Tower Sworn Interview
October 8, 2011
- Ajah Questions
- Why did you choose Gray?
For the environment. I liked mood of the ajah and how everyone was friendly and welcoming and not too serious but also serious when it's needed. Everyone is ready to help if they can and no one will judge you based on your decisions and tastes.
- Are you like the Grays in the books? Do you enjoy following politics and mediating disputes?
Only connection I see with books Grays is that I prefer to solve the fight by talking or avoid fight at all. Other than that I'm completely opposite. I hate politics and don't want ever to be part of it.
- Do you have a favorite Gray Ajah character from the novels?
Hmm, not really.
- Book Questions
- How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since early 2007 I think. I started reading books around a year before I found this forum.
- How did you first get into the series?
I was reading some book and I read short description about Wheel of Time in it and I taught it sounded interesting, but very fast I forgot about it. Then few months later I went to library to find something to read and I came across it and then I remembered I read about it earlier and decided to take it and read it.
- Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat and Rand I can say from last books.
- Favorite bad guy/gal?
None :look
- Favorite book and scene?
I can't say which book is my favorite, but for scene prolog of Eye of the World with Leus Therrin and when Rand stands on Dragon's Mountain and comes to realizations in 12th book.
- If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I see myself as Aes Sedai and probably White one.
- General Questions
- What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a student at the moment. I'm studying for Bachelor Degree in Interactive Design. I'm second year out of three. Other than that I don't do anything else at the moment. Maybe later I'll start some course if I have time.
- Do you have any hobbies?
If reading, gaming and being online counts then yes.
- What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Newer rock and metal mostly.
- What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Brave Heart, Day after tomorrow, Ice age, One Tree Hill, Death Note, Big Bang Theory.
- Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Song of ice and fire, Hyperion series, Stranger, His Dark Materials for example.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Teacher. I guess I still enjoy it but I don't really see myself doing that for whole my life. Maybe just as side job or something.]
