> 1. What is the first character you remember creating?

Either Batman or Indiana Jones (waaaaaay before Adventurers came about).

> 2. Of your current characters, which did you build first? Last?

First: Prince Fast, leader of my elves/Forestmen.
Last: Major Domo, military strategist to the King.

> 3. Do you have clear “good” and “bad” characters, or is it all relative?

Mainly well-defined, with a few "shades-of-grey" characters for good measure
(noble thieves, mercenaries, and the like).

> 4. Have you ever built a MOC specifically for a pre-existing character?

My characters are always made long before I build any MOC's for them (in
fact, my current figs have been around for a good few years now, and I still
haven't gotten around to making a castle for them!).

> 5. How many custom (non-standard assembly) castle figs do you have? How
> many have some bit of a background, or a personality?

If you mean "custom" in the sense of "not found in any official set", then
all of them (200ish)! My only "custom" figure in the "took a knife to a
brick" sense is my executioner, Carn, whose hood is a wingless Batlord
helmet. Around 50% of my characters have backgrounds, the rest being generic
soldiers.

> 6. Which Castle subtheme has the best figs?

Fright Knights (not counting Witches, of course!).

> 7. Is there a type of fig you find easy to make? A type you find difficult?

Easy: soldiers.
Difficult: Wizards that don't all look alike.

> 8. Have you ever bought a set just for the figs?

All the time.

> 9. Which non-Castle theme is the best source of Castle compatible figs?

Tie between Star Wars and Pirates.

> 10. Is making a background and/or personality for a fig something you find
> simple, or challenging?

Simple, really, although I confess that *original* characters are hard to
come by; most of my figures' histories are ripped off / amalgamated from
assorted fantasy novels, films, and comics.

  Mini-Fig Survey
 
Hi everybody. :-) I thought it would be fun to have a mini-fig survey. I had two different things in mind for this survey, so I used two different terms to better express what I was asking. A “character” is a fig that you have given a name, a (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
