Horace - Treecko
Gary - Bidoof


Describe yourself in one sentence.

Horace: "Pure awesomeness!"

Gary: "Umm, I don't know... I'm Gary, I guess?"


What do you think is your best quality?

Horace: "My stunning good looks, of course." (wink)

Gary: "Uh, m-my brain. I like to th-think that I'm sm-smart."


If you were able to change any of your traits, what would it be?

Horace: "I wouldn't change a thing. The most important thing is to be comfortable with who you are."

Gary: "W-well, maybe I could st-stop being such a coward..."


Now describe your teammate(s) in one sentence each.

Horace: "A nice guy, maybe a little awkward socially, but a good friend."

Gary: "He's the first person other than my brother to acknowledge me."


Do you think you make friends easily?

Horace: "Yeah, I'm pretty outgoing."

Gary: "W-well, I'm shy around most people, s-so no."


Are you content with your life in general?

Horace: "Yep. I've got some good friends, and a steady flow of things to do in the guilds. Life is good."

Gary: "Um, I guess so."


What are your feelings about your family?

Horace: "Well, it's been a while since I heard from my dad, and my mom died. But I love them both. That will never stop being true."

Gary: "I only really know my brother, but h-he was my only friend before meeting Horace. We're close."


How were you educated?

Horace: "I went to school in Mosswood, studying under some of the town elders and former guild members. And my dad, a retired Tracker, taught me how to fight."

Gary: "Mostly from things my brother told me, and reading all the books he brought me from his travels."


What is your favorite hobby?

Horace: "I'm very into music. I want to be as good with my flute as my dad is."

Gary: "W-well, I still like to read, and the Scholars have an amazing library. S-so I just borrow books from them."


What career do you hope to pursue in the future?

Horace: "It's so hard to choose. Bandit hunter, musician, actor... they're all so cool!"

Gary: "W-well, I might join the Scholars, see if they have any use for me."


What sort of religion do you belong to, if any?

Horace: "I'm not big on religion. My policy is to forge my own path, not walk one someone else set for me. Unless it happens to go the same way my path does, in which case I guess it's ok."

Gary: "I-I don't believe in any gods. They never answered me in the past, so what evidence is there that they're even real?"


How good is your sense of direction?

Horace: "Pretty good. My dad taught me how to tell the direction by looking at the sky, and how to read a map."

Gary: "M-my hat helps me keep track of the compass, but I can't read maps to save my life.


As of now, what do you think is your greatest regret?

Horace: "Not doing more to save my mother."

Gary: "N-not standing up to the bullies in F-Fernfrond.


Describe the strangest dream you’ve ever had.

Horace: "Well, this one time, I fell asleep in the rain, so I dreamed that I was a boat. It was weird."

Gary: "I-I'd rather not talk about it..."


What is something you do that others may consider odd?

Horace: "I'm not sure. I haven't asked."

Gary: "W-well, my stuttering can sometimes be w-weird to people who don't know me."


How often have you seen your grandparents?

Horace: "They stopped coming around after my mom got sick. Last I saw of them was when I left Mosswood."

Gary: "I never met them. They went missing before even my brother was born. I'm not sure what happened to them."


What are some of your pet peeves?

Horace: "I don't like people touching my hat."

Gary: "W-well, I don't really have any. I'm not the kind of person to get annoyed over little things."


In battle, would you be willing to take a hit for any of your teammates?

Horace: "Absolutely. He's my best friend. I won't let him get hurt if I can help it."

Gary: "Y-yeah, I think I would. B-but I hope I don't have to."


Do you think any of your teammates would take a hit for you?

Horace: "I think he would want to. I'm just worried that he might actually do it. I don't want him getting injured or killed on my behalf."

Gary: "Yeah. He's protective of me, like my brother was."


What physical weaknesses do you believe you have?

Horace: "I'm weak to extreme temperatures, which compounds my weaknesses as a Grass type. It made sparring with my dad hard sometimes, since he used the cold as a weapon sometimes."

Gary: "I'm not very strong. A-about the best my Headbutt can do is wind an enemy."


Do you consider yourself to be a risk-taker?

Horace: "Yep. Go big or go home!"

Gary: "I like to be careful."


Have you ever killed or come close to killing anyone else?

Horace: "...Maybe, in a sense. I don't want to talk about it right now."

Gary: "G-gosh! That's horrible! Why would I ever do that?"


What is your earliest memory?

Horace: "My mom, smiling down at me from above."

Gary: "W-well, I have a lot of them, and I'm not sure which ones came first, but the good ones are of my brother."


Share a favorite moment from your childhood.

Horace: "Learning from my dad."

Gary: "Reading in my brother's library."


Can you cook?

Horace: "I can try, but about the best you'll get is slightly burnt berries."

Gary: "N-no, I'm too clumsy. M-my brother always cooked back home."


What qualities would you look for in a potential mate?

Horace: "Trust me, you'll know if you're my type." (wink)

Gary: "U-um, I'm not really looking for one... I don't think I could handle the responsibility. I guess just someone who's nice to me."


Do you think you work well under pressure?

Horace: "I do my best work when I feel there's something worth working for."

Gary: "N-no. I'm terrible under pressure. I just break down."


Do you prefer to interact with large groups of people or small?

Horace: "It depends on who those people are. A few good friends are better than many bad friends, but a lot of good friends are even better."

Gary: "I'm more comfortable with just a c-couple of people."


What does it take to get you smiling?

Horace: "Not much. I'm an easygoing guy. I like to laugh, and make others laugh."

Gary: "Just being with friends is enough for me."


When was the last time you cried?

Horace: "When my mom died."

Gary: "When I left Fernfrond, and said goodbye to my brother."


When you aren’t out on Missions or other Guild assignments, how do you like to spend your day?

Horace: "Relaxing, playing music, talking to friends, training, the list goes on. And girls, of course."

Gary: "I just curl up with a nice book."


Who do you think has been the most inspirational person in your life?

Horace: "My parents. My mom was so kind and gentle, and my dad was a good person and a great fighter. And so smart too."

Gary: "My brother. He taught me everything I knew, and even made me this hat as a going-away gift."


What do you think you might be doing ten years from now?

Horace: "That all depends on what life throws at me. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll be happy doing it."

Gary: "W-well, I hope to be studying with the Scholars... but I'm worried that they might not let me in."


If you had to choose who to marry right here and now, who would it be?

Horace: "H-hey! Don't put me on the spot like that! I've met too many good ones to choose from, although there is one that comes to mind... but I'm not gonna say it!"

Gary: "D-didn't I already tell you I'm not looking for a mate?!"


What is one motto that you think you live your life by?

Horace: "'Follow your heart, whenever your brain can't see the road ahead.' It's something my dad always said."

Gary: "'There's nothing you can't do if you try your best.' Something I read in a book, but I can't remember which one."
Hey! Got this done, finally. Haven't been feeling well today, so didn't have time to work on the Scholars mission, but I finished this so I could upload it.

Yeah, I'll be expanding on some of the stuff in here eventually, with some backstory and character bios on family members and such, though all of those will be written.

Tell me if something doesn't come out right, specifically the dots and the link to the blank meme, because the text function is being weird and I don't know if that'll affect anything.

EDIT: Fixed the link, and a grammar mistake. Bullets don't seem to be working for whatever reason, so I just replaced them all with the name of the speaker.

This was a fun, informative read. :) Now I'm curious about some of the responses in this interview (like Horace's hesitance about whether he's come close to killing anyone).

Edit: Editing suggestions have been removed from here since you fixed them
