SPECIAL ABILITIES: natural aptitude for mechanica piloting and also for playing the vinka, a kind of small recorder-flute. writes usually light airy tunes that are quite popular around the palace. MAGICAL/NON-NORMAL POWERS: not terribly gifted magically, can pull off a few Water spells but is otherwise dependent more on his physical gifts; does, however, share a telepathic/empathic bond with his twin brother ------------- MISCELLANEOUS ------------- FAVORITE COLOR: sky blue FAVORITE BOOK: Utnor's Histories - the history of Zanorre as set down by Utnor, who wrote events in a not-entirely-uninteresting manner, without embellishing or overdramatizing. The only history of Zanorre that does not have a secondary use as an antidote for insomnia. FAVORITE TV SHOW: Zanorre does not have television FAVORITE MOVIE: Zanorre does not have motion pictures; Quin's favorite play is Mithra, a sort of comedy of errors set in the Revolt. He and Herig and Ilexia have been known to act out scenes of it for the private interest of themselves and their families. FAVORITE FOOD: wild duck, the Queen's cinnamon rolls FAVORITE ANIMAL: royalcats FAVORITE FLOWER/PLANT: roses, which don't grow on Joth; Ilexia has some in her room at all times. (in fact, his fondness for the flower may be simply because of his association of it with Ilexia) FAVORITE NUMBER: 2 FAVORITE PASTTIMES: playing with Muzko, talking with Ilexia, exploring the forests around the palace environs, occasionally gambles, but never loses more than he can afford to (and has a lucky streak at dice that is unbelievable)
