[center][bebas]Olympus Questionnaire[/bebas][/center]
[color=gray][size=100]Hey there! So, err, I assume Zeus – that’s the PC, Archibald Virtue – has already explained to you the weirdness that surrounds your current circumstances. In the event you are reading this and he has not yet done so, finish reading only this sentence and ask him for clarification. If you are [i]still[/i] reading this, then you had better be well-informed about your situation. If not, you are either defiant/disobedient and I predict we’ll have some trouble with you in future (though nothing that I can’t straighten out, I’m sure), or you’re too curious for your own good (which I’ll also have to handle).
Anyway, by now you’ve probably noticed two odd names: “Olympus” and “Zeus”. These are references to Greek mythology, which would be foreign to you even if you [i]didn’t[/i] have your memory wiped. (Sorry about that, and if you were wondering, yes, I love my parentheses.) I’d be more than happy to explain them to you, but for now, just know they are codenames. (You’ll become familiar with them eventually.) My codename (and the only name by which you’ll ever know me) is Hekate, your real-life John Clark, i.e. your On-site Coordinator for our epic version of Rainbow.
Now, as the person who will literally be the voice in your head throughout all of your daring missions, I need to know as much as possible about you before you even reach Erebus (my not-so-humble abode), since the action can start at any given moment, including the one at which point I’m typing this document. Therefore, you need to fill out the questionnaire with as much detail as possible. If anything confuses you or you don’t know what to do, don’t leave it blank; just write [i]something[/i], except when I specifically say otherwise. Oh, but please don’t write me an essay, since I’m not a teacher. I’m a hacker. Big difference. (Not that you’d know.)[/size]
[size=50]Disclaimer: The format in which this questionnaire is written is not completely original, as it is partly based off one I found online. I thank its creator in his absence. (Hopefully he doesn’t mind.)[/size][/color]
[i][b][size=150]█████ General Details[/size][/b][/i]
[size=120]♦ [b]It begins here! You obviously have no idea who you are, and neither do I, so this section will be used to gather the basic information. If you can remember your given name, you’re either lying or have a false memory, so make one up for yourself. It can be whatever you like, from traditional names like Samantha or David, to more exotic names such as Anastasia or Dhiren, or even nouns like “Shadow” or “Frost”.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Unfortunately, here comes your first reality check: you can’t always get what you want. While being called “Frost” or “Shadow” would be epic, in today’s society, people don’t have names like that. (We aren’t in a fantasy roleplaying game, you know.) This subsection is where the identity by which the world will know you comes. I’ll fill it out myself, so you can skip on to the next section.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Actually, you can skip this one too, since this is where [i]your[/i] codename will come. Once again, you have no direct influence over what I choose, so be nice to me, or face the consequences. Until such a time that I have allotted a codename to you, your in-action codename will be a combination between “Alpha” and a number, e.g. Alpha Two. Later, this will be used to identify your teams instead; when that point has been reached, your team will appear after your codename.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Now that your identity is out of the way, I need you to describe your appearance. We’ll start with what people immediately notice, namely gender, approximate height (measured in metric and imperial units), approximate weight (the same as approximate height), and build. (Your choices for build are “skinny”, “lanky”, or “slender” if you’re thin; “chubby”, “fat”, or “obese” if you’re overweight; or “lean”, “robust”, or “burly” if you’re muscular.) I expect a list with the mentioned items beneath each other and in order of appearance. Leave two spaces, a dash, and two more spaces between each answer and its heading, and capitalise all the words. Use the same formatting for the next two subsections as well.[/b]
Gender – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Height – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Weight – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Build – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Next, we have the more specific characteristics. They are hair colour, hair style, eye colour, and any distinguishing features (such as facial hair, scars, etc.). Keep in mind that you arrived with [i]natural[/i] hair and eye colours, so don’t even think about putting funky colours like hot pink or violet in the descriptions. If you want to dye your hair or wear coloured contact lenses, wait until you get to Erebus, after which I’ll buy you some and edit this entry as necessary.[/b]
Hair Colour – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Hair Style – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Eye Colour – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Unique Features – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]These last couple of details will define, more than they should, how people view you. I am impartial, of course, but not everyone is as open-minded as I am. So, I need to know your race (the PC will tell you what yours is) and nationality (the PC will tell you what this is too). Your race is basically your skin tone, but be specific, even if it’s less official, e.g. Caucasian (tanned/partially tanned/pale). Your nationality will technically be American, but there is always the possibility you speak with a recognised accent, in which case it will be appropriately indicated, e.g. French, British, American (Texan).[/b]

[i][b][size=150]█████ Superheroes and –Heroines are Awesome![/size][/b][/i]
[size=120]♦ [b]This section will attempt to ascertain your Pokémon identity and any undiscovered abilities you possess. First, we’ll determine your species. Yeah, I know, it must be difficult believing you used to be some magical being, but if it makes you feel any better, nobody else will remember what they looked like either, so it will be just as surreal to them. Zeus told me to tell you he won’t reveal what you were like no matter how many times you – or anyone else – ask him, so don’t bother. He [i]will[/i], however, tell us what all of you, as well as our future opponents, are/were, but for the time being, our data is insufficient. We’ll get back to this subsection once we have learned more.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]I just had an idea! Since you were once [i]Pokémon[/i] but are now [i]humans[/i], you will henceforth be known as [i]Pokémen[/i]! …Err, on second thought, that sounds kind of cheesy. We’ll just stick with [i]mons[/i]. But then again, that's too obvious and unoriginal. I refuse! But what to call you, then…? Thetas! You will all be known as Thetas! …Ahem, moving on. We might not know what your Pokémon species is/was, but that doesn’t stop us from speculating of what you could be capable. If you were a superhero or –heroine, which four abilities or powers would you want to have? (Capitalise all answers in the questionnaire, save for things like articles, prepositions, and the like. It's obviously not necessary when you elaborate.)[/b]

♦ [b]In contrast with the previous subsection, this one will be used to keep track of your actual abilities and powers as they develop. Just move along to the next section, since you won’t be able to fill in any of the details for the next two subsections either.[/b]

♦ [b]As we get used to working together as a team, we’ll learn more about your and your teammates’ strengths. If there are certain situations in which you have the advantage over everyone else, that situation will be described here.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Everybody has weaknesses, no matter how powerful they are. Being ashamed of your shortcomings won’t get you anywhere, but adapting to them and learning to avoid situations in which you may be a liability [i]will[/i]. The more we learn, the more the team as a whole improves.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color][/size]
[i][b][size=150]█████ What Does the Inside of Your Mind Look Like?[/size][/b][/i]
[size=120]♦ [b]Major stalker alert, but then again, I [i]am[/i] a black hat. Some people read a lot into these things, others simply don’t care, but it needs to be asked eventually. What is your favourite: colour, food, music genre, animal, and landscape? Use the same formatting as in the first section. (You’re welcome to revisit this later if you don’t know what your favourites are – in fact, I’d be surprised if you [i]did[/i] – don’t fret.)[/b]
Colour – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Food - [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Music Genre – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Animal – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Landscape – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]All seriousness aside, what [i]does[/i] your mind look like on the inside? A warehouse with all the boxes neatly stacked? A pink world of bubbles and threads where everything is interconnected? A dungeon with torture devices lining the walls? Grooved, crinkly, and grey, like all normal brains?[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Describe yourself in three words – using only nouns! (Adjectives are so boring, and now, you can’t be a wisecrack either. Hah.) Feel free to be symbolic. Actually, [i]be symbolic[/i]. That’s an order.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color], [color=character's favourite]…[/color], [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]Have you ever noticed how some people use a particular word/expression a lot, frequently fidget with some part of their body/outfit, or just often does something unique when speaking/walking? Probably not, but I want you to identify what [i]your[/i] mannerisms are. You don't have to write a full psycho-analysis (not that you could), but I [i]do[/i] want you to list at least one recurring aspect of your speech, your body language while you speak, and the way you walk. You can fill this in as you become aware of something, so leave it blank for now if nothing comes to mind.[/b]
Speech – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Body Language – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Walking – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]How well do you get along with people? Are you a social butterfly? A recluse? A grumpy old guy who needs to see three ghosts before he learns to be happy? Basically, just elaborate on your sociality.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]I need to know how you will react when faced with conflict - emotional or physical - so we'll have to test your limits sometime. For now, I'll settle for asking you what you think you'd do if a random stranger attacked you, if an enemy insulted you, and if someone close to you betrayed you. Answer all three Scenarios, please, but don't assume they all happen at once. (If they [i]did[/i], you'd be in for one lousy day.)[/b]
Conflict – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Opposition – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
Betrayal – [color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]You’re probably stuck here on earth for the rest of your life, so the possibility of you developing romantic feelings for a human or another mon is very high. What would you do if you found yourself in either scenario? Don’t worry, nobody but you, I, and the PC will see this document, so you can be honest. Nobody’s going to judge you – and that’s considering who the PC really is.[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]If the message “Save changes to Untitled?” appears, do you click “Save”, “Don’t Save”, or “Cancel”?[/b]
[color=character's favourite]…[/color]
♦ [b]This is the rubbish dump. If you ever want to add any miscellaneous things you discovered about yourself, whether it’s a fear, a talent, an interest, or even that you look like George Washington, this is the place to put it. Once you’re done, just hand this to Zeus and he’ll send you on your way. I’ll see you soon![/b]

Oh, and since the formatting for the post wasn't specifically shown anywhere, I added it here.
