Peter Wiggin, Ender’s Game/The Shadow Series
((OOC: This is Peter post Shadow Puppets/beginning of Shadow of the Giant, when he’s still young and hasn’t managed to unite the world yet. Because that’s more interesting/fun to play than an old, married, happily successful Peter, IMO))
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
I’m not entirely sure why this question matters. I haven’t given much thought to the issue of what my favorite cheese is. I’ve had more important things on my mind for my entire life.
If I have to answer, there was some nice cheese made in a town near my compound in Brazil, I suppose, though I never bothered to find out what it was called. All I can say for sure it that Ender always loved American when he was little and I can’t stand it.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Why does everyone assume I want to kill people? I admit that I went a bit overboard with threats to my brother and sister when we were young, and perhaps cutting open living squirrels wasn’t the best thing to do, but that was a long time ago. Wasn’t putting an end to the Or do we forget that I was instrumental in stopping the League war as a teenager enough to redeem me from that? Why are people always failing to acknowledge that since then I’ve always done my best to prevent killing? Just because I’ve occasinly used wars to my advantage doesn’t mean I like war. I’m Hegemon, not God. I can’t help it if the world is intent on ripping itself apart. Besides, what’s good for me is good for the world. I’m trying to unite Earth in a peaceful democracy here. Sorry that I also happen to enjoy the power. If someone else would step up to the plate I might let them, but no one is offering. Or would you rather be living under China’s dictatorship right now? Or is Islam more your style? Because that could happen if I don’t keep on doing what I’m doing.
And as for this question, I don’t even know who those people are. If either of them tries to kill me, or plans on killing me, or starts trying to take over the world for their own gain, then I’ll kill them, no question. I’ve learned from that incident with Achilles. But unless that happens, why would I kill someone who hasn’t done anything to me? I think it would rather discredit me as Hegemon if it ever got out, for one thing. And I’d rather keep that position, thank you.
3. What time is it where you are?
03:00. I have trouble sleeping sometimes. The weight of the world can do that to a person.
4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them?
What possible advantage would there be in sexually harassing an Order member? Unless I, as Dumbledore, knew one of them was a spy for Voldemort, in which case I would sexually harass the spy, to distract them or upset them enough that they wouldn’t continue to report back to Voldemort.
5. If you are pushing to be in:
A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
I don’t want to think about the circumstances that would reduce me to bartending. But if I were so reduced, I can’t really say what the bar would be called. I've never exactly had a lot of experience with bars…too busy saving the world since childhood, and all of that. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that every bar across the world is now named "Ender’s Bar," or "Ender’s Tavern" or just plain "Ender’s." After all, since an entire generation of children was named after my oh-so-saintly little brother, I’m sure many bars were too. What better way to celebrate our perfect little hero than to go drinking at his namesake every night? I can’t even imagine the humiliation having to bartend at a bar called “Ender’s.” How perfectly If that ever happens I’ll finally be sure there is a God, and I’ll know he has a sick sense of humor.
6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.
I am Hegemon of Earth. While that title doesn’t mean as much as I intend it to one day, I do control an elite group of soldiers led by the best military mind on the planet, so if there is anyone you need to take out…
Beyond that, my political influence is strong, and my network of contacts, both from my time as Hegemon and from my early days on the net under the pseudonym the ‘Locke,’ is immense. So if you’re looking for personal advancement, or if you need a bit of classified information, or anything of the sort, I’m sure I could do something for you.
