[QUOTE="Kunimatyu, post: 3736677, member: 22057"] Here's mine from the last NC Gameday. It's a little terse due to the fact that I was prepping a game of my own that week, but it's interesting seeing how my version differed from Crothian's. The one thing I would have done differently had I more time would have been to figure out a way to make the character more active -- as it is, this version of Bertram tends to let things happen to him and then react. Mr. Bertram Finchley Nephew of the late Sir Oliver Hume [sblock] 1. You are over 40. Why do you still live with your mother? Money in the family was tight ever since the end of the War and his wife dying - moving in wasn't an option, and the poor dear could use some family around. 2. What first triggered your interest in photography? Scenes of nature in the countryside. He never was quite good at painting (jitters), but he has a good eye for detail with a camera. 3. Have you ever experienced true love? He was very devoted to his wife before she died of consumption, but it was somewhat one-sided. 4. Why didn't you enlist during the Great War? Aside from being in his thirties when it happened, he has started having problems with gout. 5. What's your worst habit? Not shutting up when something more important than what he's saying is going on. 6. Why do those people hate you? The aforementioned not shutting up and the tendency to mock their peculiarities(except his mother's). 7. Do you like your relatives? Okay folks, good people, salt of the earth, but boring. No sense of art, and they rarely seem to engage in some honest philosophizing. 8. How do you spend your days? Taking strolls and finding new things to photograph. 9. Have you considered hospitalizing your mother? Not really. She's been through so much already, poor dear - she doesn't need to be traumatized more. 10. Do you believe in spirits? Pardon me if I say poppycock, but it gives the old woman something to do with her last years, and it doesn't hurt anybody. The poor deluded souls who believe it with her, they're just a sorry lot. 11. What scares you the most? Things he can't explain with logical deduction. 12. What are you looking forward to? An upcoming chance to display some of his newer photographs at a gallery. 13. Is it worth having a go at Camille, your mother's French maid? She really doesn't seem to appreciate his photography - what on earth would they do to pass the time?[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
