.: Prologue :.

Collared by :iconjublenarris: :XD:

--

*The large medieval rat steps forward with the questions-sheet and addresses a group of my characters*
Jube: OK, so who's answering the questions?

*The group confer briefly and five of them step forward*
a) Danbuster
b) Retsubnad
c) Winstanuki
d) Hydrex
e) Pearl

Jube: What's all this, then?
Daniel: Oh, I prefered to let my characters speak for themselves, alright?

Danbuster: Well, I guess I'd better take part with this thing and make sure nothing insane happens! :D
Retsubnad: Insane? With you around we can hardly expect anything pertaining to normality! :paranoid:
*Winstanuki is heard speaking "live on air" for the first time - a high-pitched posh-sounding voice which seems to be forced through stationary front teeth*
Winstanuki: Er, pip pip, there, one and all! I say! I never thought I'd be considered important enough to participate in a jolly old character interview, eh wot?
Danbuster: You sell us our tea! Of course you're important, Mr, er... I don't even know your surname... heh... ^^;
Hydrex: Well, I had lots of fun the last time I did one of these. Gave me a bit of action, and you know me - just don't like bein' left out of things! :D
Pearl: And where Hydrex goes, there I be bound! We don't like bein' seperated!

Jube: All right, let's begin shall we?
*the remaining characters - Frederick the ferret, Spencer the rat, Marquila the eagle, his wife Galeforce and daughter Strongtal and Retsy's weasel sidekick Wally Babbleton, go to their reserved seats in the audience*

.: Character Interview :.

1) What's your character's name?
Danbuster: Danbuster Cameronean Leadboot. I hope I need no introduction... *flexes a hind limb to show off his powerful long legs and big feet*
Retsubnad: I'm Retsubnad Leadboot. *points at Danbuster* His handsome, charasmatic and lovable twin brother. :evileye:
Hydrex: You? Lovable? I think evil twin is nearer the mark! Haharr! :XD:
Retsubnad: Watch it, otter! :X
Winstanuki: Ahem, 'scuse me. Winstanuki Typhoo-ye's the name. China tea merchant. My card!
*Winstanuki waves a business card under Jube's nose. He takes the card and chucks it away without looking at it. The phlegmatic British tanuki reacts with a slight twitch of one eye, indicating some annoyance felt*
Jube: Maybe later, but right now let's just answer the questions, OK?
Hydrex: Leroy Rudderbuck! That be me name, matey! But you can call me Hydrex! :D
Pearl: Avast there, me hearties! I be Pearl Oceanflower! No! Wait, that's Pearl Rudderbuck these days! *grins at Hydrex*

2) How old is he/she?
Danbuster: In the story canon, I'm 18 years old.
Retsubnad: 3'485.
Danbuster: Uh? Don't be silly! You're younger than me by a few minutes!
Retsubnad: Ah, just 'cos you were born first! :paranoid:
Hydrex: I'm also 18 years old.
Pearl: I'm 17.
Winstanuki: Haha, well. Seems I'm the golden-oldie here, wot? I'm 37.

3) Is your OC a boy or girl?
Danbuster: Err, boy when I last looked...:O_o: *pulls out hem of kilt and shorts* Heh, definitely a boy... ^^;
Winstanuki: Ah yes, I'm male too, doncha know.
Hydrex: Oh, there's no doubt about my masculinity, is there? :D
Pearl: Oh, certainly not!
Hydrex: Yeah, and as for you, my love?
Pearl: Heh. Girl, of course! :aww:
Retsubnad: I'm not a boy - I'm a fully mature male hare! I make no claims to infancy!

4) What's his/her race?
Danbuster: Brown-mountain March Hare. :D
Hydrex: 'Scuse me? :O
Retsubnad: Yeah, it's confusing, I know, but you see my brother and I were fathered by a mountain hare and mothered by a brown hare making us a sort of crossbreed.
Danbuster: And since we were born on the first of March, we're March Hares.
Retsubnad: Which would account for his mental condition... :XD:
Danbuster: Hey! You're not getting out of this, bro! You're not much saner!
Retsubnad: What? How dare you? :X . . .even if it is true... ^^;
Jube: Guys, can we stick to the topic? *points at Winstanuki* You! You're next!
Winstanuki: Ah, I don't appreciate being pointed at like a sack o' spuds, sir!
Jube: Just answer the question, will ya?
*Winstanuki pulls a teapot and cup out of his jacket pockets, calmly pours himself some milk and tea and stand sipping tea, completely ignoring Jube*
Jube: Please? :roll:
Winstanuki: That's better. *puts cup away* And before you say "racoon", I am not. I'm a tanuki - like those chaps from old Japanese culture... except that being a naturalised British tanuki, there are certain censorship issues in place regarding my, er... lower-abdominal anatomy.
Retsubnad: Well, your stomach certainly makes up it! :XD:
*Retsy pats the tanukis stomach - the tanuki slaps his hand away and stick his nose in the air*
Hydrex: Moving on... I'm a common Eurasian otter.
Pearl: Me too. Next question?


Appearance
1) If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Danbuster: Well, it's not everyday you see a six-foot hare in a kilt, now, is it! :D
Retsubnad: I'd sure hope that everyone stared at me... in the greatest awe and respect! That's why I pride myself on looking so awesome in these green wizard-robes. :mwahaha:
Winstanuki: Oh, I never liked to draw attention to myself, wot? Er, short of commercial advertising, that is! No, if I was too much for human eyes to take in, I could always shapeshift into human form myself so that I fit in better. :)
Hydrex: Well, I don't know about the real world, though my wife and I are a pretty common sight in Station Square.
Pearl: Oh yes. The fishmonger there is quite used to seeing me regularly, when I sell him the excess of our catch.

2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Danbuster: Well, if it comes to that, my use of cartoon physics is a bit unusual.
Retsubnad: *looks a Danbuster for a long time* A bit? You're a flaming loony, brother!
Danbuster: So what? You are too!
Retsubnad: Maybe so, only I'm also the brainy one. After all, I practice magic. Perhaps not a normal practice to most, but I'm used to it.
Winstanuki: I try to be perfectly normal in society. But of course, my shapeshifting ability, while normal to tanukis, is not the sort of thing you see everyday, wot?
Hydrex: Oh, I'm a very average sort of otter. I make no claims to greatness.
Pearl: Well, you are very strong.
Hydrex: So are you, my dear.
Pearl: That doesn't make me any different. We're just two forest-dwelling otters! :aww:

3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
Danbuster: Hmmm, my kilt?
*As Dan lifts a corner of his navy-blue kilt to take a look at it, Retsy notices something else*
Retsubnad: Uhhh, those patriotic undies of yours aren't hard to miss! :XD:
Danbuster: Ah! :O . . .yyyeah... ^^;
Retsubnad: Hmmm, I think your gapped buckteeth, glassy blue eyes and fuzzy yellow hair are most recognisable, actually!
Danbuster: Thank you, Retsy! And I'd know your fiery yellow red-rimmed eyes anywhere, to say nothing of your green robes and Turkish slippers!
Retsubnad: It's good to be appreciated! :aww:
Winstanuki: Hmmm, I guess my green eyes, monacle and British-style costume set me apart, eh wot?
Hydrex: Yeah, I think so. And of course you'd know me anywhere by my scarlet swimshorts and navy-blue eyes! :D
Pearl: I know you by more than that, Hydrex! :aww:
Hydrex: Err, yeah. Like I know more about you than just your white bathing costume and... *trailing off* heh, heh, your beautiful face... :love:
Jube: *shattering the mood* Get a room, you two! :roll:

4) Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Danbuster: I dunno, what would you say?
Retsubnad: I'll only say you're attractive, Danbuster, because I'm your identical twin brother - and if I going saying something like you're ugly, that would be like saying I'm ugly! So yeah - we're just the thing two lovely young female hares our age could want! :evileye:
Danbuster: You have a real way with words, Retsy... :hug:<== bro-hug
Retsubnad: GUH!! :omg: I do wish you wouldn't hug me in public! ^^;
Winstanuki: Hmmm, I hadn't considered. I suppose someone might think I'm attractive. I always thought myself rather plain, actually.
Hydrex: Ah, well I always took pride in my appearance.
Pearl: Yes, I've seen you combing that lovely chestfur of yours! *running her fingers through it*
Hydrex: Ah, but I'm not as lovely as you are! :aww:


Personality
1) Temper?
Danbuster: Yeah, pretty even-tempered - though I can go a bit insane whatever mood I'm in. And I can really go mental if one of my friends gets hurt!
Retsubnad: This I know all too well... :fear: . . .And yes, I also can get very frustrated when he messes up my plans of World Domination. Though I do try to control my temper if I can.
Winstanuki: Oh, I'm like a dormant volcano. Being British, I never like to show any emotion that makes me look undignified. I rarely ever lose my temper - but push me just that little bit too far and I can explode into a furball of fury!
Hydrex: I'm ashamed to admit that temper is one of my main weaknesses. I'm a very fiery bloke. In fact, you rub me up the wrong way and you'd see a scene of violence to make the Battle of the Somme seem like "Watch with Mother"! ^^;
Pearl: Believe me, I've seen it! My husband is a regular powerhouse! He didn't get the nickname "Hydro Electric" for nothing! I can be a little quick-tempered myself, sometimes, though I'm not quite a dangerous as he is.

2) Does your character ever get depressed?
Danbuster: Not really. I like to be cheerful when I can. :)
Retsubnad: Depressed? I'm depressed most of the time - especially when I remember how messed up my past was. How they branded me "evil twin" at birth because of my yellow eyes and dark fur, placed me with cruel foster parents and generally mistreated me. Sometimes I wish I hadn't be forced to grow up to be a villain... :depressed:
Winstanuki: I say! Bad show, Retsubnad!
Retsubnad: Thank you, Mr Typhoo-ye!
*big silence*
Jube: All right, that's enough. Your turn to answer, tanuki!
Winstanuki: Ah! I'm never depressed. I always keep a stiff upper-lip, wot? :)
Hydrex: Only bouts of depressed I ever got was when I was courting Pearl and I was thinking about popping the question, but worrying whether or not she'd say "yes"
Pearl: You too, dear?
*they look at each other*
Hydrex: I'm glad we agreed to go through with it!
Pearl: So am I! :aww:
Jube: Look, there'll be plenty of time for all this mushy stuff later. There's a whole section of questions in this list about "Romance", you know! ^^;

3) Leader or Follower?
Danbuster: I guess I'm a bit of both. I lead my friends, Frederick and Spencer, on various adventures, but I'm always willing to let one of them take over if they have a better idea than me. :)
Retsubnad: Leader! Definitely a leader! Well, I crave World Domination for a start!
Danbuster: What about those times when you've sided with us against a common enemy?
Retsubnad: On those occassions, you are working with me, as far as I'm concerned!
Winstanuki: I suppose you could say I'm leader. I'm a popular leading conglomerate in tea! ;)
Hydrex: I've led before, but I'm not sure I'm very good at it.
Pearl: Oh, you are. You've got that power of authority - and physical strength to assure that power! :D
Hydrex: And with you by my side, we're a force to be reckoned with! ;)

4) What is the main aspect(s) of his/her personality?
Danbuster: I'm lovable, well-meaning and insane! :D
Retsubnad: I'm charismatic, handsome, brilliant, intelligent and future ruler of the world! :mwahaha:
Danbuster: Modest with it... :roll:
Retsubnad: Uh?
Danbuster: If you want the truth, you're self-absorbed, arrogant, sly and evil. That's the main aspects of your personality, Retsubnad Leadboot... but I still love you as my brother! :)
Retsubnad: Hmmf! :X
Winstanuki: I'm very British in my personality. I show true phlegm in any situation. Never get over-excited or angry about anything - most undignified.
Hydrex: I guess I'm pretty lively and cheerful myself. Love adventure and can't stand inactivity! :)
Pearl: As for me, I'm very straightforward and sensible for an otter. I like to see a job done right. But of course, I enjoy a good scrap too. ;)


History
1) Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Danbuster: Yup! My mother and father live locally - Bustopher Cameronean Leadboot is a chief clerk at our local bank, and my mother, Daniella (nee Fleetfoot), formerly a postmistress.
Retsubnad: Oh yes, your mother and father! I never even troubled to find out the names of my foster parents - nor do I care! :X
Danbuster: Oh sorry, Retsy! I meant our parents! ^^;
Retsubnad: I haven't even seen them in years... :depressed:
Danbuster: It can be arranged...
Winstanuki: Ah, well my grandfather hailed from Japan, of course. That's why I have the leaf symbol "ye" in my surname. He moved to England to start up a business importing tea from China, which my naturalised British father and, by extension, I later inherited.
Hydrex: My parents live around the Mystic Ruins area. Shortclaw & Sapphire Rudderbuck, that's them! And then there's me siblings: Cranium, the older brother - a right bookworm, he is! Alway preferred brainwaves to water waves! Arrr, and there be our big sister, Aquaria - brilliant swimmer. Even more graceful than me, I must admit! Oh, and two younger sisters, Red and Rosebud. Hmmm, haven't seen me family in a while now. Not since our wedding, eh, Pearl? :D
Pearl: No indeed. Yeah, come to that, I haven't seen my family in ages. Don't know what became of them... :hmm:

2) Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Danbuster: Well, yes. I'm not living with my parents anymore - on the other hand, Frederick and Spencer are always there for me... just like brothers! :aww:
Retsubnad: Lucky you! :paranoid: Hmmf, I've been alone all my life! And I believe I told you about my rotten past just now. :depressed:
Winstanuki: But of course. After all, I am 37. I'm old enough, wot? At this stage of my life, I'm a partner in my father's China tea business, which is also my inheritance when he bites it.
Hydrex: Yes, I'm living out. Like Danbuster, I moved out to live my own life.
Pearl: I don't even remember my parents, but at least Hydrex and me have each other now. :)

3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Danbuster: None that I can think of, short of non-canon random RPs on MSN... :XD:
Retsubnad: My whole past was one big traumatising event! :X
Winstanuki: No, I've lived a very secure life here in Britain! :)
Hydrex: I'll go with Danbuster's statement... ;)
Pearl: Oh, and that time in a story that hasn't been animated yet when Dr Eggman kidnapped me and Amy... not that it left me emotionally scarred, but it was extremely annoying! :roll:

4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Danbuster: Ah, that was probably that sense of freedom I felt when Frederick and I left home to go and live in our own house! I still see my parents, of course, but it's great to be independant! :)
Retsubnad: Hmmm, let me think... it would probably be all those times when I successfully master a new magic spell, or when I've nearly succeeded in conquering the world - you know, those magic moments just before Danbuster foiled me!
Winstanuki: *breaking into a rare smile* I believe that was the day when I graduated from my Business course in University and gained my partnership in the family business! Ah, what a proud day that was! :D
Hydrex: The best time of my life... was when I married Pearl! :aww:
Pearl: Seconded! :smooch:
Jube: Funny you mention that, you otters, because the next section is...


Romance
1) Single?
Danbuster: Yes. In any case, I have met anyone yet... :XD:
Retsubnad: Me too. But then who'd have me, despite my excellent qualities? ^^;
Winstanuki: At the moment, yes, but I hope to marry soon.
Hydrex: Nah, I ain't single, am I, dear? :D
Pearl: That's OK! I'm not either! :hug:

2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Danbuster: No. :XD:
Retsubnad: Romance? I'm not even sure what "love" is! :depressed:
Winstanuki: I'm courting an English tanuki-lady, but beyond that my lips are sealed...
Hydrex: I'm married to Pearl, ain't I? Don't get much more romantic than that! ;)
Pearl: And my husband has basically answered for both of us! :D

3) Virgin?
Danbuster: Er, considering my answers to the previous questions, there doesn't seem much point in asking that question!:O_o:
Retsubnad: Don't mind him, Jube! He's so naive, he thinks that only married people have sex! :giggle:
*big pause, while Jube and Retsy laugh over this*
Danbuster: Well, isn't that so? :O . . .Ewwww! :disbelief:
Retsubnad: Oh, puzzle over it for a while. I'm sure you'll work it out eventually. :roll:
Danbuster::O_o: Next you'll be telling me that you've got a mistress!
Retsubnad: Nah, only wishful thinking, "dear brother"! The only thing I've ever slept with is my Shadow the Hedgehog plush... oops! *claps hand to mouth*
Danbuster: You sleep with a soft toy? :O . . .DAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAH!! :pointandlaugh:
*The interviewer, interviewees and audience - even Winstanuki - join in laughing at Retsy's confession*
Retsubnad: *sigh* At least sleeping with it is all I do... ^^;
Jube: *wiping tears of laughter away with the edge of his cloak* OK, settle down, folks! I think we've established these long-eared rabbits' innocence here.
Danbuster: Rabbits? :O
Retsubnad: Hares if you don't mind! :X
Jube: All right, hares, but could the other three participants finish answering the question?
Winstanuki: Question? Oh yes, the question of viriginity. Yes, I am. I've only known my lady-friend for a year and we're not rushing into anything.
Hydrex: Heh... virgin? *glancing at Pearl* Nah, not any more, eh? :XD:
Pearl: Oh, indeed not! :love:
*Retsy catches sight of their expressions*
Retsubnad: I take it you enjoyed it, then? :evileye:
Hydrex: Not 'alf! :aww: . . . :O . . .I mean, er... here! Th-th-that's none of your business! :blushes:
Retsubnad: That's definite enough! :XD:
Danbuster: *loudly* Moving rapidly along!!
Jube: Hmmm? *pause* Oh, yeah! Sorry!

4) Does your character like flirting?
Danbuster: Nah, I prefer straight-shooting!
*Dan pulls out longbow and shoots an apple that Spencer (in the audience) was about to eat - he yelps in shock*
Retsubnad: Given half a chance...
Winstanuki: No.
Hydrex: Only with Pearl! :D
Pearl: Only with Hydrex! :D


Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
Danbuster: Errr... *tugs long ears* A hare! What else?
Retsubnad: Likewise, I agree for once with my brother!
Winstanuki: Well, I'm a tanuki, so that's definite enough!
Hydrex: Otter, wouldn't you say?
Pearl: Definitely otter!

2) Musical Instrument?
Danbuster: I can play the piano a bit. Especially Beethoven! :D
Retsubnad: Seems Danbuster and I like keyboard instruments. I'm learning to play the organ. That way, when I'm sitting in my private rooms in my lair waiting for Danbuster and his mob to foil my plans, I can be playing the organ and chatting away like we're discussing the weather - that'll make me look cool! :evileye:
Winstanuki: I occassionally play the harmonica. Only to pass the time, mind you. I'm not good at it.
Hydrex: Nah. Can't sing and can't play an instrument. I cut a lovely hornpipe, mind you!
Pearl: Yeah, let's dance the hornpipe! :boogie:
*Winstanuki makes an fair effort on his harmonica to accompany the dancing otters*
Jube: Hold it! Let's finish this interview first, OK?

3) Element?
Danbuster: As in powers? Well, you could say Air, because I can bend cartoon-physics to my will, especially pulling cartoon props and stuff out of the air - well, my sporran, anyway! I'm also a fast runner and move like the wind!
Retsubnad: Pretty much all of them. No, I'm not boasting this time. Seriously, I'm an all-round self-taught wizard with various useful spells at my disposal! Fire, I can produce fireballs, lava blasts and explosions; Air, I can create wind and tornado spells and I can teleport myself at will; Water, I can flood an area with water, cause monsoon rainfalls and blast things with ice - well, extreme temperatures are the higher-end spells and need a lot more effort; Earth, I can make buildings fall down and cause landslides and rockfalls! As for Light and Dark elements... well, I'm full of dark spells and, at Danbuster's insistence, I have learned how to perform healing spells.
Danbuster: Wow, pretty impressive, bro! :nod:
Retsubnad: Yes, but I have to confess straight-up, I'm not limitless. There are some higher-end spells I still haven't achieved - like the nuclear blast - and then of course I could only do that if I have enough energy in me. I tire myself out and then my power gives out. Oh, have I been rambling or what! Heh, Mr Typhoo-ye? Your move.
Winstanuki: Well, anything we say is bound to look weak after your answer, Retsy, but still... like Danbuster, I have no real elemental powers - only shapeshifting, as most tanukis can.
Hydrex: Elemental power? Oh no! Nothing beyond our natural skill in water.
Pearl: Hydrex is built like a brick outhouse, but that's about it.

4) Planet?
Danbuster: What sort of question is this? There is no life on any other planet!
Retsubnad: Well, who knows?
Winstanuki: Planet Earth, I do believe.
Hydrex: Well, in the Sonic world, we call it Mobius, but, er...
Pearl: Yeah, they since say that Earth and Mobius are one and the same planet or something... :hmm:


Showing the Love
1) Do you draw your character?
Danbuster: I get drawn often, yeah. But then I am the alter-ego and main character around here! :D
Retsubnad: I get the odd bit of screentime when a villain or anti-hero is needed...
Winstanuki: I'm a bit of a one-off. I haven't appeared more than once - that was my one and only picture, introducing me to the public world. :XD:
Hydrex: Yeah, I'm pretty popular! :D
Pearl: And at Hydrex's side, I'm also getting better known! :aww:

2) Do you write about him/her?
Danbuster: Yup! I've featured in a few stories before! :aww:
Retsubnad: Not much beyond a few planned script storylines... ^^;
Winstanuki: No. I told you, I'm only a one-off - I'm still new to the public!
Hydrex: Ah, we've been written about, indeed! :D
Pearl: Yeah, especially how we got together! :hug:

3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
Danbuster: I'm usually the main character of RPs on MSN. :D
Retsubnad: Likewise, I'm either a main antagonist or an untrustworthy ally... :paranoid:
Winstanuki: It was in RPs that I first came into my own, eh wot?
Hydrex: As a friend of Danbuster, we're often in RPs!
Pearl: Hydrex most often, but I'm usually on the scene too! :)

4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Danbuster: I've had requests made for my good self - but lately I've had some much fan-art that my artist tends to ask for something of my friends. Makes good sense - I don't like them to feel left out! :XD:
Retsubnad: I've had a few requests made for my good self, too! :evileye:
Hydrex: Aye! And Pearl and me! :D
Pearl: Yup! Hydrex and I won't be seen apart! :hug:
Danbuster: Mind you, I'm also a main character in Flash cartoons.
Retsubnad: I still await my screentime... :paranoid:
Hydrex: Our artist has promised us all appearances in future Flashes and other random projects! ;)
*big silence*
Jube: Well, tanuki?
Winstanuki: I've not had any requests, but as Hydrex says I may appear in Flash someday... :hmm:


RANDOMIZE!
1) Is your character wanted for anything?
Danbuster: Not me! I'm a law-abiding citizen! :D
Retsubnad: I'm never wanted by anybody... unless it be to be thrown in jug!
Jube: Ah, you mean like "jugged hare"?
*Dan and Retsy blench*
Danbuster: Please! :disbelief:
Retsubnad: *grabs Jube's shirt-front* Never mention that revolting dish in our presence! :dohtwo:
Jube: *forcably relinquishes Retsy's hold on him* OK, point taken! :roll:
Winstanuki: I hope I may never be wanted for anything - but so long people continue to want to buy our tea, I won't mind! :)
Hydrex: I'm sure Eggman wants me at his mercy for the times I've given him a pounding...
Pearl: Yeah, and I once tried to kidnap me!

2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?
Danbuster: Ah, hmmm. Well... ^^;
Retsubnad: You, Danbuster, are truly hare-brained, crazy and extrememly clumsy! :evileye:
Danbuster: I knew I could count on you to say it, Retsy - you who have no imagination, is arrogant and also become a cringing coward in the worst comes to the worst! ;)
Retsubnad: What? How dare you! :X
Winstanuki: Let's be fair. I am a bit impervious to criticism sometimes. Also, I distrust strangers, especially foreign strangers, and I know next to nothing about anything not involving trade and business.
Hydrex: Er yeah... short temper, slightly poor intellegence and I don't know my own strength... a dangerous combination, apparanetly... ^^;
Pearl: I'm female, a slow runner and I'm small... which means people think they can take advantage!

3) Strengths?
Danbuster: That's easy! Speed, skill with sword, gun and bow, and a lively imagination! :D
Retsubnad: Well, you certainly can't fault me on my magical prowess, low cunning and high intelligence! :evileye:
Winstanuki: Errr... *counts off three on his fingers* Good business sense, shapeshifting and I'm calm in a crisis.
Hydrex: I'm an excellent swimmer, very strong and Pearl says I'm handsome! :D
Pearl: So you are! :aww:
Hydrex: Thanks, love!
Pearl: As for me? Errr, I'm a swimmer, a talented fisher and I have a good eye for a bargain when shopping. ;)

4) Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Danbuster: Only carrot-juice and that's not alcohol.
Retsubnad: Not unless I spike it with brandy when you're not looking, mweheh...
Danbuster: Oh, so that was your doing, was it? You sneaky villain!
Retsubnad: Thank you! :D
Winstanuki: I drink tea.
Hydrex: Nothing stronger than ginger beer for me.
Pearl: And neither of us smoke either!

5) What's one quirk about him/her?
Danbuster: Errr, insane sense of humour?
Retsubnad: My ambition to conquer the world, which, incidentally, is motivated purely from a desire to prove I am worth something!
Winstanuki: Perhaps my emotional detachment is unusual.
Hydrex: I'm a big tough guy that's shy around girls - well, particularly Pearl... :blushes:
Pearl: Awww! :smooch: I'm an independant girl, but I like blokes like Hydrex who are not too forward in their advances :aww:

6) Does your character have any phobias?
Danbuster: I'm scared of the dark.
Retsubnad: Pansy. :evileye:
Danbuster: Hey! You get scared too, you know! Like when some villain greater than you pops up? You're more than eager to side with us rather than be crushed under!
Retsubnad: Can I help it if I don't want to die before I've made my mark on this damn planet?
Winstanuki: I'm not scared, per se, but I do work to avoid losing to our business competitors.
Hydrex: We Rudderbucks don't scare easily, but I was scared for Pearl's safety when Eggman kidnapped her.
Pearl: I've only ever worried about Hydrex's safety in return.

7) What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Danbuster: Hurting or threatening my friends. That really riles me up!
Retsubnad: Thanks for the warning. I must be sure to avoid doing that then... :XD:
Danbuster: That doesn't usually stop you.
Retsubnad: Well, it can touch a nerve when people insult me or meddle in my plans - then I'm bound to do anything possible to prevent them from winning out over me!
Danbuster: I'm well aware of that. We're often at the receiving end... ^^;
Winstanuki: It takes a lot to send me into a blind rage. As you know by now, I'm a very easy-going phlegmatic person - but because I bottle it up, it really is a blind rage if I do lose my temper!
Hydrex: It's easy to get me going. Insult me, threaten Pearl or any of my friends, or destroy our natural habitat... I wouldn't advise doing anything like that. It might be the last mistake you ever make! :threaten:
Pearl: I'm with my husband on that one! ;)

8) Does your OC like chickens?
Danbuster: For pets or what? :XD: Nah, I'm a hare. I'm herbivorous! :D
Retsubnad: Again, for once, my brother and I are in agreement.
Winstanuki: I'll eat anything, so long as it's British food - chicken included.
Hydrex: No, not me! I only eat fish.
Pearl: And vegetables. We only eat fish-based dishes.
Hydrex: Yeah, that's right!


The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
Jube: Now this last question is for your artist to answer.

Daniel: Oh right... heh... ^^;
Danbuster - Yeah, he's like my alter-ego and online representative. We have a good working partnership!
Danbuster: Why, thank you, Dan! :)

Retsubnad - Well, despite his villainous ways, I must confess to growing quite attached to him. I feel sorry for him, having such a rotten past.
Retsubnad: You should! You wrote it into my character! :X

Winstanuki - He's only a one-off character, but very promising. I'm sure we'll get on just great! :)
Winstanuki: Oh, I say! Too kind, wot!

Hydrex - I made him for fun as a Sonic fan-character, but he's pretty cool! We're good buddies, and he's my agent in the Sonic world!
Hydrex: Booyah! Thanks, matey! :w00t:

Pearl - The perfect choice for a mate for Hydrex. She's a nice girl.
Pearl: Awww, thankee! :aww:

.: Epilogue :.

Jube: Right, OK! That'll do! You can go now!
Danbuster: Thanks! Well, I hope you enjoyed this, dear audience!
Hydrex: Righto! Anyone who's interested, can borrow this quiz.
Retsubnad: Oh better yet... ALL WHO READ THIS ARE AUTOMATICALLY TAGGED, SO THERE!! :mwahaha:

Well, I had to make 10 seperate plz accounts for this... the images are tiled icons of a bigger picture, which I seperated into 50x50 boxes with Adobe. ;)
Only trouble with making plz accounts, as I discover now, is that dA won't let you use the same email more than three times... so I had to use my other address and "borrow" Mum's two addresses briefly just to confirm each one... ^^;
Still the only purpose of a plz is to use the icons, so I don't expect to hear any more from them, except for calling up the image. :XD:
