✗ Does your Guardian play any instruments? If they don't, which one would they like to learn to play?

No, Snow does not play any instruments, and frankly she has no desire to learn any. She prefers to listen rather than play.

Vash plays the biwa, a traditional Japanese instrument which is basically a lute. However, he hasn't played it in years and would need to put in a few weeks of practice before being able to play it like before. 

✗ What is your Guardian's theme song?

✗ What existing battle theme, or intense instrumental song, would suit your Guardian or other OCs? (@GiggledustJedi) I take this to mean "What is your Guardian's battle theme?"

✗ Does your Guardian have a favorite song or type of music? 

Dream pop!

✗ Can your Guardian sing?

Nope, she can't. Let's face it, she's just not musically talented.

Vash can sing pretty decently. Contrary to his whole being, his singing voice is actually quite calm and soothing.

✗There are two keys; both are old and rusty, and do not look special at all. One is said to be the key to immortality; the other is said to be the key to happiness.

Your Guardian is allowed to either take ONE of those keys, or refuse both and leave them for the next person. Choosing to take a key has no consequences other than that they cannot take the other key - the result of the other key may still be achieved through their own efforts. 

Take one of the old rusty keys, or refuse both... which do they choose - but, more importantly, why?

Now, if your Guardian opted to take one of the keys, they have another choice. Do they use the key for themselves, or give it to / use it for another person? Remember: There is no right or wrong answer, just answer honestly what your Guardian would do.

NOTE: The following question was pre-approved by @JR to be posted on the forums. I would like to remind everyone that posting anything graphic about death itself is NOT allowed and also not what this question is asking for.

✗ Eldarya is a troubled world and sometimes conflicts get messy. How would your Guardian feel about being in a situation where they were ordered to kill someone? Could they do it? Why or why not?

>>What if the person to eliminate didn't know your Guardian was there?

>>What if the person to eliminate did know your Guardian was there and was begging/crying for mercy.

>>What if the person to eliminate is responsible for horrible actions, but is still in front of you and begging for mercy. 

>>What if your Guardian doesn't even know what the person did. Sometimes orders are given on a need-to-know basis. Your character might have been told that El needed so-and-so eliminated, but not why. 

REMINDER

I am not asking for details about the situation, but rather how your character would FEEL/REACT to it.

I am not asking about a situation where self-defense or defense of a friend/loved one is involved. Everyone would chose "Yes" to that. 

I see a lot of people making their characters (on this and other games) into blood lusting warriors and assassins, even if they were formally humans on earth and I'm sitting here like HOLY HECK, WAS YOUR GUARDIAN A SERIAL KILLER BEFORE ELDARYA??? No one thinks about WHY their character would suddenly be a-ok with these actions despite coming from a world (if they are from Earth) where this behavior is punishable by pretty much every government, everywhere. I'm kind of curious to see if there is a reasoning (if there is any beyond 'assassin sounds like a cool title') behind why people chose to go that route and if any thought was given to why your characters would be willing to do these things and/or what lead them to be able to do these things. 

Feel free to go into detail about your CHARACTER. Not about anything grisly. I cannot stress this enough. 

If you are unsure about whether or not your answer would fit within forum guidelines, PM it to me. It helps to have a second set of eyes sometimes.
