Mandatory Questions If you can not give positive answers to all of these questions, you may be bored or even unable to participate. At the very least, you will probably need a second character to participate when this one doesn't. 1. What about you is heroic? Well, I don't really back down from things just because I'm scared of it. Other reasons, sure, but never just because I'm scared. 2. What about you is social? What do you like about people? I'm pretty laid back. I like talking to people, just learning more about 'em, that sorta thing. I like a person who can just relax. 3. Of what benefit could you be to the current group? Hey, I'm pretty good with a gun. 4. Why would you choose to join the current group? That damned S. Institute's powermad. I'm tossing my lot in with the ones who left. Maybe they can help me take 'em down. 5. Invent an adventure/plot that your character would actively undertake (as opposed to just tagging along)? A chance to capture and try to fix my old team, huh? Sounds like a plan. I've managed to shake off the brainwashing myself, so maybe I could be of service. Personal Questions 1. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use? (Note: It is common among all ages and werewolves to use either a Shadow Name (in the case of mages) or Garou name to represent the change in their lives. Figure out what yours is.) Hikari Natsumi. Just call me Natsumi. 2. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it? Nah. 3. What do you look like? (Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, apparent age, and distinguishing features) Kinda tall Japanese girl. I'm 17, and I certainly look the part. I dye my hair sometimes, usually red or blonde. 4. How do you dress most of the time? Jeans, short-sleeved shirt, and if I feel like it, sunglasses. 5. How do you "dress up?" ... aw, geez. Do I really have to answer this? Okay, fine. I wear a dress. A stupid dress. Alright? And I have to act all proper and girly-like and AUGH. Anyway, I don't like doing this. 6. How do you "dress down?" Same as above, but probably more wrinkly. 7. What do you wear when you go to sleep? Nice warm robe. 8. Do you wear any jewelry? Nah. 9.

Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.? Just a little house. I keep it as neat as I can, but there's a lot of stuff I have, so I can't keep it all perfectly organized. 12. Do you own a car? Describe it. Nah. I've been thinking about saving up for a motorcycle, though. 13. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much? 14. What one word best describes you? Upbeat. Familial Questions 1. What was your family like? Family's pretty close-knit. Not really a troubled household or anything like that. Unfortunately, I've gotta live alone this year. My parents recently left on an archaeological dig or something like that, so while they're researching and exploring and crap, I've gotta try to make it on my own for now. 2. Who was your father, and what was he like? Dad's a cool guy. He's soft-spoken and really calm-like, but he's buried in his work an awful lot. He's got a fascination with history and ancient civilization and such. Mostly real primitive stuff, like stone age and clay. 3. Who was your mother, and what was she like? She's great. People say I'm just like her. She's upbeat. Enthusiastic but relaxed all at the same time. She works alongside dad most of the time. She's wondering when I'll finally find a relationship, though. Says it's time I started enjoying things deeper than friendships and such. Then she mentioned something about grabbing ahold of life and dragging the future to myself. She's weird like that. 4. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married? Their marriage is alright. They're still married and such. It's kinda cooled off for the moment, but I figure that's probably why they decided to go on that trip. Together. And leave me all alone here. Augh. I'm really missing them. 5. What were your siblings names? What were they like? Well, I've got an older brother. He's off studying art in America right now, though. He wants to be a famous designer of some kind. He's not really a bad or especially stern guy, but he's pretty seriously-minded. 6. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings? 7. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now? Maybe a week or two ago. My parents left pretty recently.

Lots of family members, mostly aunts, uncles, cousins, that sorta thing. Overall, they're an okay bunch though I admit I should probably be closer to them than I am. Childhood Questions 1. What is your first memory? Mom taking me to see a movie. I don't remember what type, but there were lasers. Looked kinda pretty. 2. What was your favorite toy? It was one of those little foam balls attached to a plastic ice cream cone. You'd push a button, the ball would go flying, and you'd have to try catching it again. Seemed simple, but it was really a lot tougher back then. 3. What was your favorite game? Hide and seek, especially with lots of people. It's a great hunt. The sardines variant was great, too. Though terrible for claustrophobics. 4. Any non-family member adults stick out in your mind? Who were they, and how did you know them? Why do they stick out? There was Tsujiai-sensei. She was my kindergarten teacher. She understood pretty well how hard it is to have to spend so much time away from your parents for the first time, and she was pretty sympathetic. At least, long enough until kids shut up about it. 5. Who was your best friend when you were growing up? Probably Miruchi. We met at school and hit it off pretty well. She moved after a while, but we still stay in pretty close contact over mail, e-mail, chats, cell phone calls, regular phone calls, on one occasion, carrier pidgeon. Anyway, we're still pals. 6. What is your fondest, childhood memory? 7. What is your worst childhood memory? Adolescent Questions 1. How old were you when you went on your first date? Um... never been on a date... 2. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it? Authority's fine, so long as they don't exploit people. 3. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with? I'm in high school right now!

Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with? 4. What is something you had to learn that you hated? 5. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why? I usually save it. I wanna buy something BIG. Maybe a motorcycle. Likes & Dislikes Questions 1. What hobbies do you have? Games. Any kind. 2. Who is your closest mundane friend? Describe them and how you relate to them. Miruchi. She's kinda tall, real skinny, and really sedate, oddly. We treat each other like sisters. 3. Who is your worst mundane enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along. Ppf. Megumi. She's this stuck up girl who thinks she's the best at everything and she's at the top of the class and looks down on the sporty types and augh.

Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won? Yeah, been in arguments. Most recent one was with a classmate over what the teacher meant. Turned out the other girl was right. I shrugged, admitted defeat, and went on with my life, and she acted similarly. 3. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won? Um... not really. Some sparring in martial arts classes I used to take, but that's about it. All scripted and such. 4. What do you feel most strongly about? I feel most strongly that your average person is capable of a lot. Everyone's got more potential than they realize. Most people don't reach that potential, sure. But saying people are inherently worthless really bugs me. 5. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people? Um... nothing that comes to mind, really. I pretend to be tough a lot, though. Does that count? 6. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?

Preventing something's much better, obviously. Less bad stuff. 12. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why? Probably enslavement. 13. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated? Beat the crap out of 'em. 14. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why? Um... I dunno, really.

What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that? I just wanna make things a bit better for the little guy.

If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself? Yeah, redemption's possible. Everyone can theoretcally be redeemed, sure. But it's tough. A lot of people are deeply entrenched in their habits. 17. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried? Well, it's okay.

What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen? Broke my left leg, once. Soccer accident. I slipped and hit something hard. Hurt like hell. 4. How ticklish are you?

If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them? I sometimes start to drift off when people are talking to me... it's something I feel pretty bad about. I've got no clue how to get rid of it, though. More coffee, maybe? 8. If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time? Um.... I dunno. I'd probably try to work designing new games or toys or whatever. And I'd spend my time with my family, as well as trying out all sorts of new things. 9. What time period do you wish you had lived in? Why? (Looking at this as an attempt to change history doesn't count.) What appeals to you about this era? Probably the 1960s. Japan was a lot more prosperous then, and things were just generally better. That's what my parents say, anyway. 10. How private of a person are you? Why? Um... just somewhat. I don't really have secrets to hide or anything, but sometimes I like to be alone. 11.

Probably use it to continue living the rest of my life the way I normally do, except without ever having to work again. 12. What would you wish for if you found a genie? Everyone always says "Maybe the next guy will wish for world peace", so it ends up that nobody ever does. Well, that's what I'll wish for. 13. What do you do when you are bored? Play games. With myself, if necessary. 14. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening? Blindness. Everything would be so dark... http://skitten.best.vwh.net/100questions.html
