Part 1
I'm going to include past characters that have really stuck with me, just because, well, I'm bored and I like to dip into nostalgia for a bit.
1. The Happiest?
Christopher, probably, because when I left off playing him he was madly in love with someone who returned the feelings, and was thinking about marriage. I tend to assume past that point a more or less happy ending occured.
2. The most Depressed and unhappy with life?
Anne. When last I left her off she still suffered from the mutant curse where everyone who saw her and looked away for more than 10 seconds forgot her (unless they had psi-shields). She sought all kinds of treatments, had a mutant control collar for a short time, and finally went wrapped from head to toe in clothes so no skin was possibly showing (since that was a way around it), but never got over the main problem. So, still unhappy, even though I don't play her anymore.
3. Easily Gets angry?
Scuzz definately, Patchwork too.
4. Would rather be alone most of the time?
Patchwork most likely, with Anne having bouts of it.
5. Annoying as hell?
Scuzz, most likely.
6. Just a complete asshole?
Scuzz.
7. Would jump in front of a Bullet to save their Friends?
Hrm... most of my good characters would. Anne would if it was someone who remembered her. Chris would, although partly under the theory that there's a chance he'd survive his body's death. Kirk probably would, but he'd more likely send an avatar to intercept it. Scuzz _probably_ wouldn't, though he'd beat to death whoever fired the bullet. Patchwork... ehh, as a matter of pure logic he might, because he heals and the other person might not, but he doesn't care about anyone that much so probably wouldn't.
8. Shy and not very talkative?
Most of my characters are like that. Chris especially.
9. Full of themselves?
Scuzz.
10. Always ready for fight?
Scuzz and Patchwork.
11. Would find the best way to avoid a fight?
Chris. Most of my good characters would, but Chris has the special reason; his powers make him completely ignorable in a fight if someone realized he was a ghost.
12. Needs Company 24/7?
I don't think any of them _need_ company. Anne would most appreciate it.
13. Loves the sound of their own voice?
Don't know any of them do. If you count NPCs, Magneto.
14. Tries to be the leader of the pack?
Scuzz.
15. Wants revenge?
Scuzz, Patchwork
Part 2
1. Who is your Main Character?
I don't consider any of my characters 'main'. Different ones rise to the forefront of my mind at different times, right at the moment it's probably Scuzz, but I'm going to cheat and just answer the questions for all of them.
2. Who are He/She's best friend/s?
Kirk: Nat, Solange, Dave (although he's been absent
a lot), although Paige seems nice he hasn't had a chance to develop a friendship really.
Scuzz: Frankie, sadly enough. Probably Arcadia too, but she LEFT. :P. ;)
Patchwork: None. He hates Jane and Marrow less than everyone else, though.
Christopher: Probably Marie, he never made too close friends with anyone, though he has a number of casual-friends.
Anne: Hrm... I can't remember who it was. Probably Tomas.
3. Does He/She have a GF/BF/Married?
Christopher: Yeah, serious girlfriend.
Kirk: Ehh, sorta was supposed to be dating Kitty, but we haven't RPed in like a year or two so I just tend to gloss over that part of his life since I have no idea what's going on.
Scuzz: Not really, not very possible unless the person was invulnerable (and not Rogue). Frankie's the closest to it, though.
Patchwork: No, but he believes he got Britney Spears pregnant.
Anne: No. At one time she was interested in Tomas, mainly because he was the only option who remembered her, but he was crazy in love with Selene.
4. Does He/She have a rival? If so are they a friendly rival and do they hate each other with a passion?
Kirk: Don't think he really has a rival.
Scuzz: Yeah, sorta, Jono. And I think they pretty well hate each other. It's quite fun, really, though, since a) Jono's all in the wrong about it! ;) (Scuzz was insulting, but mostly it's all Jono's fault!), and b) If they could get over their differences they probably could get along fairly well.
Patchwork: Only the evil Dick Cheney.
Christopher: Not a full rival, but for a while he had trouble with Kyle/Wildchild at the school because he was hassling Chris' young friend Kinkajou. He had to face him down once or twice.
Oh, and of course, there was Manuel, who they didn't interact with much directly, but was a big factor in Marie's life.
Anne: Nope.
5. Does your main char represent the r/l you?
All of them have some element of me in them, with the exception perhaps of Patchwork. Christopher is the closest match, mainly I set out to create him as an idealized version of me. He's also my favorite of all-time. Kirk's second closest.
6. What character are you really proud you created?
Hrm... I'm sorta proud of all of the ones I created, but mainly Anne, I think.
7. Do you think about your chars alot?
Yep.
8. Do you ever wish you could meet your chars in r/l?
Meet? Not really. Oh, sure it'd be kinda cool for some of them (excluding Patchwork)), but I don't really _wish_ it. Now, do I wish I could _be_ my charas in R/L... for many of them, yeah.
9. Do you remember the moment you created your first Char?
Well, including RPGs in general, that goes back to like before kindergarten, so no. I remember creating most of my characters (Scuzz I didn't create, but I remember apping him), but not the exact moment, and for most of them I remember writing the apps.
10. Is Originality important to you when creating a Character?
I'll steal good ideas. I try to put a twist on them, but a lot of my character power concepts were stolen. Kirk's power is modified from Antibody from DP7 (the same comic Scuzz is from), Christopher's power is very close to that of a character in Psi-Force.
11. Do you ever look at somebody's character and wish it was yours?
Not really, although I have seen some really cool power concepts that I wish I came up with.
12. Can you see yourself keeping this up in the future?
Yes. Though, with my track record lately, I also see myself drifting away eventually. Maybe not for certain, but it's a possibility.
