Jumping on the meme bandwagon

bouteillebleuBecause a lot of people on my friends list are doing this at the moment:
1. Choose a few of your own characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself.
4. Tag whoever you feel like to do this. (Up to you, guys.)
1. Who are you?
Sophie Glover, private in the XIVth regiment of the Wessex Army. Friends call me Sophie. Rest of the squad calls me Softy.
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Dunno. Guess my dad could have had other kids somewhere. Ma never had any other kids, though.
3. How old are you?
Good question. Couldn't count over 20 until this year, so... between 20 and 30, I guess.
4. What's your height?
5'6" or so.
5. Are you a virgin?
Yeah.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
I'm guessing you don't mean "mates" as in "friends" here, so... nobody.
7. Do you have any kids?
No.
8. What's your favorite food?
Good steak, or good sausages (and I've had pretty bad sausages before). Or bacon - good for breakfast on campaign when you can get a pig.
9. Have you killed anyone?
'Course I have. Been on campaign in Gaul and Cymru for a while, after all.
10. Have any secrets?
Maybe one or two.
11. Do you love anyone?
Got a lot of good friends I'd be sorry to see die.
12. What is your job?
Private in the Wessex Army. Guard for the Laundresses' Guild. Breaker-up of bar fights in the name of, er, law and order. Sometimes.
13. Boy or girl?
Girl, I guess. Dunno what you're asking.
14. What do you do to relax?
Drink, joke, start bar fights, break up bar fights, try to stop Bones getting broken in bar fights.
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
Punch 'em. Usually stops the teasing.
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
...if it ain't going to help, and not tellin' them wouldn't hurt, why bother?
17. What do you regret most in life?
I wish Vlad hadn't gone crazy and got religion, but nothing I could have done about that.
One thing I could've done, though, was say goodbye to Piers before he left. I'll miss him.
18. Do you like your maker?
Now that sounds like a scholar's question. Try asking a mage.
1. Who are you?
Mary, Journeyman Voidwalker of the College of Darkness in Grantabrugge. In theory.
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yes - an older brother, a younger sister, and two younger brothers (they're twins).
Ann's married with children. It feels odd knowing that. I hope the family are all right - I haven't been back since the, ah, issues with Edgar's ritual.
3. How old are you?
Twenty-six.
4. What's your height?
5'6".
5. Are you a virgin?
...no.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
Rupert Salter. He is - was - a good man. He's dead.
He died saving me. I wish I didn't sometimes feel like it might have been a waste.
7. Do you have any kids?
No. I might have liked to have them had I got married, but...
8. What's your favorite food?
I've grown rather fond of the Dark College's hall food, even if it is usually somewhat dubious.
I like my mother's cooking the most, I think.
9. Have you killed anyone?
I have indirectly been the cause of the death of an Elemental Lord and three powerful mages, one of whom I cared for deeply.
I have not directly killed anyone. Having claws may change the likelihood of this happening in the future.
10. Have any secrets?
Fewer than I had a month ago. I'm somewhat thankful for this. Experience has taught me that keeping too many secrets can lead to people dying because they didn't know enough.
11. Do you love anyone?
Yes.
And yes, I'm quite aware he's dead.
12. What is your job?
Currently, trying to save the universe and not die or be murdered in the process.
My approach to this involves spending more time in the lab than most of the other mages I know who are saving the world, as in my experience, stepping outside the lab is a sure way to get yourself killed.
I mean, look what happened the last time I left off research to try to do something useful. We're still picking up the pieces from that.
13. Boy or girl?
I'm not sure what this question is asking. I'm female, if that's what it means.
14. What do you do to relax?
...at the moment, I don't, much. Going to the Wessex Arms these days isn't so much "relaxation" as "talking to people and avoiding death".
I should probably stop sleeping on the floor of my lab. Even a good cloak can't make those floors comfortable.
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
Be sarcastic. And think about how useful Lightning Bolt might be if I didn't actually care so much.
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
This isn't going to happen, I'm afraid.
Also, in the highly unlikely event it ever were to happen, the fact that I look like a sodding demon at the moment would put something of a block on the likelihood of anything ever going on.
Unless you're the sort of bizarre person who finds that sort of thing attractive. In which case, imagine here a long list of improbable and disgusting things you can go and do to yourself instead of bothering me.
17. What do you regret most in life?
That in the last two months of his life I saw Rupert for a total of about half an hour.
18. Do you like your maker?
As best I know from planar theory, humans don't have a "maker" - soul-stuff falls down from Origin and the Prime catches it, where it ends up in newborn sentient beings.
If you're asking me what I think about the gods, well... they can do what they like.
Except Balance. He, she or it can just fuck right off.
1. Who are you?
Ellie Starshine Rivers. Well, my full name's Eloise, but usually I only get called that when someone's about to tell me off for something.
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yup, I have five. There's Stella, she's stuck-up, Arthur, who's nice, Toby and Oscar who're still quite young, and Lucie, who's awesome and not-dating a drow called Sam.
3. How old are you?
Eighty-one. I'll be eighty-two this year.
4. What's your height?
5'6" or so.
5. Are you a virgin?
Um, no. Haven't been for a while.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
...he's not really a mate or a spouse, he's my boyfriend. And he's currently on the run from the law.
7. Do you have any kids?
No. And if having kids means you have to be like my sister Stella then I don't want them.
8. What's your favorite food?
Chilli. Also spicy salads.
9. Have you killed anyone?
Yes, and I really wish I hadn't. It wouldn't have been bad if he'd been a zombie, but he wasn't.
10. Have any secrets?
I don't think so.
11. Do you love anyone?
Yeah, I do. Apparently he's an attempted murderer, and... I want to know why he did it. He must have had a good reason to try, right?
12. What is your job?
Apprentive at the College of Fire. I set things on fire and learn how to set things more on fire.
Oh, and I'm learning how to fight too.
13. Boy or girl?
Me? I'm a girl.
Who I like? Boys. Well, young men, I guess. I have some good friends who are girls, but, um, I wouldn't go to bed with them.
That thing with Kallestra was really kind of confusing. She's nice, though.
14. What do you do to relax?
Set things on fire, especially Daramin. He likes it.
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
See question 14.
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
Say it to them, of course.
Then see question 14.
17. What do you regret most in life?
...killing that man by mistake.
18. Do you like your maker?
If you mean my parents, yes.
If you mean the elemental Lord Kakatal, well... yes. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't set things on fire. *grins*
1. Who are you?
Pristis ex Guernicus, filius Marius.
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
If you mean in the mundane sense, no.
If you mean in the Order, theoretically yes, but I have not met with them; my pater had an interesting attitude towards his apprentices, and most of them left Magvillus after their gauntlet.
3. How old are you?
From when I was born, 45 years, I believe.
From when I was inducted into the Order, 36 years.
By appearance, 39 years.
4. What's your height?
5'8".
5. Are you a virgin?
Yes.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
I have none. Circumstances make it somewhat... difficult, and I also do not have much interest in it.
7. Do you have any kids?
See question 6.
8. What's your favorite food?
The cook at Magvillus was quite excellent; I'd rather like to try his cooking again someday.
9. Have you killed anyone?
I have slain some of the Fae in the forest near our covenant, but they hardly count. So far, I have not been forced to sentence anyone to death. I pray that circumstances never force me to do so.
10. Have any secrets?
One rather obvious one, which is not so much a "secret" as I am willing to reveal it if needed. However, it would cause needless trouble most of the time.
11. Do you love anyone?
Other than loving my fellow man as a good Christian, I don't believe so.
12. What is your job?
Head Quaesitor of the Rhine Tribunal. Investigative mage of our covenant. Also, apparently, getting my ribs broken frequently.
13. Boy or girl?
Now, that's a rather interesting question. The answer depends on whether my pater is nearby, and "nearby" usually means "currently in the same tribunal". He is likely to be furious if he hears the answer "girl", even though it is probably more accurate.
...As I said, circumstances are somewhat difficult.
14. What do you do to relax?
Read. Listen to my sodales squabble. Covenant meetings can be quite amusing sometimes.
Especially when Arne sets the drapes on fire.
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
Keep smiling. Sooner or later they'll slip up...
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
I haven't given thought to this before; it would depend on the situation.
17. What do you regret most in life?
...recalling a judgement on a case wrongly and mis-calling accordingly. I rather hope Marius never hears about that.
Occasionally I regret the fact that we let Bibulus out in public.
I have had one experience in Twilight which was actually quite enlightening, and which I don't regret, though it did result in broken bones.
18. Do you like your maker?
Of course.
1. Who are you?
My name's Aurora!
2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
I had a lot of brothers and sisters back on Cinnibar.
3. How old are you?
Um. Wow, probably about 4 or so?
4. What's your height?
2 feet or so. Average for a Growlithe.
5. Are you a virgin?
No.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
Peppy!
7. Do you have any kids?
Yup.
8. What's your favorite food?
Hmm. Rattata's quite nice, especially fresh.
9. Have you killed anyone?
Only for food.
10. Have any secrets?
Not that I can remember.
11. Do you love anyone?
Of course. Peppy, and our children.
12. What is your job?
Um. I guess "being a Growlithe" is kind of a job. I used to have a trainer, but that was years ago.
13. Boy or girl?
I'm female.
14. What do you do to relax?
Play with Peppy, play with the pups, talk, run around, chase things...
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
Tease them back, but don't be mean while doing it.
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
Um, talk to them.
17. What do you regret most in life?
...running away from my trainer. I still don't like rain, but I'm getting better...
18. Do you like your maker?
She seems nice.
1. Choose a few of your own characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.

Date: 2008-03-05 01:54 am (UTC)Mary was mostly aiming this at Mickey the pervy xenophile. :)
Though she does have, uh, unresolved issues with attraction to demons that I don't think she's likely to work through for a while. If ever.

Date: 2008-03-05 10:23 am (UTC)Also, Mary's is really rather sad. :( *fluffles the emo mage, for what it's worth*
no subject
Date: 2008-03-05 05:12 pm (UTC)Mary's not quite as broken as I thought when she answered the questions.
Also, yeah, Sophie needs to get over her crush at some point. I just don't think she has any idea what to do about it, so she's fairly happy just ignoring it for now.
