Interview with a Character

[Pages]

*Authors note. The story is progressing and several things have changed. Not physical changes, just the change of life and happenings and such. Should continue to answer questions as if nothing has changed or should I inform you of the changes?*

*Thanks, and sorry about the double question thing. I feel quite stupid*

+~+~+

How is Gaea different from earth nature wise? What kind of music do you have? How many years does it take for the different humanoids to mature to an adult?

+~+~+

Nriith in the name of the mountain flowers.

I am very tall, even by my country's standards; but I have learned to conceal myself well and to walk leaving a trail only the most skillful of trackers could follow.

There are always people trying to snatch power away at these times. The only one that could cause problems is the Queen.

My nation is the smallest of all our alies. It is nearly 50 leagues in length and 30 in width.

*Authors Note has been noted, yes please inform me of the changes*

*Authors Note, After this post Jonas will be off to the NAF to meet with former Isacar, Cecilia where he will leave the reporter with her. Thus, Princess Cecilia, the Fury Trigger (add a couple more titles)will be answering all questions after this.*

*******

My turn to feel stupid, how long is a league (somehow I knew your nationa was small)? How tall is the average Joe of Nriith? What's with the Queen if she's married to your brother ( me- )? What is your next plan of action? Who are your brothers most important military allies? Any new news on nosy girl yet?

*******

Other than the fantasy animals, dinosaurs, magical landforms, and unstable oceans, Gaea is very much like Earth.

Gaeans have not developed much along the lines of pop culture. Folk songs are pretty much all I hear.

Oni, dwarves, centaurs, goblins, merfolk, orc, seraphim, and wraith all age about the same speed as humans. Elves I know for a fact age the same as us until about ten when they slow down drasticly. When I tricked Sennal into revealing she was 21 I was suprised since she had the body of a 13 year old. Nymphs, I've learned, age only slightly faster than the trees they live in. I don't know about the rest.

 

[Pages]

Who is Jonas? Is the job important? What’s with the reporter?

+~+~+

*Authors note has been noted*

+~+~+

A league can range from 2.4 miles to 4.2 miles, depending to whom you’re talking to, in my country it is probably nearer to 3.5 miles.

The average Joe of Nriith stands near 6’3-5”.

The Queen poses the greatest threat to me because she is married to my brother. In Nriith, there are many rules concerned with magic because it is so powerful. Only the Emperor has the power to use it to it’s full potential, and since men cannot use magic, that is supposed to never happen. But if for some reason my brother where to have an ‘accident’ and die, Seri (the queen) could easily take over the country and call herself Emperor if the accident happened at the right time. At the moment, the Queen has no following of her own that she can direct according to her own will. She must have the permission of my brother to do anything concerning the war.

Another option for her to take is to slowly gain control over my brother. Seri is a very beautiful woman, and my brother is very weak concerning beauty. It would be a simple task to bend him to her will.

My next plan of action is to keep the my whereabouts secret for as long as possible. My men and I have made it to the Veline Caves safely. We are in the process of repairing an old fort. Once we have a stable place to retreat to, and to house the sick, I will send out recruiters for an army.

The most notable allies of my brother are the Lords Breth, Vreth, and Dreth. Triplets, and third cousins to the royal bloodline. Their father was insulted that they could only be named one of the lowest High names because of the distance of blood, so he refused them the right. Their pride almost matches their father. After the Queen, they pose the greatest threat.

No news has reached me of her yet. I feel that something has gone wrong for she seems to have just disappeared. We hope this is not a trick of the Queen’s.

 

[NeoScribe]

*Authors Note, you are the reporter*

*******

So would you consider the Queen a greater threat than your brother or just a potential threat? What does Seri mean? Where is she from again? What right was denied the triplets? Where does your brother rule from?

*******

Please restate questions, I am unsure who they are directed to. Thank You!

 

[Pages]

*The questions are directed to Jonas, sorry, I seem to have a hard time making clear who or what I'm talking about.*

 

[NeoScribe]

No big deal, But are the questions directed to Jonas or Cecilia? 'Cause you asked who is Jonas. And what job are you talking about?

 

[Pages]

I don't have time to answer the questions, I'll post them later.

*Stars over*

I was asking Cecilia because that is who you said would be answering the questions. I went back and read the post again.

Who is Jonas? Did you already answer that question and I've forgotten? What's your favorite color? Why is it your favorite color? Why are you called Furry Trigger?

 

[NeoScribe]

Lord Jonas is the Avilar... or the Grand-Tal... or whatever he's being called these days. Until two years ago he and Lady Skye (his sister) were under mine and several others protection. We guarded them and instructe them on how to stay alive until Lord Jonas grew into his role and began giving orders to us. Nowadays we have no alliegence to each other as we are governing sperate kingdoms but he is still the only person I feel comfortable talking to about serious problems and is one of the few people I won't throw something at when angry.

My favorite color is yellow, beacause it is the color of the plains that I live on. Staring at the wide open space calms me down.

Fury Trigger was an honorary title I recieved from my brother and Lord Jonas after the Battle of Castell. It's a play on my tmper and my skill with the techna weapon called a gun. I have a habit of shooting at anything that moves in battle and when I get really angry I can really pump led into those suckers! It was also noticed that the enemies I took down seemed to have been riddled with bullets before they fell even though my gun is a not automatic.

 

[Pages]

*I'm so embarrassed, that's your guys name. ::Knocks head:: sorry.*

+~+~+

Who's your brother? Do you like to fight? Are you married? What do you look like? What do you think of Lord Jonas? If you could have one wish, what would it be? Do you like to travel? Can you read? Do you celebrate birthdays? Do you speak the High tongue? What's your race?

+~+~+

The Queen is a potential threat until Shyn dies, or she gains control of his mind. (She can only control minds if they are unaware of what she is doing)

Seri means Youthful. I've merely said that she is from a neighboring kindom. *Authors note I'm still not very sure which one she's from. If she's from one that readily supports Shyn, then it is quite simple, though several things could be done with it. However, if she's from one that really prefers Phyn, it would be much more complicated. I've actually concidered taking her out of the story all together and replacing her with Zerix. Zerix would NOT be Shyn's wife though.*

The triplets were denied the right of a high High Name. They could only be given a name that would mean they'd serve me and my brothers in the after life. They're father didn't want them to have to serve the sons of the man he hated.

My brother rules from our capital city of Bor Yeth.

 

[NeoScribe]

Is Shyn aware of his wife's manipulations? If not, how do you know of them? Have you tried getting any of your brothers allies to defect (those triplets seem like easy targets) to your side? Where is Bor Yeth located? Has Seri ever attempted to control your mind? Has she ever succeeded? What does your wife look like?

*******

My brother is King Daniel II, named after our recently dead father.

All my life I fought, so I've developed a sense of pride in my skills and eagerly await any new challenge. Auhsed had said I was bloodthirsty but I vehemetly denied it and he got me angry enough to strike at him (yes, I do now realize the irony of actions?) until Lehen and Lord Jonas pulled us apart. Adapting to peace is a hard task.

No, I am not married.

I have dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. I dislike any formal wear of any kind so trousers, a blouse, a vest, and an overcoat are my freewear. I'm told I scowl a lot.

Lord Jonas was originally a pessimistic and weak man who was a total idiot and couldn't fight or sometimes even refused to fight when his life depended on it who always butted in on my business with Auhsed. That changed in the two years I was with him. He became a noble and determined man who still butted in on my business with Auhsed but was more forceful and serious. He is very skilled in diplomacy (which I taught him) and often gives me advice today. He can also beat me in one-on-one combat.
I do not know my wish.
Yes, traveling has been a good experience for me and I enjoy it a lot. It also gives me an excuse to meet with my old companions when on diplomatic missions to the NAF or Sennal-Tal.

Reading Question, *Cecilia is giving Pages an extremely annoyed look right now*

We keep track of birthdays but do not celebrate them. Until recently, a Midwen's first battle was the day we considered the most important for them.

No I do not speak High Tongue nor do I intend to. Though I've urged my brother to do so.

I'm a Midwen human.

 

[Pages]

*Okay, sorry that is has taken so long to post again. And I've actually changed everything in the story besides the quest for the throne, magical beings, and the name of the country. One of the many things I have been doing. Hope you don't mind to terribly. The story at the moment is just a bunch of scribblings. I might start a new character here later, but I don't have time right now, it's quite late here. I think I'll start the new guy/gal thursday or friday because it's right before Christmas vacation. (I'm so glad it has finally arived)*

+~+~+

Cecilia giving me an annoyed look? How am I supposed to know she's not dictating the writing and having someone read it to her? Hmmmm?

+~+~+

So, what's it like being a Midwen? Is it somehow related to Midwife? What does it mean? Do you ever take a bath? Can you smell? Are you color blind? Do you like pizza? Do you know what pizza is? What does Cecilia mean? Do you wish you were a male? Are there different acents in your world? What is your opinion of humans in general?

 

[NeoScribe]

I like being a Midwen. I - (Note: Cecilia is rambling on and on about how great her country is and I'll save you the boredom and just say that she'll say her country kicks butt and owned Unity in the war).

No relation to Midwife. Midwen was the first king of Midwen who fought for our freedom during the First Red War. Yes, I take bathes, I'm royalty. What's colorblind? Whats pizza?

My mother picked my name, an uncommon one but not unusual. Lord Jonas told me that my name meant 'Blind'. I can see perfectly well yet he found this extremely funny anyway.

I've never wished I was male except when my father used to send me one diplomatic missions he felt needed a womans touch. Just his excuse to get me out of the court.

Yes many accents. Dwarves say everything with an 'r' somehow stuck in there. the elves speak very primly and properly with an air of superiority. Kappa and naga hiss everything.

Humans are (Note: Cecilia is rambling again. I will cut it short before she notices and throws me out the window.)

 

[Pages]

Humans are what? Smelly? Ugly? Nice? Interesting? So your whole race is named after your first leader? What were they called before that? Colorblind is not able to see colors, and pizza is this really awsome combinaiton of bread crust, a red thing that's pasty called sauce, cheese, and any kind of other thing you want on it. very good with mushrooms, olives, and onions. Why did your father want you out of the court? Are there drugs where you live? What's the worst thing you've ever done? Do you dance? Has anyone ever asked you to marry them? Who's your father and mother? How many minutes are in an hour? Do you even use the system from earth to tell time?

 

[NeoScribe]

Humans are nice, and interesting. Lord Jonas and Lehen and Mililane would say otherwise, so would Auhsed and Sennal if they wre still alive come to that.

We were called slaves before we won our freedom. The Serrani kept us as workers in fields before we were able to break free of them and side with Shacry 300 years ago.

No I'm not colorblind. Now that you mention it though, I do recall Lord Jonas moping about not having pizza to eat, as well as hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, milk shakes, and soda. I have never tasted any of them.

My father prefered me out of the court because I was all to ready to use violence to prove my point.

Pipes of tobbacco are imported but they are expensive and I never use them.

The worst thing I ever did was allow myself to be fooled into blind loyalty to my father. The kingdom and the world almost lost everything because of that.

I despise dancing. No one but the bravest man would ask for my hand, and I would demand no less. So far no suitors. My parents were King Daniel I and Queen Jessica. 60 minutes are in an hour, Lord Jonas has infromed me that Gaea and his world are roughly the same in size and position to their suns.

 

[Pages]

Was your father the Emporer? What does your money look like? Do you like using big words? What is the literacy rate of Gaea? Or don't you know? What would you do if Lord Jonas turned into an Emporer type person? Do you think he ever will? What is the thing you want most in life? Do you have any hobbies? What's the most common last name on Gaea? Are there even last names? Am I spelling the name of your world right? Do you ever wish to just kill anything when you're mad? How often do you get angery? Are you easily angered? Do you ever feel you say to much? Or don't speak enough? If you were stranded on a desert island with nothing but a lizard and one piece of cany, what would you do?

 

[NeoScribe]

AH! To many questions, my head is spinning!

No, my father was not the Emperor, the Emperor was over 300 years old. But my father almost sold out to the Emperor to retain his own power. We stopped him.

Big words hurt my head. Don't know literecy rate. Lord Jonas has often stated his worst fear is turning into a tyrant so I doubt it would ever happen, in any case I don't like to deal in what ifs. I want my people to live in peace and prosper, that is all I want. Hobbies... gun polishing.

I do not know what a last name is. An d its not a wish, things drop dead when I'm mad. I am angry when I wake up, Angry at noon, angry after dinner, and angry going to bed, thats what Lady Sk - I mean, Hexra Star Goddess said. In between those times I am sulking, irritated, cold, fighting, or asleep.

I say what needs to be said, no more and no less whatever the others might think.

Eat the candy, kick the lizard and yell at the top of my lungs until someone saved me.

 

[Pages]

So there is candy on Gaea? What about cookies? Do you have cookies? I love cookies with raisins and oatmeal. What kind of fruit do you like? Do you have weeks? What are the names of the days in your weeks, and how long are your weeks?

+~+~+

My name is Zaph, I hate being underground, and I'm green.

 

[NeoScribe]

Hi Zaph! Why don't you like being underground? What shade of green? Are you a guy or a chick? Whats you last name - if you have one. Are you in a relationship?

*******

Candy in the sense of small sweet objects. Cookies are a new thing brought to us by Lord Jonas. Cheap jerk refuses to give us the recipe and we are relying entirely on Sennal-Tal for cookies. Fruit - I like oranges, 'cause they're hard to find.

Seven days a week, named like those of Lord Jonas world.

 

[Pages]

What is your favorite word? Why? What is your favorite day of the week? Why? Do you like snow? Do you have snow? Do you know what snow is? Do you like tea? Are there markets in the towns? If so, is there sales tax?

+~+~+

I'm not sure why I don't like being underground. It is very strange since I am a Troll, a Garden Troll, of the Loam family, of the Moist Loam family, of the Dark Moist Loam faimly to be exact. (We are only distantly related to all of those nasty big trolls who eat those dreadful humans who are always trying to catch us and put us in their gardens.)

I am a female, not a guy or chick. Trolls you know, don't have feathers. And what is a guy?

My last name won't be revealed to me until I reach full adulthood. I'm in the second of four stages at the age of 174. Some Garden Loam Trolls enter into relationships, but I've yet to meet the right male. I'm rather an outcast from other Garden Loam Trolls as I don't enjoy the dark.

I'm a very dark green color.

 

[NeoScribe]

A guy is slang for a dude. Why won't they reveal your last name yet? What do you do most often? Who are your parents? Are other trolls lighter since they spend time underground?

******

My favorite word is not allowed to be written, so is the reason - lets just say it starts with a 'd'. I don't have a favorite day, they're all the same to me. I hate snow. Its cold.

I don't like tea, its a drink for rich stuck-ups and merchants. Midwen is not big on large markets, most things are bought or traded from traveling caravans.
