geeky_agent8. What is your character's favorite holiday?
Probably Halloween. She likes dressing up, the parties and, most of all, free candy. Being fond of fireworks and having fond memories of childhood trips for the holiday, Chris also likes the 4th of July.
9. What is your character's least favorite holiday?
I'm not sure if she has a least favorite. For a while Easter and Christmas were uncomfortable as she was the lone agnostic in family that was fairly devout (at least her siblings and her mom were). She tends to ignore Mother's and Father's Day now, since both her parents are dead and it still hurts too much. If it counts, she's not very fond of her birthday because it's the same day her dad died.
10. How close is your character to his friends? How well do they know him?
Chris used to closer to her friends at home but since she found Milliways (milliways_bar) she's grown apart from them. It's hard to keep a secret and she's always worried about slipping up, so she doesn't talk much to them, to prevent that from happening.
11. What is your character's darkest secret? Who else knows about it?
Probably, Milliways. She can't tell her family or friends about it (without them thinking she's nuts). The fact that she still loves Jack isn't a secret. (Well, maybe it is to Jack.)
Other than that...she won't say. But I have a feeling there's a few more lurking around there. For someone who hates secrets so much, she's very good at keeping them.
12. Does your character have any siblings? What sort of relationship does he have with them?
Two. Ryan and Caiti.
Ryan's a year younger and because of the small gap in their ages, he and Chris have always been close but this doesn't mean they'd get along. When they were younger they were more antagonistic, especially as they got into their teens but that mellowed a lot when they went off to college. Since then, their relationship got better and they share a few overlapping friends. (Though, not being Ross and Monica, they're not in the same circle.)
Caiti's about eight years younger than Chris. Because of this, Chris has always been protective of her. The two sisters didn't always spend a lot of time together once Chris went off to college and then the Army but they always had a good, if not close, relationship. When their father died and Chris went to go live with Caiti, they became a lot closer and can honestly say they're each other's friends.
Since entering Milliways, Chris has become more distant from both her siblings.
13. What is your character's favorite hangout?
Milliways! Her dad's there. (Jack too, of course.) Along with a bunch of other people she can't see that often outside of Milliways.
14. Where does your character feel most safe?
In her home, wherever that is, and around her family and loved ones. (Usually, anyway.)
22. Does your character have any children? What kind of relationship does he have with them?
No children that she knows of. She's not sure if she wants children (it'd be nice but it's not a big deal).
23. Does your character like to read? If so what does he read, and under what circumstances? Is he a casual reader or a die-hard fanatic?
Chris loves to read. Something she got from her parents (especially her dad, who is almost compulsive about it). Their house always had a lot of books in it and reading was encouraged.
• Make up the titles of three books your character has read in the last year.
The Age of Space Exploration - R. Kilpatrick
One and a Decade - William H. Cooke
The Lady is a Sniper - Anne Halsted
• Go to an online bookstore and find three real books your character has bought in the last year.
The Best American Short Stories of 2011 - Laura Furman
Rocks of Ages: Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life - Stephen J. Gould
American Promethus - Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin.
Has he actually read them?
She working through the book of short stories and has finished the Rocks of Ages and American Promethus.
24. What is your character's favorite type of music? Does he have any favorite musicians?
She tends to like indie rock, geek rock, post-rock and other offbeat and occasionally emo sounds. Her favorite musicians are Stereolab, They Might be Giants, Beck, Zero 7, Ben Folds Five and Fiona Apple.
• Make up the names of three fictional bands your character feels strongly about.
Thrillho - Geek rock. Many references to popular culture (like name).
Shayla Olson - Indie rock/Folk sound.
Three Pogs - Mostly post-rock sound, some dabbling with emo.
• Go to an online music store and find three real albums your character has bought in the last year. Does he still listen to them?
She doesn't buy albums anymore, just the singles. All online.
25. Your character wakes up to find that war has been declared. What does he do?
It's doubtful she'd wake up to find this out. Chris probably would have already been at CTU or called to CTU to help gather intelligence needed.
26. When he was a child, what did your character want to be when he grew up?
Lots of things. She wanted to be an astronaut, a astrophyscist, an astronomer (noticing a trend?) an FBI agent, computer engineer, a "professional" hacker and career military at various points.
27. Is your character doing the job he always thought he wanted to do when he grew up? If so, is it all he thought it would be? If not, why not and does he have any regrets?
It's pretty similar at points, yeah. She struggles with her job sometime, moreso after her father's death.
28. What does your character wish he could do that he can't? How badly does he want it and what would he do to get it?
She really wishes she could tell her brother and sister about Milliways and bring them there to see her dad. It eats her up that she can't and, aside from making a deal with the devil, there's not too much she wouldn't do. Chris just doesn't know what she can do.
Probably Halloween. She likes dressing up, the parties and, most of all, free candy. Being fond of fireworks and having fond memories of childhood trips for the holiday, Chris also likes the 4th of July.
