New Team Orange Survey
This is a sort of fusion of Tony's Passenger IC Questionnaire with Eva's and Curufin's Orange Team Survey. The request is that all current Orange Team members fill it out, both old and new members. Please answer these questions IC.
Characters will find printed copies of this survey at the Orange Team meeting, and if anyone misses the meeting, they can get a copy from either Eva or Curufin.
Survey is below. At the top of the page, it says:
These surveys are for information gathering in an attempt to find commonalities amongst those of us on Orange. In the event we release any information (IE: Skills, species, median age etc), names will not be shared.
Please fill this in and hand it back to either Eva or Curufin.

no subject
Your name? Alex
Your species? Doll, of fox-eared human type
Your sex/gender you identify as? Female
What’s your birthday/ years you’ve been alive? 23
How many years is the average lifespan of your species? I'm the only artificially created sapient doll I know of. The others I know gained sapience after many years.
Year you’re from: 24 years after the sun was reborn after the old sun was killed.
How many months/days in a month in your world’s calendar? 30ish
What age is considered 'adult' in your culture? 18.
Technology:
What is the most advanced technological device in your world? Computers.
Is this train something new or are there trains like this in your world? One that goes through the Void? There're ships that sail to other worlds, but this is the first train I've heard of.
What is a common piece of technology you use regularly? Computer again, I have one I use for tracking storekeeping stuff. I also save doll ideas on it and play the occasional card game.
Are you skilled/ comfortable with using technology? Decently so.
Have you identified any objects here on the train you need or would like a tutorial on? Nah.
Magic/ Spiritual:
Does your world use magic? Yes
Do you use magic? Yes
What is it based on? There're all kinds of different magic, but I can do some fox-style illusion stuff and also make magical dolls. And while it doesn't count as magic because it's on a higher level than magic, I can bring out a power in a person I'm close enough to. It works with treasured objects too.
Common place or kept secret? It's no secret.
Are there gods worshiped or recognized where you are from? I guess? Some people worship the sun, and some people worship other beings too.
Are these gods beings of great power that one could meet or are they purely spiritual/ faith based? I've met the sun. Jasper's pretty nice. It was hard for her to adjust after her mother the previous sun died and she had to take up that role.
Is there anything that could be provided to you to assist in your religious practices on board? Nah, I'm fine.
Inventory:
What items were in your rucksack upon waking? Specifically, did anything come with you from your home world? If so, what was it? My doll-making tools.
Do you have items in your inventory that you have used to help with train projects or mission goals? Magical objects, weapons, communication devices, or any other useful items? Like I said, I can make magical dolls.
Medical
Do you have any medical conditions or issues that are being treated by a doctor? Based on my experience dolls don't have medical conditions.
Do you have any known allergies or special dietary needs? I can eat whatever. Only while I'm in my human form though.
Companions/World Events
Is there anyone from your world here? Were they here before you got here or arrived at the same time? No.
Has there been a war in your world recently? Were you involved in it? Unless you count the sun dying and the mess that resulted from that, apparently that was because of a war by the void against reality. That war's over, though.
Are there known threats to your city, country, world, galaxy, etc? Not particularly unless you count stuff like some of the Riders trying to end existence. But you know, that's just a thing they do.
What was happening when you were taken from your time and woke up on the train platform? I was working on my new doll body to transfer myself into.
What were some of the recent big events that have occurred before you woke? The sun dying is a very big one, given the havoc it wrecked on reality and the void. That happened before I was created, though. Other than that it's been mostly personal stuff. In school I did stuff like killing a wicked principal with my friends, getting my heart pulled out and turned into a monster temporarily, the usual kind of stuff that happens when you run with troublemakers. My life's been mostly more quiet lately, though I did win a prize for one of my dolls.
If you had not been taken at that point in time, would you still be alive? Yes.
Skills
What are your particular skills and abilities? Professional, technical, crafts, magical, physical, martial arts or weapons skills, etc.? List them below: I make dolls, both mundane and magical. And I have combat experience because of running with troublemakers back in school. I also know how to run a store.
How did you use these skills and abilities in your own world or other worlds before you came to the Voidtrecker Express? I got into fights as a kid, then as a adult mostly just worked as a professional dollmaker.
Do you have any skills you'd like to teach? I doubt anyone is interested in learning dollmaking. And my combat knowledge is pretty informal.
Do you know first aid or have healing abilities? I took a first aid course, but it was some time ago.
Do you belong to any group that is talented in particular skills or has any special talents or abilities? This group could be an ethnicity, a nationality, a family or clan. It could also be a profession, vocation, occupation, or career. The skills could be in craftsmanship, the arts, the sciences, the magic arts, or anything else you think might be useful. There's my family. We aren't foxes, but we're distantly descended from them and have some fox magic. Plus the dollmaking thing is a family tradition.
Have you been on any Voidtrecker missions yet? No. I was going to but then next thing I knew I was walking off the train platform and back on.
If so, did you use your skills or abilities to further the goals of the mission? N/A
How did you use them? Were you successful? N/A
Everything Else
Do you have ideas about how you'd like to contribute to missions in the future? Primarily I can contribute through the power I can grant to people and objects I treasure. Also illusion magic probably comes in handy now and then.
Would you like to receive training in skills you don't currently possess? If so, which? These can be any skills whatsoever that you think might be useful to the the team or to missions. My combat skills haven't been used often lately and are pretty informal in the first place. If I think of something else, I'll mention it.
