2. ... favorite tv show(s)? Doesn’t watch too much; the occasional “ultimate fighting” event, or mish-mash of team and solo sports.
3. ... favorite movie(s)? He’s a sucker for nature documentaries like the Planet Earth series, and has a fondness for those sports-team-triumphs-over-difficulty-to-reach-victory movies. Like TV, he doesn’t watch many movies, and so a lot of his intake of film would be dependent on what his friends dragged him to see.

He'd also take good care of the chips he receives after periods of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous, particularly his yearly chips.

9. What city would they live in?  He'd have a few places in different cities, such as London, New York, Chicago, Dublin, Tokyo, and Moscow, but his actual home would be near his adoptive father's house in Switzerland.

10. What type of abode would they have? He'd travel mainly through his private jet, which is always the nicest, most expensive the public can get their hands on (and sometimes cannot, since he'd be part of huge crime rings), and otherwise nice apartments in the various cities he frequents. His home however would be a big progressively styled artsy looking mansion with a bunch of long hallways with chandeliers and mirrors, and a bunch of unused 'guest' rooms.

Well this is one that takes a little thought.  What would Firie be like in a more modern setting...

1. ... fashion style?  Uh-oh.  Clothing.  Hm.  Fi`'s current clothing is almost completely dictated by what she does.  Battle gear, ceremonial gear, apprentice's garb, appearance of station..  So, in a modern setting, her clothing would be similarly dictated by occupation.  Not that she'd have much regard for it in that sense, either.  I can well see her in an expensive, well-tailored power suit or business skirt, suitable for speaking at a political conference or science convention, and be sacked out face-down on a table at a bar somewhere.

2. ... favorite tv show(s)?  Fi` would be -all- over anime.  Most sorts.  Giant robots, power fights..  a particularly strong showing for Bleach and Trigun.

3. ... favorite movie(s)?  Indiana Jones trilogy, especially Last Crusade.  She'd be -thrilled- at the fight on top of the tank.

4. ... favorite music genre(s) or band(s)?  Metal and punk.  If it's slow, quiet, or sleepy, she doesn't want to hear it.

5. ... favorite food(s)?  Thai curry.  This requires no explanation.

6. ... favorite book(s)?  Fi` is so very much not a 'sit still' person.  She'd only be interested in a book if it could -really- grab her attention and hold it.  Graphic novels especially - she'd love Sandman.

7. ... favorite game(s)?  Any drinking game.  Or all of them.  Plus hockey, if that's not redundant.

8. ... five most treasured posessions?  Five?  Ergh.  Fi`'s not a very material person.  Um.  I can't get this one.  She'd only attach significance to an object due to an outside factor, method of acquisition, or some other reason.  .. though I can see her really being happy with some kind of classic muscle car.  1966 Pontiac GTO or Chevrolet Chevelle.

9. What city would they live in?  Either Denver, Colorado, or Washington DC.

10. What type of abode would they have?  Hole in the wall apartment, probably a studio.  It wouldn't be very neat.

This is actually quite hard for my head.  Heulwen is so much of another world/norms of that world it's difficult to imagine her in ours.  Still!

1. Fashion Style  No one thing.  Wherever she was, she would attempt to blend in.  Always with comfortable shoes and loose clothing, though.

2. Favourite TV Shows  The news.  The weather.  Any high-level competitive combat (Boxing, UFC, Muay Thai, Judo etc etc) for its educational value

3. Favourite Movies  I don't think she'd enjoy movies, they're not real so she'd find them pointless

4. Favourite music/bands Probably wouldn't care about music at all either

5. Favourite food Nutritious but bland foods.  Anything that doesn't leave scent on you or give you gas etc  :)

6. Favourite books Any non-fiction that is educational.  Anything with tactics, techniques, data.

7. Favourite game Games? Surely you jest  ;)  She'd hate games.  Pointless rubbish.
