3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
I was born in Sovine, and still live in Sovine. Though I'm actually a country boy, haha; I was born outside the capital. And yes, I'm very patriotic!
4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Both my parents were very rural. You know, farming, ranching a little, very grounded people.
5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
I have an older brother and a younger sister. Erik's sorta quiet - okay, he is quiet. Deathly quiet. Painfully quiet. He's really shy, too. It's hilarious to see him interact with any strangers or girls... XD But he's great. Ora's a sweet little girl, too. She's really friendly and the cutest little thing. >u<

I'm a Tego now. :D

9. What is your race?
Sovinian for generations. :P
10. To which social class do you belong?
Uh, countryfolk? Does that count? Or now I guess I'm a military man, haha. I have no idea really.
11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
Er... *blush* I guess so? I mean, I don't think I'm unattractive... o_O;; I have no idea what others think. I'll ask Sara Grace or Leno--okay, actually, no, I won't ask Lenore. >>;;;
12. What is your style of dress?
Well, now it's military gear... In my downtime, though, Lenore can't get me out of sweatpants.
13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
Yes to the first, no to the second, no to the third, and I don't know, maybe? I've noticed that most urban kids in my graduating class have dark hair and eyes. ._.
14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Nope! I'm healthy as a horse. ;P
15. Are you right- or left-handed?
Right-handed, but I can use most weapons with both hands. :3
16. What does your voice sound like?
Er, I'm a little more softspoken than, say, Nathan or Jack. (or even Maria.) Or I guess my voice isn't as deep and intimidating as them. -_-; Then again, Nathan's is steadily going hoarse because of his smoking... XD
17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
I'm not sure. I don't usually think about such things?
18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
I've gotten this bad (and annoying >A>) habit of clicking the lighter Nathan gave me, so there's that, OH AND I'M THE ONLY ONE IN MY CLASS NOT TO SPECIALIZE. :D :D :D I say that counts as every quirk ever.

22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
"What if--*insert terrible scenario here*"
CHILDHOOD
23. What is your earliest memory?
Fighting over one of the cats with Erik. I wanted to give it a bath, and Erik told me it wouldn't be a very good idea. Well, somehow I won the argument... and it turned out not to be a very good idea. (I listened to him more after that.)
24. How much schooling have you had? Did you enjoy it?
I didn't go to a whole lot of schooling, just because I lived pretty far out in the countryside. Then I joined the military and had Tego training for a very short six years. That was... interesting.
25. Where did you learn most of your knowledge and skill?
Mm, it's about half and half.
26. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Hard work. Lots and lots of hard work. ._. But it was pretty fun.
27. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Just like Erik, haha. Then I somehow got it into my head to go off to the city and join the military. I can't even remember how that seed got planted... ._.
28. When and with whom was your first kiss?
This neighbor girl who lived a couple miles down the road from us. .w. I had the hugest crush on her for most of my childhood... It happened when I was what, let's see... nine? Maybe?
29. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Nope, I'm not, and let's just say it will be an experience I never forget. :D;;; NEXT QUESTION NOW (dear god Lenore never ask me this) [word of god: that 'whoring around' nathan and his friends did? about that... let's just say they dragged the then-country-boy out with them.]
30. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? Does that affect you?
Nope. .w. [this is such a stupid question]
INFLUENCES

Um, probably getting paired up with Lenore? I feel as if I should say something grander...
32. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Er, wasn't this just asked?
33. What is your greatest regret?
I sort of tripped over the finish line with the training, haha... If Nathan and Zeren hadn't stopped and helped me study for those last few tests, I'm not sure I would've passed. I sorta regret falling behind so bad and for getting into that situation in the first place...
34. What is the most embarrassing or shameful thing ever to happen to you?
Um... I don't care to share that. >>;;;
35. Do you have any secrets? If so, what are they?
Yup. I have many secrets. Doesn't mean I'm sharing. XP
36. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
There was this time when we stole the girls' clothes when they went swimming on a school trip... :'D I'm not sure it qualifies as 'evil', though they sure as hell thought so.

Getting on that bus and heading to the city for the first time alone... It was terrifying. I was a kid, so sue me.

No, no I haven't. [like nate & sonya, he'll travel more later on]
BELIEFS

Pessimistic... >>
41. Do you believe in a god? If so, which one and why?

43. What is your greatest fear?
Being too weak, not being able to save someone.
44. What makes you angry? Sad? Happy? Why?
I'm not so sure I have an 'angry' side. More panicked, probably. As for sad... Well, you know, the obvious things: death, leaving people, having people leave you... whenever Lenore is mean to me... ;m; Lots of things make me happy. Being with my friends, winning a fight against Nathan, Nathan not smoking, Lenore not calling me annoying... .w.
45. Do you think people are basically good or basically evil?
Um, yes. I do. ._. Is that bad?
46. What are your views on politics?
Uh, I plead the fifth? I'm just a simple country boy...

54. How much do you respect the beliefs and opinions of others?
I try to. (sometimes, though, if they're an idiot...)
55. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
Honest when it gets me what I want. I can be a little manipulative when I need to be, though. |D
56. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Eh. I used to think city folk were jerks and stuff, but living there for the past six years changed my mind on a lot of things.

Extroverted, though it doesn't mean I'm all that outgoing.

96. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Five years, still working. Probably still working in ten, too. I'm not sure when I want to retire, so maybe even still working in twenty. Could you imagine? A Tego with a twenty-year-long career. ovo
