1) Tell us about the members of your family - if you don't have a family, tell us about the family you would like to have.
I have a mother, and I have a father. I have no siblings. More importantly, I have my brothers and sisters in the Swords of Luna and the Silver Pact, and those persons remain active in my life and have always been there when I need them.
2) Who were you in the First Age, and what were you known for? If Dragon-Blooded, what is your immediate family known for, what deeds has your line accomplished that you are proud of?
I'm not so great with past lives and dreams and stuff, but Kira is all about that stuff. Apparently I was a pretty scary lady, and I think she has a crush on that scary lady from her dreams.
3) What is your idea of an ideal retirement - their 'happily ever after'?
My ideal retirement really isn't, but if I got old enough where it was expected I would be taking it a little easier, I wouldn't mind taking up a post in the Pact or Swords as an instructor someday. Teach all the little cubs how to use a sword and what kind of great stuff life is all about.
4) What is your opinion of the Scarlet Empress?
She's allegedly a terrestrial, so she's a prejudiced and homicidal pack hunter who's been left in charge of a world she isn't equipped to run. Might be why she ran off. Honestly, I don't think she's actually dragon-blooded. If you ask me, I think she's probably a Celestial of some flavor. Talented like a Solar, but shady like a Sidereal. She isn't one of ours, though, or else the Realm would likely be a much happier, healthier place.
5) If you were a different type of Exalt, how different would your life be?
I love Kira, and she does great work, but sometimes I wonder if she'd be happier as a child of Luna. In which case, I'd logically be the Sun-child to stay mated to her, and my armor would be a little more gold than silver. That's about it, really. If I were a Terrestrial, I'd have a much more boring story to tell, and I'd have green armor. If I were a Sidereal, I'd presumably be a shithead, because each and every one of them are.
6) If you were from a different part of Creation, how different would your life be?
I can't even imagine! Creation is a fun and interesting place, but everyone lives in such bizarre ways. I don't even want to think about what it'd be like to live in the dirt and only have human neighbors.
7) What is your favorite hobby or skill that does not pertain to combat in any way?
Don't tell anyone, but my titles don't just happen. I have a little book where I brainstorm them and make up my mind on 'em, and sometimes write down other important things because my memory isn't the best.
8) What is your favorite way of relaxing in your downtime?
Any Lunar who answers that without some variation of 'hunting' isn't worthy of the name. But I guess I do other stuff, too. Polishing my sword is great, talking to Kira is the greatest.
9) When you aren't on-screen and doing things, where are you and what are you usually doing?
Walking. SO MUCH WALKING. Sometimes we get lucky and there's a boat or something, but usually just walking endlessly and endlessly and endlessly to get to wherever Kira's dreams say she needs to be.
10) What is the third-most important thing in your daily life? Why?
I actually had to think about this one a lot. Number one is Kira, of course. Number two is my armaments. So I guess number three would be either using my armaments alongside Kira, or maybe just talking to people. I'm all for a violent solution to problems, but I do like to chat a little before hand. Or just with people I don't have to fight, that is also nice.
11) What is your most guilty pleasure?
My Foster taught me how to knit. It is very soothing, even if I'm not good at it at all. I tried to make a friend a scarf, but thankfully it fell apart before I could present it to her.
12) In a world with no war or conflict, what would your do for a living?
Is such a world even possible? Humans fight endlessly, and the Wyld creeps into the edges of the world trying to unmake everything. I mean, it's nice to think about? But I don't think such a world is even possible. I guess I'd be a storyteller or something of the sort. No, wait - something cooler! Like a blacksmith, or bartender! Maybe a Loremaster, if Lunars are still around. I guess I could always go to work in my friend's teahouse if things got desperate - I'm sure they could use a guy in there to reach things on high shelves or whatever.
13) In a world that is only war and conflict, what would you do for a living?
Since that is the world I live in now, that is the life I lead. I'm pretty good at it, not to brag or anything. There's lots of fights, but I only fight for the right sides and against the bad things. That's an important skill, you know - knowing which side is the good one and which side is the bad one and then going with the good one.
14) Let's form a band! What instrument do you play, and what genre do you prefer?
Some kind of horn! Bands with horns are the greatest thing!
15) What's a harmless secret about you that you'd prefer to keep silent? Your secrets are safe here!
I really, really miss hanging out with other guys. All my friends are girls, all the people I work with are girls. My foster was a girl, my pack is almost entirely girls. My mate is a girl, my best friend is pretty much a girl. Don't get me wrong, girls are great, but sometimes I feel so out-of-place.
16) What is your favorite time of year, and why?
All of them have something awesome about them. Whatever time of year has the best festivals is pretty much my favorite.
17) Describe your most perfect opposite - why are they the way they are? (The Ebon Dragon is just curious)
Small, meticulous, and unarmored. If such a person could even fight, they'd likely use something barbaric and inefficient like an axe or their bare hands.
18) What was your favorite story when you were a child? Now that you're Exalted (and presumably an adult), how do you feel about that story?
My parents weren't much for telling stories, but the neighbor used to sing me a story about how great the world could be if humans and beastmen lived in harmony with nature, and now that I'm grown, I feel dumb because I think she thought I was some kind of hybrid or racist or something. Nice lady, though.
19) Do you remember the first person you killed? If you haven't killed anyone yet, how long do you think you can live an immortal life without doing so?
I don't remember what they looked like or anything, and I never knew their name. But it's debatable whether the Linowan even qualify as people. In Halta? Notsomuch, but the rest of Creation has some strange ideas about what constitutes.
20) If you had a chance to prepare them, what would be your last words?
Apology, I guess. To Kira or Mask, if they're still alive, or whoever. But to be honest, if I'm dying? I think they have bigger issues to worry about. I was Exalted in combat, with the understanding that I'd sometime die in combat, so it isn't like I'll be quietly laying on a deathbed or something when my time comes.
I have a mother, and I have a father. I have no siblings. More importantly, I have my brothers and sisters in the Swords of Luna and the Silver Pact, and those persons remain active in my life and have always been there when I need them.
