A Little Extra Information
a) If your character could have two whole weeks for vacation and go and do anything he or she wanted, what and where would it be?
He would take Alima and Rassia to the West Bank to visit Alima's parents. The only thing stopping him from doing it now is the whole Israel/Palestine conflict. He doesn't want to take his family anywhere dangerous.

b) If your character had a weakness for one of the seven deadly sins, which one would it be and why? (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth)
Wrath. If someone crosses him or anyone he cares about, they're on Tate's shit-list for life.

c) If your character could bring one person back to life and spend a whole day with him or her, who would it be and why?
No one really. The dead should stay dead, in Tate's opinion.

d) If your character won a three-million dollar lottery, what would he or she do with the money?
Buy his parents a new house. Get his brother a car. Pay off his sisters mortgage. Buy he and Alima a new house. Get Rassia a pony.
