Richard Mayhew, Neverwhere, sages_of_chaos
6. If your character knew he would die tomorrow, what would he do today?
I think, at this point in his life, that he'd try to accept it stoically. It would be difficult for him, but he'd try. Then he'd spend time with the people he cares about, and then, since he'd be going to die anyway, he might go face down the people who are trying to kill him.
He'd be really tempted to let the marquis drag him off to get a little box with an egg, though.
7. Who was your character's favorite teacher and why?
He seems the type to have endured school reluctantly. If he liked any of his teachers, he's not telling me. *shrugs*
8. Does your character tend to focus his efforts on one project at a time, or does he spread his efforts
across a variety of projects?
Focus efforts? Richard?
Actually, he can. He's putting a lot of effort into training at the moment. He is, however, usually rather vague, following others' leads and such. When he does get involved, though, he gives all he can. What he can give is sometimes not much, but he gives it all the same.
9. Does your character like to cook? If so, what does he like to cook and how good is he at it?
He is not very experienced at it, though he did make a steak-and-kidney pie recently with very little mishap. And it was edible! Yay!
10. If someone tried to blackmail your character, what would she do? How easy or difficult would it
be?
Well, using the time-bending nature of the game I am in, right now, the only thing possible is to threaten to tell Jessica about his relationship with the marquis. And, since in his view he's no longer with her, his main concern is seeing her or de Carabas hurt by the information. Well, she'd be hurt by the information. The marquis would in all likelihood be hurt by her.
11. If your character needed a security clearance for a job he wanted, would he be able to get one?
I can't imagine him ever needing a job again, so he wouldn't bother to try.
12. There's someone who hates your character, but your character doesn't realize it. Who is this
person and why does he hate your character so much?
• How would your character find out?
• What would he do about it?
I'm fairly certain he's aware of all the people who hate him. I can't imagine why anyone else would. Perhaps he inadvertantly snubbed someone at the last Market who now holds a grudge?
13. Someone is secretly in love with your character. Who is it and how does your character feel about
him?
The secret came out into the open recently. Mwhahaha.
14. Is your character at all spiritual or religious? If so, what religion or spiritual path does he follow?
How devout is she?
• Does she hate all members of any religion(s)?
• Is he tolerant of other religions? If so, how tolerant?
He was rather vaguely Christian, with a good helping of disbelief until recently, when he met an angel. However, it turned out to be one of the bad ones, so he's still not devout. He just knows it's all true. I don't think he really hates anyone, religious or no... except, of course, three beings who quite deserve his hate. He does seem to be tolerant of most people and things.
15. What hurt will your character never forgive? How old (and how minor or major) is this hurt? How
much does it affect his life?
I don't think he will ever be able to comepletely forgive Jessica for trying to rule his life. And, of course, there's no reason he should forgive Croup, Vandemar, and Islington for their parts in his life.
16. One of your character's parents said something to him that he'll never forget. What are the words
that will always echo in his ears?
In one of her more lucid moments in the hospital before she died, his mother told him she loved him, and he keeps that close.
17. What is your character's favorite color to wear? Is it the same as or different than her favorite
color?
He's informed me that his favorite color is green. He seems to like wearing neutral colors.
18. Open up your character's kitchen cupboards. What do you see?
At the moment he's staying at someone else's house, and I'm sure the kitchen is very well stocked.
19. What does a typical grocery list look like for your character?
Easy-to-fix things. Take-away curry.
I think, at this point in his life, that he'd try to accept it stoically. It would be difficult for him, but he'd try. Then he'd spend time with the people he cares about, and then, since he'd be going to die anyway, he might go face down the people who are trying to kill him.
