When I was younger, I created a cast of characters that were named after
myself and my friends, plus some others that were characters from various
video games. (When I get a scanner, I'll be able to show you guys those
creations.)
> 2. Of your current characters, which did you build first? Last?
My first character created for CW was Vincent and the last one I created was
Merciator.
> 3. Do you have clear good and bad characters, or is it all relative?
Yeah, it's pretty clear cut, I've even got "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys" as
categories on my site.
> 4. Have you ever built a MOC specifically for a pre-existing character?
That's pretty much all I do now, along with creating structures specifically
for my stories.

Almost all my characters have a background and a personality, with the
exception of my soldiers. I couldn't tell you right now how many are
custom, but I do spend a lot of time trying to come up with a fig that looks
that way I want it to.
> 6. Which Castle subtheme has the best figs?
I'd say Dragon Masters because of the cool torsos and the dragon helms,
which I think are one of the coolest castle helmets. DM also introduced
dragons, which were, and still are, very cool!
> 7. Is there a type of fig you find easy to make? A type you find difficult?
Peasants are probably the easiest for me because they're mostly just
combinations of SW figs. There has been a certain level of difficulty in
creating all my characters with a background, I may take half-an-hour of
experimenting with different parts and pieces to come up with a figure that
looks just right.
> 8. Have you ever bought a set just for the figs?
Yeah, figs a pieces, I rarely look at a set and buy it because of how it
looks on the front of the box. If it's a set with good parts, then I'm there!
> 9. Which non-Castle theme is the best source of Castle compatible figs?
Has anyone else said Star Wars yet? ;-) I also use a lot of Pirate heads
for my figs.

Sometimes it's simple and it just flows, but other times it's a challenge to
make the characters fit in with your story line. But that's still a lot of
fun. LEGO's are supposed to challenge you aren't they?
Great questions Leah!

This is not a plug, it's for reference for my answers. Uh, do you buy that?
Okay, who am I kidding, it is a plug, I'm sorry I lied. :-)
