Character Builder Questions

As I promised, here are the first four character builder questionaires I've given my players.

The first one should be given shortly after character creation or at the first session (depending on time constraints). The rest are just before the session starts.

I tell my players up front that the answers will not be used for anything other than to give their characters more detail in their minds. Granted, I will use an interesting tidbit and will certainly give consideration to a player who actively uses an answer in game (like the Shaktar who orders cranberry juice at every bar the squad goes to).

Oh, interesting side note, every player answered question #12 with "Yes, in myself".

Enjoy,
Ryan
