MUN QUESTIONS.
Q1 : if you could write your character your way in their own movie , what would it be called , what style would it be filmed in , and what would it be about ?
A1 : Well, technically, she has a film. Though to be fair, I would make the whole thing longer, less PG, way more of a war film with Lovecraftian/Steampunk overtones than what we got.
Q2 : what would their soundtrack / score sound like ?
A2 : German opera, steampunk instrumentals... Hans Zimmer. Maybe some prog-rock bits a la Savatage?
Q3 : why did you start writing this character ?
A3 : I loved Atlantis and Helga as a kid, so that has always been there. But while I was in the finals days of a fandom that didn’t care if I existed, I watched the film and we just... clicked.
Q4 : what first attracted you to this character ?
A4: She was unlike any film heroine that I had seen before then (I was 8). She was sarcastic and kick-ass and not genuinely good. She was active and suffered real consequences in her story. May or may not have also found her hot.
Q5 : describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.
A5 : As someone who likes to think of themselves as morally upstanding, the fact she tends to give so few shits about others
Q6 : what do you have in common with your muse ?
A6 : The snark. that is all.
Q7 : how does your muse feel about you ?
A7 : I’m one of those stupid artsy types.
Q8 : what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with ?
A8 : Joseph Korso, Gerge Armstrong Custer, Prince Adam (The Beast), Jacob Frye, Haytham Kenway, Judge Claude Frollo, Kent Mansley, Dean McCoppin, Charles Emmerson Winchester III, Prince Hans Westergaard, and there are many more but those stick out the most to me for their dynamics.
Q9 : what gives you inspiration to write your muse ?
A9 : Honestly? Her compelling nature as a character. I don’t really have to look to an outside source to be inspired.
Q10 : how long did this take you to complete ?
A10 : HOURS
