dvandom:
1) Choose a few of your own characters (before looking at the questions).
2) Have them answer the questions.
3) If you decide to propagate this, feel free to change the questions.
The interviewees:
LS: Lady Spectra, high-tech superheroine
GL: Glorianna, barbarian swordswoman
PH: Phantos, cosmic traveler
Boy or girl?
LS: Girl
GL: Girl
PH: Born male, but my long-term goal is to become a genderless being of pure thought.
How old are you?
LS: 35. For the 3rd consecutive year. ;-)
GL: 19 (as of "Glorianna and the Iron Oasis")
PH: 243.
What's your height?
LS: About 5'7". Closer to 5'10" in costume.
GL: 5'9"
PH: Typically 6', though with concentration I can alter it.
Are you a virgin?
LS: I'm a widow and a mother.
GL: No.
PH: I'm afraid I was a bit of a rake in my younger days.
Do you have any kids?
LS: Yes, my beautiful daughter Jill. And there's Sara, who's an older version of Jill from another timeline. Or something. But she's a dear.
GL: *Glares, reaches for sword*
PH: No.
What's your favorite food?
LS: Anything I don't have to cook myself! But seriously, I love pasta.
GL: When I worked for Hassan, I got to try lamb, which was pretty good. Usually it's whatever I can catch in the wild.
PH: I require very little food, and my sense of taste has atrophied. In my earlier life, I was fond of beouf bourguignon.
What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
LS: Chocolate!
GL: Ice what?
PH: See above. I enjoyed the occasional sorbet in my youth.
Have you killed anyone?
LS: No!
GL: More than I can count. Nothing personal.
PH: Yes, to my shame.
Do you hate anyone?
LS: I was taught to "hate the sin, love the sinner", and I try to live up to that. But it's hard sometimes.
GL: Only people who ask stupid questions.
PH: Strong emotions interfere with clear thought, and should be avoided.
Have any secrets?
LS: Very few people know that Paula Carson is Lady Spectra. And I'm secretive about the power source that my late husband and I discovered.
GL: Not really secrets, just things that are none of your damned business.
PH: As someone who values knowledge above all else, it would be hypocritical for me to withhold information. But I don't always volunteer it, either.
Do you love anyone?
LS: I love my daughter more than anything. And I've been blessed with many close friends, like Father Cassidy, and Bernie Kominsky, whom I cherish dearly.
GL: *laughs bitterly*
PH: I was engaged, once. It... didn't end well.
What's your job?
LS: I teach high school science. And fight crime.
GL: I'm a mercenary.
PH: I am a scholar.
Any powers or weapons?
LS: My bracelets can fire a variety of energy-beams. My cloak can refract light-rays, making me temporarily invisible. And my helmet has infra-red, ultra-violet, and other sensor devices.
GL: I found this sword in the temple of a war goddess. It's served me well, although there are times I think I'm being punished for my petty theft. But it was just *sitting* there, for pity's sake...
PH: My skin, and much of my internal organs, have been replaced by a psycho-active substance colloquially called "ectoplasm". This allows me to resist injury, as well as phase through solid matter and into other dimensional realms. In my studies, I have learned simple tricks such as levitation and hypnosis, and other disciplines that the uneducated might deem "magic".
What do you do to relax?
LS: Who has time to relax? But in the rare moments I'm not working on lesson plans or chasing down felons, I enjoy tinkering in the laboratory.
GL: A couple pints of ale usually do the trick.
PH: I study, and meditate.
What do you think your life expectancy is?
LS: I hope I can live to a ripe old age, with a house full of grandchildren. But I know that in my line of work, that may not happen.
GL: I'll live till I die. No one gets to choose their moment, so I'm not worrying about it.
PH: If I succeed in converting my entire person to ectoplasm, then I will be effectively immortal.
What's your opinion of the opposite sex?
LS: I loved my husband dearly, and I've met many fine, admirable men in my life.
GL: They only want one thing. Which is fine, because that's about all they're good for.
PH: I endeavor to treat everyone equally, regardless of gender or other accidents of biology. But I am still a man, mostly, and I suppose like all men I am sometimes confounded by women.
Now what are you going to do?
LS: Cook dinner.
GL: Get drunk.
PH: Meditate.
