Warning: I cheat. Feel free to ask about characters you've never heard of.
Part 1
1. The happiest?
Yoshi.
Among recent characters: Demetrious. Unsettled, but happy.
2. The most depressed and unhappy with life?
That's two questions.
The most depressed: Very tough call. I give it to Valentine.
The most unhappy with life: Kent. Definitely Kent.
3. Easily gets angry?
Mark (muldoun.)
4. Would rather be alone most of the time?
Mark (summers)
5. Annoying as hell?
Petra Enrique Malachi Fisher Mk. 37
Or Zarquor.
6. Just a complete asshole?
Petra.
7. Would jump in front of a bullet to save their friends?
Ra'id.
Who would jump in front of a bullet for anything.
Haroun.
Who would jump in front of a bullet for precisely three people in the world. Now two. (Not that anyone ever dies in Ethos)
8. Shy and not very talkative?
Kent. More "mysterious" than shy.
Mark (summers)
9. Full of themselves?
Also a tough call. So many. But early-stage Kent wins.
If we're going over the entire character arc, though, definitely Zarquor.
10. Always ready for a fight?
Val. Not even bloody close.
11. Would find the best way to avoid a fight?
Demetrious, if that means "least willing to fight."
Eugenides, if it means "most able to dodge conflict."
12. Needs company 24/7?
Personally needs it: No one, really.
Needs it for safety of self and others: Yoshi.
13. Loves the sound of their own voice?
Zarquor.
14. Tries to be the leader of the pack?
Kent. I don't play a lot of leader-types.
15. Wants revenge?
Haroun.
Part 2
1. Who is your main character?
Bli.
2. Who are his best friends?
Ai.
3. Does he have an SO?
The textual implications are vague.
4. Does he have a rival? If so are they a friendly rival and do they hate each other with a passion?
Not so much rivals as temptations and obstacles, in a very Pilgrim's Progress sort of way.
5. Does your main char represent the r/l you?
God I hope not.
6. What character are you really proud you created?
Kent or Demetrious. I'm really more proud of the play than the concept for both of those. Which says something.
7. Do you think about your chars a lot?
In the sense that they function as roles for me.
8. Do you ever wish you could meet your chars in r/l?
No! Good god!
9. Do you remember the moment you created your first char?
Yup. A halfling in basic D&D. I called him "No Name" because I couldn't figure out a name for him. This made him inexplicably bad-ass sounding.
10. Is originality important to you when creating a character?
Depends.
11. Do you ever look at somebody's character and wish it was yours?
Never have, to my recollection.
12. Can you see yourself keeping this up in the future?
Depends.
