Interviewing Famous Fossil Fighters
Saurhead: Intense, but not forthcoming in the least about his personal life. Extroverted, but antisocially. Gladly states his opinions on other fighters, but maintains his legend by keeping mum on any details that could humanise him. Was known to have drunk heavily back in the day; has since gone straight edge, substituting exercise for alcohol. That's the extent of what's known. Used to be a little more open in his 20s, but has gotten more and more reluctant to give away pieces of himself since.
Joe: Overshares, unless his family is involved, in which case he tries to keep things quiet. The media knew for a long time that he had a son, but didn't even know said son's name until Dino was 10—Joe endeavoured to give him a 'normal' upbringing, and failed spectacularly at the 'normal' bit by giving him inflated, miraculous versions of the things most kids get ('wanna go for a holiday in Switzerland next week? Easy done!'). However, he tried as best as he could to keep the media out of Dino's life, and managed relatively successfully until Dino started to take fossil fighting seriously.
Otherwise, Joe will discuss almost any part of his life in an interview. As polite as he is, he lacks a filter, and can bounce haphazardly between topics. He's fun to watch, in that he's a very good actor, so can easily assume whatever guise will be most enjoyable for a viewer. Moreover, his acting skills mean that he can usually manipulate interviewers into asking more or less about certain topics, and he can generally control how he comes across emotionally. Since being possessed, he's grown somewhat more honest with interviewers, and has started being comfortable to show discomfort on camera. Has a supercharged, super-magnetic stage presence.
Stryker: Extremely circumspect. Never boring to interview, in that he's an excellent storyteller, so can often explain what he needs to with perfect narrative timing. However, he plays his cards extremely close to his chest. Over the years, he's become a little more open, perhaps as a product of growing more comfortable with himself, but he makes an effort to be as succinct and unemotional as possible. That said, he's very funny, and has a laconic gift for summarising events that makes him a brilliant guest on talk shows. Was very visibly nervous on camera until he was about 25, at which point he both matured and learnt that beta-blockers are an excellent treatment for stage fright.
