Karakael sat, thoughtfully looking a the questionnaire Vara had requested he complete. It was long, but not unusual. Still, it was odd that she asked it to be filled out as an explanation to a Earthling. But he would do as she asked, just as always, uncomplaining.

Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name? I do believe that it is to long to type here. My former, shortened name was Hok'Ton Karakael z Karakit n Karun. But most of those titles no longer apply to me. I am now simply Karakael. Or 'Ton Karakael, if you wish to be formal - though I long ago was stripped of my title of 'Ton, and the Inquestoral rank that went with it.

2. Where and when were you born? As my name implies, I was born on the planet of Karun

3. Who are/were your parents? I do not even remember their names. But they are dead, gone, several thousand years ago. And I am glad.
They can no longer hurt me...
4. Do you have any siblings? Yes, but I honestly cannot remember. They lived, when I should have died. But I have certainly out lived them, and all their decedents.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
I live on Uran S'Varek, the planet that surrounds the black hole at the center of the galaxy of the Dispersal of Man. It is...it is to large for most to comprehend, much less describe. Sufficed to say, the sky is eternally a light green from the millions of suns that shine light upon the center of the galaxy; the horizons stretch to what seems like forever, destroying all perspective and dwarfing anything that mankind could build; there are chasms and flower-shaped cities and...well, the list goes on. It is a sight that must be seen to be believed.
My home is at the edge of the world - on the tip of the great edge of the opening which stars fall through to be consumed by the black hole beneath the surface of Uran S'Varek. The city may be desolate, but I share it with my battalion of child soldiers, lead by K'Viss, Sen and Tash. Normally only ten or twelve are awake at any given time, but the end count is closer to fifty.
My master is the Lady Vara, the founder of the Inquest and the current mindhostlove of the Darkling Wind - the computer that controls all of Uran S'Varek and shares consciousness with the black hole at its heart. She/it are not easy masters, but ones who I am indebted to and wish to please.

6. What is your occupation? Chief (and only) research and catalog-er of the Dispersal of Man. Since my jurisdiction covers both Uran S'Varek and all the billions of worlds that have been settled by humanity my work is never done, nor could it ever be complete.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Tch. I would prefer not to answer this question but...
Height: 185 cm. Weight: 110 kg. Race: Mongrel. Hair: originally dark; now gray
Eyes: Dark red. Dress: Varies according to culture studied. Normally 'casual' - loose, flowing, comfortable. Often dark tones, with preferences towards brown, black, dark red, green and blue. Similar Earth styles include Toga, Kimono, Pyjama, nude...always with a shimmercloak close at hand - even if disguised.
Distinguishing marks: Face - cloth/skin meld, rare. Body - various burn and graft scars, mostly faded.

8. To which social class do you belong? 'Ton

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Age. No non-treated allergy.

10. Are you right- or left-handed? Ambidextrous. Though different styles of writing are accomplished best with varying hands.

11. What does your voice sound like? Low Alto

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? 'Hmm' 'Tch' 'Interesting' 'I see' 'Atta Heng' [failed, translation unspecified x6]

13. What do you have in your pockets? I currently do not have pockets

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Several. Please consult attached psychological profile. Habit of note: Devils Advocacy [direct translation: 'Utopia Hunting']

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general? I would not. Tch. Must I answer this? Atta Heng, woman! Very, very short. And quite unpleasant. (To say the least)

16. What is your earliest memory? Hunger.

17. How much schooling have you had? My education continues to this day. But I spent a hundred years studying as an Inquestor.

18. Did you enjoy school? It was tolerable. But nothing like the 'school' of Earth.

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? As a child Inquestor, then as disgraced man, and finally during my current employment under the Throne of Madness.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? Lady Vara, my patron - then and now.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? As well as one would expect. Though I do not encourage raising ones children bellow the poverty line.

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? *pause* And Inquestor

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? Pretending I was an Inquestor.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? Stubbornness, and an unused talent for strategy.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? I had few friends, and I cannot remember them clearly.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss? When I left childhood and *voice breaks* [refer to attached psychological profile - specifically "Trauma"]

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? No. I find the obsession with virginity a rather sick and barbaric custom. As for the second question...See above answer.

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
Tch. See question 26. But I am not a 'supernatural being' any more than any other human gifted with long life.

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Oh for the - See answer to 26.

30. Who has had the most influence on you? Elloran

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement? The Fall of the Inquest. Even if I did not play the most important role.

32. What is your greatest regret? There are many. Still, I suppose it would be 'not having opened my eyes sooner'.

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? Becoming a monster simply because there needed to be one.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Yes.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened? See Answer 26

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? Hmm. Hard to say. Perhaps being turned into a child in one of the more recent viruses.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? I...I would ensure that my parents succeeded in killing me. Then I would not have had to suffer so.

38. What is your best memory? The second time I was challenged to Marguha by then 'Ton Elloran

39. What is your worst memory? *sigh* See answer 26

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? Pessimistic

41. What is your greatest fear? Returning to how I was before.

42. What are your religious views? There is nothing but darkness after death.

43. What are your political views? I doubt they are applicable to any Earthling concept of the word.

44. What are your views on sex? Why regulate or judge what a concenting adult or a group of concenting adults can or cannot do? Humans find the subject far to titillating for something that is a simple pastime.

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? Death resulting from defense of the self is not worth worrying about. And death upon a large scale is merely a sometimes unfortunate inevitability. In the larger universe a single human life means little, and should be treated as merely part of a greater engine.

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Harm a child.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Yes. But it is rare, and should not be impressed upon by what ever governments 'morality'.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life? Acceptance, Compassion, and Motivation.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? I try to be true to myself and those I trust and care about. Beyond that - it is merely information to use for ones own advancement.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? I attempt to avoid them, but I can be biased, sometimes tragically so.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? I will not harm a child. Because...well. See 26.

52.Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? I would die for a cause I believe is just, and little else.

Part 5: Relationships With Others

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Politely

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? I...Sirriss Because she showed me what I could be, not what was expected of me.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Elloran. He was all that I should have been, instead of what I was.

56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Many of the members of the community entitled "DramaDramaDuck" have become my 'friends'. But beyond that, none.

57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? No.

58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. I...do not know. If I ever was it was a long time ago, during the Inquest, and I have not felt that way since.

59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Someone who is thoughtful, who I can argue amicably with and who is intelligent enough to understand my explanations. And someone who would understand my 'quirks' - yet not accept them if they were harmful.

60. How close are you to your family? They are dead.

61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? I am physically incapable of having children of my own. Yet I have become close to the childsoldiers under my command. I do not wish to start my own family simply because I would never wish to have my lifestyle thrust upon someone else.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? *sigh* The Visitor.

63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Protect me? I have grown beyond needing protection. Yet...Vara. She protects me from myself, and from the wider, hostel universe. My childsoldiers duty is to protect me from any potential threats upon my life. But other than that? No one.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? I do not know. But I imagine: Vara, my 'children', The Visitor...and perhaps the community I belong to. Though not many there.

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? 'Ton Kelver. For being a fool and an incompetent, and above all for being worshiped now.

66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Avoid conflict. Though it depends on the definition of 'argue'.

67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Yes.

68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? As I have aged I find myself more and more drawn to smaller groups. But I have always preferred that.

69. Do you care what others think of you? Who does not? Though it bothers me far less now.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes

70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? I enjoy philosophical discussion and interacting with my children.

71. What is your most treasured possession? The second mask I wore.

72. What is your favorite color? Gray

73. What is your favorite food? [error: untranslatable similar usage as: rice, bread...]

74. What, if anything, do you like to read? Something that I do not have to analyze. History.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)? My children.

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Rarely, and it is normally related to my occupation.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? Normal weeks are not applicable to either my world or my occupation. Time off is random and often unexpected as decided by Lady Vara. I spend it as I wish.

78. What makes you laugh? Little.

79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you? Almost nothing. I have investigated almost every depravity possibly known to mankind, and been involved in quite a few myself. I have become accustomed to it.

80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? Think.

81. How do you deal with stress? Throw myself into my work, or relieve my tension by playing Devils Advocate and making people think.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? I tend to plan things out in advance. Spontaneity often 'gets me into trouble'.

83. What are your pet peeves? Pedophiles and fools.

Part 7: Self Images And Etc.

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? My 'daily' routine normally lasts for several Earth weeks, and often varies depending on my current assignment. It does not bother me, though I prefer to see all of my childsoldiers at least once when they are awake.

85. What is your greatest strength as a person? My compassion. [said sarcastically] Or the understanding that I have learned since.

86. What is your greatest weakness? Hypocrisy.

87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would be dead.

88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Here? Introverted.

89. Are you generally organized or messy? Organized.

90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Good:
1. Observation
2. Strategy
3. Mask Making
Poor:
1. Being a father
2. Forgetting/living without regret
3. positive thinking

91. Do you like yourself? Generally.

92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? I cannot say that I am an 'adventurer' in any traditional meaning of the word. And I doubt I could ignore my own morals long enough to become one.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? repaying for my mistakes

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Tch. Likely in front of this computer ten years have already passed in your one and a half.
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die? With honor, doing something I believed in - something that will make a difference. Being remembered afterward would be a nice bonus. pity being able to do it twice is unlikely

96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
1. Apologize
2. Say good bye
3. Jump

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
My end.

98. What three words best describe your personality? lonely, hidden and watchful

99. What three words would others probably use to describe you? Mask, strange, thoughtful

100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...)
"Its okay. You're who you are, and that's enough. It always has been."

[I, the mun, reserve the right to change this information ((especially the bit about the red eyes)) should new information come to light or be remembered]
