[[OOC: Ahem, language warning! Toni likes to swear!]]


Mandatory Questions


1. What about you is heroic?

I took a bullet for crowd. Straight to the head I did. Do you realize how much that hurts? Hurts like my head got sat on by Canada. I'm heroic because I can sit there an take a bullet for a bunch of strangers. Actually, there was no sitting involved. Swearing? Oh yes, lots of that.

2. What about you is social? What do you like about people?

Me = nuts. Matty has even told me so. I've got this Andy Dick thing going on in my head that comes up with some greeeaat ice breakers. And what do I like about people? I love jokes, in case you haven't been able to tell yet. Tell me a good joke, or better still, pull a great prank and you'll be in my good books in a flash.

3. Of what benefit could you be to group you're currently affiliated with/intend to be affiliated with?

I'm a good resource at the Institute 'cause I'm the Chem prof. The kiddies wouldn't learn anything remotely science-like if it wasn't for me. I also bring my sense of humor (grins). The X-Men though...oh baby, can't wait to get myself out there with them. What'd I bring them? A lot of destroyed stuff. I may not look like it, but I'm a one woman destruction crew.

4. Why would/did you choose to join this group?

Who the hell doesn't wanna join the group? It's the fuckin' X-men, dude. We've got these awesome powers, so why not use'em? But I don't wanna go up against Mags....I don't think I'd come out of that in one piece....

Personal Questions


5. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?

(sigh) Do I have to? Fine... Antonia Benton Craft. Har har, laugh it up. I loathe my real name, Toni's so much more fitting. And yes, Toni is what I go by.

6. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?

John, way back when, came up with my code-name. It's rather appropriate, if I do say so myself. Fortress. Gotta nice ring to it, don't it? Fortress...say it with me. Fortress. Fortress. Fortress.......Chimichanga. Chimichanga. ChimichangaChimichanga....

7. What do you look like?

I'm tall for a chick. I mean I'm on the verge of being freakishly tall, but I'm still nowhere near Matty's height. Anyways, I'm 6'1''. I've got this cool, soft, long red hair that was originally brown. I'd go into the specifics on how it changed color, but I'm sure you'd get bored. What else....hmmmm....whenever I smile, and I mean really smile, I get this Joker-crossed-with-Julia-Roberts thing going on. I should have a fuckin' warning label for the bloody thing. Oh, and I'm stronger than I look, I guarantee you that.

8. How do you dress most of the time?

Just like every other schmo here...'Cept for 'Ro. She just goes nuts with her wardrobe. I like casual. Jeans and a t-shirt usually do it for me.

9. How do you "dress up?"

Though I hate it so, I've got a business suit. Makes me look all snazy and shit, by it's soooo uncomfortable.

10. How do you "dress down?"

I go naked. Seriously. Okay fine, I usually run around the mansion in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

11. What do you wear when you go to sleep?

PJs, just like everyone else. That's right, I watch you while you sleep.

12. Do you wear any jewelry?

I've gots me a diver's watch. It's big. It's clunky. But damn if it doesn't tell good time.

My size, baby! I'm fuckin' huge compared to other chicks, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

September 25th, 1985. I'm a true child of the eighties.

15. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?

My family home's in Dover, New Jersey. S'a little hick town really. Don't let Matty tell you anything different. It's nice though. Like a quiet and calm pond, and I'm that giant mofo for a rock that got chucked into it.

16. Do you own a car? Describe it.

I might as well. I'm the only one that drives the Datsun in the garage. 'Ro should just give it to me for my birthday.

17. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?

My old diver's mask has a nice, cozy little place next to my Happy Meal toy collection. I like it cause I used to like to go swimming a lot. Don't do it so much any more; water's bad more my complexion, if you get what I mean.

18. What one word best describes you?

Matty calls me 'erratic.' 'Spose that's true. I like to think of myself as a female version of Andy Dick, but then I realize that Andy's got no equal. He's just too nuts...even for me.

[Toni Craft]

Familial Questions


19. What was your family like?

We're a quiet bunch...or at least, we were. When I went and gained all this weight, it really threw off the nice neat balance within the family. But I didn't get weird until University. Anyways, don't let me ramble like that. Yeah, family's cool.

20. Who was your father, and what was he like?

Jacob Gregory Craft. He's big, he's friendly, he's a total geek, and he's the source of Matty's and mine tall genes. Thanks Dad! He's a zoologist for some big firm somewhere and he loves to garden. That's about all I can sum up about him.

21. Who was your mother, and what was she like?

How shall I compare her to a summer's day...no wait, that's not how that goes... Anyways, Mom. Alessa Rachele Cianfaglione. She kept her last name when she married my old man, but Matty and I both use Craft 'cause it's much easier to sign. She's Italian and has a huge Italian family. Ummm...cop, ex-marine, yada yada yada.

22. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married?

Oh they're still married. Have been for 25 years almost, despite my mom drivin' Dad nuts all the time.

23. What were your siblings names? What were they like?

Matty! Ah, wee little Matty. What a sweety that kid is. Okay, so he's not little. He's got something like ten inches on me. He's inhumanly tall for being a little 15 year-old, but I suppose that's because he's not human...Mutant baby! Just like his older sister! The kid's a music nut and can play any instrument you hand him. He's wierd like that. He's also a walkin' nuclear missile, which prompted me to give him the name Warhead. S'nice don'tcha think?

24. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings?

Lemme guess, you asked Matty this and he said the time I biffed a wad of ice at his head, huh? Thought so. Yeah, I suppose that'd be the worst. What'd he do to me? He's this huge cork in the wine bottle known as my personal life. He's always in there snooping out my boyfriends and what not. The kid's way too overprotective.

25. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now?

End o'August if I do believe correctly. It was a wee bit of a summer break for Matty and I.

26. Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them?

Oh, don't get me started on Mom's family. oi ve... Take something like 97 Italians and 300 bottles of wine, blend together and bake for 50 minutes until toasty brown on the outside. That's my mom's family.

Dad's family? Let me summarize it for you: take 500 aspirin and call no one in the morning.

35. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it?

Authority? Are you kidding? Look at who you're talking to. I'm the one that let Flame-boy Johnny into the Mansion to watch some movies, just for the hell of it. I let the kiddies get away with everything; blowing out the drain, the toilet, the counter-tops...s'all about experimentation right?

36. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with?

I was a dork. I was so shy and reserved in high school. I didn't fit in well with anyone. Thank god for university, cause then I got to bring out the real me.

I wanted to blow the damn place up. But I didn't. I graduated instead.

Bein' stuck in said hospital after I went all 'GIVE ME IRON NOW!!!'

[Toni Craft]

Occupational Questions


41. Do you have a job? What is it? Do you like it? If no job, where does your money come from?

I'm the Chem prof. I love it with all me heart.

42. What is your boss or employer like? (Or publisher, or agent, or whatever.)

'Ro's cool. Lets me blow shit up all the time. She didn't like the toilet incident so much though...

43. What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with?

The other profs are cool. I don't talk to them very much though, I seem to gt along better with the kiddies.

44. What is something you had to learn that you hated?

How to get used to teachin' on my own. Before Alkali, it was me and Jean, so things were a lot easier. And don't get me wrong, I may not look like I'm not enjoying it, but it's been really tough since Jean went all Pheonix-y on us. Class has gotten harder to handle, the kiddies are restless, but me thinks we're getting back on track.

45. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why?

I like spendin' my money on me and other people. It's great fun that way.

[Toni Craft]

Likes & Dislikes Questions

Mixin' chemicals to see what happens. Readin'. I love military-esque action books, but no Tom Clancy. The guy's a pussy if you ask me. I much more of a Matthew Reilly and James Rollins person myself.

47. Who is your closest mundane friend? Describe them and how you relate to them.

Right now? That'd be Caine. But he's more like my mentor than anything else. He's a mutant, I'm a mutant. We get along great.

48. Who is your worst mundane enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along.

My worst enemy? I don't really have any enemies. But if I had to choose...it'd be Mags. The old guy could scrap me down in 0.237 seconds without breakin' a sweat.

I like that singer chick...what's her name? Pink? She's cool. Reminds me of myself.

5.0 What tape or CD hasn't left your player since your purchased it? Why?

I don't have a CD player, I download everything I listen to. My mom keeps thinking the FBI is gonna come arrest me for pirating stuff.

51. What song is "your song?" Why?

Oh please, it changes constantly. Right now it's "Never Let Go" by Bryan Adams. Tomorrow it'll be the theme from Galaxy Quest or something.

Godzilla! The American version. That's a funny movie, and you get to watch a big critter blow the hell out of New York. Can't get any better than that.

53. Read any good books? What were they?

Ice Station, by Matthew Reilly. Oh baby! It's got it all. Hot guys, radioactive seals, mutant killer whales, exploding heads and as much violence as physically possible, all stuffed into a 300+ page book.

House MD. It seems to be the one show that Matty and I are addicted to. That House guy, he's my kind of doctor! ....Sorry Caine.

Ahem, DEATH TO GEORGE BUSH! That's all I'm going to say about politics.

I like movies. The movie theatre knows me by name now, that's how often they see me.

High class locations that represent our idiotic capitalist society. So what? Starbucks? Actually...no, that can't be right...I was just there last week. But you get my idea...right?

58. What annoys you more than anything else?

People underestimating me. I'm big and I'm stronger than I appear. I had one guy challenge me....in something, I can't remember. Then he started making cracks about how bad he would beat me...so when he wasn't looking, I flipped over his truck.

59. What would be the perfect gift for you?

I'm not big into material gifts, but I love techie gadgets. I've been wanted one of those camera phones...soooo pretty...

60. What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?

When I was twelve, we went on a family trip to Miami. We got to go scuba diving out on one of the reefs in the Keys. There were hundreds of fish bobbin' around. The funny thing was...after we were done, we went back to the hotel, and half of those fishies were on platters.

61. What time of day is your favorite?

Whenever it's dark out. Makes stalking so much easier. I'm kidding, of course....or am I?

Thunder and lightnin'. You have no idea how much easier it is to scare the kiddies when it's just a rumblin' away out there.

63. What is your favorite food? What is your least favorite food?

Mom's home cookin. You can't beat it! Least favourite? Anything association with curry. Yuck.

64. What is your favorite drink? (Coffee, Coke, Juice, Beer, Wine, etc.)

Oh, Logan and I get along great 'cause we're both big fans of beer. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we've talked about over a beer.

65. What's your favorite animal? Why?

Carcharodon Megolodon. One huge mutherfuckin' great white shark. The muscle of the sea, baby! I've always wanted one as a pet.

That'd be the retired dog at home, Dutch. The 'sheppard used to be a cop dog, but broke a leg three years ago, so we adopted him.

67. What do you find most relaxing? (Not as in stress relief, but as something that actually calms you down.)

Me? Stressed? Are you kidding? I'm the Queen of Cool.

68. What habit that others have annoys you most?

No respect for the sciences. Everyone sits back and goes "Science sucks." Bull shit. It's great fun.

69. What kind of things embarrass you? Why?

Me? Embarrassed? Are you kidding? To reiterate, I'm the Queen of Cool.

70. What don't you like about yourself?

Do I honestly have to weigh 500lbs? Really though, it's a pain in the ass. Ever seen someone go through a pair of sneakers in less than a month?

71. How would you like to look?

I'd like to be taller, but that said, I'm scary enough as it is right now.

Sex and Intimacy Questions


72. Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why?

I'm as straight as a pin. Learned in biology class that homosexuality is more or less a genetic factor, so I'll blame my heterosexuality on that.

72. Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go?

Me? Have sex? With Matty scoping out the boyfriends all the time? Yeah right. I'm the 21 year-old virgin. Look at me go.

74. Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go?

A girl in my intro Chemistry class always liked to hit on me. I was flattered but eventually she understood that I don't bat for her team.

75. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it?

It involves a giant pink bunny suit and a bucket of blueberry pie filling...Yeah, I'll stop there.

76. What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen?

Oh ho ho...don't let Matty see this if you plan on waking up tomorrow. Wildest thing? Or the farthest I've ever gotten? That'd have to be pretty much oral sex with the only boyfriend that lasted longer than a month. I was 18 at the time, I think, and an inexperienced idiot. (laughs)

77. Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it?

None that I can think of, cause usually sexual activity requires two or more people. There's just me right now.

78. Is there any sexual activity that you will not, under any circumstances, do?

I'm really open minded...I mean, a pink bunny suit? Hell yeah. If I can do that, I can pretty much do anything.

79. Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?

No, no lover for me. I'm a teacher here at the Mansion, which means all the good catches are off limits. Too bad, that Peter Rasputin is totally ripe. Meow.

80. What is the perfect romantic date?

I'm not much for romantics, but I expect to be lavished in the most expensive gifts available....I'm joking. No really, I am.

81. Describe the perfect romantic partner for you.

I'd like someone as witty as me, but something tells me that I'm going to end up with someone like my dad. Cool, calm, reserved and completely and utterly whipped.

82. Do you ever want to get married and have children? When do you see this happening?

Sure, I want kids. The regular 2.4 kids when I'm about 30 or so. Mutant kids'd be cool too, if only to see what they can do. Knowing my luck, I'll end up with a magnet kid like Mags.

83. What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why?

...I'm at the point in my life where the hormones are ragin' and the only coherent thought is 'SEX!"

84. What was your most recent relationship like? Who was it with? (Does not need to be sexual, merely romantic.)

That was with a fellow Chem student named Jordan. He's a sweetie, but has no balls to speak of. Matty interrogated him and he broke up with me two days later. All in all, the relationship lasted three weeks. (sigh)

85. What's the worst thing you've done to someone you loved?

I blew them off to go drinking...and it was our 1 week anniversary too.

Drug & Alcohol Questions


86. How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like? Did anything good come out of it? Did anything bad come out of it?

I can't get drunk. It's something to do with the iron in my body; nullifies the alcohol or something like that. It kind of sucks. But when I was 13, we had a big Italian get-together and I had a few too many glasses of wine. Suddenly everything got really funny.....now that I think about it, the way I am now is exactly the way I was then, after I'd been drinking. I wonder if that means anything.


87. Do you drink on any kind of regular basis?

I love my beer, even if it doesn't do anything. So yeah, I drink it once every couple of days or so.

88. What kind of alcohol do you prefer?

Beer is my favorite, but wine is the family norm.

89. Have you ever tried any other kind of "mood altering" substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each?

Nah, mom's a cop, so we never got away with anything like that. Besides, I think that the drugs'd react the same way as the alcohol.

90. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not?

Just as long as people know the risks, they're more than welcome to fuck up their lives with them.

[Toni Craft]

Morality Questions


91. What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?

Ashamed? I make a lot of rude comments that I usually can't stop. I usually end up making people feel crummy after I'm done. Proud? I was able to keep my 500lb mutant ass a secret from the neighbors for something like six years. I think that's worth a mention.

92. Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won?

Oh yeah, I'm in one all the time with Matty. And I always win. Always. Poor kid couldn't argue his way out of a soggy paper bag.

93. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won?

That'd be the time my powers first went all wacko. Couple o'thugs came at me with a gun. Got one of them down in a matter of seconds, but the other shot me in the head. Knocked me out, but I was fine. Cops caught the guy later.

94. What do you feel most strongly about?

Education. I know some kids suck at academic stuff but they can make a mean chair. Let the kiddies do what they're good at. Don't force them into something they just really can't do. That's why I don't mind it when the kiddies don't come to class.

95. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people?

This whole 'mutants can live peacefully with humans' thing. I dunno really. Maybe Mags has the right idea. Not that I believe in his methods, but maybe it understands this situation better than most of us.

96. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?

Humor is great for one's health. Everyone should engage in laughter at least once a day. I find that enarly everyone has a sense of humor. Everyone expect....my two cousins that are in the mafia. They don't laugh, they just insist on making offers that people can't refuse.

97. Is there anything you think should not be incorporated into the media or art (sex, violence, greed, etc.,)? If so, what and why, and if not, why not?

Ha! Right! I live for it all, baby! Put it all on there.

98. Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you?

I've learned to ignore all my disturbing thoughts, especially that funny bunny that keeps telling me to kill people....(grins)

99. What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own?

Meh, to everyone their own. Do what ever the hell you want to, as long as you don't a: Kill, torture, or inhibit anyone, and b: Force you're religion on anyone else. If you do either, I'm gonna start gouging eyes out and stuff. Oh by the way, evolution rules man!

100. Do you think the future is hopeful? Why?

I honestly don't know. My idea of a hopeful future is admittedly skewed. Chicken pot pies for everyone!

101. Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?

Absolutely. The cure'd kill me, that's why. My body'd 'turn human' and then what I'd do with all the iron? I'd be crushed like a spider under 'Ro's shoe. So yeah, prevention all the way!

102. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why?

Smothered in chocloate sauce then slowly licked off....by a giraffe! Muahahah!

103. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated?

I'd be inclined to break some bones...or tear down their house...or smash their nice brand-new, I-haven't-even-gotten-my-insurance-yet car.

104. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why?

Leader. I've always jumped out to take the initiative. Matter of fact, I'm often heard screaming 'Let's blow the shit of something!' then leading my loyal follows off to a valiant battle.

105. What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that?

To spread the noble word of science! And to eat lots and lots of twinkies.

106. Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself?

No. Hell no! Once evil, always evil dammit!

107. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?

No, it's not okay for me to cry. I've got an image to maintain y'know. Last time I cried was...I think I was eight?

108. What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall?

There's not enough insanity in the world. More insanity for everyone!

Post-Supernatural Awareness Questions


109. When did you go through whatever made you supernatural? What was it like (in your opinion)?

I was 14 when my body went haywire and I started having this mad craving for iron...And it sucked. Royally. I got stuck in the hospital for a couple of months cause my body hadn't adjusted yet. My muscles were iron, but my bones weren't so they were highly susceptible to breaking. I found that out the hard way by trying to stand up. There was lots of rehab and other stuff, but that was actually pretty quick.

110. What do you think now of being supernatural? Is it cool, or have you been screwed?

It's fuckin' awesome! Makes yard work a breeze, 'specially when I can juggle concrete blocks like they're made of styrofoam. And I can 'read' metals. Well, not so much that I know exactly what it is right away, but I can feel the density and molecular weight of it, so with a bit of research, I can figure out what it is. But I digress. This metal reading thingy got me interested in chemistry, so that's cool too.

111. Do you have a mentor? Who are they? How did you become their student?

Mentor? Caine, for sure. Knows a lot about mutants, which is cool. I think he wants me to be a doctor like him, but screw that! I wanna be a teacher!

112. Think of a major event that happened during your training/initiation. What was it?

I realized that I'm bullet proof, even when I'm not all armory. That was a cool day, but then I got cocky and found out that I may be bullet proof, but I sure as hell ain't invincible. Armor piercing rounds hurt like hell, y'know that?

113. What is something you had to learn during your training that you hated? Why did you hate it?

Why would I hate any of it? It was awesome! That, and I got to look at Pete's butt in those tight leather pants. Oh baby that kid's got one fine ass...

[Toni Craft]

Miscellaneous Questions


114. What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that's scarier than that? What do you think that would be?

I found out real quick after the whole iron incident that I can't swim. In fact, I sink like a fuckin' rock. Straight to the bottom I go. S'not fun by any means. Is there anything scarier? Hell if I know. It's huge world out there, there's bound to be something.

115. Has anyone or anything you've ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened?

My dad's mom, Grammy Craft, died a while back. That was pretty hard on Dad's family, specially Granppy Craft. It's probably the saddest event that I can remember. Ever since then, my dad's family has crumbled apart, which sucks. And Granppy's as hard as brick now. He'd none too fond of Matty and I now that he knows we're mutants, but if Grammy was still here, she'd be cool with it.

116. What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen?

Remember when I mentioned the fact that my muscles were iron long before my bones? Yeah? Well, I stood up, thinking everything was fine, and crunch! Talk about you're strings of curses. Broke both fibulas in about two seconds. two places in my right leg, five in the left. I'm surprised I'm still fine. Thought I'd have a nasty limp for the rest of my life. 'Spose I'm lucky.

117. How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?

Not ticklish at all. Matty's the ticklish one.

118. What is your current long term goal?

To be a teacher with a proper degree. Maybe here at the Mansion, maybe not. I suppose it's still too early to tell.

119. What is your current short term goal?

To make sure that Matty passes high school.

120. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?

Foot-in-mouth disease. I saw a lot of stuff that I don't think about first. I gotta fix that, but how do you do that when you're mouth is running 7.54367 miles ahead of your brain?

121. If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time?

If I didn't weigh half a ton? I dunno. Reading metal got me into the sciences...without it I'd probably still be interested in English. Who knows maybe I would have ended up an English teacher.

122. What time period do you wish you had lived in? Why? (Looking at this as an attempt to change history doesn't count.) What appeals to you about this era?

The time of Einstein! The guy is my hero! Always has been, always will. He knew more about the sciences than I could ever hope to learn.

123. How private of a person are you? Why?

I'm not that private. I let everyone know what's going on in my head! But sometimes I take the odd breather and get away from it all.

124. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?

I've always wanted a Hummer. Not one of them prissy new Hummers. I want one of the older military ones. They're fuckin' amazing!

125. What would you wish for if you found a genie?

A Hummer!

126. What do you do when you are bored?

I read...or fiddle with chemicals...or theorize the kiddies' mutations. That last one's always fun!

127. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening?

When I broke my legs real bad, I thought I was never gonna walk again. That scared the shit out of me.
