GRINDING GEARS

The Easy Stuff:
Name - Eugene Sutton...
Age - Nineteen.
Gender - Male.
Occupation - Full timer carer.
Species - Human. Clearly. Is there much a point to this?

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - I don't know. I've not really sat down and thought about it. Granola bars do the job well. I guess?
Favourite Restaurant - I haven't eaten out in years. Long enough that I've forgotten what it's like.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - Brand is mutable to me. I shop at thift stores. You take what's there. Now, you find me a good historian with an eye for detail, who doesn't use modern techniques on the re-enactment uniforms, and I'll happily sport those.
Favourite Music - I get grief for this from everyone else. But there's nothing wrong with the modern trends. Hip hop is a natural progression of music styles. And Stormzy isn't 'strangling that cat for all it's worth'.
Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - Fish. Cat's don't need you. Dogs are too active. Birds leave you. A fish has a clear, reasonable, dependency.
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Of course... It's getting the others to brush theirs that's the trick.
Can they swim? - Ye- No. I'll get to it. It's finding time these days.
Allergies - It's funny. I can list everything my mum's allergic to. But can't think of anything myself.
Weapon of choice - I'll never learn the longbow. Not like Wayland. Didn't start soon enough. If it's not the Lorica suit itself, then I'm learning the longsword nicely. I'd better, for all the grief it takes.
Can they carry a tune - People have said so. They're wrong. Don't argue.
What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - As long as it's got easy access doors, I'll drive a tub.
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - It feels like I don't own any of the electronics. I've got a dozen recruits inside me who want their own. So we share. Eurrsk throws a fit if we change a setting. Can kinda see why.

Grinding Gears
What are in their pockets and why are they there - I don't need to look. I've got a mnemonic. My scheduling notepad. The pen for it. The pen for when that pen inevitably fails. A week's prescription of my mum's tablets for when we reach her. Swiss army knife. Phone. Keychain with the current keys. Wallet. Lighter - I don't trust anyone else with it. Eurrsk's tablet. Fitbit. Bookmark. The last should be self explanatory.
How do they like their Sunday breakfast - Same as any other day. The day of rest is dead in modern society.
What’s in their Wednesday morning routine - This week... Up at half five. Eat with Hero, everyone works better on a full stomach. We don't have funds for them all to eat as they please. Then Corkey has leave to go check the Lorica. Cato will drill me until eight. Then we put Corkey on the electronics replying to our dark-net emails, Cato can guard Hero as he goes to town, which doubles as his free time. I read the new best sellers that came out until nine, slash replicate items for sale; then I weight train until quarter to the hour. Corkey will service the car. Cato will guard the perimeter. I will shower and then train with the armour. Whenever Corkey finishes he can scan for electronic surveillances and then take his own time. I will recall both in time for lunch to save them needing the sustenance. Fifteen minutes set aside for inevitable questioning of the schedule.
How do they want to die - After my mother. Make that soon after. Preferably when Scarrow and G.R.R. Martin have finished their series'.
What’s their favourite childhood memory - My father took me to a Summer camp. The camp was fun, but it was the fact that he did the driving that sticks. I'd say more, but there are passengers in my head listening. And it's private.
What’s their biggest fear and why - That Qyburn gives up on mum and just... leaves her to herself.
It’s 3 AM on December 20th. What are they doing - It's hard to plan that far ahead. I assume getting the necessary hours of bedrest.

GRINDING GEARS

The Easy Stuff:
Name - Hero Fleming. I picked the surname myself in honour of the great medical pioneer Alexander.
Age - I have lived thirty years in my own time and eight years in the modern day. Yet if age is a matter of the body - then nineteen.
Gender - Cis male.
Occupation - I was a physician in my own time, but I fear my experience has not transferred over to a 21st century equivalent. Knowledge does grow stale, alas.
Species - Human. Or as you term it - Homo Sapien.

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - Pasta alla Norma.
Favourite Restaurant - A talented cook and owner called Carmine ran an small Italian back home. Gene wouldn't go. He would have liked it.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - A good fleece, jog pants, and sturdy boots. Basically anything travel-wear. Having been across two continents wearing what we used to have - I can definitively say it makes all the difference.
Favourite Music - Give me something solemn. A choir or something pastoral. This techno revolution has gone too far.
Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - I wanted a bird. Gene didn't allow pets. He was worried his mum would get at them.
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Yeees. Hear that question too much. We didn't have half the tooth care products in the Medieval Sicily and we got on fine. Tooth-worm was primarily found in the lesser cleanly north.
Can they swim? - I learned.
Allergies - Not in this body, I'm glad to say. I believe it's a matter of genetics. Gene's, that is.
Weapon of choice - No thank you. Macro's tried to put too many in my hand. A scalpel will do.
Can they carry a tune - I've not got the ear for it.
What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - Something slow and sensible. I could never get the nerve to do some of the feats those rally or formula 1 racers achieve. I still concern that past certain speeds the human body - not adapt to such a thing - will develop flaws.
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - It's a little beyond me. But I do make the effort, unlike some I could name. Sets a good example. I like the search engines and their encyclopaedic wikis. Truly the new root of all knowledge.

Grinding Gears
What are in their pockets and why are they there - If I'm not wearing it, my cross for prayer. My compass clinometer - bit of a hobby. A modern thermometer. And skin patches, in case I need to tag a clone to help Gene.
How do they like their Sunday breakfast - Something light and plain. I'll forego spices and condiments. I'm no monk, but I make a effort.
What’s in their Wednesday morning routine - Try to wake up before Gene. Prepare breakfast, paying attention to the latest in nutritional science. I then like to research one of my many learning projects or instruct one of the clones on the ways of modernisation. There are always so many questions. And if they go unanswered they start to develop a melancholy humour. I understand well their difficulty.
How do they want to die - I think I'd like to go back to my own time. When the time was right. I don't see how that's possible. But it's a nice thought.
What’s their favourite childhood memory - Starting my first journey with Master Cosmas.
What’s their biggest fear and why - That I'll have to watch my friends die again. It's the one reason I forbid Richard to return.
It’s 3 AM on December 20th. What are they doing - Likely preparing the festivities that Gene will overlook. Christmas, I feel, is an occasion that transcends the barriers of time. Even the Romans grasp a little of what it is about. It may have morphed its customs since my day, but the same sentiments endure.

GRINDING GEARS

The Easy Stuff:
Name - Matthew Shardlake.
Age - Entering my forties.
Gender - Male.
Occupation - Once practicing Lawyer attached to the Court of Public Appeal.
Species - Human.

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - Apple crumble.
Favourite Restaurant - I fear Master Sutton has not found good purpose to allow us to peruse local dining establishments. Most present a good front, and I was able to stop at a Timothy Hortons the other day.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - Not that I can get a hold of it anymore, but my Sergeant's smock of the court is sorely missed.
Favourite Music - I've heard some piano pieces recently which is about all the 'modern' I can stand.
Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - I've never been one for pets. Dog, if I must choose. They provide security.
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Yes.
Can they swim? - Yes. I wouldn't be alive if I couldn't.
Allergies - New music. Phones.
Weapon of choice - The cane sword. I've had chance to practice now I've no... impediment holding me back. And the blacksmith was kind enough to make me one.
Can they carry a tune - I have to be in the mood for it.
What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - I'd just gotten used to the horse. Keep the metal beast far from me.
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - Little and less. Hero has shown me the use of computers in studying extant law. But I think the contraption just slows me down.

Grinding Gears
What are in their pockets and why are they there - Whatever Master Sutton puts there. It's a waste of time holding on to trinkets. They're never yours for long.
How do they like their Sunday breakfast - Eggs, a side of beef, tomatoes. Ale to wash it down.
What’s in their Wednesday morning routine - If I'm even allowed out on a Wednesday, I'll spend it how I want. Sutton would have me brush up on current law, but I'd need many more hours than he gives me for that. And at any rate, I'd rather do the physical things I missed out on previously due to my lifelong condition.
How do they want to die - I was shocked to hear there was still no consensus on the religious front regarding death (or much anything else). Thus, I hope I die suddenly, without time to reflect.
What’s their favourite childhood memory - My academic successes. It gave me a way forward in life that I was scared would not come.
What’s their biggest fear and why - That I missed something and this reality Master Sutton has thrown me into is really an afterlife. That he will forego his promises and enslave us for the rest of our days.
It’s 3 AM on December 20th. What are they doing - Blessed oblivion. The slave driver will rest.

Gender - Male.
Occupation - Centurion of the Second Praetorian cohort. Retired.
Species - What d'ya think?

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - Bit of bacon. Some grapes. The proper ones, mind you.
Favourite Restaurant - You can't beat an eatery in the capitol. Rome knows how to handle you.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - Centurion uniform. Legion issued.
Favourite Music - Acapella. Can't beat the male voice in unison.
Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - Dog. What use are the rest?
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Was never a regulation.
Can they swim? - Yes.
Allergies - No. It's comfy living which gives you them.
Weapon of choice - Gladius. Never understand why the world went off swords. They still do the job.
Can they carry a tune - Yup.

What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - Television. Radio. Seen those games consoles about. Like to try one of them. When our 'commanding officer' gives us leave.

What’s their biggest fear and why - That all this story nonsense is true. I know I existed. I was there. You can't write what I've been through. The kid's confused.

GRINDING GEARS

The Easy Stuff:
Name - Quintus Licinius Cato.
Age - Forties.
Gender - Male.
Occupation - Prefect of the second Praetorian cohort.
Species - Human.

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - Modern food's a little too rich. Give me something fresh. Without your preservatives.
Favourite Restaurant - Nothing lays out a table like they used to.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - I'm actually a fan of jeans and a long jacket. You need them with the climate and they have a better trim.
Favourite Music - Hero introduced me to the Beetles. Supposedly the best in all history. And I admit they hold up.
Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - Cat.
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Not every night.
Can they swim? - Yes.
Allergies - There was a spice.
Weapon of choice - Gladius. The longbow has been interesting to hear about, though.
Can they carry a tune - Absolutely not.
What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - If I had to, something with no roof. Gives a better feeling of control.
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - I can see the appeal of tv. Too much of an appeal. Them and phones have distracted the plebians.

Grinding Gears
What is in their pockets and why are they there - These days always a phone.
How do they like their Sunday breakfast - With family. Macro included. Hero's welcome.
What’s in their Wednesday morning routine - I've seen what's been planned for me. Hero usually lets me do what I want instead of acting as his bodyguard. I try to use the time to make sense of the world. Find a part of it that hasn't forgotten Rome's contributions. If I can, I read the Eagle Series. It's surreal. But I feel we have to. And Macro refuses.
How do they want to die - When I can be sure my son is safe and able to handle himself.
What’s their favourite childhood memory - Running down the corridors of the palace with the other children of servants.
What’s their biggest fear and why - That my being here means my son was left alone. Or worse, that he doesn't exist because some scribe didn't mean for him to.

Age - Nineteen. What I were before don't matter.
Gender - Male.
Occupation - How'd the song put it? Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate? Couldn't have said it better myself.
Species - French.

Making You Think:
Favourite Food - Caviar, cake- Or. Y'know. I'm content with the staples of necessity.
Favourite Restaurant - I'll say I ran a fine little Parisian in my time.
Favourite Outfit [brand name, colours, clothing type, store they bought them at, etc ] - I am a fan of the suits these Yanks wear nowadays. Less a fan of stores. You get a far better deal trading with individuals.

Cat, Dog, Bird, or Fish Person? - You get more meat off a mongrel.
Do they brush their teeth every night? - Naturally, naturally. My teeth are better than they've ever been.
Can they swim? - When you're up to your eyeballs in it, you swim.

Can they carry a tune - Hum me a few bars and I'll sing you anything.
What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - What did Gene call it? The Rolls Royce? That'll be me one day.
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) - What do you want? If I don't got it, I can have it by next Tuesday, say.

Grinding Gears
What is in their pockets and why are they there - Switchblades are very handy. But not subtle if you're caught. Try a sized piece of glass instead, wrapped in a rag. A length of rope too. You'll have to find the stone yourself.
How do they like their Sunday breakfast - With good company. Rich food, rich friends.
What’s in their Wednesday morning routine - I'm not wanted next Wednesday. But I'll be there. In the boy's head. Watching. One day he's gonna slip up. And I'll know how to get away. It's playing fair 'til then.
How do they want to die - Saw quite the lady in a magazine the other day. Under her and two of her good friends.
What’s their favourite childhood memory - Now you're going back. My childhood's a little... fuzzy. But I survived it, so it's of no consequence now.
What’s their biggest fear and why - That the little sh- Monsieur Sutton decides not to honour our agreement of amnesty. Unlike most of these cads, my story had a happy ending. Hate to miss out.
It’s 3 AM on December 20th. What are they doing - Scarpered. Taking in the largesse of future society. No Gendamerie brigade can police cities this big. Not enough boots.

What kind of car do they drive (or want to drive) - "Oooh. Hmm...Well, I don't really need to...It might be kinda fun to drive a aircar or hovercar though."
What electronics do they own (from Video Games, Computers, or TVs) -Hmm...Well, there's the tv in the Tower. It's not really mine, really, and I kinda had to be showed how to use it, but we do have that. There's also my mom's old system that I used to play on when I was back home.

How do they want to die - "I....I'd rather not think about that, if it's ok."

What’s their biggest fear and why - " Deep wa-water is a good...contender??? Yes, contender. But what I really fear is being lost again, or never being able to go back home. I've made some friends now, and there's a chance I'll be able to see my family, but losing those....I-it would hurt."
