Endeavor

[The Sailor]

Hey there, Endeavor here. I'm going through some changes in terms of what I'll be posting online, so I'll just start with an old post of what I had tossed up when I first started out.
 

Oh! someone sent me this... looks interesting enough. I think I'll answer these.

1. Where are you from?
I was born in Minneapolis Minnesota, but I've never really set roots. I've been to London, Tokyo, Sydney, Los Angeles, and now here in Freedom City.

2. How would you physically describe yourself? Is this different from how others would?
Well I see myself as pretty average, might be slightly shorter than an average person, then there is the pink hair. I think people would see me as sort of cute, I think.

3. Do you have distinguishing speech characteristics or recurring mannerisms?
Some people I've known say I speak English in a British accent. A sort of Londoner tone. Must be from the fact I spent 6 of my young years in London I suppose. And those years were in a formative phase of my early childhood.

4. What is your motivation?
To apply my genuis for the greater good. Isn't that what Science is for, to improve the human condition?

5. What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
Not sure if I want to reveal this... outside from the obvious fact I'm a tinkerer and gadget-maker, so all my toys are my "powers". Otherwise I'm just like you or any other John Q. Public.

6. What do you love? What do you hate?
I so love flying, of any type, actually. I actually have taken up skydiving as a hobby. Just fly up to the proper height, enter free-fall and PHWOOMP! Glide like a leaf on the wind! I do hate swimming though. Never was good at it.

7. How would you describe your mental and emotional state?
I think I'm pretty stable...  I'm not your typical mad scientist if that is what you're asking.

8. What does you fear the most?

It used to be drowning. Gave me nightmares some nights. I think it comes from when I almost drowned when I thought a frozen pond was solid ground and I tried to cross it. It's a bit different now... I really, really hate the thought of being spaced... the idea of being in hard vacuum with no protection is... a new issue in my head.

 

9. What is your greatest ambition?
I want to be like my Mom. Her suit is an amazing piece of work, and I hope my Exploration Suit can match her achievements with the E-Suit.

10. How does you feel about the state of the world and his/her place in it?
It's a rough place. One that needs heroes all the time. Why I'm glad I'm embarking on this path. There will be no lack of finding something to improve in the world.

11. Does your hero have any prejudices? How does he/she get along with others?
I get along with people fine, although I hate people who are willfully ignorant. Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it, and those who push away knowledge are sometimes someone I just don't respect.

12. Where do your loyalties lie? In what order?
The Citizenry, My Family, My Friends, My School. Although I don't think this is a fair question as I hold all these in equal stature.

13. Do you have a lover or partner? How do they feel about you now?
Umm... This is pretty personal... I'm single right now.

14. Does your hero have a family? What is the relationship there like?
Oh my family is awesome! My Dad, Hikaru is the CEO of Hinocorp, and is the former superhero Tetsuryu. A really cool powersuit if you've ever seen one. Although I'm not a fan of the armored hero look... a bit too master chief for my taste. As for my mom, Mikoto, she's the former Ensign Minneapolis. She has this really cool suit like mine, and I even put the sailor collar design that my Mom's suit has and incorporated it into mine!

We're really close, and my Grandfather is really cool too. He's a bit moody though.

But to be honest we're one big happy family!
 

15. How would the people closest to you describe him or her?
I would think everyone would see me as energetic and curious.

16. Are you a role model?

I lead by example, I don't want a cult of personality following me around.

 

17. How spiritual are you? Do you follow a relgious tradition?
My Mom's Catholic, my Dad and Grandfather follow Shinto, Me... Well I've been looking into Tenrikyo, although I think I won't settle on any one thing. Luckily my parents have let me discover my "inner truth" on my own.

18. Are you part of a team, or would he/she like to be? Why?
No, but I would love to be. I think I would do great being support for the team, as long as I'm not treated like the IT girl. Know what I mean? But I really do love helping others.

19. How do you feel about the place of metahumans and aliens on Earth?

We're all people in the end. Powered, Alien, Spirit, Robot... we all have different origins and reasons for being. And yes, I do believe in Aliens... Drake's Equation states it perfectly clear there's many intelligent species in our Galaxy, and an innumerable count in the observable universe. So... I believe.

 

20. If you could give one piece of advice to your self, what would it be?
Don't give up, no matter the stakes. Superheroes don't give up.
