1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? Irrelevant in Luceti, but he is accustomed to being, if not royalty, then at least the ward of royalty. Even if the budget gets a little woolly traveling the world, when he heads for home he's back in a world where 100,000 fol is a "small token." That's enough to keep them stocked up for months Actually.... that's probably why the budget gets woolly.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? Royalty, ward of royalty, living legend and celebrated hero. Conversely, secretly a member of the lowest social caste and existing outside the worldwide religion, both things that could easily get him killed. The loftiest and lowest, all at once.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? For a long time, his home was quite literally his castle. He spent most of the last two years on the road, though, camping out wherever the fewest things were trying to kill him. In Luceti, he has a house with Katie and Ed, and formerly others. It's... probably more important to him that it look class and comfortable than it is to anyone else, really. He's a royal brat.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? Nothing. Alternatively, whatever he damn well feels like.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? He kills things. He is the best at it. His killing-things prowess is legendary.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? Too many and varied to count. He's tried his hand at just about everything over the years, and come away with minor skill in all of it. He has a particular fondness for music, and also for things practical and crafty. Also flowers. Hush, everyone loves flowers.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? He eats a lot. And he runs around in heavy armor all day, he needs it. He is also a terrible, terrible cook, but that doesn't matter because he enjoys his own cooking. He might sometimes (often) get involved in things and forget about feeding himself, but if others are providing he will never turn down a meal. His preference is for soups (rich, cream-based ones, or meat broths) and stews - but not vegetable soup, because that almost always has tomatoes, and the one thing he will. not. eat. is tomatoes. He's certainly not a big "go out and party, get trashed" drinker, but he does enjoy a glass from time to time. He enjoys dark beer, wine, and brandy so strong they've named it what passes for "Oh God".
