He's seen too much unnecessary death -- in his mind, heroes should be able to find a better way to deal with trouble than execution.

	'''What is your character's living quarters like?''' - ''Comfortable yet boring. Gabe does not entertain much... at all. Plain furniture, little in the way of decorations, and a dining table barely big enough for two. It's not that he's a boring guy, so much as he's just never home that often and even when he is, he's usually working or sleeping.''<br>		'''What is your character's living quarters like?''' - ''Comfortable yet boring.

	'''What are your characters favorite foods and/or treats?''' - ''Though he has never been able to find them anywhere else in the States, Gabe's mother made wonderful pupusas and they are definitely his comfort food. He has not had them in about fifteen years, though, so if he ever manages to have some again, he will probably be as giddy as a kid. Other than that, he has developed a fondness for coffee that runs beyond the caffeine. He's a bit of a coffee snob, though he tries not to make it obvious.''

	===Liz===		===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.''

What do you DO there?"''<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.''

	'''If your character was another Exaltation... What would they be?''' - ''John would probably be a Sidereal serving the Maiden of Secrets. The desire for order; the ability to live half a dozen lives, each one a facet of the whole but never intersecting with any other; the power hidden in bureaucratic softness; all of it suggests that he would be a damn fine servant of Jupiter. But he's an Eclipse, so it'll be time to put those viziers to work for him at some point in the distant future, he supposes. If he knew about them, anyway.''<br>		'''If your character was another Exaltation... What would they be?''' - ''John would probably be a Sidereal serving the Maiden of Secrets.

	'''Can your character cook? What can they cook?''' - ''John actually can cook rather well -- not on the level of a professional, but he can generally not flambe most dishes. His specialties are American and Italian cuisine, but he's willing to experiment with the dishes of other cultures, too.''<br>		'''Can your character cook?

	'''What is your character's favorite book?''' - ''John ~~actually~~ likes The Count of Monte Cristo a great deal, and has a beat-up copy of the unabridged version that he keeps with him (even now, on the run). I mean, it's the ultimate tale of calculating, methodical revenge, balanced with a great deal of hope for the future. Somehow, John can identify with that a great deal, some days.''

	<br>'''Name a hobby or interest that your character has that hasn't been previously mentioned.''' - ''John actually joined his school band way back in elementary school, and kept going for several years. Though he doesn't play or practice with any sort of regularity these days, he's still a half-decent clarinetist, especially with jazz music.''		<br>'''Name a hobby or interest that your character has that hasn't been previously mentioned.''' - ''John actually joined his school band way back in elementary school, and kept going for several years.

The sheer over-the-top nature of everything in the movie just makes him quietly crack up. If he's channel-surfing and comes across it at random, he'll generally sit and watch it all the way through, if he can.''
	<br>'''What sort of music does your character like?''' - ''He ~~listens~~ to most types of music without complaint, ~~usually. Jazz~~ is his favorite~~, though~~ (~~but~~ not that so-called "smooth jazz" elevator music crap!). On the other hand, John can't stand most country music -- he claims that if you've heard one song about how you know Jesus loves you because you've got a pickup truck, it's enough to write off the genre as a whole.''		<br>'''What sort of music does your character like?''' - ''He'll listen to most types of music without complaint, but jazz is his favorite (just not that so-called "smooth jazz" elevator music crap!).

			<br>'''If your character hadn't Exalted, what supernatural denizen of the World of Darkness would they most likely be?''' - ''John would be a vampire (either Lasombra or Ventrue), but thematically? Absolom had a point, and John would probably be a Devil of the Reconciler faction....no, seriously! He's got his code of conduct, and part of that is "Protect those under you". I figure Fallen-John would focus on protecting those he had pacts with, and trying to make the world a decent place for them/finish what the rebellious angels started way back when. So....Reconciler. Really.''
			<br>'''What would be the stupidest thing you ever ate?''' - ''Food he genuinely regrets eating? There were a couple of restaurants where he had "business meetings"; good for privacy and because his associates owned them, but John really wished they'd have sprung for a chef who knew understood that there's more ways to cook a steak other than "food-poisoning raw" and "charcoal briquette".''
			<br>'''What is your greatest weakness?''' - ''John would never reveal such a thing on a public Internet forum. Which I suppose might be his biggest weakness, in a way -- he won't trust anyone until they've proven their trustworthiness. And even then, he'd never tell even his trusted friends everything.''

Which was a little weird already, since there'd been no known ruins from Roman times there.

			<br>'''Favorite movie, and why?''' - ''Though John will likely refuse to admit it? The Blues Brothers. The sheer over-the-top nature of everything in the movie just makes him quietly crack up.''
			<br>'''What sort of music does your character like?''' - ''He listens to most types of music without complaint, usually. Jazz is his favorite, though (but not that so-called "smooth jazz" elevator music crap!). On the other hand, John can't stand most country music -- he claims that if you've heard one song about how you know Jesus loves you because you've got a pickup truck, it's enough to write off the genre as a whole.''

	'''What is your most treasured memory?''' - ''John has no desire to reveal that to anyone, even these new companions. Not after less than 24 hours, at least. Maybe far down the road, he'll trust them enough to share those memories, but not just yet.''<br>		'''What is your most treasured memory?''' - ''John has no desire to reveal that to anyone, even these new companions.

	'''What is the sort of social situation that your character must be dragged into?''' - ''John is capable of handling any real social situation (it's what the character was built for, after all), but probably would be least comfortable in any situation beyond the superficial. He's used to hiding his emotions and putting up whatever sort of front is required, but expressing his genuine emotions goes against everything he's trained to do.''

	'''How does your Exaltation fit into your worldview as more or less rational human being, formerly belonging to a world without magic?''' - ''"There are far, far more things on heaven and earth then are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio." John knows that there are people who are convinced, absolutely positive that the Mafia is a myth. And few enough people have the in-depth organization of the mob as part of their worldview. This?

The desire for order; the ability to live half a dozen lives, each one a facet of the whole but never intersecting with any other; the power hidden in bureaucratic softness; all of it suggests that he would be a damn fine servant of Jupiter. But he's an Eclipse, so it'll be time to put those viziers to work for him at some point in the distant future, he supposes. If he knew about them, anyway.''<br>
