Now, on to the rest. Questions are from No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days.

1. How old is he?
   He is over the age of 30 but under the age of 100. He can pass for 25 without a problem.
2. What is his gender?
   He has a penis, so I guess that makes him male. At least that’s how he would answer the question.
3. What does he do for work?
   Since he is a Magickal, Cullum works for the Spirits, the body of Magickals that guards the humanoids. He gets paid by them. He also has money he inherited upon the death of his parents, who were killed by a clan of rogue faeries.
4. Who are his friends, family, and love interests?
   Cullum has no surviving family, that he knows of. What he doesn’t know is that his sister survived the attack by the faeries that killed their parents. She never contacted him because she received a head injury that caused semi-permanent amnesia.
   He knows lots of people, and a few claim to be friends with him, but he only reciprocates that friendship with a select few:
   Temper Firebrand (a male faery)
   Ariandra Colorns (female Elven human)
   Jamerly Mackonal (male human Magickal)
   His love interest will be Alestra Silvergust, if things work out the way they are supposed to.
5. What is his living space like?
   Because he’s rarely at his primary place of residence, the one in which is “mail” and stuff is usually sent, Cullum’s apartment is very plain and basic. The walls have no decorations, and there are hardly anything that marks the place as his. There are a few knick knacks that most would overlook but are very significant to him:
   A square-ish rock, in a pale grey, with what looks like quartz going through it. It was found by his brother, Tessar, when Tessar was 6 and Cullum was 8. Tessar died a year later. He was killed by Trevalar assassins, assassins for the Dark Faeries.
   A little horn, with a faded tattered red bow. It was his sister’s horn. It was one of the few things he found after the faery attack that killed the rest of his family.
   Those two items are found in the apartment and not on the ship because few know about the apartment, and he believes that to be the safest place to keep his most valued possessions.
   His ship is a different story.  It’s flashy, and while clean, is perceived as cluttered and messy. It’s where he spends a majority of his time, so it bears the stamp of his personality. The dark colors of the interior of the ship suit him perfectly.
6. What are his hobbies?
   He plays skyball, which is basically football but played in minimal gravity. It requires a lot of concentration and strength to be able to play it.
   He’ll never admit to it, but he also plays the treylym, which is a type of flute.
7. What was he doing a year ago? Five years ago?
   One year ago, he was giving up on the search for his sister. He was still hoping to find her safe, and alive, but the lack of evidence in proving so was wearing on him.
   Five years ago, he was pulling himself out of a dangerous spiral that he fell into after the brutal murder of his family. He only came out of it with the help of his few true friends.

PANIC!!

Okay, more world building!

• How does this world differ physically from earth? Is it the same size (same density, same gravity), same ratio of land/water, same atmosphere, etc.? Does it have more than one sun or moon? Rings? Are there spectacular constellations/comets, etc. visible at night or by day?
  The planet that the current story will mainly take place on has 3 moons and 2 suns. The constellations will be similar as what we have on earth but with different names. Certain ones will be visible at night and others during the day. Water ratios will be the same, though the planet will be nearly twice as large as earth itself.
• Are there non-human inhabitants of this planet (elves, dwarves, aliens)? If so, how numerous? How openly present? What areas do they occupy?
  Elven Humans: They are usually found in the more wooded, mountain-y areas, but not high in them because the cold seems to not react well with their systems.
  Vampiric Humans: They tend to live anywhere. They blend in easily, as long as they don’t smile too broadly.
  Gods/Goddess: They literally can be found anywhere.
  Shape Shifter: They can be found most anywhere. If they’re of “animal birth” they’re found in the prominent areas of their animal brethren. The ones of “human birth” will be found in the areas humans are found.
  Faeries: Since faeries have the ability to live the size of humans, they can be found most anywhere. If they choose not to be of human size, they’re usually then found in remote areas, usually warmer climates.
• How are the continents laid out? If there is more than one moon/sun, how does this affect winds, tides, and weather generally?
  They’re basically all clumped together with some islands. Most of the islands are considered inhabitable because of high tides. It floods them. But, because they are a more technologically savvy civilization, they’ve adapted so that certain races, such as faeries, can exist on the islands, just in housing high enough to be out of the water at the highest points.
• How much land is there, and how much of it is habitable?
  Besides the islands, most of the land is habitable and populated.
• Is the axial tilt and orbit the same — i.e., does the world have the same seasons and same length of year as Earth?
  On this world, the seasons are more extreme in the middle, so technically there are 6 seasons instead of only 4:
  Spring (Aspria)
  Summer (Susperia)
  High Summer (Julepria)
  Fall/Autumn (Tropria)
  Winter (Properia)
  High Winter (Iopria)
