We gonna be here a while.

Quick reminder that I am Lord High Queen of Self-Inserts. Let us begin!
So first there was Maeril (originally spelled Marel), an OC based in the Shannara world. Elf princess, dark haired, commanded great golden eagles and an accomplished swordswoman. Her backstory was tragic and she was a tough loner kind of character. She had a sister named Darrian (originally spelled Darian), who was several years younger and golden as the sun, and in command of bears. I...may have been reading The Sword Bearer by John White at the time.

Darrian was smaller and cuter, and an archer. Eventually these two characters split off and gained their own universe, complete with Merlin-inspired history and lots and lots of angst!
Then there was Airwrenhill (originally Arinhell), who was based in Narnia. Last of the line of King Frank, dark-haired, and also a sword-wielder. She... *blushes pink with embarrassment* married Peter. I... have no excuse for this travesty.

It remains in my lore, still, so I must suffer that shame myself. After Airwrenhill gained an identity of her own, I came up with Arrowyn, who was... *greater blush* the cousin of Caspian. She fought with multiple daggers laced over her body, and went from a brunette to a red-head, for the sake of having some continuity (in the books, Pruniprismia is redhaired).
Last but not least of my Narnian self-inserts, is Marin. Marin of Yuneth, the singularly most powerful girl in my extended universes. A mix of human, elven, and divine, and known as the Immortal, she is the character most based on myself, with my facial features and coloring, and a curious personality. Her backstory became more tragic the further I developed her, and she appears in almost every single story I write. I suppose she's my way of putting my own personal touch on anything I do. She also has a sister, a tawny-haired girl named Abilia, who is based on a real-life girl with a similar name.
I suppose at this point I should confess to basing many of my characters on real people. Sometimes multiple characters will be based on one person, leading to a strange, clone-like appearance, despite the differences in whatever universe they're in.
My mind is a strange place, my friend. Dare you to venture further?

Urban flat or country style ranch house?
Have you ever thought about forging your own weapons?
Do you draw pictures of Dragons?
Have you ever tried parkour?
Not yet! I hope to once I get my hands on a copy, but I haven't been by the library recently.
I loved them. Fourth is my favorite, but five had some great Jeremy Renner moments.
Probably urban flat. I like'em small and easy to clean.
Indeed. Daggers, mainly. I read a well-written Narnian fanfic about Edmund learning forging with Black Dwarves. Intriguing.
Nope. I am a poor artist, alas. I do better describing them.
I have seen several videos about it, but never tried it for myself. I would be open to doing it, of course.

There are NEVER too many questions, deary! I have a lot to say!

Devouring the souls of the innocent.

Duh. Also anime. Which a tool by which we devour the souls of the innocent, so it's all the same.
