Kind of late to the party. The comic isn't exactly in any readable form yet, still storyboarding the pilot chapter, but I'll use this thread to find a better sense of my characters.

CATMA

The cat faced boy on the left is Catma, the one on the right is Jill.

1. What is your full name?
Catma: Just Catma!
Jill: I hate saying it, but my last name is Strudel - it sounds lame.

6. What is your occupation?
Catma: Call me a hunter! Well, I hunt people, the naughty ones that terrorise people with their powers and all.
Jill: I work at a cafe called 'A'Cuppa' - it's a terrible sounding name, I sometimes wonder what was going through the founder's mind. Anywho, my parents aren't too happy about me working there, they want me to go to college.

8. To which social class do you belong?
Catma: What's that?
Jill: Middle Class, though I feel like a queen as things are.

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Catma: Well, I don't remember too much, I'd say it was just like everyone else's. I do remember feeding this one dog though while I was sleeping on a bench at some park.
Jill: Terribly average

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Catma: A lot of fellow hunters, but mostly from the Workshop leader, Father Catma.
Jill: There was an English teacher back in high school that taught me a lot of things - I was surprised at the amount of stuff she could do, despite being an English teacher.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
Catma: You remember that dog I was feeding at the park? At one point, I had to leave 'cos of a few guys that were trying to chase me. I never got the chance to see that dog off for the last time, and I'm still not sure where he is. I think about it every now and then.
Jill: I would change to working night shifts - that would mean I didn't have to meet that idiot Catma and go along with his adventures.

38.What is your best memory?

Shanti: When I met Sekhmet's eyes for the first time.

---

39.What is your worst memory?

Shanti: When Sekhmet made me shoot her.

Sekhmet: I don't wanna talk about it.

Part 4: Beliefs and Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

Shanti: Definitely optimistic. I'm an idealist.

Sekhmet: Neither one. I'm a realist.

[aspiderjonny]

I have two superhero comics, The J-Man (Top) and The Valve (bottom). Seeing as there's a lot of questions already posted, I'll just answer 2-3 from each part for both characters. Let's go!

Part 1: The Basics

1. What is your full name?

J-Man: Jonathan (Jonny) Henry Regionson Jr.
Valve: Valentina Deanna Mobela

2: When and where were you born?

J-Man: 15 years ago on October 12th, in Rego Park, Queens, NY
Valve: 15 years ago on March 16th, in Northgate, Seattle, WA

3. Who are/were your parents? Names, occupations, personalities, etc.

J-Man: Well, my father, Jon Sr., is the police captain of Precinct 13 in Midtown Manhattan. He's pretty much a workaholic, but he always tried to make time for me when I was little. He used to tell me about his cases, but he hasn't done that in years. Not sure what happened, but he has no idea that all the crime in the city is being run by some mysterious Big-Man. That's probably why he's so over worked. I intent to find and expose this Big-Man.

My mom, Liz, used to be a taxi driver. And she's really big on cars (but I have super speed, so I don't really need them). She's less of a stick in the mud then my dad, and I probably got my humor from her, but there are times when I feel like she's hiding stuff too.

Valve: My brother, PG, has been taking care of me sine our mother died 5 years ago. He's a personal trainer and fitness instructer at the gym next to our apartment in Lower Queen Anne. He's very serious about self defensive, but you should see him on his off days. He's such a wild card. My mom was a plane operator at the airport, making sure the planes had a safe landing. She alwasy knew what to say when I was felling blue.

I'd rather not talk about my father right now.

Part 2: Growing Up

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

J-Man: From hearing all the awesome adventures my dad told, I wanted to be a cop, putting the evil doers away. I'm kinda doing that now, just ya'know, in a green jumpsuit with a cyborg teddy bear and technically on the illegal side.

Valve: Since middle school, I've been fascinated by the past and wanted to be a historian of any kind. Being with the Officers of Light, I'm learning about this whole supernatural history I never knew about. It's quite exhilarating.

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?

J-Man: WOAH! HEY! That's a personal question, and I only just started Junior year of High School. I am a virgin, you werido. But honestly, I have more important stuff to worry about, like whether or not I'm going to die this afternoon.

Valve: blushes Excuse me?! I am, but the time will come when it's right, I suppose.

Part 3: Past Influences

31.What do you consider your greatest achievement?

J-Man: Rescuring Sleepy Bear from his creator Dr. Mechtavias. He was close to leaving the world forever but I convinced him to stay with me. I was so wrong about him when we first met. Kind of makes me think about the other criminals...

Valve: Saving my friend Sonny from the Shadow Demons. She's helped me out so much in the past, I'm glad I could do the same, even just the one time.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

J-Man: I can't recall extactly, but something happened before I got these powers. I was in Empire Labs, and Sergei guy was involved somehow. I thought I was shot in the heart, but I woke up. Right?

Valve: Definitely when I was in the sewers fighting the 'Roach. I have never been in a real life-or-death fight before. And when his acid barf hit my hand that pain was unbearable. Luckly for me my hand didn't dissovle or something. I think it has something to do with being the Valve, but I'm not sure.

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

J-Man: I did something horrible for a friend once. A friend who left my life without saying a word. I'm not completely sure if I would change that, but it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Valve: There are times in which I wish me and Sonny never came across the Lost Tomb of Eris and never became the Valve. It would be a shame to never know the things the Officers of Light know. But I also never asked for this and I hate fighting. Having to fear if I'll die at any moment, it's not a way to live.

Part 4: Beliefs and Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

J-Man: Well, the all encomposing negativity of this absurd world hasn't completely gotten to me, so yes, I'd say I'm optimistic.

Valve: People say I'm pessimistic, but I'm just a cautious person. I believe people are good but to think that everything is always going to be alright is ridiculous.

Whew. Quite the mouth full. This was fun. I even made up some new things for this post that I'll porbably use in the future (like their middle names). I'll try to answer the following questions as they come out.

[mariusthered]

38.What is your best memory?
Cassie "when i won the long distance race at school, and my dad was so proud of me"
JJ "I have lots of them and all when me and Zoe were little"
Zoe "playing on stage at picnic day"
Roz "that first day me and Cassie went to the park"

39.What is your worst memory?
Cassie "When i lost grandpa, it was horrible to suddenly not have him anymore"
JJ "getting locked away at juvie road"
Zoe "having my arm broke and thinking i would never play guitar again"
Roz "my papa getting murdered"

Part 4: Beliefs and Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Cassie "I'm a teenager so both!"
JJ "me too"
Zoe "ha and me!"
Roz "I don't care"

Crow:When my parents left.

Miss: After my wedding.

Part 4: Beliefs and Opinions

[infectedbloodcomics]

41.What is your greatest fear?

Shanti: Being captured and tortured during one of my missions.

Sekhmet: Being loved.

---

Shanti: I am not religious.

Sekhmet: I am an atheist.

---

43. What are your political views?

Shanti: I believe in democracy and in separation of temples and countries.

[NOTE: That's like saying "church and state"]

Sekhmet: I am an anarchist. Funny how I ended up in the freaking military, taking orders and all.

[NickRowler]

41.What is your greatest fear?

Crow: That someone will come to my house in the middle of the night and cut my brain out of my head.

Miss: My mother getting everything she wants.

42. What are your religious views?

Crow: I believe that the Guardians will watch over me. They creep me the hell out but if it wasn't for them, I would be dead.

Miss: Ugh! Crow, the Guardians are not a religion! I am not that religious but I guess I believe in Mother.
(Author's note: Mother (named after Mother Loveheart) is a religious belief that all magical people are descended from humans who interbred with immortal beings. Loveheart, an immortal, was the first to do this, so people call her Mother. There are other people who believe that this was not the origin of humans and magical people.)

[mariusthered]

41.What is your greatest fear?
Cassie "slimy things"
Jane "People reading my mind"
Zoe "being unable to sing"
Roz "spiders"
42. What are your religious views?
Cassie "not sure yet"
Jane "none"
Zoe "i don't talk about that, it's rude"
Roz "my papa was catholic but i'm not sure myself"
43. What are your political views?
Cassie "the only law in swipe city is the mayor and my mom is his best friend"
Jane "None but i wish they would stop a few laws around here"
Zoe "don't care"
Roz "Pass"

[infectedbloodcomics]

44. What are your views on sex?

Shanti: Hmmm, I love it!

Sekhmet: One of the best things in life.

---

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?

Shanti: Killing is fine when it comes to bastards who rape, torture and kill without facing punishment. I eliminate this kind of people. I am also in favor of killing in self-defense.

Sekhmet: I am able to kill and I have killed. Some of it was in self-defense and I would do it again. But there are other circumstances under which I disagree with killing. I am against the death penalty, for example.

---

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

Shanti: Torture.

Sekhmet: I think... abusing children.

---

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?

Shanti: I generally don't, although I have to be careful whom I share my secret life with. I probably did a very poor job with Blitz, for sure.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Shanti: Not really.

Sekhmet: Not that I can think of.

---

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
Shanti: Shaking the hand of a dictator and that of his or her followers. I hate dictators.

---

Shanti: Sekhmet...

Sekhmet: Shanti.

[mariusthered]

Zoe "my family and JJ "

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?

Crow: I do feel sort of weird around male Cinder-Babies. They have a history of attacking women. Some are "non-violent" but you can not be too careful.

Miss: I hate the Guardians. They are suppose to protect people but instead they are selfish individuals to take advantage of the fact that they are immortal.

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?

Crow: I dunno.

Miss: Having another child...it's complicated and makes no sense if I explain it, so I will just leave it at that.

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?

Crow: I dunno, maybe my sister. But then again, it more likely she would be the one dying to protect me.

Miss: My son, my brother-in-law, maybe my boyfriend.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Part 5: Relationships With Others

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
Shanti: I'm very kind to everyone, including those I don't like. However, it's always apparent if I don't like a person. My loved ones... I am even kinder to them.

Sekhmet: I keep everyone at a distance, especially women I like. I have... relational problems. They don't really go away with time.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Shanti: Sekhmet. I realized I love her immensely and she's the love of my life.

Sekhmet: I hope Shanti will become the most person in my life, because I love her very much. There used to be someone else, but I'd rather not talk about it.

---

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Shanti: Sekhmet, because she is an extraordinary women. She's smart, creative and strong.

Sekhmet: I would like to say Shanti, being so smart, good-hearted, and taking down bad guys, but I disrespected her when I forced her to shoot me, so... I guess I have no respect for anyone.
