Message: <blockquote data-quote="simmo" data-source="post: 1459308" data-attributes="member: 9744">Twenty Questions by Malkirnote: these questions were answered by Tallarn who plays Malkir. The questions are a modified version of those found in the 7th Sea Players handbook by AEG1. What country/place is Malkir from?He comes from an isolated part of Serena's homeworld, and grew up initially on a small farm on the southern continent. It was a large family with many mouths to feed, and at the age of about nine Malkir was sent away to the monastery. The Master of the Monastery saw potential in Malkir, and took him and began to teach him the way of the Henshin Mystics. It is only now that Malkir is starting to understand those teachings. 2. How would you physically describe Malkir? Serene, calm, focused. If you read my thread on acting, I'd say he has a balance of strong and lightweight, has more quick time than sustained time, and a large amount of flexible space. He's quick to examine situations from many angles, determine his course of action and act upon it. He tends to wear simple clothes, that look cheap yet enduring. There is a periapt hanging around his neck, shaped like a tree symbol if I remember rightly. He also wears fingerless gloves on his hands, and underneath the vest on his torso you can see a pair of bracers if you look carefully. 3. Does Malkir have any recurring mannerisms? Smugness is an air he tends to give off at first, but when you get to know him a little better you realise that is simply incredibly aware of himself and his limitations. He's very difficult to faze for long. He's fond of mystical sounding statements as well. 4. What is your Malkir's main motivation? To learn himself and transcend to divinity. This does not mean godhood necessarily, but Malkir believes that eventually he will leave his material body behind and instead become a creature of another form. 5. What is Malkir's greatest strength? Greatest weakness? Strength - His ability to remain calm and focused in all situations, regardless of distractions. Weakness - His lack of adherence to anything. By being so flexible, he lacks the raw passion and conviction that can sometimes take someone through a difficult situation. 6. What are Malkir's most and least favourite things? Most - riddles and teaching Least - people that refuse to accept a simple truth because of their inability to view something from another viewpoint 7. What about Malkir's psychology? (i.e demeanour, mentality) Somewhat covered above, but the key point to the character is his concentration and sereneness. He constantly evaluates situations, seeking the maximum amount of information he can gain from his surroundings that help him to act. 8. What is Malkir's single greatest fear? That everything he has been taught is a lie, and he can never transcend himself. That no matter what he does or how precisely he knows himself, someone out there could have greater knowledge. That Orcus is controlling him. 9. What are Malkir's highest ambitions? Her greatest love? To ascend to divinity, but to take other people with him when he does. To have his school become established and well known without having to fight everyone for it. 10. What is Malkir's opinion of Sigil? It's a nice place. Much better than home, with the lack of a mindflayer invasion and all. And although he's heard things about how awful some sections of it are, no one seems to be troubling him too much. 11. Does Malkir have any prejudices? Not really, although the way he feels about people that can't adjust to a new situation comes close. 12. Where do Malkir's loyalties lie? To himself first, always. Then to his students, and then on to Serena and Littleby, in that order. Caleb and Andrew are coming in last at the moment. 13. Is Malkir in love? Is she married or betrothed? "The Master is not married, nor do I think he ever will be." - Riff Raff, The Rocky Horror Show 14. What about Malkir's family? He left them behind a long time ago, and doesn't think about them much any more. The Master of his monastery also went walkabout one day, and Malkir occasionally wonders what happened to him. He hopes that the two of them can meet again, but he's not sure about it. Since coming to Sigil, he's realised that a portal might have been responsible, and the hope of meeting his former Master has increased. 15. How would Malkir's parents describe him? If they saw him now, they'd be pleased with him. He's become something worthwhile, a teacher and a largely good man. 16. Is Malkir a gentleman/gentlewoman? No, but he has the self confidence of one. 17. How religious is Malkir? What church do they follow? He's not religious, but he is spiritual. He's aware of the Gods, but doesn't feel any need to ask them for aid. 18. Is Malkir a member of a church, guild and/or faction? He's considering approaching the Sign of One for more information, but for now he's content to be the Master of a small monastery/school in Sigil, whilst waiting to see what this Githerezai has to say for himself. 19. What does Malkir think of psionics and magic? Both are ways in which people manifest themselves. Either can be a learned skill or an innate ability. Malkir doesn't care about a person's abilities much, he's more interested in the why of things. 20. If you could, what advice would you give Malkir? Bloody well get Annaleese to tell you about herself, make sure you keep up with that Githerezai Master, don't get on the wrong side of the Harmonium, and try not to buy anything else from Akin.</blockquote>
