Oh, man. I know this is SLIGHTLY late, but I figure I'll go ahead and say farewell anyways. I'll go ahead and echo a few other people when I say THANK YOU, this game successfully pulled me out of the suicidal loop that is HP role playing -- broadening my horizons is not an easy thing to do, but FT managed it. :'] I had a lot of fun here, guys. The depth and variety of the characters here was probably the most prominent aspects of my experience at FT (a few that come to mind -- Byrons, Asher, Skip, Anser, I'm lookin' at you), and that's probably what made it so insanely enjoyable. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explore such a great concept with such lovely characters, guys. :>
ANYWAYS. Here's my share of the meme, assuming anyone's still around to read it.
Napoleon eventually manages to reconcile his weirdo protective complex by getting into charity work -- specifically, helping kids in Africa and pretending he's Quentin. His interest in all things trendy fades and so, accordingly, does his quasi-celebrity. He puts most of his time and a good deal of money towards his newfound calling, taking a break here and there to vacation with Rose and Jess. Because he's a masochist, really.
Sometime in his forties, a business scandal involving the circulation of an unsafe medication manufactured by his company leaves Hart Pharmaceuticals financially crippled and in ruins. Napoleon manages to leave the situation with a decent amount of cash to settle the lawsuits and live comfortably in New York, but nothing like what he was used to. To his friends' surprise, he handles it with some degree of grace and limited amounts of complaining. He retires quietly, spending most of his time hanging out with Nava, Jess, and Matty.
Sophie carries on as she always has, going to work, going to yoga, yelling at Avery, and going to bed before doing it all over again. She's always taken a degree of solace in sticking to her routine, and thankfully for her sanity, she's managed to keep it up. The small incident involving Avery trying to kill Simon results in her natural ire. Despite both parties' insistence that she couldn't be friends with both of them, Sophie stays together with Avery and keeps in touch with Simon afterwards. The Cricket and the Sea Bitch never set up anything formal, but they live together with the rest of their days (with a few breaks allowing for the inevitable rows in between).
Prudence has a threesome with Leo and Chris. She and Rick eventually get her dad's research back and she cackles like a crazy person when he and Cygna have their bb. Despite always complaining about staying in America, she eventually decides to keep teaching at Columbia -- of her own free will. She continues to have periodic episodes of financial windfall and poverty at intervals throughout her life, but ALSO manages to get her paws on a really badass motorcycle. And, as an infinitely lame and ironic finale, she eventually has an affair with one of her saucy little graduate students. Though she'll maintain to her death that nothing happened, that relationship lasted for nearly ten years before she up and left him to spend the rest of her days studying the flightless cormorant and sipping Mojitos in the Galapagos.
Max defies all expectations and graduates from NYU. Barely. She never really gets over her deep and okay, admittedly twisted, love of Rick. She spazzes when he apparently VANISHES OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET. So much so that she crashes the car she was learning to drive at the time. After a month or so of rehabilitating, she deems herself fit as a fiddle and runs off with Quentin and Logan in a hot air balloon. They crash land in South America, where they happily spend the rest of their days.
Jeremiah, after making one too many smart remarks in Marie's direction, is sadly murdered by said evil fashion designer. She lures him into a secluded apartment building, hits him over the head with a shovel (maybe more than once), and sets the room on fire. Edwina names her children after him, yadda yadda. RIAN, TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO CHANGE THE SPECIFICS OF HIS DEATH.
