Back at it again at krispy--*clears throat* ANOTHER CHARACTER TAG/INTERVIEW YAYYYY

Aight in the lineup today, as promised, Andarin, with the addition of Karayn, Iphnis, and Roric. Let's give 'em a big welcome.

What's your philosophy on life?

Andarin, we'll start with you

Andarin: Uh, well, I don't usually think about stuff like this, I just try to live in the moment.

Roric: There's your answer

Andarin: Oh, haha, that does work

Very nice, Roric since you spoke up, what about you?

Roric: Survive.

That's very... simplistic of you. Is that it?

Roric: ...Take care of the people who take care of you

Karayan: Lame

Roric: I'll ram your words right back down your th--

Iphnis, loudly: One of my philosophies is to not let your friends kill each other

Nice. Karayan?

Karayan: You can't expect me to narrow down my whole life into one philosophy, do you?

I can and I will (it is kinda hard tho)

Karayan: Whatever. Always watch your back

Ah, classic. Next question

What's one thing you'd like to change about yourself?

Any takers?

Andarin: I wish I could be more... responsible. We'll go with that

Fair enough

Karayan: I wish I could play an instrument besides the harmonica

Iphnis: No way, me too. But since you already took that one I'll say that I'd like to less of an idiot

Roric: At least you're self aware

Iphnis: Gee thanks, buddy

Roric: Anytime

Roric, what would you like to change about yourself?

Roric: Nothing

Karayan: Oh, so you think you're perfect?

Roric: No I'm just not about to expound on my weaknesses in front of a bunch of people

Also fair enough

Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?

Roric: Introvert

Karayan: I can't figure it out

Andarin: Extrovert

Iphnis: I.... had it figured out once......... but that was when i was like fifteen............

Roric: Aren't you like fifteen right now?

Iphnis: I am NOT fifteen I am over sixty years old!

Roric: I mean like in human years

Iphnis: Not even close!! I am fully mature and capable and definitely not fifteen!!

Karayan: Soo you're like sixteen?

Iphnis: (ง'̀-'́)ง I am like eighteen in human years thankyouverymuch (ง'̀-'́)ง

Andarin: Yeah guys, he just admitted to being kinda an idiot, which takes some measure of maturity.

Iphnis: *facepalm*

Hehe, anywho

Which parent are you closer to and why?

Andarin: Uh, probably my dad. We do a lot of fun stuff together and he's taught me a lot

Roric: Both my parents suck but I have to say my mom by reason of I've never met my real dad

Karayan: That's rough, buddy. I was pretty close to both my parents, maybe I would have said my dad, but my mom lived longer, so maybe I'm closer to her. No, we drifted apart in her last years, I'm still closer to dad.

...Are you done?

Karayan: Yeah :]

Ookay.. Iphnis?

Iphnis: Does the tree that you would climb and sit under all the time as a child count as a parent? I think that it should

.....Sure

What makes you feel accomplished?

Karayan: A hot bath and cold drink. That's what I would do when I accomplished something so now when I have a hot bath and a cold drink I automatically feel accomplished.

Nice, I guess I'll have to make some spoof of Pavlov in the fantasy world.

Karayan: What if... I'm the Pavlov...

You really don't fit the psychologist researcher type

Karaya: I guess it's better that way

Andarin: I always feel pretty good about myself when I hit a streak of targets in archery practice, or make everyone laugh with a joke

Roric: I feel accomplished after a good punch.

Karayan: One that you delivered or one that you received

Roric: Delivered. Especially to people like you...

Alright, Iphnis how about you?

Iphnis: I'm pretty okay with just drifting through life. I don't need anything big to spur me on

There must be something

Iphnis: Okay, okay, I feel accomplished when I gain an animal's trust. They're the best judges of character

Who's the one person you can talk to about anything?

Iphnis: The tree I used to climb all the time when I was a kid

Karayan: My girlfriend

Roric: Myself

Andarin: My best friends

That's more than one

Andarin: I can't just pick one single best friend, now, can I?

Have you ever lost someone close to you?

Andarin: My older brother

Roric: You can't loose someone close to you if you never let them get close to you

Andarin: dude...

Karayan: All three of my parents

Andarin: ... Three?

Karayan: Step-dad.

Andarin: Ah

Iphnis: The first two orphaned baby birds I took care of died

Sorry y'all

If you're in a bad mood do you prefer to be left alone, or have someone cheer you up?

Roric: Alone

Andarin: I need people

Karayan: It depends. If it's a murderous rage, I like to have some time to myself to vent and sort it out, but if I'm in a normal bad mood, people generally distract me from it

Andarin: ... Dude....

Iphnis: If I'm in a bad mood around other people they just get confused because I'm usually such a cheerful person, which just makes it worse, or they get patronizing which makes it double worse. So yeah, alone

Do you judge a book by it's cover?

Karayan: Isn't that what the cover's for?

Roric: He's got a point

Andarin: Guys, people like you are the reason the quote became a thing in the first place. The cover only shows one side of the story, and sometimes a bad graphic designer doesn't mean bad story. Ever think of that?

Karayan: People might see me reading the book, I need something acceptable to the public eye

Iphnis: Yeah and Roric can't read so the cover's all he's got to go on

Karayan: Roric can't WHAT??

Roric: IPHNIS

BOYYSSSSS

*a few minutes later*

SO, Iphnis, do judge a book by it's cover? :)

Iphnis, through a bloody handkerchief: I try not to

Thank you, next question

Did you ever write in a journal?

Karayan, with plugged nose: I do. It helps me keep track of things

Roric: I don't because if I need to remember something I'll just remember it

Andarin: I tried, but I couldn't stick with it

Iphnis: My dad gave me a field journal for documenting things I'd seen but I ended up getting stressed over what I should and shouldn't put in so I ended up giving to my brother. He can handle that kind of responsibility

What are you most thankful for?

Andarin: A good life and good friends :)

Roric, under his breath: ugh, nobility

Andarin: :(

Karayan: I am most thankful for... for... um........

Take your time

Roric: Let m guess, red silk and black leather?

Karayan: There's more to me than my wardrobe, you know

Roric: I didn't know

Roric, what are you thankful for?

Roric: Uh, rain

Rain?

Roric: Yeah, rain

Okay, Karayan do we need to come back to you?

Karayan: ... i guess if there's one thing i'm more thankful for than leather and silk, it's gold

That works. Iphnis?

Iphnis: I am most thankful for the sunshine and the water, for good teachers and craftsmanship, for creativity, for people who love you, for nature,

Thank you for taking the question seriously

Iphnis: I try. Sometimes

What is one thing people misunderstand about you?

Karayan: That I'm a Chauvinist

Roric: *chokes*

Karayan: I'm kidding, people don't know how ruthless I can really be

Iphnis: People think I'm stupider than I am

Andarin: Poor choice of word

Iphnis: Oh give me a break

Andarin: People think I'm a pushover

Iphnis: For good reason

Andarin: Oh, come on, that's what this question was about.

Iphnis: I'm just messin with ya ;)

Okay kids, settle down. Roric?

Roric: People think I'm scarier than I am

Karayan, sarcastically: No way

Roric: Listen, if you were 6'2 scruffy, and had dark hair in a country where dark hair has bad associations, and a scar visible on your face, people would think you were scary too.

Karayan: Oh, people think I'm scary, but it's just from the glint in my eyes 

Alright alright, we're almost done

What's your bucket list this year?

Andarin: Ice bucket challenge

Karayan: Plebeian, but whatever. I'm shooting for buying an estate in the country

Andarin: Oh, those are lot of fun

Karayan: I mainly want it as a status symbol, but I suppose having fun isn't a bad motivation either

Roric: I would like to acquire some knives meant for throwing

Andarin: You know how you said people think you're scary?

Roric: Throwing knives isn't scary, Andarin, it's cool

Iphnis: My goal is to make a set of throwing knives

Andarin: Now that's cool

Iphnis: Actually I just said that to make the conversation flow better. I actually want to finish carving a set of animal figurines.

Andarin: Still cool

Aand, we're done!! Many thanks, boys.

*collective bow*

This was pretty fun and I intend to follow this character tag with the same questions, but with the girls this time. Of course, that could mean tomorrow, or it could mean next month. Who knows. :) Thanks for reading!
