---

Who/What are you?
Kae: I am an elf. That's all you need to know.
Ryan: I am elven, and the next in line for the Asrian throne.
Arador: I am the elven king of Asres, though I would much rather be a part of the Aragadian empire...
Merrick: At this point, I really don't know if I'm a bird or an elf...

Talisen: That information is classified.
Tayven: I'm the mage who wishes there were scholarship programs in Velar...and I'm half-elven.
Elle: If I told you, I would have to kill you, and we wouldn't want that now would we?
Tarasse: I am one of the oldest surviving elves in Velar. In this thread...He plays a significant role in theirs, too. *points up at the other four* But he's a loooot younger in that one.


Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Kae: I have one older brother-he's my hero. But don't tell anyone! I'm supposed to be the hero in this story...
Ryan: My younger sister, Kaeyara, has always been the person in this world I hold most dear.
Arador: I had a younger brother at one point, but he has since been taken from this world. Fool decided to try and resist the humans.
Merrick: I honestly don't remember...

Talisen: Any information about my family must remain secret for their owns safety.
Tayven: I don't have a twin brother, I have an insufferable moron who sleeps at my house occasionally. His name is Talisen.
Elle: ... Let's not talk about my immediate family, alright?
Tarasse: Sadly, I am the last surviving member of my family. I do recall having an older sister at one point.

What's your height?
Kae: Short. She's only 5'4"!
Ryan: Six feet, two inches.
Arador: Tall enough to be imposing to my subjects.
Merrick: About a foot...if you don't count my tail...

Talisen: 5' 10".
Tayven: I believe, the last time I took measurements, that I measured approximately five feet, seven and a half inches tall.
Elle: Tall enough to kill my targets.
Tarasse: In the end, height is really of no importance, Ellemere. What matters is the skill with which you wield your weapon.


How old are you?
Kae: Younger than I should be.
Ryan: Twenty-four, four years older than my sister.
Arador: Old enough to still hold some authority over that loose canon niece of mine...why they ever gave her that stone is beyond me.
Merrick: I lost count a while ago...years don't really matter when you're a bird.

Talisen: Um...I graduated from Falling Leaves how many years ago...?
Tayven: We're twenty-one, Tally.
Elle: Old enough to know what's best for me, but young enough not to care.
Tarasse: I...would rather not disclose that information... It's over 5,000!


Are you a virgin?
Kae: Should I kill you now, or later? You really don't want to open that can of worms...
Ryan: Kaeyara, calm down...there is no need to use Chaos here... And no, I am not.
Arador: No.
Merrick: I...think so...

Talisen: You aren't seriously asking me that question.
Tayven: That is entirely too personal of a question to ask here.
Elle: Nope.
Tarasse: I never saw fit to take a wife.


Who's your mate/spouse?
Kae: Who needs marriage? I'm the Fighter!
Ryan: Amaya Rivikintinau, the Peacemaker and unfortunate balance to my sister.
Arador: I would scarcely call Caelil my wife. She certainly doesn't act like one, always trying to interject herself in matters that do not concern those of her disposition.
Merrick: I know the answer to this one! I don't have one...

Talisen: Uh...am I allowed to say? I actually don't know... Eemi, I guess.
Tayven: You guess? Talisen, I'm ashamed of you. After all you two have gone through! Imagine how devastated she'll be when she hears that. I know I would be crushed if Raed ever "guessed" he was married to me.
Elle: I haven't got time for that.
Tarasse: As I said, I never saw fit to take a wife.


Do you have any kids?
Kae: Not as of this moment in time.
Ryan: I have one adorable six-month-old daughter named Elia, in honor of my mother.
Arador: All I can tell you is that there has been a slight delay in the production of a true heir to my throne.
Merrick: I'm a man who was turned in to a bird. What do you think?

Talisen: I...at the risk of angering my sister again, I'm going to say yes. I have one son and one daughter, both of whom I am proud to say are following in my footsteps by attending Falling Leaves.
Tayven: Yes. What? No long-winded answer? Lame...
Elle: Of course not! With my hectic schedule, I could never...
Tarasse: Unfortunately, no.


What's your favorite food?
Kae: Anything that travels well. Bread.
Ryan: I honestly haven't ever considered it.
Arador: Roasted peaches with crushed toasted pecans and frozen cream.
Merrick: This is going to sound really bad to you lot, but I like rabbits...

Talisen: NOT fried boots.
Tayven: Scrambled eggs with bacon, mushrooms, and cheese.
Elle: APPLES!!!!
Tarasse: Soldiers' rations.


Have you ever killed anyone?
Kae: Of course I have. My title is the Fighter, after all. Well, one of her titles is the Fighter...
Ryan: I have, and I am deeply sorry for it.
Arador: Of course not! That's what my executioner is for.
Merrick: Repeat after me: I'm a bird.

Talisen: It's my job.
Tayven: Not intentionally...
Elle: I second Talisen's response!
Tarasse: A soldier cannot be held accountable for the lives he takes on the field of...yes. Yes, I have.


Do you hate anyone?
Kae: Can I hate an inanimate object? Because I would love nothing more than to smash this stone against the wall...provided it doesn't kill me.
Ryan: Dagramar.
Arador: I don't truly hate anybody, though my current situation is less than enviable...
Merrick: My grandfather, for changing me in to a bird and then trying to roast me and eat me.

Talisen: Rhys, the bastard! I would kill him a thousand times if I could!
Tayven: Talisen, calm down. We all know you despise Emperor Rhys, just as I do.
Elle: My sisters...and my mother...and Rhys, him too...
Tarasse: By the time you reach my age, you realize that expending energy on emotions like hate simply isn't worth it.


Do you love anyone?
Kae: I love my brother, but in that brother-sister kind of way. Nobody else. And certainly not that shadow mage that's been following me around of late.
Ryan: My family.
Arador: Myself...and my subjects, of course.
Merrick: Nobody................. Kaeyara........

Talisen: I have a wife and two kids. What do you think?
Tayven: My relatives, both living and deceased.
Elle: I would say both my cousins, but sometimes I wonder about that Talisen kid...
Tarasse: I feel the love of a father for his children for each student I have under my care.


What is your job?
Kae: I'm the Fighter! And a princess, don't forget that one.
Ryan: I act as a political consult for my uncle, as well as a father for my child and a husband for my wife.
Arador: ...being the king?
Merrick: I'm just a sidekick...

Talisen: I'm a first-class graduate of Falling Leaves and a working assassin for the crown of Woodrealm.
Tayven: I act as the headmistress of the Academy of Magics on Lightrealm, as well as a mother of two.
Elle: Again, I second Talisen's answer.
Tarasse: I am the commander of the armies of Woodrealm, as well as the ranking officer at Falling Leaves.


What do you do to relax?
Kae: Train. And sing, and write in her journal, and stare at Alex when he's not looking!
Ryan: I make ample use of the palace library.
Arador: What I do in my free time is none of your business.
Merrick: I'm a bird. I do...bird things...

Talisen: My job. Or eat. Or sleep.
Tayven: I like to look in on how my students are progressing.
Elle: I find Talisen and beat the living snot out of him.
Tarasse: I find a walk through the forest surrounding the campus to be the best way to calm my nerves.


There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
Kae: I let Chaos remind them why nobody teases me.
Ryan: I ignore them.
Arador: Nobody teases the king.
Merrick: Uh...why would someone tease a bird?

Talisen: Challenge them to a fight. If they win, I admit they're right. If I win...you don't want to know.
Tayven: I don't allow that sort of thing to affect me anymore.
Elle: I let my swords do the talking.
Tarasse: I would simply smile and walk away, content to know that I am the better person.


Let's say there's a person you really care about but she/he doesn't know your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
Kae: I've been trying the whole 'verbally and physically abuse him until he gets the hint and leaves so I can avoid a potentially embarrassing situation' tactic, but it hasn't exactly worked. I don't have a plan B.
Ryan: I already have, and let me be the first to say that using words, preferably in the language they speak best, is generally the smartest route to take.
Arador: I would send them an official announcement via messenger.
Merrick: A man can only take so many blows to his ego. I'm a bird-it wouldn't matter if I told her or not.

Talisen: I don't have to. They come to me.
Tayven: Talisen, you're incorrigible. I would use words, of course.
Elle: Uh...run and hide and wait for myself to get over it?
Tarasse: I would take her to a secluded place and tell her in person.


What kind of powers do you have?
Kae: Chaos. 'Nuf said.
Ryan: I really haven't got any special powers, save wisdom.
Arador: I'm king of all Woodrealm.
Merrick: If I wasn't a bird, I would be an earth mage, but since I am...I can fly?

Talisen: I have powers, but I don't use them unless you really tick me off. Then they sort of...
Tayven: Spiral out of control because you never learned to use them like I did?
Elle: I'm just an assassin.
Tarasse: I have no special powers, nor do I desire them.


What is your sexuality?
Kae: Woah, where did that come from?! Um...not gay?
Ryan: Heterosexual.
Arador: Heterosexual.
Merrick: I like women...

Talisen: Definitely straight.
Tayven: Heterosexual.
Elle: I second that motion!
Tarasse: I do not indulge in pleasures of the flesh.
