Interview With a Fallen Angel

Tagged by,

The rules are simple...

1. Pick one of your favorite FC/OC's.
2. Ask a question and give an answer from their point of view.
3. Tag three people after posting it.

Of all my OC's with a complex background and personality, the least understood of all of them is Itariel. fav.me/d3dot1w --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What are your greatest achievements?

"Don't even get me started, I've lost count, so I'll just put it to you like this; the Dark Ages of Europe, the Bubonic Plague, the Holocaust, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the war in Vietnam, the Manson Family murders, 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the attack in Mumbai, the earthquake in Haiti, that tsunami that hit Japan last month, etc. But my greatest achievement hasn't happened yet, and that's the apocalypse."


2. Do you consider yourself good or evil?

"If you want my honest answer, I'm completely neutral, like death, I'm niether good nor evil. Without death the world would be out of balance, so I guess I'm good in a manner of speaking."


3. Who gave you your scythe?

"It was bestowed upon me by the Creator who gave me the task as the Harvester of Sorrow."


4. What's the one thing that upsets you about your job?

"Sometimes when I harvest the soul of someone who was murdered. I wish that it was their killer who died instead of the innocent one, I may be the Angel of Death but I have empathy too...The thing that bothers me the most though is when a child dies. A child has their whole life ahead of them, and for them to die young and never share the same experiences that older generations have really breaks my heart..."


5. If you were a mortal, what do you think you'd be?

"That's a good question, I'll have to think about that one. Hmmm, if I was mortal what would I be? I think I'd probably be a mortician, a funeral director, or I'd probably be a forensic anthropologist."

"Why?"

"Because death is the only thing that I'm familiar with, plain and simple."


6. Do you have any particular hobbies?

"Other than harvesting the souls of the deceased for them to be taken to their final judgement. Yeah, I'd say I do, I like crocheting and basket-weaving."

"Really? That's kind of an odd hobby for a fallen angel."

"Yes, really. What you think that because I'm the Angel of Death, I can't like basket-weaving?"

"I didn't say that."

"Well what, you think my other hobbies are death-related or something?"

"Well, kinda. It's just that you said..."

"Don't even go there Walter, on with the next question."


7. What kind of music do you like to listen to?

"Metal music, particulary Death Metal because of their dark, complex, and sometimes gruesome subjects...and anything that's dedicated to me. Like the song, Angel of Death, by Slayer for example."

"Wait a minute, how'd you know my name? I didn't tell you before the interview."

"Uhh, Walter. What part of 'Angel of Death' don't you understand? I literally know EVERYONE in the world by their first names, and their deepest secrets too. Like how you jack off to..."

"Alright, alright keep that shit to yourself."

"It's Rosie O'Donnell people."

"No it's not!"

*Itariel rolls off her chair with laughter* "Yes it is."

*Walter's face turns red with embarrassment* "Shut up!"

"Dude, she's got a fucking mustache!"

"At least she's got a human face!"

"Hey, I KNOW for a fact that I get more action than your lonely ass! That's why that photograph of Rosie O'Donnell is always in your wallet!"

"Can we just get on with the next question before I decide leave?!"

*Itariel continues to laugh* "Just ask the question."

"Okay, moving on!"


8. Do you have any advice you can to give to mortals?

"Uhh...stay in school and don't drink or do heavy drugs. And if you choose to drink, don't drive. Unless you're interested in meeting me and getting put in a box in the dirt. Otherwise, live your life to the fullest and make it as exciting as possible. After all, you only live once..."


9. Do you go by any other alias other than your name?

"Yeah, the Christians believe that my name is Sameal and that I'm a guy, I'm also known as 'The Harvestor of Sorrow,' some people who've seen me in the physical realm see me as the Mothman...but the one person who has me right so far is this pothead in Washington state who drew me after having a dream and also knows my nickname."

"What's your nickname?"

"You'll probably laugh if I told you, but to be fair I'll tell you anyway, I mean I DID reveal to everyone here that you choke your chicken to..."

"You've made your point, just tell me your nickname."

"Steve, my nickname is Steve."

*Walter laughs* "Really, Steve? How'd you get a nickname like that?"

"Ask the pothead in Washington state."

"Okay fair enough, next question."


10. Have you ever killed anyone that wasn't supposed to die?

"No, I only kill when it's their time. See, I don't exactly 'kill' the person, I just harvest their souls with my scythe which can be a very bloody process."


11. Can you explain what the purpose of a near-death experience is for?

"A near-death experience is reserved for those who's souls are lead by temptation, but they still have a chance to be saved. I show them what the world would be like without them, I review their past and add up how much bad they've done than good, I show them who will miss them and who won't and compare which side is greater. Once they have an epiphone, that's when I release them back into the physical realm to make things right for the sake of themselves. Sometimes an innocent person will have one but it's a LOT more different than how a bad person would experience it."


12. How often do you brush your teeth?

"Is that really a question or are you just fucking with me?

"Yes, it's an actual question, just answer it so we can wrap this up, I got a very busy schedule."

"I don't know, probably about five times per week, I don't brush my teeth every day like those health-concious assholes who say it's manditory to do. Because I myself have a busy schedule so I don't really waste my free-time brushing my teeth."


13. Do you ever have days off?

"Yeah, on the holidays. Usually someone else will just volunteer to fill in for me when I'm having my days off."


14. What do you do on your free-time?

"Usually I just kick back on my couch, drink some beer, and watch movies all day."


15. What was your most embarrassing moment?

*Itariel blushes*

"Angels are perfect beings, we don't have embarrassing moments, that's a mortal thing."

"Really, I find that hard to believe."

"Okay, there was this one time I found myself in this fiasco in the physical realm when I was in human form. I ended up smoking a cigarette someone gave me but they didn't tell me that it was dipped in PCP, which lead to me freaking out and getting chased by the police. I resisted arrest, I got tazed and pepper-sprayed, I even got shot with a beanbag gun and ended up being on an episode of Cops. It was bad enough that I was getting laughed at by mortals but it was worse when I found out my friends were watching that episode the night I got arrested, apparently it was a live feat."


16. What pisses you off the most?

"A lot of things piss me off, especially people who uses words like 'happens to be.' And I know you've met people like that too. For example, 'He happens to be Black,' like it's a fucking crime or something. 'Oh, and did he have two Black parents?' 'Indeed he does.' 'And they had sex?' 'Indeed they did.' So where's the surprise? Like I wouldn't be more surprised if he 'happened' to be Italian. Or people who use the word 'openly' like 'he's openly gay' for example. And that's the only thing they'll ever use it for too. You don't see them using it for anything else like, 'he's openly wierd,' or 'he's openly goth,' or something like that. Let me give you a few examples for how we can use the word 'openly.' Dave Chappelle is openly Black, and Homer Simpson is openly dumb, and Colin Powell is openly White, he just happens to be Black. Now I'm just getting carried away, ask me another question."

*Walter laughs* "Wow, I can't believe you just said that!"


17. What is Heaven and Hell like?

"Sorry, I'm not obligated to tell you that. It's aganist article 41 of 'The Angelic Rules of Order.' Never give out unwanted information on the afterlife to mortals until after their death."

"Okay, sorry I asked."

"It's all good, you didn't know. If it was up to me I'd tell you everything, but it's just our policy, you understand?"

"Yeah, I get it. Anyway next question."


18. Do you have any enemies?

"Not really, I mean unless you count the angels that don't like me very much. Other than that, no, i don't have any enemies."

"How come some of the angels don't like you?"

"It's a VERY long story Walter, you'd be fossilized remains propped up in a museum by the time I'd finish telling you."

19. Of all mortal who do you want most to be dead?

"Osama Bin Laden because he's cheated death too many times, George W. Bush because I always hated him, child molesters for obvious reasons, the French because they're a bunch of douchebags, and Paris Hilton because her spoiled-rotten stupidity really pisses me off."

"I couldn't agree more, anyway last question."


20. If there was one thing you could change about yourself what would it be?

"If there was one thing I could change about myself, I think it would be my wings. When i was young, other angels used to make fun of me because my wings were black and I was the only angel born with the face and tail of a wolf, that doesn't bother me as much anymore though because I learned that I was a rare case, and that the Creator made me for his own divine purpose, so now that I think about it, I'm proud of who I am and wouldn't change anything about me."
