It is assumed that the questions being asked are
before Silence died and entered the forest.
Sorry about the spam. :]
Just doing some character development.

1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
(Lucifer) Sebastion Scott. Call me Silence~

2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
35. September 6th.

3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
I was born in the French countryside near the Italian border. Currently I reside in Vienna.
This soul has moved so frequently that he has no patriotism in any country's favor.

4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My father was a successful architect, exuberant in showing his success but held extremely high standards. My mother was a humble maid, who
worked in my father's home before retiring when they married. I remember very little of them, truly.

5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
An older brother. He too...held... quite high.. expectations. /His voice trails off at the end.\

6. What is your occupation?
I create illusion and wonders through forethought and reasoning.

7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
I'm relatively average in my height, I suppose on the tall, more slender side. Unfortunately my last visit to a physician was quite awhile ago, so I can
provide little more than that.

8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
Black. My eyes are naturally orange in color, though I use a particular dye to make them appear brown.

9. What is your race?
A mixture of Italian and French blood.

10. To which social class do you belong?
I've traveled along that scale so many times I cannot remember where I reside now.

11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
Haha! I have yet to calculate just what Esperanza finds in me!

12. What is your style of dress?
Tuxedos, suits, dress shirts and pants, etc.

13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
So many scars that I am astonished my skin hasn't been torn from me yet. And I consider my rather...unnatural eyes to be under the subject of 'unique'.

14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
When I last visited a physician, he insisted that my mind was rather...off...in its tolerance of pain. He tried to explain that I should be a bit more careful in my endeavors, as my body wouldn't be able to communicate that it was being damaged. Something about mutated pain receptors and other nonsense.
I laughed.

15. Are you right- or left-handed?
Right handed.

16. What does your voice sound like?
I have been told it is was on the deep side.

17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
Words that indicate at least a minimal amount of education.

18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
~I will most always favor my right hand, as my left hand is...damaged.
~If you have a task that needs to be done, do so. I do not tolerate laziness or excuses.
~I do not always speak the truth. I lace my language with subtle riddles.

19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
Often as need be. Perfumes? I am not a lady. But I do love the scent of vanilla...

20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
It has been said that I hold a bit of a wry smirk, as if up to something.
It surely indicates how I spend most of my time, haha.

21. Do you use body language? How?
It is subtle, but I do. Self control teaches me to be careful not to let the trick be revealed before it is completely performed.

22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
Darling~

CHILDHOOD

Getting lost in my home's garden...

....Taji... taught me quite a few things.

26. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Chaotic.

Curious little leech, are we now?

38. Have you ever traveled outside of your country? If so, to where?

Gambling, but a delicious sin that I enjoy too much. Lying, as any human does, I also partake in. It is my job to do so, after all.

But murder.

If everyone did what was required of them, well... hmm...
