100 Questions About Midnight, Part 4 - Self Images and Etc.

by Midnight Erebus

---
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
---
My typical work isn't exactly routine. If I'm on a tracking mission, I'm doing that and the way that happens is varied. I suppose when I'm not doing that my typical day at this point is I wake up, get some exercise and training in to warm up for the day, take a shower or bath if I have time, have breakfast, do whatever work I have that needs to be done whether it be a mission or odd job, have dinner, take some time to do something fun, then get a bit of reading or writing in to settle in to get some sleep in. This getting disrupted is not usually a big deal. Unless I'm taking a bath... then I can get a little cross. Getting the right ginger soaps for a good bath isn't exactly easy and I hate wasting them.
 
---
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
---
My sense of loyalty. It's the thing that helps me quell any doubts I might have about a situation most easily. Also has kept me from ever facing danger on my own.
 
---
86. What is your greatest weakness?
---
My fear of being alone. Honestly when I was pulled from my world, I likely would have gone mad were it not for my finding a new place for myself here.
 
---
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
---
Hmm... I suppose I wouldn't mind having the kind of brains Nilly or the more research oriented crewmembers have. I'm certainly not dumb, but I don't make the same kind of connections they do with data. Understanding what one is working with is one thing. Being able to use that information to invent and build though? That's beyond me.
 
---
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
---
Extroverted, definitely. I enjoy conversing and putting myself in the thick of things.
 
---
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
---
Organized. Got to be when you travel around a lot. If you can't organize your belongings, you can't travel with as much and won't have things handy when you need them.
 
---
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
---
I'd consider myself good at fighting, hunting, and analyzing situations.
Bad at crafts, fine finger coordination and managing my temper on my own.
 
---
91. Do you like yourself?
---
Mostly. There's always room for improvement of course.
 
---
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasonsā€¦)
---
The adrenaline rush. As odd as it sounds, when I get scared or in a high stress situation? I've found it to be stimulating. Like a fish swimming in water. It's more intoxicating than liquor. I'm mostly up front about this though I don't go into full detail.
 
---
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
---
I'd like to be the head of a large family. Not just that of blood, but of choice. I suppose I could start an orphanage when I retire. Teach others the way I was taught, arrange for them to work with others and so on.
 
---
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
---
Probably doing the same thing I'm doing now. Will it be in Luminal, back home or somewhere else? Hard to say.
 
---
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
---
Quietly, surrounded with reminders of great accomplishments and loved ones. That or saving a friend. Obviously the former is preferred though. Better to live a long, but glorious life in manner in which you'll never be forgotten.
 
---
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
---
Gather all the friends and family I have together
Throw a massive bash that will never be forgotten
End the night with a beautiful woman and hope my end comes quietly and painlessly.
 
---
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
---
That I lived my life to the fullest every moment I could.
 
---
98. What three words best describe your personality?
---
Loyal, adventurous, and independent
 
---
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
---
Hot-blooded, enthusiastic, and wild.
 
---
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your adviceā€¦)
---
Not every moment has to be a high one, Midnight. Sometimes it's better to take a quiet moment to reflect on everything and come to accept the events of the past rather than charging forward. Maybe take some time during your baths just to think. You'll face some of these challenges again and some day it will break you if you don't confront it.
