    Cara: "Bah, parachutes? I hate them. I was never meant to fly."
    Sharon: "Hah, the all-mighty Burger Queen is afraid of heights?"
    Cara: "Standing on top of a building is heights. Bungiejumping is heights. This is madness!"
    Annie: "I think she's scared." *giggles*
    Cara: "Am not! Just saying we don't need the parachutes, that's all."
    Sharon: "What, you want to jump without one? Go ahead!"
    Annie: "Maybe she needs a push." *gives Cara a teasing push*
    Cara: "Hey!!! No pushing!"
    Nyki: "What are you afriad of? Just close your eyes, lean forward and there you go."
    Cara: "Yeah, it could be fun. For two minutes, then you hit the ground!"
    Sharon: "That's called physics. You might have heard of it?"
    Cara: "You really do want me to jump, don't you?"
    Annie: "It was your suggestion to begin with, if I recall correctly."
    Cara: "As a joke..."
    Nyki: "This is riduculous. Tally-ho!" *jumps without parachute*
    Annie *giggles*: "Tally-ho? Seriously?"
    Sharon: "Who is she anyway? A friend of yours?"
    Cara: "No idea. But... um... shouldn't we try to catch her? She forgot the parachute."
    Sharon: "Go ahead."
    Cara: "I meant you..."
    Annie: "Ah, screw this." *jumps after Nyki with a spare parachute*
    Sharon: "See you on the ground, wimp!" *follows Annie out the plane*
    *Cara sighs heavily, curse her stupid plan and jumps*

    Your MC has joined a band of pirates. Why?

    Angel would panic and try to pick the lock

    Josh would try and remember how he ended up there in the first place.

    Christian would probably assume he'd had too much to drink the night before and go back to sleep.

    What would your MC do if they found out that their partner was really a spy who was hired to kill them?

    I think my MC would be more surprised that he had a partner, than the fact someone wanted him dead. He's a bit solitary.

    What is your main character's biggest fear?

    Ah, finally a simple question. However, even though it is simple, it's not exactly easy to answer.

    Izzy's fear is that no one can love her. Due to her circumstances in the story, she's basically been alone all of her life. She has a slew of problems ranging from a psycho stalker/rapist ex-boyfriend, to a hallucination of herself that she has occasional conversations with. She's finally met someone who she thinks she may truly have a chance with, but the fear that he may reject her if he finds out about all of her problems holds her back.

    All of those fears put together make her biggest fear: The fear that she is truly unwanted and that she'll never find her solace.
    ----------
    Oh, and if anyone is curious as to my previous answers regarding Izzy, as opposed to this one: those answers (and future ones) are written under the assumption that all the events in my story have already occurred. Just throwing that out there. :D
    ----------
    Oops! I'd better edit this to add a question. What does your MC do if they are suddenly transported to a cavern several miles underground?

    (Funny, my MC actually is an author.)

    Lucas Kaminski is writing a novel about a little girl named Lily, who wakes up in NYC, except everybody is gone. It is her job to uncover the truth before it is too late..

    What is Your MC's fear?

    Captain John Torrington: Loss. Five years ago I lost my parents, my wife, and my child in a ship accident. On a ship I was officer of. I failed them. I failed myself. I will not let that happen again! Helen, *chuckles* damned clever girl. I think she's too bold, too brash. She could get killed and I will not let that happen. I-I won't loose the people I love again! I won't be helpless! I will NOT be forced to stand there and watch my loved ones burn when I am more than perfectly capable of helping them! Saving them!

    Your MC is becoming controlling of others, how does his/her love respond?

    *wack* Annie: "Cara, what the f*ck?!"
    Cara *shakes fist* "My city, my rules. Got that?"
    Annie: "I wouldn't even be here if you did a decent job!"
    Cara: *punches Annie in the face again*
    Annie: "Stop punching me, you psycho!"
    Cara:: "I'm in charge here! Not you!"
    Annie: "Bite me, blondie!" *draws gun and aims it at Cara*
    Cara: *draws combat knife* "Sure you want to go there?"
    Annie: *tosses gun and draws her own knife* "Bring it, b..."
    Sharon; "Whoa, we are all friends here! Relax!"
    Cara: "She started it."
    Annie: "Yeah, you couldn't even do that."
    Cara: "Do I have to get violent?"
    Annie: *laughs* "What else is new..."
    (note: these are professional idiots. Do not try this at home.)

    Your MC forgot his/her love interest's birthday. How do they make it up? And keep in mind this forum is family friendly.

    Lucy doesn't even know Ashton's birthday, he's 500 years old and I don't think he likes celebrating it all that much anyway. xD

    Your MC is drowning, who do you think would save him, if anyone?

    Sharon: "Good news is the terrorsquid is dead. Bad news is we're miles away from shore, the squid destroyed our boat and we have no way to call for help. Nice going, Cara."
    Cara: "It wasn't my fault! It the damn thing had had the decency of dying when it was supposed to, none of this would have happened. But the mission is over. That's what matters."
    Sharon: "So us drowning out here in the middle of nowhere is fine with you?"
    Cara: "Relax, we won't drown. We are both wounded, and the squid are liteally blown to pieces. With all the blood here, I'm sure sharks will show up pretty soon."
    Sharon: "Great. So we won't drown. We'll be eaten by sharks."
    Cara: "Unless we die of hypothermia first, of course."
    Sharon: "Give me one reason why I shouldn't drown you myself first?"
    Cara: "Because you love me?"
    Sharon: "Yeah, but... crap, when you said we'be together for better or worse, you really meant it. This is the 'worse' part..."
    Cara: "Look on the bright side. If this was a movie, Annie would come to the rescue any minute now."
    Sharon *sarkastic*: "Righh... that helps..."
    Cara: "And if this was a B-movie, the sharks would show up, then Annie would show up in the last second. With a rocket launcher."
    Sharon: *chuckles* "And if this was a Michael Bay-movie, the sharks would also have rocket launchers. And flame throwers. And ninjas. You know, to fight the aliens."
    Cara: "Kiss before we die?"
    *Sharon gives Cara a quick kiss on the lips*
    Sharon: "Get us out of here somehow, and I'll give you another one. *grins* And I'll let you decide where..."

    Your MC decides to go to the movies. What movie do they watch, what snack do they get and how do they react to the jerk who refuses to switch off the sound on the cell phone and gets text messages every few minutes?

    My MC would probably watch something violent or a romance if his girlfriends with him. They would probably get popcorn and drinks. He would snap the jerks phone in half then probably get in a fight with him.

    Your MC has died, whats they're heaven like?

    Depends on their religious beliefs. I have some main characters that are Jewish and some main characters that are Muslim.
    Heridon: I'm the Jewish guy. What, you didn't know this already?

    Your MC has decided he/she wishes to speak his mind to you on some matters. What does he/she talk about?

    Cara: "Hey, WD! Of all the people in the world you could pair me up with, why did you choose this nimrod?"
    Sharon: "Because the story needed a smart person? Someone with good looks? Someone mature and responsible? Someone who's not afraid of a bit of hard work?"
    Cara: "So again, why did he send you?"
    Sharon: "Sarah Connor was busy, I guess."
    Cara: "Sarah who?"
    Sharon: "Guess we found out the brain part." *giggles*
    Cara: "There's a fine line between smart and smarta..."
    Sharon: "And you're not even close to the smart side."
    Cara: "Gah, this is getting nowhere. Can we go kill someone, please?"
    Sharon: "There's the responsible thing..."
    Cara: "Whatever..."
    Sharon: "And the hard work. That's three out of four. Want to try for the jackpot?" *giggles*

    She's want to be in some trippy fantasy, like Sucker Punch or The Golden Compass.

    If your MC worked caring for cats and dogs full-time at a groomer's or pet daycare or no-kill shelter, how would he/she like it and how good at it would he/she be? Would the animals like your MC, and why or why not?

    (What's with the really short answers, people? Where's the fun in that?) :p

    Annie: "Great. Just great. Twenty hyperactive, incontinent puppies, and I'm the only one at work. *angry* Will you stop wetting the floor? Damn it! *annoyed* No, don't jump me with wet paws, don't even.... ah, hell. Yes, you are cute. Yes, you like me. Stop licking my face, I'm trying to work! And great, another wet spot on the floor. Just great.... the wall? How the hell did you wet the wall? You did that on purpose, you little.... no, don't lick my hands, I am not your momma! And we have a number two emergency. Of course we do." *groans* You two, stop fighting! Those aren't... great, just great."

    Your MC has received some really bad news about a close friend. What is the news, and how do they react?

    Thomas would laugh and dismiss it as a joke, a misunderstanding, anything but the truth. And then he'd get very scared and cover that up with rage and push through to see the damage for himself (eg if someone he loved got hurt or something). From then on, probably continual denial while pacing back and forth nearby.

    As for Josh, he wouldn't want to see the damage for himself. He'd avoid it at all costs, but unlike Thomas, he wouldn't deny it. He'd just tremble and cry alone at night.

    What would your MC do if someone he/she hated came to ask for their forgiveness?

    Izzy would probably respond with something along these lines:

    "You want forgiveness? Yeah, right. I wanted you not to be such an a-hole to me, but I didn't get that either, did I? Now get out of my sight before I do something you'll regret!"

    What would your MC do if someone they hated was in control of his/her future?

    ^^^Ohhh.... That's good...^^^

    Well, let's see... Tanner absolutely hates his father, so if he found out that he could control his future, Tanner would probably try and kill his father with even more drive than regular. If he didn't have a hope of doing that, then he'd at least try and kill himself. He hates being in someone else's power, so it's only natural for him to try and escape such a fate. He knows if he doesn't have a choice, then he's nothing but a soulless carcass for his father to abuse. He's been there once, and he's as sure as H*** not going to go there again.

    Your MC is stuck with a somewhat serious wound, such as he/she/it is bleeding out slowly and painfully. His/Her/Its only options are to either get to the nearest hospital or town, even though they know they will be in danger while there, or to travel longer for a safe haven, but risk dying of the wound. What do they do? And no cheating with ultra-fast regeneration!

    My MC doesn't trust strangers, and doesn't understand how modern medicine works, so she'd probably try to bind the wound as best she could and get to the safe haven so she could get help from friends.

    Your MC eats an oyster, and unexpectedly finds a pearl. What does he/she do?

    Keep it, probably. Heridon might shelve it and, when asked where he got that pearl, say how he nearly swallowed it eating an oyster.

    What would your MC do if a horrific earthquake split his/her town in two, buildings on fire, etc, and they have no idea where their love interest/family/friends are??

    lol good question... My main character really varies on her moods, sometimes she can be random, and really depends on what main character you're refering to lol.

    Here goes:

    Kouji looked around him as his entire dojo had split into two, his initial thought had been to run inside and check if everyone was still alive or had survived. It had been two hours since the earthquake struck and a warning had been posted on the local radio a second impact would hit soon.

    Kouji looked at his black gi pants with a signature of a dragon, now covered with dust. Perhaps he'd be consumed in the dust himself?

    Kouji shook his head then felt his head reminding himself not to be rediculous. Being 17 with a second dan you'd think he'd be able to house kick a falling lamp post?

    Looking back at his dojo he sighed as two students had been training inside, he rubbed his head at what he would say to the parents and his Grandmaster... if they were still alive...

    Looking at his Katana Kouji remembered that he could slice through anything he believed.
    "Tch stupid old Grandmaster and his lectures... as if pulling my katana out and slicling through the earthquake will solve my problem with my students and the rest of the city."

    Kouji nethereless pulled out his blade, imagining in his mind that a steady flow of chi rushed through his veins, stepping back he focused all his chi to the sword. On opening his eyes he chanted "Dragon rush!"
    All around him the buildings collapsed... which Kouji had inticipated broodingly... what happened next he didnt count on.

    The city was starting to rebuild! Bit by bit every building including his dojo had started to rebuild. He looked as his dojo was being rebuilt, along his two students inside the main hall.

    Kouji took a step back then jumped inside the dojo to retrieve his two students: Alexis and Mika. Both looked at him in amazement but their amazement didnt last long before Kouji slapped them on their foreheads with the hilt of his katana.

    "Idiots! I thought i told you to evacuate and stay underneath a table! What am I going to do with you both!"

    Kouji sighed as deep inside he did care exceedingly about his students... in his own irratable way. Then he sighed as he looked at his sword then remembered what his Grandmaster Taiken had said.

    With good intent does the sword do wonders Kouji... not every sword is designed to slice once, after all; swords are two sided if you look closely

    "Tch... well you look at that, Grandmaster can give constructive lectures, good for him"
    Kouji smiled to himself, a smile rarely seen by his students then walked off with them to a safer destination.


    What would your MC do if they were ever transported to their favourite TV show or anime/manga and how would they react or respond?

    Cara and Annie doesn't watch TV, so they don't have a favorite TV-show. Nyki is from another world, so I don't have a clue if they even have TVs there. (I never asked.) :p That leaves Sharon.

    Sharon's favorite TV-show is Oz, a prison-series with a large male cast (and some male nudity, of course.) She obviously wouldn't be an inmate as it's a male prison, but there are female guards there, a female nurse and so on. Sharon would probably be a guard. It would allow her to carry a big gun, a taser and a few other interesting ways to hurt people, and as it's a prison, she might have to gain some respect now and then. Well, frequently. Someone raises their voice to her? Taste taser, scumbag! Someone looking at her wrong? Tasertime. Someone complainging about anything? Complain about this! *taaaaser* Someone beating the crap out of someone else? She'll sit back and watch. Hey, they are violent inmates. What do you expect? :p

    Your MC is drunk, and a bouncer threaten to throw him/her out of the bar. How do the MC react?

    Sabby: "I'd leave and go find Bentley. Anything that guys does is always entertaining."
    Warden: "It's 3am, Sabby."
    Sabby: "So?"
    Warden: "What if he's asleep?"
    Sabby: "I'll draw explicit pictures on his forehead with a sharpie. And then wait for him to wake up, camera ready."
    Warden: "You're so juvenile sometimes."
    Sabby: "What about you?"
    Warden: "Well for one thing, I wouldn't get so blasted a bouncer has to kick me out. But if that were to happen? I'd just curl up in my car and sleep it off."

    Taren: "I've never been to a bar before, and I get kicked out at my first one? What the heck man!?"
    *Is told to leave premises*
    Taren: "Alright alright, I'm going. Don't have a cow dude."
    *Is asked if she has a safe way to get home*
    Taren: "My room is two ladders up, 50 paces left, and one ladder down. Or is it up? Which way are we oriented right now?"
    *Is told no matter which way they are oriented to mars, the station doesn't rearrange it's stairs and ladders.*
    Taren: "Maybe I did have more than I thought..."

    Bentley: "I'd leave and go find out what Sabby's up to. That chick is nuuuuts... And always up ot no good... Someone's gotta look out for her."

    Your MC decides they don't want a side kick, or DO want a sidekick (if they don't already), and ask you (the writer) to create/change/erase a sidekick. What do you do?

    Cara: "Hey WD, I think the sidekick you gave me broke." *looks at Sharon* "I need a new one."
    WD: "What seems to be the problem?"
    Cara: "Hah, where do I even begin! She's a loud, rude, lazy pervert! Do you have any idea how much food she manage to stuff in her mouth on a daily basis? I swear she gets hungry while eating! And I do have to remind you why the bike has two flat tires?"
    Sharon: "I would normally disagree with Cara even just for fun, but I totally agree with her on this. I need a new sidekick. One that doesn't sleep all day, never does the laundry, never cooks, never cleans anything and barely understands the concept of a shower!"
    Cara: "I do know how to use a shower, idiot. The only one allergic to water is your toothbrush. Yes, people notice!"
    Sharon: "Sweetie, when you remove your pants, they shouldn't keep standing after you have left the room. Wash the damn things!"
    Cara: "Oh, dear. Little miss have-no-deodorant is upset?"
    WD: "Alright, alright, calm down. Can't you see you are perfect for each other?"
    Cara and Sharon in union: "We hate each other!"
    WD: "True, but that's the beauty of it. You are both idiots. Why not use your idiocy for the greater good?"
    Sharon: "Do I get a new slave or what?"
    Care: "Sidekick."
    Sharon: "Yeah, that's what I said. Sidekick."
    Cara: "No, you said slave! And do I have to remind you that I recruited you?"
    Sharon: "By kidnapping me!"
    Cara: "If anyone's the slave here, it's you."
    WD: *groans* "You are free to quit if you want to. I can make the story about Annie instead..."
    Cara: "You wouldn't..."
    WD: "I would..."
    Sharon: "Are you threatening us? We are the main charactres here!"
    WD: "So? I can make it about Annie and Nyki instead if you don't behave."
    Cara: *groans* "Fine. I'll try to work with that nimrod. But she better behave!"
    Sharon: "Look who's talking, stupid! You are the one misbehaving!"
    Cara: "And what did you call your little moonlighting last night while we were stuck on red light? Proper behavior?"
    Sharon: "They started it..."
    Cara: "Just because they played a song called full moon, it didn't mean you should..."
    Sharon: "Then why did you laugh when I did it?"
    Cara *blushes* "I was caught in the moment, or something."
    *WD lets them argue, knowing they could make a great team eventually if they don't kill each other first*

    Your MC is tired of the same, old story you have been working on and wants to change the scenery and genre entirely by recreating a famous story. What story is it, and how does it end up?
