Alia Aris's Questionnaire

Living here at this abandoned airfield? It's not the most.. glamorous of places, I know, but it's quiet. solitary. and well.. you know me. I prefer it that way. I wasn't always like this.. but anyways. I came here, away from all that noise, all those judging eyes. I guess you could call me a hermit now. Out here, I don't have to deal with people pretending to care or waiting for the next chance to tear me down. It's just me and the open space, the wind, the sky... and the occasional bird. It's simple. And I can think here. I can breathe. No one's around to remind me of what happened or to make me feel small again.

 I chose peace over pain. but now? with all these.. contracts.. i'm not sure i can hold onto that peace much longer.. only time will tell.

I do bush pilot jobs every now and then. Nothing too regular, just enough to keep me busy when I need to be. Flying out here in the wilderness, away from the cities and the crowds, gives me a sense of freedom. It’s just me, the plane, and the open skies. Plus, there’s always someone who needs supplies or people moved to places you can’t get to any other way. I guess you could say In this broken world. any good i can do gives me faith that there's still hope for it. I believe in kindness because i am kind. goodness because i try to be good. I'm no saint but. I live life ready to die at any moment. I've lived my life. but I will still reach for the goal until the day comes where my time on this world ends. And i will be at peace knowing i did all i could. besides... i know what awaits me after.

There’s more to this world than meets the eye. beyond the skies, if you peer beyond the veil a place where real magic exists. not the stuff borrowed from.. them. And I believe it holds the key to saving our world from the clutches of the powers that be.. how they came to be is a mystery, and so is their benevolence, they don't seem to value life, yet they don't actively end it. either way. this world is their playground.. you're not free.. not really.. no one is.

I’ve seen glimpses of it, I feel its power. Out here, away from the noise of the world, I can focus on finding a way to access that realm. It’s not just about hiding from the world anymore; it’s about preparing for something bigger. I’m convinced that if I can find a way to harness the magic from that realm, I can make a real difference. I can change things, tip the scales against the what's to come.

It all started with that one moment. one vision that changed everything. I was in the middle of a performance, right in the spotlight, when it happened. I had been at the top of my game, a rising star. But then, in front of everyone, I saw it. I don’t know how to explain it exactly this vision of the sky opening up, revealing something beyond, something magical. It was so vivid, so powerful, i wasn't.. lucid.

Right there, in front of a full house, I just stopped. I could hear the audience shifting in their seats, whispering, but I couldn’t snap out of it. I walked off the stage like I was in a trance, drawn toward something only I could see. I wasn’t in control. It felt like I was being pulled by some unseen force, something from that hidden realm beyond the skies.

When I finally came back to myself, it was too late. The damage was done. The performance was ruined. People were confused, angry. They thought I’d lost it. And maybe I had, in a way. After that, no one wanted to work with me. They said I was unreliable, that I couldn’t be trusted on stage again. Every role I auditioned for afterward? Denied. I went from being a rising star to a pariah almost overnight.

 Mom, she's the epitome of grace under pressure. She’s always been my rock, the one who supported me through everything—even after that humiliating night that ruined my career. She’s a retired nurse with a heart of gold, always putting others before herself. I know she doesn’t fully understand why I chose to live out here at the abandoned airfield, chasing after visions and trying to access a hidden realm, but she’s never judged me for it. She writes to me often, sending little care packages and reminders that I’m loved, no matter what. She’s the one person I can always count on for unconditional love and support.

Dad. he's always been a practical man, a retired engineer who’s always believed in hard work and logic. He’s never really understood my choices, even before everything went downhill. When I was in the acting world, he thought it was a waste of my potential, and after the incident, he was even more baffled by my decisions. He’s not one to express his emotions openly, but I know he worries about me. We don’t talk much these days, but I think deep down, he respects that I’m doing what I believe in, even if it’s far from the life he imagined for me.

Sensei. my mentor. and my savior. I trained under him for years, even before my acting career took off. He’s a man of few words, but his teachings are profound. He taught me discipline, focus, and how to find balance, both on and off the mat. After my career fell apart, he was one of the few who didn’t try to push me back into the “normal” world. Instead, he encouraged me to find my own path, even if it meant following a vision that others couldn’t see. He always said that sometimes the greatest battles are fought within, and I’ve carried those words with me ever since. He’s not just my martial arts master; he’s a spiritual guide, someone who’s helped me navigate this new life with a sense of purpose

My childhood was a mix of structure and imagination, i.. idolized a lot of fictional characters. tried to live up to all these unbelievable ideals. i don't regret it. shaped by the strong personalities of my parents and the lessons I learned from them. Growing up, my mom, was always there with a comforting presence. She was the nurturer, the one who would bandage my scrapes and listen to my wild stories with a patient smile. She encouraged my creativity, always pushing me to explore my passions, whether it was acting in the school play or drawing fantastical creatures in my sketchbook. She had this incredible ability to make me feel like anything was possible, like I could conquer the world if I set my mind to it.

my training? I started training in martial arts with him when I was young, maybe around eight or nine. My parents thought it would be good for me—something to teach me discipline and focus. 

When it comes to my love life, there’s not much to tell. I’ve never been in love—not really. Sure, I’ve had a few relationships here and there, but nothing that ever lasted or meant as much as people said love should. I guess, deep down, I’ve always been a bit of a loner, even when I was surrounded by people. It’s not that I’m afraid of getting close to someone; I just never felt that connection, that spark everyone talks about. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been focused on.. other things.

I’ve come to accept that maybe romantic love isn’t in the cards for me, and that’s okay. I’ve got other things that drive me, other things that give my life meaning. I’m on a path that most people wouldn’t understand, and I think I need to walk it alone. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll meet someone who sweeps me off my feet. maybe not.

I’ve faced a lot in my life humiliation, rejection, the unknown. And through it all, I’ve learned not to fear much. I’ve walked away from the world I knew, lived out here in solitude, and faced the uncertainty of what lies beyond the skies. I guess you could say I’m not afraid of danger or the unknown. I’ve embraced those things. To me, fear is just a distraction, something that keeps you from doing what you’re meant to do. And I’ve let go of most of it.

But there’s one thing that does scare me losing the people I care about. It’s funny, really, because I’ve always been a bit of a loner... always thought I was fine on my own. But then you realize, it’s not about having a crowd around you. It’s about those few people who truly matter. The thought of losing them... of not having their comforting presence in my life, is something i.. cannot bear. we don’t always see eye to eye, but I would give my life for theirs in an instant without them i would have been lost.. in limbo.. I fear the emptiness that would come if they were no longer around. The darkness that would envelope me. the only thing that would keep me going is knowing they're still with me still. and that they would want me to go on.. to change the world.
