Oh pipe down Jarnball.
The jacket was classy, the fashionista in me couldn't help it.
(there's not much more left huh xD) 24, 28, 29, (if it's not spoilerous, 30)
24- Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?: Well there's obviously his spells, but that's a bit too obvious so let's go for the next one. He's surprisingly good at alchemy and potion making, despite how time consuming they are and how patient he has to be sometimes he is highly adept in both crafts.
28- Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?: He's not really sure who he would class as his 'best' friend, he has Rhodey and Pepper and not really anyone else. As for enemy, Anthony isn't exactly a popular character and it is not difficult for him to piss people off, his own thoughts on who his worst enemy is no longer a threat or even an issue but the feelings are still there.
29- Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?): It wouldn't really be much of an issue to him, it would be easy for him to extinguish the flames and repair any damage done. The only thing he would be concerned about is if there were anything living in his penthouse when said fire broke out.
(and sadly 30 is kinda spoilerish >.< )
11, 12, 13 annd 18~
11- Intellectual pursuits?: Well, there's his magic obviously, Anthony doesn't feel like he's learnt a craft properly until he's done his research, the history of it, it's origins and everything like that. It can be boring sometimes but he like to know. Other than that Anthony is pretty much always on the look out for new things to learn and study, though he found Midgardian history to be incredibly dull and has mostly given it up as a bad job. He is also quite interested in learning about enchanting, he can do basic things, but it is quite a complex skill.
12- Favorite book genre?: His magical texts, he has read a fair portion of them already, but with the sorry state of the Asgardian library magical tomes were not easy to come by so he frequently seeks out more. He is also intruiged by folk lore stories on every realm, Midgardian fantasy holds some appeal to him as well.
13- Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?: Anthony is more than liberal with his own sexuality, if anything he is intellect-sexual, if someone does not hold his interest mentally then he won't even consider sleeping with them, regardless of their physical appearance. His view on sexuality is more or less 'do who you please' though he struggles to understand how a large portion of people on most realms, not just Midgard, will disregard a good mind for a pair of good legs.
18- Favorite beverage?: He doesn't really have a favourite, there are many he enjoys and which one he prefers changes often.
4 (and no sweets anywhere?), 10, 14, 19 annnnd 22!
4- What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?: If this happened Anthony would likely forgo the kitchen and food until the space was clear. Unless he was ravenous he would rather avoid other people in the kitchen when he uses it, he is cautious with his food and though Midgardian poisons would have little to no effect on him he has fallen foul of such things before and does not want to get out of the habit of being so paranoid about things he has to injest.
10- Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?: I think the only neuroses he has is his OCD tendencies with regards his books and alchemical components. He hates it when something is not where it should be because he always puts it back in the right place, if it is not there then it can agitate him. Though he doesn't see it as neurosis, just being orderly becuase there's a reason to it.
14- Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.): His God-like system prevents food intolerances and most long-term illnesses and though it solves the majority of injuries he does have an unpleasant scar on the back of his head. It starts just above and behind his right ear and runs down to just below the hairline on his neck. (And I can't tell you how he got it XP)
19- What do they think about before falling asleep at night?: This is a tricky one as it changes frequently, it depends on what has been on his mind, it can be past events, spells or anything that has been prevalent during that day.
22- Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?: Again this is an incredibly variable answer, though it is not something he will do frequently he sometimes will sketch animals he has come across during his travels. He makes detailed and intricate sketches that show not only how the creature looks but it's musculature and skeletal form. Though he could just as likely start crafting simple runes that when used will explode like a firework or send a spectral rabbit hopping around the room.
3 (since you answered already about magic, I will ask physically), 5, 8, 39 aaaand 40~
3- Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?: Though he does like to keep himself strong and flexible Anthony doesn't pay as much attention to his physical work outs as his magic ones. His work outs are similar to Midgardian yoga, being a magic user he values speed and agility above raw strength, though he isn't lacking in that area either.
5- Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.): Anthony is incredibly fussy, though he does not care about getting filthy in the first place he will clean himself fastidiously once he has the opportunity. He despises being grubby. He is the same with his workspace, he keeps it as clean as possible, even while he is working on something as it makes it far easier for him to reach for the things he needs without having to look around. It is something he has practised so much it is second nature for him.
8- Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging: Anthony's favourite indulgence is a liquor from Svartalfheim, he rarely drinks it as it has a rather potent effect but it is something he enjoys immensly. Not only does the liqour get a person drunk it produces some rather intense hallucationations that effect all senses. He sees little harm in indulging, but the stronger the physical and mental effect, such as the ones from the liqour, the stricter he is with them. He likes to keep himself alert and aware, but such things as sex are in his mind free to be indulged as much as he desires.
39- What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?: Assuming we're talking mentally not physically/magically then Anthony loves nothing more than to pour through his books or play with his magic, he likes his simple comforts when he needs time to regroup. He will make hearth fires dance and take on different shapes and forms or create shadow puppets from the smoke, or he will simply curl himself up somewhere warm and re-read his books, you can tell which he favours as their pages and spines are worn and well used, he can never bring himself to fix them unless they are on the point of breaking. He likes the well-loved appearance.
40- Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?: I wouldn't say Anthony has a superiority complex exactly, he is a show off and is fixated on getting the upperhand in near enough everything, but it isn't to mask feelings of inferiority. He has always struck out on his own path and has always been headstrong, his attitude is more to see how far he can push himself and to show others how far he has come. Though there are areas where he does struggle with inferiority, that's not the reason he shows off and always strives to be the top dog.
2, 6, 32, aaand~ 46
2- Do they have any daily rituals?: One thing he always makes time for is to practise his magic, sometimes this just requires some meditation as the magic core can drain and requires rest but not unconciousness. Magic can weaken if not 'exercised' so he always makes time so that he can keep his skills sharp.
6- Eating habits and sample daily menu: Anthony is a terrible eater, a large majority of his diet is sweet things. He has always had a rather large sweet tooth and the goodies that Midgard has on offer are far too tempting for him to resist. Though he is partial to spicy foods as well.
32- Thoughts on material possessions in general?: While Anthony places little value in meaningless possessions he does love material things. Often it will be things that he has collected while travelling through various realms, though they are never simply 'trinkets'. He collects talismans, rune boxes, shaman staffs and things of a similar nature. He has no desire for things that are purely asethetic, he has lived a long time and visited many, many places, if he collected pretty items for everywhere he would have no living space left.
46- Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?: Both usually, he has a tongue that won't stop wagging but finds keeping still dull, he will express himself through deeds but will be talking all the while. Unless it is something emotional, in that case he will ignore it and pretend like it doesn't exist, chosing to neither speak of it or act on it wherever he can.
Also 23, 26, 35 aaaand 36!
23- How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?: Surprisingly, he's actually incredibly organised. The only time he's not is when he's doing research or learning a new type of magic or spell. Everything has it's place and will go back when he's done, that way he can get to it all easier when he needs something in a hurry. If he got the wrong ingrediant while making a potion things could go terribly wrong and potions can sometimes have a very precise time for ingrediants to be added, if he had to fumble around for it he'd have ruined a potion and wasted his ingrediants.
26- Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?: Anthony generally doesn't plan too far into the future, he's a very spur of the moment character. The only time you'll really find him planning for the future is if he's plotting an in-depth prank or has a very delicate operation to pull off to aquire an item. He doesn't have any back-up plans for his pranks, if they don't work he'll just get pouty but all his 'heists' are double and triple planned in case something doesn't go quite the way he's intended it to.
35- What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?: Well as before, he doesn't consider anything he enjoys a waste of time, it still has a purose, even if that purpose is only his own entertainment. It still has a reason and thus, isn't a waste.
36- What makes them feel guilty?: It's difficult to make him actually feel guilty, but one thing that he always feels incredibly guilty over is his mother's current state. (I can't go into details I'm afraid XP)
7, 17 and 20~
7- Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time: Well, Anthony's idea of 'wasting time' is kinda odd, if he's enjoying himself, even if he's just petting something fluffy or planning a bit of mischief he doesn't see it as 'wasted'. Wasted time means you've done nothing interesting so he doesn't have a favourite way, cause if it's wasted it's boring and he'd rather do something else.
17- Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress: Aah now this is a fun one, Anthony prefers a more Asgardian style of dress, leather and metal and furs but if he's trying to blend into the Midgardian world he prefers a more classy look, vest, dress trousers, that sort of thing. He has to double check everything before he puts it on, for all the mess he causes he hates messy clothes. If there's a mark or dirt or similar on his clothing he has to fix it before he puts it on. Even if he's not got any plans to go anywhere and will be doing research, his clothes cannot be anything less than pristine when he puts them on.
20- Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?: Being the adventerous child that he was Anthony frequently got himself in trouble regarding his health. He would explore parts of Asgard where poisonous plants and venemous creatures lived and until he started finding paths between worlds he would frequently end up with mild poisonings or infected wounds. Once he started exploring other realms it was a different matter, he would still end up with the occasional poisoning he started contracting viruses from other worlds. He once caught the Jotunheim equivalent to flu, he passed out in the snow and ended up with severe frostbite, he was found and the thanks to the great skill of Asgardian healers he survived, but it was touch and go for a while.
