#character interviews

I’m gonna call this au interviews w/ an immortal and it’s an au where in order to become an immortal another immortal must offer up their immortality (which can also be stolen from them).

In this au you have trainee XF and SY who are “inbetweeners”. Basically they’re inbetween life and/or death, neither working directly for the heavens or the underworld/hell.

They usually see which immortals don’t want to be immortals and interview them.

Interview #1 )

The immortal has a mosaic covering their face, but their hair is pulled up into a ponytail and they stand with an almost righteous stance. Beside them is a well-cared for blade, clearly having been with the person for a long time. (Guess who this is lol)

SY: So sir immortal, why are you giving up your immortality? You're one of the peaks of strength, just mentioning your name is enough to make armies cower in fear! Why on earth would you give that up?

Mosaic #1: I've spent my life climbing my way to the top, yet now that I'm here I find it lacking. There's no thrill from overcoming a tough opponent, there's no risk of danger from fighting someone several times stronger than me. Losses have become all but impossible for me.

XF, butting in: Wait, you're a god of war... Wouldn't you want to be undefeated? Is that not a good thinkg for you?

Mosaic #1, the 'war god', lets out a grunt of unidentifiable emotion: A fight can not be called a fight if there's no challenge. Immortality is a blessing as much as it is a curse, what is the point of an everlasting life with no purpose?

SY: So.. You're bored?

Mosaic #1, War God: *Grunt of affirmation*

SY: ...

XF: So you're really going to die because you're too strong?

Mosaic #1, War God: I'm willing to reenter the stream of reincarnation and go through every experience all over again.

XF: ...

SY: ...

XF: So, you're a masochist?

Mosiac #1, War God: Pardon?

SY, who quickly slaps a hand over Xiang Fei's mouth: Nothing, thank you for your time! That'll conclude the interview! We'll get back to you when a suitable candidate makes a request for immortality!

Interview #2)

The immortal once again has a mosiac covering their face, however one is able to make out a moustache from the facial features that aren't censored. His sleeves are wide and airy, probably for concealing various handheld weapons at the same time. In his hair, there's a needle within that seems to be holding his hair up.

XF, who gets to go first because SY went first last time: So, you're an immortal doctor, what reason do you have for giving up your immortality?

Mosaic #2, the 'immortal doctor': People seem to be taking their lives for granted more often since my ascension. Many people often come to worship me with there horrible injuries, most of which they just laugh off with a "The Benevolent Physician has never led us astray, he will guide us with his healing hands."

SY: Ah, so they're exploiting you?

Mosiac #2, The 'benevolent physician': More than that, they're actively throwing themselves into danger because of this odd reliance on me. It's honestly a neverending struggle to keep them alive. I'd like to start over, if I leave them for a few years they'll eventually relearn how importsnt their lives are.

SY: Wait, so you're just going to disappear and leave them to die?

XF: This sounds not very benevolent, actually

Mosiac #2, the 'morally grey(?) physician': Some things must be learned the hard way?

XF: Isn't saving lives,, like,,, your thing?

Mosaic #2, definitely morally grey physician: I can't cure stupidity, much less stupidity that's being passed down as generational knowledge.

SY: ... Aaand okay wow, thank you for your time.. I always assumed healing gods had it easy

XF: So did I, but this gives me writing material so I'm not complaining

SY: You're scum dude.. Anyways, thank you for the interview, we'll let you know when there's a suitable candidate for immortality appears and makes a request!

Mosiac #2: (Mild confusion)

Thanks @willtheweaver for the tag!

I've done a lot of things with Caldren, so I think I'll switch it up this time and interview my gal Phoenix, the title character from my superhero novel.

Are you named after anyone?

Not a person. I'm named after the phoenix, duh. A bird that rises in flames from the ashes of defeat.

When was the last time you cried?

I don't cry. Crying is for the weak and powerless, and I am not either of those things. When something hurts me, I fight back, not cry about it.

Do you have kids?

No. I do have a... younger brother, sort of. I raised him pretty much all by myself, so I guess you could say he's like my kid. But I don't actually have any.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Heh. Yeah, whenever I can.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

How strong they are, what their build is. Whether I could take them in a fight. Whether they'll run or try to be a hero and attack me.

What’s your eye color?

The color of fire and coals burning the flesh of those who've hurt me.

(Her eyes are brown)

Any special talents?

I have gloves that can create and control fire. They're pretty hard to use. I can also fight really well. It's what I was trained for my whole life.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings aren't real, and who needs scary movies when your whole life is a nightmare? *Bitter laugh.* Ash can't handle the scary stuff, so we generally watch kid stuff, when we're allowed to watch movies at all.

Where were you born?

Dunno. My... I don't know what to call him, the jerk who raised me, he found me as a toddler. Somewhere around here, I guess. Who cares?

Do you have any pets?

No. The last thing I need is something else to feed and take care of.

How tall are you?

I don't know exactly, but a little shorter than average. Somewhere around five feet tall? Don't let that fool you though. I'm still really powerful.

What was your favorite subject in school?

(Sarcastically) What's school? *Laughs* We mostly just had fighting training and stuff like that. I did like to read about old wars and stuff when I could get ahold of books. And I really loved art. Looking at it and making it. Not that I was allowed to make art, but sometimes you just gotta graffiti a wall even if you'll get beaten for it.

What is your dream job?

Taking vengeance on my enemies, defeating the superheroes, and finally having the chance to live the life I deserve. Huh? Yeah, I know supervillain isn't an actual job, but who cares? Besides, I'm not the villain here anyway.

Mother:

She smiles and feels her heart beat so strongly, it feels like it's ready to burst out of her chest. This is just too cute.

"Oh my treasure, my darling little one." she places both her hands over her heart and her eyes feel a little misty.

"I appreciate that so much more than you'll ever know, but you don't ever have to worry about me. I want you to grow up big and strong enough that you can make your own family and home anywhere you want!"

She leans over and pulls you into a tight, warm hug, "I will always love you, no matter what happens. And I pray that whatever might happen, that you'll still love me too..."

-

I am a little sad that I sometimes have to make June's responses short, as to avoid spoilers. Sorry! 😭

"What's your biggest regret? Has is formed you into the person you are today?"

Full Interview Below Cut!

Thank you @riveriafalll for tagging me!

My questions: - When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? - If you could travel in time, where would you go and why? - What does your bed look like? (shape, size, number of pillows, stuffed animals, ...)

I have too many OCs, and too much ideas, which one could answer these... So I made a list and let a random number generator decide on two characters. We got: Ryee from sᴘᴀʀᴋs, ɢʟɪᴍᴍᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ғʟᴀᴍᴇs and Evette from just write

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Ryee: I used to admire Nimk. My parents told me stories about him and I used to see his ship from afar. I wanted to become a sailor just like him. And at some point, Nimk himself invited me to join his crew. And now I'm part of it. Even though we lost him, I'm proud being a part of the crew.

Evette: When I was very little, I wanted to be vet or a magical girl, like many others. I think when I was around 13 years old, I begun with photography and I wished to make a living with it. After the catastrophes and the aftermath of it, my only wish for the future was to survive. It still is. But after the whole TerraNex-Mess, I started to make pics again. Dean really helped me and often he joins me too. I realized how important memories can be and with photography, I can understand my mind a bit more, even if it doesn't actually makes sense. ᵂʰʸ ᵃᵐ ᴵ ˢᵗⁱˡˡ ᵗᵃˡᵏⁱⁿᵍ

If you could travel in time, where would you go and why?

Ryee: Tough question. Our childhood was not perfect and could definitely be better. Ether, I would play out the arrivals from my friends again. I really wanna see their little faces again, when they first joined the crew. Oh boy, Lia was almost as red as her hair! But on the other side, I wanna know, if we really succeed. If the childhood of the future generations would be better than ours.

Evette: Definitely the past. I would give so much to see my parents again without just living the memory. I want to hug them again, say things, I never thought about saying back then and spend my time with them. I could try stopping them, so they won't be in Japan when the meteorites hit there.

What does your bed look like?

Ryee: I mostly sleep in my hammock on the Miststorm II. I have a blanket in there and use my arm as pillow. My hammock is right next to a wall and Stak made me a ... thing to place my hook there. A few meters away from my hammock is Koyls hammok. He rarely sleeps at night there so most times, I am save from his snoring.

Evette: My bed is made from a light brown wood. I have two blankets, one is really soft and I use it in cold nights, the other blanket is very thin and almost too small for me. I have one long pillow and one cat-snake plushie, that could be used as pillow to. Right next to my bed is a small night stand, with a few pictures (plus more pictures in the drawers, but I don't talk about these - bad memories). I have a small donkey stuffed animal and a lamp to read at the edge of my bed.

Your Questions: - What's the most surprising thing someone has learned about you upon meeting you? - What unexpected skill or talent do you possess? - Is there a fear you secretly hold that most people wouldn't guess?
