Q & A
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your character's favourite colour, or what the relationship with their mother was like, their lap dancer name, whatever.
2. I respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know your character better.
3. You update your characters IJ with the answers to the questions, and comment to this post with a link to your answers.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else's character, or even players, in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions about either themselves or their characters.
1) Is there one think that annoys Ferrand about Europeans that he could change if he could?
Europeans, as a whole he's found, tend to be so blasé and word-weary about things. He'd like to give them that fresher and new outlook on life that those in the colonies, as a whole, seem to have.
2) What did he do to amuse himself on the voyage over from Canada?
He wrote. He had a couple of spare notebooks that he'd purchased while in America and he reasoned that he could always buy new ones when he landed in Europe so he filled them up with letters to his sister and his cousins, long, flowery (and quite terrible) descriptions of the Atlantic and, more importantly, his experiences during the American Civil War. If he ever manages to get back home he wants to try and get them published because he saw things that he could never get printed in a newspaper but need to be told anyway.
3) What is the most dangerous situation Ferrand has ever been in, and how did he get out of it?
It's a toss-up between the storm that nearly capsized the ship he was on during the crossing to Europe (it lasted just over eight hours and he was certain they were all going to die for six of those) and December 31st 1775, otherwise known as the Battle of Québec. He remembers sitting in his lodgings listening to the gunfire not three streets away thinking that this could be the end of everything he knew and praying for the British to lose.
4) How has his attitude towards the French nobility changed?
His opinion towards the nobility as a whole hasn't changed, having something as disruptive as that done to your people on the whim of someone across an ocean isn't something you get over lightly, but his opinion towards the nobles themselves has. He's actually quite fond of them as individuals for the most part, he's had friends (and one or two lovers) amongst them, and he doesn't think they deserve what's happening to them now.
5) What is the piece of journalism that Ferrand is most proud of?
Probably his report on the Treaty of Paris, the reason for his coming over here in the first place, as it meant his newspaper requested that he stay in Europe and continue working for them there. It obviously must have been some of his best work else they'd never have asked him, would they? He's actually got the spread (front page, he'd like to add) framed and put up in his room in Paris - his sister sent him a copy after it was printed.
