With as stressy as things have been getting lately with deadlines and such, I thought we could use a break with something completely different! So I present to you, the new, improved kooky character quiz! Be warned! Your characters will never be the same again!
Character Name:
Age:
Species/Race:
Piercings/Tattoos:
1. What kind of modern music would your character like? Any specific group or band? Or would they hate music?
2. If your character had a theme song, what specific pre-existing song would it be?
3. If your character had a speaking or singing voice, what actor or singer would they sound like? Can your character sing at all?
4. If you were to cast a movie of your character’s story, what actor would play them?
5. If your character could play an instrument, what would it be?

10. What pasta or fruit could your character’s endowments be compared to? (ie. For guys: angel hair noodle, penne, thick spaghetti, etc. For gals, apples, melons, watermelons, etc. Hey…just answer the question!)
And here are a couple of my own characters to answer the call!
Character Name: Aurora Adonai
Age: 20’s
Species/Race: Cybernetic Elf (Goblinized Human)
Piercings/Tattoos: Tons mostly along the ear lobes. Aury’s fully tattooed on her stomach, face, wrists, shoulders, and ankles. No ‘secret’ tattoos or piercings to speak of.
1. What kind of modern music would your character like? Any specific group or band? Or would they hate music?
Aurora would probably like lots of angry, angsty screaming rock and metal or monotonous with a hard beat, like trance and techno that she could lose herself to dancing. Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Metallica, Paul Oakenfold.
2. If your character had a theme song, what specific pre-existing song would it be?
Too many to count on Aurora’s Playlist, but if I had to limit to one song, Haunted by Evanescence.
3. If your character had a speaking or singing voice, what actor or singer would they sound like? Can your character sing at all?
Angelina has the perfect voice and way of speaking for Aurora (well when she’s not doing a horrid accent a la Beowulf). Angelina can yell with the best of them and she’s good at taking on a dark, cutting tone when insulted (see Girl, Interrupted for the best example).
4. If you were to cast a movie of your character’s story, what actor would play them?
Angelina Jolie, of course. She has that sort of self-destructive anger and beauty combined with a sensual, deadly aura that’s just perfect. Alternatively, Kira Knightley MIGHT work, but Angelina would be my first choice (and yes, I have thought about this more than a person should).
5. If your character could play an instrument, what would it be?
Something to get all her anger and violence out, like drums.
6. What is their favorite meal?
She loooves the taste of beef, but is allergic to it, being an Elf. Therefore, her favorite meal is a Caesar Salad.
7. If your character was in a high school drama, what subject in school would they have been the best in? What about the worst?
Tough one. She sucks at cooking, drawing, and just about anything dealing with domestic skills. She is rather interested in dance and martial arts so the closest equivalent would be Physical Education. Her worst topic would definitely be Home Economics.
8. What normal, everyday job would your character have if he or she were in modern times?
Pretty much what she does in her own universe: Waitress, Exotic Dancer, and/or Bounty Hunter.
9. What would their favorite hobby be if they were in normal, every-day, modern times?
The same hobby she has in her universe: Reading comic books and collecting swords and guns!
10. What pasta or fruit could your character’s endowments be compared to? (ie. For guys: angel hair noodle, penne, thick spaghetti, etc. For gals, apples, melons, watermelons, etc. Hey…just answer the question!)
A decent set of modest sized melons!
Character Name: Ry Phirunaden
Age: 200’s
Species/Race: Elf (Half Fae, Half Human Descent)
Piercings/Tattoos: Tattooed on the biceps with the military emblem of his unit. In an older design, he had “Have Ye Merry Day” tattooed somewhere, but I’m not sure if that still stands or not. It’d make a nice tattoo across the buttocks.
1. What kind of modern music would your character like? Any specific group or band? Or would they hate music?
Being a bouncy fellow who likes a good jig to dance to, I can see Ry liking Swing and Jazz and possibly some techno. The serious side of him would probably enjoy a good classic ballad as well. I will forever associate him with Cherry Poppin’ Daddies thanks to Windfalcon.
2. If your character had a theme song, what specific pre-existing song would it be?
Again, When I Change Your Mind by Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
3. If your character had a speaking or singing voice, what actor or singer would they sound like? Can your character sing at all?
Hands down, Ry would completely sound like Iarla Ó Lionáird from Afro Celt Sound System. Ry’s a rather accomplished singer, despite appearances
4. If you were to cast a movie of your character’s story, what actor would play them?
Torn on this one. Seann William Scott has the look, but I prefer the more tongue and cheek sarcasm of James Marsters as Spike.
5. If your character could play an instrument, what would it be?
A fiddle or violin suits Ry and his propensity for breaking out into song to pass the time.
6. What is their favorite meal?
An Ale and YOU, baby!
7. If your character was in a high school drama, what subject in school would they have been the best in? What about the worst?
He would have been good on the Track team and one of the sexy popular Drama class students who sells drugs on the side to afford a nice car and to date a different chick every night of the week. And maybe he’d be in Band too. Worst topic would be History.
8. What normal, everyday job would your character have if he or she were in modern times?
The high class Drug Dealer and Conman conning old ladies out of their money and selling Weed to their husbands.
9. What would their favorite hobby be if they were in normal, every-day, modern times?
His job IS his hobby, in addition to womanizing.
10. What pasta or fruit could your character’s endowments be compared to? (ie. For guys: angel hair noodle, penne, thick spaghetti, etc. For gals, apples, melons, watermelons, etc. Hey…just answer the question!)
A robust penne!
