Meme- Jenny Marx's Survey

This thingy dates from the 1860s and was written by Jenny Marx, Karl Marx's daughter. She sent it to her exciting communist pals to fill out, apparently for the sheer fun of it.Here's the answers of a few of my Doll characters from Dun Elisedd, if we assume/pretend we could get them to answer these.

Answers for Kevya, my IH Barron hybrid.

The quality you like best in a man:
Integrity. Honesty, character and keeping his word.

The quality you like best in a woman:
Kindness.

Your chief characteristic:
People say I'm dangerous.

Your idea of happiness:
A hillside by the sea, a flock to watch after, and no wolves coming. Either that, or a windy afternoon out in the forest with Lir, hunting.

Your idea of misery:
The cell on the island of Rilvomar where I spent so many years chained and treated like an animal.

The vice you detest the most:
Sadism.

The vice you excuse the most:
Cowardice. Some things are too much to ask anyone to face.

Your chief aversion:
I don't like chains, or being tied up.

Your favourite literary or historical character:
Athero made the peace with Elisedd, the first King.

Your favourite occupation:
Being Lir's Guard.

Your favourite writer:
Ian has been writing down some old Verdani stories.

Your favourite flower:
Crocus. It blooms in the snow.

Your favourite colour:
Blue

Your favourite dish:
Lamb stew and Verdani flat bread

Your favourite motto:
Serve

Answers for Prince Lir, my Soom Lupin

The quality you like best in a man:
Honesty. The air is so thick with ulterior motives around here I could cut it with a knife.

The quality you like best in a woman:
Patience, and a tolerance for my idiosyncracies.

Your chief characteristic:
I like to hope I am thoughtful.

Your idea of happiness:
An evening by the fire with a good book or a fine story, good music, and close friends around.

Your idea of misery:
I felt rather sorry for myself when I came home to find my family gone and our homeland so ravaged, but I've also seen the state of things further south, like on Rilvomar, and the condition of rampant crime and slavery there was horrifying.

The vice you detest the most:
A hunger for power over other men. The man who wants power is the man who least deserves to have it. Heh, I guess that bodes well for my own reign.

The vice you excuse the most:
Cowardice. I agree with Kevya- Some things are just horrible, and you can't fault a man for simply not being able to face them.

Your chief aversion:
Seeing others in pain or in trouble. I have to help as much as I can, I can't leave them like that.

Your favourite literary or historical character:
Elisedd, my famous ancestor and the founder of my Royal Lineage. He built this castle I call home.

Your favourite occupation:
Learning. I love to read.

Your favourite writer:
Cadogan the Chronicler wrote some of our better histories.

Your favourite flower:
My mother had a rose garden, and even after she was gone the servants kept it up. It made Father happy to see her roses bloom every year.

Your favourite colour:
Green

Your favourite dish:
Almond pudding

Your favourite motto:
Knowledge is the key to the world.

Incompetence. I have no use for useless people.

 Better pics will be forthcoming, but since Blogspot has gone and changed everything around I will need time to get those pics ready anyhow.

Name: Davan
From the Court of Dun Elisedd storyline

Type: Iplehouse Taregan Elemental Guardian Fullset (Split) Superhero Body, Mobility Jointed, Lt Brown skin.

Birthday/arrival: March 2012

Wig: Handspun wool by me, needs replacing with a better one. I need to find some handspun or something like it in thinner form.

Eyes: default Glib acrylic, currently. Also mean to replace these, but every pair I get is too yellow or too orange. I need golden honey colored eyes!

Customization: just blushing and faceup by me.

Location: He's the antagonist of my Dun Elisedd story, the one person Kevya hates more than anything, and the man Lir recused Kevya from.

Likes: women, fine wine, wealth, efficiency, arcane arts and magic, power in any worthy form

Dislikes: foolish people who try to stand up to him or think he is stupid. Being dirty- he's almost comically fastidious about his personal cleanliness.

Personality: Merciless, calm, sadistic, imperturbable, cruel, hedonistic, possessive. A pleasure seeker. He has a driving need to dominate or destroy anyone or anything he decides to own.

Relationships: As to his love life, there are various women he has had his way with and cast aside when they no longer pleased him. He has no family, nor friends per se so much as allies and employees.


Any additional info/backstory: He is the person who enslaved Kevya and made him into a fighter for the arena games. He more or less governs his own small island, a hub of trade and commerce of every kind including slave markets. He dabbles in magic and uses it to mess with people or punish those who he feels deserve it. He knows Kevya better than anyone else alive, having spent many an hour toying with his slave's mind.
