Bonus points if there are illustrations or quotes to justify your answers. ✨
Wow, thank you Anon! (I mean... "Anon"... 👀) You really want to read all this?!
8. Who has the worst luck?
Zak, maybe. He's adamant in staying out of trouble, but trouble keeps on finding him!
13. Do/Did any of your characters have large ears they had to grow into as a kid?
Ulrik... Nah, they're still big. 🤡 So, it would be Altair!
14. Are any of your characters nonverbal?
Ash probably, and Juliva.
21. Do any of your characters have heterochromia?
Ash! She's my only character whith heterochromia, and it wasn't even intended at first. But, writing her background story and the part where she's gravely wounded during a hunting accident changed one of her natural green eyes to a blue-ish hue.
22. Do any of your characters have someone named after them? Or are they named after someone else?
Altair isn't the only "Altair" branch in his very extensive family tree, and also Mereel (one of the kids rescued by the Mandos on Aq Vetina in "The Foundlings") has obviously been named after Mand'alore Jaster Mereel.
29. Are any of your characters nameless? (In that there is no legal record of them existing, they just don’t have names in canon, or history remembers them but not their name?)
... Not one that I talked about here, but he's only known as "Sarge".
32. Do you have any characters who are twins?
Yep! Jo and Josh, Merry's cousins. And Guten and Borg, Ash's adoptive brothers (she's the adopted one).
37. Did any of your characters have a fever they almost died from as a child?
Ash again! After the hunting accident, she almost died while being treated because of said fever. Luckily, Walter and the Crone were good at healing people... 😰
44. Are any of your characters overshadowed by other siblings? Or have parents who clearly have a favorite? (ex: Boromir and Faramir)
Vivian, by her baby sister. She loved her, but so did her parents and she felt left aside. And sadly, she didn't imagine it even though she might have exaggerated it all in her child's mind...
48. Are any of your characters apprentices?
Ash was, Zak too... And Elara, somewhat. But also the main character of a fantasy story with dragons I wrote long time ago.
50. Are any of your characters Good Dads ™?
Neal, even though he isn't around as much as he should, but Korben too. I think Din's biological father (and mother!!) was exactly what Canderous would praise against stupid Dantooine farmers whinging about not knowing what to do to protect and save their children, and Korben made a point for Din to remember them and their courage daily. Korben had a son and a foundling before Din, so he knew already what loss and pain could do to a child and how to handle it... even though after his son and foundling left the covert, he wasn't too eager to take another under his care. Until he saw that silent kid mesmerized by the controls of his ship... 😊
68. Are any of your characters intimidatingly beautiful?
Personally, I'd say Juliva and Litti (because Ana Torv and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are just gorgeous 😍). But none has been written to be seen or recognized as such. I'm not sure Isaac (Juliva's brother in arms and now husband) even noticed how pretty I think she is, and Ela just loved how nice and caring Litti was with her.
74. Are any of your characters associated with flowers?
... none that I've ever talked about here either. (She's called Lily.)
75: Do any of your characters wear glasses, sunglasses, goggles, or monocles?
Elara wears goggles, Leona wears glasses after a long, tiring day and Vivian and Merry wear sunglasses anytime they need. No monocles but I feel like Anton could fit in here too, because of his stupid gunner helmet 😝
77. Have any of your characters had to kill a friend?
I... don't think so?! 😲 But I have a gnawing doubt now.
84. Do any of your characters have gaps in their teeth or are missing teeth?
Vespera had a gap between her front teeth when she was a child. But not anymore.
92. Have any of your characters started and/or led a revolution?
Vivian started a revolution, somewhat. But if not her, then Ash. Not exactly a revolution though. More like raids?!?! It was against bandits and highwaymen so I'm not sure it can apply as "a revolution" though...
96. Which character is The Proudest ™ of their kids?
Crahl, for starters. All the kids he trained are his pride and joy. But Elara too! She's so proud of Jakem even though he's not her son, and now she's so proud of Tip-yip too!!! She doesn't understand SHIT about all that Jedi stuff but she doesn't care all too much either, so... What she sees is that he knows a lot of stuff, and understand even more!! And that's all she needs. 💖
100. Are any of your characters queer?
Well, Elara? Her most loving and lasting relationship was with a woman.
108. Are any of your characters dogs?
Astro and Nerio. The first is [REDACTED]'s dog and the second is Altair's.
114. Do any of your characters insist on going by their fullname rather than a nickname?
Hmm. I think I have more characters doing the very opposite of that and preferring to go by completely different names like Zak using the name of his dead best friend, Ulrik being known under specific names by his snitches and other contacts, Vivian trying not to trigger Lawrence's script by using her college nickname/username in the park, Elara having a heap of nicknames and monikers given who's talking to her because she can't bear to hear people she barely know call her "Ela" like her parents, brother and Din did...
Well! Now that I think of it, Elara would be one of them! She'd rather be called "Elara" or even by her family name than to be called "Ela" by strangers!
115. Do any of your characters have an honorary father figure?
Ash could count Walter (the grumpy asshole who taught her how to become a demonist) as an honorary father figure, I guess?! 🤣
120. Do any of your characters have PTSD?
Sadly, a few yes. Vivian and Ulrik were my only shell shocked characters, and Vespera has been added to the roster now... because of awful things she recently saw and had to run from during one of our game session! 😭
126. Are any of your characters on good terms/still friends with an ex?
Elara! Litti is still a very good friend of her.
132. Who is the precious cinnamon roll?
Answered here! But I could add Mereel too! This kid is the sweetest there is in all the galaxy.
133. Have any of your characters ever been caught in a fire or explosion?
First, there was Zak.....
"There was a mosquito in the basement... so I threw a match in the powder kegs."
And now, little spoiler for upcoming chapters of Lost and Found, even though he isn't exactly *my* character:
146. Were any of your characters disowned or abandoned by their parents?
Ulrik, kinda. His mother helped him out of the house because the tension with his *cough* 'father' *cough* was getting out of hand. So she caught him as he was planning to flee on his own, gave him a few aquilas, and kissed him farewell and good luck. 🥺
153: Do any of your characters embody the spirit of a flapper? (Bonus points for style and or lifestyle)
A "secondary-ish" character in my Westworld series: Marge, a colleague of Vivian's. Also Adelaide and Leona.
163: Are any of your characters autistic? (If so, do they have special interests and what are they?)
... according to @hathorik , Elara would be... ?!?! Even though she hasn't been written to be.
She loves numbers and languages, but I don't know if these interests are any special! Speeder bikes, maybe???
165: Who is a “girls just wanna have fun” character?
Marge again! She's boisterous and a very big mouth but I think she's hidding a lot of anxiety behind her behavior... (PUN INTENDED)
169: Are any of your characters married to the sea?
Does Elara count? Not exactly the sea but space... Litti can tell that you can't keep Ela on the ground for too long.
172: Do any of your characters hold a grudge against someone?
