The OC Challenge: Featuring Bunter

Thuggishsplicer (Gamer's Corner) tagged me to complete the OC Challenge. So I chose one of my sims for the interview, and here's what I came up with.

The Rules:
1. Pick a character you’ve created.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were that character.
3. Tag at least four people to do this meme.
_____


1. What is your name? 
I've been known by several names, but I was born as Majid Bahador in Persia, 1250. I come from a family of Djinn. As a young man, I was imprisoned in a lamp (long story) and was passed from master to master until I was set free. I then took on the name Marvin Bunter and served as Lord Piers Wimsell's sergeant in WW1 and more recently as His Lordship's valet.

2. Do you know why you were named that? 
Why I chose Bunter as my current name? I wanted to see what it would be like to live as an Englishman for a while. I admired Lord Wimsell and his civilized respectability. I thought I'd try living a Proper life and rein in some of my wilder Djinn nature. As for my Persian name: Majid means Triumphant and Bahador means Courageous.

3. Single or taken?
Oh, I'm quite taken ... now.

4. Stop being a Mary Sue!
Are you calling me a Schmoozer?
5. What’s your eye color?
Amber brown.

6. How about hair color?
Jet black.

7. Have you got any family members?
I have one half-brother still alive, a bit older than I am. His name is Emad Faraz. He's also a genie, of course, but has more of an Evil disposition. We, uh, had a falling out (another long story), and do not keep in touch. Ok, so the truth is, I banished Emad from my life. What can I say? My brother tried to kill me.

8. Oh, how about pets?
Well, the household has two small dogs named Clouseau and Mulder. They're like family. Smart and spoiled rotten.

9. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like.
Krakens. I hate Krakens. Any kind of cephalopod, for that matter! (See question 7--My brother tried to kill me.)

10. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Since moving from London to Rinn Fada, I've found that I enjoy boating, fishing, and exploring. I'm an adventurer really, a man of action. And a man of romance. I do enjoy the company of women. But just one lady now. Honest. I'm Eternally Faithful. I have the reputation to prove it. And let me tell you, I earned that rep!

11. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before? Physically?
Guilty. In the past, I might have been a bit of a cad. And there also were times I lived a very violent lifestyle.

12. Ever… killed anyone before?
Only bad people.

13. What kind of animal are you?
Isn't being a Djinn demon enough? Well, let's see, I'm a Sagittarius, too.

14. Name your worst weaknesses.
I battle with my own Djinn nature. Djinn can be self-serving, amoral tricksters. Ok, we can be real nasty at times.

15. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Absolutely. As I mentioned, Lord Piers Wimsell is a man of honor who I try to emulate, but fall miserably short. I also admire my love, Caprice Spritan.

16. Are you straight, gay or bisexual?
Wow, that's a little personal! You know, I have lived a very long time, almost 700 years. Think about that.

17. Do you go to school?
I'm not really the "sit down and study" kind of guy. But I'm no dummy either. Perceptive, that's me. Cunning.

18. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Up until recently, I would have answered No to that question. But lately, I've been thinking about marriage. Not sure I want to bring any more little demons into the world though. My brother and I ... well, I won't get into that!

19. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
I do know how to please! Centuries of masters and mistresses, so what's not to like?

20. What are you most afraid of?
Getting stuck in a lamp again, losing my freedom, and having to serve people I hate.

21. What do you usually wear?
Formal wear and suits. Persian Djinn attire. Adventure gear. 

22. What’s one food that tempts you?
Food? With all the temptations out there in the world, and you're asking me about food?

23. Am I annoying you?
Afraid I might ensorcel you and take control?
24. Well, it’s not over!
Ever been banished? I could make that happen.

25. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
I am Djinn. I have the power to join whatever class I choose, whatever position appeals to me.

26. How many friends do you have?
Innumerable. I'm a very likable guy.

27. What are your thoughts on pie?
I have no thoughts on pie or any other food preparation. You have to understand, I just conjure food or eat it. I don't cook or bake ... ever.

28. Favorite drink?
Cherry Casanova

29. What’s your favorite place?
I've grown quite attached to Rinn Fada. Ireland is an enchanting country. Reminds me of Persia, with less sand.
30. Are you interested in anyone?
There's this certain little fairy named Caprice. I'm very interested in her.

31. That was a stupid question.
I won't argue with that.

32. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Krakens live in the ocean. (See question 9.)

33. What’s your type?
I've enjoyed all types. But at the moment, I have a strong attraction to magical fairies who garden and love the outdoors and enjoy decorating and riding miniature trains, who laugh and tease and tell stories.

34. Any fetishes?
I find wings very alluring.

35. Camping or indoors?
I prefer the luxury of indoors, but I'm always up for new experiences. As long as there's magic in the air!
