Rover'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 before Rover's first Contract.

Rover lives in a tossed-out dog bed out behind a Petco, under a cardboard box for shelter. By all rights, he should stink to high-heaven and be filthy, but Rover keeps very good care of himself. That's not where Rover usually stays, however. He usually roams the mean streets of New Yowrk, doing dog stuff like getting pets and scavenging food. Typical dog stuff. You ever see those videos of dogs waiting patiently outside of a bodega and the owner treats the dog like a normal customer and gives it some meat or a snack and the dog takes it happily and trots away and it's implied that this is like, an everyday occurrence? That's basically Rover's whole deal. His home is the dusty brick buildings sprayed with graffiti, the searing hot concrete that you could fry an egg on, the concrete jungle streets and the smoggy sky.

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

Rover has like no money, what little he gets is from people assuming that he is somebody's show pet and they sometimes tuck a couple 5's into his collar when he does a funny trick like walking on his hind legs or something. Rover doesn't really spend money on goods. But he does sometimes go to Slim Tim for dog treats. It's not usually very expensive. But it is kinda weird that he's selling treats to dogs in the first place. Not that this fact really ever occurs to Rover. Anyways, the other things that Rover spends money on is warm bedding in the winter time and sometimes he saves up for funny clothes like a little bow-tie or sequin vest. This is purely because he has learned that this is "cute" and "adorable".

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?

Rover is a dog and likes people. He wants peace between animals and humans.  If he had the power to think really hard about what his power might mean, he'd probably think that it was a good chance to establish peace and understanding between species and to be an ambassador of animals. However, if there were some sort of situation where humans and animals were fighting and he had to make a hard choice between humans and animals, he'd choose to be on the side of animals. That would be a sort-of last resort, though. He's mostly a pacifist. He's a dog. Dog dog dog, dog dog dog dog. Doggy, doggy, dogggg. Dog oggy gog, dog dog dog. dog dog!

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

Link Answered before Rover's first Contract.

Rover is a dog every day. Many days are the same for a dog. Rover has made friends with a bodega owner who feeds him a sausage each morning. His name is Hank. But Rover guesses that a more defining moment of life was the time that they spoke to a few drunk patrons out the back alley of a bar and told them that violence was wrong. They gave him some pats and a lick from a funny tasting can and then went away. That was kind of fun. Also the time he caught his tail. That was the best.

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