100 Questions for Vanessa Madison

[vanessa]

Mandatory Questions

1. What about you is heroic?
Heroic?.....Well...I wouldn't necessarily call anything about me heroic. I'm not some world protector or even some misguided so called anti-hero...I'm a cold blooded killer who enjoys what she does and makes a shit load of money while doing so.

2. What about you is social? What do you like about people?
Well, to be honest with you, social and liking people aren't really my thing. I'm a girl who enjoys her privacy and goes to extreme lengths to maintain said privacy. The closest I come to being social though would be the times I spend down at the local gin joint, enjoying time by myself.....

3. Of what benefit could you be to group you're currently affiliated with/intend to be affiliated with?
The benefit I serve to my current benefactors has been proven time after countless time. They spared no time nor amount of money in what they taught me.....in what they did to me. I've removed every stubborn obstacle in their path...either passively or in more......enjoyable ways, after all, those who sign my paychecks aren't really the sort to get their soft little hands dirty.

4. Why would/did you choose to join this group?
Ha! Like I ever really had a choice in getting stuck serving the Hellfire Club. Anyone who jumps at Sebastian or Emma's voice aren't really the ones who were asked to sign on any dotted line or promised some sort of grand future if they came over to their side of things. The thing that keeps me around is the money....and the small slim hope that one day Emma Frost will lose her favor with Sebastian and that I'll be given the first bid on her spoiled little life.

Personal Questions

5. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?
Real birth name?........The only one I've ever really known, at least for as long as I can remember is Vanessa Madison, those witches back at the orphanage gave it to me I guess considering my no good parents didn't stick around long enough to tell them.......Now...as far as 'used' names go, well, I've gone through plenty and come up with new ones every day. Vanessa, Alys, Emily.....but for my taken name....Mercy.

6. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?
Emma likes to refer to me as the 'Ungrateful Little Bitch' but then again, I have all sorts of 'pet' names for her as well. The name that my 'clients' know me by is Mercy....chosen because I find it funny. Mercy isn't something I'm really known for and anyone who has been to a crime scene involving me can verify that.

7. What do you look like?
Not very tall, around 5'5" or so, close to 115...120 lbs I think. I like to keep my hair long, no dyes unless I have to because dark fits me more perfectly. Mom or dad must have had those common traits as I got the dark eyes as well....gee thanks guys....at least you left me something to remember you by....Anyhow, dark makeup when I wear it, mostly eye shadow and lipstick only once in a blue moon.

8. How do you dress most of the time?
Casual clothes, you know, blue jeans, tee shirts (long sleeved), combat boots....mostly 'guy' clothes you could say...or as Emma keeps telling me. I like low rise jeans, tank tops, camo suits me well too you could say. I'm not really the sort for frills and lace, but sometimes you gotta do things you don't like.

9. How do you "dress up?"
I own a few dress suits, all thanks to Sebastian cause he doesn't like to have some 'street urchin' hanging around his socialite parties. He actually bought me some from Armani....not bad but not really comfortable either. Pin stripe is my favorite but I have plain black one or two.

10. How do you "dress down?"
Okay slick....here's the thing....when I answer, how about you listen. You asked how I normally dress.....Now with that said, did you not listen to how I talked about what I preferred? Casual...clothes? Sound familiar? Casual sounds like dressing down to me....how about you?

11. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
My my, moving on to some mighty risque and personal questions aren't we champ? You know, a lady wouldn't even dream of answering something like that....Good thing I'm not a lady then huh? ^^ Nude champ....I sleep in the nude....Was that what you wanted to hear....pervert? If you want to know what I sleep in....well, wish real hard and maybe you might get lucky enough to find out one day....I might leave my window open so you can peep in cause that's as close as someone like you is going to get.

12. Do you wear any jewelry?
Rare occasions, jewelry poses a major potential complication in tight situations. Rings can keep you from pulling a trigger as fast as you would like, a rope necklace can be very useful when choking, and earrings can lead to lost ears....none of which I wish happening to me.

13. In your opinion, what is your best feature?
My smile.....its the only thing that keeps my private demons at bay. Its a little crooked, but that only adds to its cuteness and trust me, it'll earn you more than one free drink in any bar in town.

14. What's your real birth date?
I don't really celebrate my birthday and for two reasons: 1) I could care less, after all, no one else has ever bothered to and 2) The 'rents never left any word of it when they tossed me on the trash cans behind the orphanage.

15. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?
I've got a place downtown, an old abandoned warehouse of some sorts. The main level is pretty dirty, after all that's where I keep the cares, but the top floor is neat and very well kept. Abigael pretty much beat all that tidy and cleaning crap habit into me....so...yeah...I guess that's just another part of her that sticks around in me. Its a large open room, a loft actually, decorated a la Abigael Winter's style, I just couldn't toss any of it out.....not sure why really. Got a lot of antiques and high priced junk in it, mostly reds and whites....her fav colors.

16. Do you own a car? Describe it.
Green El Camino....not in the best shape but she's mine...bought and paid for all in one go. I used to keep some old models around, Mustangs and what not but got tired of keeping them up so I sold them to Sebastian...he's a nut for American cars.

17. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?
Its a knife.....nothing high tech or special, just some average every day run of the mill knife, about five inches long, metallic handle....still sharp.....It was the last thing I ever gave Abigael......although not in the way she would have probably preferred....

18. What one word best describes you?
Selfish
