Heridon: Country Roads by John Denver. I'm Texan and the music reminds me of Texas. Say what you like, but I'm proud to be from that state. What would your MC do when drunk?
Mazrath would probably challenge the whole bar to a fight. That or take on even the dumbest of challenges. What would your MC do for love?
What would your MC do for love? Franz: His ultimate, all-consuming love is for the emergent phenomenon that is mankind, of which he is only an infinitesimal part. Although his life has been full of close and deeply loving relationships, everything is subordinate to and expendable in the face of his philanthropic aspirations. That said, he will do anything in his power - short of endangering said aspirations - to protect and enrich those he loves, no matter the cost. His dedication to both his grand plan and the people he loves is exemplified and coalesced in his eventual self-sacrifice/suicide - necessary to the preservation of either. Leon: Let them go. The most loving thing he could do is to break the bonds of affection and set free those who care for him, as said love is inevitably doomed to a slow death by suffocation in the anaerobic murk of his emotional fragility and irreciprocity. Or in other words, he doesn't feel he could ever honor and reciprocate the love afforded to him, and anyone who feels for him is better off forgetting he exists. It goes without saying he has a self-destructive habit of sabotaging most any budding relationship he stumbles into. Otherwise, he'll do basically anything for those he (despite his attempts not to) loves or feels lives a more worthy life than himself - which is most people he allows himself to get to know - ; ideally if they never find out about it. What's your MC's biggest emotional weaknesses/dysfunctions/hang-ups?
Zarek has a bit of an anger issue that causes problems for him. Cerrus isn't very emotional but will get upset over certain subjects. Seifer has really no emotions at all as he is brainwashed. What would your MC do if they had 3 wishes? THEY CAN NOT WISH FOR MORE WISHES EITHER!
F: 1. There were an infinite supply of as yet unrenewable or depleted natural resources. 2. He were omnipotent, and if possible, omniscient. 3. All people were united into a single brotherhood, under his selfless leadership. L: 1. He was someone else. Stronger, more loving and fulfilled. 2. No one would suffer, feel pain, hunger, etc. 3. No one would hate. A tsunami is coming to wipe out their hometown! What 3 items does MC grab and why?
His ipod, his favorite blazer and a bottle of wine. These things are important to him, they make him happy. What would your MC do if their house burned down?
Blame his unstable, schizophrenic brother who he lives with (who is actually him, but he thinks is another person due to hallucination-causing meds slipped to him by conspirators. It's complicated.) Then he'd try and move in with his girlfriend. A cute stray cat follows your MC home. How does he/she react?
G1: Ignore it. G2: Take it home and feed it. G3: Feed it, but give it to someone else to take care of. G4: Feed it, but leave it where it is. If it's fit to survive, it will. Your MC enters a mall swarming with undead. After a fierce battle they come face to face with the NECROMASTER. WHAT DO THEY DO?
My MC would probably be in a state of shock or fear but if anyone was in danger he would fight to the death. If your MC knew they only had an hour to live, what would they do?
At the beginning of my story if my MC found that out he would have a beer and remember the "good times" .. in the middle of my story he would be searching for someone and push that much harder to find that person... toward the end he would kill as many "bad guys" as he could to get said person back before his time was up. Your MC has been summoned to Jury duty for what ever form of justice the world you character lives in has.... Does he/she serve or do they ignore the summons and go about their way?
Amos: *dresses in a mockery of an English Magistrate* By jov, I do declare this man guilty, eh what? Robin: *facepalms* Amos, sometimes you act really immature for your age. Omar: I'm too busy going on adventures. Helen: Very well. *dresses up for the occasion* Heridon: College student. I can't come. Too young, shockingly. Your MC just turned into an animal. What kind is it and how does the MC feel about it?
Marten [WOLF] : This is extremely ironic... Reynard [FOX] : *puffs his chest out* This is ridiculous; I should be something much more majestic and powerful- like a horse. What can a fox do that's useful? Nothing. Tessa [DEER] : I like them; they're pretty! I wish I was a shapeshifter... Lucia [WAR HORSE] : Sweet- I can still kick ass... If your MC could have a magic power/ superpower: What would it be and what would they use it for? (If they already have one; do tell)
Kenthew: Well, it's normal for me, but to the humans, it's special. I can do magic. That's why, even though I'm blind, I'm walking around just fine. Thanks to my magical ability I can detect "life signatures" or whatever my master told me and spells even though I can't see physical things. However, I have to use Uvansia, which is basically the human equivalent of Braille to read. Your character has been zapped to WWII in the Pacific Theater. How does he/she react?
"What's this?" Jason asked. "Look at this place. It's a mess! Can't be any worse than my Dad's attitude. So what do I have to lose?" "Jason, hon. I know this may seem strange to you. I think we're in some kind of war," Maria explained. Her hands wrapped around Jason. A missile is seen which hits the ground distance away from Jason and Maria. Jason jerked back. "Look. I know we've been through a lot," says Maria. "We should have never dated. It's all my falut for flirting with you. I think God is telling us something here." "What? It's not your fault. Besides, I deserve to be in this mess. And this is my place. I deserve to die here. And no one will notice me dead." "What? Don't say that. You have a lot to leave for." "Tell me about it. This place means nothing to you. You have everything you have to be a good person. And me; I don't fit in with reality. You should find a better place where no one will hurt you here." What is your main character's motivation?
Amos: Elizabeth Tudor. I know she was English, but she...I admire her. She showed the world that even a "disgrace" her father made her, could make an excellent leader. Omar: I pick and choose, but I'm chiefly interested in the Crusades and Salah al-Din. Heridon: Napoleon Bonaparte. I would have even volunteered to fight for him if I were sent back to that period. Helen: Well, according to our old records, there was this woman named Susan B Anthony who didn't give up her long-time goal. Your MC is bored. They must be in their home all day and can't do anything exciting and fun. What do they do?
Leon: Exercise and ruminate, likely. Get drunk if he had access. Franz: Read, research/study, work on administrative/logistic/strategic paperwork/correspondence, perhaps paint or play guitar a bit if he felt like luxuriating himself. Otherwise, make good use of the down time. What philosophies/schools of thought are meaningful/profound to your MC/s? (Utilitarianism, existentialism, perspectivism, etc.)
Omar: Perspectivism. The other characters are now researching everything else. Your MC just got pregnant (pretend he is a female, okay?) by your villain. What does he/she do?!
Lucia: Well at that point I would consider it rape so... abort it. What would your MC do if they failed to acheive their story goal?
"Yeah, whatever," says Jason. He walks down the street, head bowed down, and jumps in bed. What is your character doing right now before your story or first scene openning takes place?
Omar: I'm packing up my suitcase to head to Russia. Heridon: I'm watching a race with friends at the track in my school. Amos: Cleaning dishes. Helen: Drinking at a pub. Com. John Torrington: Hear hear! Lindsey: *whispers to bartender* I think they're gonna get married. Com. John Torrington: Hey, where's Kenthew? Helen: The author removed him to a fantasy story. What does your MC say when you are moving him/her to a different story?
"Another? Surely not. When will I get a story of my own, Elizabeth? When? ... Alright, while I'm here... I suppose I'll murder this man." "Woah, but isn't he a huge historical figure? Can't mess with the historical timeline, Zeke." "History is written by the victors, my dear. Rumors and propaganda fly in a time of war, permanently clouding our eyes to the truth. Allow me to tell you what actually happened..." >.> How does your character value her/himself?
They value themselves in many ways. Some think they're the center of attention while others consider themselves observers of the world. What does your character think about his/her companion that he/she won't tell said companion?
Lucia: 'Marten; he's too passive and it pisses me off. He needs to be more manly' Marten: 'Lucia never smiles. Makes her look OLD. Hahahaha!' Griselda: Humans are too complicated. What does your MC find most attractive about their lover/spouse/crush/ their gender of preference in general?
