I apologise in advance.


1. What is your full name?
Lepant.

2. Where and when were you born?
I was born in Kouan, 7th August 416.

3. Who are/were your parents? Did/do they have occupations?
My parents were also merchants, though they've since passed away.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
No, I don't have any.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom?
I currently live in the mansion at Budehuc Castle with Eileen. I wish to return to Toran Castle soon, but that seems unlikely.

6. What is your occupation?
I'm a merchant. I practised the trade for years and had retired, but I now run the trading post at this castle.

7. Write a full physical description of the character. (Third Person)
Yeah, so, Lepant is a pretty tall guy. Not like towering tall, but he's a bit above average, I think. He's in his 40's during the course of the game, and he's really muscular despite all of those muscles being completely covered by his clothes. Which pretty much cover everything but his head. He has a rather raggedy green cloak which he still prefers to wear most of the time rather than the newer clothing ~he just happens to have~ since he doesn't remember the previous McDohl helping him out with money and buying them. But other than that, his clothes are in pretty good shape, and look like typical clothes of men in Scarlet Moon Empire. Even if nothing in terms of clothes is all that consistent in game. But yeah, he looks pretty normal clothing-wise, even if the material and craftsmanship might be higher grade because he could afford it.
Back to his actual body, he has rather messy, long, orange hair that he keeps back in a ponytail. That ponytail reaches somewhere near the center of his back, and his fringe would probably cover his eyes if he didn't push it out of his face. What a rocker. His eyes are brown and pretty ordinary except he always has this rather mean look to them which is only aided by those long eyebrows of his. But he has a nice, strong jaw, tan skin, and short nose. Oh, and a moustache. I can't believe I'm only remembering that now. Yeah, totally has a moustache.

8. To which social class do you belong?
The middle class. The wealth I've accumulated does not change that.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Not as far as I know.

10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Left-handed.

11. What does your voice sound like?
I've never thought much on the sound of my voice, though I don't think it's remarkable.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
I've been told before that I frequently use the word 'what', though that, too, is something I haven't given much thought to.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
My wallet, my watch... I'm unsure what else. I don't carry much else on me.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I don't think so. I used to have the habit of falling out of bed since the one here is so small, but I've since grown accustomed to its size.

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
My childhood was rather ordinary. My father, though, focused heavily upon swordsmanship. As I did with Sheena before he left.

16. What is your earliest memory?
My earliest? ... I remember my father's face. He had a very worn look. That's all I remember of it, though.

17. How much schooling have you had?
I've had a fair amount. I never attended any private academies, but I received my basic education from a school and through my parents.

18. Did you enjoy school?
No. At the time, it bored me.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
My father taught me much of what I know, though I built on it when I left home.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
No, to be honest. I respected certain people, but there was no-one in particular I sought to

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
I got on fairly well with my mother and father. I can't remember a specific incident where an argument got out of hand. They generally turned the other cheek...

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I'm unsure. I began travelling trying to find the answer to that. ... It might have been to be a traveller.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
I enjoyed learning how to use swords. Besides that, I liked to to explore. Kouan seems larger when I think of when I was a child. But I know now that it's not as large as I thought it to be.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Hmmm... I can't say. Besides the scoldings I received from my parents and neighbours, I can't remember.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
I was. I had a group of friends, a few of whom left with me when I left Kouan, but I've since lost touch with them.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
I don't remember. What type of question is this?

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
I refuse to answer such a question! No-one has any need to know the details of that.

28. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
Hmm...
This is something I have to think of more at another time.

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
The birth of my son. His birth changed my lifestyle the most.
... If I think of my future, becoming part of the Liberation Army has been the most important even in my life.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?
My wife, Eileen.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I can't speak for my future, but the greatest achievement thus far has been the success as a merchant. ...I cannot say the same for right now, though.

32. What is your greatest regret?
Not fighting against the Empire sooner.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
I haven't acted evilly before. I'm justified in my actions.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
I had no such record until I revolted against the Empire.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
I was most freightened when Eileen had been arrested and that criminal, Kraze, threated us with her life.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
. . . I never thought I would live to see the day where it was forgotten. So I won't record it now.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
As I previously said, I wouldn't ignored the corruption of the Empire and would have joined the rebellion sooner. I regret that my selfishness put my family in danger.

38. What is your best memory?
Eileen and our marriage. Out of all the events of my past, I recall that time the most vividly.

39. What is your worst memory?
I've answered this too many times. I abstain from answering again.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
I'm realistic.

41. What is your greatest fear?
My greatest fear is to lose Eileen.

42. What are your religious views?
I don't personally believe in any of that.

43. What are your political views?
I believe that a ruler must keep peace in the country. To abuse power and let the country fall into chaos is unacceptable.

44. What are your views on sex?
It's a private matter.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
During war, killing is unavoidable. Under other circumstances, I would not kill. Not unless it was necessary to protect my family. Although, some people do deserve to die for their crimes.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
To kill an innocent person is the most evil thing a persona can do. In war, death is to be expected, but...

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
If I were to believe it, I'd believe that were the case between Eileen and me. I truly love my wife above all else.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Determination and a sense of selflessness.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
I'm honest about them, but I don't freely share them unless necessary.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
No. To hold biases without reason is foolish.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
Under no circumstances would I put what I love in danger.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
Eileen, Kirinji, Sheena. Though Sheena shouldn't need me to.

Part 5: Relationships With Others

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
I attempt to be polite to everyone I meet. My treatment doesn't vary too strongly based on how well I've known the person. It varies based on the reasons we're speaking.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Eileen. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Tyr McDohl. The courage and devotion he has is unrivalled by any other I've met. [Another five paragraphs on McDohl here.]

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
I do, though lately I wonder if time has soured our friendships.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other?
Yes. My wife is Eileen.

58. Have you ever been in love?
I've been in love with Eileen since I met her. Aside from her, I've never been in love.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Years ago, when I sought out potential lovers, I didn't have any strict criteria.

60. How close are you to your family?
I'm close to them. Despite having not seeing my son in months, I don't consider us to be estranged.

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
I have. Eileen has been my wife for these past fifteen years, and our son, Sheena... I hope he learns to be a man. How can I describe them...? Eileen is a lovely woman with blonde hair rather similar to our son's, though lighter. She has been a beside me since for years now, and I don't know if I would be the same man today without her...

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
Here, I'm unsure. I prefer to be self-reliant.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
... Even though I wish she wouldn't, I know Eileen will protect me in the same way I would protect her.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
This question is difficult to answer. I believe a great many would. Especially if I could have lived my own life rather than coming to this place. But particularly my wife, even here.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Kraze Miles. What he did - attempted to do! - to Eileen is unforgivable.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
Avoiding conflict usually avoids further conflicts from developing.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
I do if the situation calls for it.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
I don't mind it. I enjoy interacting with large groups at times, but to speak in a smaller group is often more productive.

69. Do you care what others think of you?
I do. I don't want there to be any question of my character. Ultimately, I can't control others' views of me, and so I don't attempt to.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
Swordsmanship is by far my favourite pastime.

71. What is your most treasured possession?
Kirinji, my family's treasure.

72. What is your favorite color?
Yellow.

Kourabiethes.

74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
I'm not fond of fiction. I'd rather read something useful.

75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
Once, years ago, I took Eileen to a theatre. While I generally don't go to such venues, the show was enjoyable.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
I drink, though not as heavily as others may do. I have no reason to quit.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
With Eileen.

78. What makes you laugh?
It depends on the mood. Sometimes, it's impossible not to laugh, even a inappropriate times.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
Many things do, but I can easily lose my temper if it involves my wife.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
I would leave and find a way to spend my energy. At home, I would walk to the room Kirinji was kept in and practice with it. But here, I usually just take a walk.

81. How do you deal with stress?
I resolve whatever's causing it. I know now that letting it fester only makes the matter worse.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I've been told I often act rashly, but if it's important enough, I prefer to have a plan.

83. What are your pet peeves?
Hervey. Grown men that act childishly.

Part 7: Self Images And Etc.

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you.
Here, a large part of my day is spent tending my trading post. I wake, prepare myself, and leave to work there. When the day's done, I return to the room Eileen and I have made our home.

85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
My ability to think quickly.

86. What is your greatest weakness?
Acting rashly hasn't always served me well.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wouldn't change anything. The person that I am has caused me to lead a successful life thus far.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
Extroverted.

89. Are you generally organized or messy?
I tend to be organised, though it's a learned skill.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Hmm... I'm good with a sword, finances, and finding opportunities. I'm bad at being patient, tactful, and... many other things.

91. Do you like yourself?
Yes.

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer?
When I was young? It was because I enjoyed it. There's no other reason behind it.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I seem to accomplish a lot in this lifetime. Beyond what the books and my memory say of my achievements, I want to be proud of my son.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I would like to be in the Toran Republic once more and living my own life through.

95. you could choose, how would you want to die?
I wouldn't want to choose my own death, but if it were required of me, I would choose the quickest method.

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
... I would like to spend the last of my life with my family, and I would spend the last hours making preparations for them.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
I know that, regardless of my wishes, that I will be remembered for my future accomplishments.

98. What three words best describe your personality?
I'm tired of these questions. I'm ending this now.

--

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?
Stop being a dickhead, Lepant.
