Survey 1: The IC Edition
Mar. 6th, 2014 11:58 pmPart 1: The Basics
❧ What is your full name?
Harvey S. Finevoice
❧ Where and when were you born?
Chicago, August 30, 1974
❧ Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My mother was named Anna. She was a waitress. Hard job, but y'know, I don't think I ever once heard her have a bad thing to say about anyone at that place. I know some of 'em were real jerks, too - it was a different time, y'know? But she was just kinda like that. She got sick my last year of high school. I wanted to drop out to help take care of her, but she wouldn't hear a darn thing about that. Chased me right outta the house a couple times.
She died a couple months after I turned eighteen.
My old man's name was Joe. He was a cop.
❧ Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
Nope. Only child.
❧ Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Oh, man. Guess I'll try.
I'm sharin' an apartment in Minnesota right now with a buncha folks. More than the place oughta really fit, I think the kid did somethin' to it. The kid's Linkara. He's a comic book reviewer, good with science and magic and all that stuff. He's Liz's boyfriend - yeah, she has a boyfriend - she lives with us too. And 90s Kid. I dunno if you know about him, he ain't been here as long. He's...a teenager. Likes guns. Loud.
Then there's the Ninja-Style Dancer. He's from another dimension too. I think the name kinda describes him, but he's a great guy, really. Pollo and Nimue are our robots. Red doesn't get out much, unless you count her drivin' the spaceship, but I like her. A lot less scary than she looks.
No, I don't mean the Pollo that's here. The real Pollo's a little blue robot, not usually known for killin' people.
Look, why don't we just move on?
❧ What is your occupation?
I'm a singer. That's why you're interviewin' me.
❧ Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
You can see me!
Fine, yeah, that makes sense. I'm about six foot back home - yeah, that's pretty normal for humans. Yeah. Brown hair, blue eyes...I dress pretty much like I do now, except with pants.
❧ To which social class do you belong?
I do okay for myself. Better in Equestria than back home, honestly.
❧ Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
No.
❧ Are you right- or left-handed?
Right-handed.
❧ What does your voice sound like?
...fine. Or so they say.
❧ What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Well, I guess I do use the term "kid" a lot.
❧ What do you have in your pockets?
Hm...couple bits, handkerchief, house keys.
❧ Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
What the hay is that supposed to mean?
Part 2: Growing Up
❧ How would you describe your childhood in general?
It was fine.
❧ What is your earliest memory?
...I don't know, why? Lemme see those questions.
❧ How much schooling have you had?
That's fine, I told you I went through high school.
❧ Did you enjoy school?
Does anyone?
❧ Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
❧ While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
❧ While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Hm...yeah, this ain't all that interestin'. Let's just move on - you folks wanna hear about the music, right?
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
❧ What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
I used to have a couple shows I watched on the road, but these Equestrian radio shows ain't really the same. I do like cookin', too, when I'm home.
❧ What is your most treasured possession?
My tommygun. [He's probably lying.]
❧ What is your favorite color?
Blue. And black, I guess.
❧ What is your favorite food?
I always like a good steak. Nope, don't worry about what that is.
❧ What, if anything, do you like to read?
Mysteries are fun. I used to like the occasional horror story, before my life turned into one.
❧ What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
Now, if you asked the kids that, they'd say I was into old stuff. Me, I'd say I like the classics.
❧ Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
No.
❧ How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Those're my nights at the Decanter, unless I'm on tour. I head there around eight, get ready for my set. There ain't too much to prepare there, really, unless I've gotta go over the set list with Bertie, so mostly I just grab a bite to eat with Flare before I head onstage.
After the show's done, I might hang around a little bit before headin' home. Liz goes out to her game nights on Saturdays, so she ain't home anyway. I usually wait up for her before I go to sleep.
❧ What makes you laugh?
Plenty of things. Linkara's show was always funny.
❧ What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
I like to think I ain't gonna be too shocked by anything anymore. But now that I've said that, it's gonna get worse.
❧ What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
You say that like it ain't ever happened.
❧ How do you deal with stress?
I just get outta the house for a while, maybe go on a drive.
❧ Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I'd prefer to have a plan, but that don't always happen.
❧ What are your pet peeves?
Bein' pulled between dimensions.
❧ What is your full name?

Harvey's pretty explicitly from the other side of the fourth wall, so he's likely to recognize anyone from any really major work. He's not nearly as deep into pop culture as his housemates, but he's lived with them long enough to pick up tidbits about things like Star Trek, Doctor Who, and various assorted comics. He also enjoys Pokemon of his own accord, but isn't known to play any other specific video games, so we'll just go ahead and not worry about that.Also, I doubt anyone is gonna be apping from one of his soaps.
He's sensible enough not to run around telling everyone they're fictional, but I'm willing to just not have him recognize a character if you're not cool with it. He also won't recognize anything that came out after November 2012, as per his canon point.
Previous game CR
Harvey's AU is based on
itsjustagamerp, where he has been stuck on the Satellite of Love from Mystery Science Theater 3000 for the past year and a half. Listed below are the characters he had strong cross-canon CR with, or at least knew by more than a passing glance in the halls. If you would rather this CR not affect her interactions with your version of the character, please let me know.
* the entire main cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000
* Minako Aino from Sailor Moon
* Aqua, Sora, Riku, Xion, and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts
* Doctor Doofinschmirtz and Perry from Phineas and Ferb
* Kaldur'ahm and Dick Grayson from Young Justice
* Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Discord, and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
* Zidane from Final Fantasy IX
* Amaterasu and Chibiterasu from Okami
And possibly a few others, I'll let you know if I missed someone.
Hacking entries
I'll take this on a case-by-case basis.
Violence
Also case-by-case. Although as a fair warning he will probably attempt to shoot anyone that messes with Iron Liz.
Romance
Um...I guess I'm not opposed to it, if it comes up?
