==DOZEN QUESTIONS FOR YOU ANSWERED==

1.What is your status with your parents? Do youuu miss youurr mom & daaad? Do you haaave one of each? Are they abovve GROund? (+5 attribute points to whomever guess where thats from)<br>

Parents are alive and well.  Got a mom and a dad and they’re both together.  Of course I miss them. And they’re definitely above ground.  WAAAAAY above ground.  Was that a reference to the original Night of the Living Dead?<br>

2.How many brothers and sisters do you have? Do you get along? Are you a 3rd child?<br>

No, I’m the first child. Got a brother and a sister, both younger than me.<br>  

3.Tight family or dispersed? Communicative or leave each other alone?<br>

We didn’t see each other every day but we stayed in touch regularly.  Talked on comms, followed each other on social media, get together in person every so often.  Of course, all of that became a lot more difficult for me after the war started and I joined the FDF.  Hard to call or post on social media when your ship needs to maintain radio silence on a regular basis.<br>

And now my current circumstances make it really tough.<br>

4.How was your childhood? Was it tough? Did some of your siblings die? Were you a happy kid?<br>

Had a great childhood.  As you could tell from my module number, my background was fairly prosperous.  Not tough at all.  Siblings die?  Where do you think I’m from, Outcast Station?  Yes, I’d say I was a happy kid.<br>

5.What are your favorite foods? What is your favorite candy? Is it nerds? What is your favorite entree, hamburger and fries? Do you like chocolate ice cream? What about rhubarb?,<br>

Hamburgers and fries are awesome. Real burgers, that is.  Impossible Burgers are all right but you can’t beat real vat-cloned beef.  Yeah, it costs twice as much than the plant-based version but it’s more than worth the price. As for favorite candy, chocolate of course.  Pricey too because cultivating cocoa cells in a lab is expensive but good.  It’s a great ice cream flavor too.<br>


6.What was your romantic life like? Did you have a girlfriend when you were little? Maybe you got a wife now and you're paying bills adventuring,<br>

Had a girlfriend in high school.  Dated a bunch while in college.  Nothing that ever got too serious.  Joining the military put a crimp in my love life.  Anti-fraternization rules and all that means I can only see someone while docked somewhere.  Relationships while in the military during the middle of a war are hard.<br>

7.Do you have any enemies? Anybody or groups that you hate? What would you do if you found yourself in power over them?,<br>

Yeah, the Arkhons, duh!  Those bastards are currently the enemy of all of transhumanity.  They’re bad enough they got all of orbital nations to put their differences aside and work together against them.  Getting everyone to bury the hatchet and unite against a common foe is the one good thing they did.<br>

If I had power over all of them?  I’d force them to disarm and surrender all of their technology to us.  Wouldn’t kill them all, I’m not a monster.  But I’d definitely make sure they’re never in a position to be a threat to us again.  Oh, and I’d make them free their Fallam slaves.  Poor bastards.  I met a few who were secretly rebels while on missions.  They definitely got a raw deal.<br>

8.What hobbies do you have? Big into repairing Electronics? Maybe you are a bowler? Maybe collecting comic books gets your goat.<br>

Definitely comic books, especially Pre-Flash books.  I’ve actually got a few printed books passed down through the family.  I love all Pre-Flash media.  I’m also big into video games, both Pre and Post-Flash.  And I’ve done a little writing.  Some fanfiction, some original.  I want to be a journalist but I can see myself writing books on the side.  Oooh, or maybe if I learn how to draw, I could have my own comic.<br>  

9.Pets ? Do you like animals? Is the tiger your favorite animal?<br>

Has a cat growing up, cloned from cells from one of the few pets that were originally on the station Pre-Flash.  It was nice.  Maybe I’ll get another if I ever, no I when I ever get back to Freedom.<br>

10.What about drugs and booze? Are you hitting on the joint being passed around at the party? Maybe it's a little more serious and you're spending the rent money to get some meth. It's a problem even if it's not yours. Like maybe your business partner passes out on the floor of your shop from heroin?<br>

I never drink alone.  Only at parties and events.  Same goes for the bud.  Never taken anything harder.  Not going to begrudge others doing so but it’s not my bag.<br>  

11.Are you afraid of heights? What are you afraid of? How about snakes are you afraid of snakes? Would you go to Mexico with all the "GOT DAMNED VAMPIRES"? Have you met a vampire? Or just a really scary cyborg?<br>

Heights?  Nah, I grew up in orbit.  Can’t get higher than that.  Plus, thanks to one of my mutant powers I can fall from any height and be unharmed.  Heights don’t worry me at all.  Snakes?  I’ve only seen a snake once.  Someone’s pet.  It was all right but I’d rather have a cat.  Vampires!  You mean vampires are a real thing down here?  Yeah, I’ll definitely do my best to steer clear of them.  Cyborgs, on the other hand, don’t worry me.  Fought alongside some cool ones during the war.<br>

12. What are your goals, what are you hoping for?<br>

I want to get off this rock.  Considering my current circumstances, that’a a long term goal.  Eventually Freedom Station, or more likely the Loonies, will figure out the Arkhon’s contra-gravity drive but they definitely won’t risk opening a safe window in the Earth Containment Satellite Network to get me until the war is over.  Barring that, I’m on my own as far as finding a way home.

Until I can return my goal is to learn as much as I can about Earth and the civilizations currently on it as I can.  What little information the orbital communities have about the surface comes from intercepted signals and observations from orbit.  I’ve got an unprecedented opportunity to gather useful intelligence for space based transhumanity.  

On a more personal note, I have a chance to be a tourist to places I’ve only seen in videos and VR simulations.  I’m going to make the most of it.  And maybe snag a few comics and other Pre-Flash souvenirs to bring back with me.
