^_^ I was tagged....
10 years ago
General
I got tagged by 
0ops
Far be it from me not to play along and with the fun. I am, after all, a middle-aged dad who still gets down on the floor with his preschooler and plays with Little People (after 8 kids they have a whole fantastic milieu of their own that Fisher-Price, I am certain, never imagined).....
Graowf would have been kind of hard to do: FA Graowf is largely auto-biographical while story world Graowf is entirely different, so I would have been placed in a weird predicament answering some of the questions. Thus, I chose Proxy for this, which was fun, because I haven't really delved into his character very deeply and some of these questions forced me to -- in fact, I may add those few to my character profile template
RULES :
1. Pick a character you've created.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were that character.
3. Tag at least four people to do this meme
4. Tell people that they been tagged with a link from your journal
Character picked: Prox
1. What is your name?
Prox Edward "Proxy" Fox
2. Do you know why you were named that?
No. My dear mother said it was a family name, but no one in the family has ever been named that as far back as I can trace, though on my grandfather's side on my mother's side of the family there are certain .... ambiguities .... that leave the names and exact identities of certain branches of my ancestry open to question.
3. Single or taken?
Single
4. Have any abilities or powers?
Well, we all have abilities, of course. Mine are rather ordinary, I'm afraid, though I'm told I make a particularly proper Cricket-in-the-Grass shake. I have no special powers.
5. Stop being a Mary Sue!
Well, I ... what? Not hardly!
6. What's your eye color?
Brown
7. How about hair color?
Most of my fur is a shade of auburn, black paws, white around the lower muzzle, neck, and front of my body: very much the usual colors of a true red fox.
8. Have you any family members?
Yes. Well, we all do, but I assume you mean living. Of my imediate family my father, two brothers, and three sisters are still living.
9. Oh? How about pets?
Oh, no, that wouldn't do.
10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
I abhor senseless violence, though I am helpless to come up with a case, in general, where violence IS sensible.
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
I tend to get a great deal of enjoyment from helping Graowf with his, primarily in order to give him a hard time and vainly try to keep him out of trouble.
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Well, we all have, haven't we? I've never hurt anyone intentionally .... well, except once, but it was in self-defense.
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Once. In self-defense. It was horrifying and I still reel from it.
14. What kind of animal are you?
Well, I'm not, purely an animal of any kind, but I highly favor the fox hybrid sub-genon of Canian animalians. It is, however, said that my family line is not pure in the fox lineage and that there are possibly other canian sub-genons represented. Most likely that is from my mother's side through my grandfather. His ancestors were allegedly a wild and unruly skulk.
15. Name your worst habits.
I'm not sure that I have any particularly bad habits. Graowf claims I'm much to much of a homebody.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
I admire Graowf quite a bit, but it might be a stretch to say I look up to him.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Oh, goodness, straight. That's getting a bit personal, isn't it? I mean, what is this about anyway?
18. Do you go to school?
Oh, that was many years ago.
19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Ah. Yes, well, I would, though unless I marry some vixen much younger than my peers, I'm afraid that cubs are in all probability out of the question. I actually almost did once -- marry that is.
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
What? Fans? As in animalians who revere me for some special skill or quality? No, not of which I am aware, anyway.
21. What are you most afraid of?
I most fear losing my dearest friends.
22. What do you usually wear?
What an odd question. Generally, out in public a comfortable double-breasted suit; at home I replace the coat, vest, and tie with a reading jacket.
23. What's one food that tempts you?
Cricket-in-the-Grass ice cream.
24. Am I annoying you?
What? You are a questionnaire. You are all annoying in some respect.
25. Well, it's still not over!
I didn't think it was. This is not a question or request for information. Now I'm definitely annoyed.
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Well, now ... my income falls primarily in the middle class range, but my housemate and dear friend, Graowf, with whom I share all expenses, is inherited aristocracy, so I would have to place my current arrangement in a higher class than middle.
27. How many friends do you have?
Since I only relatively recently moved to Havensedge, I only have a few. In any case, I tend to have numerous acquaintences, but only about 2 or 3 that I feel honored to call friends. "Friend" requires a level of mutual personal investment that is defeated by spreading it too thin.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
Pie. Another pointlessly odd question. I tend not to think much about pie. I do like a good minced true mouse pie now and then -- not because I particularly like it more than other foods, but simply because it brings back sweet feelings of the few memories I have of my mother, who made a most delicious mouse pie when I was a cub.
30. Favorite drink?
Cricket-in-the-Grass shakes.
31. What's your favorite place?
Home, or a stroll on familiar walks in the city visiting the shops and enjoying a mid-day coffee, al fresco.
32. Are you interested in anyone~?
I'm interested in nearly everyone I meet. If the question is intended to explore my romantic interests, no. The vixen who set the bar for me passed away many, many years ago -- though I did recently meet a very young tanuki of whom I find myself very fond. She is much to young for me, however, yet I cannot help but sometimes wonder .... It doesn't matter now, though.
33. That was a stupid question.
Not really. Certainly not nearly as stupid as the pie question. But this is not a question either. Much like #25 it seems to be a lame attempt at comic relief, as if one required comic relief while filling out a questionairre.
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Oh, a lake, definitely.
35. What's your type?
What? I don't understand. If you mean my genon: canian.
36. Any fetishes?
No, I'm not particularly religious.
37. Seme or uke?
What? That makes no sense: small figures in heraldry versus a ukulele? You must be referring to something in the local vernacular outside of Havensedge, or perhaps even outside of Cania, of which I am unfamiliar.
38. Camping or indoors?
By this I assume you are asking if I prefer to sleep outside or inside, in which case I will say indoors, though what I most likely mean by that is "at home."
By the rules I have obliged myself to follow by playing the game, I am supposed to tag at least four others. However, I won't tag you unless you want to play. SO, if you'd like to play, let me know in the comments and I will tag up to four players at random sometime in the next week.

I love the answers you came up with. Proxy seems like a cool little fox.

He's something else. He actually has a nice role in "Aria's Story", forthcoming.
