101 Questions You Should Be Able to Answer About Your Character
Basics
1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
My full name is Aleksey Kantha Faro Lementha. In the human world I go by an alias, Alexis Liam Winthrop. Most people though, just call me Lexi.
2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
In Elva years I am only about 23 years old. Translate that to human years and one can get easily overwhelmed, for I am 939. My birthday is July 29th.
3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
I was born on the isle of Great Britain before it was technically called that, but now I live in upstate New York. And am I patriotic? God save the queen.
4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My parents, may they rest in peace, passed when I was only seven Elva years old. Me mum was Marrin and I remember her being warm and comforting. Me dad was Padraith and I recall him always smelling good and smiling a lot. Liked to carry me about on his shoulders, he did.
5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Sadly, I am an only child, but I was not spoiled like many others whose parents' indulge their every whim. I have over the years obtained many non-biological family members, however.
6. What is your occupation?
For almost two years I owned an antique shop *cough cough*, courtesy of the Warlock Councilman of London, Mr. Sterling de Sorcalobo. Now and before that? Professional vagabond. *shrug*
7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
I'm a cool 6'4" and weigh only a meager 160 pounds...and that's on a good day. Yes, I am a right beanpole, friends.
8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
My hair is naturally red. And I do mean RED, dearies, though for shiggles I threw some black streaks in. My eyes are lime green.
9. What is your race?
I'm a hybrid and general freak of nature, no pun intended...no seriously; I'm half sun-elf, half fire-elemental. The latter is what my last name - Faro Lementha - can be translated to.
10. To which social class do you belong?
I am happily a dreg of society, friends.
11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
Personally? I consider myself a tall, emaciated stickly sop with a big nose and knobby limbs. Others seem to find me scrumptious however. *raises hands* I DO NOT get this.
12. What is your style of dress?
*Grins* I call my personal style junk...punk with a mix of the old jazz scruffiness. I don't forget from whence I came though, loves. The Union Jack is usually present wherever I am.
13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
*chuckles* Well if you don't count the bloody ridiculous pointed ears...scars yes, I sport quite a few of them, and tattoos I also have, though they're sort of a part of my elemental makeup. Don't ask. Complicated rubbish.
14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
We elves don't get allergies coming from the earth and being a part of nature's chemistry, however, if you count the Drow a disease, then oh yes, I've got that...and I'm addicted to nicotine. Sadly, elvish immune systems to such things are shit. Huzzah.
15. Are you right or left-handed?
Right.
16. What does your voice sound like?
Heh. Someone told me once that I sounded like Ewan McGregor. I suppose that's accurate enough. *shrug* I've also been told I sound like H.I.M. frontman Ville Valo when I sing. Whee.
17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
A mix of British particulars, modern slang, and Elva.
18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
I can light cigarettes with naught but my finger, I've got eyebrow, nose, and nipple piercings, and my Adam's apple sticks out like a sore thumb. *sigh*
19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
Lol, I bathe when I can, which out in the wilderness has never been that much. I suppose you could just call me a hippie and be done with it. I'll not argue the title.
20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
I like to call it the Cheshire cat grin.
21. Do you use body language? How?
I gesticulate when I speak a lot. Gives these gangly limbs something to do other than be awkward. *waves arms around languidly*
22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
Love, hugs, and gropes, baby.
Childhood
23. What is your earliest memory?
One of my fondest memories was story time with other children in my home village. One of the teenage earth elementals, Tesha, used to sit about and entertain us. My, those were glorious times.
24. How much schooling have you had? Did you enjoy it?
I've had infinite schooling in the university of street smarts; academically speaking, I've got only what I've managed to learn throughout my wanderings.
25. Where did you learn most of your knowledge and skill?
On the streets, as mentioned, and from my friends and mentors that have kept me alive. I can't say they were exactly reputable figures, but they did their best.
26. How would you describe your childhood in general?
I don't swear often, but absolute shit after the age of seven. Before that, it was grand.
27. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be like the patriarch of our village, a bloke named Demnas if I recall correctly, because he was a fire elemental like myself and was always greatly admired.
28. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Haha, my first kiss was with a werewolf. No kidding. Her name's Gwyndolyn - Gwynn - and she's still one of my closest friends. Not exactly the shining example of femininity though.
Hell, I'm more feminine!
29. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Oh dear, getting into this topic finally. *hangs head sheepishly* No, I'm not a virgin, I lost my virginity at fourteen with a much older lady named Nadine McAllister who pretty much seduced me. She was a pirate captain - again, I kid thee not. Yes, I've known some characters in my life.
30. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? Does that affect you?
Well, yes. Faroth, the elemental god of fire whose power can directly be linked to me. Someone called me a demi-god once because of it. I dunno if I'd go anywhere near that far, but it affects me everyday.
Influences
31. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
The massacre of my home village when I was seven that slaughtered everyone I knew and loved. From that point on, my entire lifestyle and way of thinking had to change.
32. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Haha, seriously? Living this long. I'm a hunted man, you know.
33. What is your greatest regret?
*taps finger to lip* Well, of the many, I'd have to say the greatest is never being able to truly release my romantic side. I've never been able to afford it, only cheap one-night stands trying to find warmth and a false sense of comfort for a night...
34. What is the most embarrassing or shameful thing ever to happen to you?
Oh dearie me... I'd have to say following a drunken pedophile home when I was nine and stupid and nearly being used by said slimy codpiece. Yep. That was dumb.
35. Do you have any secrets? If so, what are they?
But to divulge such things wouldn't make them secrets anymore, now would it? No, no it would not? Thus, nice try. *finger*
36. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
*funny face* I don't know.... if I had to say, it would be taking advantage of a few women when I was younger and much less prudent.
37. When was the time you were the most frightened?
Being seven years old and watching my home be destroyed by frightening creatures that blended into the night but had starlight for hair and who answered to a gluttonous reptilian mistress...
38. Have you ever traveled outside of your country? If so, to where?
Oh I've been all over the place. Most of Europe, save Portugal and Scandinavia, (Don't like cold weather), and now I'm living in America.
Beliefs
39. What is your alignment?
I suppose the most hardcore heathen one can encounter. I am descended from what would be considered a heathen god, after all. Does that sound arrogant? Oh god, I hope not.
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
I try to remain optimistic about things, but I admit I've become jaded to a great many things. Outright pessimism just gets one down though, and I don't have the luxury to mope about.
41. Do you believe in a god? If so, which one and why?
I believe I've covered this...
42. Do you believe in an afterlife?
The misty seas surrounding the Elva afterlife realm of Etherian.
43. What is your greatest fear?
Never truly being free from those who hunt me. Having to run for the rest of my bloody life.
44. What makes your character angry? Sad? Happy? Why?
What makes me angry? Ungrateful, spoiled children and the parents who made them that way. Why? Because it sickens me. Sad? Memories of all the people I've known and lost over the years along with my predicament? Why? Because I've known some smashing people and I've outlived them all, plus I don't want to have to live in fear for the rest of my life. Happy? My current friends and new home? Why? Because you dames and gents rock.
45. Do you think people are basically good or basically evil?
I think people are a primal being like anything else on this planet that were given the ability to communicate, and therefore interpret.
46. What are your views on politics? Religion? Sex?
Politics? A joke. Just watch Parliament and you'll understand what I mean. Religion? Believe what you want, there's no wrong or right. Sex? Make sure there's a connection or common ground, whether its simply pleasure or emotionally more involved. Just make sure you won't regret it.
47. What are your views on gambling, lying, theft, and killing?
Oh wow, we're getting into the meaty questions now. Gambling, I don't care. Piss your money away if you want, I find it pointless. Lying has its uses, but I don't generally condone it. Theft, same answer. Killing? I'm a lover, not a fighter, folks. Call me whatever you want, but I'm against taking a life. I've seen too much of it in my life.
48. How far will you go to defend your beliefs?
Depends on the beliefs, but really, I don't give a hoot what others think.
49. How much do you value money?
Money is not worth what so many have done for it over the years. Its paper, lovies, that's all. In my opinion, it should have remained a tree.
50. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
Kill entire families for a self-serving - and hopeless - purpose.
51. Do you believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good?
Sure, and I know I've been running for my life since I was seven, but what the Drow want to sacrifice me to is NOT a greater good. *shakes head*
52. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
I do. Lexi = romantic sap. Haha.
53. Are you superstitious?
I am in places, but its mostly precautionary because I do have a fear of karma.
54. How much do you respect the beliefs and opinions of others?
Greatly. Its good to have such things and be rooted in them.
55. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
I try to be honest, but there are some things not meant for the public to know.
56. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I'd say the Drow have earned my prejudice. And I'm biased towards women *wink* Haha.
Dealing With Others
57. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Oh wow. I can't pick just one. I'm indebted to the entire populace of Enchantment's Grove. *bows*
58. Who is the person you respect the most? Despise the most? Why?
Haha, I think out of everyone I have to say I respect Dima the most. Everyone seems to respect him, but he's just that cool of a cat, and he's been through hell without killing someone who deserved it. I commend that. Despise? That one's easy. Sonia, the serpent bitch that sent her Drow minions after me some six hundred years ago and still hasn't called them off the hunt.
59. Do you have a significant other? Who?
Alas, no love for Lexi to speak of. But there have been many could-have-beens and one that I lament never letting in...
60. Do you have a lot of friends? Who is your best friend?
I'm lucky to say I do have a lot of people who've decided to care about me. My closest pal among them is also one of the newest - Dima again.
61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex?
Its funny, because for the longest time I didn't hang out with other elves, so it was a bit awkward at first when I stumbled across more of them, but thankfully that's since passed. Class, I'm going to ignore because I don't really have one in my mind. And sex? I seem to get along with everyone. I'm a people person.
62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex?
...Welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department...
63. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
To quote the lovely Miss Dido, I never stick around quite long enough to make it. But I know I've loved in my own way and it was a joyously painful bliss.
64. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Warm, compassionate, intelligent, funny, gentle, and of course aesthetically pleasing, though that's minor in comparison to personality. Seriously.
65. How close are you to your family?
Sigh.
66. Do you want a marriage, family, and/or children?
Such goals are impossible with my current lifestyle, but its never far from my mind and I strive for those things everyday.
67. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
Lover, not a fighter!
68. Are you a listener or a talker?
Lol, a little of both. I love to listen, but I equally love to talk. ^_~
69. How long does it usually take for you to trust others?
Longer than many realize. I'm a bit deceptive in that department, because I tend to be sociable.
70. Do you hold grudges?
Only one. And I'm sure you can guess to which part of my life it pertains.
71. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Accidentally most times, but yes. Call it the fiery, naturally dominant side of my personality.
72. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?
I don't mind it, no.
73. How well do you express yourself?
I'm a walking posterboard of self-expression lovies. From the British flags to the trinkets I wear, I love showing what I love through garb.
74. How quickly do you judge others?
Pretty much instantly. One thing about elves you should know is that we can sense emotions, whether you try to hide them or not. So I can gauge a naughty from a nice pretty promptly.
75. Do you care what others think of you?
Yes and no, like everyone else. I don't care what many think of my beliefs, but I want you to like me anyway. I like being liked.
76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy?
Once again, those white-haired, black-skinned bastards and their scaly, abominable mistress. I'm not stating why again.
Personal Taste and Opinions
77. What is your favorite pastime? Color? Food? Possession?
Favorite pasttime...hmm. Singing.
Favorite color would be red, favorite food is Chinese, and favorite possession is the scrap of green fabric I keep that was a part of my father's tunic when he died. It's disintegrating hastily now.
78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment?
I like jazzy, lively music, musicals, bright and flashy stageshows...and I enjoy abstract art.
79. Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not?
Yes to the smoking, no to the drinking, I was a flaming whore - no pun intended - for many years, and no to drugs. As to the why, I was addicted pretty much from the first drag to smokes, drinking lowers my alertness and with people after my life its dangerous, I'm not proud of the slut I let myself become, so much so I actually took a vow of celibacy awhile ago and have maintained it painstakingly so as not to hurt anyone including myself, and drugs would just be another enemy I don't need with my addictive personality.
80. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
In a tavern with a bunch of rowdy drunken elves. Being sober is actually fun because you can then make fun of them and blackmail them with antics they fail to recall later. >:}
And 81 is MIA...
82. How long is your attention span?
What was the question? No, I kid. It can be very long if you're interesting. If not, I am smashing at the smile-and-nod tactic.
83. Do you laugh a lot? What do you find funny?
I like laughing, and it's been a more frequent occurrance lately.
I find good satires and sarcasm funny, plus tastefully stupid jokes. Jackassery like the show of the same name? Ugh. Not in your life.
84. Is there anything that shocks or offends you? If so, what?
Not really, no. *thinks* No, I really can't think of anything...well, other than that snake bitch scantily clad. Oh god, why did I think of that? *shudders uncontrollably*
85. How do you deal with stress?
Smoking...
86. How much athletic ability do you have? Artistic?
I'm lithe and sinewy, but I suck in the ways of athleticism. I'm not a bad artist, but I'm best with eyeliner and denim doodles with a pen when I'm bored.
87. Do you like animals? Do you like children?
I hate snakes. Phobic really, and I feel bad because it's not their faults. But otherwise, animals are wondrous. Children? Adorable little monsters, they are. <3
88. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
Spontaneity makes life worth living.
89. What are your pet peeves?
Vanity, spoiled brats, and when people make that clicking noise with their tongue in between when they talk. Oh, I hate that!
Self-Image
90. What is your greatest strength as a person? Weakness?
I suppose my optimism. 'Tis rather remarkable I'm not an emo mess, really. Weakness? I'm too kind. Lover, not a fighter. I'm lucky that hasn't gotten me or others killed.
91. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Haha. To quote the charistmatic Aretha Franklin now, FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM, FREEDOM!!!!.
92. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Extroverted. ^_~
93. Do you like yourself?
Eh. I do my best to be a good person, and that's alright by me.
94. Do you have a daily routine? How do you feel if your day is interrupted?
I have more of a daily routine than ever before now, but the only thing that bugs me is if someone's standing in the way of me and the first morning's fag. (smoke, lovies)
95. What goal do you most want to accomplish in the next six months? Your lifetime?
See 91.
96. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Hopefully on the other side of freedom alive and not worrying about Drow sliding out of the shadows trying to kidnap/assassinate me.
97. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Oh Jesus... Well, quickly, lol. But hopefully in a manner that is the least painful for my loved ones, or beneficial to someone else. Ah yes, Lexi the martyr.
98. What is the one thing you would like to be remembered for after your death?
That he overcame his obstacles and beat both those that hunted him AND smoking. Lol!
99. What three words would you use to best describe your personality?
The Cha cha chas: Chipper, charismatic, and charming.
100. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
Charming and charismatic, at least. Someone would probably call me a pussy though.
101. Why are you risking your life to adventure?
HA. BECAUSE I HAVE NO BLOODY CHOICE! HUZZAH!
wOOt. Done folks. I'm sleeping now.
