> 1. What is the first character you remember creating?
Either Batman or Indiana Jones (waaaaaay before Adventurers came about).
> 2. Of your current characters, which did you build first? Last?
First: Prince Fast, leader of my elves/Forestmen.
Last: Major Domo, military strategist to the King.
> 3. Do you have clear “good” and “bad” characters, or is it all relative?
Mainly well-defined, with a few "shades-of-grey" characters for good measure
(noble thieves, mercenaries, and the like).
> 4. Have you ever built a MOC specifically for a pre-existing character?
My characters are always made long before I build any MOC's for them (in
fact, my current figs have been around for a good few years now, and I still
haven't gotten around to making a castle for them!).
> 5. How many custom (non-standard assembly) castle figs do you have? How
> many have some bit of a background, or a personality?
If you mean "custom" in the sense of "not found in any official set", then
all of them (200ish)! My only "custom" figure in the "took a knife to a
brick" sense is my executioner, Carn, whose hood is a wingless Batlord
helmet. Around 50% of my characters have backgrounds, the rest being generic
soldiers.
> 6. Which Castle subtheme has the best figs?
Fright Knights (not counting Witches, of course!).
> 7. Is there a type of fig you find easy to make? A type you find difficult?
Easy: soldiers.
Difficult: Wizards that don't all look alike.
> 8. Have you ever bought a set just for the figs?
All the time.
> 9. Which non-Castle theme is the best source of Castle compatible figs?
Tie between Star Wars and Pirates.
> 10. Is making a background and/or personality for a fig something you find
> simple, or challenging?
Simple, really, although I confess that *original* characters are hard to
come by; most of my figures' histories are ripped off / amalgamated from
assorted fantasy novels, films, and comics.

| Hi everybody. :-) I thought it would be fun to have a mini-fig survey. I had two different things in mind for this survey, so I used two different terms to better express what I was asking. A “character” is a fig that you have given a name, a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
