CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE

These are questions to help you get into your characters persona and head space. Answer as you imagine your character would. If your character wouldnt answer a question, or wouldnt take it seriously, still indicate that in the characters voice. (i.e. for one character, the deeper into his head I got, the more disgusted he became with these questions; for a question like Have you ever hated anyone, his answer was something like, Have I ever How about you? Am I allowed to hate you? Write that on your little questionnaire.)
