Questions

[Kaiser]

Oh, so someone answers your challenge and you run and hide behind "exams," eh, Humperdink? Now we see why Canadian teams can't win at hockey

[Liadan]

Oh my… so many answers. I’ll have to read through them at my leisure.

General
# of locales lived and where? 2 - LA, California; Tucson, AZ.
pets? kind and names? Fish that don't really count. And five dogs. There is much fur everywhere. They're all mutts, and all adorable. If you disagree, there will also be much fire. >.>
school? BASIS (Upper) Tucson. Please don’t ask. Or if you must, ask Khunlin.
talents, hidden or otherwise? I'm going to go with "hobbies" here. I'm a classical music girl, although I listen to just about any genre of music. Been playing piano since I was 4, and cello since I was 10ish. I also enjoy reading and writing a lot.
TV? Not much of a TV watcher, I'm afraid.
motto? I have many. But currently… "All knowledge is worth having."
actor you'd pick to play you? Not much of a movie watcher, either.
best word to describe you? Paradox.
farthest place you've been? Japan.
place you'd most like to visit? Canada. Likely to visit there this summer, as a matter of fact.
pet peeve? Improper spelling and grammar, unless you have the excuses of: a) Not enough sleep, b) being drunk, or c) English isn't your native language.

Favorites
color? Many. Bloo (yes, it is indeed spelled bloo), grey, and purple may be chief among them, however.
food? Also many. Chicken and rice.
drink? Green tea.
sport? Soccer or basketball.
team? Urawa Reds (Japan). Or the Phoenix Suns, for basketball.
least favorite team?
game? Guild Wars, Warcraft III, and chess. Yes, I'm a hopeless nerd.
book? Ummm. Many, many, and many more. For the sake of brevity, I'll just say "see below."
author? Another bad question to ask me. >.> Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison, Terry Pratchett, George R. R. Martin, Sara Douglass, Juliet Marillier, Jacqueline Carey, Shusaku Endo, Tanya Huff, JRR Tolkien, and I should probably stop here before I really get going. >.>
movie? Not much of a movie watcher, but… The Million Dollar Baby.
type of movie? Comedy.
place to eat? Ra Sushi. My brother works there, so the sushi (normally expensive) is pretty much free. Can't argue with that. >.>
worst food? Anything spicy.
worst movie? Pink Panther. Long story. I blame everyone except me for watching it. >.>

Guild Wars
inspiration behind name(s)? Names that I thought sounded pretty, mostly pulled from my never-to-be-completed manuscripts. My primary name "Liadan" is the one I use most often for forums and the like, and is a character from Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters trilogy.
favorite spells, elite and otherwise? Spiteful Spirit, Zealous Benediction, Gale, Blinding Surge, Savannah Heat, Searing Flames, Rodgort's Invocation, Mark of Rodgort, Mind Blast… can you tell that I really like fire?

Added questions:
Real first name? Emily.
Random, odd fact about you? I'm 4'11". My brother is 6'4".
Job you'd most like to have at Anet? Writing the storylines. For the love of Chocolate, the Almighty Deity, can't we have plotlines that aren’t so cheesy?
Current car? I have yet to obtain a driver's permit. I am a) short, and b) Japanese. This may be a racial stereotype, but I have noticed that these two rarely combine to make great drivers.
Dream car? Gocart. At least I wouldn't kill anyone if I crashed in one of those.
Birthday? (no year needed) May 24th.
GW anniversary? Umm. Early December of 2006… 8th, I think it was? Yes, I'm very new to this game.
Thoughts on Factions? The leveling fast is… interesting if you want to nuke things with fire as fast as possible. More importantly, you get to save baby turtles!
What you'd do with the money if you won GWWC? Save it for college.

[Jupiter]

Marching Band?! What did you play?
Mellophone here, RAWR!

Flute, bass drum, bells (marimba, xylo, etc.) .... I think that's it. Flute was my main one.

I finally found someone who's actually read the Wayfarer Redemption trilogy and loves it as much as I do...

[Malae]

I read it too! She lent me the books! Very good

[Tiana]

My friend lent me the books, and I read them all on a band trip... so good I just have to finish the second trilogy, but Malae has the books at his place.

Well, two fans then. Good good.

Guild Wars
inspiration behind name(s)?

Das Kiwi Zoid - "Das Kiwi" is an inside joke involving me going to any place, and getting IDed by the store clerk by a picture of me next to the register, and being called "Das Kiwi?" This has been extended to teachers, pedestrians, job interviews, etc. Kiwizoid/Kiwi Zoid is a looong used alias combining Kiwi, my nickname, with "zoid" which came from an old clan in a now-defunct game that said you had to make a name and put zoid at the end of it to be recognized as a member. Shizzam. The "Das _____ Zoid" is now starting to become used for my PvP characters when I can't think of another name or can't bother with it.

Von Healyourspleen - Needed a fancy monk name. No inspiration besides using the word "spleen"

Pete From Marketing - Office worker by day, man of the woods by night! Awesome?! Hell yeah!

Other names - Usually just made up on the spot, or thought up long ago and put to use randomly.

favorite spells, elite and otherwise? Elite would probably be word of healing, just because of my extended time spent with it on Von. Otherwise... too many. RoF, Apply Poison, Cry of Frustration... anything I guess.

favorite emote? /flex or /dance

new emote you'd like to see? Some sort of synchable Super Sentai/Power Rangers type emote so groups of characters can make badass combo poses to intimidate foes.

Added questions:

Job you'd most like to have at Anet? Warlord
Current car? Hahahahahaha
Dream car? Jetpack!
Birthday? (no year needed) August 14th
GW anniversary? Somewhere around Christmas.
Thoughts on Factions? Dude, I blew Shiro up. Righteous.
What you'd do with the money if you won GWWC? Quit playing GW. Buy a small nation, (re)name it The People's Democracy of Kiwania, become High Commander, and feel supreme above all else in my nation. (I have no clue how much the GWWC prize was; I'm assuming a couple million dollars)
