*The interview has been filled out, though the lettering is large, blocky, and almost illegible at times.*

Q: What is your given name?

Deriaz Ironfist, but just Deriaz will do.

Q: What do others call you? (i.e. nicknames?)

'Der', 'D', or even 'Bolts', which is short for 'Bucket o' Bolts', which a Halfling gave to me a long time back. I have also been called 'Big Blue'.

Q: What is your most fond memory from your youth or past?

There's no visual, but the sound of waves is my fondest. It's the first sound I heard when I woke up out on the Harbor a short time ago.

Q: On a typical day, where in the city of Stormreach would one find you relaxing at?

In the day, I can be found all over town, though more in the Harbor than anywhere. Though I am fond of the Fellowship Guild Hall, and Jaggie's house is comforting.

Q: What is your favorite food and/or drink?

I don't eat or drink.

Q: Of all your accomplishments in recent days, what was your single greatest?

Recent days. . . I would have to say being able to take down a dragon with my friends in Blue Line.

On a more material accomplishment, I found a nice Bastard Sword on the Auction House. There's nothing much really going on as of now.

Q: Name one of your fears:

Water, and after a mishap when I was with Uxor, fire doesn't rub right with me either. My absolute greatest would be losing my memory, I suppose.

Q: Who would you consider to be your closest friend?

Uxor, though Jaggie is tied up there, just because I can relate to her easily.

Q: Have you ever done anything that you are ashamed of?

To be honest, yes. But I won't go into detail. . .

Q:You're in a terrible accident, and your healer has no regenerationspell available. Their skill can save some of you, but not all. Giventhe choice, would you rather lose the use of your hands or your feet?

Tough question. . . I don't know. I guess if it ever happened, I would decide then and there.

Q: Into what lifestyle were you born? (i.e. rich noble, poor, merchant family, etc)

I wouldn't know. . . I have no memory of my past.

Q: Have you ever found your 'true love'? Or any love for that matter?

A love for combat and keeping an eye out for others, yes. But a true love?. . . No.

Q: Do you have any bias towards anything? (hate elves, look down on necromancers, love all things of the warrior,  etc.)

If it has to do with a sword and shield, you can count me in. And if it involves any of my friends, again, count me in. No bad bias though. . .

Q: In a dangerous situation, what is your weapon of choice?

One of my four Bastard Swords that are with my at all times and a Steel Tower Shield. Wouldn't fight any other way.

Q: Do you have any living family?

No. . . Not anymore, after what Ragyr did.

Q: Is there anything that you would absolutely refuse to do?

No.

Q: What would you wish for if you had a ring of three wishes?

1. Ability to be more helpful to people.
2. Better, or best, ability with a sword and shield.
I would save the third for when I absolutely needed it.

Q: What was the saddest day of your life?

I don't think I have one. There was one when I was mobbed by 6 Drow in an alleyway, but that was only one small incident in the day.

Q: Who or What has been most influential to you?

Probably Uxor, the Fellowship on the whole, and my guild, Blue Line. They're all my friends who have pushed me to become better. Jaggie, also, has helped me a lot, with relating experiences of a Foundry to me, and other various things.

Q: Do you have any weaknesses - serious or lighthearted? (Death by fire vs death by chocolate for example)

Anything involving memory is my weakness. I try to remember as much as I can, and losing all that I have would be devastating.

Q: If money were no object, what would you buy?

A better Bastard Sword and Tower Shield, a Docent, and gifts for the Fellowship, Blue Line, and big ones for Uxor and Jaggie, for everything they've done.

Q: Of all the factions of our city, what House or entity do you enjoy working for the most?

All of them are equal, to me. As long as they don't refuse to give me a job, for being a Warforged. . . Like that one Drow. . .

UXOR'S ANSWERS

Q: What is your given name?
I don't know the name of my birth. But the name I have now, Uxor, was 'given' to me by my former master.

Q: What do others call you? (i.e. nicknames?)
Uxor. Though I have been called "the maiden of living ice" by my father's countrymen... since he was known as "Living Ice of the East" they took to calling me 'Maiden of Living Ice' since I was his daughter.

Q: What is your most fond memory from your youth or past?
My most fond memory is the day I got to meet my father. To look at him and know we were family after so much confusion felt good.

Q: On a typical day, where in the city of Stormreach would one find you relaxing at?
I sometimes go shopping as a change of pace from fighting. Though I find sparring is more relaxing than you might think.

Q: What is your favorite food and/or drink?
I will drink anything - though I'm not fond of 'hot' drinks like teas. I prefer my food cold, but I am becoming fond of pot pies. It's an adventure to eat one - you never know what they'll hold, and I seldom ask the tenders so it is more of a surprise.

Q: Of all your accomplishments in recent days, what was your single greatest?
Being promoted within the Fellowship

Q: Name one of your fears:
Fire.

Q: Who would you consider to be your closest friend?
A toss up between Deriaz and Varro. Varro I have known longer, but I think he may not feel as close to me as I do to him. Our bond has been growing from our work together around the city and guilds. Deriaz, however, I feel kindred to. I know what it is like to not know your past, and be lost in the present.

Q: Have you ever done anything that you are ashamed of?
Yes. Even though it was for a good reason, I still am not proud of it, and I would take it back in a heart beat.

Q: You're in a terrible accident, and your healer has no regeneration spell available. Their skill can save some of you, but not all. Given the choice, would you rather lose the use of your hands or your feet?
Difficult choice. I would say one of each? Keep my primary hand, and either of the feet.

Q: Into what lifestyle were you born? (i.e. rich noble, poor, merchant family, etc)
I don't know excactly. I found out my mother was a priestess. My father was a military man. I think life was not hard if that is what you mean.

Q: Have you ever found your 'true love'? Or any love for that matter?
I was married once. Whether or not it was my 'true love' i will never be able to know. That part of my memories was taken from me.

Q: Do you have any bias towards anything? (hate elves, look down on necromancers, love all things of the warrior,  etc.)
I am not here to judge others. I do think tactics are required in the field of battle, but no one can tell another what to do. We can only suggest.
I do hold a special place for music makers. . . I think the power of song is beyond even combat. Music can speak in ways without words, and I have no talent for making it, so I admire it, and those who make it, greatly.

Q: In a dangerous situation, what is your weapon of choice?
A greatsword. I have a better ability to reach further out with it. Few will come close to a whirling blade of that size.

Q: Do you have any living family?
My father, if he is still alive. When last I knew, he still lived.

Q: Is there anything that you would absolutely refuse to do?
Speak aloud.

Q: What would you wish for if you had a ring of three wishes?
For myself, only one. To have the memories that were taken from me.
I would save the other two to use on behalf of those close to me

Q: What was the saddest day of your life?
The day I was freed. Suddenly having an awareness that I had been the tool of another, with no will to act of my own.

Q: Who or What has been most influential to you?
The monks who helped me once I made my way into the world. They taught me that one doesn't have to speak to be heard. And that all actions/choices have a reaction, for good or ill, and that we must learn to live with those reactions and choices.

Q: Do you have any weaknesses - serious or lighthearted? (Death by fire vs death by chocolate for example)
Fire.

Q: If money were no object, what would you buy?
Never ending protection from fire

Q: Of all the factions of our city, what House or entity do you enjoy working for the most?
I would say I see them all equal really. I am a fighter for hire, to be picky about my comissions means fewer choices for work

Jagy takes her turn~

New from the forge I was named Jagy for the strange jagged characteristics the metals of my body took. A traveler named me Jukebox during my days of the Silver Flame.

My mace and my song.

Do you not hear the music?

The dark bothers me for I've only one sensor to see. Extreme heat and cold are problematic and these bug like creatures of rust are most dangerous.

Perhaps that finely carved lute I saw in the market place last day. Perhaps this ring of three wishes you mentioned before has well.

Q: Of all the factions of our city, what House or entity do you enjoy working for the most?

I prefer any place where one does not have to venture into the sewers, though it seems like the sewers are favored living spaces for most unjust cruel creatures. 

 Q: What is your given name?

Long forgotten by most everyone, and good riddance. I am called Jinna by those who know me.

Q: What do others call you? (i.e. nicknames?)

They're more stage names than nicknames, really. I was often billed as Starsinger in Sharn, for example.

Q: What is your most fond memory from your youth or past?

Almost any time spent with my old adventuring guild.

Q: On a typical day, where in the city of Stormreach would one find you relaxing at?

In Sharn, my adventuring companion Begel, a delightfully innocent little gnome training to be a wizard. I took him under my wing and taught him how to survive in the big city.
Since my arrival in Stormreach, the individual I've spent the most time with is probably Liyra. Her friendly, warm nature makes her a most pleasant companion. I'm also quite enjoying getting to know Jaggie, as well.

Q: Have you ever done anything that you are ashamed of?

Who hasn't?

Q: You're in a terrible accident, and your healer has no regeneration spell available. Their skill can save some of you, but not all. Given the choice, would you rather lose the use of your hands or your feet?

I can't imagine losing either. I've often been in situations where I've had no possessions to rely upon save my body, and I would gladly give up everything else I own rather than part of myself.
But if I had to make the choice, I would probably lose my hands rather than be crippled. I can still make a living from my voice, but I don't think I could stand being unable to walk.

Q: Into what lifestyle were you born? (i.e. rich noble, poor, merchant family, etc)

I don't know precisely where I was born, but I was raised in some of the worst slums in the underbelly of Sharn.

Q: Have you ever found your 'true love'? Or any love for that matter?

I've found many flirtations over the course of my career, and some of them have been useful in my rise through the city's society. But as for "true love", I'm not entirely certain I shall ever have or want one.

Q: Do you have any bias towards anything? (hate elves, look down on necromancers, love all things of the warrior,  etc.)

I greatly enjoy the company of bards and others of quick wit and good humor. I tend to avoid those who take life too seriously and aren't willing to share a few stories and laughs.

Q: In a dangerous situation, what is your weapon of choice?

My voice. I would much prefer to talk or sing my way out of a bad situation.

Q: Do you have any living family?

Not that I'm aware of.

Q: Is there anything that you would absolutely refuse to do?

Probably, but it would depend on the circumstances.

Q: What would you wish for if you had a ring of three wishes?

Ah, but don't you know that wishes won't come true if you tell them?

Q: What was the saddest day of your life?

Probably the point in my childhood where I realized that not everyone lived the way I did and there was so much more to society that was denied me because of my birth and circumstances.
That was also when I resolved to change that situation.

Q: Who or What has been most influential to you?

I believe my life is influenced by everyone I meet. I am a product of the sum of all of my experiences, and every interactions helps shape who I can become.

Q: Do you have any weaknesses - serious or lighthearted? (Death by fire vs death by chocolate for example)

If I did, why would I tell you about them?

The silence of those who have spoken against me.
