Nabbed from people...
Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG you played them in. Once you've picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until you've picked your characters!) Put your answers behind a LJ-cut.
1) Leroy Nelson, Ubergeek - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Unisystem
2) Cassius Stormward, Knight of Solamnia - Dragonlance, D&D 3.5
3) Evan Tarsis, Jedi Consular - Star Wars, D20 System
4) Elena Sandar, Spellfire Wielder - Forgotten Realms, D&D 3.5
5) Yasuo Tachibana, Shih Warrior - Hengeyokai, Storyteller System
6) Kyp, Tiefling Thief - Planescape, D&D2.0
7) Relik 'Bluey' Bluestone, Gnome Artificer - Forgotten Realms, D&D 3.0
8) Doctor Sean Foster, Cultural Historian - Stargate, D20 System
9) Lieutenant Commander Spork, Vulcan Chief of Security - Star Trek Exeter
10) Security Chief Carl Myers, Human Telepath - Babylon 5, D20 System
11) Olaf Olafson, Son of Olaf Bjornson, Son of Bjorn Olafson, Viking Mage - Mage, Storyteller System
12) Matt Vale-Parker, the MVP - WWE Know Your Role, D20 System
And the questions:
1) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?
Kyp or Olaf? Olaf. Provided you wanted alternative lecture techniques, and were studying ancient Viking runes. And could stand the smell. Kyp would steal all the pens.
2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Cassius? Well, he was modelled physically on a young Kenneth Branagh, and had a Charisma of.. very high. So yeah, he was a stud :P
3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
"Go interfere in my opponent's match." Does it succeed? Uh, no. Foster wouldn't even know what a wrestling ring was, he'd be too busy surfing the internet for more ancient historical digs. That or he'd shoot the guy with a Zat.
4) What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?
Vulcan holy texts?
5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
...neither... Kyp isn't nobility, or a knight, so Cass wouldn't swear anything to him, except, well, a swear word. And Kyp is a member of the Fated, whose motto, if I remember correctly, is take what you can for yourself. So.. no. Never.
6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
So a Japanese warrior has to bunk with a telepath or a vulcan. He'd go with the telepath, at least then they could get sloshed on sake. And Myers could have a conversation with the evil demon immortal stuck in his head.
7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Hm. Well, it would be wherever MVP persuaded Cassius to pay for. And somewhere that would let a grease-stained gnome in. I guess they're having a picnic then. Cassius would discuss knightly honour, and try to persuade Matt to lead a more worthwhile life. MVP would persuade Bluey to make gadgets to help him out in the ring, and Bluey would annoy the hell out of the other two - though Cassius would be too polite to show it. Eventually MVP would storm out in a hissy fit, and the other two would finish the food in an uncomfortable silence...
8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Evan can pick up more stuff with his mind than Carl. Evan picks up big stuff, then drops it on Carl. The end.
9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
He'd distract him by pointing out that the government really ARE watching him. And they really DO know aliens. Etc. Etc. Leroy would have a geekgasm infront of the stargate, and Foster would politely have armed guards remove the offending item.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
"Cheat 2 Win"
Or maybe "Foreign Objects"
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together
...offer them both shiny things, and see who could get to them first?
12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I'd strangle him. But not before he retrofitted my house with flamethrowers and mechanical cats.
13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
"Change channel, and pass me a beer."
14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
*splutter* HELL NAW.
15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Oh jesus fuck, I don't know. Elena, because Yasuo ended that game with the aforementioned gribbly immortal in his head. Evil must be vanquished!
16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING!"
17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"One", by U2.
18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Leroy would be a bit paranoid to take it, because MVP is quite big, and has Brick standing behind him. MVP wouldn't hesitate, but Kyp would have already stolen it.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Guy/Guy there. In fact, Kenneth Branagh and Nicholas Cage. I'm not even gonna answer this question, I'm just gonna let the girls drool.
20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Theft. Or murder.
21) What is 6's secret?
Uhm. He didn't really have one secret. He had a ton. Maybe that his closest companion was a genocidal maniac?
22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Spork. He'd travel at Warp 9.
23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
DEFINITELY Foster. He might be a wuss, but at least he wouldn't accidentally blow me up. Unless he tried to use his gun. On second thoughs, can I take the 5th?
24) 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
