Are you a vegetarian? Why not?
What is your favorite animal?
Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly (assuming you can't already do one or the other)?

Favorite fashion designer?

[Bradley Reeves]

Are you a vegetarian? Why not?
No, but only because there are so many delightful dishes to cook/eat that contain meat.

What is your favorite animal?
The peacock. Elegant, graceful, classy, and not the type to roll around in the mud.

Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly (assuming you can't already do one or the other)?
Flying. It's easier to fix windswept hair and clothes than a tangled wet mess.

If you had to change your nail color permanently, what color would you change it to?
I'd probably leave it natural. (Although drawing attention to my fingers while playing piano would be interesting.)

Favorite fashion designer?
Giovanni and Giacomo Canali

4) Get up, morning work out, eat, shower, brush me teeth and then go about me business.

1. If you had to choose between freeing a guilty man, or imprisoning an innocent one, what would you choose?
2. Is it hypocritical to be for gun control, but against the regulation and registration of metahuman abilities?
3. Is it hypocritical to have an issue with hunting, but to eat the meat from slaughtered farm animals?
4. If you had to choose to between being deaf, blind, mute or without the ability to walk, which would you choose?
5. Have you ever been in a situation where necessity and desperation forced you to do something that you regret?

[Dr. Sean Neville]

1. If you had to choose between freeing a guilty man, or imprisoning an innocent one, what would you choose?

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is always better to free a guilty person than to allow an innocent person to be imprisoned. Liberty and justice can't stand when the innocent are punished.

2. Is it hypocritical to be for gun control, but against the regulation and registration of metahuman abilities?

No, it isn't hypocritical. Being meta human is an inborn trait that a meta person cannot choose whether to have. Owning a gun is a choice and is a deliberate choice to own and operate something that is primarily a weapon rather than a tool. Most aspects of gun control come in the form of limiting what type of guns are allowed and where, as well as requiring registration in case a weapon is stolen so that they can be tracked. Most meta abilities have no destructive applications. And even if they did, the intersection of loss of civil liberties that comes from registering a person as opposed to a weapon isn't worth the nominal boost in safety. The mere idea of comparing a person to a weapon is a horrifying thought that underscores the hatred and fear meta humans face every day of our lives. Additionally, meta humans do have to learn how to control our powers, and if we have to do that, the very least gun owners should have to do is learn how to handle their weapons safely, use them safely, and keep them safely.

3. Is it hypocritical to have an issue with hunting, but to eat the meat from slaughtered farm animals?

While I'm sure that vegetarians and vegans would disagree with me, I think it depends on the type of hunting. I would say it is hypocritical to object to hunting for food when one eats meat from farm animals. I don't find it hypocritical to object to hunting for sport since the animal is killed for fun and not for food. I also don't find it hypocritical to object to certain methods of hunting but I also desire cruelty-free animal farming.

4. If you had to choose to between being deaf, blind, mute or without the ability to walk, which would you choose?

I'm quite fortunate enough to be able-bodied and possessed of no disabilities. If I had to make this decision, I believe I would choose to be mute. With the telepathy, it would be the disability that would least affect my life on a day-to-day basis, although it would affect my life.

5. Have you ever been in a situation where necessity and desperation forced you to do something that you regret?

Yes. I won't elaborate, but necessity is what it is.

1. Would you rather be liked, or be right?
2. If you had ten million dollars, what would you do with it?
3. Do you consider yourself content with life?
4. What is your favorite book and why?
5. Who is your personal hero, and why is that person a hero to you?

[Therru Simmons]

[/justify] Would you rather be liked, or be right?

Personally, I would rather be right. If something is truly important then being liked doesn't matter to me as long as the right thing is done. Be liked is worth nothing if you harbor guilt because of it.


If you had ten million dollars, what would you do with it?


I would most likely give half of it to the institute. With the other half I would go home and continue living the way my father did, and his father before him and so on. I particularly like my time in the mountains having to worry about nothing more than trapping, hunting and taking care of the farm.


Do you consider yourself content with life?

I would say so, yes. I am learning and to a degree am involved with the people here. There isn't really anything to make me unhappy.



What is your favorite book and why? My favorite book? Well, The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry. That would have to be my favorite. I picked it up in a used book store during my first year at Hammel. There is so much wonderful poetry in there and I could spend all day reading it over and over again.




Who is your personal hero, and why is that person a hero to you?

My personal hero...... my Father really. He was a strong person, even though having me meant losing my mother. He didn't let that bring him down. I think that's something worth being a hero for.[/justify][/blockquote]

1. What is your favorite Genre of Music?
2. Who is your favorite artist?
3. If you lived alone would you be happy?
4. City or Country and why?
5. You have one phone call before you die. Who is it too and why?

[Avinea Jale]

1. What is your favorite Genre of Music?

I actually like alternative music more then the regular pop and such.

2. Who is your favorite artist?

Georgia O'Keefe. The lady painted tons and tons of flowers. They ar gorgeous!

3. If you lived alone would you be happy?

Yea I think I would, I don't see why I wouldn't...

4. City or Country and why?

City! There is just so much more to do!

5. You have one phone call before you die. Who is it too and why?

Most likely to my family. Tell them I love them.


1.Who is your favorite person?
2. Dog or cat?
3. Team Edward or Team Jacob?
4.Winter or Summer?
5. If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

[Dr. Sean Neville]

1.Who is your favorite person?

This is far too easy. My favorite person is my partner, Joshua Bernstein.

2. Dog or cat?

Neither. I don't own pets, and I have no desire to own pets. When I was a boy, my family had a dog. And cats are more self-sufficient and quiet. But I don't want to own either. Josh has a rabbit, and that is more than enough.

3. Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Those are from the Twilight series, I believe? This is another category where I have to say "neither." I remember the abusive behavior from Edward, and I don't think Jacob was appreciatively better, although I can't say for sure. I never cared for gothic horror stories, either. Give me Vonnegut or T.H. White.

4.Winter or Summer?

I prefer summer. Living in Vermont, we have to take as much sunlight and warm weather as we can get, since winter is so long. Nobody has to contend with Seasonal Affective Disorder in the summer, and I get to take my boat out on the lake to sail. As well, I don't have to worry about snow tires and patches of ice.

5. If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

There are so many answers to that question. I recently went to Europe with Josh and our friend, Greg, and it was a lovely trip. I think some of my wanderlust is out of my system as a result of that vacation. Perhaps Belize or Australia on my next vacation. Those would be interesting destinations, and I've never been to either.

1. Do you like children?
2. Planes, trains, or automobiles?
3. Rather than a favorite color, is there a particular color that you dislike?
4. What is the riskiest activity you've ever engaged in?
5. Why is your favorite song your favorite?

[Patricia Reed]

1. Do you like children?
I do. They’re rather fun. And speak their mind more often than adults too because they’ve yet to grasp what is considered… Social norms I suppose.
2. Planes, trains, or automobiles?
Trains. I feel like there’s something… very classic about them. But I do like an old VW bug.
3. Rather than a favorite color, is there a particular color that you dislike?
White. It’s not even a real color. It a lack of color. Literally. I took an art class once and that’s the only thing I remember. But I prefer having actual colors. In my home I like more subdued tones, because plant life takes care of the brighter, more vibrant colors.
4. What is the riskiest activity you've ever engaged in?
They riskiest thing. I don’t believe I’ve done anything particularly risky. Though, I suppose breaking off my engagement and giving a baby up for adoption qualifies under that.
5. Why is your favorite song your favorite?
Hallelujah by John Cale. It’s relatively… Newer considering my age. And I was a fan of original by Leonard Cohen. But Cale’s… There’s just something devastatingly sad about it. But somehow serene at the same time. I’m not quite sure how to explain it. But it’s absolutely beautiful and never fails to make me feel how I did when I first heard it many years ago.


1.What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
2. Would you rather be a worried genius or joyful simpleton?
3. Would you rather lose all of your old memories? Or never be able to make new ones?
4. If alone in an elevator, do you push the button to close the doors? And did you know that there’s a trick to not stopping at other floors when the lift is called for?
5. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

[Vincent Meian]

1.What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

Everyone at some point in their life considers their place in the universe and the meaning of reality. I have a different view of such things because of my power, and I would trade nearly anything to never contemplate such things again.

2. Would you rather be a worried genius or joyful simpleton?

It is easy to be happy when you know nothing of troubles, but when trouble comes to you where do you stand? I would rather not know happiness than be ignorant, as my knowledge has the possibility of one day saving my children.

3. Would you rather lose all of your old memories? Or never be able to make new ones?

Despite the shame and fear I hold for my past, I cannot escape it. It makes me who I am, and to forget those lessons would be even more shameful than the knowledge of what I have done in the name of self-preservation. As much as it pains me to say, I would rather never retain another memory of my future than to forget my past.

4. If alone in an elevator, do you push the button to close the doors? And did you know that there’s a trick to not stopping at other floors when the lift is called for?

No - I would not be so rude in either case.

5. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I have two answers for this; one philosophical and one literal.

To be literal, I will say no. There are billions of words in hundreds of languages, and I know three of these. I can never do as much as I say, unless I have one action for every word I speak. Such a thing is an impossibility save for the most taciturn or the mute.

To be philosophical, the understanding of to say is finite; the words and meanings of language can only have so many interpretations. The understanding of to do is infinite; there are some things we as human beings do that defy all logic and explanation, where no words can accurately describe the true intent and meaning of the way we live and feel. In this way, "to do" is infinitely more valuable and expressive than "to say"

So, in this way, I believe that when all comes to pass, my actions shall outweigh my words. For better, or for worse.

5. What's something people would be surprised to find on your iPod? I don't have an iPod, but the music people would be most surprised to find includes Art Garfunkel's rendition of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful." Not because of the artist, but because of the subject of the song.
