Donovan's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Link Answered after Contract 1, Mushroom Hunt

I currently live in Limerick, Ireland. My house is 21 Bourke Avenue, pretty nice to live in. I tend to have minimal furniture in the house, but it is very comfy to live here. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I have a grocery store called Sami Swoi within eyesight of my house, as well as the train station being less than a 10 minute walk away. To get around the city, I tend to bike rather than take my car. The car is an ecotronic grey 2022 Hyundai KONA Electric.

 

I used to live in Dublin, Ireland, but after Primus discovered that I was a unique, I felt I had to leave my low level job at Primus, or become one of the uniques I see forced to work for them (through no fault of their own).

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

I tend to switch jobs frequently, with most ending less than a year later. I mainly tend to stick to the castles, museums, art galleries, grocery stores, and various hotels, doing various maintenance jobs that they need filled. One hobby I decided to get into to not worry people so much about the gift is locksmithing, since that makes it more reasonable to people. I tend to be able to go through most of the building for my duties without needing additional keys due to my gifts, but I mainly reassure the employer I just have a spare key or show them my locksmithing kit when questioned.

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

My ambition is to free every unique from wrongful Primus control. This is not to say every unique has to be separated from Primus, just that they will have the choice to leave if they do not want to be there (those under some sort of mind control or similar count for this, once the control is erased it will be their decision).

 

I would go so far as to not get myself captured by Primus to achieve this currently. Would I kill for this? Yes, but only in very extreme circumstances. If I can free all of them without dying, I would be very pleased that I was able to help the cause that way. I would not put myself on the direct front line of an armed conflict to free them, though.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

The most defining event of my life was when I received the letter. The contents basically told me that I was going to become unique shortly, and that I should leave my job at Primus unless I wanted things to spiral out of my control. Finally, it was sent from someone called Timeslot. I didn't believe it at first, but I decided it would be better to listen to it rather than become another unwilling unique under Primus control.

 

I submitted my resignation, and did my final week before I left on good terms with the Dublin Primus headquarters. During that final week, I was able to get an interview as a nightly cleaner/security guard over in Limerick. It paid pretty decently, but not as good as the Primus job before it. I decided to accept it, and moved shortly after. Within 2 weeks of moving, I did get my power to unlock most things, so the letter was right, which feels scary to say the least.

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

1.  Connor Riordain, my friend. I tend to hang out with them the most in my free time, and have known them for the longest among my friends. They live over at 9 Sexton Street, Limerick. We usually visit People's Park, or one of the various pubs that are around when we hang out.

2. My father is a jeweler. He works over at the Weir & Sons over in Dublin, Ireland. I try to make time to visit him at least once a month, and we tend to get along well. He still is together with my mother, though I get along better with him than I do with her.

3. Mary Nora, a museum curator. She works over at the Hunt Museum in Limerick. I tend to go to her when I can't find any jobs elsewhere, as she is usually able to get me a job within 2 weeks if needed.

6. How was your childhood? Who were your parents? What were they like? Did you attend school? If so, did you fit in? If not, why not?

My childhood was pretty normal, all things considered. My parents are Brandon and Stephanie. Brandon, my father, is the jeweler over at Weir & Sons in Dublin, Ireland who I told you about before. Stephanie, my mother, works in Google as a human resources manager currently. They met while watching a football game at The Old Storehouse Bar and Restaurant, and hit it off. My parents were very good to me, often leaving me feeling a little spoiled by them while I was living with them.

 

I attended Francis Street School for primary school and Christian Brothers Secondary School for secondary school. I was pretty decent at keeping up with my studies. Usually my grades were pretty good, on average low A2's to B2's, but gym classes were always something I struggled with. I fit in with most groups a bit, but was never really with any of the main groups that were there.

7. Have you ever been in love? With who? What happened? If not, why not?

Link Answered after Contract 1, Mushroom Hunt

I don't know if I have ever been in love, as I consider myself aromantic and asexual. I tend to hang out with friends who I consider close. I prefer to make friends, rather than look for any form of romantic involvement in things. Mostly, I tend to look for in other people is similar interests, that way we can connect as friends over things.

 

Definition of aromantic - Lack of romantic attraction to others; low or absent desire for romantic activity

Definition of asexual - Lack of sexual attraction to others; low or absent sexual desire or interest in sexual activity.
