skull_bearerCharacter meme
1. choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. make them answer the following questions.
3. then tag three people.
4. feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!
A mixed bag of favourites, because it's fun that way :):
Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto, from X-men. Most particularly from Past Tense.
Elric of Melnibone from Micheal Moorcock's 'Elric' universe.
Aaand Fistandantilus, because Raistlin wasn't feeling up to it. From Dragonlance, or more particularly, from I&E (funny how those two are starting too look more and more mutually exclusive)

How old are you?
Erik: What? Are we talking Past Tense because there I'm nineteen. Otherwise I haven't the faintest idea because the Marvel goons have been fucking with my storyline so much I don't know if I'm coming or going.
Elric: Last time Iooked, I was twenty eight. Last time I looked was eons ago so feel free to correct me if you have ANY friggin' idea yourself.
Fistandantilus: If I told you, a certain blasted Dark elf would make sure to travel back in time and kill me when I was born, so I'm not telling.
What's your height?
Erik: 6'2'', imposing enough not to be freakish.
Elric: 5'11'' A bit taller than normal.
Fistandantilus: It matters what illusion I'm using. Down to the bone, 5'9''
Elric: Hah, shortest one here.
Fistandantilus: Also one with no soul, so if I were to call that demon sword of yours...
Elric:...
Erik: Metal. Try again.
Are you a virgin?
Erik: No, in Past Tense-verse, not yet.
Elric: Nope, not by a long short.
Fistandantilus: *answer drowned out by an overwhelming cry of 'NO!' from everyone in my head. Some questions you just don't want answered*
Who's your mate/spouse?
Erik: Charles Xavier in Past Tense, which make me luckier at love than any of my other incarnations. One thing you can be sure of here, disaster won't come from your spouse... unless you're hetrosexual, in which case suicide might be an option.
Elric: Unless your're me.
Erik: True, unless you're one of the pitifully few characters she actually believes is straight.
Fistandantilus: Or me.
Erik: in which case no one wants to know.
Do you have any kids?
Erik: In PT-verse, no. In others... don't remind me. If I had the choice of worlds, one thing that would attract me to Past Tense is that it would be impossible for me to have children.
Skull Bearer: So sayeth the person who sent me mpreg dreams...
Erik: Shut up!
Elric: I think so, yes, but it's part of Moocock's insanely convoluted afterlife series that gives everyone a headache, it's unclear.
Fistandantilus: *everyone: Shut up!*
What's your favourite food?
Erik: Believe me when I say I'm not fussy, but... *whispers* ice cream.
Elric: Pasta, something I've only recently discovered a taste for.
Fistandantilus: *finally gets a word in edgeways* The souls of mortals.
*everyone stares at Fistandantilus*: oookaaay.
What's your favourite ice cream flavor?
Erik: Chocolate.
Elric: I'm going to have to go with chocolate too.
Erik: How can you not like chocolate?
Skull Bearer: *points at Fistandantilus* He doesn't.
Fistandantilus: And I hate ice-cream too.
*Everyone*: You truely are the unholiest bastard present.
Have you killed anyone?
Erik: PT-verse, not directly, as though that's any excuse. Otherwise yes, but those bastards deserved it.
Elric: *hangs head* don't remind me.
Fistandatilus: *outbreak of maddened cackling*
Do you hate anyone?
Erik: YES! And believe me, I have good reason!
Elric: I've recently found hatred to really not be worth the energy.
Fistandantilus: Human emotions are beneath me for the most part, but everyone seems to hate me for some reason.
Have any secrets?
Erik: ...Actually, not really. I can't really see anything I wouldn't admit to if confronted.
Elric: My identity. most of the time, people tend to become unhelpful if they discovered you've destroyed an entire world, no matter how inadvertently.
Skull Bearer: Cheer up, Darth Vader has a fan club.
Elric: Oh, thank you.
Fistandantilus: if I did, do you think I'd admit them?
Do you love anyone?
Erik: *smiles* yes, that I don't mind talking about.
Elric: *sigh* I used to, and look how that turned out.
Fistandantilus: Yes. Me. More than anything.
What is your job?
Erik: ... techincally speaking, I don't have one. certainly nothing I can put on a CV.
Elric: knight of the Balance, again, nothing you can put on a CV.
Fistandantilus: Antagonist.
boy or girl?
Erik: Are you asking if I'm a boy or girl, or which I'd prefer to sleep with? If the first, then I'm a man, thank you. If the second... I don't mind, but I'm currently taken, sorry.
Elric: Oh, girls certainly *Is proud that he'd about the only character in my harem that can say that*
Fistandantilus: *speaking at top speed*Deadbodies-*SHUT UP!*
What do you do to relax?
Erik: Fly very, very high up.
Elric: Read.
Fistandantilus: Study magic.
Skull Bearer: That's the closest he gets *studiously ignores 'dead bodies' reference*
Family tree information?
Erik: we had to go there, didn't we? Large family. All dead. Thank you.
Elric: Small family. All dead.
Fistandantilus: All dead.
Do you have any background in previous stories?
Erik: In canon, plenty, and more contradictory than the bible. In Past tense, I believe that covers my background fairly coherently, which is a (relatively) pleasant change.
Elric: Not really. Some references, but for the most part I believe my early years were uniformly boring.
Skull Bearer: It's always the quiet ones...
Fistandantilus: Yes, isn't it?
Fistandantilus: No, absolutely nothing.
Did you ever see each-other naked?
Erik: See who naked? The writer? The other characters? I see Charles naked all the time, but otherwise not so much.
Elric: Again, this question is confusing.
Fistandantilus: *is gagged by Skull Bearer to avoid renewed use of the metal-scrubbing brush*
Do you plan to show up later in different universes/stories?
Erik: Gods, that would be a crossover. But honestly, I've switched verses enough in canon, I don't want to do it in my time off.
Charles: This is what you see it as? Time off?
Erik: In absolute honesty Charles, where would you rather be? Here, or watching your race slowly drive itself extinct through collective stupidity? At least here you can get laid.
Charles: *speechless*
Elric: I've lost count how many worlds I've been to, so I guess it'll be inavitable one way or another.
Fistandantilus: I believe the powers-that-are have put together a specific block in the multiverse banning me from leaving Krynn.
Raistlin: Oh, thank you.
What was the most dreadful thing your creator has done/ can do to you??
Fistandantilus: The inevitable feeling of doom that tells me I'm going to die at some point.
Erik: Six years of hell. Stretching off to a lifetime of hell in Marvel-verse.
Elric: The destruction of my world and everything on it due to my own action.
Erik: ...
Fistandantilus: ...
Erik: ...You win.
Fistandatilus: ...I agree.
Erik: What? Are we talking Past Tense because there I'm nineteen. Otherwise I haven't the faintest idea because the Marvel goons have been fucking with my storyline so much I don't know if I'm coming or going.

If I could choose a place to live, it'd be the inside of your brain, at least in moments like this one. ";-]
