Basics
"Where do I sit? Here? Thanks, mate. Wait, what is that thing? It looks like a freaking canon. Why is there glass at the end?
A camera? What for?
Oh, this one takes multiple images to make it look like I move. Because that makes it all clear. Y'know what? Forget I asked."
What is your full name? Do you have a nickname (if so, who calls you this)?
"Garret Alastair Carter. That middle part is my middle name. Yeah, I know. Basically, my father's name, I don't know if you have those now. Middle names, not… fathers. I'd like to think you still have fathers... Oh God-freaking-dammnit, I'm starting again. Oh, you still do? Way to go, future generations!
No nicknames. At least not ones I want anyone to call me."
Where and when were you born?
"April 14th, 1814 in Linton. A little town you wouldn't know."
Who are/were your parents? (Their names, birthplaces, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"If you remember me being an idiot two seconds ago, my father is Alastair James Carter. Old colonel, born and raised in London by an old colonel. He's nice enough, just a bit obsessed with bringing honor to the family name.
My mother… Aileen Steward. Woodworker. She made some incredible little animals with her hands. I had a shelf full of them."
Do you have any siblings? If you do, what are/were they like?
"Nope. Just little old me. And in my mother's words: Thank the fucking gods for that. I already have trouble taking care of two little boys who can't seem to stay in place, I couldn't handle three.
Yeah, she liked her phrases."
Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place (home and location) and the person/people you live with.
"I don't really live anywhere, even though Anna, very discreetly—and by that I mean telling me twice a day every day for a month—made me understand that I could live in Arendelle. I still don't know."
What is your occupation?
"I was a soldier for a bit. Now, I'm… I'm not sure what I am, honestly."
To which social class do you belong?
"The one that breathes? God-freaking-dammit, I'm not sure which. My pockets say the very base of the pyramid. So, that."
Are you right- or left-handed?
"Left for the bow. Right for everything else."
What does your voice sound like?
"Like this.
Aww don't look at me like that, you started it."
On what occasions do you lie?
"I'm lying right now."
Do you have a motto? If so, what is it?
"People have those?"
Do you have any annoying habits, quirks, strange mannerisms, or other defining characteristics?
"I'm told I say God-freaking-dammit a bit too much. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal, God-freaking-dammit."
What is your hair color and eye color?
"Red hair, green eyes. Also, sorry you're colour-blind. Is there a cure in this time?"
What kind of distinguishing facial features do you have?
"Nothing. Which is already good. I've seen some scars I wouldn't want to have. And I take the colour back. I don't think your eyes are working at all."
Do you have any physical traits that stand out (such as scars, birthmarks, tattoos, etc.)? If you have scars, how did you get them? If you have tattoos, why did you get them and what meaning do they have to you?
"Well, you saw my leg with that Exrey machine of yours. Strange name. But yeah, it's made of ice, if you couldn't tell. I'd rather not talk about it much, thank you."
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
"Again, two seconds ago. Most of those are my mother's."
Past
How would you describe your childhood?
"Tiring. My powers emerged at a young age. Must have been four or five. Learned to use them to fight with my Pa'. Learned everything I needed to become a good soldier."
How much schooling have you had?
"The basics. I know how to read, count and write. That may look mundane to you but that puts me above a lot of people home, unfortunately. I was taught the history of England, basic strategy and math. Not particularly good at any of those, but not bad either."
Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"My parents mostly. Pa' for military stuff and how to be a man, Ma' for everything that wasn't military and how to be a good man."
How did you get along with the other members of your family?
"All right."
What did you want to be when you grew up?
"Um. Hard question. I never really asked myself that, actually. I was always going to be a soldier."
What were your favorite activities?
"I like archery, and sculpture when I was good at it."
Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Didn't have a lot of those. There was Benjie and the Crook back in Linton, but I lost their tracks when I joined. Otherwise, I thought I had friends in the ranks, but I quickly realized they weren't really my friends. They were my friends. As in they only wanted to be seen with me to climb the ladder.
Now however… Her Majesty, Anna, Kristoff, even that reindeer… I would call those friends. Yes, I said reindeer. Don't get me started."
When did you have your first kiss, and who with?
"A few weeks after I was assigned to my first regiment. Can't remember the girl. It was awful anyway."
Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"That is none of your business. With all due respect."
Describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.

What is the evilest thing you have ever done so far?
"I don't think I want to say it out loud."
Do you have a criminal record?
"No. Do you ask that to everyone who comes here? Did anyone ever say Yes?"
If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I wouldn't change it now. Because I can't guess what would happen instead.
Ask me that two weeks ago, I would have said something completely different."

I think everybody does. Isn't that the point?"
