Character Name: Echo
Canon: Dollhouse
Reference Link: At the Dollhouse wiki!

Character History:
Echo's history, by and large, begins with Eleanor Penn. It's sometime during or shortly before the Cristejo engagement that Echo begins to become self-aware and remember bits and pieces of engagements. For example, at the end of 1x02 "The Target," she performs the gesture the client had when referring to his life mantra, 'shoulder to the wheel.' Before that self-awareness, she had been a doll, a fully-programmable 'person' who can be imprinted with different personalities for various clients of the Dollhouse. Often, she's imprinted for romantic engagements, where she's essentially programmed to love the client. On other occasions, she's imprinted with a task of some kind, such as 'protect the client at all costs' in the case of 1x03 "Stage Fright" or, in many romance engagements, to love the client above all else. However, early on, Echo displayed some signs of being 'special' in that she thought outside of the box in regards to those tasks.

When Alpha breaks into the Dollhouse for the first time, he ends up dumping all of Echo's imprints into her, trying to make a composite like himself. While she does become a composite of sorts, she doesn't adopt the same superiority complex as him; instead of seeing the extra minds as a reason to feel superior, she uses the extra skillets to help others. After defending her house multiple times from outside threats, Echo meets Bennett, an old friend of Caroline's who tortures Echo for that resemblance to Caroline. In the process of this torture, Bennett gives Echo a memory of Caroline, which triggers Echo's ability to control the imprints at will, albeit incredibly shakily at first. Shortly after, Echo escapes and hitch-hikes to Medina, Texas where she develops these skills further with the help of Paul Ballard. It's only three months, though, before she's brought back to the Dollhouse and faces the threat of Alpha again. However, her canon point is just before she enters the memory-wiping room of Topher's lab. As a reference, Echo will still get headaches if she tries to access too many things at once or too quickly.

Personality:
Separate from the 36+ imprints in her head, Echo does have her own personality that isn't just the innocent, child-like doll state. Instead, she's grown from that blank slate she was meant to be. At first, it was small things, recognizing others, but grew much more into a deep, unbridled passion to help others. She goes out of her way to help others who desperately need it, especially other Actives such as Victor/Anthony and Sierra/Priya. Another example is Joel Mynor, who Echo early on wants to finish her engagement with so he can have his happy ending as well as later on when she learns he's in danger. She respects many of the imprints lingering in her mind and, if she can, she'll fulfill their wishes, but not at cost to herself. Over time, Echo has developed a distinct sense of self-preservation This not only involves the ability to lie to the others' faces and altogether pretend she's still memoryless and blank but also worrying about what Caroline taking her body might mean. She knows what having Caroline might mean and, logically, she's a little afraid that it might mean the end of her (Echo).

However, this is not to say that Echo lacks assertiveness. She regularly faces down incredible odds with determination and ingenuity, especially once she starts to control the personalities better. When in danger, Echo's just as capable as witty one-liners as others and has learned over time other mannerisms such as the occasional sarcasm and a more and more developed sense of humor. Still, Echo is more serious and reserved than a wise-cracking, pun-wielding type. There's a time and a place for joking and Echo's time and place usual revolves around the company. If she's with someone (or someones) she trusts, she's more likely to make jokes and really be herself.

Writing Sample:
Sometimes remembering to breathe was the hard part. Cycling through personalities and letting them flow through her had slowly become easier and easier, but sometimes the essentials get lost in the mix. Come on, Echo she'd tell herself underneath the din of the extra voices all trying to talk at once, how could you forget how to breathe? Still, as Roma Klar clicked back into her place in the back of Echo's mind, Echo took a deep breath and straightened and pressed her hands around the digital lock on the door. Alright, she'd seen something like this before, shouldn't be too hard.

Looked like there was a place to pop open the box underneath if she could find something to pry it open with. Her fingers won't do the trick here. Quickly, she patted herself down, trying to find something possibly in the pockets of her uniform. Underwire, she'd used that before, she'd just need to get the underwire out without being ogled by any of her teammates. After all, she didn't know them, didn't know if she could trust them, but she knew she had to get them out of here. Seeing them hurt or seeing them in pain just made her feel almost incompetent. She could help them, she could save them from this place if she could find a way out.

For now, though, she needed to figure out the lock and get them to the next stage of the test in order to try and prevent any of them from getting hurt again; if she was fast enough, strong enough, then she could get the necessary points to survive here. Survival, it seemed so far, was the best they could really do so far.

"Keep an eye on the door and I'll get this open," she spoke quickly and effectively, no time for keeping up the innocent, blank state she'd been trying for the past couple weeks. She needed to get them out of there and, well, maybe the cat was out of the bag now, but their lives were more important than her secret. Maybe she could help more if they knew what she could do.

Character Name: Orihara Izaya
Canon: Durarara!!
Reference Link: Durarara!!

Character History: Once upon a time there was a very normal family. Alas, this was the normal family that decided to name their child the unique name of Izaya and ended up with a child who was just as unique. Since a very young age, Izaya had a strong interest in the people around him--to be more exact, he loved to watch them. This was how he would spend most of his free time until some weirdo decided to pester him into joining a biology club. It all changed, however, the moment said weirdo decided to jump in front of a knife intended for Izaya, not to save him but to impress some girl. Strangely enough, not only did Izaya claim responsibility for the stabbing, but he made sure to make the shanker’s life a living hell for ten years afterward.

When Izaya makes his way to Raijin Academy, he is very much a different sort of human observationalist who actively dabbles in people’s lives and affairs to watch how they will react. Instigating gangs wars and causing the volatile Heiwajima Shizou explode into rages are just a couple of examples of the things that he pulled in his high school career. Some time after university, Izaya follows the predictable career of being a pretty well-off informant. He spends most of his time selling information he’s gained through his network of various aliases. Izaya eventually takes an interest in the internet group calling themselves the “Dollars”, who allows anyone to become a member as long as they admit to being one if asked. More than this, he decides to take an active hand in the evolution of its leader while simultaneously instigating a three-way turf war all for some plot of his involving Valkyries and the head of a Dullahan.

Personality As a person, Izaya is obviously no saint. Since taking a more proactive role in gaining reactions from the people he claims to adore simply because they are human, Izaya takes on habits and hobbies such as trolling around on the internet and luring out suicidal people just to see if they really would go through with the deed. He is very much a cool and mercurial type of person who remains calm in most situations--sociopathic in the manner of not being able to relate to his fellow man normally but instead views himself as apart from them, often calling himself “the worst” there is. However, Izaya does also have a manic side to himself, most especially when celebrating the joy of witnessing something so very human in the people he pushes--whether it be predicted or completely a surprise. The exception to this being Heiwajima Shizou who Izaya has mutually loathed since the moment they laid eyes on each other.

He is very much an intelligent person, able to set up a Xanatos plot or two and watching all the pieces click into place. An example of this being how he sets up the “pieces” for the three-way turf war and watching as they tumble into each other until the conflict erupts in Ikebukuro. He often prefers to keep his hands clean of any direct interaction with his “pieces” (just a nudge here or there to get them moving in the intended direction) and observes the situation from a distance. Sometimes while also relaying to his assistant Namie where to move shogi, go, and chess pieces on a triangular board. While not a completely vain person, this concept of keeping his hands clean also extends to his own appearance, where he prefers to the more fashionable of things and often acts the part of the kindly senpai who wants to help his juniors with their troubles. The truth being, of course, that he could be purposefully steering them in a rather terrible direction.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
By my name, of course. I am rather fond of and attached to it.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
My feet would get cold otherwise. Ah--could there also be shoes with that? In fact, if you’re giving me clothing options, I do have preferences.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Hmmm... does chatting on the internet count as talking, I wonder...

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Not really plagued. I fully expect it. It’s all right if they do. It just means they care enough to bother with it~

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
. . . who tames egrets? Why not a cassowary if you’re going to go with birds? I think I want to go with the Bird Eating Spider for this one.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Hahaha--! What an odd question~

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
What kind of cake...? I don’t really like sweet things.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Should I?

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
That would be telling. Not that I have committed a crime. Technically.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
My assistant would miss her paycheck.

Character Name: Sion Astal
Canon: The Legend of Legendary Heroes
Reference Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Legendary_Heroes

Character History:

Sion Astal is first and foremost the beloved King of Roland. Having had a first-hand experience of how much misery can be caused by war and incompetent rulers, Sion works hard and diligently to make of his Kingdom – and ultimately the world – a happy and peaceful place. For that, Sion will employ any means necessary: from sound policies and natural charisma to foul play and the most brutal violence. Always moving forward for the well-being of his people, Sion’s tough decisions and less than ideal Faustian pacts are progressively taking a toll on his sanity, health and soul. With his destiny-bound friends Ryner Lute and Ferris Eris, he is part of a convolved plot that has already given birth to four soft novel series (almost 40 published books and a 24 episode anime). It involves past lives, possession by godly selves, many versions of a puzzling creation myth and the (recurrent) end of their world.

As a price and a requirement to become the King of Roland, Sion is also possessed by his original self, so to speak. The Fallen Black Hero, or the Mad Hero Asruld Roland, as he is also known, is described as a god, a monster and as Destruction itself. The Hero has lived multiple incarnations as "Sion" and has been attempting to destroy/save the world and save himself and his best friend (the uber author god/demon/alien/thing Ryner Eris Reed) over and over and over, in a world that is destroyed every 1.000 years by Lovecraftian goddesses. The Mad Hero consumes Sion from the inside and merges with him, causing the kind of uninterrupted pain that makes one wish they were dead and giving him what could be described as a split personality. The struggle between Sion and the Hero is rendered even more hopeless by the fact that the two are essentially the same person and, these days, the merging is almost complete.

Personality: Sion is a pragmatist dreamer - a kind, selfless man with "a slight flaw in his character". The fact that he does whatever it takes to achieve the greater good - even trampling on his personal beliefs - is both an impressive skill and an inescapable curse, for he never loses sight or morally justifies what he is doing. Pragmatism X idealism, individual interests X collective needs, mature common sense X compulsive behavior, reason X emotions are permanent tensions in his characterization. Sion is always regretting his most morally questionable decisions even when cold reason tells him his choices were sound, and thus the friend is always at odds with the king and the legendary hero can’t agree with the flesh and blood young man. In other words, Sion is a walking allegory about the constraints of power and personal sacrifices made by remarkable rulers.

Sion has a terrible tendency to shoulder emotional burdens on his own. As a king of millions, he has been conditioned to believe - sometimes quite correctly - that EVERYTHING is his responsibility. His protectiveness of his people turns him into an impossible workaholic, who frequently decides against eating and sleeping. Most people don’t notice his internal conflicts, for the King has always a genuine pleasant smile, confident words and a slightly twisted, trollish sense of humor to share with his subjects. Under it all, there is still a boy who is afraid of ending up abandoned and unloved, a sensitive man burdened by terrifying doubts and a very low self-esteem, and that’s where his friends – and particularly Ryner - play a major role.

Sion is a people's person, and it is in people's love that he finds his real strength (canon will prove that this affirmation is quite literal). Sion pretty much thrives on positive CR and harmonious groups, while conflict makes him depressed and even ruthless if the occasion demands. The darker the scenario, the more likely he is to present a confident, aloof facade and take the tow of difficult choices. Usually he is friendly, warm and sometimes deliberately silly around people, but being a keeper of dark secrets, he is less likely to talk about himself and open up completely. Sion is an honest faker to not be taken at face value.

Since he is pretty much merged with his godly self and is no longer human, he is also more prone to adopt the Hero's mannerisms and way of speaking under stress. In his body and soul, the Hero carries the curse of the pain, hope and screams of entire populations of vanished worlds. It is implied that this is the reason behind Sion's depth of emotions and strong empathy. Also related: SION IS ALWAYS IN PERMANENT AND EXCRUCIATING PAIN, but conceals it from those around him.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Sion.
02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
It is my strong belief that life is more pleasant with warm feet.
03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Sometimes I talk to myself.
04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
That has already been dealt with.
05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
A puppy or a horse. Though those are usually already domesticated, aren’t they? Well, perhaps a fox or a wolf, if I am allowed to ride the wolf.
06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
I do my best to help those who need it.
07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A spoon. Purely as an example, I prefer cake batter.
08. Do you trust yourself?
Well, they say the Hero King cannot be wrong...
09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
I once told my friend I was stuck in my robes to persuade him to undress me. Is that a crime, I wonder?
10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
I happen to be a public figure.

Character Name: Kotomine Kirei
Canon: Fate/Stay Night
Reference Link: http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Kirei_Kotomine

Character History: Kirei was basically a very nice pious boy who threw himself into religious studies. And then threw himself into working for the Church. And then threw himself into working as an executor for the Church. And then because his dad asked him to threw himself into being the pawn of Tohsaka Tokiomi in an epic Heroic Pokemon battle for the Holy Grail. Along the way he got seduced by an ancient King. This seduction began the path to self-discovery! It was just that Kirei's path of self-discovery was paved with fucking everyone else over. He and his ancient king romantic partner tried to get the Holy Grail (ultimate grant wishing device!) and instead just killed a lot of people.

But it wasn't a complete failure! They shacked up for ten years and then tried again to win their magical world destroying glory cup. Sadly it wasn't meant to be thanks to some meddling kids. Basically the next time the war for the Holy Grail comes around Kirei pulls a lot of strings and fucks around a lot and tries to unleash the All Evils in the world so he can ask it a question. Pretty much doesn't quite go as planned and he dies.

Personality: Kirei has been "deficient at birth". He gets joy from people's supreme unhappiness and basically finds no joy or satisfaction from people's happiness. Basically he has a giant boner for being a terrible person. For a good portion of his life (like 20 years) he tried really hard to be a good person. He repressed his sadistboner hard and lived by the principles of the Church. He denied himself any kind of pleasure and basically twisted his world view into PLEASURE=BAD. Then he got seduced by an ancient king. This started Kirei down his path of self acceptance.

In short, Kirei is a self-actualized awful person. Being awful isn't because he had some traumatic backstory or anything, he is just naturally awful! He can't really be made to be un-awful because being awful is his 'true heart' more or less.

After coming more into himself Kirei has mellowed out. He isn't as rigid as he used to be and even makes things such as facial expressions. He is generally 'polite' in a Captain Passive Aggressive way. He doesn't try to be nice so much as he acts within certain parameters that he considers acceptable for a given situation. He's not really a serial killer so much as someone who gives off the impression of being the guy who is pulling the strings. And, well, he has absolutely no qualms in feeding orphans to ~~his boyfriend~~ other people.

Luckily Kirei is also defined by being fairly passive. He's not really someone who runs around seeking misfortune so much as stacking it up when it comes around and continually moving forward to realize his 'answer'. His primary drive is trying to figure out if it is all right to live as he is ~~a completely terrible person~~ since the idea of his whole existence runs contradictory to his faith and upbringing.

But mostly he's just a passive aggressive dick that finds your suffering delicious.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Kotomine Kirei. That is my name after all. On the occasion you are looking for something more formal you could call me 'Father', but that might be awkward for some of you. And I would hate for us to start off with any awkward feelings between us.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
I do. Not only do socks protect your feet from chafing but they help minimize unpleasant odors as well.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
That's difficult to say, being a man of faith I've often found it more productive to hold my tongue. So, perhaps, a few days.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No, I wouldn't say that. Generally people are somewhat unsuspecting and naive.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I have to say I've never thought much about domestication, but I'm sure a caged lion would be charming.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
What an odd question. The answer would probably depend on what you consider 'functionally incapacitated.' Regardless, I'll be a good sport and say yes.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
I'm not a big fan of sweets, but if the company is right I'll say a knife and a fork.

08. Do you trust yourself?
What a question. Naturally. I'd be a poor priest if I didn't.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Ah, but once I share it then it immediate negates its value in response to this question, doesn't it?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Hardly.

Character Name: Vincent Nightray
Canon: Pandora Hearts
Reference Link: Pandora Hearts - wikipedia

Character History: Pandora Hearts is basically a story about monstrous Pokemon. In the Abyss, a chaotic void that exists outside time, "Chains" exist - monsters that can contract with humans. The story follows Oz Vesalius and his Chain B-Rabbit, or "Alice".
Vincent is one of the two adopted sons of the Nightray family, one of the four Noble Houses who are part of Pandora, the organisation that monitors the Abyss. He was adopted by the family at a relatively early age. However, the brothers in fact originated from one hundred years in the past, from the city of Sablier - which was annihilated. Vincent was, in fact, the cause of that event. Vincent and his brother Gilbert travelled through the Abyss to the future, where Vincent was brought up as nobility. After Oz got unceremoniously chucked into the Abyss, Gilbert was also adopted by the Nightray family.

In the present vein of the story Vincent works as a double agent - he is seen to be working for Pandora initially, however he is affiliated with the Baskervilles, the story’s “antagonists”. He bears two chains - he has a legal contract with the Dormouse, a chain that lets him put people to sleep and also gives him an unfortunate narcolepsy problem. He has an illegal contract with Demios, the Queen of Hearts, which is great at chopping off people's heads. Vincent's only tie lies with his brother Gilbert. As Vincent was a child of misfortune, born with one red eye which was seen in Sablier to be a terrible omen, they were mistreated and cast out on the street. In Vincent's eyes, he is the cause of all of the misery in Gilbert's life. His ultimate goal is to be completely removed from existence - to this end, he offers his loyalty to the Baskerville family.

Personality: On the surface of it, Vincent is the picture of a perfect gentleman - all good manners, sweetness and light, a charming and dignified young man, though usually more than a bit sleepy. Excellent at social functions! A real sweet talker. However, the more time you spend around him, the more you notice a dangerous, pervasive air having around him. Vincent is dangerous, cruel, twisted, and just a little bit unhinged. As well as slightly misogynistic. Everything he does has a point, however he thinks nothing of torturing someone to get what he wants, and he is ultimately ruthless and forthright in the pursuit of his goals. He isn't someone who will take the spotlight, preferring to work behind the scenes. And he keeps all of his secrets close to his chest, not even sharing them with his most important person, his brother Gilbert. He openly lies to Gil in order to conceal his true allegiances and motivations. He is also a chaotic, messy person with no particular shame - petty in his dislikes, he will happily cut up stuffed toys in order to vent any negative feelings. He will also fall asleep precisely wherever he pleases. His own state of self-loathing leads him to enjoy ruining people - tainting them and ruining their goodness.

Vincent is a layered person, however. At the heart of it, he is an individual who believes his existence has caused only suffering. All of his actions are to further his goal of completely removing his own existence from the face of the world. Beyond anything, he loves his brother Gilbert to the point of obsession, and would happily remove himself from the face of the world if that means his brother will find peace and happiness. So yes, underneath it all there is a person who does understand kindness. You just have to ... go down a really long way.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Calling a person by something other than their name is rude, isn't it ... ? Vincent Nightray is my name.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
. . . I'm ambivalent on the topic of socks. Is that wrong? Should I be considering all these questions important?

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
I couldn't possibly calculate it. Speaking is hardly something that bears any scrutiny . . . isn't it true that a person will speak when they feel they have something to say? Whether the thing that's being said has any worth . . . that's up to the listener ♥

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Oh, come now . . . that would be the the blight of a very paranoid and untrusting person. I cannot imagine being the kind of person that would admit to experiencing such thoughts about beloved family and friends . . .

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I never said I wanted to domesticate an egret. It's very rude to put words in someone's mouth.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Is there an appropriate and an inappropriate answer to this question . . . ? Ah, I don't really mind. Sometimes these things are . . . how would one say it? An unfortunate necessity?

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Mhm . . . manners dictate a three-pronged cake fork. Though you could feel free to partake in an act of rebellion and use a fork with four prongs. Go ahead, go ahead. No one will mind.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Of course. No matter what the situation, I know exactly what I would do.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Hmmm. Know that I answer this question with some consideration: . . . no ♥! What is the point of a secret, if you're prepared to just give it away to anyone?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Well, if that's what you're interested in . . . I'm sure we'll find out.

Character Name: Naze Youka (Kurokami Kujira)
Canon: Medaka Box
Reference Link: Medaka Box Wiki: Naze's page

Character History: Born Kurokami Kujira, Kujira was blessed with good looks, a good family, and a good life, all of which she absolutely despised. She believed that true genius was born out of suffering and despair and as such shut herself away from the world, focusing only on her biological (and mostly human) experiments and studies. But she still wasn't able to reach the level of suffering she desired and eventually ran away from home, changing her name to Naze Youka and removing her own memories as a Kurokami through experimentation on herself.
From that point on Naze dedicated herself to leading a horrible life in order to further her successes in biology. Along the way she gained a friend and continuing science experiment, Koga Itami, a normal girl with normal talents and the desire to be abnormal. From Naze's experiments, Koga was changed into an overwhelming fighter and the two eventually ended up at Hakoniwa Academy with Naze taking position as supervisor of the Flask Plan, an underground project dedicated to turning normal humans into perfect beings.
Over the course of the series Naze goes from minor enemy to enemy-turned-ally to main character mentor figure to randomly-appearing-ally, acknowledging that she's a person who actually seeks her own happiness albeit in twisted ways. She's currently serving as Vice-President for the student council.

Personality: Naze is a rude-mouthed, analytical, and slightly cocky girl who will never hold her tongue when it comes to making a snide comment. Her words are generally harsh and blunt, with a very fake-sounding 'playfulness' to them at times that doesn't match her generally stoic expressions and mannerisms. While she doesn't completely follow her previous lifestyle of "the more I suffer, the happier I am," she still hasn't quite given it up, showing more of a preference to unfavorable conditions than favorable ones. She's accepted that she cares about people beyond using them as experimentation projects, but that doesn't mean she'll stop using them as experimentation projects.
She's confident in what she can and can't do and has a slight complex with gaining acknowledgement, particularly when it comes to being better than her older brother, who was also the former supervisor of the Flask Plan. This usually comes out in the form of blatant, indirect fishing for comments (e.g. "who could have been the person to do this they must be amazing we should call them amazing").
As a note, when her face is covered by bandages she speaks differently, assumedly in a harsher tone or manner, as compared to when it's revealed. The rest of her speech mannerisms stay the same though.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Demon Queen Vice-President Naze Youka is enough to satisfy me, but if you can come up with something better then use that.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
No. They're a pain in the ass to put on and there's no point to it.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Something like a full year in middle school. Or when I first started school again. I did some amazing work back then so somewhere around there I had to be at my lowest.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
My family and most of the people I know now are too do-good to do that kind of thing. If you want the twisted one who'll do that kind of thing with an extraordinary amount of finesse and intelligence, I'm the more likely target, aren't I? Ah, but I can't say that I'll do it for sure anymore, I like some of those guys too much now.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I've already seen everything there is to on every living animal in existence, so they're dull to me now. Maybe something more exotic like one that doesn't exist anymore, or something new that doesn't exist yet. That could be interesting.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Not a bit. I work better in a miserable environment.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Why ask stupid questions? You eat cake with a fork, that's it. What kind of idiot has a favorite?

08. Do you trust yourself?
Of course I do. I'm not some pathetic person who doesn't believe in myself.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Who wants to do a crime that no one knows about? It's better to let everyone see and know just how feared you should be.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
My cute little sister and that perverted older brother might get a little pissed off if I went missing again, but I'm sure that the president will be completely lost without his favored vice president there to guide him.
