Question of the Day (Day 41): Truth VS Hope
Major plot twists can affect your character's will directly, such as the revelation that the major villain they've been conspiring to defeat all along is actually a long lost family member. These traumatic pieces of information can have the most profound effect on your character's very being. Would your character rather have this information at hand or live ignorantly in bliss?

Question of the Day (Day 40): Rituals
Characters often times will have a set of rituals they follow. While not necessarily religious in origin, these rituals could include a methodical way to clean their weapons, a special prayer over a fallen foe, pausing to remember someone or something on a specific anniversary, or simply a tradition they feel brings them luck.
Does your character have a ritual they follow? How did it start? Why does it continue?

Question of the Day (Day 38:) What's in a Name?
When creating a character, one of most surprisingly time-consuming parts is often picking the character's name. A character's name s a sort of ambassador to the character, it introduces them to the world and can give a little snippet of their personality.
Sometimes the name is chosen by the character, sometimes it is assigned by a caregiver or authority figure, but it almost always has some sort of meaning to the player (even if it is chosen simply as a pun or because it sounds cool.)
To the character themselves, it my not have any particular symbolism or meaning, but what does your character's name mean for the character?

Question of the Day (Day 37): Ascension
Your character has suddenly been promoted in rank to one of, if not the highest, ranking of an organization. Perhaps they have become ruler of an empire or highest ranking official of a company. They have been entrusted with a great amount of power and responsibility. How does your character feel about accepting this newfound position?

Question of the Day (Day 36): Crypt
So what would your character do if they found themselves stuck in a crypt of some sort? You know, catacombs, tombs, etc. How would they react if there seemed to be no way out? Have they experienced such fear before? What was it like?
