1. My favorite thing about that character. He's not a coward, he's just really bad at just about everything. I like that he tries a least.
2. My least favorite thing about that character. He's so weak. He only stands up when it suits him best, and then usually it's too late.
3. One person I would ship them with. Dove probably. He gets along with her, and she seems to be able to stand him. It might just be her though.
4. Their ship from hell. Regan. She'd just stamp him out I think.
5. Their song. Regina Spektor - Man of a Thousand Faces, on good authority.
6. The title of their biography or autobiography. Max: How to not have a relationship
7. The last bad dream they had. Waking up tied to a chair in a dark, featureless room.
8. The top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately.
a. A cold and wet rainy day, and being comfortable inside. b. The feeling of having to look over your shoulder every time you walk down the street. c.

1. My favorite thing about that character. That without meaning to I created something that's really bittersweet, but totally insane.
2. My least favorite thing about that character. He's really hard to keep in character. Imagining someone who's there but isn't for someone who isn't real is pretty hard.
3. One person I would ship them with. I think this is a hard question for Brennan. He tries to be an everyman, in that he could be friends with almost anyone, and in doing so it's hard to imagine him with anyone in particular. I think he would do well with Jean, just because he has no urge to control or change anyone, and is happy to listen, which (to me at least) Jean would really appreciate (she seems to have so much bad shit happen to her!). Also, as a self indulgent side note, because Jean got really sad for him when she met him, so it'd be nice to give her closure by her making him feel better.

1. My favorite thing about that character. Nothing actually! Riley shits me up the wall. Well if there has to be something, it would be his almost inevitable future as a crazy paranoid caravan dweller out in the bush somewhere, afraid of the world.
2. My least favorite thing about that character. Almost everything. He's a chore. If he was my step child, I would beat him.
3. One person I would ship them with. Fiona, because eventually she'd beat the crap attitude out of him. Or, you know, kill him.
4. Their ship from hell. Anyone who is mentally weak, because then it'd just be a self depreciating cycle of horror.
5. Their song. I'll get back to you in this one.
6. The title of their biography or autobiography. How I Alienated Every Person Who Cared About Me, The Riley Story.
7. The last bad dream they had. Riley doesn't really dream. I don't think he can. His mind is a mess, and although he tries really hard to be creative / athletic / anything, it fails. I

1. My favorite thing about that character. He can and will say anything he thinks is right, but never stops anyone from doing the same back to him. He really appreciates honesty in interaction.
2. My least favorite thing about that character. The same thing I like about him actually. It makes situations hard sometimes, because every fiber of my being is saying "Xiu! No!" and Xiu is all "I'll say what I think is right, and expect the same back! Shutup!". And then bad things happen.
3. One person I would ship them with. Natsuko. He doesn't want to run anyones life, and appreciates peoples reasons as long as they stand by them. All he wants is someone who is prepared to work hard and actually get things done. Oddly enough, she is the perfect person to fit that mould.
4. Their ship from hell. No one in existence as of yet I don't think. As I've said, he likes to value people for who they are, strength or weakness, as long as it's justified. No one is so terribly shit that he couldn't handle them as of yet

1. My favorite thing about that character. Oh man! Where to begin! Jorhmun is like my "kid in a candy store" character. He gets to do all the cool things, and fuck anyone who says anything otherwise. Doesn't give up, unless the work is too hard or doesn't pay enough. He's just the gritty realist we all wish we could be.
2. My least favorite thing about that character. Unfortunately, gritty realism also means "no friends" even in a make believe world. The guy does not play well with others. Unless he's sleeping with them.
3. One person I would ship them with. Valkyrie! She's perfect for him. The only one who could be! She follows him around like a lost puppy, and kills whatever he points her at. He kind of sees her as another weapon in his arsenal, but one with extra perks.
4. Their ship from hell. Anyone who wants to tie him down.
5. Their song. Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica. It's about a guy who takes what he wants, and damned be the consequences.
6. The title of their biography or autobiography. Fuck Everyone. I Need A
