Character Survey Meme (100 Quiestions)
Answer as many parts as you want in any order you want. You can leave questions blank, have your character dance around them, or force them to answer honestly. Whatever you want. This isn't to be done all at once. You would probably die if you did so.

29a. Where is your homeland? Homeland? What is this Dungeons and Dragons? Are you fucking fifteen? I'm from Germany.
29b. What are its people like? ...German.
29c. Are you aware of its history? Yeah, I'm aware of most of the world's history.
29d. How do you view the heroes/legends of your country? I don't take a lot of stock in legends unless I think the heroes actually deserve their status.
30. Are you patriotic or a social outcast? I've spent a total of five fucking years in Germany, I don't have a real opinion.
31. What are your opinion of home? I don't have a real home.
32a. Where is your home town? (By the ocean, in the mountains, etc.) I lived in Munich as a kid, but I barely remember it.
32b. What is your home town's name? Munich.
32c. What was the area like and how did it affect you? (small town in the middle of nowhere, big city, etc.) It's a city and I barely spent any time there, so I don't think it affects me. Wammy's is in Winchester but it might as well be another goddamn planet for all the outside contact I got.
33a. Did you witness any historical events? Heh, I caused one. I kidnapped Kiyomi Takada helping end of the Kira case.
33b. If so, how did that event impact you? I'm pretty sure it killed me.
34a. Are your real motivations different from what you tell others? No. Not anymore. I used to lie about my motivations when I was in the mob. But that horrific chapter's behind me, thank God.
34b. If so, how might such secrets be revealed? ...Yeah, I'm ignoring this.
34c. How far would you go to keep such secrets from being revealed?
34d. What would you do if the truth became known?
34e. What do you fear would occur if the truth became known?
35a. Are you particularly graced (or cursed) with particular traits or skills? Cursed with skills? What the Hell is this bullshit? You have to be a fucking thirteen year old girl with a Tolkien-Elf fetish. I'm proficient in firearm combat, I can use knives, I can hold my own in hand-to-hand combat, I'm profoundly intelligent, I'm a damned good dresser, I'm a detective, I can build explosives, I can plan well. Shit, I don't know there are probably others.
35b. If so, were these a result of your past? ...what the fuck does that even mean?!
35c. How have these affected your life so far? I'm able to do the things those skills allow me to do.
35d. Did you affect you in your chosen profession? Yeah, most of it makes me a better detective.
36a. What about your race, growing up were you in the majority or a minority? I'm white, I grew up in England, so the majority.
36b. How were you treated by other nearby races? Nearby? Seriously, you need to stop with this fantasy novel trash. I didn't live in a society of whiteies in the middle of the forest. I live in an integrated society.
36c. Were you persecuted for your race? I'm white. When have white men done anything besides persecute people?
36d. Did this impact your outlook in any way? No. Actually, probably, but because I don't see how it has is how it has. I don't have to think about my race because white men rule the world.
36e. Did it affect your personality? No.
36f. How do you feel about other races? Seriously?! What do I look like a fucking Nazi?! ...Don't answer that. Do NOT fucking answer that. I don't have any goddamn preconceived notions.
37. Have you ever moved? Yeah. A lot.

38a. What was childhood like for you? Didn't have much of one, it was mostly studying my ass off.
38b. Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age, etc.)? (Early years: between the ages of one and ten) Well, I recently learned my drug addict father dumped me before I was a year old because he didn't know how to take care of me after my drug addict mother O.D.ed. And then after that I was shipped off to England to be treated like a goddamn toy by a brittle geriatric bastard who was trying to make an army of fucking detectives.
38c. Was it calm and peaceful or turbulent and traumatic? You don't even hear me, do you? Fuck, I guess I'm gonna have so say somewhere in between.
39. Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life. When I got picked to be M, probably. After that...everything else had to happen.
40a. Did you have any childhood friends? After I came to England? I had lots of friends, well a few of them. I was pretty social as a kid. But the only one that ever really mattered was Matt.
40b. If so, who and where are they now? I don't know, Wammy Kids never end up well. We're too smart for the real world and the ones who aren't trained to be L just get tossed back into the world where, like I said, they're too damn smart for their own good then they get bored, and end up either committing suicide or in trying to find some way to cope with being too damn smart end up accidentally killing themselves when they try to cope with the pressure. Or they somehow drift through life behind the scenes. But no Wammy Kid ever ends up happy.
40c. Are you still close to them or have you grown apart? The only one I'm still close to is Matt.
41. What stupid things did you do when you were younger? Oh let's see, Matt and I fooled around in the bushes behind the science wing when we were 12, I blew off Matt's eyebrow when I set off my first time bomb, I stole porn from a couple of the older kids, I accidentally got Matt addicted to nicotine (although there's nothing hotter than a smoker so, really, no loss.) Kids lives are filled with stupid things, I wasn't special.
42a. Which toys from your childhood have you kept (if any)? None because I'm a fucking adult.
42b. What do they mean to you? Nothing, obviously.
42c. If you didn't keep any, why not? What did you do to them all? Because I'm a motherfucking adult!
43. Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you? If I did, why would I tell you.
44. What conflicts might arise from your past? Same as above.
45. Are you who you claim to be? Yes.
46. Do you have any sort of criminal record? Never got caught.

Oh this should be interesting and by interesting I mean GODDAMN ANNOYING.
47a. Who were your parents? Two anonymous drug addicts
47b. Were you raised by them? Obviously not.
47c. If not, then why didn't they and who did raise you? According to that letter? My father didn't know what to do after my mother died so he dumped me. Luckily he managed to find an orphanage to leave me in. But the nuns who ran St. Jerome Emiliani's didn't raise me either, not for long. At four I got shipped off to Wammy's House where I grew up. But I wouldn't say anyone there raised me, I raised myself.
48. What is your father's full name? What is your mother's full name? I have no idea.
49. What did your parents and/or foster parents do for a living? Again, no idea.

54d. How did you get along with your siblings?
55. What was your family life like? I didn't have one, why are you not getting this?
56a. Are any or all of your family still alive? No. Maybe. Actually, they damn well could be. But they aren't in my life so they might as well be dead for all the difference they make.
56b. If so, do you know where they are now? If so, where are they? Fuck off.
56c. Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged? I was born estranged.
57a. Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular? I. Don't. Have. A. Fucking. Family. Jesus Christ!
57b. If so how/why are they special to you (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)? Go to Hell.
58a. Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? No idea, although given the shit I've done unless I'm actually related to Judas, I think I'm probably the blackest sheep my family'll ever have.
58b. If so, who are they and how did they "gain" the position? Oh for fuck's sake. Well, if it is me, I did what I had to do and I don't want to talk about it.
58c. If this person is not you, then how do you feel about them? If they topped me they did some pretty incredible shit.
59. Does your family still live where you grew up? No.
60a. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? No idea.
60b. If so, what did this person do to become famous or infamous? Just fucking stop.

60d. Do you try to live up to the reputation of their ancestor, try to live it down, or ignore it? Because there isn't a reputation? I'm going to say ignore it.
61a. Have you begun your own family? No.
61b. If not, do you ever want to have a family of your own someday? No.
61c. If so, with who or what type of person? I don't want a family, I hate kids. And I don't want to "settle down" because that's just a goddamn nice way to say "giving up."
62. What type of person would be your ideal mate? I hate that phrase, "ideal mate," like I'm a goddamn show dog or something.

63a. Do you have any close friends? One. Maybe two.

All he wants is to win, he doesn't care about people, he doesn't care about justice, he doesn't care about what's right, he doesn't even fucking get involved!
66a. What valuable or important contacts do you have? Why would I tell you?
66b. How did you come to know them? None of your business.
67. Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to? I'm loyal to God and to justice. Beyond that it's insignificant. No matter how much it feels otherwise. I can't let relationships get in the way of what really matters.
68. List any past serious relationships that you have had. Serious? So beyond just fucking them, I'm guessing? One, Matt.
69. How do you think others generally perceive you? As a hardass, a fag, a psycho, an asshole, all kinds of not-so-nice words, and, hopefully, a detective.

78. What are your general reaction to an attractive member of the opposite sex who lets you know they are available? What about the same sex? I really don't give two shits about what women think about me. And at this point, I don't really care about what men do either, I've got other things to worry about.

80. Who would miss you, should you go missing? No one's left to in reality. Here, I've got Matt and L.

86. What was (or is) your primary profession? Detective.
87. Where and how were you educated? I was trained at Wammy's House.
88a. Who trained you? Quillish Wammy, or at least his model. Most of it was actually done by Roger, his boot licking bitch.
88b. What was your relationship with your teacher(s)/mentor(s)? I hated his guts. My mentor wasn't Wammy, it was L. And I'm one of the only people L ever spoke to as L.
88c. How did you happen across this teacher or mentor? He chose me.
88d. Was your mentor kind, stern, cruel, indifferent? L...it's hard to explain. Growing up L wasn't really a person, he was a force. He was also a goal. We wanted to be L, we wanted to be better than him, we wanted to succeed him and we wanted to crush him. L never spoke to us, we never saw his face, but we saw his handiwork and we heard about it constantly. L is, was, always will be, synonymous with justice.
89. Is this person or institution still in existence? Wammy's House still exists, if they follow Wammy's plans I'm sure it always will.
90a. Were you forced into your profession by parents or peers? By the time I was conscious of it my fate had already been chosen and I'd been spoon fed the doctrine for so fucking long I actually wanted it. I don't wish it was different, I really don't, maybe that's my programming or maybe it's because however twisted Wammy was he got one thing right. Justice is what matters most in the world.
90b. If so, what did you want to be? I don't think I had much of an understanding of future employment at four.
90c. If they did not, how do your relatives and friends view your present occupation? They don't exist, or they're Matt in which case they're in the same boat.
90d. Did circumstances dictate your choice of profession? Yes, I've already been through this.
91. Were you a prize student or did you just barely pass? Second best. Always.
92a. What unusual skills do you have? Jesus fucking Christ, I did this like ninety questions ago! Just go back and review my answers because I am not repeating myself.
92b. How did you learn them? Most of them are self taught.
93. Have you ever done anything else for a living? No, never could, never would.
94. Are you a good fighter? Can you fight? Hell yeah I can. I can kick ass.
95a. Have you ever received any awards or honours? Second place doesn't count as an honor.
95b. What have you done that was considered "outstanding" in your occupation by others in your field? No.
96. What are your long-term goals? At this point? None. The Author kind of picked me out of the end.
97. Is there anything that you don't currently know how to do that you wish you could? It's a bit late for that.
98. Do you admire others who can do such things? No.
99. Are you sullen and morose about it? Fuck off. I'm sullen and morose about more important things.
100. Are you learning how to do it? Or have you given up? Go. Fuck. Yourself.
