Ever since I was born - so to speak - I've had this... emptiness inside me and a burning desire to fill it. I used to think the answer to this problem was to fill it with just, simply "everything". If there's nothing left for me to want, I should be whole, shouldn't I? But I've come to think what I really want is freedom. I want to have my own life and my own possessions, without being just an extension of some stupid old man. And I don't want this just for a minute or anything. These are things I want to hold onto forever.
2. Has there ever been a time in your life when you questioned your motives or morals? If so, what was it?
Yeah, as annoying as it is to admit it. Thanks to that pain-in-the-ass prince. Like I said, I had thought that what I wanted everything in the world. Stealing Father's power would be a key to ruling and having everything, but the kid made me look at it another way. Instead of "possessions", I really wanted... "friends". This is a real pain to say out loud. Doesn't make the point less valid. When I look back at it, nothing really affected me more than losing those whom I considered to be poss- friends. And my set-up back at Dublith? I never really realized how close I was then to having everything I wanted.
3. What, in your opinion, is your greatest asset?
I'd answer with my Ultimate Shield, except that smartass kid has already shown me how easy it is to turn it into shit. I guess a better answer would be that I can take care of my own. If you want something that's mine, even if you can get through the Shield, you'll have to find it in my cold, dead ashes. And you'd have to kill me a hell of a lot to get me there. You can put that under "durability".
4. What is your greatest regret?
I killed the the last of my old possessions. Bido was a worm, but he was still one of my own, and he was the last living memory of my old days. Sure, I wasn't myself. That still doesn't change the fact that I killed my friend when he was just happy to see me. It felt like killing all of them at the same time, even if that's what brought my memories of them back.
5. Describe what you might call a good day.
It'd be a day spent with... subordinates, friends, whatever you want to call them. Something kinda quiet without any annoying mess, and it should involve me acquiring some new possessions. I may have realized that I really want friendship, but that doesn't make me not-want everything else I've ever wanted either. ...And the day has to end at a bar, too. A round of drinks can make a pretty damn good ending to the day. I don't like to fight for no reason, but a drunken bar brawl is one fun exception.
6. Do you ever wish you had a regular name? Seriously... who wants to be called Greed?
Not really. I don't see the point of "regular" names. I am what I am, after all. Why call me something other than that? And in the end, it's still my name. And anything's better than Greeling!
