((Ok, I've just posted, wow, this forest path is creeping me out slightly.. ooh! fun, fun!))

Who are your character's friends?

His sister, Marien. His fellow guards, ecspecially those with the same posts as he. Several nobles. He has many.. he's friendly to people enough, I'd say, he has alot of aquaintances.

How close is your character to his/her friends?

many of his friends are just aquaintances, but those that he sees more often (his sister, the guards, some of the nobles) he is good friends with.

Is she/he protecting someone?

Maen, for now. Not really anyone else.

Who was her/his first love?

His first love was a girl he met when he was 15. Their relationship ended when she moved away.

Who does she/he work with?

Ferethor. Maen. The other members of the journey he will work with without complaint though. He works also for King Elessar.

Who is her/his best friend?

A fellow guard, Jeremy Fallow. They trained together, and have been very good friends ever since. Jeremey married Aelimur's sister recently.

Who is his/her worst enemy?

No one.

Who is his/her confidante?

His father, or his sister.

Is he/she a disappointment to anyone?

Not really. His mother slightly, who thought that being a guard was rather dangerous, and didn't care for her only son becoming one.

• What about family? Does she/he get along with them? Does she/he ignore them? Is it a small family, or an extended family with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles? Is it a close family, or do they only see each other at the holidays? Are any of them not on speaking terms with each other?

He has a very close relationship with his whole family. Yes, it's a very small family that he comes from, he has many cousins/aunts/uncles/etc. though. His mother and father rarely speak to each other anymore, though they are still together because of the fact that they do, oddly enough, still love each otehr dearly.

• Are there any "family secrets?"

Well, his immidiate family knows, but no one else: He was once married to a young woman named Abigail Helenoth. She fell ill and died after only 2 and something months of marriage. The memory will never leave Aelimur.

• Who is his/her favorite relative?

His sister. They have a very close relationship.

• Who is his/her least favorite relative?

His Aunt Matty, who picks at Aelimur terribly to get him to tell her anything about his late wife. (she knows he was married, though she knows nothing of Abigail)

• Does he/she have any children?

No.

• Where does he/she feel safe? Why?

Large, endless, open fields. Also, while he sleeps, and he can be alone with his dreams of Abigail.

• What sort of place spooks him/her? Why?

Dark places, hollow places, lifeless places, being alone. Why? Because he hates being alone.

• Is there any place that he/she refuses to go? Why? What happened there?

The south wing of his house, that's where Abigail loved most, and where she died.

• What did your character want to be when he/she grew up?

As a child he wanted to be either a soldier like his dad or a painter/writer, like his mom.

• What nightmares does he/she have?

He dreams of Abigail. They are not totally nightmares, but they are in a way.

• What makes him/her cry?

Death. Pain. Watching something terrible have to happen to a friend.

• What makes him/her laugh?

A good joke, talking with his friends, when something funny happens.

• What does he/she wish they could do that they can't?

Nothing really. He is content in that way.

• What is their secret dream? What one goal, ambition, or desire do they keep hidden from everyone? Is it small or large? Personal or global? Realistic or unrealistic? Is she actually trying to accomplish it (and how?), or do they consider it untenable?

He wants to paint, and to write. He is very good at both, but has continually been denied the chance to.

• What is their worst fear? What terrifies them? What do they dread? Is it something terribly personal, or a generic phobia? How did they acquire this fear? Are they ashamed of it?

Something he could not defeat on his own. Having to relive sweet Abigail's death. Strangly, open wounds. Many little things, sad things. He is not ashamed to let people know, but he doesn't usually outright tell others.

• If she could be any famous person, who would it be and why?

I'm not sure.

• Where does your character live?

Gondor.

• Do they get sick? How often? What do they tend to come down with, and how do they handle it?

He doesn't get sick very often. When he does, it's just a cold/flu, nothing too bad.

• What is your character like when they are drunk? Mellow? Melancholy? Friendly and fun? Laughs too much? Hits on everyone?

Haha! Aelimur is very odd when is is drunk. He laughs almost the whole time, talks alot, unsteady on his feet. Thankfully he isn't drunk very often!

• What is he like when they are grieving/mourning? Are they private with their grief? Quiet and stony? Crying loudly? In need of friends?

He is very quiet and withdrawn. When he talks, it's in a very poetic manner. Will not eat usually for a couple days.

• What are they like when they are moody or despondent? Are they self-pitying, irritable, sad?

Slightly irritable, angry, sad. Laughs at any joke, no matter how good, mockingly.

• What is he/she like when they are celebrating? Do they have a quiet celebration at home, or do they gather their friends together for a big bash?

Gathers his closest friends if it's a personal celebration. Big huge bash (that he seems not present at) if otherwise!
