OC Interview with the Fletcher brothers!
A little introduction to three of the Fletcher brothers - Louis, Norman and Elijah! They need a little fleshing out so here we go:
1: What is your name?
Louis: Louis, pleased to meet you! Norman: Norman. Elijah: I'm Elijah...how do you do?
2. Do you know why you were named that? Louis: Well, I guess our parents just liked the names, huh?
3. Are you single or taken? Louis: Happily married to my lovely Ruby~ Norman: Single. Elijah: I'm single, too...
4. Have any abilities or powers? Louis: Powers? What are you on about? Norman: Not that I'm aware of. Elijah: I'm not sure what you mean...
5. What's your eye color? Louis: Green, like my mother's! Norman: Green, too. Elijah: Ah, I take after dad. Mine are blue.
6. How about hair color? Louis: Blonde, like dad's. Funny that~ Norman: White. Our mother had white hair. Elijah: Mine, too. Louis's the only one who took after dad in that respect. 7. Have any family members?
Louis: Well, we've got each other. Then there's Charles, and his fiance Hailey! And of course dad. Mum died a while back. We don't really like to talk about it too much.
8. Oh? How about pets?
Louis: I want a dog. Ruby wants a cat. We'll probably compromise and get a cat.
Norman: I'm not really a fan of animals.
Elijah: I have a rabbit. Her name's Polly. After mum.
9. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Louis: Boring people. Like Norman.
Norman: Obnoxious people. Like Louis. Elijah: I don't like fighting...
10. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Louis: I enjoy horse riding - polo is fun! Ruby taught me how to play, she's very good.
Norman: I like to read. Alone, in peace.
Elijah: Um...puzzles are fun?
11. Have you ever hurt anyone in anyway before?
Louis: I bust Norman's nose when we were kids once. Hah, you should've seen it! Norman: I'll break yours. Elijah: I don't like fighting!
12. Ever... killed anyone before?
All three: No!
13. What kind of animal are you?
Louis: What, do we get to pick? Something flashy, like a peacock? Norman: These questions are getting ridiculous. Elijah: Dad says I'm like my rabbit sometimes...
14. Name your worst habits?
Louis: I suppose I talk too much sometimes? Though it does well in court... Norman: You definitely do. I suppose I have a tendency to judge people too quickly. I can't help it, I can read anyone. Elijah: Ah, I'm kind of shy...I avoid talking to people sometimes...
15. Do you look up to anyone at all? Louis: I think we all look up to dad. He's done a lot for us, and he doesn't get enough credit, you know?
16. Gay, straight, or bisexual? Louis: Straight, of course! I have my wife~ Norman: I'm not sure that's anyone's business? Elijah: Ah...I don't know? I haven't really met anyone I like...
17. Do you go to school? Louis: God, I'm far too old for that! So's Norman, hah! Norman: *sigh Elijah: I'm in university right now. I'm studying mathematics.
18. Ever wanna marry and have kids one day? Louis: I'm already married, but I really want kids! Norman: I don't think it's for me. I like being alone. Elijah: How do you get married when you're afraid of people?
19. Do you have fangirls/fanboys? Louis: Oh, the ladies can't keep their eyes off me! Norman: You really are a piece of work. Elijah: I doubt it. 20. What are you most afraid of?
Louis: Hm...I hate losing in court, if that counts? Norman: That's a secret. Elijah: People? Bugs? Crowds? It's hard to pick just one...
21. What do you usually wear? Louis: I love colourful clothes and tailored suits! Ruby has the best eye for fashion~ Norman: I like simple suits. Nothing too flashy. I'm not Louis. Elijah: I like vests and sweaters. Comfortable clothes...
22. What class are you? (low class, middle class, high class) Louis: I think we're quite middle class, right? We all have decent jobs or education, anyway...
23. How many friends do you have?
Louis: Lots! But I'd say Leo is my best friend, do you know him? I want to get to know Hailey better, too - he seems like an interesting fellow! Norman: I don't really have any friends, I don't think. I don't mind it. Elijah: I have a couple of friends at university, but I'm not very good at socialising, so I find it hard to talk to new people...
24. Favorite drink?
Louis: Champagne! Norman: Whiskey. Elijah. Tea, please!
25. Are you interested in anyone~?
Louis: I only have eyes for Ruby! Norman: *silence Elijah: No, not really.
26. What's your type?
Louis: Pretty daughters of jewellers who should be way out of my league? Norman: *silence
Louis: I think he likes mysterious Spanish ladies who might be demons-- Elijah: I don't know if I have a type? I'll know when I know, I suppose.
27. Camping or indoors?
Norman: You wouldn't catch any of us outdoors like that.
Character Partner Interview (Charles)
Pinched from xXSweeneyLovettXx ! 1. Answer as your character. 2. The interview can be answered by any type of character (original, fan-made e.t.c). 3. Feel free to answer the optional questions below within the interview.
Hello, Charles.
How are you doing?
Let's begin.
Who is your partner? Tell us a bit about them. Hailey! He's amazing. He's about the same age as me, and he's so cool. He might look like he's not up to much, but you shouldn't underestimate him! I love him a lot.
How did you meet, and how did you get together? We met when I joined Black Well - him and Clark saved me from another gang I was in at the time. We were friends for ages before Hailey finally made a move (haha)! It just kind of happened one day, and I'm really glad it did.
What is your partner's best physical feature? Hm...I love how tall he is. Makes me feel real safe when I'm around him. Tall guys are kind of my thing...
Name one hobby or passion of theirs. He's really interested in, well, torture, I guess? He's got all these really interesting tools, he knows a lot of ways to make people talk when they don't want to. He does good work for Black Well - I know it sounds kind of brutal but he's good at what he does! He likes going on walks, too, sometimes he just goes off on his own to clear his head -- I don't like to bother him when he needs his space...
Name one thing you like about their personality. Hailey's pretty protective of me, and I love that. I've never really had anyone who stood up for me like Hailey does, it's nice.
Name one thing you dislike about their personality. I guess sometimes he's a bit closed off? Like, he doesn't always tell me what he's thinking, and I'd like it if he opened up a bit more sometimes. I do worry about him when he gets too in his head.
What is something you absolutely love about them? He's really handsome, haven't you noticed? I've thought that from the first day I met him. You'll probably not see it, but when we're alone he's so sweet with me, I can hardly stand it~
What is something you absolutely cannot stand about them? I don't think there's anything I can't stand about Hailey! I guess I could do without the graphic descriptions of what he's done to some poor guy that day over dinner...
Is your partner the romantic type? Do you want them to be? I think he is! Maybe not as openly as some people are, but I don't mind about that. His romantic side is more subtle, in the way he looks after me, and the things he says and does when we're alone. He buys me meaningful gifts, and he stands up for me and helps me be a stronger person. I don't need him to be typically romantic, he's fine as he is.
What makes them special to you personally? He saved me. I can't say it much better than that.
How much do you think your partner loves you? I think he loves me a lot! I mean, he wants to marry me, he calls me his wife, and we can't spend enough time together. Even if he finds it hard to say, I know he thinks it. <3
Do you want to be with them for the rest of your life? Do you think you will be? Yes! And yes! I'm not leaving him, and I won't let him leave me, either!
How are they in bed? Do you enjoy the sexual side of your relationship? Or do you not want to talk about it? Wh-what kind of a question is that? I mean, Hailey is...well, he's something else. But I'm not going to talk about that here!
What is your partner's family like? What do they think of you? I've never met Hailey's family, and I don't think I want to, either. I'm not a very violent person, but I don't think I'd be able to help myself if I did. I doubt they'd like me very much anyway, ha. Fine by me. I'll make my family his so he never has to feel rejected again.

Another bit of character bio, this time on the leader of Berlin's gang Faust - Oscar Dalton! 1. Full Name: Oscar Dalton 2. Meaning for name: None really. 3. Do they like their name?: He's got no issues with it in particular. 4. Nickhame: I don't think he has any...? 5. Age: 42 (in 1914) 6. How old he appears: About as old as he is, maybe a little older, due to the scars on his face and what-have-you. 7. Eye colour: Blue 8. Glasses?: No 9. Weight/build: Average build, not hugely muscular but looks quite strong. 10. Height: Average height. About 5'10? 11. Skin type: Pale skin, scars. 12.

Likes long coats and dark colours. 14.Healthy?: Not really. Doesn't care about what he eats, drinks and smokes excessively. 15. Music: Doesn't really care about music. 16. Daredevil or Cautious: Daredevil, 100%. He's a total lunatic, with no boundaries, no care for what could happen if he acts recklessly. Rarely thinks before he acts. 17. Are they the same alone?: Pretty much, he's an angry individual. 18. Good habits: Not sure he has any lmao. 19. Bad habits: Quick to anger, violent, rude, completely heartless. Takes advantage of those weaker than him, happy to use anyone if it benefits him. 20. Hobbies: Drinking. Visiting brothels. Fighting. Hunts vampires as a side job. 21. Family situation: Mother died when he was a teenager, father walked out on them when he was barely a child. Has a sister in an institution he visits frequently. Gets very defensive over her, but rarely speaks about or tells anyone about her. 22. Friend situation: Hard to call them friends, but a lot of the men in Faust do like him. His closest friends are Mikhail and Lutz. (And Dallas.) 23. Deepest Fear: Being powerless. Losing control. 24. Worst thing that could happen to him: Losing Faust, or his sister. 25. Favourite thing: Faust. A good fight. 26. Favourite person/role model: He loves his sister, and admires Dallas. 27. What would break them: Again, losing Faust/having power taken from him. If anything happened to his sister. 28. Best/Worst thing in their life: Best thing - his gang. Worst thing - having to report to first Vivace, then eventually Black Well. 29. What they are reluctant to tell people: About his sister and her situation: he mainly doesn't like to talk about it because he doesn't want to be seen as weak for caring. Also doesn't want anyone to know about his relationship with Dallas. 30. Opinion on sex/relationships: Fully believes in doing whatever the heck you want. Doesn't judge Mikhail for being homosexual and makes sure his men know not to judge, but will still make jokes. He's pretty open about his own sex life, unless it's about him and Dallas lmao. 31. Major flaws: Reckless and violent. Doesn't really care about anyone but himself. MAJOR issues with his pride: everything he does revolves around his ego, and it's led him into trouble more than once. Doesn't stop him from doing it again. 32. How do they feel about themselves: He's confident and sure of himself, but deep down he's actually really lacking. He doesn't even realise himself how insecure he is. He's got some pretty bad abandonment issues too. 33. Selfish or selfless: Selfish, completely. It's rare that he'll go out of his way for anyone - especially if there's nothing in it for him. 34. How does the way he acts differ from how he really is?: Doesn't differ much - he's an arse, through and through. He's got insecurities and issues but he's buried them so far under layers of spite and ego that they never really show. He just comes across as a horrible person.

1. Okay, first question: what’s your name, age, and gender?
My name is Mikhail. 35, and male!
2. How would you describe yourself, personality-wise?
I'd say I'm quite laid-back, really. I try not to let things get the better of me, but I care a lot for the people around me. I'd do anything for an easy life, so I'm pretty forgiving.
3. What’s a typical day like for you?
Every day is different when you're in a gang like Faust! But really, I spend most of my day looking after Oscar's men -- as their doctor I spend a lot of time cleaning up their injuries and what-have-you. It's always eventful, to say the least--
4. How do you wind down at the end of the day? Do you even wind down?
My 'end of the day' is always different, but it's usually in the early hours of the morning. I like to read, especially when Friedrich is asleep next to me.
5. What is your earliest memory?
Most of my childhood is a bit of a blur, if I'm honest. I remember playing with my older sister a lot when I was very small. She always looked out for me.
6. What is/was your relationship with your parents?
I didn't see much of them. I grew up in a good household, but my parents travelled a lot. We had servants, who were sometimes more like my real parents than anyone else.
7. What do you do when you’re bored?
Bother Friedrich! I like to play with his cat, too.
8. Do you regret anything you’ve done?
I regret a lot of things. I've killed for Oscar, which I really don't enjoy doing. I hate fighting, so I avoid it as much as I possibly can.
9. Do you dress to be functional or fashionable?
A bit of both? I like to dress nicely but not so much that it limits my work. Nice clothes don't look as nice covered in blood, you know?
10. Who are your best friends? How did you meet them?
Oscar Dalton is my closest friend. He saved me from a life in a workhouse a good few years back. I owe him my life!
11. Have any siblings? If so, what is your relationship?
I have an older sister. We were always very close. She took good care of me when my parents were around, but after she got married and moved away I didn't see much more of her. I don't know where she is now, but I hope she's well.
12. What is your job? Is it tiring or difficult?
My job is of course as Faust's doctor -- I'd be lying if I said it was easy! Most of Oscar's men love to fight -- and don't get me started on all of Friedrich's injuries...
13. When you’re going through a rough time, do you seek help or consolation from others?
I tend to keep to myself. I don't like to burden people with my problems -- especially when it's my job to take care of everyone.
14. How easy is it for others to gain your trust?
I trust quite easily! I'd like to think that being in a gang has made me a good judge of character. I think?
15. What is your sexuality, if you don’t mind me asking?
I like men, if that's what you want to know? Has all my talk of Friedrich not made that obvious?
16. Do you have a significant other? What are they like?
Friedrich!! I love him a lot. He's not like anyone else in Faust -- he might be Oscar's best hitman but he's actually very sweet -- you should see him with all the stray cats that hang around outside!
17. Have you ever lost a loved one?
My parents died when I was a teenager, but I never really knew them if I'm honest. Can I really say I loved them?
18. How often do you act on impulse? Does it ever backfire?
I'd like to think I'm actually quite level-headed. I have to be, when most of Faust are irrational, stubborn and hotheaded men. I like to think things through before I do them. It's too easy to lost everything with one mistake, don't you think?
19. Do you believe in ghosts?
Of course not. Friedrich is so superstitious, but it's just not logical!
20. How about aliens?
It makes more sense than ghosts, but until I see it, I won't believe.
21. What traits do you value the most in others?
Loyalty! More than anything, people who stick around are important. Everything else is just a bonus.
22. Do you dream often? What are your dreams like?
Quite straightforward, really! I dream about Friedrich a lot. And my sister. I do miss her.
23. Are you a light or heavy sleeper? Do you sleep in?
I'm quite a heavy sleeper. Someone always has to wake me up, or I could just lie around all day. Once I'm awake though I find it hard to go back to bed!
24. Okay, this is a bit personal, but… Have you ever (uh) “done the do”?
Please, we're all adults. Of course.
25. Do you have any pets?
I don't, but Friedrich has a cat he snuck in called Lilie, so she kind of feels like my pet too!
26. Ever been drunk before? How often do you drink?
Of course I've been drunk! I don't like to drink myself into a state too often, but I do like to drink with Oscar and some of the other men. Nothing wrong with that!
27. Are you respectful to authority figures?
That depends. I respect people, but authority figures like...the police? I guess not...
28. What kinds of movies do you like you watch?
I can't say I've seen one!
29. Do you have any guilty pleasures?
I like baking, but it's not really appreciated by gang fellows, so I rarely do it. Friedrich appreciates it, though.
30. What would you say is the happiest memory of your life?
When I kissed Friedrich for the first time! (Have I mentioned him enough yet?)
31. How about your worst memory?
Losing my home? Losing my job? Being stuck in that workhouse? I have a few, but I don't like to talk about it too much. I'm not one for feeling sorry for myself.
32. What did you aspire to be when you were young? Did that dream change as you grew up?
I always wanted to be a doctor. I spent a lot of time studying when I was young, and I always had a strange interest in medical science, the human body, and so on. I don't think it's ever changed. I've always wanted to help people, and one way or another I've managed to do just that.
33. How far would you be willing to go to get what you want?
I might be in a gang, but I don't like to resort to violence to get my way. I've learned there are better ways to persuade people.
34. What is sure to ruin your day?
Rain. I hate rain.
35. Do you have any nervous habits?
I play with my hair a lot. It's always sticking up all over the place, no matter what I do.
36. Play video games often?
Play what now?
37. What kind of things do you laugh at?
I love a good joke. Do you know any? Cats making fools of themselves always cheer me up.
38. Favorite genre of music?
I love classical music. Mozart, what have you. Anything that helps me relax.
39. What do you think your spirit animal would be if you had one?
I've been told I'm like a teddy bear, though I know that's not a real animal. Ha.
40. Have an accent of any kind?
I grew up in Germany, but my family was Russian, so I grew up speaking the language. I don't use it very often now, but my accent is still there sometimes. Otherwise, it's a strange mix of that and German.
41. Chess or checkers?
Chess!
42. Do you feel sentimentality toward a particular object?
I don't really get attached to too many things. People, memories, those are what I treasure most.
43. Are you generally pretty secretive, or are you an open book?
Though I'd like to consider myself open, I feel like I hide a lot from people. I'm honest when it matters, but I don't like to be too emotional with anyone else but Friedrich--
44. What are you most embarrassed about?
Losing my job was a big embarrassment for me. I know it wasn't my doing, but it still bothers me.
45. What are your deepest fears?
Dying alone. I'd hate that.
46. How desperate would you have to be to lie to, steal from, injure, or murder another person? Do you do any of those things regularly?
I don't do these things regularly, but I'll do them if Oscar needs me too. Especially if it means Friedrich doesn't have to, for a change.
47. Do you have any scars? How did you get them?
I don't have as many as some of the men of Faust, but I have a few from fights, nothing too big or unusual.
48. Say someone has mistreated you in some form. Would you immediately loose your temper, hold a grudge, or simply let it go?
I try to let things go. It doesn't do you any good to dwell on things. If it didn't kill you, or hurt someone you love, why worry?
49. How do you deal with physical and mental pain?
I deal with physical pain better than the mental side. I've been dealt some bad hands in my life that have left worse scars than any knife or bullet.
50. What is your ideal place to live?
I'd hate to sound ungrateful for what Oscar has done for me, but I'd love to live away from the bad end of Berlin, in a nice big house where I could give Friedrich everything he deserves. I love the city, and I'd love to enjoy it more.
51. What was your childhood like?
It was fine. As I've said, I grew up with money and wanted for nothing, but money isn't everything. My sister was around, but I didn't really have any friends, or love from my parents. I was alone often, studied often, and didn't leave much time for fun. It's a mixed bag.
52. What is your favorite kind of weather?
I love the sun. I love to be warm, and the sun just improves my mood tenfold. I hate clouds, and I hate rain.
53. How important to you is friendship? What about romance?
Both are equally important! I would rather have a good relationship and good friends than all the money in the world. We all need company, whether we care to admit it or not.
54. Have any disabilities, weaknesses, or allergies?
Not really! I'm quite healthy, surprisingly.
55. What’s your favorite thing to eat?
Anything Friedrich makes. Sometimes we get time alone together and he cooks for me. He's better at it than I thought -- but then, I suppose, he was a butler for a while. He must have picked up some skills along the way...
56. Do you have kids? If not, do you picture yourself ever having them?
I don't know that I'd make a good parent. I think I'd worry too much. Of course I don't have any children!
57. How well can you sing?
Not very. I like to - but only when I'm drunk!
58. Are you particularly confident? Does your confidence level change if less people are around?
I'm confident in my ability as a doctor first and foremost. I'm happy around people and I find I'm the center of attention more often that I'd like, but I don't hate it like Friedrich does.
59. Do you like shopping?
I do!
60. How do you interact with strangers?
I like to talk to people. I'm good at starting conversation -- I think that probably comes from my job, dealing with patients. There's a lot of personalities in Faust, so you have to get used to being around people like that, you know?
61. Have you ever been betrayed by someone you loved?
Not that I know of!
62. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I think I'd like to worry a little less. Or, I'd like to be a bit more open about my feelings, but I'm always afraid I'll just burden people if I talk about my concerns too much...
63. If you could meet anyone from the past or future, who would it be?
I don't have an answer for that one!
64. If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?
To meet my sister, to stay with Friedrich as long as possible, and to find a way out of this gang and to a more comfortable life (don't tell Oscar I said that).
65. Do you like attention?
From Friedrich I do. Otherwise, I'm fine.
66. Are you glad I’ve run out of questions to ask?
I was getting a little tired!
