Familial Questions
1. What was your family like?
Depends, really. My parents were always busy, and Kathlee was always teasing and being a rebel without a cause. Bobby and I were pretty close, until I started military school. I wasn't home as often, and it was pretty hard on him... poor kid. My baby sisters didn't see a lot of me growing up either, but they've always been little sweethearts. And little Eddy and Joey are still brand new! last time I saw them, I swear, Eddy grew another 5 inches...! Yeah I'm starting to sound like an old lady. Gonna stop now.
2. Who was your father, and what was he like?
A cold hearted bastard. No, really. He worked his ass off to make sure our family did great growing up; we each had our own room in a pretty big house, considering the property values in Jet City. I didn't see him a lot growing up, but when I did, he'd salute and tell me to keep on growing so I could work under him one day when I made ranks. He stopped looking at me a few years after military school. I guess he didn't like where I was headed in life... when he found out I was gay, oh man, the fireworks. Nothing actually happened, but it was all in his eyes, I'm telling you. Scary stuff. I know he just went on getting worse once I headed to the front lines in Leiyata, and it wasn't until I was discharged that he saw how messed up our family was becoming. Eventually the government started getting too involved and... well, things go messy, and he and mom were suddenly outlaws. He died saving her. Honestly, as much as I wish I could say I hated him... for me, that's enough.
3. Who was your mother, and what was she like?
Ever walked in the front door after a horrible day at work and decided right then and there to make your day better with a smile and fresh baked cookies? Cheesy, right? That's my mom. She'd be grumbling, cursing, looking fierce like a dragon... but the moment she hit that door step, work was over and she was all smiles. When I got a little older, I asked if it was just a front: hell no! Mom's the real deal. I've never met anyone who can just separate their priorities so... perfectly! She was only home a few days of the week and worked non-stop when she was away, but those days home made up for it.
4. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married?
To be honest, when I was younger, I didn't know parents were supposed to actually see each other. I know now that they worked together all the time and were always together, being in the same ranks and all, but I never saw them together when they were home. He never seemed to return any affection, taking his work home with him, usually. But they were together to the end, and mom told me she never stopped loving him, even when he became a monster... she knew he'd change. And in the end, he really did! Guess he loved her too, then...
5. What were your siblings names? What were they like?
Heh, I mentioned them before... Kathleen is pretty out there. She's a tough gal and doesn't let anyone get their way over hers. Really caring though. When Mom and Dad had to bail, she was taking care of everyone! She owns her own store, so she's doing pretty well these days. Then there's Robert... oh, how to explain Bobby. He was my best friend growing up. We could tell each other anything... everything! It got to a point where we knew each other so well, I'd just have to look at him to know exactly what he wanted to go play next. I admit, I messed with him a little bit... can't tell you the number of times I'd see him looking a bit down, so I'd come fresh out of the shower, put my towel over my head, and start belting out show tunes into a hairbrush until he was crying from fits of laughter! ...did I mention he found out I was gay before I did? I'm pretty sure a lot of people did, but I'm just throwing that out there.
Jean is a bit of a know-it-all, always leading her sisters around. Patricia is like her little echo. Really cute stuff! And Rosemary, well... she's sorta shy. She gets along with her sisters, but tends to be an odd one out. She's probably next on Bobby's list of people close to him. Edward is a bit of a beast. I'm telling you, that kid will bite anything. The terrible twos, you know? And then there's little Joseph, who's still so tiny! He's a scrawny little thing, but he's still got a long way to go.
6. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings?
Dude, I wanted a sandwich this one time, and Kathlee wouldn't lent me the $5 for it. I was hungry! And she took out a wad of $20s and started to fan herself with them! I mention this only because I swore I would never let her forget that. Now.. the worst thing I did was leave. I didn't give any warning that I was leaving for the front lines. I had to just get out of there... some personal stuff. I had a lot of demons back then. That was what really triggered a lot of stuff for us... things were already heading down hill at that point, but that was really a catalyst.
7. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now?
They're living up in Gaildasia right now. I haven't seen then in a month, at least. 'Cept Kathlee, but she always assumes I just wanna borrow some cash and she she avoids me! ...you know, she's not as compassionate as a thought! I'm takin' back what I said before!
8. Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them?
Grandpa Johnson was this really old guy who smelled like new shoes. He was pretty cool, but he lives kinda off from the rest of us with his younger wife, so we never saw him very often. Not sure what he's doing these days... execpt that wife of his. She's like, Kathlee's age! Yuck.
Childhood Questions
1. What is your first memory?
Earliest thing I can recall... the day Bobby was born. I remember it pretty clearly because the little fella shocked me when I tried to hold him! Hahah, good times... though that's likely the reason why Dad had such high expectations for him.
2. What was your favorite toy?
You have no idea what temptation I am resisting in not putting myself, but the chances of my little brother reading this is kinda high, so... let's go with a video game. Yeah, those were pretty cool.
3. What was your favorite game?
Hah! Hey, this thing gets how I work! Uhm. To be honest, I never played one in specific. I'd wait for Kathlee to get sick of hers and take them when she got new ones, so...
4. Any non-family member adults stick out in your mind? Who were they, and how did you know them? Why do they stick out?
Hmm, now I gotta think of how to classify "adults" here. First of all there's gotta be Muralei. That guy's come through for my family more times than I can count, and he's been like a second father for Bobby. Then there's Lunia, who'd probably get mad if I listed her here since she thinks of herself as closer to my age than Muralei's. But hey, she was more of an adult when I met her on account of how Flame elemen age, so she can go here! She's the one who introduced me to Ike and convinced me to give up lying about myself. If I were a little straighter, I probably would've fallen for her.
5. Who was your best friend when you were growing up?
Definitely Bobby. Me and him were tight. He was a lot different when he was younger. When he just a little thing, he stopped talking and laughing, and he wouldn't look people in the eye anymore. Sometimes he'd even throw these tantrums... and then afterwards, he wouldn't say anything for days at a time. A few years after that, he grew out of the tantrums, but he was still pretty quiet. Talked to me though! Sometimes I used to think he talked to me so much because he saved it up from not talking to anyone else. Honestly, when we were alone, he was such a chatterbox! He'd probably get mad if he knew I was talking about him so much.
6. What is your fondest, childhood memory?
Oh, that one's a long time ago. The little girls weren't even born yet, and Dad decided to treat the family to a day at the zoo. I was so small that Dad hoisted me up on his shoulders so I could look at the tigers. Kathlee started getting jealous, so Dad pulled her up too. Man, we must have looked silly. But he didn't care, and he carried us around the whole day, just like that! His back was so sore that he had to stay home from work for the next week, which just meant even more time together... it's the one memory I have where he really acted like a dad should.
7. What is your worst childhood memory?
...the incident. When Bobby was about 9 or so, he still hadn't been able to use his electricty right. I was starting up military school and was away from home most of the time. I got woken up in the middle of the night to a phone call, hearing that Bobby was in the hospital... goddamn I could have killed my father when I saw him. I never did get the full story, but when Bobby couldn't produce enough electricity to even produce a spark, my father really tore him a new one... poor little guy. He was so distraught that he flew into a panic attack of sorts. Dad thought he was just throwing a tantrum, and he locked him in his room. Two days of sending meals up to his room without so much as a peep from him, they finally went in to check on him and found him passed out on the ground, none of the food having even been touched. Bobby was different after that. For awhile, he had a hard time talking, even when it was just me there. I didn't know how to handle it... but as bad as I remember it, it's gotta be a million times worse for Bobby...
Adolescent Questions
1. How old were you when you went on your first date?
You'd have to define "date". Probably when I was around 13? It was a platonic thing with this girl from school. We hugged goodnight. That is totally a date.
2. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it?
I used to be pretty heavy-set in the military-style authority. Always salute your superiors. Nowadays, I answer to the people I care about... and the people who give me my paycheck, hahah.
3. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with?
Skipped high school for military school instead. So... military clique? Were we the jocks? I don't really know.
4. What were your high school goals?
Uhm... graduate. Yeah.
Occupational Questions
1. Do you have a job? What is it? Do you like it? If no job, where does your money come from?
I have two, actually. I work in this cute little family restaurant during the day. I wear this spiffy little uniform and everything, The people are nice, and I get a nice deal on a room above there by working. At night, I work as a bouncer at a real popular gay club in the entertainment districts. It's pretty good pay and I get to see a lot of eyecandy on the job, so aside from the lack of sleep, I got no complaints.
2. What is your boss or employer like? (Or publisher, or agent, or whatever.)
A cute elderly couple and their kids run the restaurant. They've really taken to me like family there, and I'm grateful for it. I don't think they'd judge me too hard if they knew about my second job, but they'd probably encourage me to quit just so I wouldn't be as stressed out and busy... but then I wouldn't make enough to keep paying board there. They told me it could be free, but I can't do that to them. They've already done a lot for me.
3. What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with?
I've got pretty nice co-workers on both jobs, so no complaints there. At the club, the customers I have to deal with are the annoying ones... would you believe Lyle used to be my number one trouble maker? Heh... thinking back on it, he only did try and cause trouble on days I was working the shift. He even left, mid-swing, mid-fight, when he heard I wasn't on that night. He cares, in his own twisted little way...
4. What is something you had to learn that you hated?
If you try and break a bottle to use as a weapon, it'll probably just explode on your hand and cut a finger off. I saw it happen. Twice. It was gross.
5. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why?
I save as much as I can, but I've got a lot of bills to pay... a lot of debts, actually. With my family up in Gaildasia, me and Kathlee split up the family debts and we've been working them off.
Sex & Intimacy Questions
1. Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why?
Gay all the way, bro. Why? Hm. That's like asking why someone likes red over blue. I just do? I'd prefer a sweet ass over a pair of tits any day.
2. Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go?
Hah! Well, to contradict what I just said before, my first time was with a woman. A few guys took me out to a bar and ended up forgetting about me. They were older, and I didn't know them too well. One thing led to another, and next thing I knew this fine lady was offering me a drink. She was a real nice gal, mid-forties, married to a cold bastard, and looking for a way to spice her life up. This bar was cougar town, all right. We talked awhile, and I offered to dance. I guess I got more than I bargained for there... but hey, I gotta admit, the older ladies really know how things work. We hooked up a few more times after that, and not always for sex. I think towards the end she started noticing I was only feeling it when I was drunk out of my mind.
3. Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go?
Hah! Where do I start? Well, my first time wasn't much of an experience. There was a guy in my class who had a little thing for me. He brought me to a room to confess, typical schoolboy crush and whatnot. I was a little confused by the whole thing, but oh man... for the 2 or so minutes we had before a teacher broke us up, every little touch gave me a thrill like you wouldn't believe. It was nothing compared to those nights with my favorite cougs. It wasn't long after that when I was introduced to Ike. Best 8 months of my life.
4. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it?
Geeze, trying to make me blush? Well... for your information, I happen to be a true romantic at heart. I can't think of anything I'd want more than to embrace the love of my life on our honeymoon, the day after we've pledged our lives together. Go ahead and call me a sap. I dare you!
5. What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen?
I dominated two guys at the same time once. That was a good night!
6. Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it?
I love hearing my partner scream. I wanna hear just how much they want me. So I tease and I torture juuust a bit. It's all consensual and it's not like I really want to hurt them, so don't think I'm some kind of heartless bastard... just an innocent sadist~
7. Is there any sexual activity that you will not, under any circumstances, do?
There is so much fucked up stuff I could mention here, but I don't wanna squick the readers.
8. Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?
Well. There's this guy who I. Kinda like. Lyle. He's a real bastard though! He can be really cold and he says cruel things when other people are around. But get him alone in a room, and he's a totally different guy. I've tried not to get my hopes up, but... I could see this working out. I don't see anyone else supporting this, but a guy has needs, you know?
9. What is the perfect romantic date?
A day out on the beach, expensive dinner in a resturant over looking the ocean, and ending with a warm bonfire and sex on the beach. Perfect.
10. Describe the perfect romantic partner for you.
Someone who's not afraid to take me on, but at the same time, makes me want to take care of them. I'm a nurturing fellow, really. Since we're going for "perfect" here, I'd also like them to have an ass that doesn't quit, rippling muscles complete with a 6-pack, and 8 inches at the very least.
11. Do you ever want to get married and have children? When do you see this happening?
Married? Hmm I'd like to. Not too common in Jet City. It's a a little archaic, but I'd still like to. Children? Well, I do love a big family! I plan on adopting 12 kids. Hahah, okay okay... seriously, 7 kids.
12. What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why?
Sorry, I'm just trying to picture how you could have sex without being intimate... it's not possible!
13. What was your most recent relationship like? Who was it with? (Does not need to be sexual, merely romantic.)
Well, I'm still kind of in one, I guess. Before that, it was just a bunch of flings and one nighters. What can I say? I was in high demand.
14. What's the worst thing you've done to someone you loved?
...I left him. I broke his heart... no. I tore it out and smashed it to pieces. I was such a coward back then... I'm glad he has someone now. He needs someone strong who can hold him together. I just wasn't strong enough. He is.
Likes & Dislikes Questions
1. What hobbies do you have?
What are these hobbies of which you speak? Hahah, well, when I'm not working, I love singing. Hell, sometimes I sing while I work! The patrons never seem to mind. Just gotta make sure to keep things G-rated when I'm working the restaurant during the day.
2. Who is your closest friend? Describe them and how you relate to them.
Ike, for sure. Despite our past and all the trouble I've put him through, he still wants to be around me... no, he still lets me being around him.
3. Who is your worst enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along.
Quinn. He is Ike's current boyfriend and goddamn does that guy hate me. Honestly, I only tease him because I figure he'll probably never grow to like me anyway. Otherwise, I think he's a great guy. Also, cute as hell. Ike has good taste. Not that I didn't already know this, all things considered.
4. What bands do you like? Do you even pay attention?
I like most bands, honestly.
5. What tape or CD hasn't left your player since your purchased it? Why?
Lady Gaga. I love that bitch.
6. What song is "your song?" Why?
Prostitution is Revolution, baby. I sing it every night I do karaoke.
10. When it comes to politics, do you care? If so, which way do you tend to vote? If not, why don't you care?
I used to care. Then the government killed my father and drove my family out of the country. Now, as far as I'm concerned, those politicians can shove it.
11. What type of places do you hang out in with your friends?
The bar is always a nice place, even if they're the only ones drinking.
13. What annoys you more than anything else?
When Lyle's not in town... which is most days, really. I know we never really talked about whether we're in an open relationship or not, but... well, he told me he's only been with me since we got together. I wanna try and stay the same.
14. What would be the perfect gift for you?
I would love to come home to a trail of rose petals leading to a bedroom full of lit candles and a beautiful boy spread out on the sheets. Actually, make that two beautiful boys. Might as well go for "perfect" right?
15. What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
...if I said Ike, naked and covered in whipped cream, I wonder who would kill me first: Quinn or Lyle... probably Quinn. Lyle might just agree.

Sex o'clock. True facts.
17. What kind of weather is your favorite?
Bright and sunny.
18. What is your favorite food? What is your least favorite food?
I live for sandwiches. Any kind, any thing, just stick it between two slices of bred and I'll probably like it. Least favorite? ...whatever is not in the form of a sandwich, obviously!

Coffee, black. Keeps me going all day.
20. What's your favorite animal? Why?
I like cats. Tigers are pretty cool, too.

I... I should get a cat. But that might make me seem lonely. That creep who lives alone with all his cats. I don't wanna be that guy.
22. What do you find most relaxing? (Not as in stress relief, but as something that actually calms you down.)
Cuddling. Shut up.
23. What habit that others have annoys you most?
I'm pretty easygoing. Unless you have a habit that involves beating me constantly or insulting my family, it's probably not going to phase me.
24. What kind of things embarrass you? Why?
Talking about someone I'm "with". Like, serious-with. Not some one nighter. I don't know why, but it gets me all flustered...
25. What don't you like about yourself?
Nothing. I have the body of a God.
26. How would you like to look?
See above.
Drug & Alcohol Questions
1. How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like?
It was while I was away at military school. A bunch of the guys took us new recruits out
Did anything good come out of it? Did anything bad come out of it?
The first time? Oh man. I don't remember anything about that night, 'cept that I woke up and I was wearing some other guys shirt and nothing else, surrounded by about twelve other guys with hang overs. DOn't go assuming stuff, now! Nothing happened like that. We were just being idiots, you know?
2. Do you drink on any kind of regular basis?
Hrm. I started hitting the bottle pretty hard when I got stationed in Leiyata. They didn't need me to do much, so I had too much free time. And in a war zone, free time just meant more time to watch people suffer... that doesn't do well on a guy. I don't drink like that anymore.
3. What kind of alcohol do you prefer?
Well, it used to be whatever got me drunk fastest... but when I first started off, I know I wasn't too fond of beer. I was more of a vodka kind of guy.
4. Have you ever tried any other kind of "mood altering" substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each?
I might've, a few times. I'll agree to almost anything if I'm drunk enough. I know a few of the older ladies I used to "escort" liked to dabble in some stuff. I tried to avoid if when I could.
5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not?
I think that stuff is poison for the soul in the wrong hands. If you can handle it? More power to you. Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk. If you're lucky, the only thing you'll lose is your virginity. If you're not lucky... well, take a look at me. Lost the respect of my friends, thrown out of the military, broke apart my family... damn.
Morality Questions
1. What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?
What aren't I ashamed of? I've got a lot of stuff to make up for... but most proud?
2. Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won?
That's like asking if I've ever blinked. I argue with Kathlee all the time. Did I mention that sandwich thing before? I should mention it again. Godammit woman, it was a $5 sandwich! Stingy, stingy...
3. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won?
Loads of times. I used to spar with guys in the military for kicks. Not to mention my last job as a bar bouncer. I had to break up fights at least once a night, and that usually ended up with me being part of a fight in turn. I haven't lost yet.
4. What do you feel most strongly about?
Love~
5. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people?
Heh, that's funny. Probably... not caring. I try to seem more laidback than I really am. Not a lot of people have seen me really lose it. Not counting when I'm not sober, at least.
6. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?
Strength. Not the kind that comes from big muscles, but the kind that comes from character.
8. Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you?
Everyone thinks about dark stuff when they're feeling in a dark place, right? I'd be lying like a dog if I didn't admit I hadn't contemplated suicide once or twice... those days when the war seemed like an unending conveyer belt of bodies and there was nothing but a stiff drink to keep me company. Most people up there were afraid of me so I didn't have many friends. I try not to think about those days anymore.
9. What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own?
My family was a little unconventional. My mother gave us all sorts of books and things on beliefs of the past. None of it really stuck to Kathlee, but I remember Bobby really loved it. I don't really know what to believe, honestly.
10. Do you think the future is hopeful? Why?
I'd like to think it is. As long as we're still going on living, we should have hope, right...?
11. Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?
Not quite sure what you're saying here. If I had put in an ounce of prevention to stop my alcholism, and wound up with a pound of intervention, well... hm. Yeah, I'm not getting this. Isn't the cure a good thing?
12. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why?
...murder? Because... it's bad? What do you want from me.
13. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated?
Kill them. Really, what's worse than that? Sure, that's the worst I could do, but not the worst I ever would. Thankfully, I don't hate a lot of people.
14. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why?
Well, the seme is the leader, right? That is so me... okay, seriously now. I prefer to be a leader. Honestly, I never really liked the whole concept of blindly following orders that they beat into us in the military.
15. What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that?
I used to think I had an obligation to protect everyone. When I transferred to Leiyata, I was running away from more than just the "troubles of my heart". I thought I'd find freedom there... instead, I found myself in hell, and in turn, I brought hell onto the people I left behind.
16. Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself?
It takes a lot of hard work, but it can be done. I'm still working on mine. I think it's gotta be take on a person-by-person basis, though. I've already gotten forgiveness in the eyes of some, but others... I don't think I'll ever get it.
17. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?
Please, real men don't cry... that being said, the last time I really cried was my intervention. Tough times, man. Tough times.
18. What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall?
That little belief everyone has, whether they try to deny it or not, that their world is their world and everything revolves around them. If everyone took into account the grand scheme of things in everything they did, the whole world would be like a well-oiled machine all driving towards one goal for the greater good. But everyone is a little selfish. And that selfishness keeps life interesting.
Miscellaneous Questions
1. What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that's scarier than that? What do you think that would be?
War is scary. Facing your inner demons as a result of war is scarier. I've seen and done both.
2. Has anyone or anything you've ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened?
...well, my Dad died protecting my mom while they were on the run. I felt... numb when I first heard. I didn't know what to think. Was I sad? I don't know. We were never given a chance for a proper funeral, so... I guess I never got a chance to mourn him. Sure, our family had a small vigil of sorts, but... I don't know. There was just so much going on then and so much more happened after. I feel like I should've been more upset then, and if I got upset now, he have probably laughed at me and called me weak... hoping it'd make me stronger... hnn...
3. What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen?
Well, I was stabbed once. Nearly died, too! Kinda wish I got a scar or something from it, because that would be awesome, but healing magic doesn't seem to leave those.
4. How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?
I'm not ticklish at all, actually! Which is a shame. Tickle-fights look like so much fun...
5. What is your current long term goal?
Long term? Find a nice place to live, maybe outside the main city, and get myself a family.
6. What is your current short term goal?
Short term... buy a sandwich. It's come up a lot in this thing. Dammit, I'm hungry!
7. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?
Well, I used to be a big drinker. I'm trying to stay sober these days.
10. How private of a person are you? Why?
Not at all, really. Why? Not sure. I'm just an open guy, I guess.
11. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?
I'd probably donate it to some charity or something. I'm a nice guy, dammit.
12. What would you wish for if you found a genie?
That depends. How hot is the genie?
13. What do you do when you are bored?
...the safe-for-work answer says I watch TV or something. The not-safe-for-work answer says otherwise. Oh, and if Lyle is in town, I'm much too busy for TV. Much too busy.
14. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening?
Castration. I wouldn't be able to live, I tell you!
--
THE END. I may do this for more characters if I get bored. It's fun. :3c
No one but Emu probably knows the character but LET'S DO THIS.

Familial Questions
1. What was your family like?
Depends, really. My parents were always busy, and Kathlee was always teasing and being a rebel without a cause. Bobby and I were pretty close, until I started military school. I wasn't home as often, and it was pretty hard on him... poor kid. My baby sisters didn't see a lot of me growing up either, but they've always been little sweethearts. And little Eddy and Joey are still brand new! last time I saw them, I swear, Eddy grew another 5 inches...! Yeah I'm starting to sound like an old lady. Gonna stop now.
2. Who was your father, and what was he like?
A cold hearted bastard. No, really. He worked his ass off to make sure our family did great growing up; we each had our own room in a pretty big house, considering the property values in Jet City. I didn't see him a lot growing up, but when I did, he'd salute and tell me to keep on growing so I could work under him one day when I made ranks. He stopped looking at me a few years after military school. I guess he didn't like where I was headed in life... when he found out I was gay, oh man, the fireworks. Nothing actually happened, but it was all in his eyes, I'm telling you. Scary stuff. I know he just went on getting worse once I headed to the front lines in Leiyata, and it wasn't until I was discharged that he saw how messed up our family was becoming. Eventually the government started getting too involved and... well, things go messy, and he and mom were suddenly outlaws. He died saving her. Honestly, as much as I wish I could say I hated him... for me, that's enough.
3. Who was your mother, and what was she like?
Ever walked in the front door after a horrible day at work and decided right then and there to make your day better with a smile and fresh baked cookies? Cheesy, right? That's my mom. She'd be grumbling, cursing, looking fierce like a dragon... but the moment she hit that door step, work was over and she was all smiles. When I got a little older, I asked if it was just a front: hell no! Mom's the real deal. I've never met anyone who can just separate their priorities so... perfectly! She was only home a few days of the week and worked non-stop when she was away, but those days home made up for it.
4. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married?
To be honest, when I was younger, I didn't know parents were supposed to actually see each other. I know now that they worked together all the time and were always together, being in the same ranks and all, but I never saw them together when they were home. He never seemed to return any affection, taking his work home with him, usually. But they were together to the end, and mom told me she never stopped loving him, even when he became a monster... she knew he'd change. And in the end, he really did! Guess he loved her too, then...
5. What were your siblings names? What were they like?
Heh, I mentioned them before... Kathleen is pretty out there. She's a tough gal and doesn't let anyone get their way over hers. Really caring though. When Mom and Dad had to bail, she was taking care of everyone! She owns her own store, so she's doing pretty well these days. Then there's Robert... oh, how to explain Bobby. He was my best friend growing up. We could tell each other anything... everything! It got to a point where we knew each other so well, I'd just have to look at him to know exactly what he wanted to go play next. I admit, I messed with him a little bit... can't tell you the number of times I'd see him looking a bit down, so I'd come fresh out of the shower, put my towel over my head, and start belting out show tunes into a hairbrush until he was crying from fits of laughter! ...did I mention he found out I was gay before I did? I'm pretty sure a lot of people did, but I'm just throwing that out there.
Jean is a bit of a know-it-all, always leading her sisters around. Patricia is like her little echo. Really cute stuff! And Rosemary, well... she's sorta shy. She gets along with her sisters, but tends to be an odd one out. She's probably next on Bobby's list of people close to him. Edward is a bit of a beast. I'm telling you, that kid will bite anything. The terrible twos, you know? And then there's little Joseph, who's still so tiny! He's a scrawny little thing, but he's still got a long way to go.
6. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings?
Dude, I wanted a sandwich this one time, and Kathlee wouldn't lent me the $5 for it. I was hungry! And she took out a wad of $20s and started to fan herself with them! I mention this only because I swore I would never let her forget that. Now.. the worst thing I did was leave. I didn't give any warning that I was leaving for the front lines. I had to just get out of there... some personal stuff. I had a lot of demons back then. That was what really triggered a lot of stuff for us... things were already heading down hill at that point, but that was really a catalyst.
7. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now?
They're living up in Gaildasia right now. I haven't seen then in a month, at least. 'Cept Kathlee, but she always assumes I just wanna borrow some cash and she she avoids me! ...you know, she's not as compassionate as a thought! I'm takin' back what I said before!
8. Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them?
Grandpa Johnson was this really old guy who smelled like new shoes. He was pretty cool, but he lives kinda off from the rest of us with his younger wife, so we never saw him very often. Not sure what he's doing these days... execpt that wife of his. She's like, Kathlee's age! Yuck.
Childhood Questions
1. What is your first memory?
Earliest thing I can recall... the day Bobby was born. I remember it pretty clearly because the little fella shocked me when I tried to hold him! Hahah, good times... though that's likely the reason why Dad had such high expectations for him.
2. What was your favorite toy?
You have no idea what temptation I am resisting in not putting myself, but the chances of my little brother reading this is kinda high, so... let's go with a video game. Yeah, those were pretty cool.
3. What was your favorite game?
Hah! Hey, this thing gets how I work! Uhm. To be honest, I never played one in specific. I'd wait for Kathlee to get sick of hers and take them when she got new ones, so...
4. Any non-family member adults stick out in your mind? Who were they, and how did you know them? Why do they stick out?
Hmm, now I gotta think of how to classify "adults" here. First of all there's gotta be Muralei. That guy's come through for my family more times than I can count, and he's been like a second father for Bobby. Then there's Lunia, who'd probably get mad if I listed her here since she thinks of herself as closer to my age than Muralei's. But hey, she was more of an adult when I met her on account of how Flame elemen age, so she can go here! She's the one who introduced me to Ike and convinced me to give up lying about myself. If I were a little straighter, I probably would've fallen for her.
5. Who was your best friend when you were growing up?
Definitely Bobby. Me and him were tight. He was a lot different when he was younger. When he just a little thing, he stopped talking and laughing, and he wouldn't look people in the eye anymore. Sometimes he'd even throw these tantrums... and then afterwards, he wouldn't say anything for days at a time. A few years after that, he grew out of the tantrums, but he was still pretty quiet. Talked to me though! Sometimes I used to think he talked to me so much because he saved it up from not talking to anyone else. Honestly, when we were alone, he was such a chatterbox! He'd probably get mad if he knew I was talking about him so much.
6. What is your fondest, childhood memory?
Oh, that one's a long time ago. The little girls weren't even born yet, and Dad decided to treat the family to a day at the zoo. I was so small that Dad hoisted me up on his shoulders so I could look at the tigers. Kathlee started getting jealous, so Dad pulled her up too. Man, we must have looked silly. But he didn't care, and he carried us around the whole day, just like that! His back was so sore that he had to stay home from work for the next week, which just meant even more time together... it's the one memory I have where he really acted like a dad should.
7. What is your worst childhood memory?
...the incident. When Bobby was about 9 or so, he still hadn't been able to use his electricty right. I was starting up military school and was away from home most of the time. I got woken up in the middle of the night to a phone call, hearing that Bobby was in the hospital... goddamn I could have killed my father when I saw him. I never did get the full story, but when Bobby couldn't produce enough electricity to even produce a spark, my father really tore him a new one... poor little guy. He was so distraught that he flew into a panic attack of sorts. Dad thought he was just throwing a tantrum, and he locked him in his room. Two days of sending meals up to his room without so much as a peep from him, they finally went in to check on him and found him passed out on the ground, none of the food having even been touched. Bobby was different after that. For awhile, he had a hard time talking, even when it was just me there. I didn't know how to handle it... but as bad as I remember it, it's gotta be a million times worse for Bobby...
Adolescent Questions
1. How old were you when you went on your first date?
You'd have to define "date". Probably when I was around 13? It was a platonic thing with this girl from school. We hugged goodnight. That is totally a date.
2. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it?
I used to be pretty heavy-set in the military-style authority. Always salute your superiors. Nowadays, I answer to the people I care about... and the people who give me my paycheck, hahah.
3. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with?
Skipped high school for military school instead. So... military clique? Were we the jocks? I don't really know.
4. What were your high school goals?
Uhm... graduate. Yeah.
Occupational Questions
1. Do you have a job? What is it? Do you like it? If no job, where does your money come from?
I have two, actually. I work in this cute little family restaurant during the day. I wear this spiffy little uniform and everything, The people are nice, and I get a nice deal on a room above there by working. At night, I work as a bouncer at a real popular gay club in the entertainment districts. It's pretty good pay and I get to see a lot of eyecandy on the job, so aside from the lack of sleep, I got no complaints.
2. What is your boss or employer like? (Or publisher, or agent, or whatever.)
A cute elderly couple and their kids run the restaurant. They've really taken to me like family there, and I'm grateful for it. I don't think they'd judge me too hard if they knew about my second job, but they'd probably encourage me to quit just so I wouldn't be as stressed out and busy... but then I wouldn't make enough to keep paying board there. They told me it could be free, but I can't do that to them. They've already done a lot for me.
3. What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with?
I've got pretty nice co-workers on both jobs, so no complaints there. At the club, the customers I have to deal with are the annoying ones... would you believe Lyle used to be my number one trouble maker? Heh... thinking back on it, he only did try and cause trouble on days I was working the shift. He even left, mid-swing, mid-fight, when he heard I wasn't on that night. He cares, in his own twisted little way...
4. What is something you had to learn that you hated?
If you try and break a bottle to use as a weapon, it'll probably just explode on your hand and cut a finger off. I saw it happen. Twice. It was gross.
5. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why?
I save as much as I can, but I've got a lot of bills to pay... a lot of debts, actually. With my family up in Gaildasia, me and Kathlee split up the family debts and we've been working them off.
Sex & Intimacy Questions
1. Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why?
Gay all the way, bro. Why? Hm. That's like asking why someone likes red over blue. I just do? I'd prefer a sweet ass over a pair of tits any day.
2. Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go?
Hah! Well, to contradict what I just said before, my first time was with a woman. A few guys took me out to a bar and ended up forgetting about me. They were older, and I didn't know them too well. One thing led to another, and next thing I knew this fine lady was offering me a drink. She was a real nice gal, mid-forties, married to a cold bastard, and looking for a way to spice her life up. This bar was cougar town, all right. We talked awhile, and I offered to dance. I guess I got more than I bargained for there... but hey, I gotta admit, the older ladies really know how things work. We hooked up a few more times after that, and not always for sex. I think towards the end she started noticing I was only feeling it when I was drunk out of my mind.
3. Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go?
Hah! Where do I start? Well, my first time wasn't much of an experience. There was a guy in my class who had a little thing for me. He brought me to a room to confess, typical schoolboy crush and whatnot. I was a little confused by the whole thing, but oh man... for the 2 or so minutes we had before a teacher broke us up, every little touch gave me a thrill like you wouldn't believe. It was nothing compared to those nights with my favorite cougs. It wasn't long after that when I was introduced to Ike. Best 8 months of my life.
4. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it?
Geeze, trying to make me blush? Well... for your information, I happen to be a true romantic at heart. I can't think of anything I'd want more than to embrace the love of my life on our honeymoon, the day after we've pledged our lives together. Go ahead and call me a sap. I dare you!
5. What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen?
I dominated two guys at the same time once. That was a good night!
6. Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it?
I love hearing my partner scream. I wanna hear just how much they want me. So I tease and I torture juuust a bit. It's all consensual and it's not like I really want to hurt them, so don't think I'm some kind of heartless bastard... just an innocent sadist~
7. Is there any sexual activity that you will not, under any circumstances, do?
There is so much fucked up stuff I could mention here, but I don't wanna squick the readers.
8. Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?
Well. There's this guy who I. Kinda like. Lyle. He's a real bastard though! He can be really cold and he says cruel things when other people are around. But get him alone in a room, and he's a totally different guy. I've tried not to get my hopes up, but... I could see this working out. I don't see anyone else supporting this, but a guy has needs, you know?
9. What is the perfect romantic date?
A day out on the beach, expensive dinner in a resturant over looking the ocean, and ending with a warm bonfire and sex on the beach. Perfect.
10. Describe the perfect romantic partner for you.
Someone who's not afraid to take me on, but at the same time, makes me want to take care of them. I'm a nurturing fellow, really. Since we're going for "perfect" here, I'd also like them to have an ass that doesn't quit, rippling muscles complete with a 6-pack, and 8 inches at the very least.
11. Do you ever want to get married and have children? When do you see this happening?
Married? Hmm I'd like to. Not too common in Jet City. It's a a little archaic, but I'd still like to. Children? Well, I do love a big family! I plan on adopting 12 kids. Hahah, okay okay... seriously, 7 kids.
12. What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why?
Sorry, I'm just trying to picture how you could have sex without being intimate... it's not possible!
13. What was your most recent relationship like? Who was it with? (Does not need to be sexual, merely romantic.)
Well, I'm still kind of in one, I guess. Before that, it was just a bunch of flings and one nighters. What can I say? I was in high demand.
14. What's the worst thing you've done to someone you loved?
...I left him. I broke his heart... no. I tore it out and smashed it to pieces. I was such a coward back then... I'm glad he has someone now. He needs someone strong who can hold him together. I just wasn't strong enough. He is.
Likes & Dislikes Questions
1. What hobbies do you have?
What are these hobbies of which you speak? Hahah, well, when I'm not working, I love singing. Hell, sometimes I sing while I work! The patrons never seem to mind. Just gotta make sure to keep things G-rated when I'm working the restaurant during the day.
2. Who is your closest friend? Describe them and how you relate to them.
Ike, for sure. Despite our past and all the trouble I've put him through, he still wants to be around me... no, he still lets me being around him.
3. Who is your worst enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along.
Quinn. He is Ike's current boyfriend and goddamn does that guy hate me. Honestly, I only tease him because I figure he'll probably never grow to like me anyway. Otherwise, I think he's a great guy. Also, cute as hell. Ike has good taste. Not that I didn't already know this, all things considered.
4. What bands do you like? Do you even pay attention?
I like most bands, honestly.
5. What tape or CD hasn't left your player since your purchased it? Why?
Lady Gaga. I love that bitch.
6. What song is "your song?" Why?
Prostitution is Revolution, baby. I sing it every night I do karaoke.
10. When it comes to politics, do you care? If so, which way do you tend to vote? If not, why don't you care?
I used to care. Then the government killed my father and drove my family out of the country. Now, as far as I'm concerned, those politicians can shove it.
11. What type of places do you hang out in with your friends?
The bar is always a nice place, even if they're the only ones drinking.
13. What annoys you more than anything else?
When Lyle's not in town... which is most days, really. I know we never really talked about whether we're in an open relationship or not, but... well, he told me he's only been with me since we got together. I wanna try and stay the same.
14. What would be the perfect gift for you?
I would love to come home to a trail of rose petals leading to a bedroom full of lit candles and a beautiful boy spread out on the sheets. Actually, make that two beautiful boys. Might as well go for "perfect" right?
15. What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
...if I said Ike, naked and covered in whipped cream, I wonder who would kill me first: Quinn or Lyle... probably Quinn. Lyle might just agree.

Sex o'clock. True facts.
17. What kind of weather is your favorite?
Bright and sunny.
18. What is your favorite food? What is your least favorite food?

Coffee, black. Keeps me going all day.

I like cats. Tigers are pretty cool, too.

22. What do you find most relaxing? (Not as in stress relief, but as something that actually calms you down.)
Cuddling. Shut up.

I'm pretty easygoing. Unless you have a habit that involves beating me constantly or insulting my family, it's probably not going to phase me.
24. What kind of things embarrass you? Why?
Talking about someone I'm "with". Like, serious-with. Not some one nighter. I don't know why, but it gets me all flustered...
25. What don't you like about yourself?
Nothing. I have the body of a God.
26. How would you like to look?
See above.
Drug & Alcohol Questions
1. How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like?
It was while I was away at military school. A bunch of the guys took us new recruits out
Did anything good come out of it? Did anything bad come out of it?
The first time? Oh man. I don't remember anything about that night, 'cept that I woke up and I was wearing some other guys shirt and nothing else, surrounded by about twelve other guys with hang overs. DOn't go assuming stuff, now! Nothing happened like that. We were just being idiots, you know?
2. Do you drink on any kind of regular basis?
Hrm. I started hitting the bottle pretty hard when I got stationed in Leiyata. They didn't need me to do much, so I had too much free time. And in a war zone, free time just meant more time to watch people suffer... that doesn't do well on a guy. I don't drink like that anymore.
3. What kind of alcohol do you prefer?
Well, it used to be whatever got me drunk fastest... but when I first started off, I know I wasn't too fond of beer. I was more of a vodka kind of guy.
4. Have you ever tried any other kind of "mood altering" substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each?
I might've, a few times. I'll agree to almost anything if I'm drunk enough. I know a few of the older ladies I used to "escort" liked to dabble in some stuff. I tried to avoid if when I could.
5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not?
I think that stuff is poison for the soul in the wrong hands. If you can handle it? More power to you. Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk. If you're lucky, the only thing you'll lose is your virginity. If you're not lucky... well, take a look at me. Lost the respect of my friends, thrown out of the military, broke apart my family... damn.
Morality Questions
1. What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?
What aren't I ashamed of? I've got a lot of stuff to make up for... but most proud?
2. Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won?
That's like asking if I've ever blinked. I argue with Kathlee all the time. Did I mention that sandwich thing before? I should mention it again. Godammit woman, it was a $5 sandwich! Stingy, stingy...
3. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won?
Loads of times. I used to spar with guys in the military for kicks. Not to mention my last job as a bar bouncer. I had to break up fights at least once a night, and that usually ended up with me being part of a fight in turn. I haven't lost yet.
4. What do you feel most strongly about?
Love~
5. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people?
Heh, that's funny. Probably... not caring. I try to seem more laidback than I really am. Not a lot of people have seen me really lose it. Not counting when I'm not sober, at least.
6. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?
Strength. Not the kind that comes from big muscles, but the kind that comes from character.
8. Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you?
Everyone thinks about dark stuff when they're feeling in a dark place, right? I'd be lying like a dog if I didn't admit I hadn't contemplated suicide once or twice... those days when the war seemed like an unending conveyer belt of bodies and there was nothing but a stiff drink to keep me company. Most people up there were afraid of me so I didn't have many friends. I try not to think about those days anymore.
9. What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own?
My family was a little unconventional. My mother gave us all sorts of books and things on beliefs of the past. None of it really stuck to Kathlee, but I remember Bobby really loved it. I don't really know what to believe, honestly.
10. Do you think the future is hopeful? Why?
I'd like to think it is. As long as we're still going on living, we should have hope, right...?
11. Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?
Not quite sure what you're saying here. If I had put in an ounce of prevention to stop my alcholism, and wound up with a pound of intervention, well... hm. Yeah, I'm not getting this. Isn't the cure a good thing?
12. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why?
...murder? Because... it's bad? What do you want from me.
13. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated?
Kill them. Really, what's worse than that? Sure, that's the worst I could do, but not the worst I ever would. Thankfully, I don't hate a lot of people.
14. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why?
Well, the seme is the leader, right? That is so me... okay, seriously now. I prefer to be a leader. Honestly, I never really liked the whole concept of blindly following orders that they beat into us in the military.
15. What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that?
I used to think I had an obligation to protect everyone. When I transferred to Leiyata, I was running away from more than just the "troubles of my heart". I thought I'd find freedom there... instead, I found myself in hell, and in turn, I brought hell onto the people I left behind.
16. Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself?
It takes a lot of hard work, but it can be done. I'm still working on mine. I think it's gotta be take on a person-by-person basis, though. I've already gotten forgiveness in the eyes of some, but others... I don't think I'll ever get it.
17. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?
Please, real men don't cry... that being said, the last time I really cried was my intervention. Tough times, man. Tough times.
18. What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall?
That little belief everyone has, whether they try to deny it or not, that their world is their world and everything revolves around them. If everyone took into account the grand scheme of things in everything they did, the whole world would be like a well-oiled machine all driving towards one goal for the greater good. But everyone is a little selfish. And that selfishness keeps life interesting.
Miscellaneous Questions
1. What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that's scarier than that? What do you think that would be?
War is scary. Facing your inner demons as a result of war is scarier. I've seen and done both.
2. Has anyone or anything you've ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened?
...well, my Dad died protecting my mom while they were on the run. I felt... numb when I first heard. I didn't know what to think. Was I sad? I don't know. We were never given a chance for a proper funeral, so... I guess I never got a chance to mourn him. Sure, our family had a small vigil of sorts, but... I don't know. There was just so much going on then and so much more happened after. I feel like I should've been more upset then, and if I got upset now, he have probably laughed at me and called me weak... hoping it'd make me stronger... hnn...
3. What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen?
Well, I was stabbed once. Nearly died, too! Kinda wish I got a scar or something from it, because that would be awesome, but healing magic doesn't seem to leave those.
4. How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?
I'm not ticklish at all, actually! Which is a shame. Tickle-fights look like so much fun...
5. What is your current long term goal?
Long term? Find a nice place to live, maybe outside the main city, and get myself a family.
6. What is your current short term goal?
Short term... buy a sandwich. It's come up a lot in this thing. Dammit, I'm hungry!
7. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?
Well, I used to be a big drinker. I'm trying to stay sober these days.
10. How private of a person are you? Why?
Not at all, really. Why? Not sure. I'm just an open guy, I guess.
11. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?
I'd probably donate it to some charity or something. I'm a nice guy, dammit.
12. What would you wish for if you found a genie?
That depends. How hot is the genie?
13. What do you do when you are bored?
...the safe-for-work answer says I watch TV or something. The not-safe-for-work answer says otherwise. Oh, and if Lyle is in town, I'm much too busy for TV. Much too busy.
14. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening?
Castration. I wouldn't be able to live, I tell you!

THE END. I may do this for more characters if I get bored. It's fun. :3c
