Thank you to everyone who participated in my little poll! Since only two participants left a question for my characters, it's at least going to be easy to answer them all. :) And I'll answer the one I asked as an example...because once I asked it, I couldn't stop thinking about how Oro would answer it. XD
----- Q: Corruscant Nayeli: What is your worst trauma?
A: ...That would be the day Father Aezik, our hierophant, was finally broken by the strength of my scent. He was a good man, and pious. I’ll not hear otherwise, even from the Matriarch herself (may she live again). Happily married. Faithful to his wife. He unknowingly resisted my allure for months, all while trying to shelter me from other...“suitors”. But men in high station are rightly held to high standards, and succumbing even to something as overpowering as my scent may be taken as failing to live up to them. To this day, I live with a haunting guilt that my mere presence may have condemned that man. Please, may The Authority be merciful, and hold this one failing in Father Aezik’s character against my soul, rather than his.
----- Q: [Unspecified] Sarahi: Have you met anyone that shares your most noticeable feature or are you the only one you know of?
A: (Three-Peaks) As a matter of fact, I am the only person I know with such a full, glossy mane of wavy hair! Even Mom’s can’t grow this long. It’s a bit of a pain to comb after spending all day on the mountain, but... You were talking about the legs, weren’t you? You were talking about the legs... Well, it’s a very rare genetic condition, but I’m not entirely unique. There have been enough of us for it to have a name: “Caudal Demi-Ferum Morphogenesis Disorder”...for which the derisive Amunetian term “Sha’khari” is a common substitute. But the number of cases in any given generation is only one or two at most. There might be as many as five of us on the entire planet right now, and I’ve never met or even heard of any of the others.
----- Q: Three-Peaks Oro, be honest: do you really think you could beat the Corruscant Oro in a fight?
A: *sneers* The dick's got about 20 years of experience on me, every last one of them spent in ruthless, cold-blooded murder. He's also a lot more enmeshed with Gogorond, and doubtless knows a trick or three I haven't figured out yet. In short, it's going to be real touch-and-go...but I'm pretty sure I can take him, in the end.
Corruscant Oro: *blinks* Excuse me?! Considering all that led up to it, how the fusk do you come to that conclusion?
Three-Peaks Oro: Because my Nayeli will support me, not leash me.
