PASSERBY ANALYTICS HQ #7

OUT OF CHARACTER ANSWERS

1. Do you have a role model? If so, who is it and why?
Cain doesn't have a singular role model. He is inspired by everyone he knows, and all the people he comes to know over the course of his travels. There is a childhood friend/older brother figure from his hometown that would likely be the closest person to a singular role model in his life, however.

2. Your back's against the wall. You're down to your last Pokemon. Which Pokemon is it and why?
Chantilly the Frosmoth. She is his first partner and pokemon friend, and the one he relies on the most.

3. What is your favorite water-type?
He loves water-type pokemon, so it's hard to say. Some of his favorites are the more elegant ones, however, such as milotic, lumineon, and vaporeon.

4. Describe a new Paradox Pokémon. Go crazy! The whackier the better!
He's not necessarily the creative type, so it would take him some time to answer this question. OOC-ly, I'd like to imagine paradox pokemon for some of the more underrated pokemon. Specifically a paradox version of maractus is stuck in my head as of late?

5. Would you still love a loved one if they were a Wurmple?
Yes, he would. And he'd care for that Wurmple as best as he could until they were Cascoon/Silcoon, and Dustox/Beautifly after that. If there was some way to revert the loved one back to human form, Cain would also seek it out if it was possible.

6. Do you have a quote/proverb/lyrics that changed your life? If yes, what is it?
Cain likes a lot of vocally-driven songs as well as piano instrumentals. OOC-ly, I associate him with a lot of works by Claude Debussy, especially Reverie and The Sunken Cathedral. But fun fact is that the lyrics found on his profile and on his application are from the song "Ice Queen" by IVE.

From between those pure icy breaths / Those eyes like the midsummer sun / Such love, such triviality. Shall we try it once? / etc.

7. What is the biggest lie you've told?
Cain doesn't outwardly lie a lot. His biggest lie is a lie of omission, wherein he just doesn't say what's on his mind most of the time unless he's being forthright on purpose. That said, the biggest lie is probably something of little consequence. White lies to go along with the lies of omission, you know?

8. What big or small thing would you do to bring a little more joy into the world?
Cain is interested in knowing the secrets behind pokemon, pokemon evolution, and evolutionary science as a whole. Also has a lesser interest in medicine, as well as biotech. So he tries to bring more joy into the world by having this knowledge readily available towards others, and helping out wild pokemon while also including them in his studies.

10. How do you like your steak?
He likes his steak medium rare to medium well.

11. If you had to kill someone, could you?
Technically, he could. Mostly it would be out of self-defense, though. And the guilt would likely overwhelm him after the fact...

12. Would you want to fight one thousand Durant sized Ursarings or one Ursaring sized Durant?
One Ursaring-sized Durant.

13. What was your last dream about?
He dreams often, actually. Both while awake and asleep. His last dream at night was about the ocean... his last daydream was about raising his newly-caught mudkip, and how the mudkip's personality may or may not change when it evolves.

14. What is your purpose?
Cain, in this universe, isn't the type to think about what his purpose is or not. He just wants to follow his dreams/goals as well as continue doing what he wants. If that can be considered his 'purpose,' then sure.

15. If you had to remove one city or town from Hoenn, which one would it be?
Weird question... he wouldn't do that, because suddenly removing a place from where it once was would have serious consequences on the people, pokemon, and environment. If it was an omniscient thing, so the place would just be removed and reality would be altered to fit that change, then he still wouldn't pick a place. He also isn't native to Hoenn, so he feels it would be unfair to pick a city or town at random.
