Character Quiz

• A relatively simple one : Griffin finds himself at a performance and discovers that he cannot remember the words to the song he is to sing; his fingers fumble across the strings of the mandolin, causing discordant notes; his audience looks shocked, then bored, then upset, then angry. Griffin finds himself sitting all alone, with no audience... wanting so much to play and sing, and not being able to -- and no longer having an audience anyways. He doesn't have it every other night, but in difficult times or whatnot, that dream is most likely to be had.

• Well, if they don't like performance artists, they may have a problem. Musicians need to practice, of course. People may be bothered, once they get to know him, that Griffin is a master at playing different roles. He flip-flops between sincerity and deceit when needed. He's a good man in all, but probably is a bit too flippant at times. Griffin can brood at times, especially when thinking about times past. Similar events in the present can prompt that.

• I don't think the idea of Amberites being so much greater than others will really impact on Griffin even when he learns of it; if some Shadow person was to do something to piss him off, or to do something that warranted a killing, they'd get it. Same for anyone else. Now, it takes quite a bit for Griffin to kill nowadays -- this wasn't always the case. I suppose if a horrible enough event were to happen, he could snap.

• Wow. Electrical instruments would rock Griffin's world, as well as the ideas of celebrity and becoming a hyper-super rock star, or just a celebrity in general. I think he'd adapt to technology pretty handily. As for attitudes of a modern society, he'd probably find them to be rather fickle as compared to those he entertains now. I mean, when you barely eke out a living and only live to be 35, hering some guy in black sing a song makes your week.

• While his magical cloak comes in awfully handy, the most prized possession is a knife that Claire had possessed. (see backstories) Griffin actually used said knife to kill the man that killed Claire. He doesn't use it anymore, but carries it in his cloak; he would be loathe to lose it. It's the only physical reminder of her that he has.

• Are you kidding? This guy's a bard. And the best thing is that he could show them all in under 30 seconds. Normally, he's a good natured fellow, a smile usually on his face.

• I don't know how much it comes across, but I try to sound like Sam Waterston. Only appropriate. =) (Actually, it's been hard, so far, to not play this character very close to how I saw playing Justin... but I'm sure after some time I'll find the voice I want.)

• The one time that he desired it, he got it within 5 minutes (killing the man who killed his beloved Claire.) I'd expect for as easy-going as Griffin is, if motivated by a heinous-enough crime against him or someone he loved, he's be as ruthless as the elders are in the books. It might take a bit to get to that point (where he'd just want to outright kill someone at all costs.) I'd think Griffin would be creative in gaining his vengeance.

• Being a bard, he's had no permanent bedroom since he left home in his teens. All he needs to get along in life fits in the the pockets of his cloak, and he plays for his room and board.

• He prefers to walk from town to town, but if needed, he'd probably prefer something along the lines of Old Faithful rather than Young and Speedy. What are those white/spotted breeds? Appaloosas? (sp) An older girl who he'd treat kindly. I don't think Griffin's one to ride a mount into the ground and then just find another one (once he finds one to use all the time, if that ever happens.)
