#interview asks

Ooh an Aubrey ask!! I (Mod Acacia) adore Aubrey (she's probably my favorite character in the game besides Hero) so this is so exciting! I'll try my best to answer in her POV in keeping with the ask game (and I chose some game sprites to include just for fun too!)

Thank you so much for the ask. Take care! 💙

AUBREY Answers:

7. Who do you look up to?

I would have said Mari but um...I guess I'm older than she was now...

I think I'm always going to look up to her though. She was so kind and had this way of taking care of everyone. She could make you feel safe, like everything was going to be okay no matter how bad things were, and she was always looking for everyone and protecting them. No matter what you knew she would always be right by your side.

When I was little, I thought she was just the most amazing person. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. I still do. Even if I'll always be older than her now

17. What makes you laugh?

Thanks for thinking I actually have a sense of humor. Some of my friends don't think so 🙄 but that's only because I don't like stupid jokes or potty humor (which is all bozos like Mikhael and Angel are capable of).

But I do laugh at snarky things, especially in movies, on TV, or with my friends. Kim is really sarcastic and makes me laugh a lot, and Sunny occasionally has some funny one-liners (even though I think he's just being honest and not trying to be funny).

Don't tell Hero but sometimes his "dad jokes" are actually kind of hilarious too (even if most of them make me want to roll my eyes).

And...fine. I'll never live it down for admitting it but...

To get back into writeblr, but also to meet new and old original characters alike, I have a long list of interview-style questions at the ready! They should be friendly for fantasy, science-fiction, or real(ish) world characters, so feel free to participate as long as you have original characters to be asked--writers and artists alike!

Answer as your character would: will they tell the truth? How much will they reveal? Will the question get them emotional, or will they refuse to answer at all?

Probably should have answered this one first! 

I graduated from [school] in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Biology, and a minor in chemistry and Genomics. In my undergrad studies, I worked in a cell culture lab where I conducted a study about green tea and whether or not its active ingredient could alter the proliferation of cancer cells. Since graduating, I’ve been working in the field of cancer genetics and have participated in research studies involving office efficiency and patient accessibility to genetic testing. 

Lumen slowly lifts her gaze from the nightshade she’d beencrushing into a paste. Babette, the Dark Brotherhood’s resident vampire, neverengaged in idle talk. Every word, every question, served a purpose. But Lumenwas hard-pressed to discern the reasoning behind this particular line ofquestioning.

“Well I did save the fucking world,” she said at length. “Somewould say that makes me a good person.”

“But you did it for us. You did it for your family. Somewould say that’s a purely selfish reason.”

Lumen sighed through her nose. “I kill people other peopledon’t want around anymore. It’s a public service.”

Babette laughed.

“Fine.” She set the mortar and pestle down. “I’m not a goodperson. I’ve never been a good person—and I don’t fucking care. What does itmatter anyway? People believe what they want.”

I love this question and you should be proud of your ability to train rabbits! I’ve only ever had fish, so I wouldn’t have any idea what to do with one of those little fluffballs. 

Something that I’m proud of is the fact I’ve created new jobs. I began working as a genetic counselor’s assistant a year and a half ago. The position was new to the office and one of my jobs was to show that it was worth paying for. Part of that was a research study one of the GCs and I conducted where we looked at certain appointment statistics (time spent on patients during their appointments, days GC takes to write a clinic note etc.) before and after I was brought on. We found that I significantly increased productivity in the office and even allowed us to maintain patient numbers even when one of our GCs left. I presented that data at NSGC and we are continuing the project to see how moving to all telehealth appointments and adding another GC affected our numbers. 

Which I am very proud of on its own, but also because this data is being used as evidence for why other GC offices should hire GCAs. Our office has implemented a telehealth structure (even before the pandemic) that allows us to offer testing to individuals who get care at other hospitals in our health care system but cannot easily travel to our location. We’re now creating a program that GC offices in other states can follow to create their own version of our model, which includes a budget for them to hire a GCA. 

“Uh, w—why would you ask me that?” Luka tucked his handsinside the sleeves of his oversized robe and visibly shrank. He kept his eyestrained on his feet. I—I think they might be flirting with me. Oh, Sithis. Whatdo I do? Dread slithered down his spine and coiled within his stomach. Butrather than run for the hills (as his every instinct was telling him to do) hespoke. “Um… I guess I enjoy many things that generally aren’t held in highregard. Bad poetry, puns, baby spiders, necromancy— but I don’t like that term. It has abad reputation. I prefer ‘late-term healer,’ myself.” He laughed at that joke.
