Tagged by :iconateliae: again. This time I'll be using the character who's the polar opposite of Tyran. She's kind, gentle, forgiving, and whatever the opposite of cynical is. I am referring, of course, to Jastre.
  • If you possessed incredible power that likes of which people have never seen before, what would you do with it?
  • Jastre: I'd make this world a better place, but I'd deliberately keep some suffering built-in. What's the point of an afterlife if we're born into paradise? Plus, people tend to get spoiled if you give them everything they want straight off the bat.

  • If you went back in time to find the younger version of someone would would eventually be responsible for the deaths of millions, would you take their life?
  • Jastre: No. Anyone can be educated properly. Even if it took my entire life to show them the right way to do things, it would be worth it if I didn't have to kill a defenceless child.

  • Someone robs you in a crowded street. You chase them down and catch them in the alleyway. You discover them to be starving and homeless. The police arrive on the spot and asks what's going on here. What do you do?
  • Jastre: That literally happened once. Except he wasn't starving or homeless, also he kept looking at my chest and midriff while I was yelling at him. Then he said I was discriminating against his race, sorry, I realize I'm ranting, it just still pisses me off. Anyway, if he was genuinely in want, I would let it slide.


  • People who persecuted you because you were different are now in mortal danger. You have the power to save them but you would risk your own life in the process. Would you save them?
  • Jastre: Well, look. There's no guarantee they'd be moved by my gesture and not immediately kill me once I saved them, when you think about it.

  • The one you loved betrays you in your time of need. How do you react? 
  • Jastre: I'd probably feel like my heart was torn apart at first, but then I'd react calmly and rationally. Maybe too calmly....

  • Your arch nemesis is about to kill people in front of your very eyes, you can stop them but it would require taking their life. Would you do it?
  • Jastre: Well, if it could save innocents, I'd say killing someone who hates me is win-win. I don't like killing, let me emphasize. It's never a good solution. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's the only solution.

  • You are told the means to an end of making the world a truly better place. But, this path would be paved in blood no matter how good the intentions are. Would you go through with it?
  • Jastre: No! People who say "the ends justify the means" are merely making an excuse for self-serving behavior, and they are in the same vein as tyrants who want to purge their empires of people who don't look like them, all in the name of uniformity, purity, and the "greater good".

  • You are dying of a terrible disease. You can be saved but it would require you to become an AI inside an artificial body. Would you choose to die a human? Or live on as a soulless machine?
  • Jastre: I'd honestly think that a soul is defined as understanding emotion and compassion, so as long as I still had that, I wouldn't mind living on in a chunk of silicon.

  • You have a robot friend. But circumstances happen that put its life in jeopardy. Would you risk you own life to save a machine with apparently no soul?
  • Jastre: Um...what? Well, no. That's like saying, "You have a pet Slinky. Would you hang yourself to make sure no one tangled it?"
  • You find yourself with strong emotions of affection for someone but they are unable to engage in intercourse with you. On the other hand, you have someone else who is physically attractive to you and is willing to "service" you whenever you want. Who would you choose?
  • Jastre: I'd rather be loved romantically than "physically" anyway, if you get my drift. So the first solution is ideal, actually.

  • The world is ending but you have the power to do one final thing. Save your sick and dying loved one or save an entire civilization of people you've never met?
  • Jastre: Well, if the world is ending they're all gonna die, boy. But assuming that part of the question is a mistake, I'd rather...save the loved one. I'm sorry. It's not that I'm selfish, I don't think, it's just that I'm the sort of person who can never make a small sacrifice for a greater good, if I can refer you back to that earlier question. Plus I'd rather hang out alone with them in an empty world, than be hailed by a people as their hero who had forsaken their best friend.

I really like reading those questionnaire thingies : D
It's also funny, because I can see some resemblance of thoughts/personality between Anaema and Jastre on certain answers o:
