100 Questions

[Marmadue]

So uh, it's this thing. The big list of 100 questions for characters I'm sure you've seen circulating on the internet at some point! So, if you feel like you don't have anything to do or want to do some CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, here's your chance! No reason to like, answer every question if you don't want to, you could also return later to fill in any blanks.

But let's make this interesting: as these questions are asked about your character and they are to answer in-character, some kind of mysterious power forces them to speak the truth even if they don't want to?! Or at least, what they believe to be the truth. They can't just answer "I don't know" either, even if they don't know. _{Of course, if you don't know as the player and don't think you can come up with it on the spot, you don't have to answer!}

[Marmadue]

Guess I'll start filling this in one group of questions at a time!


Part 1: The Basics

1. What is your full name?

    Ah, Marmadue. Just Marmadue. I do not ah, have any other names or family names.

2. Where and when were you born?

    In the village of Shella, during fall. Ah, time flies…

3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)

    My father and mother? Ah, well, they both are… Ah, well, my father, Mephoge, is an alchemist. My mother, Ulma… Was an alchemist, as well. They both used to travel across the world in search of myrrh when the time came, for Shella's crystal. A very reputable task, that. Risking one's own life for the rest of the village. Really, if it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't be here right now! In more ways that ah, one, of course.

    My father… Well, he is rather quiet these days, I would say. Subdued. Ah, well, I haven't seen him in a while, but the last time I saw him, he was like that. I… I can understand why. But he is skilled and knows much – and ah, I suppose he is also my teacher and mentor, passing down his craft to me. He can be a bit forgetful and forget to ah, make sure he eats. I would often concentrate on the housekeeping when he was lost in his thoughts. But I know he cares for me, he always has. He raised me by himself, for the most part. I am certain that even now, he is searching for me, hoping that I am unharmed. I hope the same about him, of course. I'm unsure how he would handle it if he believed he had lost me as well. It is possible he might start feeling that way… And ah, I have always been worried about what would happen if he felt like he had lost everything. That is why I never really objected to anything…

    It has been quite long since I last saw my mother. I was quite young when she passed away, but I do have some memories of her. Perhaps I only ah, have remembered all the good things, but I would say she was a good mother. It takes a certain kind of a person to become a crystal caravanner, after all. A selfless nature. Se was kind. Perhaps sometimes she was a bit strict, but I am certain mothers need to be that way. But her hands were soft and warm. I remember that.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?

    I am the only child in my family.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.

    Ah… I am afraid I no longer live in my village of birth, though this change has been quite ah, sudden. I now reside in a place they call Twilight Town, a rather… Ah, well, it's quite difficult to put into words. It has certainly seen better days, its buildings in ruins and the sky covered in an eternal night. It is not choice that brought me here, I am afraid. But I have taken refuge in a small house that seemed to be a store before it was abandoned, now in a much better shape after I got it cleaned. I suppose, technically, I live alone, though my doors are open to those who have nowhere else to go. So, ah, I do not exactly live alone…

6. What is your occupation?

    I used to study alchemy under the watchful eye of my father, but these days I am ah, a healer of sorts for the people of Twilight Town.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.

    Ah, well, I am a Yuke. Like many of my kind, I am covered in striped feathers. Mine have ah, a slight purple tint to them, bands of lighter and darker shades. I am quite tall compared to many other creatures that inhabit Twilight Town, but quite average when compared to other Yukes. I'm rather slim. We often wear clothes that leave most of our legs bare. I ah, quite enjoy long coats.

    Oh, I am not at all similar to these human creatures you speak of. I do walk on two legs, but my neck and arms are quite long, my hands large and my fingers thick. I do have small wings on my back and a horn sprouting from my forehead. Ah, and I of course wear a helmet covering my face, like others of my tribe.

    My face? Hiding it is intentional. If I told you what was underneath, that would make hiding it quite a useless gesture!

8. To which social class do you belong?

    I… I am quite uncertain about the class structure of Twilight Town. None of us are particularly, ah, well off. However, I suppose my status as someone with the capabilities of healing magic makes me, ah, more useful than some others. So, perhaps… That would make me higher class than some others?

    At home, well. We weren't really ones for classes. My father and I, I suppose we ah, tended to stick to ourselves…

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

    I am free of allergies and diseases. Physical weaknesses… Ah, well, nothing of the sort you are looking for, I am certain. I cannot say I have much in the way of overall physical prowess, however.

10. Are you right- or left-handed?

    I use my right hand.

11. What does your voice sound like?

    To begin with, I suppose I should say, ah, masculine. I do not think I would be mistaken for a female based on my voice. I do lack a deep bassy timbre and I do not think most would describe my voice as being, ah, low. The way I enunciate often has me voice some words, ah, higher.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

    Frequently? Ah, surely I do not, ah, have a habit like that…

13. What do you have in your pockets?

    Ah, let's see… Some munny, some lint, ah…

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

    My, I wonder if anyone would be able to ask such a question fully, even if they truly attempt to! Such would be easier to ask of others, surely.

    As is customary for us Yukes, we do not remove our helmets unless in the presence of those we can trust to see our faces. I suppose some would call that a quirk. Other things, ah… Well, perhaps I have a bit of a habit of being ah, verbose. I can't call myself very brave, either.


Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

    Ah, well, I was content, definitely. There wasn't much to complain about. Simple life, but it was good and peaceful in my village, despite the ah, miasma. My father raised me by himself, for the most part.

16. What is your earliest memory?

    The earliest…? My, that would go quite far back. I wonder… It might not actually be the earliest as memories are ah, fickle, bur… I must have been quite young, very small. Very much able to fit into someone's lap! My parents were leaving with the caravan to collect the yearly required myrrh. I stood by Auntie Aili, holding her hand as I watched them get smaller…

17. How much schooling have you had?

    Why, the usual amount. What a strange question. I have been taught the basics – magic included, of course – and continued my more ah, academical studies under the tutelage of my father. Alchemy requires quite a vast library of knowledge, after all.

18. Did you enjoy school?

    There was nothing wrong with it. I am interested in learning more, I wasn't different when I was a child. A school was an exceptional place for such desires.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?

    Ah, well, perhaps my father. The basics might have been taught by a teacher focusing on teaching children, but they have been further honed under his watchful eye.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.

    Ha, I looked up to most of the adults I knew, believing them to be more knowledgeable and capable than myself – not a conclusion that was wrong, considering that I was just a wee child. I did not have ah, any particular ones – unless you truly wish me to describe everyone I can remember. Mercy…

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?

    I suppose my relationship with my father was… Good, despite everything that happened. I never was one to be unruly, so perhaps I was a rather easy child. There wasn't a reason to fight.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

    I always did quite enjoy tailoring…

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?

    Hm… I have always been an avid reader. And, ah, I quite always like knitting, as well. Digging through dusty attics for treasures was quite exciting to my younger self, an adventure of sorts. A safe adventure…

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

    Ah, I was quiet and obedient. I never quite enjoyed being in the spotlight and would easily find quiet entertainment by myself.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?

    I cannot say I, ah, was. I cannot say it was something I strove for, either. I didn't mind having a lot of time for myself. I got along better with the other quieter and calmer children. There was ah, Jelan, Leonamiel, Bessam… All bright young Yukes many might have, ah, overlooked. None of us were exactly… Exceptional or ah, ambitious.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?

    Ah, a, a kiss, you say? Well, I am afraid I must say that ah, I haven't…

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?

    Ah, well, you see, that too is ah, not something I have, ah, yes…

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

    A normal human, you say? Good sir or madam! What kind of strange definition you have of normal, if only these human creatures are considered such?

    I was born a Yuke. A perfectly normal Yuke, if I might say. As is quite normal in our world. And everyone knows Yukes have a gift for magic. I am no different there. It has always been inside me, though it is something that has been honed with lessons and time. I am more naturally inclined towards ah, non-damaging magic.


Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

      …Not important in the way I would like, but when those Heartless creatures attacked my home and I was… Suddenly in Twilight Town. That certainly changed my entire life.

30. Who has had the most influence on you?

    Ah, well… I was raised by my father and er, we were a bit secluded. I believe I have been with him the most, so perhaps that would be him.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

    I would consider how I have been able to ah, be of assistance in Twilight Town to many despite my ah, shortcomings, to be a rather grand achievement indeed.

    My alchemical achievements? Nothing grand yet, I'm afraid.

32. What is your greatest regret?

    Ah, well, sometimes I wonder… If I had decided to take a different path, something I had been thinking of before I continued the family… Ah, no, it's nothing.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?

    M-Me? I have ah, tried to avoid doing such things! I suppose I did take someone's old store and re-purposed it for my own uses without permission…

    Oh dear. Does that count as theft? I-I would give it back, if the original owner returned!

    _{I also stole a cookie from the cookie jar once.}

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

    Oh, oh dear no.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

    While my life isn't free of frightening moments, the most frightening one out of them… Well, the first time I saw the Heartless, perhaps. I was quite certain I would… That I wouldn't make it.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?

    Ah, I don't think we should be revealing something embarrassing…

    I-I have to?! Oh… Well ah, when I was younger, I kept a diary and ah, I might have accidentally given that in as an assignment instead of the real thing and ah, it was read out loud…

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

    Ah, changing the past. Perhaps many of us wish to do that at some point, but it would change everything, wouldn't it? Even a small change might very well end up affecting more than we could ever think it would. We would no longer quite be ourselves, now would we?

    Even if I would want to… Perhaps I should not…

    _{But a life with my mother does sound like something I would wish to experience.}

38. What is your best memory?

    Haa, perhaps the first time I truly realized what it was that my parents used to do, how important the crystal caravans were. When I was very young, it was quite a difficult concept to grasp, but it certainly felt good to figure out my parents were heroes. The party when they returned was grand and I knew what everyone else knew as well. We celebrated them all, those who had braved the monsters. But I celebrated my parents the most.

39. What is your worst memory?

    Hm, well, I am certain this whole Heartless ordeal would be pretty high up there, but perhaps I have already talked about it enough – and one could say that it's the present, not just a memory! But ah, that time when my father came home alone, that was rather…


Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

    I suppose I try to be optimistic. I cannot say I always succeed. I wonder what that would make me?

41. What is your greatest fear?

    Right now, I worry for my father… The uncertainty is the worst, anything could have happened. Surely he is still fine, and not…

42. What are your religious views?

    I ah, am not religious. It doesn't bother me if others are different. Just do not use your views to dominate others.

43. What are your political views?

    I cannot say I dabble much on that – I wonder if Twilight Town even has anything like that. When it came to my world, I ah. Was happy as long as the Lilties stayed where they were and didn't try to push their ridiculous agenda of past glories on everyone. Lilties as a world power? A horrifying thought, that. No, they are better when they are ah, more limited.

44. What are your views on sex?

    Oh. Ah, uh, oh. Well. It ah, between consenting, mature creatures, it's ah… Well, nothing is wrong with it, of course, I just ah… Well. I-I'm not sure if I am the best one to talk about it…

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

    Ah, I couldn't kill anyone! I suppose there might be cases when ah, it might be considered acceptable – self-defense, for example – but I just… I couldn't.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?

    Again with the humans, I see. I shall correct your mistake for you and include any sapient being into this question. Something that is the most evil… Well, perhaps I cannot even quite imagine what it would be and it's possible I will be shown what truly is the most evil thing anyone could do. But for now, ah… Harming the innocent? I do not know what kind of a person it would take to slaughter an entire village. I wonder ah, if they would even be a person at that point…

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?

    Predetermined? Perhaps not. But that does not mean you could not end up having a soul mate or a true love, yes?

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?

    I shall tell you when I figure it out! But ah, a hypothesis… Finding happiness, yes? It does matter what you do, where you are or who you live with if you are happy. Of course, perhaps you first need to do something that you enjoy, live where you can relax and have someone to love to be happy, but ah… It doesn't have to be much, if it gives you happiness. Others might not consider you to be successful, but ah, it only has to count for yourself.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?

    Ah, well… Sometimes I find it rather difficult to speak my mind. Some people are rather ah, aggressive in their ways, making it feel like they might ah. Attack if disagreed with, yes? I don't really try to hide my thoughts, but we all do have secrets, myself included. And I do wear a helmet. Perhaps I am a very mysterious individual to many?

he's not

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

    Me? Oh, perhaps us Yukes tend to be quite secluded, but other tribes in my home always knew where to come to for magic! I grew up seeing many kinds of people. Biases and prejudices are born out of ignorance, yes?

    _{But let me tell you about the Lilties. Such aggressive tribe they are, always talking about their glory days of the past filled with war. Who even does that? Glorifies war and battle? The Lilties do, for certain. Such a foolish outlook, don't you think? They might be powerful warriors, but they fail to see the bigger picture, what's underneath the surface. Perhaps that is why they aren't very gifted in the ways of magic. Now that requires some intellect, let me tell you…}

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?

    I do not think I could kill a person! Taking their life, that just… Oh, my knees are getting weak just thinking about it… I am certain there is another way? Oh, it would be especially bad if I was forced to do it! If someone else would lose their life if I didn't… Ah please, no more, let's change the subject…

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

    D-Die? Oh, that would be… That would be quite extreme…
