Well, then.

RP Meme B for Felix
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for? Felix, obviously enough, would prefer to do neither. Or, at least, he doesn't want to kill anything intelligent. If he felt it was the best, least-destructive way to keep his world saved, though, I imagine he would kill. Likewise, if he had good reason to believe that his sacrifice would do more for his world's safety than staying alive would, he'd die willingly. I suspect he'd also be willing to die if it would bring Sheba back from the dead, which would utterly defeat the point of that, so let's keep that from coming up, shall we?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why? There are a few really obvious answers here - rape, torture, and so on - but there are two other things that very nearly make the list. First, Felix is utterly dead-set on keeping his word as long as it's in his power. Second, and tying in with his preference for not killing, it would take extreme provocation for him to substantially reduce someone else's free will. One of his main mantras is "There is always a choice", so he's not going to prevent anyone from having choices available if he can help it.
3. What do they dream about? I don't entirely know. I know, when he was younger, he used to have nightmares about falling. Those stopped when he was conscious on a ship for the first time. Being thousands of yards - sometimes more - from solid ground in any direction meant that he lost all fear of lesser heights, and thus falling dreams. I have a vague idea that apples often figure into the dreams he does have, but I don't know how or why.
4. What's their biggest fear? Losing his remaining friends and family.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why? The Sol Blade. I don't actually know why; I've said as much in narration. Part of it, I know, has to do with the way I handle equipment in the game. A bigger part is echoes and resonances from a crack miniplot I did way back in early '06, but I don't think even that is the whole story.
6. What is their fondest memory? I don't know for sure. There are a number of contenders, including the first time Sheba kissed him, when he found out Jenna was still alive, when Jenna first accepted his explanation of the situation, and when Vale ended up not being destroyed.
7. What is their worst memory? That, contrariwise, is easy. It's when he found out Sheba had died. All along he clung to the belief that somehow she'd get better, and then he'd ask her to marry him, and they'd have a wonderful life from then on. Then that shattered, and he took a long time to put himself back together. He's still not done with that, really, but he's better than he was.
8. What or who was/were their most significant influence? Expound I know it sounds odd, but I don't know. Part of that is because there are no historical figures mentioned, and part of it is that I've posited a general apathy as one of the effects of the Seal on Alchemy.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life? I don't think Felix has thought about it. He's not really satisfied with his life - see answer 7 - but I don't think he'd be entirely satisfied even if he'd gotten what he wanted.
10. What makes them laugh? Um. Things that strike him as funny? I don't really know how to specify it further.
11. What are their religious views? According to Brain's tagging system, Felix is listed as "vaguely agnostic". There was a time - shortly after 7 - that he was looking for something more, but the apathy I mentioned in 8 had only recently ended, so there was a lot of confusion and no definite answers.
12. What is their greatest strength? Oh, I don't like this kind of gradation question. He's smart, he's fairly strong, he's determined... I guess I'd say his persistence is his greatest strength.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it? Yes. It stems from the same source - his earth affinity. Felix's fatal flaw is that, when his world is turned upside down, he has no better response than panic.
14. Who is the most important person in their life? Sheba. If you prefer to look at it as asking about living people, then the answer becomes Jenna, and by extension Isaac.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die? ...Oh, I have to rank it? His party, his parents, the party's descendants,the world... As for how, odds are it'd be in a bunch of years trying to keep someone from doing monumentally stupid things that would threaten the world.
