Character Interview: Ammadeus Maste
Ammadeus is a mentor character to Coraline in The King’s Paladin (which you’ll be getting an excerpt of tomorrow). You’ll see that he’s pretty brooding and mysterious, and he’s a seer (the only one in the word, I think) which places a lot of responsibility upon his shoulders. I hope you enjoy his interview. :)
Ammadeus: *steps into the interview room and sits across from the interviewer, shrouded in his cloak and sitting rigid*
Interviewer: Good morning. How are you?
Ammadeus: *shrugs his broad shoulders*
Interviewer: I’m not going to hurt you. *laughs, because he’s a fairly small guy and Ammadeus is fairly burly*
Ammadeus: I know. Continue.
Interviewer: *clears his throat* Well then… What’s your name?
Ammadeus: Ammadeus Maste.
Interviewer: How old are you?
Ammadeus: Twenty. *the weariness of his voice indicates he’s far older, but there’s no lie in his tone*
Interviewer: Do you have any siblings?
Ammadeus: No.
Interviewer: Do you have a job.
Ammadeus: *doesn’t answer*
Interviewer: …Does that mean you can’t tell me?
Ammadeus: *still doesn’t answer*
Interviewer: All right then… Do you have a favorite food?
Ammadeus: *shakes head*
Interviewer: A favorite color?
Ammadeus: Anything but red.
Interviewer: Any particular reason for that?
Ammadeus: *doesn’t answer*
Interviewer: All right. Do you read?
Ammadeus: I can.
Interviewer: What’s your favorite animal?
Ammadeus: *doesn’t answer*
Interviewer: Do you have any hobbies?
Ammadeus: *still silent*
Interviewer: Which is most important to you: Kindness, intelligence, or bravery?
Ammadeus: None.
Interviewer: Why not?
Ammadeus: They’re all empty.
Interviewer: What makes you say that?
Ammadeus: *sighs* Intelligence gets you nowhere. Bravery can just as easily be called foolishness. Kindness is the only one that’s any use.
Interviewer: Honesty or selflessness?
Ammadeus: Selflessness. You won’t be around long anyway; why bother advancing yourself?
Interviewer: Well that’s… dark.
Ammadeus: *shrugs*
Interviewer: Um… one last question. What can’t you leave home without?
Ammadeus: I don’t have a home.
Interviewer: Why not?
Ammadeus: *shrugs again* Don’t need one.
Interviewer: Wow. Um… that’s it, then.
Ammadeus: *stands and leaves, leaving the interviewer mildly terrified*
…This is…an…ODD interview…
Well he’s an odd character. ;)
I like that “leaving interviewer mildly terrified”
Yeah. Ammadeus is quite the character. XD (He’s actually not as scary as he seems, he’s just really brooding and mysterious. ;D)
