Character Development Game #2

"Well, um, it does depend. I live in a small fishing community in Cornwall, and I love it for the most part, everyone knows each other, but that can also be seen negatively, because everyone knows your business. Mum and Dad often have to make up excuses to where Clementine and I go every academic year. Another negative of living here is that I'm quite far from a lot of my friends, I miss them during the summer!" // Pearl Fulton, The Magic Belongs to Us.

Do you have any fond memories of any vacations you've been on?

"When we were younger, maybe when I was eleven years old, we went to the South of France. Granddad had some property out there and our plan was to go every summer but things always got in the way, like work or more fundraisers or something. But that summer I remember vividly because it was the first time I saw my father so carefree. He would surprise mom by jumping out and scaring her or with flowers and chocolates. He'd spend time with us, throwing a ball around and swimming in the lake with us. I had never, in eleven years, seen him like that. I was almost excited to see him as a new person until we got back to Hickory and that man disappeared. I never saw him again." - Elias Shaw, Wonderland

What does your ideal life look like?

"In all honesty, I'd like to be financially stable. I'd like to be able to support myself and even my family–especially my parents. OH, I also see a little doggie in my future so yeah." – Mia Chow, Everything You've Ever Wanted

Can you describe your favorite time of day without saying morning, afternoon, or night? When was the last time you soaked this feeling in?

"I love when the sun breaks the horizon and its light crawls across my skin, warm and light as a linen blanket. It reminds me of my youth and the orchard. The last time I really enjoyed that must've been more than two years ago – I've been too tired as of late to let the sun wake me." Breelyn, Brickgate

What's the best meal you've ever had? Why was it the best? The company? The atmosphere? Simply the food?

"With Felix being a cook, you'd think this would be difficult but it really isn't. It wasn't even the food - although it was good, sausages and potatoes but these potatoes were literally the best things I have ever put in my mouth - as much as the company. I'd been at university all day and I came home and he'd put everything out on the table ready for me coming in. It was winter - I remember because my hair was covered in snow and he laughed when I shook it all off over the food. That was the last night we shared together without caring who saw us - after that, there were far too little 'romantic' dinners shared." -- Ruedi Schmidt, Tommy Guns

What are your political beliefs?

“Interesting enough, I don’t have any...I don’t know where I stand and that itself is slightly frightening. But anyway, yeah, okay, let’s move on!” - Jaxton, The Jaxton Lie

What are your hobbies or interests?

"Does pushing people's buttons count as a hobby? Cuz I'm pretty damn good at it!
-Mercutio Taliaferro, Romeo and Juliet: A High School Romance

If you had one chance to do one thing you wanted without any consequences, what would you do?

“OBTAIN ALL THE STARBURST I CAN. I love me some Starburst.” —Sebastian, But Doesn’t It Go like This?

Do you have a favorite holiday? If so, why is it your favorite holiday?

"Munich, more for romantic and nostalgic reasons than anything else. Me and my husband met there and for the first few years after we were married, we would go back to the city to reminisce and relax." - Bernadette Winter, Among the Cornflowers

If you could become fluent in one language, which one would you choose and why?

"I'm not sure. I barely communicate with people in my native tongue as it is. I suppose... French? It's one of the only languages I feel I might find useful. I can't imagine myself doing much traveling, but France is a country that's always piqued my interest." - Variel Helling, Unlovable

Do you think love is a necessary aspect in life? Why or why not?

"Necessary? No, but it's definitely nice to know that there is someone who cares... it's even more worth it, when it's the one person that you never thought you could have." Taylor, Hold My hand.

How would you handle an ex that was still after your significant other?

"Honestly? I don't know. I've never really been in a committed, serious relationship before." - Alyssa, California Dreaming

What is the worst thing that's ever happened in your life?

"I would honestly love to be able to say it was the day that the wall went up, because it stopped me from seeing my mother and sister again, but if I'm being truthful, I barely remember it or them. So I'll go with my Dad's passing. He raised me by himself and he's absolutely my hero. The day I realised I'd never see him again was probably the worst day of my entire life." - Holger Sauer, Bloom

What's your favourite city to visit and why?

"I'm not much of a traveler. How could I with all the amount of work I have to do? It's a travesty that you can't hire good workers these days. However, I do remember a trip to Chicago that I took back in university a few years back. Don't tell my brothers this, those imbeciles won't let me hear the end of it, but I adore the architecture there. It may be the only reason why I'd ever go back. That, and they have amazing deep dish pizza." - Matthew Hemmings, Lost Boys

How much does family mean to you?

"Family means a lot to me. If I could bring back my brothers and parents, I would, but I can't. Although family means everything to me, I don't think I can bring myself to form a new one." -Neon, Untitled story

What is the one thing you live for?

"One thing I live for? Right now, it's graduating. I study law and I worked too damn hard to lose focus now, you know? And with all this debt, I guess my ass belongs to the bank, so that too." / Ruby - work in progress, unposted.

What's something that brings you happiness?

"My friends, my family, and my God." -Cat (unposted series)

Can you tell me a secret?
