A Massive Character Tag

Creative Artist has tagged anyone who wants to do this massive character tag, and I accepted the challenge. Here are the rules:

1. I pick three characters
2. I make my characters answer these questions
3. I tag three people

I'm going to add a fourth character, just because I can. :)

My characters are Eldra (my MC), Daymond (my sometimes-MC/antihero), Gio (one of Eldra's comrades), and Eleriff (Eldra's potential love interest -- but don't tell them that).

NOTE: I wrote some of this late, late at night, so if some answers sound weird, blame it on that.


Do you want a hug?
Eldra: *glares at Daymond* Stay away from me.
Daymond: Depends on who it's from... Actually, no.
Eleriff: Only the hug is from a female. *grins mischievously*
Eldra *slaps Eleriff*
Eleriff: Ow!
Gio: Sure.

Do you have any kids?
Eldra: No.
Daymond: No.
Eleriff: Not that I'm aware of.
Gio: Goodness, no! They're so hard to take care of, they're always crying for attention, and they eat everything!
Daymond: *smirks* Sounds just like you, Gio.
Gio: Hey!

Have you killed anyone?
Eldra: Yes.
Daymond: Are you kidding? I love the sound of cracking bones.
Eleriff: *stares at Daymond and gags* Are you serious?
Daymond: I'm not really one for jokes.
Eleriff: *turns green* I don't feel well.
Gio: Wimp. As for me, I have killed but it is not something I enjoy.

Love anyone?
Eldra: Love? That's a hard emotion to define. I'm not sure.
Daymond: I refuse to answer.
Eleriff: Yes.
Gio: Not at the moment.

What is your job?
Eldra: I have held several jobs: princess, ambassador, and... the rest is classified.
Gio: She's an IPSA agent, just as I am.
Eldra: *knocks Gio out*
Daymond: Inter-galactic assassin.
Eleriff: *shoots worried glances at the others* I'm a prince, but since I'm not in line for the throne, I don't act like one. I just live like one.

Favorite season?
Eldra: Spring. Not too hot, not too cold.
Daymond: Winter. I hate the heat.
Eleriff: My planet doesn't exactly have "seasons" but I would probably enjoy summer the most.
Gio: May I revive yet?
Eldra: No.
Gio: Shoot... I was going to say summer.

Who's your best friend?
Eldra: Definitely Malachi. We've been friends our entire lives. *glares at Gio* He isn't just my bodyguard, and you know it.
Daymond: I'm not allowed the luxury of friends.
Eleriff: Kandrid's King.
Gio: The King of Kandrid is your best friend?
Eleriff: He's my brother.
Gio: Oh. Stacilles is my best friend. Well, him or TRAV.

Hobbies?
Eldra: Reading.
Daymond: My job is my hobby.
Eleriff: *turns green twice over* Do you ever take a break, Daymond?
Daymond: No.
Eleriff: *sighs* Whatever. My hobbies are swimming and swordplay.
Gio: *flips hair to the side* Preening.
Daymond: *snorts*

What are you going to do when this tag is over?
Eldra: Prep for yet another mission.
Daymond: *glances at Eleriff* Whatever Morago commands.
Eleriff: *purposely ignores Daymond* Swim. Or flirt with the newest maid.
Gio: Style my hair. *fiddles with copper strands* This stylist didn't know what she was doing.

Okay... What is your eye color?
Eldra: Emerald green.
Daymond: My eyes change colors depending on my emotions, but they are naturally light gray.
Eleriff: *stare suspiciously at Daymond* Hmm. My eyes are the same as Daymonds... which is strange because only those with my family's blood in them have such an ability. *shrugs* My base color is copper.
Daymond: *ignores Eleriff*
Gio: Imagine the brightest blue you possibly can... My eyes are fifty times that color.

Are you good? Or bad?
Eldra: Both.
Daymond: Neither.
Eleriff: Evil barely seems to exist where I live, so I must be good.
Gio: Well, I would hope that I'm good!

What is your greatest fear?
Eldra: I refuse to answer this question unless Daymond is unconscious.
Daymond: Well that isn't happening.
Eldra: Then I'm not saying.
Daymond: It doesn't matter; I know it anyway. You're afraid of being weak in any way.
Eldra: *glares*
Daymond: And, to be fair, my greatest fear is that my entire life has been a lie.
Eleriff: Well, I fear something... less extreme. Personally, anything that disrupts my privileged life frightens me.
Gio: Fighting Daymond.

What do you think of your parents?
Eldra: They're nice, if a bit uptight and stuffy.
Daymond: I don't remember my mother, as she died when I was less than a year old, but my father is almost like an older brother to me.
Eleriff: They were wonderful people and rulers, until their untimely death.
Gio: Beautiful people. Where did you think I got my stunning good looks from?

Any siblings?
Eldra: No.
Daymond: Huh. No.
Eleriff: Yes, an older brother.
Gio: I come from a huge family that had ten children last time I checked, the oldest of which happens to be me. I got out of that situation as soon as I possibly could.

Was it fun to answer all these questions?
Eldra: Let's just say it's better than some other things I could be doing.
Daymond: Killjoy.
Eleriff: *sniffs* Killing again? You just can't get off the subject.
Gio: I love it! Keep asking them! Please!

Sure thing... Do you have any weaknesses?
Eldra: *snorts* Do you want me to list them alphabetically or in order of significance?
Eleriff: However you wish, my dear.
Eldra: Fine. Small, pointy objects, my pride, being around Daymond (not in the way that you think), any sort of drugs, anywhere with lot of electrical currents, bad boys. *blushes* Uh, yeah.
Daymond: *snickers* Bad boys? Like me?
Eldra: *mutters* Shut up.
Daymond: Like I thought. *smug grin* As for me: being around Eldra (once again, not in the way that you think), danger, my father.
Eleriff: Pretty women, mostly.
Gio: Goodness, I'm too perfect to have any weaknesses.

Your favorite element?
Eldra: Uhhhh, fire.
Daymond: Wind.
Eleriff: Water. Sometimes I wish that I could be a fish. *ducks head* Did I just say that?
Gio: Fire! *lights fireball*
Eldra: *dumps a bucket of water on Gio* No, Gio, you can't burn the building down. Again.

Do you care what others think of you?
Eldra: Hmmm. Depends on which roll I happen to be in. As an ambassador, I pretend to, but, in all honestly, I don't really care what others think.
Daymond: As long as the emotions displayed toward me aren't negative and/or hostile, I don't care.
Eleriff: As a prince, I am very aware of what is thought of me, so I act in exactly the way they don't want me to. *grin*
Gio: Only every waking moment.

Your theme song?
Eldra: My writer says I have several, but I don't know any of them. The music in her universe is different than mine.
Daymond: I am told one of mine is Thousand Foot Krutch's "Puppet".
Eleriff: Norm Strauss's "It's Not Safe Here Anymore".
Gio: Ummmm, I never thought about it before. Let's go with The Letter Black's "Fire With Fire", since I'm a bit of a pyro.

What's your species?
Eldra: Human, and I'll answer for Gio: vanity in human form.
Daymond: Human.
Eleriff: Human.
Gio: *glares at Eldra* Human I most certainly am.


Well, there you have it. If you actually read through the whole thing, you deserve a cookie:


There. Don't those look good? Now it's time for me to tag three others.


Excellent. Now I can take a break and go write something useful. Thanks for reading!

10 Things About Myself - A Tag

Oh no! I have been tagged by Ryebrynn, apparently as revenge for tagging her some time in the past. Actually, I've been looking for an excuse to blog, so I'm not mad.


1) Your hero
Hmm. Well, my hero is Jesus, but as far as "earthly" heroes go, I'm not sure. Kathy Tyers for sure.


2) Your favorite subject in school
Science and writing. (See, I'm meant to write science fiction!)


3) Your favorite animal
Horses -- especially Thoroughbreds and Arabians


4) Your favorite reptile
Uhhh, snakes, maybe? Not really big on the whole reptile thing.


5) Your number of dogs
None.


6) Your favorite movie(s)
TRON, TRON: Legacy, all three LOTR movies.


7) Are you an early bird or a bed bug?
Well, if we're talking early as in staying up past midnight, then I'm an early bird:)


8) When is your birthday?
Late April -- I got a gorgeous necklace, a massive Bible and the best email ever. Oh, and enough money for a 64GB iPod Touch. *explodes with happiness*


9) How many bathrooms does your house have?
Current house: two. Not nearly enough.


10) Have you ever been to Galveston, Texas?
No. Never even been to Texas.


And I tag... Squeaks, Leauphaun and Barriss.

10 Things On My Mind - A Tag

Squeaks' post of 10 things on her mind inspired me to do the same thing, so here are ten things currently on my mind.

1. RED. I've been rockin' to RED's latest album, Until We Have Faces, since we got it almost two months ago, but I've been listening to it even more this past week, due to these two videos.



2. Birthday parties & chocolate cake! There are five birthdays in my family in just over a month's time, and they're starting this week. Woo-hoo! We get to eat lots of cake!

 


3. Knitting. I've been working on a scarf on-and-off for the past couple of months, and it's getting very close to being completed. Unfortunately, my left pointer fingers is too bruised to continue right now.



4. Writing. Like Squeaks said, writing should always be on a writer's mind, but sometimes it seems to be closer to the front of my mind than other times. Currently, I am actually (and please don't hurt me for this) out of ideas for how to keep pushing the tension higher in my current story. My characters seem to want to work together (and they never want to do that) and I'm not sure what else I can throw at them to make things worse. I'm sure my devious mind will come up with something, though. *malicious grin*

5. Lego Star Wars. The Goose is renting the game for the Wii right now, and we've been challenging each other to see who can get more of the game completed before it has to go back tomorrow. I already know that I won't win, as he's over 50% and I'm only at 39%. At least we know what game we're buying next.


6. Lord Of The Rings. On Saturday, my siblings and I got to see all three extended movies in less than twelve hours. I threw my back out due to lying on a church pew for that long, but I think it was worth it. I'm also in the middle of rereading the trilogy.


7. King Cenred from Arthurian legend. 'Nuf said. Actually, he reminds me of Daymond, only with long hair. Love his double swords! I hopeless, I know.


8. TFK/Skillet/RED/other bands that scream. *pokes Squeaks and Jake* No, I'm not doing this just to bug you. I really do love screaming in CERTAIN songs. I don't think I'd like Bluetree or Third Day if they had screaming in their music. Actually, this should be labeled "epic guitar rifts" because that's the part of the song I enjoy the most.


9. Tuna. Tuna has been following me around all day. I thought the grocery list said "digestive tuna" not "digestive tea". And now the tuna are following me around. I think they're in league with the rabbits.


10. Awesome music videos. This one is made by Leauphaun using (what else?) LOTR clips set to the Iron Man Soundtrack song Gulmira.


Now, because I'm bored, I'm turning it into a tag. Followers of this blog, you have been officially tagged. Get moving. What's on your minds?

P.S. The contest ends this Saturday, so hurry up and enter!
