Cressa- The Invisibles
Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?

A: Cressa. I don't know my last name, and who cares about meanings when King Adrastros wants to kill me?

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?

A: The first place my mother ever took me, our meadow. It was the place she told me she was leaving.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)

A: I can't regret what I did. Now the people know of the invisibles (the ones who believe me anyway). And no. It could get me arrested, dyed purple and forced to work in the Castle. Or they would take my towns water and drown me in it.

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?

A: I'm brave. I can do things without getting nervous and I can inform the world of their presence.

Q: If you could go back in time to redo anything of your choice, what would it be? (Has to be different from the regretful experience)

A: Letting my mother leave. I need her more than ever now, but I have no idea where she is. She is probably an Invisible by now.
Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?

A: The River. He's clever, and I admire that. But he works strictly for the King, so I cannot bring myself to even thinking about trusting him.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?

A: A very long time, I'm not a school person. I never even went to school.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?

A: Yes. I am the strong one in my town, and if I cry then we know that something is extremly wrong.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?

A: Of course.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?

A: I tend not to talk anyway.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?

A: I wish I could.

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?

A: ...no.

Q: Do Q&A's bore you? XD

A: As long as you don't tell King Adrastros anything, I'm fine with them.

I'm going to use both Dane and Larka, because they're more fun together

Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
Dane: Damien Turner. I think it means 'to tame'. A lot of people translate that as 'demon-spawn' or something.
Larka: Larka, and I have no idea. Let's just saw it means 'awesome'.

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
Dane: the house where I grew up. I've never seen my father or any of my half-siblings there. It's very blue.
Larka: I like bridges in the rain. In general.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)
Dane: I regret that time between fifteen and seventeen where I just did what people told me and didn't ask questions. A lot of bad things happened then and I was responsible for a lot of it. No, I will not talk about it.
Larka: I regret nothing.

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
Dane: My sharp wit and charming. It's impossible to resist. Isn't it, Larka?
Larka: I'm sure. I like my general bad***ness.

Q: If you could go back in time to redo anything of your choice, what would it be? (Has to be different from the regretful experience)
Dane: I wouldn't let my father take me away. I would've fought to stay with me mom.
Larka: I would have turned and ran the moment I met Adrian.

Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?
Dane: myself. Everyone else turns out disappointing.
Larka: I like Dane. Because I can always find him when he hides.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
Dane: twenty seconds. The answer is 42.
Larka: What? I don't understand . . .

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
Dane: Only if it's in front of someone I don't want to see me cry.
Larka: Yes. I only cry in deserted basements under extreme circumstances.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
Dane: I don't know. I just really don't know.
Larka: Yes.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?
Dane: Yeah. What's life if there isn't a little brooding involved? I need something to do to fill up my time.
Larka: Only sometimes. I usually try to ignore the problem until I can figure it out.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
Dane: I don't know. It was too little, too late and I never really had the chance to figure it out.
Larka: yes. I'm a very physical person.

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
Dane: No. Is that a bad thing?
Larka: No.

Q: Do Q&A's bore you? XD
Dane: Yes. I hate Q&A's. Can I go eat now?
Larka: I don't mind them. As long as this transcript is burned . . .

I love Q&A's! They're so much fun!
Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
Henry Stetson, I don't know. (To be honest, I don't care much either.)
Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
The Sampson's mansion on Raven Hill. It was awesome. I loved the Sampson's, they got me to talking again.
Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)
The night I found out about.. *cough*... *splutter*... the train. I wish I had have gone with them, then I wouldn't be in this predicament. (Life that is.) I hate talking about it. My therapist makes me, he says I need closure.
Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
I hate everything about myself, so do I have to answer this?
Q: If you could go back in time to redo anything of your choice, what would it be? (Has to be different from the regretful experience)
I wouldn't have tried to end it all back at the hospital. If I hadn't lost my medical license, I wouldn't be stuck trying to scrape up a living as a PI.
Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?
Amy Miles. She's my only friend. Back when I wouldn't even move, she drug me out of bed every day and forced me to survive.
Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
Not long, I'm a certified genius. I would tell you how long it takes for them to collide, but I don't know how far apart they are.
Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
I don't go out in public, but I'd be kind of embarrassed.
Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
Yes, and not because I think weak people cry, but it is commonly seen as a weak thing to do. Especially in American culture.
Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?
No.... yes.
Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
It depends on the type of affection... *laugh laugh*
Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
About two seconds ago, but those moments are few and far between.
Q: Do Q&A's bore you? XD
Everything bores me, just like my writer bores my readers.

Gonna use the MCs of my latest WIP. Gotta get to know them better!

Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
Elia: My full name is Elia, daughter of Eodir. I don't know what it means. Most people don't give meaningful names.
Zehren: My name is Zehren, my title Shadow-Walker. Depending on my mood, I prefer one over the other.

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
Elia: Kelomi's house. It's pretty much like home for me, the way my house never has been.
Zehren: It is idiotic to become emotionally attached to a place that might change or be destroyed any day.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)
Elia: I regret not realizing sooner just how sick Kelomi was. I always went along with her because she said she was strong enough to do whatever she wanted, but...but there's a reason her parents are so over-protective of her!
Zehren: There is no point in regretting the past. You must make do with the hand fate has dealt you, as they say.

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
Elia: My devotion to my friends.
Zehren: My cunning. You can have all the power and talent you desire, but if you haven't the faintest clue how to use any of it, then what's the point?

Q: If you could go back in time to redo anything of your choice, what would it be? (Has to be different from the regretful experience)
Elia: I'd stop Mother from leaving. Maybe.
Zehren: I...would have said no. That one time. Or perhaps not.

Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?
Elia: Kelomi. We've been best friends since we were six. She's so brave, so strong, so funny, so daring...everything I wish I could be.
Zehren: I have no desire to answer this question.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
Elia: What are trains?
Zehren: If these "trains" cannot be made of any use to me, then I see no point in answering this question.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
Elia: Yeah...I wouldn't want to look weak. But sometimes I just can't help it.
Zehren: I never cry, so this question is irrelevant.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
Elia: No! It's healthy to express your emotions. I wish Mother and Father would have learned that...*sigh*
Zehren: Absolutely. I detest people who sit around and mope instead of actively trying to change their fates.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?
Elia: No. I don't get angry very easily anyway.
Zehren: If you get angry, exact revenge. Why waste time brooding?

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
Elia: Yeah, a lot. It's what friends do.
Zehren: ...from certain people. Perhaps.

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
Elia: Yeah, just a few weeks ago. I want those days back, so I'll do everything I can to save Kelomi!
Zehren: Never.

Q: Do Q&A's bore you? XD
Elia: Not really, it's kind of fun to figure things out about myself.
Zehren: Everything I have said on this questionnaire is a lie. Please do keep that in mind.

Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
A: Ember. I don't have a last name, and Ember means nothing really, it's just something I made up when I decided what side I was fighting for. How's devillishly handsome?

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
A:I have no favourite place. What the Hell would be the point in that? It's a foolish mortal thing.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)
A: I regret not finding Hell soon enough. All those damned good deeds I did as an Angel.

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
A: Am I only allowed to pick one? Because there's just so many. There's my charm, my sarcasm, my general likability, my ability to never give up...

Q: If you could go back in time to redo anything of your choice, what would it be? (Has to be different from the regretful experience)[/b ]
A: I was going to say that I would of stayed with Eliza so she hadn't of been taken, but then I never would of found what I have now. I would of come earlier to the gates, before th-they... cooked her. Then at least she would of lived.

[b]Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?
A: Myself. Number one rule is trust no one but yourself. Make no friends, only mutual relationships.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
A:I have no interest in trains.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
A: I don't cry. In public or private. As a demon, it's impossible to cry. It was when I was an Angel. The only time I ever cried was in the 1800's when Eliza's dead body rolled to my feet.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
A: Yes. It's a sign of humanity, of emotion.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?
A:No. I go out and kill the person who made me angry instead.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
A: Absolutely not. I despise it. Again, it's a mortal thing.

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
A: Recently. I was having a conversation with September. She blushes. She's naive. She likes to insult me. I find that funny.


Q: Do Q&A's bore you? XD
A: Yes. I'm only doing it because I've been forced to.

Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
Well, my real name is Ranita. It probably means something all painted pink and covered with frills. Ugh. When I ran, I changed my name to Saiat. That means 'Lost Rock" or something else equally strange and pointless. I mixed two names. It was to prove a point.

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
The last tree sticking out onto our property from the forest. Probably the memory of choosing my own path contrary to these stupid traditions, and the memory of my brother standing there, pretending he doesn't know I'm there while also convincing Dad that he had no idea I was going to run.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)

I would have thrown the rock harder, and aimed a little lower.

Obviously my brother, Lepokia. Why? Because he agreed with me and saved my life.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
Hmm. Depends whether or not you'll please tell me what a train, a track, and what a mph is.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
I'm never in public.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
Yes.

No.

Q: What's your full name and what is it's meaning?
Steel Gray... er, ask my dad. Oh, no wait you can't he's dead... Er, I have no idea why i'm called Steel... it's such a stupid name. Yep, I'm looking at you Evenslily.

Q: Where is your favorite place and what memories made it that certain place?
Er, the best diner in Brooklyn, Flo's Diner. It's because it's the place where I first beat my twin sister at Arm Wrestling and It's the only place not infested by Blessed Amy's, Vampires, Wicca's or Faeries.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it? (Explain the event/what happened)
Ha! Like I could regret anything, I'm amazing, I make no mistakes.
Me: Steel... tell the truth.
I spit on the truth, but if you insist...Er, it would be beating up my sister's first proper boyfriend. She really liked him, and I kinda ruined the relationship.
Me: And...
Will you go away? And the time where I went all stressy before we went to the academy... happy now?
Me: A little.

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
I cherish everything about myself. I could not singly pinpoint one thing about me that is incredible because all of me is.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
ME CRYING IN PUBLIC? Please... legend has it when I came out of my mother I punched the nurse in the face... WITH ME NOT CRYING!

Yes. An Angel feeds of that sort of stupidity. Do you want to die?

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry?
Yes, because I hate people who make me angry. The nerve.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
Is this a tick question? If not, of course I do, but with the right girl. I would rather die then have any physical signs of affection with Mimi or someone like that.

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
Not really... it's been a stressful couple of weeks though... when i'm with Ginger I become a lovesick puppy.

A time period in my life that I regret deeply, started the day I went to the park when I was looking Benji. It resulted in a fight, in which when Erica (his biological sister) came over to explain to me what had happened, Benji committed suicide. I lost the one person I have ever truly loved and cared for, because of a stupid misunderstanding. The weeks after I was a wreck, wanted nothing from anyone..

Q: What is one personality trait of your's that you cherish and why?
My sense of humor.

Here's my first narrator from my latest WIP.

Q: What's your full name and what does it mean?
A: Isabelle Charlotte Wright...I have no idea what it means.

Q: Where is your favorite place, and what memories made it that place?
A: The Murdoch house, certainly. I've never been any happier than I have there.

Q: Was there a time period in your past that you regret? If so, do you like to talk about it?
A: I pretty much regret my entire childhood. My parents were not the kindest people, and they (not to mention everyone else) expected me to be someone I wasn't. I finally managed to escape, but I had to drag myself through seventeen years under their rule first. I'll talk about it to Will if I need to vent, but otherwise, I just try to forget it.

Q: What is the one personality trait of yours that you cherish, and why?
A: I'd have to say my objective way of looking at the world, and I think Will would agree. I'm a scientist, so I have to be impartial for my research, but I try to see everything else in an unbiased way, as well. I have been judged for irrelevant things countless times, so I try not to do the same to other people.

Q: If you could go back in time and redo anything of your choice, what would it be?
A: I would try not to jump so badly that night I met Will. He snuck up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder, and I was so startled that I spun around and hit him in the face with my book. He likes to laugh about it, but I still feel a little bad for smacking him.

Q: Who's your favorite individual and why?
A: Will, by far. He's my fiance.

Q: If two trains are heading toward each other on the same track, and one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, and the other at a constant speed of 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?
A: It depends. If this is a math problem, I can give you the time and position of the collision in about thirty seconds. If it's some philosophical thing, though, I'm going to need a little more time.

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public?
A: Not guilty, really. I've never cried in public, but I'd probably feel more embarrassed than guilty.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?
A: No, crying is a way of dealing with your problems without smacking people.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things that make you angry?
A: Most definitely. I'll sit and stew until I can either talk to someone about it, or take out my anger on whatever made me angry.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection?
A: From people I like, yes. From people I don't like, not so much...

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?
A: Yes, last night.

Q: If two trains are heading towards each other on the same track, one is traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph, the other at a constant 34 mph, how long will it take you to figure out what the heck I'm talking about?: I don't get this question...

Q: Do you feel guilty if you cry in public? : Nope, I cry almost every day for no reason.

Q: Do you think crying is a sign of weakness? : Nope. As I said, I cry every day or no reason adn I still kick butt.

Q: Do you tend to brood about things which make you angry? : Sometimes. Or I just let it out and destroy the whole place.

Q: Do you enjoy physical signs of affection? : I would rather not say...

Q: Can you remember when you last really laughed and enjoyed yourself?: Yeah. I was high and giggly though.

A: That's a toss-up between falling asleep at the observatory, and not ducking in time when Isabelle swung that book at me.

I'se tellin ya, Kathleen looked like a boy in those knickers! I'se real sorry dat I beat her up. I never woulda if I knew dat she was a girl.
