So, this month's character of choice is: Redpaw, Wolf-hunter, from Feather and Fang
1. If your character’s house burned down, and they were left with nothing but the clothes on their back, what would they do? Where would they go?
Seeing as Redpaw spent his childhood as a wolf-cub, Contained during the Shieldsfell rule, he has had a lot of experience in living with nothing and no home. And since he has no family or real friends, he'd probably just head off into the woods without a backward glance. He lives in a tiny shack on the outskirts of Burndell, keeping mostly to himself, so no one would miss him.
2. Are they happy with where they are in life, or would they like to move on?
He doesn't know anything more than the life he has right now; being a solitary bounty hunter suits him pretty well right now. There is a longing for something more hidden deep down, but he doesn't know what for.
3. Are they well-paid?
Oh, quite well. Bounties make a nice bit of profit. Most of it gets buried away though, since he doesn't really know what to do with it.
4. Can they read?
Yes, though he would not be called a learned man. He would much rather read the signs of the forest than an old manuscript. He has a good memory, though, and has committed many of the tales and ballads of Quartorlen to heart, almost without trying
5. What languages do they speak?
Anglic, or "English." There are only three languages spoken on Primorlen, the ancient and slippery Dyrmtongue; spoken by those that come from Dyrmlen; the rough and plain Anglic by the folk of Quartorlen and Theorlen, and the lilting and musical Hidden speech used by those that dwell in the Burnmist of Theorlen.
6. What is their biggest mistake?
So far? Probably dismissing the feuding between clans as a necessary evil.
7. What did they play with most as a child?
Bones! I mean, being a wolf-cub... :P
8. What are their thoughts on politics?
Redpaw has grown weary of the incessant bickering and warring between the clans, and often wishes for a peace. But he tells himself that such thoughts are not warrior-like, and must be forgotten.
9. What is their expected life time?
As a bounty hunter? Until his target proves too strong. He should like to reach eighty, though.
10. If they were falsely accused of murder, what would they do? How would they react?
All chaos would break loose. Redpaw is not easily provoked, but when he is, there is not much in the world of Primorlen that could dam up his anger. Accustomed to being able to fight to the top of any situation, being attacked with subtlety would render him confused and helpless, so he would lash out in the only way he knew.
Thanks for the questions! Now I want to go write Feather and Fang!

Wow, he sounds like a wonderful character you've got there! I presume he's some sort of shape-shifter if he spent his time as a wolf cub, but is now a "man" ... unless he's something else entirely ... how intriguing!
