Character Questions: THE TEST RUN

[gish]

Hey everyone, it's Gish! I had a thought earlier this week about how much fun it is to fill out FORMS. Which is to say, filling out questionnaires and quizzes about your character(s). It was something that went around a lot more with the old LJ Nexus days and in a curious attempt to bring it back in a new way, I thought I'd try this!

Under the cut is a questionnaire about character basics. No one's required to fill this out, or even fill out ALL of it. This is just for funsies and a chance for all of us to talk and think a bit more about our characters.

Depending on how this goes, I might look into making this a regular thing on the OOC comm with different focuses and themes. Anyway, have at it! I look forward to reading any and all responses!

I wanna know if he's ever been to Karthwasten and if he's got any opinions on it. (I have a particular fondness for it, sue me; one of my OCs is married to the landowner.) Esp since the new Sybil of Dibella ended up being from there.

[drehnifusbahi]

Isn't that also where Delphine drags you to watch Alduin rez another dragon? If so, he was a bit preoccupied the one and only time he's been (since I haven't done the Sybil quest yet), but he's sure it's a lovely little town!

[grantuseyes]

Nah, it's the silver mining town on the way to Markarth. Lover's stone is overlooking it. (Which only makes more sense with the Sybil being there.) I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO DO THE QUEST SOON, just because I love talking about Karthwasten. ACTUALLY ON THAT NOTE: What's Van's hot take on the Forsworn?

[drehnifusbahi]

Ahhh, ok. Definitely haven't been, then! Was kind of in the middle of a civil war thing last I played, so maybe after that...

Van's take on the Forsworn... the icon actually sums it up. He can sympathize with some of them, but his time in Cidna Mine (however its spelled) didn't endear him to them or the Silver-Bloods >.>

[grantuseyes]

Hahah oh man, I came out of Cidna Mines like, "FUCK THE SYSTEM. FUCK THE POLICE. FUCK THIS BITCH OF AN EARTH, FUCK THE SILVERBLOODS ESPECIALLY," and ready to destroy the establishment with my own two fists. END THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!

I have a lot of feelings about the Reach natives in particular. Everything horrible about Ulfric started there and boy will I get heated about anything to do with brutal displacement of natives from their own dang land. Throw all Stormcloaks into the sea.

[drehnifusbahi]

Yeah, he's definitely more "fuck the Silver-Bloods and the Stormcloaks" because hey, fair's fair, the Forsworn were there first. Just doesn't mean he has any less of a beef with the ones who've tried to kill him.

(Also, the part where Madanach either didn't actually tell his people not to kill Van on sight, or they elected not to listen.)

[grantuseyes]

HAHA OH NO!! They'll turn on you if you accidentally friendly fire them, which is...really easy to do since they're just a whirlwind of death as you leave. I just hang back and let them kill a thousand guards and then loot quietly in their wake. And then I get to hang out with Forsworn in their cool cave clubhouse afterwards! Win-win.

[drehnifusbahi]

Ok, I guess that must be what happened, then. I don't remember fighting with them, but it *has* been a while...
