    Prince Daius: False charges of corruption, treason, and/or some "immoral" indecency by antagonistic elements within the government. One that he's probably most like to actually commit... probably punching one of said antagonistic Senators in the face, especially if they insulted someone he really respects and/or loves.

    Edward: Inaction when a crime took place (I don't remember the actual term...)

    Rose: Assault and/or disruption to public peace

    Constantine: Assault

    Theodora: Disruption to public peace

    G1: Kicking back with a cigar and a shot of bourbon at the local cabaret.
    G2: Playing video games by day, robbing rich barons by night.
    G3: International aid worker.
    G4: Tournament after tournament after tournament after tou...

    What's for breakfast and why?

    Ashley: Mmmmm, Cheese and Pickle sandwiches...

    She doesn't get up before noon when she can help it ¬_¬

    Who would be your MC's ideal love interest and why?

    Adalyn: Someone who's also kind of nerdy and quirky and understands her. Someone fun, nice, laid back etc. The type of person who she would *not* be with is the type who'd be controlling or act like he's in a position of authority, even if he was nice about it. Or someone who keeps trying to get her to be more "normal" or who disapproves of her quirkiness (she is in her own world a lot)

    Your MC is a campaign worker for a candidate at a major political event, and a campaign director of a much higher position for your MC's candidate's opponent begins to hit on your MC. Your MC is 23-ish, and the opposing candidate's campaign director is 60+. What does your MC do? Keep in mind that your MC is at a table discussing the candidate with potential voters when this occurs, and his/her behavior may reflect on the candidate.

    Oh dear...um...okay, so a 60+ year-old is getting the hots for my MC? I think...um...

    Omar: Please. I'm not your husband. I'm too young to be your husband.

    Heridon: Yeah...you need help. You're old enough to be my grandma and she's dead.

    Helen: Please tell me you're kidding around with me.

    A dog and a cat are trapped in a burning house, but your MC can only save one. Which one will they choose??

    Well unless it his house or he's getting paid, risking his life to save an animal when people are getting murdered every day [where he lives anyway] is a waste of resources.

    Your main character receives an invitation to join a gang, in person, from several members who are going to be very annoyed if he/she/it refuses. What does he/she/it do?

    Helen: Let them come to us. It's seven men versus me and my entire ship. I think it's a forgone conclusion what will happen.

    How woud your MC justify an atrocity he/she has to make?

    G1: War happens.
    G2: Survival of the fittest.
    G3: His will be done.
    G4: Atrocity? This? Don't be naive.

    An enemy organisation has kidnapped a central support character! What do you do?

    Get him/her/it back, and kill or wound anyone in the way.

    Your character is thrown off a cliff, What does he/she/it do?

    Luckily my MC can fly so he'd easily get right back to the top of the cliff.

    Your MC is lost in a dense forest and sprains their ankle. What now?

    Nick: Makes a splint and tries to find his way to the nearest village.

    Riley: Ignores the pain and keeps walking.

    Ptemesh: Flies, or transforms into some animal that doesn't have ankles.

    Tramudon: Swears very colorfully, breaks some stuff, sets a forest fire, and flies away.

    Your MC is stuck in the middle of the ocean on a small raft. What's their next course of action?

    Julian: Fly away using his vampire flying skills.

    Rose: Use her ghost whispering powers to summon help.

    Your MC had to choose to save their own life or the life of a total stranger.

    Shannon Gage: Doesn't believe in no-win situations. Regardless of the choice he tries to save both himself and the total stranger, even if it means they both die. It's better that way.

    Your MC makes a tactical blunder costing the lives of his/her fire-team. At the court martial your MC's defense is?

    A loaded shotgun

    The villain calls and says that your MC dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he/she/it leaves him/her/it alone for a few months of quiet contemplation He/She/It will likely return to the path of righteousness.
    What do you do?

    G1: "Wait... you're evil?"
    G2: "...How the hell did you get this number?"
    G3: *Doesn't own a phone*
    G4: "Do I know you?"

    How does your MC deal with minor maladies like the common cold?

    L - Prologue: Try to gather up some food and water and find somewhere in the slums to wait it out. He's not keen to have to defend himself when he's like that.
    L - The Collective: Request a sick day and a few special accomodations (hot soup and tea maybe) and recooperate and reflect in one of the quarantine rooms.
    L - The Compound: His handlers would put him into stasis and pump him full of vitamins and the like, whether he wanted to or not, until he was over it.

    F - At his estate: Being ill is one of the occasions that he outright expects to be taken care of and nursed by his staff. It's unusual and rather out of character for his normally austere lifestyle, but they understand.
    F - The Collective: Unless it was time of crisis or turmoil, he'd announce his departure and leave for his estate, where he'd do the above. His subordinates know he's rather useless when he's sick, as rare as that is, and wouldn't expect otherwise.
    F - The Compound: He'd likely request to be put into stasis until he was better and bypass the whole episode, if possible.


    Ima steal this: How would your MC justify an atrocity he/she has to commit?

    my MC would find a logical backing to his actions, and if there was none, he would accept that he made a mistake

    what is your MC's strongest skill/main talent?

    Raven is good at running away. Curse you, Isaac!

    If your MC killed, how would they feel?

    Dwight would be ok with killing if he felt it was justified in regards to his objective or survival, Doug would be a complete mess unless there was absolutely no other option.

    How would your MC react to the discovery of alien life on earth?

    Ashley: First vampires, now Aliens? What's next, the freakin' tooth fairy??

    I think she'd probably take it badly, she likes a quiet life and all these revelations about the existance of things she doesn't believe in are pretty bad for her. She'd probably move underground to hide away from them if she could.

    Your MC has just been involved in a terrible accident and survived. They can either crawl away and wait for help or go back to the scene and try to save more people at great personal risk, what would they do and why?

    L: When he finally recovered from reeling from the accident and reoriented himself, he'd hurl himself into saving them with every fiber of his being. Anyone is more deserving of life than him, and his being the only survivor would be an intolerable guilt he couldn't bare.

    F: He'd try to get help however he could. He can't afford to die. Not because of personal selfishness, but because he is an irreplaceable agent of revolution, bent on rending as much of mankind as possible from its tragic, pathetic existence. A group of dead innocents now is better than the continuance of life as it is, and innumerable deaths and wasted lives in the future.

    What is your MC's ultimate goal? Is there anything that would cause them to abandon/give up on it?

    Zarek's ultimate goal would be to save the world from Seifer. He would never abandon this task no matter what.

    What is your MC's favorite video game?

    Ashley: The monkey island series! PIRATES! =D

    She is meant to be fifteen, not five, but yes she likes those games XD

    Your MC has to choose what to have for their last meal, what would it be?

    He doesn't like to eat much, so he'll just eat fries and throw the rest away. If fries is the only thing he can eat, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him since he don't like to eat.

    Your main character's brother is ressurected, but he doesn't have time to stay on Earth to interact with the main character. What would be the last words the main character would say to his brother before the brother goes back to Heaven?

    Well, there's no heaven or supernaturalism in my WIP and neither of them have dead brothers, but I'll just switch 'brother' with their respective deceased loved ones.

    L (to father): "I'm sorry... I wasn't strong enough to find myself.. my place... Thank you for being all you were, and.. for trying as hard as you did."

    F (to mother): *Tries to make the fleeting reunion as joyful as possible, despite the tears welling up in his eyes* "Mom! You look great! Oh, I'm fine myself. Still maintaining the old estate... why yes, I did end up going into politics *lie*. Yep, right alongside Alexander - I see him every other day. I'll tell him you say hi! Love ya' mom. Rest in peace.."


    Your MC has failed; their goal is no longer attainable. What do they do now?
