Approximate Age: Still in my 20s, baby.

Species: Mom's a "complicated" and dad's a lich, so you can just call me a complicated son of a lich.

Preliminary Questions

What is your favorite color?

Pretty partial to "bruise blue" and "ichor green", but I do look damn good in pink.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I'm the front man of the greatest Queen cover band to ever rock the cosmos, and in my free time I like to get involved in as much trouble as I can.

What is your political alignment?

I roll with the CURE party. That's "Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality". It's a pretty big thing from where I come from. I also like the All-Night Party.

Do you like to dance?

Do sailors like to swear? Does Harris like to call dibs? Does Anubis have a high Fire Insurance premium? Hell yes I like to dance. All night and into the morning.

How many tattoos do you have?

Zip, but sometimes I like to paint some bones up or take a marker to them.

If you were to suffer a fatal accident during your training with the Baroness, do you have any relatives that will seek to take revenge?

I'm already dead, so I'm pretty used to the whole 'fatal accident' thing. There's no grudges to be had.

Do you regularly bathe?

Cleanliness is next to godliness. I might be undead, but I'm not into the whole 'shambling, rotting corpse' scene. That's for the grunge kids.

Short Answer Questions

Do you think you can beat Empress Baroness Jewell in a weapons fight? Explain.

Are you fucking kidding me? Empress Baroness Warrior Princess Jewell Fucking Ravenlock, Faerie Queen and all around Goddess? The Jewell Ravenlock who stapled Charlie Nine's nuts to his own face and while screaming "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, CHARLIE!"? The Jewell Ravenlock who butchered the entire population of Dragon's Gate when their baron stood her up for a date? *The* Jewell Ravenlock who, with nothing more than a spoon, killed the risen abomination Vanion Shadowcast? THAT Jewell Ravenlock? Hell no! As a small skeleton I kept a poster of you up in my closet! Everyone wanted to grow up and be a fierce, independent, utterly insane faerie empress just like you. In my reality you're like, bigger then The Beatles.

If Empress Baroness Jewell is dethroned from her barony, would you wish to continue your training with the next baron? Explain.

Why bother thinking about things that'll never happen? Sides, I know where my loyalties lie.

Why do you wish to study weapons fighting under her magnificence, Empress Baroness Jewell?

Dear god Simon! It would be a dream come true! We can train in the afternoon and then go hit the clubs and party our butts off. You can hook me up with cute dead folk like me and I'll wingman for you. WE COULD HELP PICK OUT OUR OUTFITS TOGETHER. I'm not even kidding, that would be the greatest thing ever. Also? I'm a skeleton! A scythe is RIGHT up my alley!

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody's there to see it fall, did the tree really fall? Explain.

Look, I don't know anything about trees. I don't know what they do in their private lives. Maybe tree is just taking a nap. Maybe another tree pushed them. All I know is if I'm your squire, I'd be happy to cut down any tree that gave you a problem. Ain't no one going to mess with my Baroness.

Expound upon your experience in Weapons Fighting in 60 characters or less.

Everyone's trying to kill you where I come from, parents included. I was fending off paladins on my way home from school, staying up all night to keep dad from "erasing the mistake I made with that horrible woman", and constantly avoiding tables less mom pop out from under one to shank me. I'm versed in all forms of combat.

Would you consider yourself a complete and utter failure in life or fairly accomplished? Explain.

I'm doing pretty good, but I've yet to hit my peak. I'm like a fire in need of a good accelerant.
