'kay, I'm getting a bit tired of all the seemingly-identical quiz threads in the CB. Here's something that goes along the same idea, but will hopefully be more fun: Filling out a character profile instead. And if the questions go into enough detail to really be a good gold-earning quiz, you might find yourself considering new facts about the character that never occurred to you before.
Fill this out for one particular character--ideally your own character, but I suppose you can do it for a character from something else, or even yourself or another real person, if you'd like. Of course, you can do it multiple times with different characters, if you'd like.
The format is a bit different than the normal list of question, but answer it one fact per post, like always. I did make a point of trying to stretch out the list as much as possible, for maximum gold-getting. Because of that, some might be excessively nitpicky and not applicable; sorry if it's bothersome. If something doesn't apply, or you're not sure, just say so.
The List
EDIT: I listed fears and goals/dreams twice, so I changed the second one to likes and dislikes. I also merged the question about labels into the one about subcultures, and added questions about childhood family, nostalgia, and rainy days.
EDIT2 5/10/09: Added a few questions about trust, life outlook, past relationships and influences, and lots of bonus questions. Later, I might change some of the bonus questions into a section of what-ifs, and give dreams, goals, and future plans its own more detailed section.
