1. What is your name? Gideon Brady

2. What is your real name?

Uh, Gideon Brady.

3. Do you know why you were called that? Gideon, no. My mum wasn’t particularly fond of the ‘good book’ -- so again, I don’t have a clue.

4. Are you single or taken? Free as a mangy Manx shearwater!

5. Have any abilities or powers?

Spellcraft. I know your basic rituals, healing, sigils and circles. I do charms, too. And blood magic. I employ a special blend of wizardry for impossible tasks - For example, with my “electric eyes” I can look past solid objects, and see to far off spaces.

Extensive knowledge of dark/black arts and demonology.

Molecular ignition (pyrokenisis, as Stephen King would put it.)

I can talk to spirits, see ‘em, understand ‘em.

Stage Magic and Street magic -- Think, Harry Houdini or David Blaine.

6. Stop being a Mary Sue. I think the proper term is ‘Gary Stu’, yeah?

7. What’s your eye colour? Brown ... with some blue

8. How about your hair colour? Well, it’s blonde, in’n’it?

9. Have you any family members? I’m not sure what I’ve got left.

10. Oh? What about pets? None as of now. I’ve had cats, in the past. Nursed som’ bugs back to ‘ealth.

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like. Superficial judgment. What's to say?

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing? Actually, my work's my main hobby.

13. Ever hurt anyone before? Lots of people, lots of pain.

14. Ever… killed anyone before? Yes.

15. What kind of animal are you? I’m a homosapien.

16. Name your worst habits. I’ve been told I don’t make my emotions clear. And ‘sources’ say I can’t go a week without ‘itting the bottle. I ‘eard I smoke like a dragon.

17. Do you look up to anyone at all? My mate, Christopher.

18. Gay, straight, or bisexual? Bloody hell.

19. Do you go to school? Life’s lesson enough for me now. But I went to schools, just like your little Timmy and Julie did. Then it was on to some highfalutin privates courses, and it was takin’ those what copped me outta’ a few years of college.

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day? I’m not the marryin’ kind. Not the fatherin’ kind, either. (I couldn’t find my way out of a soggy diaper.)

21. Do you have any fanboys/fangirls? I’d like to think I turn a head every now an’ again.

22. What are you most afraid of? Losing the people I love. A man can give himself to worse things than death.

23. What do you usually wear? On calls I always wear the same things -- white shirt, red tie, black trousers, my trench coat. My favourite shoes are pleasing to mine eyes and ankles. Also black ... I don’t change my shoes much.

I often sport that same ensemble around the bookshop, but I’m not adamant about it.  A casual look usually consists of a long-sleeved shirt, rolled up at the sleeves. If I’m feeling racy, a t-shirt and a waistcoat works.

24. Do you love someone? Yes! No need to be ridiculous.

25. When was the last time you wet yourself? Gross. But if you MUST know -- I never did.

26. Well, it’s not over yet! Huh. Long quiz.

27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class) You be the judge, mate. ‘Means nothin’ to me.

28. How many friends do you have? Nine or ten close ones, they’re all sorts. Anybody ‘wants to be my friend, can be my friend.

29. What are your thoughts on pie? Good stuff, pie. Fattening stuff, too. I’ll pass.

30. Favourite drink? It’s gotta be Doc’t’ Pepp’h.

31. What’s your favorite place? Well, that’s kinna’ changed, given the circumstances an’ all. See, my favourite people aren’t around anymore ... And they took the place with ‘em. No people; no place.

32. Are you interested in someone~ I don’t like that tone of voice.

33. What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your dick?   Is that legal to ask that kind of thing? Ya’ know, I got some lawyer friends -- Well, they’re more acquaintances, but sill ...

34. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean? A lake’s a lot ... safer, I reckon. Yeah, probably the lake.

35. What’s your type? True. True to others, true to themselves.

36. Any kinks? No kinks.

37. Seme or uke? Run that by me in English, please – Or Welsh. Or French, or Haitian, or Latin ... Might catch a bit in Chinese. Swiss?

38. Camping or indoors? Campin’.
