Well, this took far longer than I expected it would have. I had to work on this over the course of afew days thanks to all of the work I'm currently bogged down with. That being said, there are some questions that are better answered than others. Case in point, what was question 5 I made one of the last to try and better fit for the ending. Originally, I had a better scene to go with the question, however I accidentally saved over it. Anyway, for those of you who know my characters (and those who don't I suppose) I hope you enjoy this.




1. Shade (My main OC character...whom always seems to linger in the background, looked over by most other characters)
2. Adam (The son of Shade and Mimiru)
3. Cicada (Insane, twisted psychopath of a dark being)

Note: Over the years, both Shade and Adam have gone through a few personality changes. For those who know these characters, I'm going to go with my envision for Shade shortly after the end of my RP. Far as Adam goes, I'll be using his current mindset.)

1. What was your childhood like?
---
<Shade> If I ever once had memories of my original childhood, they are far gone. After living through countless different lifetimes, such things became buried deep...though I suppose it doesn't matter at this point.
<Adam>*sigh* What childhood? No way in hell I could call fighting for survival day after day while my parents continuously changed, ignored, and outright hurt me a childhood...at least...not until the end of my first reset. Not to mention, my age along with Lilith's was always altered to be accelerated...so we never had time to develop fond memories.
<Shade>*places his hand on Adam's shoulder*You have no idea how much I regret that...I was too blinded by the darkness to see how important you were to me. *He lowers his head* Thus now I'm hardly what you could call a father...
<Adam>Don't say that Dad...after what you did I th-
<Cicada>*suddenly barges his way through and past both Shade and Adam, breaking them apart* Tssh! Sentimental bullshit. Thanks to your dumbassed mistake you left your poor little son with a prick of a father, and what do you do? Right when that husk of yours has a chance for redemption, you destroy him. *He smirks and laughs menacingly* And all for the good of the "Balance" am I right?
<Shade and Adam*!? *Both make a rush for him when they are suddenly stopped by a dark barrier in which cicada is now leaning on with one hand*
<Cicada>Heheh, ah, my childhood...If it taught me one thing it's how to embrace my true nature.

2. If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? (It can be something regarding your personal history, or something that is in the history books.)

<Shade>I would make sure that when i was sent to Mimiru's world, that I wouldn't create that pseudo shell-soul of my self..but rather have allowed myself to occupy that body. That way, I never would have become mad with power, Adam and Lilith would have had a father they could look up to...and perhaps Mimiru and I would still be together today.
<Adam>If I ever got the chance...*clenches his fists* I'd use the power of the purification against them..and reset them out of existence.
<Cicada>What a thoughtless question. What could you be trying to gain from asking such things, hmm? Some sort of self-satisfaction for your own pathetic curiosity? There isn't a thing I'd ever want to change about the past. *Pauses for a moment, then raising his eyebrow with a smirk* Then again, feel free to ask again at the end of this meme if your blood isn't stained on my gloves by then.

3. Would you rather be immortal and eternally miserable, or live a mortal, blissfully peaceful life?

<Shade>Throughout all the years that I've lived...I've finally learned that you can experience and learn more in once mortal lifetime with others, than alone and immortal. At this point, I'd rather live one last lifetime watching over my children until my time came.
<Adam>I might have to agree with my Dad...After seeing what his immortal life was like..there's no way in hell i'd want to go through the same thing. So long as I can be with Lilith, Mom, and Dad, I'll take that mortal life.
<Cicada>*Grunts in annoyance* What? Another failed attempt at a philosophical question? I'm immortal...heh...obviously...and I can say with a smile that I'm FAR from miserable.

--
4. How much do you weigh?

<Shade>That all depends on which form I choose to take. In my human form, I'd say around 190 pounds. In my hedgehog form, however, I usually weigh around 90.
<Adam>Well, seeing how I've already been forced to my peak of growth, I'm about...*shrug* 85 pounds?


--
5. Oh, no! You've just strolled into a department store to admire the lovely washing machines when a guy with a nylon stocking over his head runs in and holds the whole store at gunpoint! How will you save the day? (If you are a coward and do not wish to save the day, what do you do upon Stocking Head's arrival?)

<Shade>I'd probably simply destroy his gun and incapacitate him...I'll let the authorities do the rest. I'm no crime fighter, however...that's only if I happen to be there.
<Adam>Meh...If that happened to me, I'd probably just leave the store. The people around me are probably human..same goes for that guy. I'll let them clean up their own messes.
<Cicada>*He holds up a corpse of a human, stabbed through the stomach by a long blade that is now his arm..slowly sliding down to his shoulder. The human is a spitting image of the description of the robber*

--

6. Tell your best "Yo Momma" joke.

<Shade>......
<Adam>...You've got to be kidding me *facepalm*
<Cicada>What is hacked, slashed, and red all over?...*Twisted smile* Yo Momma.
<Shade and Adam>....

--

7.Who is the one person you cannot live without? Why? (Please don't say Oprah, please don't say Oprah...)

<Shade>I used to be very independent before I met Mimiru, Brad, and Sam. Another person be it an ally or enemy, never really phased me much. Now, however....That'd probably be my children.
<Adam>If I had to choose one person, it's my twin sister, Lilith. She and I have always had this special bond...like...She always knew what was on my mind or how I was feeling at the time..and knew exactly how to comfort me. I guess it's that rumored bond between twins.
<Cicada>Tssh...people. So long as one person is left ALIVE I cannot live.

--

8. Tell me one of your deepest, darkest secrets. To make you feel better, I'll tell one of mine: I don't have any deep, dark secrets.

<Shade>...There are far too many I've accumulated over the years...and they are secret for a reason.
<Adam>*growls in annoyance* Isn't that a little forward? Well, there's no way in hell I'm going to give away a secret like that, however I can say that I'm starting to lighten up to Zex...but he'll never replace my dad...ever.
<Cicada>....*twitch* YOU should know your PLACE! *Morphs his arm into a blade and holds it up to the neck of this Meme's creator*

--

9. What kind of music do you listen to? Do you play any instruments? If so, which ones? (Yes...the kazoo counts. Your nose, however, does not.)

<Shade>There's a countless amount of different types of music I've heard in my travels, and generally, I'm open minded enough to enjoy all of them. However as of right now, my favorites would have to be Jazz, Rock, and classical music.
<Adam>Eh *shrug* I've always liked Rock...I guess a little bit of classical music.
<Cicada>Hehehe...metal or thrash....I can't think of a better overture while I burn worlds to the ground.

--

10. What is the most annoying thing in the world?

<Shade>There's no point in allowing yourself to get too annoyed over any one thing. However, it's frustrating to see how people in so many worlds portray the darkness as something evil or negative. What's more is the people who fail to try and understand it, and only use it for selfish gain.
<Adam>Ugh...I swear, sometimes Kine can really get on my nerves. In the most dire of situations he can be such a god damn fool and act way out of place. Not to mention he doesn't know that he shouldn't try and lecture ME when he knows absolutely NOTHING about what's going on.
<Cicada>*He raises his arm perpendicular to his body and opens his palm. A white orb floats in the middle of his palm. He sighs, smirking while he speaks* All these rules and restrictions. *He begins to close his hand around the orb...when his hand suddenly freezes. Sparks of dark energy emit from his hand when then the orb rises out of his palm and floats off into the distance. Cicada watches the orb float off, his eye twitching in annoyance*

--

11. Finish the statement: Art is...

<Shade>A work that truly brings out the meaning of something...at least that's how I see it. There is no real definition for Art, rather only what we make it to be.
<Adam>*Raises an eyebrow* Wow dad, you really are philosophical.
<Shade>Heh..*He shrugs*I'm just open minded I guess.
<Adam>As far as me, I never really thought too much about Art..or even looking at it...never had the time to. It's interesting I guess.
<Cicada>Art is one of my FAVORITE things to destroy when eliminating a world. Watching those enthusiasts squirm about helpless, or even sacrificing their own pathetic lives for such a thing can be one of my greatest enjoyments!

--

12. Finish the statement: People are...

<Shade>Foolish,wise,giving,greedy,caring,cruel....When you have traveled as many worlds as I have...seen all the different cultures, intelligent species, and governments, you find that you can no longer place people under one divine judgment. It differs depending on the world you're in, and furthermore, how you personally see them. As for my children's world...the people there can be blind and easily ignorant to what is going on around them....overall foolish.
<Adam>I'll have to agree with Dad...at least the last part. Most people are fools and are always only out for themselves. I doesn't surprise me that a group like the purification began from people like them.
<Cicada>Heheheh...When you've traveled to as many worlds as I HAVE....people are all the same. Every last one of them are greedy and selfish underneath the surface.*With a grin* Thieves and hypocrites, killing for gain, trading money for life and Morales....tearing themselves apart just to survive..just to be BETTER than the other. Such a tragedy...the tragedy of OUR nature.

--

13. Finish the statement: Imagination...

<Shade>is an ideal way to learn and accept the truth of what is around you. It allows you to accept changes and new experiences better than those without it.
<Adam>Heh, yeah...I guess Dad has some good points there as well, but it's a little different for me. When i was captured by the purification, my imagination was the only thing that kept me from turning completely. It gave me hope for myself, my sister, and parents...and above all...it kept me sane.
<Cicada>It's a great way to come up with so many ideas on how to take care of the next world! After all, killing the same way over and over again can get so...boring. I like to mix things up a-bit! *twisted smile*

--

14.Out of all of you, who is the most outgoing? Reserved? Humorous? Stinky?

<Shade>Well, I don't think Cicada fits any of those descriptions. Heh, well...except for stinky perhaps.
<Cicada>....*His eye twitches, though he maintains his smile*Oh am I now?*His arm starts to turn into a blade*How about you share your findings with the class, hmm?
<Shade>*Smirk*By the will of the darkness or not Cicada, with all that blood you get on you, I'd wish you'd at least wash it off.
<Cicada>Really?! Then how about I use YOUR blood as my detergent! *He begins to rush at Shade, only to be frozen in place a second later, his eye twitching*Ah...rules and restrictions, wasn't it?
<Adam>....Uh...yeah...well I guess Dad is far more Reserved than me. But I don't think any of us are all that humorous.
<Shade>Indeed. As far as outgoing, I'll defenately have to give that to my son. I can probably thank his demonic side for that. He always has been quite aggressive to others that annoy him.
<Adam>...>_>'

--

15.Quick! Write a poem!

<Shade>....Sorry...but I cant create a poem on a whim.I do enjoy writing poetry, yes, but only when I have a feeling or idea behind what it is I want to write.
<Adam>I don't write poetry >_>
<Cicada>The streets become red,Fire consumes blue. If you people arn't careful, you'll see what I mean too. 8D

--

16.What is your favorite word?

<Shade>Devotion...no matter what happens from here on out, I'll always be devoted to protecting my children.
<Adam>Family....Because after everything that's happened...I'd want nothing more than to be able to have my old family again.
<Cicada>Heh...Revenge....against all of those just like me.

--

17.What is one weird thing that you can do? (i.e. wiggle your ears, fold your tongue, play 'amazing grace' with your armpit...)

<Shade>....Well...*He changes into his hedgehog form* After being in this form for so long and visiting many different versions of Sonic's world...*He suddenly curls up into a ball and begins to spin-dash for a mere second before standing and changing back*. It...isn't something I find very useful though.
<Adam>....*He stares at his father, stifling a laugh*R-right then..uhm...no, I don't have any strange things I can do...good riddance.
<Cicada>*He smirks at his right hand which slowly turns into an lance*I do believe we've already established this for me, don't you?

--

18.Speak any other languages?

<Shade>Most of the languages I've once had to learn are now long gone. There are so many unique languages to each world..and for that matter..once I leave, I no longer have a use for them.
<Adam>I only know how to speak English.It's a huge waste of time to bother trying to learn another.
<Cicada>English,German,French, whatever it may be!...*He holds up his bladed arm* I communicate in my own...special way. *smirk*

--

19.Pick: asparagus or canned peas? Please elaborate.

<Shade>....asparagus.
<Adam>....What dad said.
<Cicada>Oooooh, is the author a vegetarian perhaps? I think I'll have them watch me slaughter some sheep before I'm done with them!

--

20.What scares you the most?

<Shade>Losing my children...*He looks down at the ground*Now more than ever since I've already lost someone who was once just as important.
<Adam>.....Dad...*He's about to continue with his sentence..but then hesitates and goes silent for a moment, sighing*The Purification...if they ever came back..I honestly wouldn't know what to do..or how to fight them.
<Cicada>*Wags his finger back and fourth* Ah ah ah, I'm so sorry, but that's confidential stuff.

--

21.What is one thing you would like the world to know about you?

<Shade>Even after everything that has happened, the less everyone knows about me the better. I'd rather not draw any attention to myself.
<Adam>fft...like I care what the world thinks about me or not...pass.
<Cicada>...*Slowly moves closer and closer towards the audience and finally whispers* I'm coming for you 8D

--

22.If you could trade lives with someone you know for a day, who would it be, and why?

<Shade>Zex....so that I may leave her with a positive note this time instead.
<Adam>...*He shuts his eyes and clenches his right fist for a moment as his dad says this..but holds his tongue*I...I guess my Dad. I want to see what it's like going through what he did...and fully understand why he did what he did.
<Cicada>Heheh, what a pathetic question. I'm more than happy with who I am!

--

23.Would you make out with the person listed below you? (And for the one in last, the one above you?)

<Shade, Adam, and Cicada>................NO!

--

25. ....how about for a million dollars.

<Shade>This is pointless...
<Adam>*His eyes flare red*What kind of sick person asks these things?!
<Cicada>...*Suddenly begins laughing at the mention of the question* See?! I was right!

--

25.Have you ever loved and lost? I'll bet it was your fault, wasn't it? Tsk tsk...

<Shade>*sigh*Mimiru....she was the only one I have ever truly loved. Despite how long I've lived, all of the false relationships...she is the only one. And ultimately, it was my fault as to why we're apart. I allowed my soul to become overrun with darkness...severing any hope I had from saving her from the purification. Then, when she and I were finally together again, I reclaimed that piece of my soul, wiping myself from existence....I regret that choice to this day.
<Adam>....Dad...Why...*He clenches his fists, a tear dropping from his eye*Why don't you just TELL her!?
<Shade>...Ad-
<Adam>Dont you get it?! You and mom have LITERALLY gone through hell and back together! You fought side by side...protecting each other..protecting US. And you BOTH went up against the purification to save Lilith and I. *He raises his hand and points at Shade* And I KNOW that you were hoping to reconcile with her afterwords...and you DID! I know that there is Zex, yes...but he'll just have to learn! Maybe if yo-
<Shade>NO!....Adam. It's too late for your mother and I. I've already made my choice..as she has hers. She's with someone now who truly cares for her...and she him. Besides, she probably no longer cares now.
<Adam>...that's....THAT'S BULLSHIT!*A blast of demonic energy emits from Adam as he takes a step towards his father*How the hell could you think that after everything that's happened?! Why do you think she came along to save you from the dark realm?! And the day you that caused all that...don't you remember how hard she fought to pull you away from those dark creatures?! I can tell..when I mention you...SHE STILL LOVES YOU DAD! And I can tell just by looking at you that you still love her too! GODDAMMIT, don't you want us to be a family again?! DO SOMETHING! TELL HE-*Shade suddenly disappears from his sight as a sudden burst of wind passes him. A sharp pressure like pain then enters his neck and wrist as he's suddenly pushed to his knees.*
<Shade>THAT'S ENOUGH, ADAM! *His eyes are filled with anger as he holds his son down and scolds him. His arms, however, begin to shake a slight bit...this was the first time in years since he's scolded his son..or ever had gotten so angry with him*
<Adam>*In an instant, Adam goes silent..his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide. He didn't expect a move like this from his dad...or just how much more powerful he is over him. After a moment he finally speaks up*S-sorry...I'm sorry *He tightly shuts his eyes, a tear rolling down his face as does a tear on his father's, simultaneously*
<Cicada>*Is just in the background, laughing as he watches the two argue*Shade...you gave up everything for this? Heh, you idiot.

--

26. Lastly, what do you think is the meaning of life?

<Shade>Life...is simply what you make of it. Perhaps there may be some predetermined purpose for one's self, but in the long run, we choose what our purpose is.
<Adam>Hell if I know. Now that I know other worlds exist, I'm just glad it's more than having to relive The Purification's shit over and over -_-'
<Cicada>Ah, right you are, Shade. Life is indeed what you make it....KEEPING it is a whole other problem though!
