I'm going to use Rich for this one and see how we compare.


1. What is your character's name?
Richard Amadeus Crowley

2. What is your character's name in another language?
Hm. The closest I can answer this is his middle name, which means "loved by God" in Latin.

3. How old is he/she?
He ranges in age from 20 to his mid-forties, depending on what point the story's in.

4. What is your character's race/species?
Human. He's also a quarter Persian/Iranian, and while he doesn't look it, it's influenced a metric BUTTLOAD of his upbringing/culture tidbits.

5. Do they have a crush?
He's married to a cute Russian chick, but he also has Johnny Depp. Though Depp likely doesn't know he exists.

6. Do they have many friends?
Absolute social-fucking-BUTTERFLY. He has about the same number of acquaintances in real life as one has friends on Facebook.

7. What planet is your character from?
Earth? As in, E-Arth?

8. Does your character like to eat?
Does a bear shit in the woods? He's got a FREAKY fast metabolism. The upshot to this is that his family, not including his own parents, are mostly in the restaurant/hospitality business. He's not a gourmand or anything, but he does take the time to appreciate what he's shoving down his gullet.

Also, it should probably say something when one of his own children makes being able to out-eat him a lifelong goal.

9. What's his/her favorite food?
He likes cake! And brownies, and baklava (especially his grandma's and his aunt's and his mom's) and ice cream, and chocolate, and cupcakes, and cookies, and fudge, and sorbets, and pie, and... you see where this is going. MAJOR sweet tooth.

10. What's his/her favorite drink?
If alcoholic, JD or rum is his libation of choice, though he's grown a bit fond of vodka since he married a Russian woman (Anya).

11. Is your character annoying?
Sometimes. He also has a particularly annoying, high-pitched, grating laugh.

13. Is your character loved?
His wife and his comrades and close friends and kids and family and pets love him.

14. Is your character hated?
Yes. AND THAT IS ALL WE WILL SAY ABOUT THAT.

15. Is she/he emo/goth?
No?

16. Is she/he straight, bisexual, or gay?
Bisexual, though he has a slight inclination towards women over men.

17. Is she/he a virgin?
He's had sex with four women and one man. And a Fleshlight. And various inanimate objects not designed to be sexed. I doubt that qualifies as virginal.

18. Name 3 hobbies:
Doodling and drawing
Swimming
Photography

19. Is your character normal?
Compared to some of his family, yes.

20. Is your character attractive?
Eh, not my type.

21. How does your character handle emotions?
By suppressing it with his smiley adorableness. He's one of the sweetest, most caring people you could ever meet until you cross him. If you get him mad, don't run. Kill yourself.

22. Does your character have other forms?
No.

23. Does your character overreact?
For Richie, there is no kill like overkill.

24. Is your character a criminal?
No.

25. Does your character go to school?
He's done with his schooliness.

26. What's his/her IQ?
Pretty smart, since he graduated high school at 15. But whatever.

27. Does your character have a disease/curse?
Is yandere/yangire a disease?

28. Is your character dead?
No.

29. Does your character have a family?
His mother is dead, his biological father doesn't exist. He has a stepfather who he's on good terms with, and a twin sister. And an aunt and uncle who helped quite a bit in raising him and THEIR two kids. That's for the family he grew up with. So if we're going by relationship levels alone, he has two mothers, two fathers and three siblings, but only one of the parents is actually his biological parent and only one of his siblings is likewise.

And he has grandparents. And a whole host of other aunts and uncles and cousins he's not as attached to. He's got a pretty extensive extended family.

And then also he has a wife and kids.

30. Has he/she encountered any tragic times in life?
Yes. Yes, he has. And they've all made him into one of those sweet, sweet candies with the deadly mini-scorpion lurking in the center, for a crappy metaphor. Do NOT push him over the edge, or he will push YOU off a building.

31. What's the best time in your character's life?
His wedding day, leaving the military, the births of his kids, and various Spring Breaks. Those are all runners-up.

The absolute BEST time in his life was the day after he got married. Which was also Christmas, but that was just icing on the cake. They'd gotten all the extra plates from a thrift store and so he spent what would've been a normal person's honeymoon in his stepdad's kitchen sink, side by side with his new wife, washing old thrift store dishes that were used so they could donate them again. Many dishes were washed together.

33. Is your character single?
No.

34. Has he/she developed any relationships?
Three serious ones. And now he is marrieds.

35. Does he/she have an element?
Yes. Titanium.

36. Do you roleplay as your character?
Sometimes.

37. Do you write about your character?
Um, yes?

38. Does your character have a bad temper at times?
See TVTropes articles "Beware The Nice Ones" and "Yandere".

39. Does your character get depressed?
Sometimes. He also sees a therapist later on, out of the interest of getting his fucked-up self unfucked.

40. What's your characters favorite animal?
Dogs.

41. Does your character have any fears?
Abandonment. That, and losing his ability to keep up his sweetie-poo persona.

42. Does your character have any weaknesses?
He's a lightweight when he drinks. And he likes cute things. LOOOOOOVES cute things. And then also, when his cute-switch is on OFF, he's a little bit excessive on the viciousness. By that, I mean VERY excessive.

Also, he's a bit of a worrywart.

43. Does your character look up to anyone?
His sister and stepfather, and best friend/crush Tim.

44. Does your character like music?
Yes.

45. What's your character's favorite type of music?
He doesn't really have a favorite kind.

46. Is he/she impatient?
No, not really.

47. What's something funny about your character?
Hello Kitty. AND THAT IS ALL WE WILL SAY ABOUT THAT.

48. Name 5 nicknames.
Mom, Kitten, Rich (hey, it is technically), Princess, Squiggles. Yes, all of these sound cute, until HE BLOWS YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.

49. Does your character curse?
Yes.

50. This test is over, what does your character have to say?
"That meme was so awesome I nearly shit myself. Now get back to work."
