Skip.

My fear of the unknown... I rather not get too into it, though

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

OH MY GOD!! Um, I have to think about this and you're putting me on the spot a bit!  Honestly, i find romantism tied to the other's efforts to impress. Sooo I'd be okay with anything, really! Though....i've always wanted to have a picnic on the beach. Maybe share a meal while we watch the sun set together.

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

YES YES YES YES!! People joke, but I think you can tell a lot about someone through their star sign! Just look at me. Do I look like anything OTHER than a pisces?

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

Oh! I had this little A/C car I used to drive around the house alllllll the time. I remember even trying to tweak it a bit to make the wheels speed up faster -- big mistake. The thing almost blew up in my face.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

My good-for-nothing brother aaron faust . Wait-- these answers don't get posted right? Right??

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Unova, maybe? Their industrial industry is huge, so I'd like to think there would be more than a few opportunities for me there.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

The notebook sucks!!! I'm sorry, i'm sorry, but it really does. It's so slow and boring and the guy isn't even that cute...

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

I don't know, sorry.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Science fiction, for obvious reasons. 

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

10/10 I'm in love!

Survey #1: The world prevents me from doing what I want the most. It is hard to pursue the things I want to, when the world is in danger of being eradicated every other monday. Truly puts a damper on things such as mourning, moving on, trying to better humanity, and having a family. If I could peacefully live without some unknown force trying to destroy me, I would I assure you.

Survey #2: I would like to take Elise Calcifet to some ruins that I have found here in Hoenn. When I am bored I often go exploring with Adontis, and Stryker, and we have found some unique places. I think she'd enjoy them, and then we could go eat our fill before cuddling the rest of the night.

Survey #3: I do not put much stock in such trivialities, but my sign is "The Twins" at the very least.

Survey #4: I had a stuffed Pidgeot, that was always by my side. It was a gift from my parents.

Survey #5: What an odd question....It is still early in our relationship, but if we were together, and did have a child. Elise Calcifet would be the one, along with Walter. I know the two of them would make sure my child was well taken care of.

Survey #6: Paldea, if for no other reason than their Trainer Academies are leaps, and bounds ahead of all others, and I think their region lore is very intriguing.

Survey #7: The League is no different than Rocket.

Survey #8: Since my ace is a Dragonite, I'd like to have Multiscale, but Regenerator could also be useful. To heal passively from any, and all injuries, would be quite the boon.

Survey #9: There is a couple that lives here, with their family. I have known them for a long time now, invested in the husbands company, and while I did miss their wedding, they have two children to look after. I am a terrible uncle as I don't visit much, but I don't want those kids to lose their parents. So I stay here to do my small part in making sure this place that they call home doesn't end.

Survey #10: Dialga.

Survey #11: My role model is long gone, but I do have one, who it is will have to be a mystery, but he was someone I thought that was truly the best of them. Perhaps he will return one day.

Survey #12: I....Hmmm....Perhaps another time.

Survey #13: Science Fiction.

Survey #14: 7/10, it's not a bad game, but I am not much of a gamer. My Pikachu enjoys it though.

Suggestion: What keeps you going? What is it that drives you to achieve your goals?

All questions answered ICly by Leonicio Marceliño.

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"

It used to be family. Those pedestrian fools could never understand the full scope of my ambitions. Thankfully they can hold me back no more.

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

I am your ideal date, babe~♥

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

Keep that witchcraft away from me! Besides, I already know what my destiny is.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

A stuffed Teddiursa Mecha Cop action figure.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

I despise children.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

I've always been partial to Paldea. Moving to Galar was a mistake.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

Blood is NOT thicker than water.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

Big Pecks. As a model, I've been working out, but I'm not quite there yet.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"

I still haven't realized my destiny.

"If you can be an avatar, which legendary Pokemon would you prefer to be your patron?"

Not if, but WHEN I become an avatar, my patron will obviously be Arceus.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

My elder sisters, I suppose. They can be pretty cool sometimes. Don't tell them I said that!

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"

Power.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Science fiction. I always root for the intergalactic empire.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

I need to play more routes before I can give a fair and balanced review.

All questions answered anonymously and in-character

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"

I do everything I want to do.

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

Sitting in the same room and doing separate things in silence. I do this with my girlfriend regularly.

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

No.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

I didn't have one.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

I hate children and would never have one.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

Nice try.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

I'm right and everyone who disagrees is wrong.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

Either Arena Trap or Shadow Tag, though I think the latter suits me better.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"

I have unfinished business here.

"If you can be an avatar, which legendary Pokemon would you prefer to be your patron?"

Necrozma would be interesting.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

No.

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"

The thrill of the hunt.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Science fiction, I guess.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

1/5 stars.

All questions answered anonymously and in-character

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"

The safety of Hoenn and its people are more important than any personal endeavors.

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

I think my ideal date would be a camping trip in the foothills near where I grew up. I'd love to take Summer Atreides but I know she hates the outdoors, so that won't happen. But it's a nice thought!

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

I don't believe in it, but I know my sign. I'm a Virgo.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

I had a little Cyndaquil plush toy that my parents gave me when I was a baby. That's why a Cyndaquil was my first Pokémon.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

My parents or brother GIDEON GRAVES, because they're family. I don't have any children, though.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

Probably Kalos. I enjoyed my time there when I visited.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

We shouldn't be afraid to dirty our hands to do what's right.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

There are so many Pokémon abilites. I really don't think I could choose.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"

Because it's my home. My family lives here, and I have to protect them. No one else will.

"If you can be an avatar, which legendary Pokemon would you prefer to be your patron?"

I heard about some Legendary Pokémon of Galar that the locals view as folk heroes. I've yet to read more into the lore, though.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

I really admire PENELOPE LIVY. She keeps a level head and is excellent at her job. Of course, I also admire GIDEON GRAVES. He's always striven toward great heights and inpsired me to the do the same.

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"

I like when they try to fight.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Don't you know that lost world is a sub-genre of science fiction? So you're basically asking me to choose between science fiction and science fiction.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

I have some qualms with the game, but it's very well made. 4/5.

All questions answered ICly by Callan Young.

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"

I think I'm fortunate enough to say that most of the things I thought would make me happy, I've achieved.

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

It's less about what we're doing and more about if we're connecting emotionally. Elinor Anderson, of course.

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

Nope. The Fishes.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

I had a Gulpin plushie as a kid that I hugged when I went to sleep.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

Probably my ex-wife or Elinor Anderson. I trust both of them and they're in comfortable positions in their lives. I would lean towards my ex though, since she's in a good place and Elly is just starting her career path.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

Unova, my daughter lives there, so I'd be able to see her whenever I'd like.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

Vegemite banana sandwiches are delicious.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

Guts. I love this ability.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"

I ran away from shitstorms for most of my life. Recently I've found it's less about avoiding, and more about staying in them for the right reasons.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

No.

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"

I have an answer, but this quiz is PG-13.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Science Fiction is without a doubt the superior of the two genres.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

It's great, I can't stop playing it. 1/5

Answered IC and submitted anonymously through digital means.

"If you’d rather be doing something else, what stops you? Is it money? Is it pressure from your family? Is it your own lack of self-confidence? Or does some other thing prevent you from doing what you want to do?"

I am doing exactly what I want to be doing.

"What would your ideal date be? And who with?"

Something low key...a quiet dinner, perhaps. Just the two of us...lots of talking and sharing ideas.

"Do you believe in astrology? What's your star sign?"

There’s nothing particularly scientific about astrology, except for the aspects of it that overlap with astronomy. I have been told, however, that I am a Gemini and that it is very fitting.

"What was your favourite stuffed animal or toy as a kid?"

A stuffed Eevee. This would not surprise those who know me…I am almost never without Val, my Sylveon.

"Who would you want to raise your child if you die unexpectedly? Why?"

I can’t imagine myself with a child, at least not for the time being.

"If you didn't live in Hoenn, which other region would you rather live in? Why?"

Johto, I suppose. It’s where I’m from. I have fond memories of Ecruteak, but I don’t think I could live in that particular city again...perhaps somewhere else in that region.

"Everybody has at least one unpopular opinion. What’s yours?"

I have no idea if this sentiment is really all that unpopular, but I truly believe that sacrifices must be made in order to achieve great scientific advancement. Interpret that how you will.

"If you could have any Pokemon ability, what would it be and why?"

I know it is technically an attack not an ability, but I am partial to Endure. Our discoveries will mean nothing if we don’t survive long enough to make use of them.

"Despite everything that's happened and will happen, why are you still in Hoenn?"

Despite? Why, Hoenn is where the most interesting things seem to be happening. There are a plethora of fascinating phenomena to study here.

"If you can be an avatar, which legendary Pokemon would you prefer to be your patron?"

We - collectively, as a scientific community - are only just beginning to scratch the surface of what it means to be an avatar. Daydreaming about power is unproductive. It is the trust of the Unown that I seek above all else.

"Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?"

I have several…but there is one in particular…she’s my boss, in a sense. She’s also the most intelligent, capable, and tough woman I know.

"What turns you on? What gets you excited?"

Scientific discovery. You know - the “Eureka!” moment all scientists seek.

"Pick a genre: lost world or science fiction."

Science fiction.

"Are you enjoying the video game, Rondez-view of Luv? Give us a rating."

I…find it complicated.
