voidtreckerooc | Train Questionnaire

Thanks for participating but to protect my sanity, no more questionnaires will be accepted.

Welcome to the Voidtrecker. This is, for better or worse, a new world for all of us and we’re stuck here. In order to detect patterns in these abductions, get important safety information, and other important details for living in this community I’m conducting a survey. Please answer everything to the best of your ability. If you have any questions about the form please consult whoever is standing next to you other than me, because you should be intelligent enough to answer these very straight forward questions.

All information presented here will be kept strictly confidential and the purpose is to collect data.
Please fill it out and deliver it to me, Tony Stark. You'll most likely find me in my lab (aka, the quiet room that has a lock, a 'keep out' sign, and glass painted).

[ooc: Just fyi, Tony *will* comment on something about your answers when you hand in your answers IC. I've checked with the mod and these can count toward bonus threads, etc. Also, it's very common that people lie on these forms. Fill them out as your character would IC please.]

*** Update *** I've recruited a few more people to help with these so you all can get a response faster and spare my sanity. If you have a preference between Tony, Feanor, Ignis, and Gladio. This group might be referenced to as the Welcome Committee before too long.

Lea then.

[Gladio had stopped in front of the guy and then looked at the paper in his hand. He didn't think he was really good at asking these questions. This was, after all, Tony's department and he knew what he wanted to hear. Gladio was just winging it.]

You gave us a lot of info, don't think many do from what I know. But I was wondering if you'd tell me more about keyblades?

[Being a swordsman himself, the idea of a key doubling as a blade made no sense to him.]

How does it work? Do they have a sharpened edge?

Well, if you want the technical details of how Keyblades do what they do, I'm the wrong guy to ask. But basically, a Keyblade is less a straight-up weapon, and more a manifestation of the strength of the wielder's heart; that's why the Keyblade that each person summons by default looks different. The potential to wield a Keyblade can be given to someone by someone who already has one, but if the new person's heart isn't strong enough, they just won't be able to summon one.

And just to be clear, I'm not talking about the literal kind of heart that pumps blood. By 'heart' I mean the part of you that lets you feel things, connect with people, and basically makes you you instead of just a living body. A Keyblade draws its power from that, which is why it can do all the extra things it does, besides just being a weapon.

As to what they look like, that tends to vary a lot from one to another, like I said. Some look a lot closer to normal swords with sharp edges, while some just straight up look like giant keys. Most of them are somewhere in between. I could show you mine, if you want.
