Arthur: It's expected of me. I am King Arthur... the oracle foretold of a great war. The war is supposed to... But I'm King Arthur. The High King of England. I... must be on the battlefield with... my- I have no goddamn training. I'm only sixteen. I can not lead people there. I can't even go there myself. Lu, what the hell I am supposed to do? It's fine. Lots of other lads my age are going, and I will lead them to victory, being King Arthur. What would your MC do if they got a parking ticket and the warden was still there?
Yugslav: I respect the elders descoin for he is my authority. Though if I`m ever in a position to spit in his food or such..well. How would you`r MC react if they were betrayed by someone they loved or felt close to?
Well there is this: https://www.writingforums.org/threads/consequence-and-punishment-2817-words-and-2-4.148376/ (Though it is more actual than an if.) What would your MC do if they had a MECH, or a war-frame (15-25ft tall with manipulate able hands), and would they get in a bit of trouble with it?
Lu: I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT I LOVE IT! *stomps around* *all the houses crumble* Ah, shit... What would your MC do if they woke up in jail... for murder?
Any of my MCs would expect the others to come bust them out in a spectacular hail of lead and grenades ( Blade was actually charged with murder in his back story - the council court generously allowed him to volunter for recon instead of 15 years hard labour) (incidentally wreybies question from earlier about enjoying the west world brothel put me in mind of a quote from Blade in one of the early chapters "when you grow up with your mother selling herself in the village square to put food in your gut, going whoring kinda loses its appeal" ) What is/would be the most romantic thing your MC has done or would do ?
Skye: [cackles] Go on, you two. Leo: For the last time, Skye, we're NOT DATI- Rei: GOD, SKYE, STOP PUSHING US TOGETHER Skye: [holds hand up, telekinetically forces the two together] Now kiss. Skye: ...And that's the most romantic thing I've done. I remember them not talking to me for at least a week. So worth it. Worst time your MC has accidentally hurt someone, emotionally or otherwise?
She tried to protect her boss by lying about her psychic skills. He then made a dangerous assumption and ended up in a building where some bad guys were burning evidence. The fire got out of control, trapping him on the top floors. He had no choice and jumped. Your MC opens the door and finds a cut-and-paste threatening letter. What does he/she do next?
Blade : Pah Ive been threatened by experts , you want to scare me you've got to do better than a bit of newsprint , and ffs have the balls to put your name to it Keri : worries that the secret about her past is about to come out , can't decide whether to premptively tell Blade the truth now or sweat it out Chris : A letter, are you for real ? - screws it up in a ball in throws it inacurately at a nearby fire , you've got a problem with me or mine fucking bring it arsehole , we can sort it out with pistol, fists, or knife its all the same to me
Mister Moose seem`s to have forgotten to add a questoin On the note one Yugslav: Stares at, for a bit then shrugs "I can`t read" tosses it away. What does you're MC consider to be their biggest weakness or failing
Fredrick: At the beginning of my book, where I'm at now, his inability to fight for a cause he thinks is just. (Battle injury messed his back up.) Might be something new at the end, we'll see how it goes. Jason: . . . Hates to think about this sort of thing. He tries really hard to be a happy-go-lucky kid (and mostly succeeds) so it would probably be whenever he shows some sort of 'negative' emotion like fear, or anger, sadness most of all. Sharon: I think Sharon basically just hates herself for the situation she's in. She doesn't really have something she consider her 'biggest weakness or failing'.
Aaaahh, so sorry! Um, lemme see. How would your MC handle being stuck in a small, enclosed space with the person they despised most?
What are your MC's 2 least-similar favorite songs? Alec: Aurelio Voltaire's "When You're Evil" was probably the big thing that helped me realize that I'm a bad guy compared to most people, but Amy and I are such Platonic Life Partners at this point - seriously, when she gets married someday, I'm not going to see the guy as a friend or an acquaintance, I'm going to see the guy as a brother-in-law - that we once spent hours on YouTube, scouring all of the love songs we can find for an Our Song that can be interpreted non-romantically, and with half a lyric's exception that we manage to ignore, Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" is the one that feels the most right to us. Charlie: My sex life is basically Rihanna's "Disturbia," but my ringtone is the "Bill Nye" theme. Amy: What Alec just said about Kelly Clarkson, but I also wish I could live in the absolute freedom of the paradise city described by Guns 'n' Roses ... in their song "Welcome to the Jungle." Everybody there's a bad guy, nobody makes apologies, and nobody blames anybody else for the kind of people they are. What are your MC's 2 least-similar favorite songs? EDIT: Huh, new one: Alec: You mean the guy who raped my friend Amy in High School, then ratted us out to the police when we showed him what it felt like? I would just sit there, cool as a cucumber, and taunt him with reminders that what we did to him was Amy's idea, not mine, and that I wasn't going to do anything to him without waiting to hear from her first. It's nothing personal, it's just that she's better than he is. Though it would be so hard for me not to tell him that she's the "America's worst female serial killer" everybody's been hearing about for the last 2 years, but again, this is her call, not mine. Charlie: Rat who sold out my last gang, getting half of us arrested, some of us killed, and the rest of us left to fend for ourselves with no resources to our names? I'd rip his tongue out and shove it up his ass. Amy: I don't believe my mother's ever apologized for trying to drag me to church to confess my sin of being raped as a 15-year-old, but I've made a name for myself as the Richmond Ripper since running away. What the fuck has she done with her life? ... Anyway, I would tell her everything I've done, point out that she sided with a 19-year-old, 200-pound rapist over a 15-year-old, 100-pound girl, then taunt her with the fact that I've become so much better at it than he ever was. Maybe she'll blame herself for helping him turn me into what I am today, but then I'll point out that millions of people go through what she and the guy did to me, but without turning out like me, and that thousands of people turn out like me without ever going through what I did. She would die even more afraid than I was as a girl, and she would die with the knowledge that I wasn't giving her the credit for having that kind of power over my life that she wanted. What are your MC's 2 least-similar favorite songs?
Very, but very calm. He's a man with a plan. A pro when it comes to appearances. His drive is emotional (although he is quite oblivious of that fact) but not his act. How would your MC react if he or she had woken up in an unknown place?
You're a 'defensive' weapons dealer, but you look out for your friends. You best friend's girlfriend comes to you and asks for a particularly destructive firearm. You know he's just gotten out on parole. What do you do?
Lu: He's being very stupid and so are you, you go and tell him that because it really is stupid. However, I'll get it to you. If you hurt anyone innocent, I'm afraid I will have to kill you. Don't forget to have fun now! What does your MC think of the police and private detectives?
Oh, this is going to be good Alec: I think they're annoying when they get in the way, but I don't have a problem with most of them as people, they're just doing their jobs. Just 'cause someone likes the Yankees and someone likes the Red Sox don't mean they can't respect each other for playing the same game, they just shouldn't break the rules of whichever side they do throw their chips into. Charlie: I just try to stay out of their way. Amy: Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the [pantomimes opening fire into a police station] FLOOOOR! ... Seriously, if they wanted me to believe that they're better than people like me and that I should be punished for attacking innocent people, then why didn't they side with me when I was the 15-year-old, 100-pound innocent girl who got raped by a 19-year-old man twice my size? You'd think they'd be celebrating the Richmond Ripper for being so much better at it than he was if they supported him so much in the first place. Jason: I think the good ones do a lot of good, and the bad ones do a lot of bad. Still trying to figure out which of them are the more representative among them. When was your MC the most pleasantly surprised by the results of a decision they made?
Corrin: Managing to get my role choice right first time. Normally it takes three of four choices before you pass The House's Test. Who is your MC most likely to kill and why?
Marckus: "I have already killed the man that I promised to kill. And I did it with my bare hands, after I taught him a lesson." Would your MC work with their enemy if it meant they would ultimately win the day? What, and why or why not?
Hm, this should be fun. Let me see. . . Fredrick: To start with, Fredrick doesn't consider himself as having personal enemies. The people he fights are generally on behalf of someone else (aka hero complex). If he thought it was necessary, he would begrudgingly team with one to take down someone he considers a greater evil though. Jason: He wouldn't want to. At all. He hates his 'enemy', with a depth that kinda scares him. If he thought at all he could make it without the guy, he wouldn't. It'd have to be really dire and then it's iffy. Sharon: Oh she wouldn't. If she got half a chance she'd kill the guy, who cares about the greater threat? (Incidentally, she and Jason have the same mortal enemy. Which made me want to stick this situation in my book now. Yay for inspiration!) What kind of games is your character good at?
