1. Hello, can you tell me where you are?
Well, of course, we're in my workshop... *currently pulling books down from a shelf*

2. Can you tell me your name?
*funny stare* Well, it's Leonardo da Vinci... unless you'd prefer to call me something else. *smile*

3. How old are you?
*sarcastic* How rude of you to ask a 22 their age. *frown*

4. If you had to describe yourself as though you were
talking about someone else, what would you say?
Hmmm... now that is an interesting question... how do others see me, and should I really bother with it? Can you help me with this?

Narr: *helps carry boxes of books into a TERRIBLY messy study*

5. How do you feel today?
Well, thank you, how are you feeling?

Narr: Well, thank you. *smile*

Now that is a sight we don't see often. *broad grin*

6. Are you doing anything important at the moment?
Well, yes, but you can ask me a few more questions if you'd like. I would be glad of your company.

7. Are you free to answer a few more questions?
*smile* I do believe so...

8. Are you slow to anger or easy to annoy?
I prefer not to get angry, but I find myself at a loss at how to deal with things at times. I'm young at heart, much like you.

9. How do you handle anger?
Not well! As you know, I throw things... a lot... *rubs back of neck nervously*

10. Is it alright if I ask some personal questions? For instance, about your family and home life?
Of course. I trust you enough to tell you anything, after all, if you tell anyone I can just as easily tell them about your double life. *joking, of course*

11. Do you have any family members?
A few estranged sisters and brothers... never really met any of them.

12. Could you name them and tell me what relation they are to you?
Well, let's see here... my father's name is Piero, my mother was named Caterina... I know she has married and had a few other children, but like I said, I've never really met them. I know one of my brothers is named after my father... *smile, shrug*

13. Do you own any pets?
*evil grin* Do interns count?

Narr: I do...

Then I have many pets! Muahaha!

14. How much power do you wield at home?
This is my home... it is nice to be able to say what goes here, but it is really my patrons who keep it running.

15. In the workplace?
Seeing as my home and my workplace are the same...

Narr: I get it... sorry for being repetitive...

*smile* Its no problem! I know you are an intelligent person, I won't look down on you.

Narr: Th-thanks. ^-^

16. In social situations?
Well, I can be a bit socially awkard, but I get by thanks to you and Agniolo...

Narr: Is that longing I hear in your voice? *koy smile*

^///^ Of course not you silly bambina!

Narr: Baby? *pout* Just because you're older...

17. What class are you, financially?
*laughs loudly* I haven't the slightest idea, I'm at the mercy of my patrons, not to metion I'm the bastard son of a peasant. If I have a true financial standing, I don't know it. XD


18. What color would you say your hair is?
Well... moreover brownish... light brown...

Narr: Leonardo, its blonde...

Well... maybe it is... *flitting from one thought to another... I mean... you can see it on his face... 0.o*

19. And your eyes?
Blue, crystal blue.

20. Would you say you have fair or tanned skin?
Haha, I have freckles, I have fair skin, I'm an odd looking Italian alright!

Narr: Aw, I think they give you character.

Some might argue I have enough character as it is, would I really need more?

Narr: Yes. ^o^

21. How tall are you?
Hmmm... *pulls narrator from chair and pulls her close*

Narr: ....?

About 5'10", seeing as you are 5'4" and your head comes to my nose. *continues squishing narrator for a little bit*

Narr: *squeal!!! Leo hugs for the win!!!... I mean... yesh... I mean... sorry world...*

22. Do you know how much you weigh?
Oh, quite enough to be able to lift heavy objects... then again when a certain someone is around, I have him do all the heavy labor. I kind of like to see him in action.

Narr: 0.o Agniolo? He's not very g-

N-no... ahahaha, not poor Agniolo... another of my... well... allies...

Narr: Ooooo!!!! Allies?

23. Would you call yourself muscular, thin, or fat?
Compared to some people I am fat, to others I am thin, and to a selevt few I am muscular.

Narr: *pokes him* I think your pretty muscly...

Then you are one of the select few.

24. Could you describe what you are wearing?
Well, lets see, a tunic, hose, boots, a doublet, and my belt...

25. Do you feel powerless in your life?
*deep thinking face* Maybe...

26. Do you think people admire you?
Well, many people do, but I'm not entirely sure if I share their feelings... *stares at narrator*

Narr: o///o W-well... I... I... well,

I understand, you aren't so sure either.

27. Do you admire anyone?
I admire many people! Mostly in a plutonic sense, but there are some people who I'd... well, I quite miss the company of... especially now...

Narr: I know how you feel.

28. Would you prefer to live a quite life or one filled with danger and adventure?
Oh, I'd like to live a quiet life... then again, I wish to really help the world, and that I imagine will get me into plenty of dangerous situations. Indeed it already has.

29. Would you consider yourself confrontational or passive?
Oh, I'm very passive. If there is one thing I am not, I am definitely not a man of violence.

30. What is your level of education?
My father put every penny he owned into my education.

Narr: Like Agniolo!

*nod* There is still so much in the world I've yet to understand, and some day I intend to at least unravel some of life's greatest mysteries... like the heart!

31. Are you happy with your life?
*smiles sweetly* I have good friends, passionate work, and peace and quiet when I need it, my life is good.

32. Can you describe the place you live?
Here, in the workshop. Its a lot nicer now that you've helped me clean it up.

Narr: You are welcome... this place was NASTY before I came here. ^^'

Well now, it wasn't THAT bad.

Narr: It was worse! *slight smile, mostly serious*

33. Are you optimistic or pessmistic?
I believe I am optimistic, therefor I am.

34. Do you have romantic interest in anyone?
*deep thought face again* Oh, well... yes... but I don't even know if he's alive right now... and Agniolo... I mean... .///. *slient*

Narr: Teehee, I know... Agniolo is very sweet... as for this other person... you believe them to be dead?

It is a difficult story to tell... and I don't think I'm at liberty to say.

35. Are you in a monogamous relationship with anyone?
^^' No silly! *whispers* Between me and you, I don't think the church would look to kindly upon the sort of people I'd want to marry. *hint hint*

36. Do you wish to marry one day?
Oh, if only the church would let me marry who I'd want. *slight giggle*


37. Do you want to have children?
Yes... but... I doubt that is possible... unless I find a woman willing... well... *stares at narrator* I know you would be, but I could never do that, you are too sweet a person. *smile*

Narr: Me? Sweet? Since when?! XD

38. If you could be an animal, what kind of animal would you be?
Well, I've heard people call me a lion, others call me a ram... I prefer to be human. ^^

39. Why?
Well, I like having aposable thumbs. *wiggles thumbs*

40. What are your worst habits?
Oh jeez... *pretends to fall over from heart attack* there are so many flaws... I think too much, sleep too much, or too little, I anger easily, I'm impatient, I can be selfish, and stubborn, and worst of all, I can push people I love away... which is why Agniolo is gone today... *sad face*

Narr: Oh, what happened Leo?

He was trying to help me figure out one of my blueprints for that hydraulic hammer(Narr Note: Yes, the 'hydraulic hammer' was actually invented in about the 14th century, Leonardo was trying to figure out to take the 'hydro' our of the equation) when I told him I didn't need his help... he knew I was struggling to balance the weight... I basically told him to piss off...

Narr: Oh... *pats Leo on the head*

*depressed*

41. What are your best qualities?
I'm told I'm strong, and people call me a genius... I however, beg to differ.

Narr: I don't know about genius, but I know you are brilliant. You at least consider the impossible where others don't even think on it.

42. What is your favorite place?
Outside, in the courtyard. I like to watch the birds fly.

43. What is your least favorite place?
Anywhere near the church, or Palazzo Vecchio... I get many rude gestures there.

44. What is your favorite color? It is alright to have more than one.
Color? Well, I like browns, gold, I also like blues, and purple is a very nice color. Hard to get a hold of, naturally.

45. Why?
They are vibrant and...

Narr: The color of Agniolo's eyes. *smile*

*nod*

46. Do you have any friends?
I have many good friends, including you.

Narr: Likewise, Leo. *hug*

47. What is your favorite food?
I love the fish stew you make... its so delicious, even with all the pepper you put in it.

Narr: ^^ Thanks, come on, let's go find him.

*stare* Wh-what? We can't just...

Narr: Who says we can't?

*follows*

48. What is your favorite drink?
I like sweet teas with fruit. *druels with the thought*

49. Can you name one thing you like to do?
I like to paint, it can be rather relaxing... when it isn't for an upcomming deadline. ^^'

Narr: *leading Leonardo to the courtyard*

50. Can you name something you don't like?
Cruelty... towards anything, especially something harmless like a child, or a bird.

51. If there was one thing about your LOOKS that you could change, what
would it be?
Well, I don't think my freckles give me character.

Narr: Me AND Agniolo beg to differ. *points to Agniolo who is sitting on a cart, staring at the sky*

52. If there was one thing about your PERSONALITY that you could change,
what would it be?
I wish I wasn't such a coward... *tries to walk away*

Narr: *grabs him* Oh no you don't, go talk to him. You know you didn't mean what you said, so just apologize to him.

53. What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?
When I met you two... and perhaps when I met another, you are all so kind to me... thank you. *pats narrator's shoulder*

54. What is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to you?
Oh, I've had plenty of things like that. I think the hardest time was when a few people found out I was... well, interested in men... I was almost killed.

Narr: I remember that... it was a very scary moment for us both.

55. What is the most important goal in your life?
To help the world become a better place, as much as possible.

56. What are you most afraid of?
I fear many things... but right now it is his reactions...

57. If you were to get in a fight with a strong wrestler, do you think you'd win?
Not at all, but I would prefer not to fight at all if it can be avoided.

58. Would you consider yourself impulsive?
Sometimes... right now I wish I could be impulsive...

59. What religion are you?
*laughs* I believe in love and life, just like you.

The final question:

60. Do you have any special powers or abilities?
None... I'm just an ordinary man... *breathes deep, goes to talk to Agniolo*

Narr: ^-^ They are so cute. Talk to you later Leo, good luck.
Hi there!

So this is Leonardo da Vinci. I write what I see, nothing more. So, what happened here is... well... it happened alright.
I was trying SOOO hard not to fangirl all over the place... I didn't do so good. :iconimsosorryplz:
For the record Agniolo IS NOT AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER!
He WAS a real person, and Leonardo's first assistant/lover. Records say he died of pneumonia when Leonardo was away in Venezia, but it was never really confirmed historically. However, Leonardo spoke of him often, and fondly in his scrabble. If indeed Agniolo did die, it must have hurt Leonardo deeply.

Sorry for the rant. Enjoy... or... y'know not. ^-^
