Summer Rayne's Questionnaire

I live in Eugene, Oregon. I live here because I love how close to nature it is, while still being a big enough city to have a fun social life. My home is a small house just outside the city. My office is setup for streaming so it has my PC and webcam along with posters and figurines as decoration. My bedroom is similar with a large dresser and mirror. I also have a massive closet to hold a huge variety of outfits for my various forms. Otherwise I have a kitchen where I'll mostly bake cookies for myself, and a garage with an old Nissan that I use to get around town or to go on a trip to the woods.

I get my money by streaming, usually games but occasionally I'll do a q and a stream while baking. I have a decently sized core fan base that provides a mostly stable income with some sporadic large donations providing the occasional bonus.

I tend to spend my money on new games, which I can also count as a business expense, and clothes. My clothes can be a little tricky since I like to experiment with different forms and bodies. My closet is full of clothes that are all different sizes and styles. I've even had to start keeping clothes in my office.

My goal is to meet others like me: strangers, outcasts, non-humans in a world of humans. I'd love to find the fae and get to know my people, but I also love meeting new people. Finding any other species and learning about their life and society would be an amazing experience for me. I don't know why I would have to kill for that, but I don't think I could even if I was willing to. I've never been in a fight and don't have any experience with weapons, so probably wouldn't be able to kill anyone. I'd also rather not nearly die for my goals, but I would understand if the people I'm looking for lived in dangerous, hard to reach places.

The first time I shape shifted completely changed my life. I didn't realize it wasn't normal at first, since it felt so natural to me. Once I convinced my parents that the strange boy in our house was actually me, I realized I was different. Then when I changed back in front of them, the looks of disgust and horror on their faces changed our relationship forever. They seemed scared of me, and we all seemed to understand that I wasn't really their kid. As soon as I turned 18, I moved out and away from my parents to setup my own life in Eugene.

Joe is probably my closest friend. He helps me with all my tech setup, and he will occasionally pop on stream himself for the cooking or hanging out streams. He's a good guy. I suspect he may have initially had a crush on me, but after a brief heart to heart I explained I wasn't looking for any romantic relationships now. I also told him I'm trying to figure out who I am now that I'm living on my own.

The other people I'm closest to are probably the friends I stream with, Claire and Greg. I've got a consistent group of friends that I'll play with for the various co-op and social deduction games. I stopped playing the social deduction games for awhile, since they were particularly hard for me to play without lying.

None of them know I'm a changeling. I'm not brave enough to risk showing them what I am after what happened with my parents.

My childhood was pretty good up until I turned 16 and gained my changeling power. After that my relationship with my parent's fully collapsed.

Before that however, my actual childhood was great. I had loads of friends, and basically got along with everyone in school. I have a way with people, which meant I could fit in with anyone or any group without really trying. The biggest issue was that I couldn't tell any lies, so I sometimes had trouble answering direct questions without hurting anyone's feelings. Eventually I got really good at deflecting or redirecting questions that I wasn't comfortable answering truthfully.

My mom was an accountant at an insurance company, and my dad worked in tech support for a large pharmaceutical company. Both of them had pretty boring jobs, but they also made good money and had plenty of time to spend with me. My senior year of highschool was tough, since it was after my parent's saw the real me. I still had my friends, and once I graduated I moved out to start living on my own.

No, at least nothing serious. I've had a handful of crushes and boyfriends throughout high school; none of them ever got too serious, though. Once my powers came in, I wasn't sure what to do or how to have a relationship. I wasn't even sure who I was anymore; I need to figure out who I am, and what I want before I can try to incorporate another person into my life.

My close friend, Joe, seems to be interested in a relationship. For now I've convinced him to just be friends, and hang out with me around town and on stream.
