Editing Interview Sessions (section)

===Liz===
'''What is your character's take on the supernatural and how does it affect them?''' - ''Liz take on the supernatural is mostly an amalgam of every fantasy movie she's seen, every book she's read and the few things she knows from observation. There's herself with superpowers of some sort, there are the others like her, there are apparently also vampires and robots as well as, from what she saw during her Exaltation, sorcerers of some sort. Nothing of it really makes sense, many of her assumptions are wrong, but she's learning.''
<br>''Because that's how the revelation has affected her. She has seen behind the facade, seen that what she thought she knew about the world was a lie, that horrible things move in the darkness and dangerous magic is at work everywhere. Now she HAS to know the hidden truth of it, find out how this new world works and what her place is within it. Because she won't allow any vampire, warlock or other monster to gain any sort of power over her and her part of the world, nor let them keep their power over others.''<br>
'''Favorite movie, and why?''' - ''Liz' favourite movie is (as I've discovered) The Matrix. Not so much as a 'what if?' scenario or for the crazy action (though that's nice too), but as a metaphor for everything that's wrong with the world - control, systems enforced through greater firepower and brainwashing, needless suffering. But also those few, who break free although it costs them and aim to free others.''<br>''After her Exaltation the whole metaphor thing has become a little muddled as there are now literally different worlds, one just facade, the other horrific but true, and superpowers and, apparently, robot men in black. It's still a good movie, though.''<br>
'''What sort of music does your character like?''' - ''Liz' taste in music is quite eclectic. Usually she'll become fascinated with one type of music, be it emo metal, the current pop charts or baroque string music, for a week or two, then move on to another. If asked to point out her very favourite, she'd probably point to a playlist where she gathers those pieces of music that she likes most and are spared the monthly or weekly deletion spree when Liz finds a new fascination.''<br>
'''What is your favorite holiday, and why?''' - ''Easter! It's in spring, so the weather will usually be good. It's a family holiday, but not as forced as Christmas where absolutely every relative, no matter how unknown or obnoxious needs to be called, talked to or even visited. And even going to church can be fun once a year, if they have big fires, lots of candles and incense, gregorian chants and everything.''<br>
'''What is your greatest weakness?''' - ''Liz might be good at many things, but patience is not among them. She needs to DO something. Training is about the only thing she can be patient with, since it's so important to her and not as boring as so many other things that need patience. She also is quite impulsive and often doesn't think through what she's doing.''<br>
'''If your character was another Exaltation... What would they be?''' - ''Liz would absolutely be a Fire Aspect. Her personality, beliefs, powers, theme, it all fits. So, if she wasn't a Night Caste, that's what she'd be.''<br>
'''Whats your favourite book, fiction and nonfiction?''' - ''Her favourite book is a collection of short stories about daily life in the Middle Ages written by a historian. It's what prompted her to settle on history as a subject when her parents implored her to 'study something serious as well'.''<br>
'''Can your character cook? What can they cook? ''' - ''Cooking isn't really Liz's thing. Mostly she keeps to simple stuff like noodles of different kinds or putting a frozen pizza into the oven. With salads however she is quite good and she experiments a lot.''<br>
'''If your character had a different day job (or a regular day job, period, for some of us...), what would they be stuck doing?''' - ''I could see her working as a waitress though she'd probably quit or be fired with some regularity, her temper being somewhat volatile ... On one occasion she helped out as a replacement instructor at local dojo when one of the teachers fell ill for a few weeks. If she could get a job like that she'd probably like it a lot better.''
<br>'''What is your darkest moment, the time when you felt all was indeed lost.''' - ''When Elizabeth was 15 her sister Julia had a car accident and for a time it looked as if her injuries were too severe to survive. In the end she pulled through, but those hours waiting in a hospital hallway while her sister was in surgery, hoping and praying for a miracle, were the worst Liz has had to live through.''<br>
'''Is there anything that your character runs away from? Can be a phobia, something they find gross, or a situation they can't stand...''' - ''Bees. Wasps. Other things that fly and buzz and sting. Argh! Liz hates those. And after so many deaths on their side - rolled up newspapers, shoes, whatever's within reach - it seems the feeling is mutual.''<br>
'''What is the weirdest thing you ever saw before your Exaltation?''' - ''Liz once went on tour with an Urban Exploration group she knew through a friend of hers. In an earlier exploration they had found catacombs beneath the city - catacombs in the original sense of the word, i.e. an underground ossuary. Which was a little weird already, since there'd been no known ruins from Roman times there. But what really creeped her out apart from the strange decorations was, that apparently the date of the newest set of buried bones inscribed in neat bronze letters was only two years ago...''<br>
'''What was your worst subject in school? ''' - ''Embarassingly perhaps it was Art for Liz. She just never had the patience to sit down for hours and hours to draw/paint/cut out whatever inane thing her teachers had thought of.''<br>
'''What's your favorite attraction in a theme park?''' - ''"I've actually never been to a theme park, so I'm not sure what I'd enjoy. What do you DO there?"''<br>
'''If your character hadn't Exalted, what supernatural denizen of the World of Darkness would they most likely be?''' - ''Since it's a template that can be forcibly inflicted Liz might have become a vampire - for a very short time, since her temperament would probably lead to quickly being terminated for rocking the boat.  More in line with her character would be a Mage, on the side of the Traditions. Akashic Brotherhood maybe, though I'm not sure she'd fit in. At the very least it would make for a pretty weird (if fun!) take on her character.''
