Background:
Minos is an alchemist first seen in the lost city of Drakenloft, in the north.(In the RP, it's in the upper part of the country.). Where he originally was from is unknown. He lived there for several years, until it started to become dangerous, due to the mayor being an idiot and challenging liches. He left only days before the city's destruction, only because he felt the town was going down, anyway. Even without knowing what'd happen. He went from area to area over the next 100+ years, simply doing his job, and starting a family during this time. The only reason he lives so long is because he invented a potion that can de-age a person several years, in 5 year increments. Any time he started getting too old, he drank one. He eventually settled in one town, and remains there.

No.

C. Your character is given the power to kill people simply by thinking of their deaths and twice repeating the word "good-bye." People would die a natural death and no one would suspect them. Are there any situations in which they would use this power? [If they can imagine themselves killing someone indirectly, could they still see doing it if they had to look into the person's eyes and stab the person to death?

An evening where Helen is acting normal, where he can read all night, and maybe do.. other things.. later.

E. Would your character rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable yet unexciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life? [Since so many people place great emphasis on a happy private life, why do people often wind up putting more energy into their professional lives? If you feel that their private life is more important to your character, do their priorities support this? Are they simply unwilling to admit that work is more important? Do they use work as a substitute? Do they hope professional success will somehow magically lead to personal happiness?]
He likes his family more than work. But he likes that, too. >>;. *is too lazy to answer the rest*

To stop Orion from throwing things at him by accident. >>;.

[In love, is intensity or permanence more important to them? How much do they expect from someone who loves them? What would make them feel betrayed by their mate - indifference? Dishonesty? Infidelity?
He already is married. . So, he doesn't need to meet anyone.

H. Does your character prefer being around men or women? Do their closest friends tend to be men or women?
Indifferent. He talks to each gender about equally.

I. Would your character be willing to murder an innocent person if it would end hunger in the world? [Would it torment them more to have the blood of an innocent person on their hands or to know they let millions of people die? What do they think of people who achieve great things by compromising their principles?

No.

O. If your character could choose the manner of their death, what would it be? [Would they die a hero's death, die a martyr to some great cause, die in a natural catastrophe, or die peacefully? Why is it so tempting to have death catch us in our sleep?]
