Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs/LRPs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG/LRP 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) Ream, FD
2) Tallus, Malestrom
3) Kyle, FD
4) Leyroy, Robotech
5) Draearth, FD
6) Tolstoy, FD
7) Rasputin, FD
8) Crush, FD
9) Ted, FD
10) William Gravel, PSI
11) Ford, FD
12) Jubei, FD
(OK, lots of FD but that's been most of my roleplaying for 10 years - I have done other things, but I can't remember!)
1. Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?
Heh. The got-all-the-answers Demonist or the hopes-he's-got-all-the-answers Seer.
They're both quite eccentrical as well.
Difficult. Tolstoy probably, because he's looking for something to do in semi-retirement.
2. Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Er...no. But then I don't think I'd say any of my characters are hot.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
"You! Half-Troll! Go and retrieve sacred rice from oni!"
Assuming there were no undead on the way, Crush could get there. Then he'd eat the rice.
4. What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?
"How To Make Armour and Influence People"
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Tallus to Tolstoy would make more sense, since Tolstoy is
1 - vastly more powerful
2 - already has a lord and won't be swearing to anyone else
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
Does the Wood Elf want to share with a Blacksmith or a amphetamine addicted ex-SAS combat magician? Hmmm.
Ted would probably provide a quieter life than Gravel.
7. 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
A Flembic, an Ullratha and a Shinni walk into a bar....
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Kyle vs Gravel. Whoa. That's meaty.
They both throw up protective barriers to start, and Gravel finds out that his gun isn't getting through Kyle's defences. Kyle's having trouble getting near with only melee weapons.
Probably would end up with Gravel teleporting away after he realises Kyle's got superior stamina for prolonged combat than him.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
They wouldn't. Crush probably wouldn't realise if Ream stole something from him anyway and he'd likely forget about it as soon as it was out of sight.
(Why would Ream want to steal a bag of skulls anyway?)
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
"Multiple Objectives"
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Ream travels to ShaMaeGaroth to explore some alternative universes. Seeing some kick-ass mecha in one, he decides to try and obtain one for his mecha-nut friend Damaramu. Leyroy's driving the first one he finds.
After the usual 'heroes fight because of a misunderstanding' they team up to defeat a Zentradi invasion.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Badly. Rasputin's a mad fascist and he's only worse when he's drunk.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
"Protect Me"
14. Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
Hmmm, don't think so.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
4. Mechs look more interesting to Tallus than a pointy-eared Dryad/Human cross.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"Fire in the hole!"
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"My Beloved Monster" by Eels
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?
Jubei - He's got the best reactions. Especially for Shinni food!
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
"Nice Tattoos"
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Well, he was arrested for being involved in the assassination of the prince of the elven nations.
These days, more likely bringing the throne of evermore into disrepute by being queen.
Or for being a yellow wood elf.
21. What is 6's secret?
He'll never tell the woman he loves his true feelings.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Ted. It's impossible to run in Ford's robe!
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?
Rasputin. Crush is meaty and all, but he's just as likely to be distracted and eat a passing cow as protect me.
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?
