PART 1: THE BASICS
what is your full name?
Liam Rufino Murphy.
where and when were you born?
Hn. Kind of hard to say really.

do you have any siblings? what are/were they like?
No siblings.
where do you live now, and with whom?
Well here in this place now and all these wonderful and some not-so wonderful people. Back home I don't got anyone that I live with--besides my cat--just annoying as hell neighbors. Besides Elliot...

State stuff?
write a full physical description of the character.
Unnng.

Salt water taffy and an IOU to Virginia

PART 2: GROWING UP
how would you describe your childhood in general?
Not to bad until England showed up and was a general ass concerning everything. Liked living with both The Netherlands and Sweden, had to admit it was kind of sad seeing them go. Kicking England's ass made up for it though.
what is your earliest memory?

when and with whom was your first kiss?
Don't ask me to remember that far back.
are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Damn, well... she had great legs though. I do remember that.
if you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

A number of people.
what do you consider your greatest achievement?
Getting your own Independence looks nice on a resume.
what is your greatest regret?
Nothing I can think of.
