1. What is your character's name?
Clavis Umbrium, the Fire Volume. Also goes by "Rhys Lattimore."

Like an old book. In human form, a man in his thirties.

An alternate reality England.

4. How old is he/she?
Several centuries. Definitely.

5. What time period does he/she live in?

9. What types of clothes does he/she wear?
Typical mid-1920s fashion. Mostly suits--sometimes of Oxford tweed.

What pajamas? Well, if he doesn't want to offend anybody, he wears cotton or flannel.

11. What is his/her favorite book?
Saying will just spoil the fun.

12. What is his/her favorite song/music genre?
Classical, especially by the romantic composers. The moodier, the better.

13. How often does your character shower/brush his/her teeth?
At least once a day.

14. When was the last time he/she went out on a date?
About a week before the start of the story. He doesn't turn down a woman, especially if she knows that he's only in it for the fun, not the long term.

15. Does he/she have allergies/asthma/some strange disease or susceptibility to disease?
In book form, possibly rot caused by mold and mildew.

16. Does he/she play an instrument?
No.

17. Does he/she collect items?
Not exactly...

18. Does he/she have any friends?
Not really.

19. If you could place your person in a high school, which groups would he/she "click" with?
He's the kind of guy your mother would warn you about. You know, a bad boy.

20. What hair styles does your character have?
Slightly curled and slightly longer than current fashion. He looks like he needs a haircut. Badly.

21. If your character got lost in a forest, what would he/she do?
Perform a spell to get unlost.

22. If your character got flicked off by someone, what would he/she do?
Fume. Possibly make a sarcastic comment in an intent to hurt.

23. If your character was asked out on a date by a random person, what would he/she do?
Accept if he didn't already have a date planned. Otherwise, he'd give a charming smile and say, "Probably some other time."

24. Does your character have any phobias?
No irrational ones.

25. Does your character have a job/profession?
Antiques appraiser.

26. Is your character a morning person, or a late-night person?
A grimoire doesn't need sleep.

27. If your character met you, what would he/she say/do?
He'd find me boring, but try to convince me (the author) to write something interesting for him to do.

28. When is your character's birthday?
It's currently unknown.

29. What habits does your character have?
None.

30. How would a character in your book who does not like this character describe him/her?
Single-minded. Domineering. Stubborn. Sadistic. Unscrupulous opportunist.

So...How did you do? Do you know your character well?
All the questions I answered "none" to is more of like an "I don't know" or "I don't care because it won't be relevant to the story."
