Years roleplaying: 19 (I started late)
Least favourite character?: That DSA woodelf I played two or three times. I thought I'd challenge myself and play an elf but it didn't work out.
Male or female characters?: Male.
Oldest character played: what do you mean? First character or the oldest character by age or the character I've been playing the longest? First character was a DSA dwarf whose name I can't remember (it was a rubbish campaign, anyway), the oldest by age will have Balthasar von Rabenstein, my Cam Tremere and the one I played for the longest was either Borgam, DSA dwarf priest or Alucard, my Cam Malk.
Newest character?: Rupert Bulmer, my CoC gentleman of leisure

Which character of yours would be most likely to... Jump off a bridge?: Either Fitzpan, my DSA Schelm (Prankster) or Rupert
Get drunk and pass out?: Fitzpan again
Kill somebody in a very unorthodox way?: Again Fitzpan but he wouldn't kill and choose to humiliate instead
Be far too hyper for their own good?: Fitzpan yet again
Be raped?: I don't think any
Get lost and refuse to ask for directions?: None, I think.
Get lung cancer?: Either Rupert or Borgam
Star in a horror movie?: Alucard looked like Christopher Lee in Dracula...
Star in a whore movie?: Fitzpan ;o)
Star in a video game?: Either Slash (Shadowrun Dwarf Rocker) or Lenscap (SLA Industries Stormer)
Make the world a better place?: Believe it or not, Alucard. Even Sam was too self-absorbed.
Have a torrid gay love affair?: Fitzpan again

Relate each word to a character of yours:
Love: Sam Willikins, Cam Boggan, without a single doubt.
Hate: Borgon, Dwarf Nethermancer in crispy3ed's Earthdawn campaign
Money: Rupert. He just happens to have money but isn't really greedy
Seduction: -
Lies: My Cam Squirrel Pooka
Tragedy: Sam again
Manipulation: I'm bad at this sort of thing so probably none
Violence: Lenscap
Politics: Alucard, funnily enough but more or less because he was forced to after becoming Prince
Fire: -
Ice: -

Would you ever...
Play a prostitute?: Probably
Play a musician?: Have done, Dwarf Rocker in Shadowrun and Toreador Sax player in Vampire 2nd Ed
Play a pilot?: Like a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar (would do if I a SciFi campaign came along)
Play a homosexual?: Would be interesting but to be honest, I wouldn't feel confident enough not to portray a stereotype
Play a pedophile?: Not as a PC.
Play a politician?: Would be very difficult for me so no.
Create a character for the sole purpose of smut?: In the right kind of game, and most like only for a one-off. Stuff like this gets boring rather quickly.
Play a character who commits incest?: Depends, most likely not

Brief Bio your characters...
(assuming currently active ones)
Rupert Bulmer: Educated, idle rich gentleman, parents died and left estate to him, travelled the world seeking adventure to forget (missing the Great War in the process), always accompanied by his trusty (and now possibly late) valet and good friend Dunbar
Lenscap: Stormer cameraman (Media Package), providing Squad BZN's battle footage

DSA?

Das Schwarze Auge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Schwarze_Auge), one of the two classic German RPGs (the other being Midgard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midgard_(role-playing_game))), the systems Germans usually start out with (like D&D for Americans and Brits).
The Dark Eye itself is a very rare magical artifact, a meteor iron ball for divination, a bit like a Palantir (the exact properties vary from model to model). There are only a handful in the game world.

I vaguely remember the name. Never seen a copy though.

I don't think I've ever seen it outside Germany, although there is an English version of 4th ed.

Years roleplaying: 29. Bloody Hell. 29.
Least favourite character?: Probably Mhj Mnkqkli, a character in a game I was so uninterested in I actually rolled his name randomly with dice against the alphabet.
Male or female characters?: Male.
Oldest character played: The character I've played longest would be Pisso, my cleric of Dionysius, who was created in 1987 and still pops up from time to time. the oldest character I know of (still in play) is Lumbo, my brother's theif, who he created as 1st ed D&D in 1979 and still plays.
Newest character?: Brother Peter, head of the OCSL in Southwark Cam. Shows how often I play or create characters these days.

Which character of yours would be most likely to... Jump off a bridge?: Karl de Cruyce, Follower of Set, in one of his angstier moments.
Get drunk and pass out?: Pisso. The clue is in the name. He's the high priest of Dionysius, so getting hammered and falling over is a religoius sacrament. And he owns a pub.
Kill somebody in a very unorthodox way?: leo Giovanni, who once ran someone over with a mobile rocket launcher system.
Be far too hyper for their own good?: Stephano, my Scrappy-doo Sidhe.
Be raped?: Karl de Cryce. He did hang out with Iscariot a lot.
Get lost and refuse to ask for directions?: Kashi-Ninka the monk, whose last words were "Excuse me, do you know the way to - argh!"
Get lung cancer?: Pisso, were it not for the fact that he can cast Heal.
Star in a horror movie?: Karl de Cruyce. He'd've loved to have been a film star.
Star in a whore movie?: Barry the Orc, my shadowrun Orc who had a simsense rig implanted and made his own series of porno movies.
Star in a video game?: Barry the orc again, whose company, Baztechnology, was briefly the world's premier technology and entertainment conglomerate.
Make the world a better place?: Follower of Set genuinely believed he was doing so, a lot of the time.
Have a torrid gay love affair?: Follower of Set, who would do anything.

Relate each word to a character of yours:
Love: Clarke Savage, who fell in in love with the Prince of Portsmouth but never got the courage to tell her.
Hate: Leo Giovanni, who was badly bullied at school and had never had a girlfriend, and was going to make the world pay, oh yes.
Money: Jon Donson, my shadowrun Elf yuppie, who was killed when he refused to break off a call to his broker to engage in a firefight.
Seduction: Jon Cummins, my D&D rogue, if 'hiring prostitutes who look like other player charcaters' counts as seduction.
Lies: Follower of Set.
Tragedy: Ged Bowkett, my dwarf crossbow salesman who still lived with his mum at the age of 150. He went mad after his mum died on her birthday.
Manipulation: Follower. of. Set.
Violence: Barry the Orc, whose arsenal comprised of a rotary cannon, a cricket bat and 20 cucumbers.
Politics: Jack brown, Harpy and Keeper of Alysium.
Fire: Mustapha Jihad, my brother's Arab fire wizard.
Ice: Jon Cummins, who is currently stuck in a cage in the ice-cave of a white dragon.

Would you ever...
Play a prostitute?: Definitely.
Play a musician?: Yes.
Play a pilot?: Played one in Star Wars.
Play a homosexual?: So long as people didn't mind flamboyantly camp.
Play a pedophile?: Probably not.
Play a politician?: Do I ever do anything else, really?
Create a character for the sole purpose of smut?: Do I ever do anything else, really?
Play a character who commits incest?: Probably not. Except possibly Ged Bowkett, whose obsession with his mother was profoundly disturbing.
