Alright, well, yesterday I sent out several interviews and received an AMAZING response, so thank you all! Those of you who were interviewed will receive your 15 minutes of fame but as a bit of a "thank you" to our more frequent readers.. this time out the first responders (old and new) will get their interviews up first.
But never fear, if I sent you an interview it means you may be spotlighted next week, or the week after. I picked our batch of interviewees with the thought that they were 'pires the City would like to get to know better -- whether unknown or well-known.
Take a Bite out of...
1. How long have you been in the City?
A little bit over a year now, properly that is; I was little more than ghetto trash up until about March last year though. And despite my chisel grooved features and obvious charisma I’ve pretty much kept to myself.
2. What powers do you have? (Both in-game and otherwise)
I finally gained full Power in February this year… erm… other than that, do Phenomenal powers of seduction count? It’s the accent, I swear
3. Have you ever been clanned? If so, please provide a list of clan names and your position and length of time in each.
The dutiful Childer that I is I followed King Lestat into L’Inconnu. ^.^
4. How many wars have you participated in?
Zilch, mores the pity…
5. Have you ever been zeroed? If so, by whom and how many times?
Zilch…
6. How did you come into the City?
Originally I’m from Australia. I was in LA on a, ahem, a ‘business deal’, yeah. Anyway it went bad. Real bad. Turns out it wasn’t grade A smack that was up for sale, it was me. I spent the first few months of my unlife as my makers bitch boy and general pin-cushion… One night I woke up and he was gone, killed by hunters I guessed. That started my life proper here, rough as it was; predictably I ended up in the ghettos…
7. Who do you consider your greatest inspirations, mentors, and friends?
Definitely by far my biggest influence and guiding force has been Lyric. She convinced me to start powering up, hammered into me the idea that I was somehow worth it, slapped me around a bit, kept me poised in a state of abject terror, that kind of thing.
She introduced me to my current Sire, King Lestat, whos granted me a wealth of mechanical knowledge and support.
Uriah and Labyrinth would be two other names of note. And of course, my bind-partner Gylliyan.
8. What do you think your greatest accomplishments are in the City so far?
I’ve managed to go 12 months as Lyrics student and I’m still alive <.<
Seriously though, getting the fuck out of the ghettos.
9. How about partners, lovers, or relationships? (For the older pire, how do you suggest meeting the right person for you, for younger, how did you meet your partner or lover?)
Oh erm… Ah… *Wences and panics* Too many! I was a bad, bad ghetto-spawn for a long, long time…
As far as Lovers go there’s only three that I’d care to mention; believe it or not I pursued (successfully) Anuk-Su-Namun for a while but, eh, honestly I didn’t think I was worthy of someone like that so I let it go.
The 08 Spring Auctions sparked a romance with one Velvet Kiss that sparked, flamed and died in the arse in around 3 months.
Later that year I joined the Spring Auctions and met the Vampiress Gylliyan… Fell WAY, WAY in love with her and consequently we’re now blood bound. Sorry ladies… the Raph is off the market.
10. How many sires have you had? (For older pires, how do you suggest finding the right sire for you? For younger, how did you meet your sire, if applicable?)
My first was Jocelyn; sadly though I paid for my severance from her when it looked like she wasn’t coming back. I don’t care what anyone else says; I will miss that Vampiress terribly!
Regardless, not long afterwards, Lyric introduced me to her bind-partner to be, and vouched for me as a prospective childer. I took him up on the offer. I have not looked back since.
11. For younger pires-- what do you want to learn and accomplish in your time in the City?
You know… When I first decided I wanted to make something of myself, I set my sights relatively low and modest.
Heh, I remember at the time I was really cynical and I came up with this theory called the ‘D.F.F. Cycle’, wherein there are only three things to actually do in Ravenblack city; Drink, Fight and Fuck.
Anyway, one of my goals was try and break that cycle. I don’t know If I have quite yet, but honestly all I’ve ever wanted was is to know where I stood in the city, know who and what I was in relation to others.
I’ve done that; I have a Sire I admire and that I am loyal to, a Bind-Partner that compliments me on every level, a place in a Clan I’m honoured to be part of.
And a name I am starting to become more and more proud of.
12. Anything else to add for the readers who are “Taking a Bite” out of you?
Add salt *nods* I taste better with salt.
Up next.. a vintage little lady by the name of xaxxa..
(Edit: Sorry. The red and blue was fucking with my eyes. I was getting a weird 3D effect. >.<)
