Socrates would fly away Angus would communicate with them. He has a pet wolf called Gorse. Does your MC own any jewellery ?
Amos owns an amulet given to him by his mother shortly before she died. Heridon has a St. John medal. Omar has his marriage ring. Helen has earrings. How would your character discuss death to a small child?
As a Zelda fan, I have to reply to this. It must be done!! At first Jason would bug out that he no longer has access to computers and Internet and all that. Unless it was like the Matrix and he can screw around with the game coding... yeah he'd have all sorts of fun with that. But! He would get over it and explore Hyrule and such. (I think Jason is becoming the true definition of a Mary Sue... oh well. ) Jason isn't that much of a religious person and has his own ideas of death. But if the small child comes from a religious family he would probably go with that. Saying something to the effect that death is like falling asleep only when you wake up you find yourself in a better and more beautiful place. That when a loved one dies its not good bye, its 'til next time. What would your character do if they had been camping and came back to their town/city to discover that some foreign power had invaded and their country is now at war?
Amos: The British!! Cowards! They cannot accept they've lost already! How I wish that island would sink beneath the Atlantic and rid us of their stupidity! (This actually does happen to him when the War of 1812 rolls along. After it ends and claims the life of his son, Amos refused to forgive them and said that should a British woman put her baby on his front doorsteps, he'd have his servant take the baby to an orphange. He wouldn't care how good or bad the orphange was. No British child is calling his house their home if he could help it!) Heridon: Wait, what? Invading? It's 2011 for God's sake! No one's- The French: We are here to reclaim Louisiana and make you the cheese eating surrender monkeys you call us! VIVI LA FRANCE!! Heridon: Oh <expletive>!! Omar: I'll be in Italy with my family. Do not call me. Helen: For <expletive>'s sake! First you decimate all of Great Britain, and now you're invading America!? Don't you realize there are countries you should be more afraid of than us? The daughter of your MC's worst enemy has gotten a crush on him/her. What does the MC do??
If he was her age (Crimson is around 16-18, although it's never specified) and she liked him back, she'd try to get him on her side and get him to ditch town with her. (She's fleeing town anyway due to corrupt conspiracy with town leaders) If she did not like him, she'd tell him to shove it. If he creeped on her, she wouldn't be afraid to whale him in the face. She's a pretty tough girl. How would your MC handle someone talking on their cell phone right behind him/her in the theater during a really good movie?
My MC would say, "Would you mind talking somewhere else? There are people watching a movie!" And then of course the person would be offended How does your MC cope?
Huh, I thought. Huh. ****ing brilliant, ****ing typical. Usually I'd speak to Alex about these things. I never said what it was that had made me angry, it always seemed like stupid bull**** whenever I put it in words. It was the whole shower of little things that annoyed me and that always made me angrier anyway, so when I saw Alex I'd be all "Those ****ing bastards" in general and Alex was always angry. He showed it different though. He'd be all cold and calculated and knew exactly what ought to happen and so we'd sit there up on the field on the hill looking down on the school (where we ought to have been in lessons at the time usually) and we would see everything from every angle and I'd be angry with other people (who did these things) and not me so much. How does your character speak to authority figures?
Hmm Socrates is the authority figure no-one trumps him. He only insists on them calling him Father Lorenzo, Your Holiness etc when they are generally disrespectful. He calls some authority figures some less than flattering names if he thinks they deserve them. Angus again becomes a King, he observes protocols in the first book before it happens, however one of the first thing he does on becoming king is to have the people around him treat him normally. Socrates is the only person above him - and he calls him Soc. He does however resist the urge to call the Abbot character anything but Sir or Abbot. Guy is his father-in-law and terrfies him.. Describe the world/setting your MC inhabits?
Describe the world/setting your MC inhabits? Amos: It's a small port town a few miles from Boston. I think John Adams had come here a time or two. Heridon: Same with Amos, only 234 years later. Omar: I was born in Israel, but grew up in Virginia. Helen: The world? Well, to be literal, it's the Earth. However, when I'm flying in space, my world is my spaceship, because it has people from all over the world working in it. Your character is trapped on the Titanic while it's sinking! What does he/she do?
"Wishes I was part of the Polar Bear club or whatever they're called...jumping into freezing water with not a lot of clothes on," Jeremiah says. "I would make them fill the life boats. I'm very, very convincing without even being physical. Back then it would be easier to convince than now. I might even do a bit of judge and jury based on what they're past displays. Too much power for a sixteen year old. It is. I didn't want, but if I have it I might as well use it." Your MC has too many what...?
Jenny: Maybe i have too many things being different. At first, i really wanted to be normal, like everybody is. That used to be my only wish. But now, i like me how I am. Your MC is having dinner with a very important person. But this person ordered something for both and your MC is afraid he/she has to vomit if he/she eats it. But not eating it would be very impolite. Remember, the person is veeeery important. What does your MC do?
Crimson would drop a few lines before taking the first bite about how she's been feeling stomachachey and weird all week. Then she'd only eat a little bit, and would blame it on that. What is the most awkward moment your MC has had? (btw, Sunny, thanks for giving a thought out and specific question!
You're Welcome, im doing the best i can^^ Jennies most awkward moment was probably when she ran into a tree^^ Well, i translated and shortened the extract, here it is: My legs were moving very fast, it felt like flying. The trees were passing by too fast to see them clearly. Although I there was no path I wasn‘t scared of running into one of them, because I got out of the way automatically. „Jenny!“, Lilo called running next to me. She wanted to run a race? Fine! I quickened my steps and left her behind me. But a few seconds later my friend passed me easily. „Jenny, you‘re thinking too highly of your abilities. Stop, IMMEDIATELY!“ I did it. But although my legs weren‘t moving anymore, my body flew on without getting slower. Screaming in panic, I turned over some times, my head hit the ground, then my left arm did, I flew on and finally I crashed into a tree, still incredibly fast. I heard a crack and a huge bough fell down to me. I‘d die. Suddenly a hand appeared and caught it. Lilo! „Oh my gosh, Jenny! You can‘t stop when you run so fast. You have to slow down before. Oh my gosh, everything all right?“ When your MC comes home, his wife/her husband is in the bedroom with your MC's best friend. (As is so many movies, unelievable great gimmick of my^^) what the wife/husband and the Best friend are doing in the bedroom? No idea how does your MC react?
Sunny, du hast sehr gut Englisch; ich habe in Deutschland fuer drei Jahren gewohnen, wann ich 12-15 Jahren alt war. Crimson would walk over and punch the guy in the face. She wouldn't be mad at the other girl, because maybe she didn't know the guy wasn't single...but she'd be furious with the guy. Then she'd dump him him and never forgive him no matter how much be apologized. What would your MC do if his/her significant other asked your MC if he/she could fool around with 3 other people on the side? In a genuine way, not teasing?
LOL before Socrates' Children no way he was a one guy, guy- these days he seems to be more open to the idea, probably because of his own dirty, cheating ways He'd probably tell Nate it was fine as long as he could join in Where would your MC go scuba diving ?
Elgaisma: Would your MC like to go scuba diving? Yes. He'd try anything new just to have a change of scenery. Is your MC a hard worker? Or more of a procrastinator?
Hmm both he is a hardworker but he procrastinates stuff when he feels it is above him. Your MC finds your Antagonist by side of the road injured - what happens next ?
EDIT: Sorry, Ninja'd. I'm answering the scuba question. We all posted too close together so I didn't see the others. Probably not, because there's only one major body of water in her setting and she's creeped out by it. Your MC is a reporter and he/she has just gotten an appointment for a vital interview. The interview is with a key source for a story that will get your MC's article on the front page for several days running. He/she drives over to the source's house -- however, upon arrival, he/she discovers that: (ALL of these items are the case) 1. The source lives in a falling-apart trailer with rotting porch, unhinged windows etc 2. Said trailer is 40 miles from the nearest town 3. MC's cell phone signal no longer works 4. Snarling, angry Rottweilers (3 or 4 of them) are chained to tethers in the yard 5. A bad smell is coming from the trailer 6. The trash can is overflowing and looks like it has been for several weeks 7. The source walks out of the house, smiles, asks if your MC is ready for the interview etc in a totally normal voice....however there are bloodstains all over their clothes What does your MC do?
"Absolutely," I reply, returning his beaming smile, "provided those ghastly beasts shan't be joining us." I'm disgusted at the condition of his abode, of course, but courtesy demands itself. The man in questionably soiled garments gestures within his deteriorating caravan. Because of the smell, I'm hesitant to step inside, but I'm overcome by my curiosity at the blood displayed on his clothes, human of course. I can only hope he intends me to join the unfortunate state of whomever he's killed. That would be most amusing. I follow, gingerly testing the delicate porch before resting my weight on it. "You know, of course, on whose behalf I speak." "Yes," he replies, leading me into the dismal kitchen area. "Tea?" he offers. "I'd be delighted," I reply. My mc's a murdering psychopath too, actually. He's very old fashioned as well, as I'm sure you can tell. What would s/he do upon discovering his/her lover or friend standing over a dead body, a bloody knife in his/her hand?
"I do what people would consider to be cheating," Jeremiah says. "I can see truth. I would know if they did what it looks like they did. I could. Not many know I can. I can answer based on initial thought. My initial thought would be OHMYGODWHATHAPPENEDHERE? Just like that. Promise." He grins. Is your MC a night owl or early bird?
Night. If your MC read this thread, what would he/she think about the answers you've previously given about him/her?
Mildly amused, and irritated that I'm not writing. If your main character were to meet you, what would they think of you?
Socrates and me would argue lol Something like this probably: Socrates Lorenzo is the brother of King Angus of Covesea Island. Great character that has accompanied me on many stories, his first day at school is outlined in Little Chicks a short story I wrote. I have written Socrates at every age from seven upwards. We don't get on all that well however and he has been keeping a blog on me for several months. Anya: Hey Soc, what do you think of our new home? Socrates: Hmm getting used to it, bit miffed I have to share you. Before it was just us. Anya: At least we get to chat on a regular basis now. Socrates: I hear you are planning on writing about people other than me. I don't like it, will be picketing. Anya: Picket away Soc, fact is your new story is giving me a headache. Socrates: Been giving me much worse given what you have done to me, you so can't leave it like that. Please Anya I do not want to be out of my mind indefiintely.. Anya: OK pal what do you say I write passed that bit first - then take a break? Socrates: That works - think I could do with some time with Nate without you watching. Anya: Sounds like a plan - so see you in a couple of days when I have finished the short stories for the website ? Tomorrow I get to work with Gran. Socrates: Keep that woman away from me. She clouted me with her umbrella, the joke I told Gus wasn't that filthy. Anya: Hmm why do I suspect you deserved it. Socrates: Yeah well anyway if you are going to be mean, I'm not speaking anymore. Anya: Remind me again how old you are? Socrates: How should I bloody know get jet lag the way you move my age around. Anya: OK Soc take care I got loads to do and my kids want feeding Socrates: Next week then I guess What would happen if your MC do if he met your antagonist injured by side of the road?
