1. Is vengeance a driving force for your character? Why? How important is it to them? Decided to respond to this post to clarify that this is NOT part of Walter's identity even if one might assume it is. "I'm not a revenge guy, I'm a results guy." 2. Has your character committed/completed a major act of vengeance? If so, what did that mean to them? How long ago was it? Pre-barge, (over the course of season 2) Walter developed a connection with Misty Quigley and killed Kevyn Tan with the goal of framing him for Misty's crime(s). Although he didn't think highly of Kevyn for the threat Kevyn posted to the Wiskayok class of '96, this was a means to an end. On the barge, Walter developed the impression that Barge Misty (she's from season 1, these are separate verses) had been broken down by the barge cult to the point of not caring about her own freedom and happiness, and that attacking Arthur Lester would trigger her feelings. Even though this might seem like retaliation, ultimately it was once again a means to an end - he even believed he was acting efficiently in the degree of pain inflicted (even though he really wasn't...) 3. Has anyone ever sought/taken vengeance on your character? Was it deserved? How much did it impact them? Pre-barge, NO. On the barge, Walter was first subjected to a "magical simulation" of Arthur and John Doe's feelings about the above events, then slashed with a knife by Justine to draw blood intended to please John Doe. Walter firmly believes that John is a dark influence on her and is at best "lying to himself" about wanting retaliation against Walter. 4. Has any of the above happened on the barge? If so, where? Which people were involved? See above 5. Is there anything in particular you DON'T want Kahl to know about your character? If so, it will be chalked up to his partial barge nerfs. I'm currently like "whatever" about this. I don't really think the "secret group" (a small group of barge-negative friends) falls under Kahl's umbrella.
(P.S. why is the last one not number 6...)
5. Is your character inhuman, or do they have anything strange going on with the state of their spirit/soul? If so, can Kahl have a sense of what's up with that, even if he doesn't have the language from his own canon to understand it? Honestly, in my head, when Walter was bound to Trevor's ancestral knife which was part of him like a third hand, and then they didn't actually unbind it, there's still a phantom part of him, but this isn't a confirmed magical phenomenon. It's more like how he feels. He's a human inmate. ZzzZzzzz.
