Character guessing meme!

[chime]

I haven't done this meme in over a year again, which means it's about time I start it up. Again. I am thinking of ten fictional characters, and it's your job to guess who they are. You may ask any question about them you wish, as long as it's not too directly leading. (e.g. "What is 3's name," "What world is everyone from" are kinda bad form. But

this isn't really chime It's chime's lady friend

[chime]

if you were to step in a pile of poo who's poo would be least objectionable (just scrape it off your foot and move on) and along those same lines who's would be the MOST objectionable (throw away the shoes or if you were barefoot chop off your foot)

Re: this isn't really chime It's chime's lady friend

[chime]

I'm not even sure whether 2 does poo. If it's nonexistent I'd be tempted to say that's the least objectionable.

I don't think any of these would necessarily make me want to throw away my shoe. I suppose if anyone's going to fit the bill there, it would be 9.

ok so back to the Poo... rank the objectionableness of ALL their poos ranking by content and size rabbit (teeny veggie) being the least objectionable and T-rex(giant and mostly meat) the most objectionable obviously the non-pooer #2 is at the top of this list. (someone who eats only macdonalds would be toward the T-rex side of this scale and someone who eats fancy organic foods would be in the middle)

Re: this isn't really chime It's chime's lady friend

All of the characters are reasonably close to the same size.

Least objectionable (nonexistant poo): #2
1 (Smallest of the lot, and well balanced diet with lots of veggies)
3, 4, 7, 10 -- no discernable distinction
5 (I'm really not sure what she may have been eating)
6 (He eats well, but he eats badly)
8 (Alien)
9 (He just eats badly.)

Let's do a classic that I tend to like: The candidates are in a battle royale. The two most pacifistic among them refuse to participate and are executed as the half time entertainment. How do the brackets play out? Assume 1 is paired with 2, 3 with 4, etc. with the conscientious objectors being skipped in the rotation.

[chime]

1 overhears that anyone who refuses will be executed. She agonizes over this for a time, weighing the options. She would prefer to die herself than to personally have to kill three other people, but on the other hand, all but one participant is going to die anyway, and -- shouldn't she have as much of a chance as anyone? She decides to take the third option, refuse to fight and attack the judges/organizers. Unfortunately the moderators are extremely powerful (they'd have to be) and they quell her insurrection swiftly. However they were overconfident and didn't count on her ingenuity/resourcefulness -- while in holding for the halftime show, she escapes. (She'd have had a good shot at winning, but is probably the most pacifist of the ten

[chime]

Hmm, thinking more about this -- hypothetically, 10 might have been able to defeat 1 anyway. I think 1's only defenses against bullets would be diplomacy or stealth, and while her stealth may have worked against everyone else here that uses a firearm, I have reason to believe 10 would have seen through it.

[westmarked]

Is anyone's first choice of weapon not a firearm? If so, what it is?

Does three normally build his own weapons and equipment?

Assume guns were banned--melee weapons only. In brief, how does that change the standings?

Who did 5 borrow the gun jamming device from (in general terms)?

Is 7's ability to convince people of things natural or supernatural (or at least odd) in origin?

Does 9 build anything aside from walls? Please elaborate.

[westmarked]

Oh, and some general questions: Which are male and which are female? Any qualify as "other"?

Which one would be most interested in a death ray?

I have a cat, a dog, a snake, and a parrot. Who would be fighting for what pet?

[chime]

1, 4, 5, 10: Female

2, 3, 6, 7, 9: Male

8: I'm not sure what nomenclature is preferred in this individual's case; I'd have to review the canon. I believe most people say male.

3 would be most interested in a death ray.

1 would think about the cat, but favor the dog in the end.
I think 2 might enjoy having a cat around.
6 would possibly find the parrot amusing, but would get tired of it after a while.
9 opts for the snake, which he tries to use to attack someone with poisonous snake venom, but it backfires as the snake bites him instead.

Ok, please rate the canon of each character on a 1-5 scale of Grimdark vs. Light and Puppies, with 1 being Saikano, 2 being Warhammer 40k, 3 being Buffy, 4 being your daily life, and 5 being Azumanga Diaoh (or Ichigo Mashimaru, but I don't know if you've seen that). It's okay to use decimals, but try to stick to rational numbers.

[chime]

Lots of threes. I'm not sure whether I'm rating the same way you would, though.

1: 3, maybe edging a bit updards towards 4
2: Somewhere between 2 and 3
3: 3
4: I'd argue about 2 -- there're lots of light moments, but then, there are some in Saikano too
5: 3
6: 3
7: 4
8: 3
9: Doesn't really have a 'canon', but I'd say 5. There's lots of violence, but it's mostly Wile E. Coyote-type stuff.
10: 2

Okay, completely new track to start with: All of them are a speed dating event. Who is initially attracted to whom, and any cases of reciprocal interest turn out well in the long run?

[chime]

9 is rejected off the cuff by everybody except 8, who decides to bring another dimension into 9's life. However, 9 fails to perform, even with 8's rather proficient ministrations. 8 forgets about him, and wishes he had ended up with any of the other eight characters

Is a romantic relationship with 4 dangerous because of something biological/inherent to her, or simply because the writers of whatever universe she's from don't seem to want her to stay with someone?

Is 1 a teenager? On the younger end of that, or the older?

Are 6 and 10 normally attracted to girls (and only girls)? Are they normally not attracted at all, but there's something special about the other?

Elaborate on 5: Is she in a committed relationship, but also hot for someone else? Is 5 the most (physically) attractive woman in the room?

Is 9 the designated loser of his canon? How old is 9, approximately?

[westmarked]

Crap, got confused and thought 6 was a woman for some reason. Ignore that question.

You're in line at an event something that makes you wait outside for each one what kind of event is it Super ridiculous early bird sales event, sports event, music event, theater, book signing, general nerd event, or bathroom line?

Who got there early
who showed up right when the event started
who never showed up

who would you want to be line camping with (how would being out in the heat effect their odor & personality)

[chime]

I'm waiting outside 1's mentor's house to have tea with the two of them together. Said mentor keeps us waiting because she likes to show a little bit of dominance now and again. Also she's really not sure why I'm, there, anyway. There's not much concept of "early" or "late," but I think we both got there early; I very likely travelled with 1

[chime]

Of all these, the one I'd probably most like to be line-camping with would be #1. She could make the temperature a non-issue, for one.

3 is Dr. Horrible.
