1) How do others make you feel? Do you like being the center of attention or bring left alone; is there such thing as a stranger to you or do you even know what it's like to have a friend? Things like that.
Walt tries to be friendly with everyone. The New God is a generous and benevolent deity whose tenants include the phrase, “do unto others as you would want them to do unto you”. Walt is not above buying a round of drinks for the pub or helping a down-and-out citizen with a helping hand…he has been there himself and knows what it is like. A gregarious fellow, Walt like a lively party, but will not go out of his way to go to one and would never ever think of overindulging…as this is wasteful and there are so many people in the world who need help.
2) Name one thing you value most. Then name one thing you could lose. These could be ideals, physical possessions, relationships, etc.
Walt values his finding of the New God as his most precious possession. Walt was a bitter man who life had not treated very kindly. Born a beggar, he slowly rose up from the squalid streets to a position of some respect as a watchman. He was lucky(?) to have married into a family who was comfortable in their finances and thus allowed him free time to try and discover something which would make his empty life seem worth living. It was his belief in the New God that brought him to life, and his pilgrimage to the holy sites of the church only made his conviction to the religion stronger. Because of this, all his material gains mean very little to him. He would give the shirt off his back to help someone down on their luck without a second thought.
3) What do you fear? What do you hate?
Walter fears losing his faith and to become cursed to a hellish afterlife. He hates people who hoard or covet money over people.
4) What do you desire? What do you love?
Secretly, Walter wants to join the church and spend his days in the adulation of his god. He thought that he loved his wife, but after years of his travelling on pilgrimage, they have grown far apart, and Walt knows that this is mostly his fault. He would like to free her from her vows to him and would love to see her happy once more.
5) You have (at least) one secret. What is it?
Walters greatest secret was from his time as a patrolman. He took money from an organized band of criminals to allow them to rob certain homes and businesses. This was where he made most of his fortune, and since finding the New God, this sin has weighed very heavily on his soul. If he does enter the clergy, he intends to give most of his wealth to the church, leaving enough for his wife to live in comfort.
6) Have you done something Notable? What was it?
Walt has yet to do anything he feels in notable, but he has, over the years, been an advocate for the poor and downtrodden. He used some of his money to start a local soup kitchen that helps feed the beggars of the city. He does this in secret, as he feels this is part of his penance for those things he did as a young man.
7) Are you in charge or do you let others take that role? Do you rebuke authority or revel in it?
As a youth, Walter rebelled against all authority. He was an angry young man who lashed out at anyone and everyone. It was not until he was caught stealing by old Sgt. Powel that he realized the error of his ways. Sgt. Powell showed him the harm he was doing to others and that the watch was there to protect all people. He and the sergeant became friends that day, and it was Sgt. Powell who sponsored him into the city watch. It was during his time with the watch that he quickly grew disenchanted with the law and order authority supposedly championed. He saw the inequality among the people, as well as in the watch itself. It was not until he started going to the Church of the New God did his faith in people begin to return to him.
8) Do you follow through on your promises and obligations? Or do you delay or avoid? Do you feel guilty when you don't uphold them?
While it was not always his way, Walter is now an honest man who honours his commitments and he does feel guilt when he shirks a duty of avoids an obligation.
9) What are your opinions on Good and Evil? Do they exist? Or is it all shades of Grey? Where do you see yourself?
Walter has seen too much not to believe in evil and good. He himself has strayed into the realms of each of these concepts but now strives to be good in all his dealings.
