So, I haven't posted in a while and couldn't think of anything to talk about, so Snake told me to take this meme he did for a bunch of my characters. So... I'm doing that, for now. Characters will be pirates and cowboys, so it should be pretty rad.
Anyway, the meme :
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people or more. Do what you want.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself.
My Characters:
Lafitte (I'll be nice and not write her lines in dialect)
Flynn
Everret
J.D. Merwin
(Yeah yeah, they're all furries)
Who/What are you?
Lafitte- I'm a lizardfolk pirate from a fantasy world comparable to the Elizabethan period.
Flynn- I'm a Red Panda Pirate from a furry version of India during the golden age of piracy.
Everret- I'm an Opossum sharper, huckster, safe cracker and all around cheat from the late American Old West.
J.D. Merwin- I'm a pistolero and outlaw ex-confederate from the late American Old West.
How old are you?
Lafitte- Thirty-five. I've been around.
Flynn- Thirty-two. I've been all over, but a good man doesn't age; he ripens, like a fine wine.
Everret- As far as you'll ever know, I'm 25....
J.D. Merwin- Twenty-one. Though, the confederate army thought I was twenty-one three years ago.
Do you like yaoi or yuri?
Lafitte- ... what? Drawings of gay sex? What, like, how to books? I don't get it... just go and hire a prostitute.
Flynn- I don't know what Yaoi is... but yuri? I love flowers AND Japanese contraband! Oh, wait, you mean porn? Yeah, porn is good.... Gay, straight, lesbian... whatever. Variety is the spice of life!
Everret- Seriously, man... that sort of thing is meant for privacy! Or a bawdy house's stage. Well, whatever, the ones with the girls are ok, but Everret aint no dandy!
J.D. Merwin- ... shut the fuck up.
Are you a boy or a girl?
Lafitte- Wouldn't you like to know! I'm female, though. Seriously. But you're just going to have to trust me on this. Lizard girls got nothing to show off.
Flynn- Is there some word that means 'boy' but more so? 'cause that's me. I guess I'll just have to capitalize and bold MAN to get it across.
Everret- Any lady who wants twenty bucks can get some proof I'm a guy.
J.D. Merwin- I'm a boy. Question me again and I'll put some pretty new holes in you.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Lafitte- I hatched from a cluster of eggs, so I guess, but lizardfolk are raised communally, so it doesn't really mean anything.
Flynn- Several, of which I was a middle child, but I barely knew any of them. I was shipped off to a British run boarding school at a young age.
Everret- Nope, only child here. Just me and my pa.
J.D. Merwin- When I ran away from home to join the war, I had an older brother and a younger sister. I might have more now... I don't know. I just know I can't go back to them, anyway.
Who's your mate/spouse?
Lafitte- Any pretty boy I can force into a dress. I have a few favorites in different ports, though....
Flynn- I have never had a relationship, merely many nightly moorings with many lovely people.
Everret- We're hardly exclusive, me being a traveler and her being a fallen dove, but if I did ever settle down it'd be with Lucille.
J.D. Merwin- No one. I don't need anyone.
Do you have any kids?
Lafitte- Hell no! Last thing I want is a fucking egg! I won't even mate with my own kind, just to avoid that!
Flynn- I am... unaware. I'm afraid it is fairly likely, though.
Everret- Shit, I sure hope not! I adopted a boy named Cody, and he's all I can handle.
J.D. Merwin- Don't be ridiculous.
What's your favorite food?
Lafitte- People. I guess part of it is eating what I've killed, but knowing it was an intelligent person with a life ahead of them, and I snuffed that out and turned them into just a bit to eat... that's heaven, right there.
Flynn- My favorite food is fine, local cuisine I've not yet experienced. Variety and all that rot.
Everret- Bacon. Cheap, easy and delicious!
J.D. Merwin- Whiskey.
Have you ever killed anyone?
Lafitte- What, like, today?
Flynn- It is a part of the business, I fear, and often the only way to resolve a man's disagreement.
Everret- No, no and no. I'll take your money, I'll take your property, I'll even take your dignity, but I have never taken a life, and I hope I never will. A life is the one thing you can steal that a person can't get back.
J.D. Merwin- Several. You looking to add to that list?
What kind of music do you like?
Lafitte- A good sea shanty to lift the spirits can't be beaten!
Flynn- The sea shanties are all well and good, but I love to listen to the folk music of the island peoples.
Everret- Stephen Fucking Foster.
J.D. Merwin- I guess Old-time music is ok... but I don't really care about music.
What do you do to relax?
Lafitte- ... sit? Force pretty boys to pamper me while I sit?
Flynn- Whenever I hit port I check into an inn, have a good meal, and find a pretty young lady or lad.
Everret- A nice bath in a fine hotel is my favorite, but that's pretty rare....
J.D. Merwin- I like to read.
Do you constantly get hurt?
Lafitte- It comes with the territory.
Flynn- I do my best to avoid bloodshed, my own or others, but all to often it happens, and yes, sometimes I take a wound. I must not that a wound taken for a lady can hardly be said to hurt at all, though.
Everret- Not if I can help it, and I usually can!
J.D. Merwin- Not often, no... but one must always be ready, and accidents do happen.
Do you like your creator?
Lafitte- Complete weakling. I don't like competition, though, so that's fine.
Flynn- They need no justification from me; if one has confidence, then they are justified.
Everret- They're a naive rube. Far too easy to take advantage of.
J.D. Merwin- I'm not interested. If they make a nuisance of themselves, I'll put one between their eyes.
Whats your favorite season?
Lafitte- Warm weather is best for sailing, and spring brings too many storms, so summer.
Flynn- Every season can be charming, but the seasons that bring storms can be dangerous....
Everret- Not summer. Christ almighty, this place doesn't need help being hot!
J.D. Merwin- Seasons are something you deal with, not that you love.
Have you ever had sex?
Lafitte- Oh, sure! Sex and violence are my two favorite things! It's just always hard choosing....
Flynn- I know I can't share my passion with everyone, but I'm damn well trying.
Everret- What are you, Mormon? Of course!
J.D. Merwin- ... Mind your own business!
Have you been violated/molested/raped before?
Lafitte- I guess most people would consider my first lover to be molesting me... I was young even for lizardfolk, and he didn't really ask permission, but I dunno... I don't really think about it like that. It was, what... a learning experience? Since then, definitely not.
Flynn- What? No! I mean, I'm sure the older boys at the boarding school did that sort of thing, but all of my liaisons, even back then, were quite willing.
Everret- Of course not. And I aint never raped anyone either!
J.D. Merwin- No. And it's not going to happen, either.
Who's your best friend?
Lafitte- Goatboy and Fire guy are my best friends! Why don't they ever want to hang out anymore?
Flynn- Too many to count!
Everret- Lucille, and Cody, and J.D. Merwin.
J.D. Merwin- Everret's my first real friend in a long time. Lucille makes me... uncomfortable, though. Cody is a good kid.
Got a crush?
Lafitte- I don't really get... emotionally attached to people. That's sort of a mammal thing. I like people, and I want to fuck people... I guess if it's both for the same person, it's a crush? Maybe?
Flynn- Oh yes, mon cherie... you.
Everret- Lucille's got my heart!
J.D. Merwin- I've never been the romantic sort.
Do you like hugs/kisses/cuddles/etc.?
Lafitte- Whatever.
Flynn- It's pity one ever has to stop.
Everret- Only if I'm not getting charged by the minute.
J.D. Merwin- Don't touch me.
Are you gay?
Lafitte- If it feels good, do it. Girls are less fun, usually, though.
Flynn- I'm will-let-me-stick-my-dick-in-it-sexual.
Everret- What? No! Keep away from me, you dandy! This is all for the ladies!
J.D. Merwin- ... that's complicated.
Play any sports or...anything?
Lafitte- I've heard fencing called a sport, but I find it odd to call a method of killing people a sport. I mean, why isn't knifing a sport, then? Or back-alley strangulation?
Flynn- I have no time for games, my dear... only love. And love is very, very serious.
Everret- Oh, I run games all the time at county fairs... and they're not rigged or anything!
J.D. Merwin- I hear sharpshooting and quick draw is called a sport by some... but where I play, you only get to loose once.
If you had a chance to kill your creator would you do it?
Lafitte-I'd do it for the kicks.
Flynn- It would be needless and wanton.
Everret- I'm still not killing anyone.
J.D. Merwin- Maybe. I dunno. If I felt like it.
