Captn. Glenroy: The orders from General Howe. The rebel Yankees could be at my doorsteps at any moment and I'm sitting on my arse! Amos: Heh, you just don't have the balls to act for yourself. Did Daddy forget to- Captn. Glenroy: Shut it you, blind French beggar! You're lucky I don't have you run out of the town! Amos: Too bad you need me to help find your daughter. Captn. Glenroy: Oh, if only I could kill myself and rid myself of this madness!! What would your MC do if given a knife/gun/sword and was told they had to kill themselves? Oh, and if they refused, they had to kill their beloved?
My MC has no lover, so I guess she would have to stab herself with her own sword But I reckon she could somehow weave herself out of that mess and escape! What would your MC write about if he/she had to write a novel?
Omar: *puts on glasses and takes out peice of paper and pen* Amos: Robin? Mind transcribing what I'll tell you? Robin: Of course. *Takes out quill and parchment* Helen: Let's fire up my ol' comp-net and... Comp-net: *has suffered a fatal error and has shut down* *cut to outside of the ship. We can see the comp-net being thrown out of the port window* Heridon: I don't mind thinking of stories, but I won't write one. What would you do if you were stuck with my characters for an hour? ^
My MC's reactions would actually depend on how your characters would react. But she'll mostly just sit on her behinds and do nothing for the most part. ^^ What would your MC do if he/she has a choice to save his/her friends or his/her family?
Well, it would depend where we are in the story. Early on, her family. Part way through, her friends. By the end, they're the ones dying for her. As it should be. I'm going to borrow one from one of my favourite short stories- Your character is offered a significant amount of money. Not enough to achieve their objective outright, but enough to be extremely helpful. The catch is that if they take this money, someone they do not know will die. The identify of this person will not be revealed to your character until after the transaction is complete and the person is dead. Does your character accept this offer?
Hmmm...they may be concerned about the hapless person that would die... What would your characters do if they saw you having a meltdown?
Laugh. But correct me when I start saying totaly rediculous things. What would your MC do if confronted with a dinosaur?
Omar: Amazing! *starts jotting down notes* Thankfully we're in a protective glass case made by a joint American and British coorperation. Companion: Surely I'm dreaming. Omar: (sprouts wings) Now I must...wake up! Gina! Wake up! (Gina jolts awake. She's lying on a makeshift cot. She sees Omar wiping her down with a wet rag. Next to him is Pvt. Denise of the third Virginian Corp who is holding a bottle of water.) Gina: W-what happened? Pvt. Denise: Heatstroke, ma'am. Omar and I moved you to a shaded area. Here, have some water. What would your MC do if he/she found him/herself being kissed by Queen Elizabeth I?
Taylor/Nicole: Flip out, "aww!" Unknown: Roll with it. What would your MC do if they found herself/him kissed by me?
Omar: Um...thank you. Amos: *kisses you on the lips* Heridon: o__o I'm gay, girl. I like men. Helen: I like women, but not like that, my dear. :3 What would your MC do if he/she...met me while I was trying to figure out what else to say?
Taylor/Nicole: "Uh.." Waits* Unknown: "Hello..." Stares at you* What would your MC do if randomly poofed into the middle of the forest.
Amos: <expletive>!!! Me: Don't worry, Ge- Amos: If you say that George Washington will randomly appear here, take me to his camp, and I hang out with the American army for a bit, I'm going to personally beat you. Me: Shutting up. Omar: *pulls out compass, sketchpad, pencil and climbs up the tallest tree for vantage* Okay, so by my watch...that's east...ah...yes, yes...*draws on sketchpad* If I'm not mistaken, I'm at least thirty miles north of a small fishing village in Ukraine. Helen: *to wrist-com* Where the hell am I? Lindsey: You're in the Amazon Rainforest. Or what's left of it. Lindsey: Only eighty trees from that once grand, vast forest. Tragic. Did you know it was once the most largest rainforest in the world? No other rainforest could- Helen: Well damn, now I'm depressed...*sits on a rock* I'm going to sit here silently for a while, okay, sis? Lindsey: Sure thing. Heridon: Oh! I'm in the woods near my Austin home! I remember that tree house. Your MC is dining with his/her love interest at a fancy resturant. Suddenly, someone barges through the entrance crying out that her baby has been kidnapped by a sinister force because they think the baby is the chosen one. What does your character do?
Kenneth: *Looks up* Um...are you talking to me? Cause, maybe you should call the...*Off date's looks* Um...maybe I can help. Ashwin: Security, escort this lady off the premises please. Shaun: Oh my god. Gale, please, we have to help this woman. Gale: Um, yeah, okay. Let me just give your cousin a call, *Gets cellphone out of purse, much to chagrin of other patrons* Hey, Paul. It's me. Yeah, Shaun's an idiot. Yes, I know you told me so. How hard is it to get directions from your MC to his/her house?
It's easy to find, but she's not exactly going to tell you where it is. What was the last thing your character truly wanted (a tangible object or a general goal) that they were not able to obtain? How did they respond?
Tannan: To be normal again, but he is learning to like living with other freaks like himself. Dakara: to have a home. Delphi: to live with the dragons. Aqua: to be just like her big sister. What weapon does your MC prefer?
Paper football. A few are crammed into his pockets at any given time. Who does your MC have a crush on?
Amos: Sarah Maywalker. She's the daughter of a family friend of the Parrish. She has such a sweet, elegant voice. When she sings... *sighs* It's not fair that Joseph is courting her and not me... Helen: Commander John Torrington. :3 Lindsey: That's the first time I've seen you smile like that. Heridon: Holly Morrison. Suppose your MC is flying a plane over the skies of Scotland. He/she doesn't know/remember how to fly the plane, he/she just knows that the captain of the plane had died of a stroke and he/she was the one to grab the wheels. Next to them is a radio he/she could use to buzz for help. He/she could also land it in the Irish Sea. He/she could also land the plane on the ground by him/her self. Or...another decision? What does he/she do? Why?
Ezekiel - "Let's see... I cannot use the radio (as my voice, or any other part of me, cannot be recorded), I don't don't DON'T want to land in the ocean*... landing on the ground is no fun at all... let's see if I can do a loop-de-loop...." *passengers screaming* *terrified of drowning, even though he can't die. Your main character has been sent into space for whatever reason, s/he is in a space suit and the cables tying him/her to the spacecraft have been cut. S/he is drifting away with no hope of rescue, will run out of oxygen in two days. What is s/he thinking during this time? (This is why I could never do space travel, btw.)
Your main character has been sent into space for whatever reason, s/he is in a space suit and the cables tying him/her to the spacecraft have been cut. S/he is drifting away with no hope of rescue, will run out of oxygen in two days. What is s/he thinking during this time? Flint would wonder why the cable had to go and break. The General said this space craft was state-of-the-art. Probably an Octulian design flaw... he'd think to himself. For the next two days he'd curse the Oculians who built the ship for the General until his dieing breath. Keeping with the space theme: Your MC is named captain of a colony ship bound for the Andromeda galaxy. The engines fail and they are all now stranded in the intergalactic void. Communication and rescue are literally impossible. What's your MC's plan to save the colonists?
*In Chert's office, looking at the blueprint of the ship* Captain Helen Chert: If there are escape pods-. Commander John Torrington: But what if there aren't enough? Some will have to stay onboard. Captain Helen Chert: Dammit...Okay, how much food do we have? Pvt. Leon: Enough for a month, ma'am. Captain Helen Chert: How many colonists to feed? Pvt. Leon: 2,200, ma'am. Captain Helen Chert: *to them all* If we survive this, I believe what happens here will be legend... If Helen Chert found herself into your story, what would you do?
^ I am offended Sir! You didn't add in your blind assassin! Amelia would buddy up to her since they both would most likely find themselves having been kidnapped by Mexican drug runners. Your MC is stuck saving the world for the millionth time... how do they celebrate?
A full triumph through the city of Attis, so citizens can display their contempt for her enemies and admiration for her. As well they should. Someone close to your MC leaks vital information to their antagonist. What do they do when they find out?
Brad is so distrusting he would just shoot the no good sob and move on. Your MC has a sudden attack of a mind blowing phobia he/she never knew they had before what do they do?
Elroy, the blind assassin: AGH! *jumps into Kiuka's arms* Kiuka: O____O Elroy, the blind assassin: SPIDERS!! Kiuka: Elroy, just kill them. Elroy, the blind assassin: Are you kidding? They have eight legs, feel nothing like a normal animal and...and they're poisonus! Amos: AAAAAAGGGHH RATS!! RAAAATTSS!!! *starts banging on cupboard door* GET ME THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF HERE!! AAAAGGGHH!! Jonah Parrish: Jesus! *gets him out* The hell were you doing in there? Don't tell me you put yourself in there to spy on another suspect of yours... Amos: *holding onto him* Rats...rats will get me! I want...*sniffs* I want to go home. Heridon: *sees roaches* HERIDON GRABS A SHOE BOX HERIDON SMASH ROACHES ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE! Holly: ... British Lt. Archie: We'll be crossing the Channel by helicopter. Omar: *goes pale* O-over the Channel? British Lt. Archie: Aye. Omar: L-large body of water? Captain Helen Chert: Snakes? Lindsey: A-yep. One right behind you. *Captain Helen Chert blindly turns around and shoots the crap out of snake* Your MC just realized the foodmart is out of their favorite cuppa tea! What will he/she do!!?
