    Omar: Hmmm...Companion? Hand me my bag...

    Helen Chert: Too big to move? Not for a Devonian!
    Kenthew: *blasts rock into oblivion*

    Amos: *bleep!**bleep!**bleep!**BLEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!*

    Heridon: *uses free hand to call 911* I know, crazy idea, but what can you do?

    Your MC is out on a jog when he/she sees something happening in the skies. What is it, why is it doing this and how does he/she respond?

    It's a plane, clearly having problems and are about to crash land.

    Sharon: Tries to find a phone to call 911.

    Cara: Tries to calculate where the plane is going to hit, then consider calling for help unless there are other people nearby.

    Annie: Moves out of the way.

    Your MC is on a boat far out on the ocean, and there are no other boats nearby. It's too far from the coast for any kind of cell phone reception, so calling for help is out of the question. Suddenly something huge rises from the below the surface... What is it, and how does your MCs deal with it?

    Captain Helen Chert: What the...!?
    *It's a cross between the Kraken, Godzilla, and an eagle*
    Captain Helen Chert: Oh...my...
    Australian Man: *appears over ear* Don't worry, lass. She won't hurt you. Isn't that right, Bellie? *scratches fur*
    Bellie: Mmmmrrrr.....
    Captain Helen Chert: o____O
    Australian Man: Besides, she only eats whales, not humans. C'mon, Bellie, let's get this girl back on land.
    *back on land*
    Australian Man: Name's Edward. Pleasure to meet you, Miss-
    Captain Helen Chert: Helen. Helen Chert.
    Australian Man: Ah, you're the American mercenary my uncle told me about? Bloody famous, you are.
    *Little does Captain Helen Chert knows is that this is the beginning of a huge adventure between her and dear Edward as they journey to do...something!*

    NOTE: Sorry if I caused offense, fellow Australians.

    Your MC is being strangled to death. Who is doing this, how is this happening, why are they doing this and how does your MC get out??

    my Mc is being strangled cuz she stole a classified document that the strangler does not want to get out. she escapes by franticly feeling around for something to defend herself with, preferably a rock, however all she finds is a stick which she thrusts into her attackers eye causing him to jump off her, squeeling like a little girl as she runs with the document still in hand into the woods (that she knows very well) to hide.


    you MC wakes up drunk with a hangover in the middle of a cow field. as he looks around to get his bearings he sees a bull standing 35-40 feet away about to charge.

    why is he there, how did he get there and what does he do

    Sabby: "Warden, wake up.. We have a problem."
    Warden: "You wake up Sabby, and leave me the hell alone." Rolls over onto all fours vomitting. "Ugh. Just... Ugh, Sabby. Why do I ever drink with you?"
    Sabby: "Seriously, there's a bull, it's angry. And I'm wearing a red dress..."
    Warden: Looks up to see a black and white spotted bull stamping it's hooves. "Well, this'll be the only time you ever here me say this Big Sis, but uhm... Strip. And then run away. Fast. I'll uhm.. Stay right here. Maybe throw up s'more. When you lose the bull come back for me please. I think that absinthe lastnight is still working it's magic.." And falls back flat on his face.
    Sabby: Rolls her eyes. "You are such a whimp! Oh! There's a truck. Good." Begins stripping, struggling with the back zipper to her strapless dress.
    Warden: "A truck? Really? Is that how we got here?" He tried sitting up.
    Sabby: "No. You don't remember? You were all over one of Chale's girls. I warned you, but nooOOoo, you just haaadd to have That one." Rolls her eyes at him again.
    Warden: "Then what are you doing here, if I was the idiot last night?" He puked again, wiped his sleeve across his chin.
    Sabby: "You really are obtuse sometimes... What would you be doing if you woke up here, in the middle of nowhere, alone? I'm here to be your McGuyver, and there's our ticket home. So get up you big pansy and lets get away from that bull before it figures I'm as good as a bullfighters flag and charges at me. And try not to puke on yourself. We have a couple hours drive before we hit civilization... You reek enough as it is."


    Your MC has suddenly been ripped form their world- in the middle of doing something- and dropped at random on Earth. What were they doing before they were abruptly taken, and where have they landed? What is the first thing they see upon landing on Earth?

    Omar: I was studying a peice of Egyptian technology until I was taken up. Next thing I knew, I was standing near Mt. Fuji, Japan. I don't know how I got here, but I will find out.

    Captain Helen Chert: Dammit!
    Kenthew: What is it, Miss Chert?
    Captain Helen Chert: Our transporter device is a peice of useless crap, that's what! We were in a hotel in Atlanta, if you remember. Take a guess where we are now.
    Kenthew: High Inverness, capital of the Scottish Highlands?
    Captain Helen Chert: No, the Siberian Empire. Right in front of us is the Siberian army.

    Your MC recieves a note from someone they've never heard before, but the person claims they know your MC's actions and admires them. The person tells the MC through the letter that they are in desperate need of help and want the MC to come. In an effort to incite your MC, there is a good sum of currency enclosed in the letter. What is happening to this person? Why is this happening? How does your MC respond? Why does your MC respond in this fashion?

    Probably a person in need of his psychic services. Like someone trying to communicate with a loved one they lost or something. Angel would probably take the job but not because he cares about helping the person he just wants the money.


    What would your MC do if they were being attacked by zombies?

    Amos: Die...then reanimate into a zombie and zombie-fy Wilkins...then zombie-fy everyone else.

    Omar: Fight valiantly with whatever I can get my hands on.
    Omar's Brother: First person to suggest that I can fight with a Middle Eastern sword gets thrown to the zombie horde.
    Omar: Eli, please, not so rash.

    Captain Helen Chert: Fly away onboard my ship?

    Heridon: *throws self into horde with a knife* FOR HUMAAANNNIIITTTTTYYYYYYY!!!!
    Holly: His sacrifice will never be forgotten.
    Omar: We shall honor it by getting away from here. Follow me, students!
    Holly: Wait, what? We're not even in the same universe!
    Me: He is now! 8D He's a professor in your university.

    What would your MC do if another one of your MC invaded his/her universe and wanted to live there?

    Well, since all my MC's are earth-based except for a handful I sent to Mars in 1990's, and neither group of MC's or characters would really take over one anothers planet, I think this is how it'd go if they ever met:

    Sabby: "What the F**k are You??!" Aims gun at newcomer.
    Felix: "What do you mean? Who the sh*t are you?!" holds hands up, palms out.
    Sabby: "Not 'Who', 'What', and I'm human. So what. The F**k. Are. YOU?!" plants her feet further apart, firming up her hold on the gun.
    Felix: "What do you mean? You saying I'm not human? What the hell?! I was born in Argentina, 1988. How do you think I'm not human?!"
    Warden: "Uhm... Could be 'cause you're eyes are... blacked out, and your skin is.. Uhm.."
    Felix: Looks down at himself, noticing for the first time since leaving Mars his skin was... were those..? Scales? Looks back at Sabby and Warden in horror. "Oh sh*t. Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t! What the F**k happened?! How-"
    Warden: "So, where'd you come from, if you think you're human?"
    Felix: Chuckles. "I was born in Argentina in 1988. I've been on mars for the last 17 years. Ugh."
    Sabby: Begins walking away
    Warden: "Where're you going?"
    Sabby: Turns back to Warden. "On Mars? Really? What does he think? That just because this is post-apocalyptic EARTH, we've become idiots? Mindless scavenging animals? No. He's f**king with us, and I'm done. Have fun with your new pet".
    Felix: "Hey wait, I swear, I really have! Where.. Have you seen anyone else come this way? Dress as I?"
    Warden: "No dude. Just you. And I gotta say, the whole Snake man thing is freaking me out."


    your MC goes back in time to Earth's prehistoric times. What is their first reaction, and what do they do?

    Adalyn - Looks around for a while, at first thinks everything is amazingly cool, but gets deepy unsettled upon seeing signs of much larger life (giant crater footprints, smashed over trees, etc). Also, if she saw some prehistoric-sized cockroach, it'd probably traumatize her for life.

    What would your MC do if he/she woke up to snoring (another person's) at 4 a.m. and found a random drunk homeless person sleeping next to him/her in bed, with the window to the street gaping wide open?

    Izzy- Wakes up, sees the guy, then starts screaming bloody murder and throwing whatever she can at him. This would be especially shocking considering that her bedroom is on the second story of her house.

    Jacob- Looks beside him, sees the guy, and assumes it's a dream before falling back asleep. He has a vivid imagination.

    What would your MC do if they woke up in the middle of the night and saw his/her ex-lover watching them through the window?

    Sabby: *shrugs* Not much else to do except go back to sleep...
    Warden: "Uhh.. Err.. Well I woul-"
    Sabby: "You have to have had someone to be your lover before they could be your Ex-lover Warden. Stop pretending you aren't a virgin."
    Warden: *rolls eyes* "I'll never convince you otherwise, will I?"
    Sabby: *shakes head*


    Bentley: "I hope to hell no one's watching me through my window! It'd mean someone's already gotten in and removed the curtains and blinds... S**t, they're really watching me? F**k." *paranoia increases exponentially*


    Taren: "What?! Buck's out there?"
    Rachel: "You had sex with Buck? Why didn't you ever tell me?"
    Taren: "It was prom and I haven't seen him since and, really? Is it really him out there?" *gets up to peer closer*
    Rachel: "Oh how white bread American you are. Losing your virginity on prom night. Lemme guess, it was in the back seat of his dads Camero too huh?"
    Taren: --silence--
    Rachel: "Oh my GOSH! If my eyes roll any harder they'll pop out of my skull! Why didn't you tell me this Taren?"
    Taren: *Begins climbing out window.*
    Rachel: "Well there's something I thought I'd never see you do... Lost virginity on prom night, and now sneaking out of your own bedroom window."
    Taren: "If that's Buck out there, I've got to talk to him Rachel, I need to."
    Rachel: "What if it's not Buck, Taren. What if it's just some crazy stranger who looks like him? As brave as I normally talk, please don't go. This doesn't feel right."
    Taren: "Sorry Rach, you know I wouldn't do this at all if I didn't have a gut feeling I need to do this. If it is Buck, I'll never forgive myself for missing this opportunity." *drops to ground below window*


    Your MC just found out their pregnant (if they're male, they're pregnant too!), who is the father/mother? And what do they do?

    Omar, Amos, Heridon, and Commander John Torrington: WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTT!?!?!
    Amos: You're stark raving mad, is what you are!
    Heridon: Seriously? Seriously?
    Omar: No. Just...no.
    Commander John Torrington: I'm going to have to agree with that blind, 18th-century boy.

    What would your MC do if you were Worf (from The Next Generation)'s kid?

    Omar would probably make it so that I'm plunging into half-submerged ancient temples even though I will do no such thing.

    Amos would probably make me completely deaf and blind as he thinks that'd be a hell of a lot more challenging than writing a story about a deaf or blind character.

    Heridon? Put me in a baseball team and make me a baseball hero.

    Captain Helen Chert would make me the commander of my own ship who routinely kicks alien arse and joins her when she kicks alien arse.

    What would your MC do if they were forced to participate in an Aztec sacrifice?

    Izzy: "What do you mean I have to be a sacrifice to please the gods?!? As far as I'm concerned, there are no gods! And if there are, then all they did was make every waking moment of my life hell!"
    Aztec people turn towards Jacob.
    Jacob: "Well don't look at me! I don't want to do it either! Why should I have to die?" Grabs Izzy by the arm and they both run like hell.

    What would your MC do if they were stuck on a train that was about to run off a cliff.

    Captain Helen Chert: Activate a force shield that will prevent the train from going over. As added help, Kenthew will use his magics in an effort to slow the train down.

    Heridon: Wait, I know just what to do. I played through something like this in Red Dead Redemption! Gotta find that lever to stop the train! *jumps into train engine and pulls lever back John Marston style*

    Your MC had just dueled his/her former best friend across a steel mill. After thirty minutes of former best friend trying to murder your MC, he/she maims said former best friend. Suddenly, the former best friend catches on fire and is horribly burnt. What does your MC do? Why does he/she do this?

    Nitesh- Drops his wand and searchs for a hose, water anything... then remembering he can Orb grabs the guy and orbs him into the river.

    Magnus- watchs with a look of indifferance until the last of the flames die out. (he prolly started the blaze...)

    Trinity- Puts out the flames, calls 911 and walks away warning the vic that if he screws with her again she will let him f*ing die next time.

    Someone has a crush on your MC, but they are already with someone else (happily or not) what do they do?

    As in someone has a crush on your MC, but your MC is already with someone else?

    Ignore them. Fans are a dime a dozen.

    How does your MC stay in shape, if at all?

    Christian is into boxing, so he does that.

    Angel doesn't really exercise and he has a terrible diet.

    Josh runs laps and he eats healthy.

    What would your MC do if someone of the same gender as your MC was coming onto them?

    Omar: I have a wife and children.

    Heridon: Look, man, I like you, but not that much. Now let's go to Calighans.

    Captain Helen Chert: Careful, soldier. We can have mutual respect for each other, but that's it. It's just safer for the two of us, believe me.

    Amos: We'll be friends, okay?

    What would you do if your MCs suddenly pulled a Toy Story on you and actively found a way to get back to you after you've moved far away from them?

    Well, I'm far away from them anyhow. The better part of a thousand miles and over a century away. But I suppose one I'd have to try to rehabilitate one to functioning in this world, and the other I'd direct to the channels of power and prestige he's accustom to and thrives in. Along with apologizing to them for the wretched zeitgeist they were born into. I couldn't help em much otherwise; I ain't got no room in my 1 bedroom apt for them anyhow. Oh, and I'd probably crack a brew with em too I guess, although they're not exactly ideal company. It's the least I could do.


    MC's best friend gets really drunk and starts hitting on them. What do they do?

    Sabby: "I don't have a best friend."
    Warden: "Me neither."
    Sabby: *looks at Warden with horror*
    Warden: "Sad, isn't it?"
    Sabby: "Oh crap."
    Warden: "What?" *looks around room*
    Sabby: "I think you're my best friend, Warden."
    Warden: *returns Sabby's look of horror with is own*


    Taren: "Uhm... Rach, I love you, but like a sister..? I can't do this."
    Rachel: "Ahhh c'mawwwn Tary-bary," *Giggles maniacally* "I know you like me. I see you check me out awwwwllll the time." *finishes in sing-song voice*
    Taren: "Stop that." *walks away* "I hope you have cash for a cab, Rach! Cause I'm not driving you home like this."


    What would your MC do if... Their usually jam-packed schedule was suddenly cleared up for the whole day, allowing them to do anything they wanted (Or nothing at all)?

    They'd pretty much do nothing at all. XD

    What would your MC do if he/she met Joseph Merrick (AKA, The Elephant Man)

    I'd love to be able to say that my MCs would be perfectly polite, but I simply can't lie.

    Jacob & Izzy in unison: "Holy crap..."

    What would your MC do if he/she (just off the top of my head) were on the Titanic as it was sinking?
