Interview with Able (Subsapien)

Able (Subsapien)

Me:
Hey, all! I'm back with another character interview! Just another update: I've entered another Writing Contest. *crossing fingers* Well, on to the interview...

Able:
*sitting cross-legged on the floor batting a red rubber ball between his hands, focused on it*

Me:
*sitting on the floor across from them* Hey, Able. How are you?

Able:
*has an underdeveloped voice* I am doing okay.

Me:
Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Able:
Um... I like kitties, lizards, and bugs. I found this kitty once and showed it to Reuben, but he took it and dropped it in a recycle bin. That made me sad. *hugs rubber ball to his chest*

Me:
Aw. I'm sorry.

Able:
It is okay. Reuben is mean a lot. I am used to it.

Me:
*furrows brow sadly* Aw. Who's Reuben exactly?

Able:
He is one of my masters. 

Me:
Your masters?

Able:
*nods* Yes, they take care of me and do tests and things like that.

Me:
*rubs his arm comfortingly* Why is Reuben mean to you?

Able:
*bounces ball* Because I am bad sometimes. That's what Reuben says.

Me:
You're not bad.

Able:
*looks at laptop, wrinkles nose* I don't have a beard. *touches celebrity look-alike picture with his finger*

Me:
*sighs* I know, but he looks the most like you.

Able:
Oh. He does a little. *rubs chin* A beard would be scratchy.

Me:
*sniffs a laugh* Yeah. *looks at ball* Are balls your favorite toy?

Able:
*smiles, nods big* Yes. I have... *counts on his fingers* ...four balls. I had some other ones, but I popped one, another grafting popped one, and Reuben shot one with his gun when I was being annoying. He says I am annoying a lot.

Me:
I don't think you're annoying.

Able:
You are nice.

Me:
*smiles* Well, thank you.

Able:
*his tail flicks into view, eyes lock on it, slaps it with his hand, lifts hand slowly, grooms fur on his tail straight* My tail was being bad.

Me:
*laughs a little*

White Cat:
*walks into room*

Able:
*gasps* Kitty. *crawls over to her, picks her up, scratches her gently under her chin*

White Cat:
*purrs*

Able:
*purrs like a cat, shifts metal wings, keeps petting the cat*

Me:
Well, I think Able is distracted by my cat right now. I hope you enjoyed his interview and if you have any questions for him comment below and subscribe to know when he replies. :) Would you all like to see a Subsapien or Starbloods interview for next week?

Interview with Meldar (Starbloods)

Meldar (Starbloods)

Me:
Hey, all! I'm back with another interview and today's is with Rouyn's brother, Meldar, from Starbloods. *turns to Meldar* Hello, Meldar. How are you?

Meldar:
*sitting on a stool with his white wings folded on his back* Hello, Victoria. I'm doing well.

Me:
*smiles* Good. So, Meldar, tell us a little about yourself.

Meldar:
Well, I'm eighteen reigns of moons, about to graduate lessons and begin my Guardian training. I live with my adoth, naima, and little brother, Rouyn.

Me:
Your adoth and naima?

Meldar:
My father and mother. We sylphs call them "adoth" and "naima".

Me:
Interesting. And what is "Guardian training"?

Meldar:
Training to become one of the most esteemed positions in my colony, a Guardian. Guardians take care of the kind of birds they study for and keep them in balance. I plan to become a Guardian of the Birds of Prey.

Me:
Wow. Are you excited about that?

Meldar:
*smiles* I'm looking forward to it.

Me:
Good luck with that then.

Meldar: 
Thank you.

Me:
What do you think of your younger brother?

Meldar:
*frowns slightly* He's irresponsible, reckless, and he spends too much time with his pegasus, even for an Iadlonu.

Me:
You don't seem to care for him that much. What is an "Iadlonu"?

Meldar: 
A special type of person that can connect in spirit with one intelligent animal such as a pegasus or phoenix or dragon.

Me:
Neat.

Rouyn:
Meldar!

Meldar:
*sighs deeply* Here we go.

Rouyn:
*walks in the room*

Meldar:
I was in the middle of an interview. 

Rouyn:
*frowns* Well you interrupted mine.

Meldar:
What is it?

Rouyn:
*looks at Meldar* Landora and I are going to watch the Moonlight Dance in the woods tonight and I'm spending the night in the woods. I was wondering if you could cover collecting clay tomorrow morning for me?

Meldar:
*sighs through nose, looks at me* Do you see what I mean?

Me:
Yeah. I'm an older sibling, so I feel your pain.

Rouyn:
*looks at Meldar expectantly* So?

Bryce:
*stands in doorway* So what's going on in here?

Rouyn:
*frowns at Bryce*

Me:
*sighs long* Bryce, leave. I'm doing another interview.

Bryce:
Crystal.  *sits on the floor*

Me:
*frowns* What part of "leave" made you think you could stay?

Bryce:
You may not want me here, but the readers do. I'm their favorite and we all know it.

Rouyn:
That's not true. Someone commented on liking both of us.

Bryce:
Who got a vote for favorite character?

Rouyn:
If I was on that poll, they would've voted for me.

Bryce:
*scoffs* Yeah right.

Meldar:
*looks at Bryce* What's going on? Who are you? And what race are you?

Rouyn:
Don't get involved, Meldar.

Bryce:
Bryce. Subsapien. You?

Me:
Okay, boys. Settle down. But Rouyn and Bryce, since you're here, I have some questions for you.

Bryce:
Ugh. Why is it always more questions?

Me:
You interrupted so you get more questions.

Bryce:
Fine.

Rouyn:
*smirks, crosses arms* See you're not the only one who gets questions.

Bryce:
*waves Rouyn off*

Me:
*looks at laptop* They're all from Jedi_Kyra117. Does Rouyn only use a bow, or does he train with other weapons as well?

Rouyn:
Mostly bow. A little bit with a knife, but not that much.

Meldar:
Our race does not encourage violence. We only use it for necessary defense.

Rouyn:
*sighs through nose* I had it.

Me:
Next two questions are for Bryce.

Bryce:
*smirks Rouyn*

Rouyn:
*glares back at him*

Me:
*sighs* Has Pro ever really tied Bryce's tail in a knot?

Bryce:
*shifts* No--not yet.

Rouyn:
Afraid, cat-man?

Bryce:
*growls at Rouyn*

Meldar:
*rubs temples*

Me:
Last question: And Bryce, why do you have to be so antagonistic?

Rouyn:
*smirks*

Bryce:
What?

Meldar:
The definition is hostile or unfriendly.

Bryce:
Huh.  *shrugs* I don't know. Because a lot of people are annoying. *looks at Rouyn*

Me:
Well, that's all we have time for today. I better end this before it breaks into a fight.

Meldar:
But my interview was so short.

Rouyn:
Now you know how I felt. And are you going to cover for me or not?

Meldar:
*opens mouth to say something, breath catches* I don't know. I'll think about it.

Bryce:
*watches Rouyn and Meldar*

Me:
If you have any questions for Rouyn, Meldar or Bryce, comment below and subscribe to know when they reply. :) You can check out more about Meldar's book in current projects, his book's Pinterest board, pictures I've drawn for the book on deviantART and fan art on my Facebook page. Next week's interview is still debatable. Would you like to read one about a Subsapien or Starbloods character? Keep an eye out for more artwork; character interviews and I may try my hand at some writing advice. :) I hope you enjoyed this interview! Thanks for reading. :)

Interview with Rouyn (Starbloods)

Rouyn (Starbloods)

Me:
Hey, all! I'm back with another character interview and today's is with, as the description says, Rouyn. He's from my fantasy series. And--

*lights go out*

Me:
Um... I'm not sure what's happening to the lights.

*lights come back on*

Rouyn:
*flips the lights back off with the light switch*

Me:
Rouyn, can you stop that, please?

*lights turn on*

Rouyn: 
I'm sorry. The enchanted lever was tempting. *blushes, laughs nervously, sits down in his chair*

Me:
So, Rouyn, tell us about yourself.

Rouyn:
Let's see. I live in cave in the side of mountain with my parents, older brother and pegasus as members of Ibreain's sylph colony.

Me:
What are sylphs?

Rouyn:
Winged people and guardians of the birds.

Me:
Interesting, but if you're supposed to be winged, why don't you have wings?

Rouyn:
I'm human. I was adopted. *frowns, looks at laptop* Is that supposed to be a painting of me? I'm not that old. I'm only sixteen reigns of moons.

Me:
It was the closest celebrity picture I could find that looked like you.

Rouyn:
Celebrity?

Me: 
I'll explain later. What do you mean by "reigns of moons"?

Rouyn:
Another name for "years".

Me:
*nods* And you have a pegasus?

Rouyn:
Yes, I found her when I was younger and we've been friends ever since when--

Bryce: 
*walks in, drops half and half carton in my lap* You're out of half and half.

Me:
*picks up carton, frowns* You drank the whole carton?

Bryce:
*wipes away milk mustache* Uh huh.

Rouyn: 
*squints at Bryce*

Me:
I said, you could have half of the half and half.

Bryce:
I got confused with all the "halfs." *sniffs, looks at Rouyn* Who the heck are you? *stifles a laugh* Why the heck are you wearing a dress?

Rouyn:
*frowns, glances down at his toga* It's a toga.

Bryce:
*grins* Looks like a dress to me, pretty boy.

Rouyn:
*glares at Bryce, stands up quickly picking up bow, notches an arrow on the string, points it at Bryce* Say that again.

Bryce:
What up with the pointy sticks?

Me:
Whoa. Whoa. Okay. No weapons in the house.

Rouyn:
*motions head to swords mounted on my bedroom wall* What do you call those?

Me:
They're decorative.  *holds out bow* Bow.

Rouyn:
But-

Me:  
*wiggles fingers* Bow.

Rouyn:
*sighs through nose, surrenders bow to me*

Me:
*takes bow, sets it beside me*

Bryce:
*smirks at Rouyn* Pretty boy, got his toys taken away.

Rouyn:
*clenches fist* I can still punch you.

Me:
Boys, no fighting. And, Bryce, why is it you interrupt most of the interviews?

Bryce:
*shrugs* I don't know.

Me:
*sighs deeply* Well, while you're here, you have a few questions from some readers.

Bryce:
*sits on the floor cross-legged* Hit me with them.

Rouyn:
*sits down in his chair, crosses arms*

Me: 
The first one is from Target-Locked. He or she asks, "Does Bryce like girls that have blue eyes and blonde hair or girls with green eyes and brown hair?"

Bryce:
Um... Okay. I kind of like blondes, I guess, but I don't really care as long as they're pretty. Why does this person ask?

Me:
*shrugs* Next question: Project-Shadow asks, "How many years apart are Bryce and his brother?"

Bryce:
About two years, I think. I don't know Matt's and I's birthdays.

Rouyn:
Not to seem rude, but I thought this was my interview.

Me:
Sorry, Rouyn. Had to have the reader questions answered. Where were we?

Meldar:
*from other room* Rouyn!

Rouyn:
*flinches* 

Meldar:
*walks into room, has big white wings on his back* There you are. Adoth and I have been looking all over for you. You are not getting out of chores again. I actually have other things to do than cover for you.

Rouyn:
*sighs, stands up* I suppose this is farewell. *holds out hand to me* May I have my bow back?

Me:
*hands him bow* Bye.

Rouyn:
*waves*

Meldar:
*rolls eyes, grabs Rouyn's arm, drags him out*

Rouyn: 
*stumbles out*

Bryce:
*sniffs, squints, watches them leave*

Me:
Since we lost the character I was interviewing with I guess this a good place to stop. I hope you had fun reading that. :) If you have any questions for Bryce or any other of my Subsapien characters or Rouyn and Meldar comment below and subscribe to know when they reply. You can check out more about Rouyn's book in current projects, his book's Pinterest board, pictures I've drawn for the book on deviantART and fan art on my Facebook page.

Interview with Bryce... Again (Subsapien)

Bryce (Subsapien)

Me:
Hey, all! I'm back with another character interview with Bryce from my science-fiction series Subsapien prompted by a reader's request. :) Just a bit of news: Remember that contest I entered at NextGen Writers Conference? I won third place. ^ ^ So excited. Anyway... back to the interview.

Bryce:
*sitting in a chair eating from two bags of beef jerky, has a big carton half and half beside him*

Me:
Hey, Bryce. How are you?

Bryce:
*mouthful* Just skip to the questions. I'm only here for the food.

Me:
Okay. First question: Do you have any siblings?

Bryce:
*frowns slightly, drinks from carton getting milk on his face, wipes his mouth* A brother.

Me:
*nods* What's your favorite color?

Bryce:
Uh. Yellow? Where are you getting these questions?

Me:
*smirks* Places. Do you like pineapples?

Bryce:
What the heck are pineapples?

Me:
They're fruit.

Bryce: 
*wrinkles nose* I hate fruit. *stuffs another piece of jerky in his mouth*

Me:
Lemon or lime?

Bryce:
I don't even know what you're saying!

Me:
They're fruit.

Bryce:
Like I said I hate fruit!

Me: 
Fish or beef?

Bryce:
Finally! Words I understand. Fish.

Me:
Would you eat fish jerky if someone made it?

Bryce:
Uh. Sure.

Me: 
Spots or stripes?

Bryce:
*swishes spotted tail* Spots. Duh.

Pro:
*from other room* Bryce! Where are you? You're going to get your butt kicked, if you don't get back before Dom notices!

Bryce:
*growls, gathers up bags and carton* I gotta go.

Pro: 
*leans in doorway* Come on, kitty.

Bryce:
*hisses at Pro*

Pro:
I rest my case.

Me:
I guess you guys have to leave, but I've got one question for you, Pro.

Bryce: 
*pushes past Pro into the hall, mumbles* This was a waste of time...

Pro:
No more questions. *turns to leave*

Me:
Come on. Just one. It's from Jedi_Kyra117 again.

Pro:
*groans* Fine. What is it?

Me:
"Pro, what do you remember of your life before you came to work with ROTA?"

Pro:
I lived with my parents. I took Kung Fu, wrestling, and played softball at school.

Bryce:
*from other room* Come on, man-girl!

Pro:
I swear, I'm going to tie your tail in a knot when we get back! *runs into hall*

Me:
*calls after them* Don't kill each other! *rubs eyes* Being an author is like being a mom sometimes. I hope you enjoyed that--interesting interview.
