Text; another poll

[alsohawkeye]

Hey everyone.

I'm sure some sort of demographics survey has been done in the past but I haven't seen one since I've been here and I'm curious. I've tried to keep it pretty basic. I know people are touchy about their privacy, and I know some aren't cool with being asked about special abilities/skills/powers/whatever, so obviously skip questions if you want to, no hard feelings. I'd rather just get name/age/planet than nothing at all, you know? Not like I'm going to hunt you down and force you to fill it out. But if you're willing to be more complete that'd be awesome and if there's something you think is important that I didn't include a field for, let me know.

Maybe there's a pattern here somewhere, maybe there's not, but at the very least it might be interesting or provide some useful data for department recruitment or something. Maybe you'll find some friends, whatever.

Thanks!

Name: Peter Quill
Age: 33
Species?: Complicated.
Place of birth: Colorado, USA, Earth.
Place you were just pre-TQ: On my ship, just leaving Earth.
Date of the last moment you remember pre-TQ: Beats me; keeping track of Earth time is hard. Might have been sometime in February or March 2014?
Last thing you remember: Having a little showdown with the Majestor Kallark of the Shi'ar and getting the X-Men back home.
Occupation pre-TQ: Star-Lord.
Special abilities: Good with weapons? I dunno. I'm built sturdier than most humans.

[postscriptum]

what kind of ship is that?

[starbuckslord]

Just your average starship.

[ Of course, he's being modest for once in his life. ]

Probably better tech than this clunker, but it's smaller. Meant just for my team, really.

[postscriptum]

Just a starship?

[starbuckslord]

"Just."

I take it you've been on better?

[postscriptum]

Yeah. Time machine and starship in one.

[starbuckslord]

Well aren't we fancy?

I've had enough experience with time travel and parallel universes to last a lifetime. Then again, I guess a ship like that's useful when you'd otherwise be stuck somewhere?

[newnova]

[Sam waffles back and forth on whether to reply as himself or as Nova, but eventually goes for himself, since that's who Peter knows him as as far as he knows.]

Oh man, you know the X-Men? Does that mean we're from the same universe?

[starbuckslord]

Possibly. There could be a lot of universes and timelines out there with X-Men. And I only did a little bit of work with them.

[newnova]

Oh. Right.

[starbuckslord]

What's the last big thing you remember from Earth? Maybe I can tell if it's the same one.

Know anything about Thanos invading or Attilan exploding?

[newnova]

[The last thing he remembers is flying home from the Wundagore Mountain. Buuuuut...]

Um... no? But again, middle of nowhere, arizona.

[starbuckslord]

Geeze, no news reports out in Middle-of-Nowhere? We're more alike than I thought.

[technologist]

How complicated is complicated, exactly?

[ This is super nosy. Whatever, survey says it's fair game. ]

[starbuckslord]

"Mommy was born on Earth and daddy fell out of space," complicated.

[ He'll just leave out who his father is, though. ]

[technologist]

[ Well, his first thought is of Asgardians, so at least that's charitable. ]

So very, very complicated, then. Any idea as to where in space?

[starbuckslord]

[ Sometimes he wishes, but he's not sure he could deal with the archaisms of the All-Tongue. ]

Spartax. Heart of the Spartoi Empire.

[ It's good he's not speaking, cause those words would come out with a touch of venom on them. ]

[technologist]

The residents of the Spartoi Empire wouldn't happen to look a bit like a de-shelled lobster, would they?

[starbuckslord]

[ Wow, that was a specific question, which required a specific answer. ]

You tell me.

[brassbucket]

Wait, *Majestor* Kallark?

[ Look, he hasn't actually caught up with the Shi'ar after he heard about the assassination of Lilandra. ]

[starbuckslord]

Oh, yeah.

Guess who's standing at the head of the Imperium now.

Kind of took to it like a jerk, though. Tried putting a teenage Jean Grey on trial for something she didn't even do yet. Or may not ever.

[brassbucket]

Better than the previous applicant, but that's even worse than putting Ronan in charge.

I can guess he's been a pain in your side. But there's a reason the name he's better known by is Gladiator.

[ Rich... has more things to say, or to ask, but he'll wait until they're talking face to face. Because, uh. Habits. ]

[starbuckslord]

Yeah, about that. Supremor's back in charge on Hala.

And only recently. But he's been getting in bed with my dad, so maybe he caught something.

[brassbucket]

Somehow, that doesn't read like a development you're thrilled with.

And, eww, Quill. Eww.

[starbuckslord]

Because the Supremor is in it with my dad too. Along with the Badoon and the Brood and who knows who else.

And this warlord orgy's trying to get Earth wiped off the face of the map.

[ Don't mind the horns. They're just there to hold up the halo. ]
