TIME TO WRITE A BUNCH OF SHIT
Part 1: The Basics
What is your full name? Ayem Enda.
Where and when were you born? June 25th, 2052, in some hospital in Seattle somewhere.
Who are your parents? I mean, they're basically unimportant. They put me up in the hospital until I was better and then just kind of stopped caring. You undergo one massive suite of cosmetic surgeries and suddenly you're "not our daughter anymore".
Do you have any siblings? Only child. Probably because my parents couldn't handle another one of me.
Where do you live now, and with whom? Oh, christ. I live alone right now, but I'm probably gonna end up squatting with these other runners if I can't make rent.
What is your occupation? Best damn tailchaser in Seattle.
Write a full physical description of yourself. I'm fuckin' five foot two and green. You've probably seen me.
To which social class do you belong? I'd consider squatting with Tony and Case an improvement. You tell me.
Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Allergies and diseases? Not since the kidneys. Physical weaknesses? I am perhaps too great and awesome.
Are you right- or left-handed? Both.
What does your voice sound like? Manna from goddamn heaven.
What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? I swear like a sailor with a swearing problem.
What do you have in your pockets? String, or nothing. I'm just kidding with that nerd shit. Right now just my gloves.
Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Lizard. Jazz hands.
Part 2: Growing Up
How would you describe your childhood in general? I mean it was a fuckin' childhood, I guess. My parents had enough money to send me to school without any serious problems. I survived. Didn't hit the jackpot on shit roulette until I was like 16.
What is your earliest memory? I feel like I punched another kid in the face accidentally. Still not sure if that really happened.
How much schooling have you had? Finished freshman year of high school, did the rest kind of on my own whenever I wasn't too doped up to do anything.
Did you enjoy school? I liked the art classes, but good luck finding a school that keeps that shit in its budget past fifth grade.
Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? I had teachers help me with art and some coaching with guns and crossbows, but everything else was self-taught, one way or another.
While growing up, did you have any role models? Ms. Byrne was my art teacher in elementary school and she's the reason I got so interested in art to begin with. She sent me cards for a while in the hospital, until they just stopped coming. I have a couple guesses why. None of them are great.
While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? Oh, shit was awesome with my parents when I was growing up, don't get me wrong. They just didn't like it so much after the surgery. Well, after my surgeries. They loved the kidney stuff.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Gonna save you some time here. I became what I wanted to be when I grew up.
As a child, what were your favorite activities? Drawing, most of the time. People-watching to get inspiration for shit to draw.
As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? Oh my god, I was a little shit. Still am, but, like, I was a different kind of shit back then. I started fights with people a few times. Most of them were trying to make fun of my friends. They deserved it. Showed their asses why you should never fuck with the weird chicks.
As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? Popular? Fuck, dude, I have never been popular. I had friends, like I literally just said, but they were all the other weird, artsy kids. Chorus kids, drama kids, a few band kids. People that people liked to forget about.
When and with whom was your first kiss? I don't remember his name. It was like right after my tits came in. Some horny ass.
Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? I don't know why this is listed under growing up. Some of us don't get to that shit until after we're grown up, thanks! Anyway, it was a dude who was super into green skin. Ran into him before I got most of my other mods done in one of the lower-key running groups I did tailchasing for. I don't remember his name either.
Describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today. What, like, in detail? Fuck that, dude. I draw because of Ms. Byrne, I don't kill because I saw too many people die in the hospital. I don't know what more you want from me.
Part 3: Past Influences
What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Turning myself into who I am today tops the list, I'm pretty sure. It was more of a series of events, but whatever.
Who has had the most influence on you? Myself, honestly. I saw what I wanted to be and I fuckin' became it, and I was the one who made that choice.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Look, do you want me to keep talking about how I turned myself into a lizard or what?
What is your greatest regret? ...There's someone I had to kill to keep myself alive. After I'd started running, I mean. I really don't like it.
What is the most evil thing you have ever done? Probably the murder. I'm not about to sugar-coat it.
Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Take a wild fuckin' guess, buddy.
When was the time you were the most frightened? Between 16 and 18 I was pretty sure I was going to die at any minute. Maybe if the machines failed. Maybe if they "failed" because my parents were late with a payment. That sure wasn't the best feeling in the world.
What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? Christ, are you really—okay. One time on, like, my first run, I had to ask a goddamn professional runner what a tailchaser was. And I almost believed him when he told me to get a tail first. That guy with the green fetish set me straight, but man that was embarrassing. Joke's on that asshole, though, right? Now who's the one making tail jokes?
If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? See, I was gonna say the fucking disease that laid me up for the end of my teenage years, but that kind of got me started along this path, so maybe it's not so bad. Maybe I'd break the news better to my parents? I don't know, man, it fucking happened already.
What is your best memory? The day Krieger finished surgery on all my mods.
What is your worst memory? The day I got the bill.
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? I was gonna say you can't sort people into two groups like that but literally everyone I know is gonna say pessimistic so whatever.
What is your greatest fear? Right, and give you fuckers more ammo? I'm not even afraid of death anymore.
What are your religious views? Audible shrug.
What are your political views? Fuck corps, fuck charging people out the ass for life-saving surgery, fuck saddling people with financial burdens they can never actually be expected to pay back, fuck holding people's lives hostage with that money. Oh, what, just because I say fuck a lot means I can't talk about the economy and shit?
What are your views on sex? Hey, you got somebody who wants to nail a lizard, I'm in.
Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? I can, but christ do I not want to. I've seen too many people die in the hospital to want to bring more death into the world. I'm pretty sure I've said that a few times by now.
In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Hey, we still never repealed that Citizens United bullshit, right? In that case, most evil thing a human can do is be a corporation.
Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Nah. Life moves too fast to tie yourself down to one person anyway.
What do you believe makes a successful life? If you dying would piss off somebody in power, I'd say you've got it made.
How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings? Depends on the person. For example, if it's me, very honest. If it's anyone else, fuck you.
Do you have any biases or prejudices? Probably. I mean, everybody does, right? Even if they don't know about it. I'm working on it.
Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? Kill someone without trying something nonviolent first. No matter how justified it'd be. Look, okay, I hate corps. I hate corps so fucking much. But a lot of the low-level guys? They're probably just trying to make ends meet. I don't need to be the person who kills little Bobby Shitdick on his first day just because he ended up on the wrong floor for guard duty or something.
Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW THERE AIN'T NO IN BETWEENS—nah, I don't know. I'd probably be okay if I died with both my middle fingers blasting a neon green sign at some bullshit high-up corp lackey. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to die for it, but I'd be okay with it.
Part 5: Relationships With Others
In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? It's a lot easier to throw my worst at people first, and if they stick around after that then I know they're tough enough to make it as my friend or some inspirational trash like that. Then I'll still be a dick to them, but the fun kind of dick instead.
Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Me. I'm the only one I can count on most of the time. Not like anybody else really bothered sticking around anyway.
Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Same answer.
Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Not really. There's my co-workers, I guess. They're not friends. Just people whose lives I'm semi-responsible for, kind of. You know, those guys.
Do you have a spouse or significant other? Are you literally kidding me right now.
Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. Once, maybe? I mean, what the fuck was I supposed to do about it if I had a crush on the kid the bed over from me? He had some terminal disease. His parents didn't have the money to keep him in there for too long. They did what they could, and then one day I woke up and he was gone. Still not sure what happened to him, but like I said earlier, I have a couple guesses.
What do you look for in a potential lover? One, into lizards. Two, good at either sex or extreme sports. That shit is basically the only high I can get anymore.
How close are you to your family? HAHAHAHAHA holy shit.
Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? I shouldn't be trusted with a pet, much less a literal baby. I mean, maybe if I ever make enough money to retire from running. I think I'll probably get better at taking care of people by then. I don't think that's ever going to happen, though.
Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Dr. Krieger, maybe. She did my surgeries. She knows all my vitals and shit, and if she wanted to, she could probably keep me hidden, or patch me up if I took something fatal and didn't actually want to die.
Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? I'm somehow the one people rely on to protect them, so no, not really. Very "who watches the watchmen"-type situation there.
If you died or went missing, who would miss you? Nobody, if I'm doing it right.
Who is the person you despise the most, and why? The fucker who decided to use me as a financial lab rat, right now.
Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? Oh my god, the harder I can argue with someone, the better. Goes back to that natural high thing.
Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Nah. People usually just point me in a direction and shoot. I'm okay with that. I know what I'm good at.
Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? Only if they're cool about my mods. I'm used to people going "what the fuck" at me, but it brings the whole mood down if people are just, like, constant dicks about it.
Do you care what others think of you? It used to be a lot worse than it is now. Now I'm just kind of like whatever, I spent my time and money turning myself into exactly what I wanted to be, what the fuck are you doing with your lives.
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? Drawing, parkour, I'm studying German right now, too. I've got a really strong German history but barely speak it. Make me the fuckin' Echsekönigin of the Enda family.
What is your most treasured possession? I love this jacket. Christ. It was a bit of a splurge, but I can make it look as gaudy and awful as possible. It's great.
What is your favorite color? TAKE A WILD FUCKIN' GUESS, BUDDY
What is your favorite food? Spicy stuff. I basically eat ghost peppers for breakfast.
What, if anything, do you like to read? Political stuff, mostly. Historical documents, sometimes, but mostly like articles and shit. I'm on a forum for 9x9 and that stuff is always interesting to read, even if they aren't on our shores at all. Oh yeah, also the occasional chemistry book, but that's way less often.
What is your idea of good entertainment? Plug my entire ass into the house music playlists and let me go jump between buildings in the city for a couple hours. Or just let me dance to the same stuff in my room until I tire myself out. God, that shit is awesome.
Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? Literally can't get any benefit from it anymore. You'd need to give me an IV of grain alcohol for me to even feel a buzz.
How do you spend a typical Saturday night? Probably running, at this rate. Sometimes I go out clubbing if I can sneak in, but that was a lot easier before I got the tail. Not because I can't fit into windows anymore or anything. The bouncers just kind of recognize that I wasn't in line.
What makes you laugh? Idiots getting hurt. Sometimes shitty puns, but there's a fine line on the shittiness scale that you have to nail for me to really appreciate it.
What, if anything, shocks or offends you? I don't know, maybe if somebody I know just thinks it's okay to kill people without exercising your other options first. Crazy random example.
What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? Ha, "if". Nice. Well, parkour is always free, even if the cops aren't a fan of it. I call it research, really. I'm not doing anything illegal anyway.
How do you deal with stress? I dance, I run, I fuck, whatever. Something to get it out of my system.
Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? 95% of the time I'm working with 0% of a plan.
What are your pet peeves? Hey, you know what, I went through a lot to become what I am today. If you know the name I used to go by, you better eradicate it from your goddamn memory.
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? You're gonna have to define "normal" and "routine" for me first. I just basically do what I want, when I want. I'm used to having to survive if I need to.
What is your greatest strength as a person? I like to think I'm way smarter than people give me credit for.
What is your greatest weakness? Too great and awesome. Try to keep up.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Buddy, I've had the chance to change so much about myself. If I missed anything, I'd know about it.
Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Extroverted to the point of being a huge asshole about it.
Are you generally organized or messy? Let the chips fall where they may. Literally, because I'm eating chips and the crumbs are getting everywhere.
Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. I'm a fast thinker, a faster runner, and I'm a pretty good medic on top of everything else. I'm probably not what you'd call a people person, though. I stick out like a sore, lizard-like thumb at any social thing. And I guess I could watch my mouth a little more, but who the fuck really cares about that?
Do you like yourself? You don't spend 60k on literal life-changing surgeries and come out hating yourself.
What are your reasons for being a runner? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? I tell most people it's for the thrill of it, which isn't wrong. I mean, shit, have you ever been shot at before? My metaphorical dick's never been harder. But I think the runners I'm with now all kind of know the real reason. We're all in enough debt to fund a country. Like, each.
What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Well, I'd like to not be financially crushed under the thumb of a corporation, but we call that a stretch goal.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Dead, if I'm doing it right.
If you could choose, how would you want to die? Bullet to the head. Maybe execution style, maybe from a sniper. Just make it quick. I don't want to bleed out or anything.
If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. Call up my "bosses" and flip them off, and then the same thing twice more.
What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? Dat ass.
What three words best describe your personality? Abrasive, hilarious, asshole.
What three words would others probably use to describe you? Great, awesome, fantastic.
If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? Talk less. Like, not even the Hamilton reference, just talk less. Think about what you're doing for like ten seconds. Five seconds if you need to think fast.
What is your full name? Ayem Enda.
Where and when were you born? June 25th, 2052, in some hospital in Seattle somewhere.
Who are your parents? I mean, they're basically unimportant. They put me up in the hospital until I was better and then just kind of stopped caring. You undergo one massive suite of cosmetic surgeries and suddenly you're "not our daughter anymore".
Do you have any siblings? Only child. Probably because my parents couldn't handle another one of me.
Where do you live now, and with whom? Oh, christ. I live alone right now, but I'm probably gonna end up squatting with these other runners if I can't make rent.
What is your occupation? Best damn tailchaser in Seattle.
Write a full physical description of yourself. I'm fuckin' five foot two and green. You've probably seen me.
To which social class do you belong? I'd consider squatting with Tony and Case an improvement. You tell me.
Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Allergies and diseases? Not since the kidneys. Physical weaknesses? I am perhaps too great and awesome.
Are you right- or left-handed? Both.
What does your voice sound like? Manna from goddamn heaven.
What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? I swear like a sailor with a swearing problem.
What do you have in your pockets? String, or nothing. I'm just kidding with that nerd shit. Right now just my gloves.
Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Lizard. Jazz hands.

How do you spend a typical Saturday night? Probably running, at this rate. Sometimes I go out clubbing if I can sneak in, but that was a lot easier before I got the tail. Not because I can't fit into windows anymore or anything. The bouncers just kind of recognize that I wasn't in line.
What makes you laugh? Idiots getting hurt. Sometimes shitty puns, but there's a fine line on the shittiness scale that you have to nail for me to really appreciate it.
What, if anything, shocks or offends you? I don't know, maybe if somebody I know just thinks it's okay to kill people without exercising your other options first. Crazy random example.
What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? Ha, "if". Nice. Well, parkour is always free, even if the cops aren't a fan of it. I call it research, really. I'm not doing anything illegal anyway.
How do you deal with stress? I dance, I run, I fuck, whatever. Something to get it out of my system.
Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? 95% of the time I'm working with 0% of a plan.
What are your pet peeves? Hey, you know what, I went through a lot to become what I am today. If you know the name I used to go by, you better eradicate it from your goddamn memory.
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? You're gonna have to define "normal" and "routine" for me first. I just basically do what I want, when I want. I'm used to having to survive if I need to.
What is your greatest strength as a person? I like to think I'm way smarter than people give me credit for.
What is your greatest weakness? Too great and awesome. Try to keep up.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Buddy, I've had the chance to change so much about myself. If I missed anything, I'd know about it.
Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Extroverted to the point of being a huge asshole about it.
Are you generally organized or messy? Let the chips fall where they may. Literally, because I'm eating chips and the crumbs are getting everywhere.
Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. I'm a fast thinker, a faster runner, and I'm a pretty good medic on top of everything else. I'm probably not what you'd call a people person, though. I stick out like a sore, lizard-like thumb at any social thing. And I guess I could watch my mouth a little more, but who the fuck really cares about that?
Do you like yourself? You don't spend 60k on literal life-changing surgeries and come out hating yourself.
What are your reasons for being a runner? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? I tell most people it's for the thrill of it, which isn't wrong. I mean, shit, have you ever been shot at before? My metaphorical dick's never been harder. But I think the runners I'm with now all kind of know the real reason. We're all in enough debt to fund a country. Like, each.
What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Well, I'd like to not be financially crushed under the thumb of a corporation, but we call that a stretch goal.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Dead, if I'm doing it right.
If you could choose, how would you want to die? Bullet to the head. Maybe execution style, maybe from a sniper. Just make it quick. I don't want to bleed out or anything.
If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. Call up my "bosses" and flip them off, and then the same thing twice more.
What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? Dat ass.
What three words best describe your personality? Abrasive, hilarious, asshole.
What three words would others probably use to describe you? Great, awesome, fantastic.
If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? Talk less. Like, not even the Hamilton reference, just talk less. Think about what you're doing for like ten seconds. Five seconds if you need to think fast.
