Are you sitting there, bored, waiting for the almighty response post from whomever you're roleplaying with? Trying to find a way to make your characters distinctly uncomfortable? Procrastinating on that thing you really should do, but aren't doing? You've clicked on the right link.
Here's some character questions for them to answer. Since this is an ooc board, go ahead and have them answer even if they typically would plead the fifth. That is, if you want them to answer at all. Pick and choose whatever questions you like and drop the ones you don't think apply.
Also, two-person question lists are a thing. If you find one and want a partner, you've got one here. Just post it! This is for funsies.

| When was the first time you ever swore or said something profane? Honestly? I was so young, I can't actually remember... | What's a false assumption a lot of people have about you? People seem to think I'm gay? Must be the hair. |
| Have you ever questioned your sexuality? Yes. I'm pretty comfortable in my heterosexuality, but sleeping with my own clone -who was equally male- really makes you wonder. | Introduce your best friend. Tell the story of how you met. Victory, my niece. I was there when she was born. |
| In less than four sentences, describe the entire plot of the last book you read. Two assholes drive an Impala everywhere and die a lot. | Describe the appearance of the most untrustworthy person you can think of (they can be a person you've met or a made up person). Are they male or female or neither? What about their appearance makes them untrustworthy? Huge. Black fur. Giant teeth. Red eyes. Is honestly the worst thing ever. |
| What is the most cringeworthy thing you've ever seen? Lmao my entire life. | What is your biggest regret? I killed my sister. |
| Do you have any cousins? When was the last time you saw them? No blood relatives, but there were plenty aunts and uncles around our pack. Everyone was family. Its been a while since I've seen them. | OH NOES!!!! Someone has gotten you to drink a truth potion and now you have to truthfully answer every question you are asked!!! What's the worst possible question someone could ask you? This exact question!! Now I'm stuck in a paradox!!! |
| Describe the worst birthday you've ever had. Where I'm from, we didn't have the complex calendar you guys have. So we celebrated birth seasons, and everyone in the season they were born got a party thrown for them. It was a big quarter-yearly event. We think I'm an autumn birth. One of our autumn elebrations got interrupted by an invasion. | Describe, in detail, your first serious relationship. Describe how it ended. Okay, awkward. Don't judge me until you let me finish. It was with my sister. I was adopted by her father not long after she and I got involved. I had no idea about her dad, and he had no idea that I'd already met my "sister". So... we cut that one off pretty quickly. |
| What is your biggest irrational fear and how did you get it? I'm terrified of losing control, particularly of myself. Possession is a giant trigger for me, mainly because I have been possessed before. At one point, my body actually had two souls in it, and the fight for control left me stuck mid-shift. Yeah, imagine a human-hellhound monster with too many legs and faces and hearts and tell me that's not nightmare fuel. I had to get a soulseer's help to fuse them together. | Would your character rob a bank if they knew they could get away with it? Zero hesitation. Money doesn't really mean anything to me, and I'd likely give it all away once I have it. Honestly, it would be more for the fun of robbing the bank than anything else. I'd make some homeless guy's day. |
| If your character could go back to college (or to college), what would they major in? Business. Minor in underwater basket weaving. | Your character's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. What do they do? Well. Assuming I have a car (which I don't), I'd leave it and just run along the road. I usually catch rides on the tops of semi-trucks anyway. |
| Did they ever bully anybody? Were they ever bullied? How did they react to the bullying or what prompted them to bully someone? Typically I was the one being bullied. I would have dealt with them diplomatically, but I was rarely ever given the chance. My sister would go in and kick their asses. | Oh man! Your character failed a class with flying colors! What class is it and how do they react? It's English. You see how well you do in a class having just learned to read and write! It's hard, okay? |
| Your character is given an opportunity to travel to a different time for a week. Where do they go? What do they do? Dude. Roman gladiators. | Your character is to get one super power. What do they choose and why? I'd love to fly. Original? No. Awesome? Yes!! |
| If your character was to write a book, what would it be about? My autobiography. It's a comedy. A Divine Comedy. I'm actually in Hell. | Where would your character take a date? The diner? The opera? I used to take Hero up in a hot air balloon I inherited from an old lady who used to have tea with me every eighth day. We usually flew low and dropped water skins on people. |
| What's your character's idea of rebellion? That's kind of a weird concept to me. This place has a lot more rules than I'm used to. Police. Courts. Government. I'm used to a place where everyone is self-governed. Sure, we had a leader, but nothing this expansive. It's less rebellion and more me just acting like I would normally. | Is your character a trend-setter or trend-follower? Honestly? I don't know most of the trends, so I can't follow them. And I've yet to see anyone dye their hair red. So... neither? |
| Awww, your character is sick! Do they like to be tended to or left alone? At what point would they go to the doctor's? Tend to me! Feed me! Love me! I honestly don't know when to go to the doctor's. Probably at the point I have two souls again. That'd do it. | Uh-oh. Your character was just canned from their job. How do they handle this? A job? I was probably dicking around anyway. No biggie. In fact, it gives me an opportunity for a cool quitting gag. Maybe have someone pose as FBI doing an audit, but they're really just writing 'Torrid quits' on all their stuff. |
| What is your character's idea of paradise? I've actually been there. Like, my own literal, non-metaphorical Heaven. It's a bunch of really happy memories of mine. The whole time I was miserable thinking about how I couldn't stay. | What is your character's idea of hell? Supposedly, I was formed in Hell. But thankfully I don't remember any of it. There's a bunch of different kinds of hells for me, and this is one of them. I spent thirty-five years in Sanguine, which was... I don't have words. And Feral was the definition of Hellish. I'm glad it collapsed. |
| So your character has an enemy. What is their past? Why do they hate each other? I have lots of enemies. Most by association, trying to take out my sister. Some were targeting my wife and I. Some were pirates, others were mafia members. People here are racist, and I've had run ins with hunters. I think Sam and Dean Winchester might actually try to kill me. Not completely sure yet. | Describe your character's first kiss. Like, as a human? Uh, I tried it the way I already knew, and apparently that's frowned upon. |
| Describe your character's bedroom. Homeless. I can sleep pretty much anywhere, but if I get my choice I usually sleep outside, preferably in a forest with some fallen leaves or thick grass. | If your character won the lottery, what would they do with the cash? Money doesn't really mean anything to me. I had a lot not long ago, and it's gone now. I'm more likely to give it away or spend it on something stupid. Like a hot air balloon. |
| If your character had to donate money to a cause, what would it be? Free personal therapists for hunters. It's actually really necessary, and it's also a backhanded gift to Sam and Dean! | If your character were to open a business, what would it be? A pirating vessel. I've already got experience in the field. Don't worry, we'd only pirate other pirates. |
| Your character hears strange noises from the basement. What do they do about it? Make strange noises back. | Your character is walking down a dark alley and a person steps out in front of them. What happens next? 'Hey, man. I was just about to ask if you were hungry. Come on, let me buy you dinner and we can talk about your life choices.' |
| What's the cruelest thing your character ever did to someone? Actually not proud of this, but I needed to know the name of this mobster who was sending assassins after me, but no one was giving him up. So my wife and I caught one and while she kept his face in the ground... well, I only threatened him with something, but it still made him talk REAL fast. Let's just say he didn't think the hilt of my blade was actually a sword. | What's the kindest thing your character ever did for someone? I didn't think it was that nice, but she seemed to think so. I came across this girl sobbing in a temple. Turns out her brothers were murdered, and she was left in serious debt. I'd had a successful voyage and a lot of gold I was just going to spend on stupid stuff. So I gave her all of it. She was so thankful, she accepted me into her coalition. |
| Your character is falling in love. Do they take things slow or fast? Do they make decisions or do they make a lot of compromises? How secure are they? I only fell in love once, and I courted her for years. Mostly compromises, and that was okay. There wasn't anything she could ask of me I wouldn't do. Seriously, nothing. | Is your character insecure or confident? Is anyone completely one or the other?? I'm a confident person, who harbors some insecurities. |
| What are your character's workout habits? I run everywhere. Then eat a lot. | Describe your character's ideal wedding. Already had it. Everyone was there. We released paper lanterns. I embarrassed her with a speech. We honeymooned so long, they sent a messenger to find us. |
| What does your character smell like? I groom a lot, so I hope like nothing. | What is your character's ideal weather? Anything so long as it isn't foggy. Sunny and tropical is my first choice. |
| How well does your character sleep? Like a drunk who spiked the punch at an AA meeting. | Does your character have any nerdish leanings? One time I was coerced into playing as Sam in bed. Does that count? |
| What is your character's handwriting like? Better than a cockroaches, but worse than a second-grader's. | A typical weekend for your character is like… There is no typical weekend for me. One time, I was in a zoo. As an exhibit, not as a guest. Another time, I was in an Icelandic wolf god's den. Really can be anything. |
| Your character gets the opportunity to have five famous people, living or dead, over for dinner. Who do they pick and why? Could I just have five Emelia Clarkes in the room? | Your character passes a homeless person in the street. Do they give them money or walk past them? Why? If I have money, I'll give all of it. If I have time and money, I'd take them out to lunch or something. If I have time, but no money, I'll probably steal some from someone else and give it to them. |
| What is your character's favorite holiday? Why? This place has a ton of holidays. Kinda baffling, really. Back home, we had a neon lights celebration over a victory against Gehenna where we threw glowing mushroom extract at each other. It got us all a little high, but that's beside the point. Here, the next coolest thing is that time I was in the middle of a tomato-throwing festival in Spain. Really wish I'd been given the heads up on that one. | If your character could be any character from fiction, who would they be? Gabriel! |
| Your character wants to go on vacation for a week. Where would they go? Why? I mean, I have an island in Belize that doesn't suck. | If your character were to play a professional sport, what would they choose? Why? There's so many! I think I'd choose rock climbing. |
| How good is their sense of direction? Do they oftentimes get lost or are they good at finding their way around? I'm usually not too bad. Though, this universe is set up strangely, with the world spherical and the sun on the outside. I'm used to one giant box with the sun and stars in the center. So the whole polar fields thing screws with my senses. But I'm adjusting. | Is your character good at keeping their checkbook balanced? Have they ever bounced a check? Are they generally pretty good with money? Do they pay their bills on time or do they tend to forget? Hahaha. No. Uh, I think the number the guy gave me for my scrap medals was something in the millions. When I learned you can actually buy land here, I got an island, and a boat to get there. That got lonely, so I gave away the boat and everything else. I seriously don't get this world's obsession with it. It's a plaything. Something to keep me entertained for a bit. But if it makes someone else happy to get it from me, I'm fine to give it away. |
| Has anybody ever been discriminatory toward your character because of his/her race, gender, religious beliefs? Describe the event and how your character reacted? All the time. Hunters hear 'not-totally-human' and they're trigger-happy. Everyone else thinks I'm Satan himself and start praying or sobbing or running. Honestly, it's getting old. I'm half-inclined to buy an ad on TV and make a PSA: Being called a monster is completely unnecessary! | If your character had a child, what would they name it? Do they even like children? Why or why not? I love kids. They've got a lot less bias, which is cool. I had one of my own, and we named her Valor, after the son my sister lost. |
| Does your character live by any kind of philosophy? My dad used to tell me, "Even when you're flat on your back, things are still looking up." | Does your character resemble anybody famous? I've been told I look like this guy? |
