The vigilante serial killer would vote for Hillary and then rig the election just to make sure The hero would vote for John Kasich in the primaries, thereby making Trump the Republican candidate, and the hero would begrudgingly vote for Hillary in the general Which secondary character would your MC most want you to write a spin-off around?
Isake: Well, Kilnir's taking lead when i leave here anyway, so Advisor Ihsahn, I'd like him to tell a little about our past. If your characters found themselves in an ice cream parlour, what would they have?
Okay, I'm going to pick the biggest seven, is that too many? Oscar: scoop of vanilla, scoop of chocolate. Luke: strawberry sorbet. Misty: honeycomb. Marcus- mint chocolate. Amita- coffee. Rochelle- cookies and cream. Hailie- caramel.
My MC did try suicide, in the form of refusing healing. Healing is a cooperative action and he didn't cooperate (it nearly worked). He did it because he's a shapeshifter that had his cover blown. He's of a type that takes friendships very seriously, and after having "the mask removed", he assumed there would be, among other things, a very angry and complete rejection of him. What saved him was when the person he worked with most closely came and basically said I forgive you. That's when he....sorta got distracted from the "go away and leave me alone to die" attitude. oops! forgot question. um..... so... you're taking, say, a train trip somewhere. You find out that at the next stop, your compartment thingie area is about to take on your MC. How do you warn/inform the other people in the area of what's coming?
What's to warn them of? Really people should be fine unless they're homophobes who won't like to see Oscar and Luke kiss.
^ Damn it, you beat me to it! I was gonna reply as: "Most of my MCs are just regular humans, so I would assume most would think they were going to either a sci-fi convention or a Medieval Renaissance fair. I would warn the fantasy MCs to not use any form of magic though. Really, unless the people onboard had issues with disabled folks, I don't think my MCs have anything to worry about. Now, if a horned cat creature walked in, yeah, I'd have to intervene before all hell broke loose." Your MC has found him/herself astonished at something they've never seen before. What is it, and what do they think of it?
Ooh, what's the first place your MC would go for comfort? And the last place they want to be that they do end up in frequently?
Oscar: I'm fascinated but uncomfortable. I've never seen one, only shitty scribbles on desks at highschool, fuckers. It's a bit ugly to me. Why this is attractive I'll never know. It's even weirder than boobs. I don't think I'll forget the image of a vagina. But I want to.
You can find a lot of comfort on a battlefield when you are alone out there without support i.e. distraction of your own troopers. Look at it right way round: Just kill or be killed. No choices to make, no people to hurt for. And I don't want to think about the last place I want to be. No. Forget that it exists people. I did, too. When has been the last time your MC has cried? And under what circumstances?
Amos Garnier: "I think it's when Wilkins' wife -- my foster mother -- passed away from the wasting disease. We both cried the hardest, though I think I was more visible... I was eight when it happened." Kevin McKinley: "When my Dad and I found a stray dog that was very ill. Took it to the vet but..." <shakes his head> "Didn't make it..." Mishu Jerni: "When I was betrayed by those I thought I could trust the most... Yeah, it was kind of rough..." When was the last time your MC felt like the world actually made sense -- he/she felt like he/she had all the answers, things were going perfectly?
Appendix: Ouch, did you have to pose this specific question??? Oh lets see. I am speaking now from a dream that doesn't make sense, because it mustn't make sense. Would be too horrible otherwise. Anyway. There were the dunes, there was my beautiful wife, my daughter and my son who just had learned to walk. The sun stood low, just before winter would come in and we had awakened in our tent into a new day. And I will now stop dreaming. What is the thing your MC craves most?
If the "what's to warn them of" is in regard to my MC and not in regard to warning people of your incoming MC..... you'd have to know the context/story of my MC. This shapeshifter created a human form and joined society with the claim that he was about 50 years old and had a back history (conventional, nothing exotic), had this experience, had parents and at least one sibling, lived here, belonged to this faith, etc. And now they found out none of that was true. And no homophobes need apply. The guy he worked with does happen to be happily married to a woman, and has no romantic interest at all with the shapeshifter/MC.
What is the thing your MC craves the most? I want to know if my path is the right one. (if by crave you mean for food then horse stew with sweet potatos! What would your MC say to you(the writer of his/her story)?
What would your MC say to you(the writer of his/her story)? Amos Garnier: "Excellent, I like what you're doing. Just please don't make me too much of a dick. Also, I'm not this...'Matt Murdoch' guy, I don't have fancy powers or anything, so don't make me fight off fully-grown powerful men with my bare hands, run on walls or dodge things I could have no way of knowing is coming at me. I'm assuming this is supposed to be a historic fiction/mystery set in Colonial America, not a historical-urban fantasy work with magic. If it's the latter, feel free. If not, please don't." Mishu Jerni: "Are you trying to make my life as difficult as possible? No, really, are you doing everything possible to make my life difficult? Why don't you just give me cancer and a stroke that leaves half my body paralyzed why you're at it!! Coming from a guy whose half-blind and mostly deaf, this is very startling! I would've thought they'd taught you by now that disabled people don't like that. I don't like that. Just because I've got problems doesn't make me a wilting wallflower that needs a strong, abled-bodied person to protect me." Helen Chert: "Just please don't fall into the sci-fi clichés or make me pork half the Galaxy, OK? Also, I had a brief skim through your notes and I'd ask that you scrap away the whole 'captured by aliens and tortured when she was a cadet' thing. Reeks of too much drama for the sake of drama to my eyes." <takes out pen> "In fact, if you don't mind, I'd like to add some more notations here..." Mike Wolfletter: "Am I even around anymore? Hello? Helloooooo? Remember me? Yeah, remember me? Your outlaw? Irish? Chip on his shoulder, spends his days shooting wine glasses in beat-up bars? Remember me? Why you focusing on these punks when you could be hangin' out with me? Don't tell me you're too damned old for this! No one's too old for a good ol' fashioned Western yarn about an outlaw tearing across the American Wild West shooting up bad guys and learning the meaning of life and shit." <pauses> "Christ, feels like I'm talking to a mule here..." Kevin McKinley: "I'm not your wish fulfillment, dude. Stop treating me like I'm you in an alternate universe! I'm my own person, with my own dreams and desires. Stop making me your damned mouthpiece for your damned philosophies! You're not some magical guru, shocking as it may be. Just...just stop it, man! STOP!!" <snatches my story> "What is this shit? What is this shit?!" What advice would your MCs give to another author (any author you choose) about their characters and story?
William squinted at Link. After all, it was a strange question to ask. 'You'll have to forgive me,' he said, 'but I don't know too much about writing. I'm more of a salesman, actually. Well, I was a salesman. Things have rather changed for me lately. But anyway, I have to ask, what on earth made you think I could talk about writing?' What would your MC do if faced with a beggar aggressively plying his trade?
My original MC actually spends the entire story convinced that the world makes perfect sense as it is: she and her friends are the good guys, there are bad guys, she and her friends save the day by killing the bad guys. Simple. My new main character last felt that way a few years before the story started: she'd been raised in a fundamentalist Christian family, couldn't understand her family's denial of scientific and moral realities and why they cared about dogma more than people. When she was about 14 an interfaith center was built in her town (that her family tried unsuccessfully to block), and she quickly found that she felt more connected to the Muslim fellowship and converted. Her family disowned her, but she moved in with one of the families that she'd met and lived with them for about a year. She wished that her birth family could've been better people, but the world as a whole made sense. Until she turned 15. She was kidnapped, spent 5 years enduring every torture imaginable, and even when she and the other captives were rescued, she could not wrap her head around how she was supposed to feel about a serial killer caring about them so much and fighting so hard to protect them despite being more excited about death and cruelty than even the original captors had been. Surprisingly, both of these characters actually crave the same thing: they want to be as close as possible to as many people as possible, and they want to live each day knowing exactly what their lives will look like tomorrow. I can't imagine that any of them would have anything good to say, but I know for absolute certainty that the serial killer would be furious with me for making the antagonists hurt so many innocent people and I should probably be running now (even though it wouldn't work because she is a super-villain who can run an entire kilometer in just one minute ) I'm not completely caught up on the most recent Dresden Files, but my serial killer would identify very closely with Harry Dresden and would be encouraging Jim Butcher to let him get in Murphy's and/or Molly's pants already and what is taking him so long. And to strangle Queen Mab and Nicodemus to death with their own entrails at some point. Or possibly each others'. ("Just when I thought I was out...") My serial killer would give him whatever he asked for because she could always steal more later, my lead hero would bring him home and try to help him find work. Your MC wakes up to find that s/he had body-swapped with his/her worst enemy in their sleep and is in the enemy's home. What does s/he try to do first?
(This is kind of tough since my "enemy" is a whole military corporation but I'd assume he would be the leader if this happened) He would disband the company and have all the bases destroyed ending the civil war. What would your MC do if you showed up in their story as another character?
Villain Protagonist: at first, she would just be disappointed that I'm asexual, but then she would love finding out that I'm a fellow Browncoat Hero Protagonist: I'm not actually sure how much we have in common besides a joke I came up with about religious tolerance, and even then she would agree with the idea but might or might not laugh at the joke itself If your MC came up with a story that s/he wanted to write, what would it most likely be about?

I've decided I should answer with both consistently from now on, seeing as the're both the narrator. So I would add to my earlier answer about new things that Luke would see something new in another country. And he would be excited to finally be going overseas. Dumpster diving: Oscar: Good books that are in perfectly good condition. Why the hell would you throw these out? Luke: a bunch of knick-knacks that are exactly the same as the ones my parents have!
Depends how you describe career. Irrynhin once aspired to be a translator. And look into what mess that got him Which kind of situation would inspire your MC to laugh uproariously?
Angel would laugh uproariously if you told her that a man she didn't know would strip her naked, clean her, and change her chamber pot for an entire week. Clara would laugh if you told her that she would die suspiciously and her spirit would be encased in a white cats eyes forever Syraphina would laugh if you told her that a filthy green orc huntard could possibly defeat her in a battle Joshua would laugh if you told him that he ran all that dam way and the fireball would be extinguished by melting hail
