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!

This is going to sound every kind of lame but I did not realize Felix was shorter than Jim.

Eh, it's not something I'm too specific or even consistent about in play. I just assume 'significantly smaller than a Nord' and leave it there because I'm not very good at visualizing heights. Hence the '-ish' at the end. ;)

(Not unrelated: I had a character in days of yore who was about 5'4'' but muns tended to assume from his icons he was at least 6'. Many quiet corrections in narration ensued.)

I cheat and use Chris Pine's measurements tbh because im also bad at that
