[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 3948087, member: 7533"] I did it primarily as a "team-building" exercise. I like giving everybody a hand in shaping all the characters and the adventures themselves. Here's the remaining six questions for each character: [b]The Circus Acrobat[/b] [list=1][*]What do you spend your spare money on? [*]Despite all outward appearances, you have never been an exceptionally brave person. What do you do to prepare yourself for the stresses of a dangerous situation? [*]Before you joined the circus, you had been a Catholic Priest. What made you forsake the Church? [*]Who taught you how to be an acrobat? [*]Why is it necessary for you to always be the center of attention? [*]What was the single occasion when your personal morals outweighed your need to please others?[/list] [b]The Police Inspector[/b] [list=1][*]Your training as a police inspector has given you a wide range of skills. What wasn’t covered? [*]You always carry a tintype photograph of someone of someone you never met. Who is it and why do keep it? [*]In all your years as a police officer and inspector, you've only ever fired your gun at a man once, and when you did you killed him. Who was he and why did you shoot him? [*]Why can't you ever go back to your favorite pub? [*]As a child, what did you want to be be when you grew up, and why aren't you? [*]When did you first learn that you could perfectly predict the outcome of horse races?[/list] [b]The Stage Magician's Assistant[/b] [list=1][*]What is the worst side effect that occurs every time you try to contact the shades of the past. [*]The very first time you began to understand what the voices were saying was terrifying. What happened? [*]What do you do to relax? [*]What injury do have that never healed quite right? [*]The stage magician you traveled with had one trick that you always wanted to learn, but he never showed you the secret. What was the trick, and do you think he did it? [*]In the end, your mentor was murdered, but you never felt the need to avenge his untimely death. Why?[/list] [b]The Canadian Frontiersman[/b] [list=1][*]What were you doing in the Dakotas? [*]What did you do to get promoted to Sargeant? [*]How did your painstaking attention to detail once save your life? [*]Whose opinion matters most to you? [*]Who was the woman you left behind? [*]Are you really as good a shot as people say you are?[/list] [b]The World-Traveling Dilettente[/b] [list=1][*]How did the love of your life, the man you were engaged to marry, die? [*]You have a habit that you try very hard to control because it is so annoying. What is it? [*]Throughout your worldwide travels, you and your father occassionally had to resort to shady pastimes in order to survive, leading to the acquisiton of some useful skills. What did you do and what did you learn? [*]What do you fear the most? [*]Having never truly had a place to call home, in all your travels where were you the happiest? [*]You and your father once watched a colleage die because of a quarantine. What did you do to trick everyone into believing that you weren’t contaminated?[/list] Most of the them are "original" questions, though some of them came from the list of suggestions in the rulebook. About half of them are came from the other players. [/QUOTE]
