The first ten people who reply to this journal get put up here, along with three of my favorite deviations by them.
The catch is: You have to put this in your journal as well, so no cheating.
You must have more than a dozen deviations {including scraps} that I can pick my 3 from.

Before today's tag, a little explanation about the last one:
Noticed the shitty anime drawing featured under "Favorite place"? Well, the search term i entered was "Pantera's arms", which describes my favored place to be. This was the only result. I have no idea why. XD

And now - Through the Mouth of Fiction!

=============================================

Chars:
1} Atlas Athakus [link]
2} Chanting Mystery [link] {both chosen by Ruthia}
3} Noulminur Issareil [link] & [link] {chosen by Kulideb}
4} Thok the Random
4.5} Flwee-Glooey [link] bottom right
5} Zincaller {both chosen by Genny-Raskin}

NOTE: Stuff in quotemarks are the char's words. Stuff in brackets are my own comments.

How old are you?
Atlas: "I do not count my years. I am a knight. Not a chronicler."
- {human equivalent: early forties}
CM: "Quite old indeed! Thank Corellon, my kind is blest with youth that is perpetual..."
- {A lie. Human equivalent: mid twenties}
Noulminur: "Fifty one year."
- {Human equivalent: about 30}
Thok: "Interesting you should ask. Just the other night, as i was sleeping while making some research, i was approached by a certain entity who asked for my age. I give it to her, in exhcange for future favors and cooperation. So it would appear i am ageless now. A most profitable turn of events, don't you think?"
- {Human equivalent: 37-38, but it's true he can't age anymore.}
* FG: "(v2)/0"
Zincaller: "My age would mean nothing to you."
- {Human equivalent: young adult. Mixan life cycle makes it pretty impossible to really make an analogy}

What's your height?
Atlas: "Enough to tower over my foes."
- {7' 4''}
CM: "Only when i reach it, will i know my height..."
- {5' 5''}
Noulminur: "Why are you asking?"
- {6'}
Thok: "As with any other sentient being, it is a dozen over half my intelligence."
- {6' 10''}
Zincaller: "Short."
- {around 5', depending on mood}

Do you have any bad habits?
Atlas: "None."
CM: "I fall in love with too much ease..."
- {Arguable. But surely being a COMPULSIVE LIER is a worse habit even then?}
Noulminur: "Hrmmm... I tend to draw things out. Striving to do things flawlessly, i often lose valuable time."
Thok: "Oh, i am afraid i have many! For instance, i often breath through my knuckles, which is quite unaesthetic and even unhealthy."
- {He also confuses the living hell out of people.}
Zincaller: "Yess... but i go to great lengths to rid myself of them."

Are you a virgin?
Atlas: "I have been married for years, dimwit!"
CM: "Though few believe it, my melodies and words alone have penetrated... hearts. And though affairs i had in every corner of the Realms, they never lasted long enough for bodies to unite in any dance where feet do not support us."
- {Bullshit. Chan sleeps around like a Free Sample jigolo.}
Noulminur: "Hah! No. The Sewrneoughmix do not preach chastity, or any such imbecidiocy."
Thok: "Not as such, no... but i'm sure i could resume virginity, if it were required for something."
Zincaller: *wild, cacophonous laughter*

Who's your mate/spouse?
Atlas: "I will not speak her name until i find her, slaughter her captors, destroy their masters, and bring down their domains!"
CM: "A child, whose eyes still glow with--"
- {Oh shut up already! He's never been with anyone for longer than a month or two.}
Noulminur: "Her name is Ihrey. Ahh, how i miss the mischievous little angel! I could go on for hours about her, but i would rather not discomfort you."
Thok: "I prefer to just call her "Darling". Her name is quite difficult to pronounce, you see, and she is greatly irritated when it is shortened or simplified."
Zincaller: "I have none... as yet."

Do you have any kids?
Atlas: "I will."
CM: "Only the ones, whom other fathers sired, yet who have heard me and now live anew."
- {He doesn't know. Nor do i. Probably, though.}
Noulminur: "None yet, but we shall have many, once we both have the time to grow our family."
Thok: "One adopted, now grown, and two i sired myself."
Zincaller: "Some... they are in safe locations, i trust."

What's your favorite food?
Atlas: "The broth Kulideb serves."
CM: "Many desserts do battle for this title..."
- {Roasted bear meat. In sourberry sauce. Stop pretending to be gayer than you are.}
Noulminur: "There isn't a single favorite. I enjoy many things, from gnomish Honeycrust Merengue to the rhinoceros smoke-roast giants make."
Thok: "How can you pick just one? Variety is the spice of life, and that of food as well. Granted, one could say SPICE is the spice of food, but truly, variety is even the spice of SPICE!" *pause* ""What? Nonsence, i was perfectly clear."
Zincaller: "Small birds... freshly caught."

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Atlas: "What?!"
CM: "I find its natural, unflavored taste the best..."
- {Lol, safe answer. This is actually the first time Chanting even heard the word "icecream".}
Noulminur: "Ice...cream? You'll have to enlighten me on the subject."
Thok: "Gold With Emeralds. A Copper dragon has developed this taste, so that lesser beings could enjoy the taste of delicacies they cannot naturally digest, and also as a jab at Gold dragons and Emerald dragons everywhere."
Zincaller: "Cherry."
- {Why am i suddenly so disturbed by this seemingly simple answer?}

Have you killed anyone?
Atlas: "I felled many foes."
CM: "Some of the battles i still sing about, had me defending life and truth alongside heroes, yet never have i singlehandedly took lives..."
- {Except for all the assassinations, right?}
Noulminur: "Only when i had no better choice. Unfortunately, that condition has been met MANY times over the years."
Thok: "Probably many more than i know of, i am afraid." *guilty half-smile*
Zincaller: "Oh no... i couldn't harm a fly..." *splat* "...your window needs cleaning."

Do you hate anyone?
Atlas: "All that is evil, cowardly, slippery."
CM: "Hate poisons and obscures the truth. I left it long ago behind..."
- {Moar lies}
Noulminur: "I hate those who have the wisdom to choose good, yet choose evil instead. Oh, and fiends, too."
Thok: "Any one what?"
Zincaller: "Some... yes... but never without reason."

Have any secrets?
Atlas: "None!"
- {amazingly true}
CM: "Ahh, many..."
- {true. Which is amazing for a completely different reason.}
Noulminur: "None from my god, my bride and my patron. Plenty from most others."
Thok: "Oh yes! Many, many secrets! And they are most exciting, too. Would you like me to tell you some? You may want to hold your ears shut, though: some of them are not safe to hear."
Zincaller: "Of course... an eagle has its claws and beak... a rabbit has its speed and hidden burrow... and i have my secrets."

Do you love anyone?
Atlas: "Yes."
- {His wife, obviously. But also his god, angel, superiors and even his comrades - just don't expect him to say it out loud.}
CM: "I love all those whom love evades, all those who are deserving of more love than lies within their reach..."
- {A halftruth at best.}
Noulminur: "All those who contain the spark of-- no, wait, that's just scripture. I love many, in many different ways, even when i fail to properly show it."
Thok: "Of course! Love is so brilliantly colorful, how can any being capable of perceiving it keep oneself from diving right in?"
Zincaller: "What a question... my every move is motivated by love!"
- {And in other news, the Pope is a Muslim and the Dalai Lama is a Jewish Orthodox.}

What is your job?
Atlas: "A knight."
CM: "A singer and a nomad, jems of emotion spreading far, in lands where these are strange, and gathering the jems of yonder lands, i spread their strangeness near to us, enriching all who heark..."
- {Also, zealous assassin}
Noulminur: "I am a Messenger-In-Depth and Priest of the Sewrneoughmix. If you didn't know that, why are you interviewing me?"
Thok: "I am an adventurer," *different voice:* "an ambassador" *own voice:* "and a scholar" *very different voice:* "and a spy" *own voice:* "of many obscure and spectacular topics" *absolutely strange voice:* "of ghh'khra#fwv'%zj!"
- {Yepp, he's an alienist}
Zincaller: "I am an exile... and i survive... as every exile ever did. From time to time... i am hired... for one of my skills or another. But mostly... i am a wonderer."

Boy or girl?
Atlas: "I said i am childless!"
- {Male, but misunderstood the question.}
CM: "A boy."
- {true}
Noulminur: "I hope my firstborns will be twins, one of either. Wait, you mean ME? I am a male..." *murmured: "...you sightless, inbred dwarvelf."
Thok: "How many attempts do i have?"
- {male}
* FG: "Grrrrrl..."
Zincaller: "For me? Ah... the choice is so hard. Is there any way at all... that i could have both?"

What do you do to relax?
Atlas: "I cannot."
CM: "So many ways! A conversation, music, or a swim, and plenty more things calm a man..."
- {He turns into his true form and goes wild until exhausted.}
Noulminur: "I drink, eat, dance, or wonder the wilderness. Nothing original, mefears."
Thok: "I find new and interesting ways to take apart and incorrectly reassemble myself."
Zincaller: "I remove whichever... factor... kept me tense... or stressed. Once there is nothing to keep me un-lax... i am relaxed."

What song do you think would best describe yourself?
Atlas: "That which shall be written of me one day."
- {But for now: Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory. And some others by Rhapsody.}
CM: "Come, let me sing it to you..."
- {Don't listen to him! It's really a lot of songs, at least two by Nightwish and thrice that by Elvenking.}
Noulminur: "Spooks & Chali 2na - Faster Than You Know"
- {Whaaaat? How come he knows modern hip-hop? :=S}
Thok: "It's called "Doom!""
- {Never heard of it. Try: Pixies - Where is my mind?}
* FG: "Mryamrumlrm? Frawrl..."
- {Ivasi - Feathers from a Peacock}
Zincaller: "Purrrhaps... Greensleeves?"
- {Try: Theatre of Tragedy - A Rose for the Dead}

Any hidden talents or something no one else knows about you?
Atlas: "I said i have no secrets! Do you question my truthfulness?!"
CM: "My talents are for all to feel. What use would they be hidden?"
- {because being an assassin and a shapeshifter obviously doesn't count, yes?}
Noulminur: "If i had such, why would i make an exception for YOU?"
Thok: "Hmm, "no one ELSE" would imply you only ask of things that I myself DO know about? In that case - i suppose not."
Zincaller: "I exploit a talent of my kind... in a way no one else ever has. You see... many different people... in different places... at times just preceding their apparent deaths... and just following their actual ones... were, in fact... me."

What do you think of your creator?
Atlas: "Slothful weakling."
CM: "I do revere Larethian, as all elves should, although my life i live in service to another..."
- {C-c-c-c-combo Lie!}
Noulminur: "Someone give him a guisarm and an order to use it, already!"
Thok: "Alas, poor Crawling Meower! I knew him, Ruthia: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy! He hath borne me in his head a thousand times..."
Zincaller: "He is... inconsequential. By his own device... he holds himself back from greatness... so i assure you... no one will remember him... even a year after his passing."

What color is your hair?
Atlas: "Black."
CM: "I shan't reveal my true shade. I dye it purple, purple is the color i am known by..."
- {Nice try; purple is his real color.}
Noulminur: "Are you BLIND? It is turquoise, like that of every other priest. Oh, you mean its natural color. It is black."
Thok: "It is pitch-black, except in areas where the Weave is altered - the Magical Weave, i mean, not what you thought - where it turns ebon, achromatic, or any number of other colors."
Zincaller: "You mean my fur? It it has black areas... and yellow ones... a most ungainly scheme... i often dye it... given both the time and materials."

What's your sexual orientation?
Atlas: "My WHAT?!"
- {Straight, can't imagine anything else, and is angered by big words.}
CM: "Love has no borders - not of kin nor kind; neither of gender, nor of age, and I erect no walls where none were built by gods..."
- {Despite overwhelming gayness, Chanting is probably straight. He might be emotionally bi, so to speak, but still straight physically.}
Noulminur: "Does it at all concern you that the only other time i heard this term was in the turture chamber of a noble house of DROW? Bah. Mine is apparently called "Hetero"."
Thok: "Boringly straight, i must admit. Oh, but Flwee-Glooey, on the other hand, is an exclusive paedophile!"
* FG: "Mroewurrrr murflroagh pphfrsh! <3"
Zincaller: *stares at interviewer with a maniacal grin*

2. Post 8 random facts about yourself in your dA journal.
3. At the end of your post, tag 8 more people to learn some random things about.
4. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.
============================================

1: When i was born, the temperature was nearly -40 degrees celsium.
2: My name refers to a cat-snake hybrid, from a short story i once read.
3: I am madly in love with another member of DA.
4: I am proud to be featured here:
5: I have recently spent a month in the presence of Snarf, a kitten, but had to give him away due to allergy.
6: I am gradually regaining anatomic symmetry, after a recent surgery.
7: I'm a rather good cook, even when it comes to things i'd never eat myself.
8: 8 is probably my favourit number.
============================================
I'm tagging both Raskin sisters, and my old buddy Rean. That's just 3 out of the 8 I'm supposed to, but i know from experience that nobody else will bother acknowledging the tag, much less doing this.
TAGGED:

I'm feeling like a spoiled little kid. Only unlike the vast majority of spoiled kids - i have no idea how to deal with this one. I can't get myself to do anything, even if i really want to, and enjoy the activity in question; much less if i actually need to.

See, i'm not even reading any of the stuff i'm following on DA. However, i've been tagged, and that might keep me entrtained for a while. So i'll do the quizz now, and actually read my friend's journal once i'm out of my current bitch phase.

Rules
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Tag 5 people.
5. With the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

My playlist currently has 1514 tracks in it. Let's do it.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?
The Way.
{By "Fastball". As in - "The Way i usually do"? No, it probably means the song;s content: "Where am i going without even knowing the way?" That's quite occurate.}

WILL YOU GET FAR IN LIFE?
Way to Blue
{By Nick Drake. Well screw you, Winamp. I may be depressed right now, but i intend to achieve a bit more in life than just getting on the way to depression. :=/}

HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS SEE YOU?
Retrospect
{By "Theater of Tragedy". Ha! My friends view me in retrospect! Hmm, no surprise here.}

WILL YOU GET MARRIED?
Moondance
{By Michael Bubble. I love this song, and i'm taking it as a "Yes". Sweeeet.}

WHAT IS YOUR BEST FRIEND'S THEME SONG?
Brahms - Hungarian Dance #5.
{Errr... which one am i to consider my best friend right now? NS? I always figured her theme would be either a Beatles piece, or one of her own songs.}

WHAT IS THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE?
Dawn of Victory
{By "Rhapsody of Fire". Wow, really? Cause i'm sure not feeling this way. If it;s just the dawn, does that mean victory is about to come soon? I sure hope so...}

WHAT WAS HIGH SCHOOL LIKE?
On the Road!
{Originally "El ha Derekh!", by the Giv'atron. The translation is literal, and the more meaning-oriented one would be "Onward1". Yes, there is a tangential semblance. What is it today with songs about ways and roads?}

HOW CAN YOU GET AHEAD IN LIFE?
The Magical Nights
{Originally "Ha Leilot ha Ksumim", by Nurit Galron. It's much more innocent than it sounds, actually - it's a song about a little boy spotting a faery. Then he turns around and she's gone. Make your own bloody interpretations.}

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?
Tea for the Tillerman
{By Cat Stevens. "While the sinners sin - the children play"}.

WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND?
Don't stop moving.
{By "S-Club 7". Fuck that! I'm tired of moving! I had two days to rest, and drew zero saticefection from that! I need some sort of REaL rest, and i can;t think of a way to get that. I've barely ever stopped moving for half a year now, and it shows on ym performance. I used to be a really good teacher, and now i SUCK. I had a flawless conduct at work, and now i'm just like the slackers i workl with. I need to get back to how i was, and i lack the faintest clue on HOW!}

TO DESCRIBE YOUR GRANDPARENTS?
Welcome to the City.
{By Amy Diamond. Makes no sence at all in this context.}

HOW IS YOUR LIFE GOING?
Just a-wearying for You.
{By Paul Robeson. Exactly!}

WHAT SONG WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Soldier
{By the Slackers. What?! Am i gonna die as some sort of a gay submissinve now?! Great, that's juuuuuust what i needed to hear, aha. >_< There is a MUCH more fitting song performed by this band. Hint: it starts with a P.}

HOW DOES THE WORLD SEE YOU?
The way I am.
{By Eminem. I sware i wasn't cheating. Another song with "Way" in it. The world views me the way i am? I strongly doubt that.}

WILL YOU HAVE A HAPPY LIFE?
Bottle Rocket.
{By "The Go! Team". Well, it sure SoundS happy, though i've no idea what they're on about.}

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS REALLY THINK OF YOU?
The Sea.
{By Vysockij. I like the song, but it's almost opposite to my personality. If that's how my friends see me - they're miles off track.}

DO PEOPLE SECRETLY LUST AFTER YOU?
Nymphomaniac Fantasia
{By "Nightwish". ROFLMAO! I'm taking this one as a compliment. I always knew i'm really a lesbian little girl. }

HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY?
Sacral Nirvana.
{By "Era". Don't give me that New-Age bullshit please, thank you very much.}

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
Heaven or Hell.

WILL YOU EVER HAVE CHILDREN?
Breathe.
{By Fabulous. Very well, i'll adopt.}

WHAT SONG WOULD YOU STRIP TO?
Moondance
{By "Nightwish", this time. Hmm, not a bad idea, actually.}

Beethoven's 5th symphony.
{Dude, get off my turf! And gimme that van, bitch!}

WHAT DOES YOUR MOM THINK OF YOU?
Dès Que Le Vent Soufflera
{By Renaud. Translates as "When The Wind Blows", and is said by a french-speaking friend to be a song about Freedom.}

WHAT IS YOUR DEEP DARK SECRET?
I don't wanna miss a thing.
{By "Aerosmith". No comment.}

WHAT IS YOUR MORTAL ENEMY'S THEME SONG?
Breaking the Habit
{By "Linkin Park". Great, my unknown mortal enemy is a fucking emo sissy.}

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY LIKE?
A Pain Song.
{By Izhar Ashdot. Originally "Shir Ke'ev". Well fuck you.}

WHAT SONG WILL BE PLAYED AT YOUR WEDDING?
A hit.
{By "Spooks". Are you saying i'll marry for the wrong reasons? Let's try the next one.}

Silent Night.
{By Charlotte Church. What, it's gonna be a CHRISTIAN wedding?! Next!!!}

Bring me to Life.
{By "Evanescence". Well, it's whiny, but positive in the end. I can relate to that. Still, if my funeral song makes my corpse somebody's gay bitch, at tleast i'll have a rich wedding repertoir, so - next!}

Oakenshield.
{By "Elvenking". Ok, fantasy-themed songs of heroism are good. But what has that to do with ym wedding? Next!}

Come out ye Black And Tans.
{By Brobdingnagian Bards. Shuddup! Just shuddup! Next!}

Taggity. Five people. Why the fuck bother? In the three or four quizzes i tagged for so far, no one really responded. I'll just tag my beloved - she's the only one {beside the one who tagged me} who's paying any bloody attention anyway:

For the offchance someone else will respond, the other four are:
