edited to add in Finnariel and Kambriana, since i linked to it from my archive.
Character(s):
Withiel Tabris, Finn Mahariel, Finnariel Mahariel, and Kambriana Cousland
1.) What's your name?
W: *folds her arms over her chest* Warden-Commander Withiel Tabris.
F: *runs a hand through her hair* Finn Mahariel.
M: Finnariel Mahariel. Who are you, and why are you asking me questions? *looks distrustful*
K: *lifts chin* Kambriana Cousland.
2.) Do you know why you were named that?
W: Uh. My mom thought it sounded pretty?
F: I think my parents liked that it rhymed.
M: I think my parents liked that it rhymed. *exchanges uncomfortable glances with Finn*
K: A former Queen of Ferelden, they tell me. *grins* Mother had high hopes; I won't disappoint her.
3. Are you single or taken?
W: *laughs* Every night, when I'm lucky, and sometimes in the day, too.
F: I... *glances at Alistair and blushes* Taken.
M: *narrows eyes* Bonded.
K: Oh, I’m very much spoken for.
4.) Have any abilities or powers?
W: I can smell evil a mile away, and I could pick the lock on the Queen's chastity belt in the middle of court, before anyone knew I was there.
F: I can tell if there are darkspawn around... does that count?
M: I’m a hunter and a warrior. I can track animals and people, and blend into the woods well enough that most shemlen and flat-ears never see me.
K: I could charm the pants off a Templar in the middle of battle. Actually... *looks at Alistair and grins, wickedly. He blushes.*
5.) Stop being a Mary-sue.
W: I'm not! I-- *glances to the side, catches Zev's eye, looks down, scratches elbow* I'm not sure that's really possible, sorry.
F: I've never been a Mary-Sue.
M: *scoffs* I am myself, and no one else.
K: Hah! No danger of that.
6.) Uh... if you were to get in a fight with a strong wrestler, do you think you'd win?
W: Of course. He wouldn't be expecting a knife in his back.
F: Possibly. I'm pretty fast.
M: *smirks* Yes. He'd never see me coming.
K: *laughs* You mean, if I let him get close enough to put his hands on me? If I was that inept, I’d deserve what I got.
7.) Riiiight... Have any family members?
W: My dad, some cousins, half a dozen Grey Wardens.
F: *looks at her toes, links hands with Alistair* Just one.
M: *arches an eyebrow* I have an entire clan.
K: *suddenly silent, exchanges glances with Alistair* Ask me something else.
8.) Oh? How about pets?
W: Nope. I'm pretty sure Skanda would bite me if I called him a "pet".
F: Ponka, my loyal war dog.
M: No. Why would I enslave another creature?
K: Raster doesn't really count as a pet. He's more like... a little war machine, with teeth.
9.) Cool, I guess. Tell me something that you don't like.
W: I've... learned to tolerate shems. I don't like looking weak.
F: I don't like having to figure out what to do with myself when I'm not working.
M: I don't like spiders.
K: I really don't like being lost.
10.) Something that you do like?
W: I like any problem that can be solved with a knife.
F: *looks up at Alistair again and smiles* Feeling safe.
M: The green of sunlight through the leaves at midsummer.
K: Autumn!
11.) Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
W: *is bored and playing mumblety peg with her dagger* Are we done yet?
F: I like hunting. It stills the mind.
M: I’ve been working on learning to weave.
K: Ummm... No. Not really.
12.)Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
W: Uh... I live by my wits and my daggers. What do you think?
F: I-- *looks away and covers her face with her hands* Not on purpose. *voice is strained*
M: It was self-defence, and he deserved it. *folds her arms across her chest*
K: Yes. Unfortunately, it comes with being a noble.
13.)Ever... killed anyone before?
W: *wicked grin* Why, did you find a witness?
F: *heavy sigh* It... has been necessary, sometimes. Few times have I felt just.
M: No.
K: Yes. *sets her jaw grimly* And there will be more, before I’m through.
14.)What kind of animal are you?
W: The kind you don't want to meet in a dark alley.
F: A halla.
M: Wolf: fierce, protective of my family, loyal to my clan.
K: The most dangerous kind: an injured one.
15.) Your worst habits
W: I don't admit defeat, even when it would be more prudent to do so.
F: I... I don't know. But I bet if you talked to my friends, you'd get a long list.
M: I put others before myself, often to my own detriment.
K: Getting badly injured and falling over.
16.)Do you look up to anyone at all?
W: Just one person. ...What? Oh, you want a name? *sighs* Zev. He's still faster than me. *he smirks, she scowls at him, but can't hold the face*
F: Um... No... Not really. Brother Genetivi, maybe.
M: Ashalle.
K: Wynne; she's so wise.
17.)Gay, straight, or bi?
W: Ummm... girls are pretty and all, but... I like boys. *blushes as Anders walks by, turns scarlet when she realizes Zev has caught her looking* Stop asking me personal questions. What next?
F: It depends on the person. There was this moment with Leliana... but... no.
M: I have only one partner, and he is a man. *looks over at Tamlen and smiles shyly, suddenly softening*
K: You know, I’ve been tempted, on more than one occasion, but that just doesn't help when I’ll need to secure the succession. Besides... *looks fondly up at Alistair* I don't really have any ambitions elsewhere.
18.)Do you go to school?
W: School?
F: No; I learned from the hahrens of my clan.
M: Elvhen dirth el'era.
K: I took all my lessons in the library at Castle Cousland.
19.) Ever wanna marry and have kids one day?
W: Uh... *shifts uncomfortably* What did I say about personal questions?
F: Yes, more than anything. *blushes as she catches Alistair's eye again; he looks amused and puts his arm around her*
M: *smiles at Tamlen* Ma'arlath. El isala tan'len. *Tamlen laughs and wraps an arm around her waist, kissing her temple.* We have a child. *she rests a hand on her belly* Soon to be two.
K: That's the plan.
20.)Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?
W: ...Maybe? Uh... It's always nice to have a cheering section, I guess.
F: What?
M: *frowns*
K: *shrugs* Could be. Comes with being nobility.
21.)What are you most afraid of?
W: *shares a very loaded glance with Zev* Being caught flat-footed without a healer.
F: *haunted look* Being surrounded by stone. *scoots closer to Alistair*
M: *links hands with Tamlen* Separation.
K: *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist, on the other side, and arches an eyebrow at Finn* Failure to keep my commitments.
22.)What colour is your hair?
W: Black.
F: Brown.
M: Brown.
K: Red.
23.) Eyes?
W: Blue.
F: Blue.
M: Blue.
K: Green
24.) What do you usually wear?
W: Breeches, tunic, armour, boots, gloves, helm.
F: Tunic and pants, armour when I have to.
M: Leathers, if I’m hunting; a dress, if I’m in the camp.
K: Lately, it's been heavy armour, but usually, I wear dresses.
25.)What's your religion?
W: Uh... I didn't really believe in anything, but now I guess I believe in the Maker, after this thing I did at a temple up by Haven... Sometimes you just have this experience that kinda forces you to face the idea that there's something bigger than you out there, you know?
F: I believe in the Creators.
M: The Creators protect us.
K: Andrastian.
26.)Do you wish this quiz is over?
W: We're still not done?
F: No, it's all right. What else do you need to know?
M: Yes. Hurry up.
K: You know, I’ve got other things I have to do today. Are we done here?
27.) Well, it's still not over.
W: *spins a dagger in her hand and narrows her eyes* Fine. What next?
F: Yes, I realize.
M: *sighs in irritation*
K: *settles back again* Very well, continue, but make it brief, please.
28.) Anyways, where do you live?
W: Vigil's Keep, at the moment.
F: Redcliffe Village. *another smile for Alistair; she leans her head against his shoulder*
M: Wherever my clan travels.
K: Nowhere. But, eventually, the Royal Palace at Denerim.
29.) What class are you? (Low class, middle class, high class)?
W: I'm a Warden. We make our own class. Next.
F: I... don't know. We're not poor, but we're not nobility. I guess middle? I never thought about it.
M: I am a hunter, and a warrior.
K: I thought we already established this.
30.) How many friends do you have?
W: I've got 'friends' scattered the length and breadth of Ferelden; plenty of people to call in favours with. How many people do I really trust, though? Four. No, five. No, I'm not giving you their names.
F: I was supposed to keep count? Gosh, dozens, I think.
M: Everyone in my clan, and a few in others.
K: Four... I think.
31.) If you could change anything about you, what would you change?
W: Um... I guess I'd take away my fear of any place too soft or too underground. It makes life really difficult sometimes.
F: *looks away, gaze going distant, and stays silent for several minutes, then shakes herself* I'm sorry, what? Oh. Uh... I'd make myself more persuasive, I guess. *looks down at her hands*
M: I’d make myself stronger, physically. My arms need a lot of work.
K: Hmm... I’d like to be wiser, I think.
32.) What are your thoughts on pie?
W: Ooh, I like a good sausage pie on a cold day, especially at the market.
F: Pie? It's... food?
M: What is pie?
K: Ooh, Nan's apple pie was the best... *suddenly looks sad*
33.) Alright, What's your favourite food?
W: The kind that's mine, so I can eat it.
F: Roasted rabbit and apples.
M: Roasted rabbit and apples. *spoken at the same time as Finn. They exchange looks, Finn wide-eyed, Finnariel distrusting*
K: Oh, roasted duck with raspberry sauce. *looks rapturous*
34.) Favourite drink?
W: Mead, when I drink... if I drink...
F: Honey whiskey. Why? Do you have some?
M: Honey wine.
K: I don't drink, but sometimes I’ll have a glass of wine at official functions.
35.) What is your favourite place?
W: Bed.
F: *sighs sadly* The Brecilian forest. *she catches Alistair's frown out of the corner of her eye and sits up abruptly* No, remember? It sort of... started there. You took me home. *she bites her lip and he just shakes his head; she leans against him again, looking disquieted*
M: The camp by the ocean; so many good things happened for us there.
K: You know, I actually quite liked Redcliffe. *smiles at Alistair; he smiles back at her, pleased. Finn looks at Kam jealously, and Kam simply ignores her.*
36.) Least favourite?
W: You know, there are so many. Anywhere I'm surrounded by shems, pretty much. But the Dalish weren't much better.
F: *haunted look again* Orzammar. *in whisper*
M: I suppose that would be the ruin where we lost Fenarel.
K: I really did not enjoy the Deep Roads. I do not look forward to the day when we go in there again to die.
37.) Are you still wanting the quiz to end?
W: *picks up an apple* Let's make a little bet. I bet that if you ask me one more sodding question, this apple will find its way down your throat, whole. *slaps two silvers on the table* Wager.
F: No, it's all right, go ahead.
M: Yes. I weary of this.
K: Do you realize how busy I am?
38.) Just say something to the others that filled this quiz with you.
W: *looks around* What? Who? Zev? *exchanges a glance with Zev, both nod* There. Oh, you mean her? *sneers at Finn* Grow a spine. Proud Dalish, my ass. As for her? *looks at Finnariel and shrugs* She seems all right. *looking to Kam* She seems all right, for a shem.
F: *withering look* And yet, I treated the city-cousins with respect and shut down the Tevinter slavers. Apparently flat-ear pride is exclusive. *turns away, chin up, then looks at Finnariel. Her eyes fill with sorrow, and she looks away again. She casts a jealous look at Kam, who lifts her chin and curls her lip, completely not amused.*
M: *looking at Withiel* Good to see a city-cousin so unyielding and fierce. You'd fit in well, with us, I think, if you were willing to learn the lore. As for you, *looks at Finn, her mouth twisting* I understand, sister, but you're a disgrace. I can't believe you wear my face. *Tamlen puts his arms around Finnariel's waist and speaks, for the first time* You shouldn't have let your strength die, it is what I loved about you the most. *Finn bows her head and cries, Alistair sighs, Finnariel looks disgusted, Tamlen just looks sad. When she looks at Kam, she just shrugs.* She's a shemlen noble. What is there to say? She has nothing to do with me.
K: *looks at Finn* You. You do not deserve him. *Alistair arches an eyebrow, and she colours.* Hey, I may have made a mistake, but I’m not a snivelling wreck; I stand beside you, not only by your strength. *He nods, allowing her that. She looks at Withiel and Finnariel.* You do your people proud.
39.) Well, it's over.
W: *is already distracted by where Zev has put his hands, and turns her face to kiss him*
F: *rolls eyes, disgusted by Withiel and Zev* All right then, I hope I was helpful. *leaves, hand-in-hand with Alistair, but looks over her shoulder at Tamlen, longingly*
M: Finally. El'ven, lethallin; el'aravel. *Tamlen nods and picks up his bow, pointedly ignoring Finn; he and Finnariel leave without a backward glance*
K: Good. *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist and gives Finn another withering look, then gazes up at Alistair* I don't know what you see in her. Do we really have to bring her?
i do not tag people. do it if you feel it. i needed to get back into withiel's headspace, and remind myself why i'm done with finn. >.> it's been useful to really have something to illustrate the differences between their personalities. all of them, in fact.
ps - you guys are wicked awesome. seriously. i was not expecting this to explode like it did. i love all your characters. ^.^

As for you, *looks at Finn, her mouth twisting* I understand, sister, but you're a disgrace. I can't believe you wear my face. *Tamlen puts his arms around Finnariel's waist and speaks, for the first time* You shouldn't have let your strength die, it is what I loved about you the most. *Finn bows her head and cries, Alistair sighs, Finnariel looks disgusted, Tamlen just looks sad. When she looks at Kam, she just shrugs.* She's a shemlen noble. What is there to say? She has nothing to do with me.
K: *looks at Finn* You. You do not deserve him. *Alistair arches an eyebrow, and she colours.* Hey, I may have made a mistake, but I’m not a snivelling wreck; I stand beside you, not only by your strength. *He nods, allowing her that. She looks at Withiel and Finnariel.* You do your people proud.
39.) Well, it's over.
W: *is already distracted by where Zev has put his hands, and turns her face to kiss him*
F: *rolls eyes, disgusted by Withiel and Zev* All right then, I hope I was helpful. *leaves, hand-in-hand with Alistair, but looks over her shoulder at Tamlen, longingly*
M: Finally. El'ven, lethallin; el'aravel. *Tamlen nods and picks up his bow, pointedly ignoring Finn; he and Finnariel leave without a backward glance*
K: Good. *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist and gives Finn another withering look, then gazes up at Alistair* I don't know what you see in her. Do we really have to bring her?
i do not tag people. do it if you feel it. i needed to get back into withiel's headspace, and remind myself why i'm done with finn. >.> it's been useful to really have something to illustrate the differences between their personalities. all of them, in fact.
ps - you guys are wicked awesome. seriously. i was not expecting this to explode like it did. i love all your characters. ^.^
This took forever, lol.
Alleyana (Dragon Age version), Tannusen (Dragon Age version), Akara (Dragonlance version)
and just to be REALLY CONFUSING: Tannusen (old World of Darkness), and Alleyana (oWoD as well)
I could have done this just with versions of each but that would have broken my brain, lulz.
1.) What's your name?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): "Alleyana Tabris."
Tannusen (Dragon Age): "Tannusen Surana."
Akara (Dragonlance): "The Black Rabbit. What?" Akara eyeballs the interviewer, "Fuck you."
Alleyana (oWoD): "...Alley."
Tannusen (oWoD): "Tannusen, but you can call me Tannu~"
2.) Do you know why you were named that?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *grunt*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): At the risk of breaking the forth wall, my sister and I are pretty old as far as characters go. Also, our writer isn't that inventive and recycles us a lot.
Akara (Dragonlance): Hey, I haven't gotten recycled--!
Alleyana (oWoD): *takes drink of coffee* Like hell you haven't.
Tannusen (oWoD): *laughs* My lady Akara, it simply never was published. Not to worry, your time will come. --Ah! Well, you see, Alley predates me by about, oh, five years 'in real life'. Her name began as the pun you see in nickname form, "-ana" *complete with air-quotes* didn't come until many years later. My own name is a play off the word "tunnel", and "-sen" happened at the same time as "-ana". So you see, it's all really not that glamorous. I also have a daughter named Llayne, to continue that tradition! Somewhere. I sort of married Roande in Vegas... you see, she got me drunk, and we were friends with benefits, but the next thing I knew I was standing in front of Elvis...
Akara (Dragonlance): ...So you're still a talkative fuck, aren't ya?
Tannusen (oWoD): Ah, apparently more than my darkspawn-slaying brother, it would seem. *leans forward in chair to grin at his clone*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...*privately weirded out* ...Elvis?
3. Are you single or taken?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): What sort of harebrained question is that? *snorts* Next.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...Ah, taken but we are... poly. *is still totally thrown off his game by the last question* No Vegas involved, however.
Akara (Dragonlance): *catching that Surana is weirded out by being a clone* Ah, man, I wish one of the Dragonlance versions was here. He did this thing with his fingers...
Alleyana (oWoD): Uninterested. *eyes Akara, who is miming something* Also uninterested.
Tannusen (oWoD): Oh, I think I know exactly what thing you're talking about. Should I...? Oh, the question. Well, *he holds up the odd pendant around his neck* find the man with the collar this goes to and you'll have your answer, hm? He's somewhere around here. Check the ceiling. And under the furniture. Sluagh, you know. *waggles fingers* Puddle.
4.) Have any abilities or powers?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *dryly* The power of voodoo.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Who do?
Akara (Dragonlance): You do!
Alleyana (oWoD): ...nrgh. *finishes coffee, refills from the coffee-pot she's commandeered somewhere*
Tannusen (oWoD): *sings* Dance, magic dance! Dance, magic dance!
5.) Stop being a Mary-sue.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *long, flat stare*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): *has gotten up to dance around with his taller, human-looking clone* I don't know the words, but I'm somehow compelled.
Akara (Dragonlance): I... do I know what popcorn is? Fuck it, I want some anyway.
Alleyana (oWoD): *watches the two Tannu's with the slightest twitch of amusement at her lips* His name on the street channel of the MUSH was Ziggy Stardust. I think being a Bowie fan is built into you, elf-boy.
Tannusen (oWoD): *does actually sing for cash on street-corners, so belts this out with some actual skill* I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try... what could I do~ooo? My baby's fun had gone, and left my baby bluuue! Nooobody knew!
6.) Uh... if you were to get in a fight with a strong wrestler, do you think you'd win?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): ... *long, flat stare*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): *sits back down, looking winded* Just as long as it isn't a dance-off. Or a marathon.
Akara (Dragonlance): I don't get into fights! I'd just run, fuck that entire idea in the neck. Have you seen the shit the plot has done to me with violence? Hello, non-combatant! ...But I'd steal his wallet first, of course.
Alleyana (oWoD): *just snorts*
Tannusen (oWoD): *still dancing, not in the least bit winded* Just make him hot, that way I win even if I lose.
7.) Riiiight... Have any family members?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): The game plot says I have a father who isn't that scumbag piece of shit Trench. *dryly* Hooray.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): *glances at Alley, family resemblance is plain with them sitting by each other, even if Alley's face is rather mangled* ...Not that I know of.
Akara (Dragonlance): No. Moving on.
Alleyana (oWoD): There's this snot-nosed kid brother of mine who I raised. You might know him.
Tannusen (oWoD): *sits back down* Snot-nosed? I was not snot-nosed. I may have chewed on the furniture, however.
8.) Oh? How about pets?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Jethro the Mabari.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...Jethro the Mabari.
Akara (Dragonlance): ...Wait, what?
Alleyana (oWoD): No.
Tannusen (oWoD): *laughs* Jethro the motorcycle-turned-chimera, who used to belong to my sister there. I sense a theme.
(Somewhere off-camera, the Pern version of Alley eyeballs Jethro the ugly-ass runner (horse), shrugs, and drinks her klah.)
9.) Cool, I guess. Tell me something that you don't like.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *pointedly* Nosy questions.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Uhm, anything that forces control over another.
Akara (Dragonlance): *sinks down in chair* Well being stuck in a fucking room with clones of people I know ain't a fucking picnic, you know. Especially since Tannu *points off to either side* is fucking dead in my world!
Alleyana (oWoD): *snorts* Someone finally mouthed off to the wrong person, eh?
Tannusen (oWoD): It's okay, I'm sure all the parts ended up in the recyling bin.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...That's morbid.
Tannusen (oWoD): *shrugs with a grin* Better than what I do with dead bodies.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ........
Tannusen (oWoD): Say, who's up for steak after this?
10.) Something that you do like?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Clay, not that I can sculpt anymore.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Not steak anymore, I imagine.
Akara (Dragonlance): Shiny shit. ...What?
Alleyana (oWoD): Clay. Coffee. Cancer-sticks.
Tannusen (oWoD): *leers* I can do this thing with my fingers... or, you know, play guitar.
11.) Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *sour grunt*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Oh yes. But enough about my sex-life, hm?
Akara (Dragonlance): I draw. Usually Majere.
Alleyana (oWoD): Clay. Coffee. Cancer-sticks.
Tannusen (oWoD): ...*just laughs*
12.)Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Everyone but Akara: Yes.
Akara: ...*sinks down in chair again* This interview is stupid.
13.)Ever... killed anyone before?
Everyone but Akara: Yes.
Akara: ...No! What the fuck is wrong with you!
14.)What kind of animal are you?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *dryly* An elf.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): A tiger in bed~
Akara (Dragonlance): An... um... rabbit? Aheh...
Alleyana (oWoD): *just drinks her coffee*
Tannusen (oWoD): I am an unseelie bengal tiger pooka with a penchant for eating humans. *laugh* Though I usually have to lie about it. A tiger everywhere but in bed! Since if I was a tiger in bed I'm afraid Isaac would be lunch...
15.) Your worst habits
Alleyana (Dragon Age): ...I am a worst habit.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I do this thing with my tongue... *sigh*... to all the wrong people.
Akara (Dragonlance): ...Hey, you know what? Fuck you. I don't have any bad habits. They're all good ones. Except maybe the way I keep ending up around Majere. He's a really fucking bad habit. But that's the fucking plot... it's not my fault.
Alleyana (oWoD): Sometimes I trip and some asshole noble sidhe duke gets stabbed in the face. *grunts* Tragic, really.
Tannusen (oWoD): Serial murder, cannibalism, scratching up the tree in our back yard something fierce... ah, sometimes I leave hair in the shower drain. And by hair I mean "I was in my other form and it's shedding season". Isaac would claim that my worst sin of all is when it ends up on all his black clothes, but that's his fault for moving in with a pooka. *laugh* I don't complain about his spiderwebs and creep-tastic ghost friends...
16.) Do you look up to anyone at all?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Adaia I guess.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Greagoir~ I don't want to emulate him, but I admire him a lot.
Akara (Dragonlance): I used to look up to my distant relative, Grissom. 'Till I found out he was a notorious killer.
Alleyana (oWoD): I don't have that luxury.
Tannusen (oWoD): My big grumpy sister, of course!
17.)Gay, straight, or bi?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): ...Straight, I guess. *says this with some faint surprise, always thought she was a-sexual*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): A little of this and a little of that, please.
Akara (Dragonlance): What kind of stupid question is this? Seriously? I've got a mole on my ass I can tell you about, too.
Alleyana (oWoD): *grunt* None of the above.
Tannusen (oWoD): Bi, bi, baby.
18.)Do you go to school?
*all five eyeball each other*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...I guess I kind of did. Circle tower and all that.
19.) Ever wanna marry and have kids one day?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): You're kidding, surely. Like that's even an option for someone like me.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...*just laughs*
Akara (Dragonlance): *tips chair too far back and falls on the floor* !!!! What the fuck! WHO HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO?! Augh! I'm... I'm kind of engaged but... SERIOUSLY, WHO.
Alleyana (oWoD): *eyes Akara sidelong, lights a cigarette* I already raised one brat, no thanks.
Tannusen (oWoD): Married and had a kid already, thanks. *sticks his tongue out at Alley* If we weren't related, I'd show you 'brat'.
20.)Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *grunts, steals a lit cigarette from her clone* Where's the blindfold?
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...Hahahaha, this is an awkward question. Perhaps?
Akara (Dragonlance): *grumbles* yeah. The Dragonlance fandom doesn't do much fanart and such though. OCs aren't very common.
Alleyana (oWoD): *just snorts*
Tannusen (oWoD): Are you kidding me? People practically chased me off two different MUSHes because they took exception to my player. I don't think fans ever were an issue... though I did get stalked ICly a bit.
...lol you're shitting me, I have to cut this in half to fit even in DW's comments.
Re: This took forever, lol.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *dryly* Your mother.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): *mock-dryly* Her mother.
Akara (Dragonlance): *just sinks down in chair and looks sour*
Alleyana (oWoD): *doesn't miss a beat* The interviewer's mother. *downs coffee, refills*
Tannusen (oWoD): I fear no mother, brother, or other. *grins lopsidedly*
22.)What colour is your hair?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Brown with grey streaks.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Platinum blond.
Akara (Dragonlance): Black.
Alleyana (oWoD): *takes a drag of her cigarette* Same as Tabris.
Tannusen (oWoD): Same as my clone, except my fae side is white with black streaks. Genetic blip, I ended up as a white bengal this time around the reincarnation wheel. I remember always having brown-orange with black in fae side in... other times.
23.) Eyes?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Dark blue.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Bright blue.
Akara (Dragonlance): Dark green.
Alleyana (oWoD): *grunts, is the same as her clone*
Tannusen (oWoD): Light blue, just like what's-his-face over there.
24.) What do you usually wear?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Armor. Plate preferably.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Robes and pants. And boots.
Akara (Dragonlance): I've got cheap brown plainclothes. Don't need any fancy crap.
Alleyana (oWoD): Monochrome, mostly black. *it's a Scathach thing*
Tannusen (oWoD): My riding leathers, jeans, t-shirt... or three-piece business suits. Depending on what I'm doing.
25.)What's your religion?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *grunts*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I believe in the Chantry. I don't have much choice.
Akara (Dragonlance): Fuck religion in the eye.
Alleyana (oWoD): ...Heh.
Tannusen (oWoD): I'd rather fuck it other places. Like over its own altar.
26.)Do you wish this quiz is over?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): It's gonna be, soon.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I do have other things to do... and by things I mean people.
Akara (Dragonlance): Do I look like I give a fuck? No?
Alleyana (oWoD): It isn't?
Tannusen (oWoD): Nah, I don't get to come out and play very often anymore.
27.) Well, it's still not over.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *shrug*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): This was kind of pointless.
Akara (Dragonlance): Ten seconds of my fucking life I'm not getting back again.
Alleyana (oWoD): Actually, it is. *stands up and abruptly wanders off, coffee-pot in hand*
Tannusen (oWoD): ...I could have told you that would happen.
28.) Anyways, where do you live?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): I don't.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Depends when you ask me, doesn't it? The road, right now.
Akara (Dragonlance): Krynn. I ain't naming a city, cuz that asshole will read this and know where to find me.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): *peering into the distance* Ha, I should have gone with. --Ah, well, we had a house called the Odd Little Victorian on Metro MUSH but when we transferred to Carnivale we were in a beat-to-hell class-A RV. And when I mean beat-to-hell I mean we armored it and it still barely made it to camp.
29.) What class are you? (Low class, middle class, high class)?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Low. Right at your knee-caps, in fact.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I don't think a circle mage qualifies as any of those. Not that I'm in the circle anymore, but I haven't precisely stopped moving since.
Akara (Dragonlance): Eh. I'm a thief. If we're talking society-standards I'm lower than low on Krynn as well as Krontis. If we're talking money avaliable to me... well. I'm a very good thief.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): Reasonably high-class, I suppose? Velvet Lust was a very successful business. On the other hand, I'm normally a wandering guitarist who lives off the back of his V-Rod, so who knows.
30.) How many friends do you have?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *sour grunt*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Ah... two? If you count my dog. Three maybe? I can never tell what my standing is with most of our group of wandering misfits.
Akara (Dragonlance): Two, I guess? Alley and Jones. I had two others, but one got shot and blown up into bits, and the other stabbed me...
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): My sister, Jethro, and Isaac.
31.) If you could change anything about you, what would you change?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): I'd like my hands back.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I would prefer it if I wasn't a thrall, actually.
Akara (Dragonlance): Make me a mage and my problems are fucking solved. Go on.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): ...Ah, I don't know? *laughs*
32.) What are your thoughts on pie?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Whatever.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Mmm, pie.
Akara (Dragonlance): ...The fuck kind of question is this?
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): *leers*
33.) Alright, What's your favourite food?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): It all tastes like shit to me.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): Templar? Antivan? Oh, you mean food-food, not just what I like putting in my mouth...
Akara (Dragonlance): Hot soup.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): Steak. Rare.
34.) Favourite drink?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): ...It all tastes like shit to me.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...Templar? Antivan? Hey, I drink those all the time~
Akara (Dragonlance): Tea I guess. But not Majere's stinky bitter crap. I tried that once just for shits and giggles, and it about turned my tongue numb.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): Tea. It's a running joke that everyone written by... well, the person on the other side of the forth wall over there, drinks tea.
35.) What is your favorite place?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): I... don't know.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): ...Probably the circle tower. Yes, yes, I'm supposed to hate it. But I don't. I really, really don't. In fact, I may move in if the circle ends up leaving it. I can handle a semi-torn veil quite fine...
Akara (Dragonlance): I was pretty fond of my loft room in Palanthas. Can't go back, though, or asshole's gonna find me.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): I was quite fond of the Odd Little Victorian.
36.) Least favourite?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Right now? Right here is getting up there.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I don't know. Redcliffe, perhaps.
Akara (Dragonlance): Krontis.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): I actually don't like the dreaming very much. Odd, I know, but I prefer 'reality'. Easier to sink my claws into, so to speak.
37.) Are you still wanting the quiz to end?
Alleyana (Dragon Age): Pretty much.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): I think it's gone on for long enough, don't you? We've been in here for a while now...
Akara (Dragonlance): Yes.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): *eyes empty chair next to him and laughs* I think my sister had the best idea of all for this.
38.) Just say something to the others that filled this quiz with you.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): There's been enough chatter, I think.
Tannusen (Dragon Age): As though I've shut up this entire time. Well, between the two of me, anyway.
Akara (Dragonlance): Must I? This is freaky enough, thanks.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): Hey elf-me, want to try something really kinky? *leers* Like... me?
39.) Well, it's over.
Alleyana (Dragon Age): *wordlessly gets up and leaves*
Tannusen (Dragon Age): *thoughtful look* ...Perhaps.
Akara (Dragonlance): Thank fuck.
Alleyana (oWoD): --
Tannusen (oWoD): *leers* I promise not to bite. Too much.
Re: This took forever, lol.
I'm amazed at how polite DA Tannu remained. And how many of his innuendo answers matched Aedan's :o)
I baulked at doing multiple characters. It would make my brain explode.
Re: This took forever, lol.
Re: This took forever, lol.
Re: This took forever, lol.
There's... uh... a dozen versions of Tannu out there. One could just take all his iterations and make a traveling circus out of them, I think. There's even the tiger one.
