohhh, boy, Laz. Lazuli, actually-- he's a peacock, and he's really vain. Kind of a flake, too, to be honest, really concerned with himself. Wants to be the best, and kinda thinks he's better than he is. but he's not that bad. I guess I put up with 'im 'cos I knew him before he was like that.
There're a lot of other people, too, but, eh, y'know. Those two are my first mates.

Oh, and Mimi, 'course. As I said, she likes to sit in fronta the boob tube half the time, but she's my li'l sister and we get along a lot better than most, pro'lly 'cause we're like 10 years apart, or somethin'. Iunno. I think I've gone over this.

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

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
Eheh. Nothin' more'n, like, middle-school stuff.

My best friends, I guess. Family, too. Ho-de-hum, nothin' real special.

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

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
It's fine if I have to, but I prefer smaller groups, jus' cos I can get to know people better. They don't bother me, though.

69. Do you care what others think of you?
Uh, actually, kinda. Not a lot, though. I want people to like me, but, I'm not gonna run around doin' backflips if someone's got a problem with me.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

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

Lots. I like slapstick, prolly 'cos I pull off so much of it. I like puns, too, like, the worse they are the better.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Iunno. People bein' right jerks to one another, I guess? An' stupid hatred and all that.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
Video games, man. They're mind-numbin'.

I go swimmin'. Fairly harmless, y'know? Nobody gets hurt and I can't drown if I'm bein' dumb or anythin'.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Spontaneity for me, yo. I hate it when I'm with people who've gotta have every minute of the day planned out. Yah I mean, I get hurt, but, that's half the fun!

83. What are your pet peeves?
Workin'. High-an'-mighty-people. Downers and cynics, stuff like that.

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?
Wake up, do stuff, go to sleep. ... what? It's true...

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
Like... I don't real discouraged and I don't really worry too much? I know that can be bad but... so yeah.

86. What is your greatest weakness?
Uhhh... I'm kinda lazy. And people say I'm kind'a a blockhead at times, I guess.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I'd like t'not be so clumsy. Trippin once'n' a while's okay, but man, I trip over my tail, or feet, or rocks...

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Uhhhh... have you got the "I like people" thing yet? Short memory, man.

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
Organizin' stuff's a waste of time. I know where it is, why bother?

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Uh. Stuff I'm good at: swimmin', eatin', findin' stuff-- I got a nose for it, and not my big ol' shnozz. You know what I mean.
Stuff I'm bad at: workin', dancin' or anythin' that needs coordination on my feet, cookin'.

91. Do you like yourself?
Sure do. Why wouldn't I?

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...)
... uhh... wha?

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I wanna find somethin' cool. Like, something that changes the world. I'm cool with it if I don't find it, but, eh, a sharky can dream.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
... I'm not gonna answer that, 'cos if I do I'll either be right or horribly wrong, and if I'm right, it ain't gonna be for findin' somethin' great.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Struck by lightnin' while wrestling a lumberjack, an' wind up fused to the lumberjack. It'd make for a great obituary.

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Uhhh. Say goodbye to all my friends and family, eat junk food until I puke, an' swim out into the middle of nowhere jus' so I can die doin' somethin' I like. ... swimmin', duh.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
Again: I wanna find somethin' really, really cool. I don't wanna be a big ol' hero or anything, but I don't wanna fade into obscurity, y'know? ... or the lumberjack thing.

98. What three words best describe your personality?
Ummm... adventurous, lazy, laid-back. Yah, I like that.

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
... lazy, overly-friendly, fish-taco?

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...)
Stop being such a goof-ball all the time, learn to take some things seriously, and whatever you do, never take a job at a fast food place where they sell tacos, because you will regret it. Oh, and learn how to pronounce the G's at the end of words, seriously, TOO MANY APOSTROPHES.

I'm still the newbie 'round here, but since I just got my character approved I thought I'd give her a chance to speak for herself.

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

I kinda think regrets are stupid, but yeah... I don't want to talk about it

Building my Extreme Gear with my dad

39. What is your worst memory?
I guess the time that I lost my little brother or sister

41. What is your greatest fear?
Ha! I ain't afraid of nothing!

42. What are your religious views?
I guess you could say I believe in those two powerful forces called good and evil, forever battling the epic battle throughout all of time... Whoa, that sounded cool! Write that down!

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Family, friends, fame, fortune

I try to give everyone a good time. I love bein' the life of the party! I share my thoughts and feelings on a lot of things... Unless it's personal. I mean, who cares to hear how I feel about my personal issues?

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I can't help but cringe when I see really girly girls... All sissy and pink

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

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
I've risked my life a lot, if only to have fun! But seriously, I guess... My family is worth enough to me that I would...

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'm generally open to meet new friends. And of course I treat my friends differently than I would people I don't know! My friends get to experience my pranks for themselves, when most strangers don't

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Right now? Ah... I guess it's Professor Mendel. He's done a lot for me and... Yeah

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Not sure. Maybe it's myself!

I have a best friend. She and I used to do so much together! She loves music more than anything, but I haven't seen her in a while

Nope

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
In... love? Oh, fudge, I should've known questions like this would pop up. Ah... I won't say that I've ever been "in love" but I have had a few crushes I guess. Just a few dudes that didn't even know I existed

59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Well, I guess I want someone who could understand me. I mean, he doesn't have to understand everything I do, but why I do things. I want someone who knows how to have fun and doesn't care what the world thinks of him

60. How close are you to your family?
I used to be really close. They were my whole world before I left them...

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
Huh? Erm... I don't want to anytime soon. Maybe someday, but to be honest that sounds kinda boring right now

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
That depends on what I'm needing help with

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
Not really. I don't know anyone who's willing and capable to protect me

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Probably nobody. Heh, for all I know, they'd throw a party and be happy to have crazy ol' me out of their lives!

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
I don't think I really hate anyone

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

I don't mind bein' the boss if that's what you mean

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
I'm the life of the party. The more the merrier

Ha! No. Everybody thinks I'm an idiot anyway

Extreme Gear racing (if you haven't figured that out by now), playing pranks, dancing, and eating

71. What is your most treasured possession?
My Gear, The Angel Wing!

Orange! And blue! And uh, yellow... Aw heck, I like every color! Except pink... stupid sissy pink

73. What is your favorite food?
Chocolate! And tacos

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
I like to read fiction, as in adventure stories! Fantasy is cool, too. But no mushy love stuff... Just no

Practical jokes are a form of art! That's good entertainment

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
No, that stuff only makes you dopey anyway

Sitting on the couch playing video games and eating cookie dough

78. What makes you laugh?
I make me laugh! I love a good joke, and some loony toons, ya know?

I hate when people judge me without knowing who I really am. Heck, if anybody is judged without being given a chance, that offends me

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I'd probably watch TV or play some more video games

81. How do you deal with stress?
In the best way possible: I race. When I go out racing, I take all of my stress and leave it at the starting line. I don't pick it back up when I finish, either

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Spontaneous? That's my middle name!

83. What are your pet peeves?
I can't stand flirty guys. I mean, not all of them may be bad, but something about most flirts just... I don't like 'em! And flirty girls are even worse, simply because most of them seem to have an IQ of like, 10. Have you ever seen a sissy girly girl before? Ugh...

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?
Puh-lease, routines are boring. Doing the same thing every single day..? Come on!

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
I guess it's that I don't give a flip what anybody thinks of me. I'm happy just being me

86. What is your greatest weakness?
Probably the fact that I'm willing to do almost anything just to have fun. I've been suckered into doing some pretty stupid stuff before... But it was still fun!

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Nothing. I like me! ...Though, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be considered "pretty"... What was I saying?

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Extroverted, no doubt about it. I mean, what fun is it to sit quietly and keep to yourself?

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
Organizing is a waste of time. It's just gonna get messy again, isn't it?

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Extreme Gear Racing, playing pranks, and having fun. As far as the bad things... Cooking, thinking things through, and math

Do you really have to ask?

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 love going out and taking risks, and I won't hesitate to admit it. Life is a grand adventure, and I'm the captain of my own ship sailing the rough seas! And heck, if someone is needing help and I'm capable of helping, then why not? It could just be fun

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I want to become rich and famous! Known and loved by all, hopefully as the world's best racer!

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Champion Ex Gear Racer, living on my own private island with my family

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Doing some crazy stunt or in a major race

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
24 hours of that kind of mental torture? Pff! I'd say g'bye to the world and then finish myself off early-- in style! Probably jump over a waterfall or something

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
I'll just settle for that crazy cat who's hard to forget

98. What three words best describe your personality?
Wild, fun, and superspecialawesome. Yes, that counts as one word

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Stupid, impulsive, and crazy

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 really need to think about the consequences of your actions before going through with them. Just because something sounds "fun" doesn't mean it is. Practice a little more caution and you might find yourself with a lot less bruises and maybe a few more friends

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado!

Part 1: The Basics

1. What is your full name?
Full name? Caroline Mae Rosalez. That's not too bad, right? I like it. I mean, the middle name, of course.

Daniel Rudolph Crawford. Not a Goddamn word.

2. Where and when were you born?
A whole 17 years ago, in a lovely, homely little town called Moon's Anchorage. Actually, I'm being sarcastic, it's kind of a sh** hole. It's kinda like an expansion on the slums in Casino Park, 'cause I guess Casino Park didn't have enough slums on it's own. Nice view of the Hill Top mountains, though. The sunsets were so prettyyy.

If you couldn't guess, I was born and, uh, 'raised'. Fingerquotes. In sorta inner-city Casino Park. Typical kinda... that neighborhood, y'know. Whore house on one corner, gun shop on the other, and in between, some real friendly guys who'd sell moonshine by the shot, or by the bottle, orrr by the keg, if you were wealthy and pathetic enough.

3. Who are/were your parents?
My mom and my dad.

My dad was a whore and my ma' was his pimp. T'eh, nah, I don't, I don' know. My dad split when I was in diapers, prolly out to explore greener pastures. My ma', Sharon Crawford, she didn't get to see me grow past 9. I was mostly raised by my grandpa, actually. 'Specially in my teen years.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Iiiiii had a brother. Well, have. But I dunno where he is, now. Some kinda big time business man in some important city. We were never that close though, so I don't really keep track of it.

No, nothin' like that. No brothers, but a lotta bros.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
I, live in a quaint little apartment in Spring City with my boyfriend Danny, (also called Ace,) and it is so... awesome. We've got our own kitchen, our own bedroom, only one bathroom, but that's not terrible, and get this-- it came with its own toaster.

This'z gonna be one long-ass survey.

6. What is your occupation?
Full time procrastinator, time-waster, and recourse-sucker, at your service! I do try to keep the place tidy, though. Ace is just better at it than I am, that's all.

That's not true. She's actually our biggest source of income. With her... y'know... job.

Oooooooh, yeah! Oh crap, how'd I forget that. I am DJ Poison on Rad FM. Sort of a wildcard station. Every week we have, actually, a sort of comedy radio show with this character I made of the same name. Bumbling, but very ambitious kinda super villain, who's always getting into, wacky situations. Gives me a nice level of pseudo-celebrity-- like, not enough for the paparazzi to go hounding after you, but every now and then you'll be buying groceries or something, and some guy'll go "Ah coulda sworn ah herd yer voice b'fore," and I'll go "well hey I'm this DJ on this radio station" and he'll go "no ah never got me onna those thangs but muh nephew works at a store that sells 'em" and I'll go

Caz. Is now the best time?

Ah. ...Right, sorry.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself.
Short, fat, proud of that. Heh, heh, heh. Ummm, I got, sorta white-yellow, like ivory? Fur? Annnnd I dyed parta my hair, I have light brown skin, I'm a bit on a the short side, and.. I'm, uh, told my backside is very... *ahrm*. Supportive.

Not my choice of words, but it works. I'm uh, kinda tall. A cat, obviously, so I got a long cat tail and big cat ears. Yellow fur with some black stripes, and some real manly gray fur on my face an' torso. Gotta kinda build like every other guy seems to have, but I guess my ears make me look lankier than I am.

8. To which social class do you belong?
Well... not high, I know that.

Used to be we were both rock-f**kin'-bottom. A lotta thanks to Caz's new job, though, we can safely say we're somewhere around the regular bottom.

We may even be, dare I say it-- mediocre.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Peanuts, as I have learned on the plane to South Island. That was a looong flight...

Some kinda weed or something gets my nose runny in the summer, but other than that, nothin'.

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

Left, actually. But I've trained myself to be ambidextrous through intense training.

Very handy. Ha get it?

11. What does your voice sound like?
My voice is veeery important to me, so I'm really thankful people tell me it's a nice voice. It's a tiny bit high, but I can hit the high notes, and the low notes! Oh yes.

My voice, I dunno... I didn't really pay attention to it, I guess. I'd just say, normal? Little rusty from the cigarettes...

((OOC answer: Long ago, Matt suggested whoever did Hal Jordan in the First Flight animated movie. I've yet to find a more agreeable answer.))

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Fantastic." "It's gonna be great" seems like it's becoming my new catch phrase. I like it. More amicable than some a' the others. Oh, and "Yes", too. It's such a positive word, y'know? Positively charged.

Ah... I catch myself sayin' "Jackpot" when I'm feelin' real pleased about something. Old habit. "Ah, crap" seems to be getting a lotta use too, lately.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
Good sir or madam, I do not have any pockets as I am wearing a skirt. I do keep my trusty ePod clipped on it at all times, though. Just to be sure I can always listen, y'know, in case I go somewhere that doesn't have music. Like, if I get in stranded somewhere, or there's some kind of sudden, world-hitting emergency. (A zombie robot apocalypse happened the other day. I was the only one who called it.)

I got... lessee. Wallet... Some lint... And a quarter. Oh. And I dunno if you count these on my wrists, but. In that case, about six-hundred and forty-eight playing cards. Less suspicious than a bandolier, right?

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I like... uh, playing with my hair, a lot. Twirlin' my finger through it and stuff. I can't help it! Hair is so fun to play with. I'm really glad I have a good batch, 'cause my gramma was a snake, an', she just had this set of wigs she'd wear, and you'd think grandpa, honestly would've caught on to it sooner, 'cause there was like a different color and hairstyle for every day of the week and every kinda weather, too. There were brown ones, and blonde ones, and even a few blue ones, I think...

I...

Oh, and some people say I have trouble paying attention, but I don't know what they're talking about.

...I don't even know.


Part 2: Growing Up

Ah, crap.

Oh, that's not gonna be good.

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
...Nnneehhh...

Ah, pretty f**ked up, man, heh.

16. What is your earliest memory?
Well I got a few, but I'm not sure which is the earliest earliest. There was learning the chao shuffle at daycare, and there was this one time when I really wanted to play with this model airplane my brother had, but he wouldn't let me 'cause he was afraid I'd break it and I started crying... Buuut my favorite is going trick or treating with my dad around the neighborhood. I was a princess. I had a wand!

Just watchin' TV in a dark room. Ma was out at work, and I had to look over the house best a five year old could. Learned a lotta sh** from the TV. Cooking channel, especially.

17. How much schooling have you had?
Well, I... guess as much as anyone else. I mean, well, not anyone else. I finished High School.

Yeap. Home of the Dare Devils.

18. Did you enjoy school?
Not... nnnnnyeh. No, actually, I'm gonna have to say I didn't. I mean, some of it was cool, and then some of it wasn't, y'know?

School's cool, man, there's girls in school. If you're lucky and smart enough, it can take you places.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Whell not f**kin' school, I'll tell ya that.

Uhh... wwwell, mostly from myself, really. Guess that explains a lot.

I learned a lot of lessons from a lot a places, but the most important ones were from my grandfather. Helluva guy. The thing with the cards? A frustrated night on the school's sports field with a bucket fulla baseballs.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
My dad, for a while. Then nobody... and then Danny.

Me? I'm your role model?

Well yeah, why not? You're cool.

Yeah, sure. But I don't love you because you're me.

...oh.

Well... anyway. I've already talked about my gran'pa. Next question.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Oh, God. Danny, can you go first for this one? I need to think.

Sure, sure. Mine's easy. Dad I didn't know, prolly slug 'im if I ever saw him, but that's all he's worth. Loved my ma, loved my grandpa, and my grandma was kinda... out of it for as long as I really ever knew her. But, I guess I got along with her all the same.

...Sorry, Caz, you're up.

Okay... My dad was awesome... my brother was, distant... and my mom... was, mean. Will that work?

That'll work.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An astron-- wait, no, not really. I wanted to be a singer, or a dancer, or something. Kinda still do, really... Oh, it's a fantasy I'll never be free of.

My goal at twelve? Live to be thirteen. I didn't really plan for the future. Guess I got lucky.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
A lotta the same ones as today, actually. But in elementary, the playground swing was my best friend ever. I could literally just sit there and swing until it was dinner time. I had one in my backyard, actually. Swung till the branches holding it broke.

Eh, lotta stupid s**t. Hang out with my homeboys and do something illegal. Often involving several kinds of smoke. This one kid, Twister or something, kidnapped somebody's chao and then returned it when they posted a reward. Was funny s**t back then, but... now it's just sad. Think he's in jail, now. Drugs.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Kinda quiet. But also really goofy. Like, weird goofy. You dig? Like, rolling around on the classroom floor, kinda goofy. Making things silly just kinda how I handled things, I guess.

Impulsive. Apathetic... I guess kinda, cold, really. "Inappropriate" was the favorite word of my teachers and principals, but that was just 'cause I got a kick out of screwing over authority.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
Neehh, very yes, and very no. Very complicated. I was kinda like the class clown, so everyone knew me, right? Almost everyone in the whole school. But, I didn't know any of them, even their first names. They'd walk by and see me and say something like, "Hey Caz, do a dance!" or something like that. And, I'd do this little jig, and they'd get a little laugh, and then they'd walk off, laughing. Aaand, that was kind of it...

I had a lotta friends in the special ed classes where I was. Not that I was stupid, and neither were a lotta kids in there. Just didn't know how to handle school. This one hyena guy, Jazz, he was actually really smart, just born in the wrong neighborhood. Me an' him were total homies for a few years. Had a rhyme book full of lyrics, an' said he was gonna be a huge rap star. Then, his senior year, he got hauled off to prison for tryin' to run off with his girlfriend, one year underaged. Still wonder about him, sometimes...

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
This really... really eccentric guy in eighth grade. I later found out he was actually certifiable, but at the time, I was just thrilled that I had a boyfriend. It was the end of school for the week, and we were just standing in the classroom, talking about something I can't remember. And when we finished, he was just, bam, with his face all up in my grill... and his tongue, too.

And I wish I could say it was totally gross, and I threw him off me and never saw him again, but... I actually did, kind of enjoy it. Just 'cause it finally happened, y'know? But, I have come to realize that it is faaarr more enjoyable with... that special someone.

Ah... some girl at a party. I think I was just drunk enough to remember she had blue fur before I barfed all over her. Eheheh.

27. Are you a virgin?
uuuuhhhh

Thaaat'd be a no.

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.
...What?

I knew it.

Caz, this is a question on a survey, this doesn't prove anything, it's probably just a joke.

Iiiii knew it.

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
That's a pretty good question, I guess. I'm gonna say, 'When I stopped acting like a douchebag'.

Hm. Hm. ...Aahhh, there's no way to say this without sounding a little corny, but. 'Meeting Ace'.

Oh, wha--? Now I feel guilty about my choice.

Oh, no no nonono, yours is really good. Really.

...

30. Who has had the most influence on you?
Grampa Gordon... Didn't we already go over this?

Yeah, I... I think we did, actually. Role models are kinda the same thing.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Say what you want, I still think getting out of Westside on its own is a big deal.

Hm! Hm!

32. What is your greatest regret?
That's... not somethin' I wanna get into right now, a'right?

Mm-mph...

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Oooo-ooof. Evil? S**t, make me out to be some kinda heartless mother... Look I put the hurt on a few guys, in more ways than one, and some more deserving than others... But man, I don't take surveys for questions like this. Don't take surveys at all, usually.

Weeeell I skipped on a lotta classes a few years back, gave the teachers a real hard time... But I never did anything, y'know just for the hell of it!

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

It- it's really small! Really!

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
I... nnnno, I'd rather not answer that, if that's okay. But, it involved the threat of violence...

Prolly the same thing she's thinking.

T'heh.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Ahh... Well, back at my old house, when it was really late at night, and just before I went to bed, I would always, uh, sing to myself. I'd get my little CD Player, and put on my favorite album, walk to the opposite end of the house from where my mom was sleeping in this little corner, and sing a song of my choosing. Y'know? Innocent... little fun.

Well, one night, her boyfriend of the week got in a fight with her and punched a hole in the door to her room, and so we took it off, and suddenly there was no sound protection, right? Well, late one night I was singing this real cheesy love song, sliding, twirlin' across the linoleum floor and then, suddenly I spin around the corner an' then, WAM, there she is, like, right in my face. And I guess her reaction wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but maaan oh man, my heart leaped up into my throat so fast I swear I coulda spit it up on the floor. Felt like I couldn't look at her for a week...

Aaauuhhh, heh. I dunno if I'm allowed to elaborate on it, but, I was at my grampa's house when I first discovered Pay-Per-View...

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

...Nothing. Nothing, really. I mean, for all the $%@& I pulled, and the crap we both went through... However it worked out, I'm here, right now. And all things considered, here is pretty damn good.

...Yeah. Yeah, I guess that works.

38. What is your best memory?
Weeeeell. My mom kicked me out... kicked me outta the house, and it was really cold outside, and starting to rain, too. And I was just really scared, really, 'cause it's the middle of the Westside mainland and way past curfew. So I called Ace. I called Danny on a payphone, and I think I woke him up asking him to come pick me up.

...And I'm-I'm trying to ignore all the... uncomfortable looks I'm getting everywhere, when suddenly he steers in from around the corner like a crazy man. And he takes me to his place. Since it was rainin' by then, I... I needed a shower. But...

An' I heard cryin' in the bathroom...

I know it sounds like my worst memory, but. Really. It got a lot better.

39. What is your worst memory?
Aahhh... Hearin' the news about my dad. Car crash...

Ouh, that's a tough choice, 'tween my mom's funeral an' my grandpa's. Hey thanks for reminding us about this, by the way. Asshole.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

Believe I'm about ready for this $%@& to be over...

Now, c'mon Ace, I'm sure that was the worst part...

Neuhhh.

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Maaaan, you wouldn't think an optimist would come out of inner-city Westside, would you? But, here I am...

...Hyyeah. Years and years ago, an old friend of mine told me something. She said that there was always a chance. For good, or bad. And I don't like playing favorites, but. Pessimism makes for a pretty sh**ty life, I think.

41. What is your greatest fear?
Y'know, I've actually thought about this before. Being... forgotten. Like, waking up one day, and then suddenly nobody knows you. I, I know, it's like pure fantasy, but. Still.

Wow. That's pretty good. I'm still gonna have to go with losing you, though.

Haaawh.

42. What are your religious views?
Religious...? Well... Waiting to find out, I guess.

I've thought about this, too. From a scientific standpoint, 'cause I'm so smart. Things... Everything makes just, too much sense for there not to be something out there. Like, the whole system of life. It works too well, I think, to be random. You know? Ah, it's hard for me to explain...

43. What are your political views?
Experience has taught me to never trust a politician.

Seriously.

Mm, but for the actual views, I think me and him are a bit on the open minded side, if y'know what I mean. Yeah.

44. What are your views on sex?

Oh, it's a blast, hahahaha! Oooohh God, I knew this question was coming. How do I do this... Eheh. Umm... It's-- t'heh, it's great, wha', whaddya want me to say? I'm flesh and blood... No, okay. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. And if that's the case, then what on Earth were you doing?

Snhx, amhhfmhmhmhm. It's uh... Heh! Feels good, man. Heheh. Ooh, s**t.

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

Oh, well. That's sobering, t'ch... Uhmmm... Uuuhh... Well I'd let Ace do it, how 'bout that? Heh... ...No, no that's not perfectly true... Oh, this is hard.

It's always hard, making choices like that. To kill someone is to take away everything somebody had, but worse than that, everything somebody might have had. But if you gotta make the decision, then... I dunno. That's that, I guess.

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

Uuuhhh, I dunno. I guess mass murder is generally frowned upon. Blowing up a bus full of nuns, or something... I mean it's all really the same stuff, just, different variations on it.

Yeah, that sounds about right... You can get real creative with it if you try.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Well, duh! Yes! Yes, I do. I mean I know it can feel like it takes forever, but. Yes.

Weeeeell I dunnooo...

Oh just tell me you're screwing with me.

Of course I am. The answer is yes, absolutely.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
I think... enjoying yourself. And, y'know, helping others enjoy themselves, if you can.

I think there are a lot of definitions to 'a successful life'. You can be rich and famous, and you can help out a charity fund or something like that... Usually, a living successfully... means you're going beyond the call of just living.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
Wha'... What, my, my true self? What-- what does that...

Caz...

...Mmnff.

I can be open with Ace. I guess, for some reason he ended up sticking around long enough for me to really believe I could be myself with him, and, I know that can take a while for me. And that's just one reason why he's so important to me. But... I'm learning, okay? I'm still in the process...

Hey. That was good. Really.

...Thanks.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Nnnnoooo I don't think so.

Actually? I used to have a thing for avian girls. I dunno why.

Aa-aahhahaha haha.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
Hehehwell that depends on who's asking, eheh, heh. Ahrm. Auh, sorry.

Ah. Hrm. Well. I'd say, probably whatever's up in the most evil thing I could ever do might be the same answer here. Just a guess.

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

Danny.

Part 5: Relationships with Others

Heh.

I'm sensing a great deal of repeat answers for the next few questions.

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?
Hhhmm. Experience has taught me to keep people at arm's length until I know I know them. I guess I'm not a real people person, but I don't hate socializing, either.

Well... yeah. I think, if I treat people nicely, then, they're at least more likely to treat me nice, too! It's worth a shot, at least.

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

Caz.

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

Rock?

Yeah.

Why, though?

Well... He's a tough bastard. Always fights the good fight, doesn't let nothin' stop him. And I respect that.

Huh. I thought for sure you were gonna say your grandpa.

Well, I think the survey's mostly looking for living people...

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Yeah, I guess me an' Rock are bros now, or somethin'. Feels kinda weird, honestly, but y'know, I don't mind. Always good to have someone you can trust. Jam, too, though I almost know nothing about 'er... 'cept that she's got a wicked right hook... And, obviously, Caz here. She's my lady, proof that God loves me, all that good stuff.

Oh, you're too sweet. Of course, Danny's my knight in shining armor. And Rock is like, Mister... Badass McHardcore. But um, actually? I really like Jam. She's all streetwise, she knows what she's doing and, and don't take no $%@& from nobody. She's in a band, even! ...And, honestly, I feel weird if all my friends were guys.

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

Ah, how 'bout I just... lean my head on his shoulder, like this, and make flutter-eyes?

Want me to do it too?

Sure. You might look weird doing it, though.

...
...

...snnnxffh, hhheheheh heh.
...geheheh. Ahm, hmhm. Yeah, okay.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
Well, what can you say? Boy meets girl...

Girl meets boy...

...Boy can't believe his luck...

...Girl falls head over heels...

...Heh. Heheheh. Ah... we-we should, probably save this for... later. For the surveyor's sake.

Mm... Later! Later, yes.

Anyway, the truth is I asked her out on a whim when I saw her singing while making sandwiches in a sub shop. Crazy, right?

Heheheh.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Ooohhh, this I-- I've actually given this a lot of thought, y'know. But before we... got together. And, I had all these crazy crackpot theories of, natural chemistry, studies of men and women... but there's one surefire way of really knowing when you've hit the jackpot: When all the songs make sense. Mhm. That's what I think.

I think the most important thing is friendship. Love is like... a friendship, that's caught on fire. Without friendship in your relationship, there won't be any companionship; you're just lying to yourself. And I could say 'I wish I found out sooner', but, honestly? I'm pretty cool with how things turned out.

60. How close are you to your family?
Oh. Change of pace.

I ain't got any left, man. My family's what I make it.

Me... not really. My mom and I... don't talk much. I honestly don't know if my brother's still alive. I mean, I can't just call them out of the blue, now, but the longer I wait, the more it'll get... even weirder, so. I dunno.

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

Hah, no. When it comes to bein' a man, I'm barely gettin' my feet wet myself.

Mm. I love the idea, myself. Really. But... I don't think either of us are ready for anything like that. It'll have to be a while from now, I think.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
Ace, of course. Or maybe... Jam? Ace is definitely first on my speed dial, though. Or maybe Rock...

Probably... Rock again.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
Protect me? I dunno about that... but I can count on Caz to get my back when I need it. She's pretty tough when she needs to be.

Ace's been my bodyguard for about as long as we've known eachother! If I can't trust him, I'm in pretty sorry shape.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
Caz... Rock. Jam? Somma my homeboys on Westside, though I'm already kinda 'missing' for them.

Ace, Jam, maybe Rock... Rock's dad, probably.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Myself. ...Haaaa, no just kidding. I dunno. Nobody, really. Isn't that a good thing?

Huh. Yeah, I guess I'm enemy-free, lately. 'Nless we count Eggman, but that's kind of a given.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
For the usual s**t? I keep my cool and keep walkin'. But if somebody does somethin' to really piss me off...? Yeah, I'd let 'em know, alright.

Nnneeaah. I reeaally don't like getting into fights with people, but when you say 'avoid', it makes it sound like a bad thing! Shouldn't we all just strive to harmonize with one another? Honestly.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Nah. That kinda machismo never agreed with me. Not that I can't respect my elders or whatever. I'm just not the Mr. Leader kinda guy.

I'm definitely not. I tried, once, too! In a... school play. Tried directing, did not work out.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
...Yyeeaaahh, no. Harder to keep tabs on everything, an' I don't like really loose ends.

You know, you can't really trust somebody to get your back if they're just one of those, you know, dime a dozen friends. Small groups are tighter knit, and I think I much prefer that. Still, always good to have as few strangers as possible...

69. Do you care what others think of you?
Depends on if I care about them. Heh.

I know, I know, I shouldn't measure myself by how others see me. But what can I say? I aim to please.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
Phew! See, now here's a section I can get behind.

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
Aaahh... I got this thing for online poker. Actually. But I've trained myself to make fictional bets. No gambling-- just playing. Aside from that, I love a good movie as much as the next guy, and Caz is always dragging me along to play video games with her. My favorites are the 'nights out', though. Pretty simple, and just as aimless: Go out, see what's the town has to offer, and take it. Most of the time, it's more fun than it sounds.

Meeewwwziiik. Of course. And the vidya gaem. 'Course, if I'm playing online, I can't let anyone know I'm a girl, or they start to act stupid... Aaand I got this nifty little diary I write in, too, when I'm not filling it with potential band names, album names, and song lyrics. Um, but! My favorite thing ever is absolutely, karaoke. It's like the best thing in the world; instant rock star, just add alcohol. I'm trying to get better about singing around, Ace, though. Not that he doesn't like it! He says I'm great, but it's just-- really embarrassing.

71. What is your most treasured possession?
...Well, I really like this shirt. Y'know? Bolt Boar is the s**t. I used to have all these comics of him. I guess if I still had them, they would be it.

Uhm. ...Ace?

...

Oh, is that not an, option...?

Nnnno, I don't think so.

Oh. Well, in that case, my ePod. Definitely. Never leave home without it. I mean unless I'm goin'... underwater, or something. I don't think it's waterproof.

72. What is your favorite color?
Orange just screams at me for some reason... Kinda loud, too. Buuut I also really like purple, as you can tell...

Man, I just never get that. What's the point of having a favorite color? It's dumb. Juvenile!

It's blue.

...Yeah.

73. What is your favorite food?
I could eat nothing but lasagna for a week. I almost did, too, one time.

I'm a bit of an omnivore lately myself, but. I'll always have a weakness for pumpkin pie.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
Iiiii usually just like books on tape. Unless we can include magazines. Can we say magazines?

I think so.

Then I also like music magazines. Or just, general media magazines. Bands, movies, actors, that kinda thing. And actually, men's magazines have some really good articles. Not the sports ones, though, they're boring.

I'll pretty much pick up the same things. Celebrity gossip mags are actually fun to read together too, if only to make cracks about how pathetic they are.

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
...Art? You mean like, lookin' at paintings? I mean, not to sound uncultured, or whatever, but...

Well, I could sift through the galleries on deviousART, if I was bored enough. Maybe somethin' like that.

Eh. Anyway, I guess I'm a... fan of westerns, actually.

And I really dig crime dramas.

Some sick irony, I guess.

Huh?

Nah, nah. Nothin'.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
Aaaauuhhh... thisssss is a... confidential, kinda thing, right?

Look, we blaze every now an' then, and that's the extent of it. We aren't addicts, and we ain't some f**kin' brain-dead potheads, either. Just sometimes a smoke, a good album and some good company can getcha through a s**tty day.

...Hate gettin' all defensive like that...

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
...Heeyyyyy, hold on a second. We already-- yeah, we already answered this one! We just didn't know it. Hold on, lemme find it.

...

...

...

...

...

...Maybe we--

Yeah, number 70! Just take that one and, put it here. That'll work, right?

R-right.

78. What makes you laugh?

Aahhah. I've actually been thinking about this, 'cause I think it's really interesting: I think there are two most basic... origins, of humor. There's the misfortune of others... and contradictions. Expecting one thing, and getting another. The more ridiculous the contradiction, the greater the level of humor is given. It's like its own science!

I dunno. Funny stuff? I'm not easily offended. Hell, I laugh at a lotta s**t I prolly shouldn't laugh at, but at least I know it.

We share a love of flatulence jokes.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Didn't I just say...?

Um... well, there's about two thirds of the folks on deviousART, for starters.

I dunno, man. I've seen enough f**ked up s**t to last a lifetime. It's kinda sad, but even though I can still get weirded out, or disgusted sometimes, I'm kinda... desensitized to a lotta s**t.

I will go on the record saying that I despise... really can't stand it, when people are cruel to, children. Get headaches just thinkin' about it...

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
Depends. If Caz is up, we could both stay up late and regret it together. Maybe I'd just join forces with insomnia and get some coffee ready for an all-nighter. It's happened once before.

Mmm... probably nothing really cool sounding. I might get on the TV and play a few games at a reasonable volume. Or if I was smart, I could hop on the net and look for ways to cure insomnia.

...And if all else fails, me and Ace could both stay up late and regret it together. It's so nice being in a city where you can go out late at night and not have to be afraid for it!

81. How do you deal with stress?
Walks. I go out for walks. The lengths depending on the level of stress. I've found myself in some interesting places, thanks to it. Met some interesting people.

I just... try not to pay it much mind. I guess I don't really handle stress as well as I could. I try and do... fun things, and take my mind off it. If it's really bad, then, I don't know... Probably just throw myself on the bed and listen to sad music until I cry it out. I'm way too lucky to have Ace help me out nowadays, so I to be strong for his sake.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Plans are generally not my thing. That said, I don't think Caz would mind me saying I'm the more organized of the two of us.

Nnno, I do not. Hell, I'm not even sure what day it is today. Is it Tuesday?

Monday.

Y'see? Where would I be without you?

83. What are your pet peeves?
Wannabe gangsters... Overzealous cops... Grand Metropolis drivers...

I hate really... negative people. People who never laugh, they're like... always dissapointed. Or always miserable, who never even learned how to count their lucky stars. I mean, I can usually tell when people are just being facetious about it, but when they aren't, it just really rustles my jimmies.

...Heh.

And, damp socks.

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?
Well, I'm not the best at describing these, but... Wake up. Get outta bed... Don't even bother with a comb. Take as long a shower as humanly possible. Begrudgingly and woefully leave the shower. Get dressed, eat breakfast, brush muh teef, all that good stuff. Take the bus to the recording station (since Ace is usually still asleep [I can't blame him, it's a really early-morning job]), and pretend I'm a DJ for a few hours. Get a ride back from Ace, and-- free time. Or, that's how it would go, anyway, if we weren't out adventuring all the time. It's disorienting, but it's not ruining my mood or anything. I kinda like it, actually. Makes my life seem like a movie.

I'll say this right now, I'll never be the morning person Caz is. That's some kinda gift... Or mutation.

Hey!

Oh, no, I-- I mean it in a good way.

I am not a mutant.

Anyway, I'm not usually as structured in the first place. Most of my time was spent looking for a job that isn't 'professional freeloader', but our time spent looking for these emeralds is a nice break. Used t'be a line cook at Grizzlebee's, actually. ...Miserable little s**thole. But I guess in Central City their a little more stingy about ex-crooks as cooks. Like, what the f**k? Am I gonna work my ass off for a position in your little cafe just to spit in the biscuits? S**t...

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
Well I know it's not praising myself.

As a person? Damn, man, I dunno. I've been called tenacious. Adamant was the word my grandpa used.

Well. People always say I'm funny, which is nice. Some of even them say I'm witty, which is even better! And Ace says I have a big heart. Which makes me blush.

86. What is your greatest weakness?
...I guess I'm quick on the trigger to judge people. And I make people work to get in my little circle of trust. But man, after Casino Park, I just couldn't afford to be naive anymore.

...Passive. Too passive. Scared, sometimes. Of a lot of things.


87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I was more... self-reliant, I guess? No, that's not the right word. 'Independent' isn't it, either. But sometimes I feel really guilty, that... I've never really, grown up. I think I'm just scared to. And I'm scared of what it might take to make me start doing something about it...

Iunno. Considering how things could be, I'm pretty alright with myself so far. ...But I guess that sounds pretty conceited. Well, I know I need to quit smoking, for starters. Need to start gettin' my head in the game, too. Adventure-wise. Maybe I'm just too lax sometimes.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Aaahh, I'm not really sure, actually. You might think I'm extroverted, but a lot of me being outgoing is just me throwing myself out blind before I know what I'm doing. But to keep things simple, we'll say I'm... both.


...Ah, that's not simple at all.

I don't think everyone's gotta be straight up intro or extro. We all have our good days and bad days. For me? It's just hard to care about people I don't care about, y'know?

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
...Kind of a slob.

I know. He leaves the microwave door open and the-- and the butter, just, out, and it just drives me nuts. ...I've learned to live with it, though.

Hey, I help when it's time to clean!

It's funny, though. I can seem to keep every part of the apartment nice and tidy except for all of my stuff. Clothes, gadgets, everything like that is just laying around there in whatever spot is most convenient.

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

...

...Danny, I need a third one.

Neglecting her boasts.

No, that's not what I'm looking for.

You asked.

Alright then, Mister Bigstuff, why don't you amaze me with your fantastic skillz.

Well, I can put up with you, for one.

Alright, I'll give ya that.

Jokes aside. I can cook. I can handle myself in 'times of confrontation'. And uh... I'm pretty lucky when it comes to card games. Even if I'm not cheating.

I'm bad at... handling money, I guess. In general. (Caz is actually pretty good at that herself.) I'm not the booksmartest guy in the world. And I can't keep track of time worth a s**t. That's bitten me in the ass more times than one.

Okay, okay. I can... sing. Yeap. And, I'm actually a pretty good driver. Aaaaand... I dunno. Lightening the mood?. Does that even count? I'm not bad with technology!

I'm bad at taking the lead on things, 'cause I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm bad at standing still. And I'm bad at comforting people, when they're sad about something. And I only mention that because of how awful it feels when it happens. Really awful.


91. Do you like yourself?

Hey, what's a little self-loathing every now and then.

Caz...

Alright, alright... no, I mean-- I'm okay with myself! All things considered I could be a lot worse off. If I didn't have my world-famous sense of humor, things might be a little drearier. Everyone wishes they could be something more... but, yeah. For the most part, I'm cool. We cool.

I think I'm about as okay with myself as I think I'll ever be. There are times when I kick myself over something stupid-- always will be. In the end, though, me and myself have a nice working relationship.

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...)

((OOC: THIS IS RETARDO AND I AM SKIPPING IT))

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

Gosh, I just don't know, now. I mean, I survived Westside, I've moved in with my sweetie... maybe to find out? Oh, that's such a lame answer. I-- I guess I just wanna do something... big. I don't even know, just what, whether it's singing for the president or, or saving the world, but... Oh, I don't know what I'm saying. Danny, take it from here, would you?

Well, I should prolly get a steady job...

...You're really reachin' for the stars, aren't ya?

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Still without a finished survey

Dude. I gotta be honest witcha. I've been around for some seriously outlandish $%@&. The whole world's kinda been on fire for th'past few years, but the world keeps on spinnin' no matter what you do it. An' you know, I'm running with a pack a' wildcards who put out two fires, an' start five. So I figure, even if I wanted to get out, y'know? Call it quits. Leave the adventuring to, Rock an' Jam, everyone else-- I'd still get thrown into the mess some way or another.

...

So. T'be honest? I got no idea where I'm goin', man. An' I know that sounds kinda hopeless, but... not a word of that changes what's right and wrong. 'Cause there ain't nothin' you can do in the world but what you can do. So I'm gonna do good.

...Gran'pa taught me that.

...Welp. I'm with him. And... I guess that's why. Heh.

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

Parachute mishap. Pfff, no, that would be terrible. Uuhh... Hold on lemme think.

I wanna say somethin' really cool like, Mexican Standoff or somethin'. But those never end cool, if I was the one dyin'. Y'know what, let's say I die saving the world, somehow. Like, a noble sacrifice, or somethin', maybe.

...Man, I hope I didn't just jinx myself.

Yeah, me too. Okay, I've got mine. I would like to die... very peacefully... in bed. After the most mind-blowing love-making session of my entire life. At age... eighty... four. Yeah.

...Well-- s**t, can I have hers?

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

You might be surprised how often I'd considered this on my own.

Mm.

Well, okay. I'm gonna cross one off the list for both of us and say that we'd both wanna spend some, quality time. ...With, eachother. Am I right?

Heh. Well... yeah. Yeah.

Of course. So number two for me. I'd have to say goodbye to all my friends... I mean, I know I'd hate it every step of the way, absolutely. But the friends I have mean so much to me. Jam, Rock, the guys at the radio station... And, three.

Well, I guess more time with Ace. Er, I mean-- not that kinda time! I mean, just a night out... Probably not a movie, 'cause I wouldn't wanna chance seeing a crappy movie on the day I die, but. A night out would be nice. I'd ask for fireworks and a full moon, too, but now I'm just being romantic.

...Yep, that sounds about right. I'm gonna have to steal her answer for this one.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
She was the first female president... to head a world-famous rock band... Who won the Angell Peace Prize. With the ability to see through walls. Who also wrote a... really f-famous book, or something. And was a real swell gal. With a sweet hatOookay, I think that's enough, Caz.

Okay.


98. What three words best describe your personality?

Hm. Umm, well. Cheery... Jovial... ...Childish? Ngh. I don't like this question...

Uhpkfff... I don't, f***in'... Mister Cool Guy, how 'bout that? Yeah. I'm Mister Cool Guy. Dig it.


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

Short, fat, and proud. Of that. Heheh.

...No, not really, but... man, I dunno what people think a' me...! Everyone thinks I'm the funny jokester-girl, so... Yeah, there. Funny jokester girl. Ha-ha.

That, guy... with-the-cards. There, I f***in' hyphenated it. Three words.

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...)

Ace, I think you'd be a real fun guy to hang with if you'd ever let me. You might be a guy with a tight circle of friends, but sooner or later, you're gonna wanna open up to people you're unfamiliar with. Despite what you may think Not everyone you don't know is out to get you.

Caz... you're a good girl, really. You're friendly, outgoing, and even though you probably hate hearing it, you're very charming. Cute, even. But you can't keep relying on others forever. At some point, you're going to have to learn some level of independence. Realize your own worth, and accept the fact that can be just as smart as anyone else if you want to be. You're worth taking seriously.



Is... is that it? Are we done? All one hundred questions.

Yeah, it... looks like. Huh.

Man. That took for-ever!

No kiddin'. Even I'm glad it's over.
