Message: <blockquote data-quote="simmo" data-source="post: 1468051" data-attributes="member: 9744">Twenty Questions Cade Highdalenote: these questions were answered by Tallarn who plays Cade. The questions are a modified version of those found in the 7th Sea Players handbook by AEG1. What country/place is Cade from? "Sigil native, berk. Always been around the place, learning the streets, the people and the ins-and-outs of it all. I don't leave the Cage much, I mean there's just so much going on here you've no need. Not that I wouldn't like to take a glance around some other planes, but Sigil's me home and that's how it's staying." 2. How would you physically describe Cade? He's short, even for a halfling, but nearly always sporting a big, friendly smile on his face. Short black curly hair frames his ruddy face, and sometimes almost hide his jet black dark eyes. He's got a fine cloak wrapped around him, soft shoes on his feet, and a fine set of jerkin and trousers on. The more observant amongst you would spot a set of mithril chain that he wears underneath his other clothes, and the two fine rings on his fingers. His gloves looked well used and comfortable on his hands. 3. Does Cade have any recurring mannerisms? He watches faces. Always. And he rarely stops chattering away about this, that and the other, but all the time he's doing it he's watching the people around them, getting a grip on who they are, what they want and so forth. He loves to understand the ways in which people relate to each other so that he can, metaphorically, put some nice big levers in and start moving things around. 4. What is your Cade's main motivation? "Motivations themselves, chum. I love to know who's doing what, why, when and how. I love information, can't get enough of the stuff. That's the key for me - know enough about a person and you can suggest to them some things that'll help you. Whoops. Did I say help me? I meant them." 5. What is Cade's greatest strength? Greatest weakness? Strength: His range of knowledge, skills, contacts and friends. In Sigil, he's amazingly well connected. Plus, he's just so damn likable. Weakness: Cade relies heavily on his reputation and his Paladin friend in dangerous situations. He's had to cut and run a couple of times when things have gone wrong. Plus, if it's got no mind, he's very uncomfortable around it. 6. What are Cade's most and least favourite things? "That moment on someone's face when they realise what's been going on in front of their nose without them seeing it. That's lovely, that. Gives me a funny little glowing feeling inside. Heh. Getting to know someone, too. I like that." "But I can't stand bloody constructs. What's the sodding point, eh? How you supposed to deal with them? No mind, no body language, just bloody heavy stuff on legs that wants to hurt you. Bastards." 7. What about Cade's psychology? (i.e demeanor, mentality) On the outside he's smiley, chirpy, happy little Halfling Bard boy. Loves helping people out (always for a little bit of payment, however), looks like everyone's best friend. Inside his head he's much more calculating than that, always keeping an eye out for a space in which he can get a mental lever and start working things to his advantage. 8. What is Cade's single greatest fear? Being kicked out of Sigil on a permanent basis, and being dumped in Mechanus. 9. What are Cade's highest ambitions? His greatest love? A life of wealth and luxury, being waited on hand and foot by willing servants, all of whom are happy in his service. But then what are we saying? Of course they'll be happy! His greatest love is knowing something that the person he's talking to doesn't know. 10. What is Cade's opinion of Sigil? "Love it, chum. Nowhere else like it in the universe. Now I've been around a bit, heard a lot of tales and I can tell you - you can stick your Waterdeep, your City of Greyhawk, your floating castles and subterranean metatropolis. The City of Doors is the place to be, where everything'll happen sooner or later. It's the place where you can make yourself count for something, and have the most fun doing it." 11. Does Cade have any prejudices? It goes somewhat without saying that Cade and the Harmonium don't really get along. They haven't got anything on him - yet - but if he could find a way to hurt them with minimal risk to himself, he'd take it. 12. Where do Cade's loyalties lie? Utterly to himself, and to a much lesser extent his Faction. Everyone else can dance to his tune, preferably. 13. Is Cade in love? Is he married or betrothed? *splutter* "What? Me? Married? You have got to be bloody joking, berk." 14. What about Cade's family? *Cade goes quiet if asked* "Yeah, well, some of us have happy upbringings, and some don't. Them as brought up in the Hive that do lightboy work, it's not all fun and games, yeah? Me Da, he's long gone, and I'll tell you, a lot of people sent gifts to the funeral. Because they were glad he was dead. I'm not letting myself die like that. Never." 15. How would Cade's parents describe him? "An irresponsible young wrastrel who's gonna get himself in trouble one of these days, no doubt." 16. Is Cade a gentleman/gentlewoman? *splutters again* "You ask some pretty bloody funny question, berk." 17. How religious is Cade? What church do they follow? "Well, I'm not really one for the big showy stuff, but I occasionally give a little something to a Temple. Puts them in a good frame of mind, y'know? Plus it can't hurt to have the Gods looking on you favourably. Whaddya mean, which Church? Depends what I've been up to and what I'm planning, mostly..." 18. Is Cade a member of a church, guild and/or faction? "I've been hanging with the Fated for a while now. You get what you earn, that's what I believe. Me and them, we understand things. Want to achieve something, get big, earn respect? Get out there and earn it. Don't rely on gods, factions, guilds, friends or anything else. It's all in here *taps head* and you've got to get it out." 19. What does Cade think of psionics and magic? "Bloody useful, isn't it? I dabble myself, got a few tricks. Can't say I really understand the means of it, but that don't mean I can't use it." 20. If you could, what advice would you give Cade? Sooner or later, you're going to come up against someone smarter than you are, and better at playing this game. Try and be a little more cautious.</blockquote>
