@MissTake

IQ1: Were you born of chaos and represent darkness?
IQ2: Would your backround music sound very bow-chicka-wow-wow?

IQ2: Did Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris both write songs about you?

@Elendil_s_Heir

Dunno any of these. Take three DQs.

Erebus, Eros, and Endymion
(Thanks to TheKid who is fascinated by Greek mythology)

DQ1: Did you come to notoriety within the last 100 years?
DQ2: Are you known for athletic ability?
DQ3: Is the fact that your nationality is indeterminate important to whatever made you known?

[SCAdian]

Sitting on my DQs until MissTake’s are answered. In the meantime:

DQ1: Did you hide something, which your replacement used as a nutcracker?
DQ2: Did you write of someone who traveled beyond the farthest star?
DQ3: Were you mooned by someone who didn’t have nothin’ on but a smile?

Do I look like I’m awake?

@Elendil_s_Heir

In Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper, Prince Edward (later King Edward VI) hid the Great Seal of England in a suit of armour. Tom Canty found it there whilst pretending to be the prince, and used it for cracking nuts.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan and John Carter, wrote Beyond the Farthest Star.
Correct on Ethel.

DQ1: If you were real, would you still be alive?
DQ2: First appearance on television?

Two DQs reserved…

[Le_Ministre_de_l_au-dela]

@Le_Ministre_de_l_au-dela

IQ1: After your father had been blinded, were you a tremendous help to him (even though you had to lie about your name because he had disowned you)?

IQ2: Come to that, were you the bastard brother who got the above person disowned in the first place?

IQ3: Were you an underprepared king?

@Elendil_s_Heir

Dunno the first two; I’m not Edward VIII of Great Britain.

Edward wasn’t who I was after, but he’ll do…

The first two were references to King Lear - Edgar is Gloucester’s legitimate son, Edmund is his bastard son. Edmund frames Edgar, and Edgar is disowned. When Gloucester is blinded, Edgar, under the assumed name of Poor Tom, looks after him.

Lord, please don’t make me summarize the plot of Lear any further without doing research.

Lessee…
