This is an internet survey as it would have been filled out by Corran Horn. This originated on alt.fan.wedge, and was done only for fun. If anyone thinks I'm profiting from this, or that I own this character, they are severely mistaken. Oh, yeah, Lucasfilm owns him, just in case you'd forgotten. Do not repost anywhere without the permission of the author!
NAME: Corran Horn
NICKNAMES: Scourge of the Skies, (Booster sticks his head in and says, "CorSec." Corran ignores him.) Jedi Pilot, Death Incarnate (Gavin, walking by, interjects, "Co-creator of the Ego Powered Shields") and, I guess the Yuuzhan Vong call me jeedai, but don't they call all Jedi that? (Mirax walks in, grins wickedly, and yells, "Super Sexy Studmuffin!" before running hurriedly away. Corran glares, then sighs.)
SEX: Preferably often, and probably tonight, from the sound of that. (Corran grins.)
LIVING ARRANGEMENT: Well, our home has been moving around the past few years or so, but it's more or less wherever Mirax and I end up. Sometimes our kids live with us, too. (An annoyed tootle pipes up.) And, of course, who could ever forget Whistler? (Whistler lets out a satisfied beep.)
HEIGHT: Haven't measured it lately, but I'm vertically challenged. ("He's a shrimp!" yells Booster.)
EYES: Green
HAIR: Brown, with a little more gray in it than I want to think about.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?: Cops although, with all the organic technology stuff going on in the galaxy lately, I've been watching a lot of Babylon 5 lately. Thought maybe that would give us some hints on how to defeat the Vong.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?: I have one of those leftover Episode One mouse pads with Anakin Skywalker on it. What a cute little kid. Really makes one think when one looks at it, you know?
FAVORITE MAGAZINE: The issue of CorSec Quarterly where my dad was on the cover for bringing in Booster Terrik. (Corran turns around and shouts in the direction of the bridge, "And don't even bother looking for it, Booster, because you're never gonna find it!" Booster shouts back, "Oh, yeah, wanna make a bet, CorSec?")
FAVORITE SMELL: Napalm in the morning. Sorry, don't know where that came from. Uh, probably the smell of my wife's hair when she's in my arms.
FAVORITE COLOR: Green.
WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Knowing that someone has died because you failed. Like the day my dad died. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I remember it well. My dad said we were going to go on this easy stakeout...(Corran spends the next two hours relating his father's death, and has to be stopped before going on about Ithor.)
BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: That one's tough. I guess it's a tie between when Mirax said she'd marry me and the first time I ever fully opened myself up to the Force. There are not words to describe either experience.
THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS: Spend time with my family, come up with another way to annoy Booster, go for a cruise in the X-wing, practice my Jedi training, go out to a cantina with the Rogues, go fight some bad guys, should I go on?
FAVORITE MUSIC: The Corellian Security Force Academy's graduation theme song. It brings back such good memories. It was one of the best days of my life. My father and grandfather were both there, you know. And they were both beaming with pride. It's a day I remember fondly, and everytime I hear that song, it makes me remember the look of pride on their faces.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING?: Mirax and how lucky I was to be married to her.
DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS?: I'm a pilot in Rogue Squadron. What do you think?
ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING?: After flying in an X-wing, a roller coaster can only be looked upon as boring. They do have a tendency to break down and claim lives, so I'd say they're more deadly than exciting, at least to me.
PEN OR PENCIL?: Pen. Pencils fade too easily. If my grandfather Nejaa had used pencil, I probably wouldn't have been able to make out most of his old writings.
HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?: Well, we don't have anything so primitive as a phone, but I answer the comlink on one ring, if possible. Being both in CorSec and in the NR military, you just don't put off answering your comlink. People can die if you waste time answering.
FAVORITE FOODS: Freshly cooked ryschcate that I hope Mirax is making tonight.
DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS?: My parents are both dead, but I got along with them very well, especially my father. He and I were especially close. Why, I can tell you...(Corran spends the next hour telling stories about his dad, with barely anything thrown in about his mother. Before he is allowed to go on for the rest of the day, Mirax strolls him, gives him a jab in the ribs, and reminds him that I probably have other things to do but listen to stories about people twenty years dead.)
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME: Have I ever been brought to trial and sentenced? Not in that particular sense. What have I been accused of? Let's see...murdering and vivisecting six smugglers while in CorSec, being a Rebel, I've been accused by Booster for my father sending him to Kessel, let's see, what else? It's a long list, but I'm sure you know the latest charge that's been leveled against me, the whole Ithor thing and all that. I'd really rather not go into that, though.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?: Tough choice. Chocolate's the color of my true love's hair, while vanilla makes me think of her smooth, creamy skin. ("Corran!" Mirax yells, a warning note in her voice.) Uh, anyway, I guess I'd have to go with chocolate. Doesn't everyone?)
DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE?: Drive, no. Bores me. Fly, yes.
DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS?: No, but my daughter does.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Not really into the whole animal scene, but I'm sure we'll have one someday. One of the kids will probably want one. Although if we stay on the Errant Venture, they'd have to get it okayed with Booster, and I'm not sure if he'd let an animal on board.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE?: Never gave thought to that one. Whatever animal best symbolizes wisdom and calm, but yet is not afraid to act when it needs to.
THUNDERSTORMS, COOL OR SCARY?: Cool to watch, scary to fly through. Flying through a thunderstorm was almost my undoing once.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE?: Meet? I guess it'd be Nejaa Halcyon, my biological grandfather. There's so much I'd love to ask him.
FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Whyren's Reserve, although there're some pretty good brands of Lomin Ale out there.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?: Pisces
EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?: Broccoli? What's that?
GUYS-WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR SHIRT FOR A GIRL?: Depends on the girl. Someone like Iceheart, no way. Sane, normal women? Yes.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: What's left? I've already been a CorSec officer, a pilot in Rogue Squadron, and a Jedi Knight. I guess, right now, what I would want is to become stronger in the Force and more knowledgeable both of the Force and myself. In short, to improve myself as a Jedi Knight and be the best I can possibly be.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: I've already dyed it every color imaginable. I like it best its natural color, but if it has to be dyed, then blond.
IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE?: I never want a tattoo. Not into body mutilation and pain.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?: Been in? I still am.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: I've already had two weddings. If I were to have a third, with the same bride, of course, then I'd like to have one like Luke and Mara's Jedi wedding. We never had a Jedi ceremony, and although adaptations would have to be made since Mirax isn't Force-sensitive, I'd still like to have one as close to what they had as possible.
WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?: Whatever Mirax has put there this week. She's the interior decorator, not me.
IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?: The answer changes daily. Today it's half full, but yesterday it was half empty.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE?: Huh? Is that a new species? Or is that one of those Pokemon things my son's been playing with?
ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS?: Righty, primarily, although I've had to learn to be somewhat ambidextrous because of job concerns.
DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?: I try not to type. That's what Whistler's here for. (Corran ignores Whistler's indignant beep.)
WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?: Wouldn't you like to know?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?: Twelve. That means that no one died on a mission today.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?: I never owned a car. I had a landspeeder, and now an X-wing.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR?: One that handles and flies just like an X-wing. Skip that, I'll just keep the X-Wing.
FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Believe it or not, swoop racing's kind of fun to watch.
SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: He's the perfect choice to take over for Rogue Squadron, but I have to ask. Don't you have anything better to do than send out these sorts of things, Colonel?
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: Booster, just to spite me.
