What would your character do in the above situation?

: Only doing Ran for this one, since it sort of happens. Too bad Dad made a Face–Heel Turn... Ouch.

The next character wakes up one morning and finds out they have nothing to eat for breakfast.

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~Madrugada

Tash and Riff have gone through this often enough it wouldn't phase them unless there HAD been enough for breakfast when they went to sleep. They'd then be confused and angry, but not at each other because they've been friends for about 22 years now and have been travelling with one another for 15 of those years.

Either way they'd go hunting/fishing and call it a morning.

Your next character wakes to find themselves married with three children. If already married with any number of children, it's a completely different family. How do they react?

Xavier: Hug the kids, kiss his new wife and sit down to breakfast. After that, he'd leave for "work" and never return.

Your character experiences a sudden epiphany. Do they share it or keep it to themselves?

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

Cora: It happened, and she kind of kept it to herself for a while mostly because she was too embarrassed to admit to it.

Ran: Shares it, without a doubt, and then debates it enthusiastically with her roommates.

'The next character wakes up to find themselves locked in a library.

Mathias: OK, that's the last time I go out drinking at all! Until next week that is.

Situation: Your character gets Squashed Flat like a cartoon.

Most of my characters would be dead, since they don'tlive in any world with that kind of physics. Maybe some near-immortal ones could survive.

something

Benny thinks it's pretty cool. He rolls himself into a tube shape and rolls across the floor screaming "Wheeee!"

Edward attempts to inflate himself back up by breathing in really hard.

Catherine freaks out and cries for help.

Your character sees their future self being attacked by an even older future self. Who's side do they go on?

Lugar was a wraith, a shadow, so he leaves no impression in time or the places he'd visited. Whatever role he played in the world he visited and did something in would be replaced by something or someone else by the mortals' minds who saw or interacted with him. In other words, as soon as he moves on from a world, he never existed in the one he left behind. The problem would not have existed for him, since he has no "past" or "future" self.

Freya would freak, but he should know better than to interfere. Should.

Miss Nguyen? She would do her best to stop them and asked why they were fighting, all for the sake of self-preservation.

Your character gets their most memorable "The Reason You Suck" Speech they've ever received, in which the speaker in question is immensely offensive but being completely true. Their reaction?

Ace : " I did what I had to do according to the circumstances, knowledge, and wisdom I had at the time. My motives were good and my conscience is clear. Can you say the same?"

Your character must pass for a member of the opposite gender.

Benny puts a bow in his hair. "Done"

Edward mixes together a magic potion that will alter his DNA to become that of a girl.

Catherine cuts her hair, dons a fake mustache, and speaks in a low voice.

Your character stumbles across a city made up entirely of their favorite snack/food item.

Ace: "Why would anyone build a town out of tomatoes? Oh crap, I must be hallucinating again. ’’

If your character’s life has changed significantly either at the beginning of, or over the course of the story what one thing (tangible or intangible) from their old life would they most want to have back.

Both Leo and Jennifer would want to be be with their families again. The difference is that Leo's family is dead, and Jennifer ran away from hers and it's the only thing in her life she truly regrets.

Your character is approached with a contract to kill someone they have never met.

All my characters: “no thanks, already got a job”.

Your character and you yourself switch lives for 1 day.

Thom: YES! *picks pen* Now you'll know what being the Cosmic Chew Toy does actually feel like, all the time! MWHA MWHA MWHA MWHA

Your character finds emself suddenly having to substitute the teacher of last year's class (ie.: 4th grade if your character is in 5th grade)

EDIT: corrected Spivak pronoun

Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?

What does "eyself" mean? I guess you meant himself.

Well his first course of action would be to try to reject the job since he doesn't have good enough grades to teach and enough common sense to know it. But if he HAS to I guess he would prepare the classes beforehand to prevent himself from screwing things up badly.

Yeah, I now that's kind of boring but practical, but don't like writting characters without common sense.

A stranger gives your character a briefcase and tells him to no open it, then runs away and a few seconds later three guys asks him for a guy with the characteristics of said stranger.

I'm not a native english speaker, please forgive my bad grammar and misspells.

Nearly all my characters were either in Kindergarten or College when TEOTWAWKI occurred. All the college students could easily teach freshmen classes in their area of expertise.

It would depend on the vibe the got from the first guy and the other guys. Ace (and a couple others) may even pray silently and ask for a sign. It would boil down to who they thought was the good guy in this situation.

Your character loses his only pair of shoes in a freak accident involving a swamp.

edited 4th May '11 7:27:43 PM by HistoryMaker

Benny would go barefoot. He doesn't mind getting his feet dirty. Shoes tend to bother him anyway.

Edward would dive back into the swamp until he gets his shoes back. Do you know how much those shoes cost?

Catherine would go to the shoe store immediately and get a clean pair.

Your character opens up their closet door and a skeleton falls out.

Cora: *girly shriek of terror*

Ran: "Ha ha ha. Very funny, Nick."

The next character survives a plane crash (or equivalent for their world) and is now stranded at the bottom of a very deep ravine.

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~Madrugada

Character reaction: In the event of a plane crash, and subsequent stranding at the bottom of a canyon, Beta's shapeshifting abilities lend themselves quite well to outdoors activities. It would be child's play for him to alter his hands and/or feet into something something more appropriate for climbing sheer cliffs. His abilities also allow him to temporarily suppress wounds, so long as they aren't too severe, to deal with later.

Scenario The tyrannical dictator who seized control of the United States, President For Life Winfrey, has ordered a hit on you.

This is still a signature.

Vash Vega just starts to laugh and goes to take out the source of his problems.

Your character has just had something important stolen before their very eyes.

Evil Alex: Try and strike a deal with him - he sounds like a useful minion to have. If it doesn't go through, kill him.

Evil Alex: Get it back by all means necessary, and kill whoever was responsible.

Edit: Ninjas!

The next character learns that s/he has been fired from his/her job.

edited 4th May '11 9:29:24 PM by nrjxll

Benny finds it difficult to believe that he's been fired as an elementary school student, but is thrilled all the same. Now he'll be able to play video games all day.

This actually happens to Edward. He takes a job offered to him as a friend that pays significantly less and gives him a lot more free time, which he uses to spend time with his son.

Catherine would be devastated. She would try to find a job of equal pay and importance, which would be hard since she's a judge.

Your character's skin melts off their bodies for no good reason.

edited 4th May '11 9:44:54 PM by WackyMeetsPractical

President For Life Winfrey is a woman. Winfrey. As in Oprah Winfrey.

Sandiiran is canonically capable of surviving as nothing more than a skeleton(which is ordinarily achieved by decomposition, but melting is more expedient), animated solely by his intense hatred for his former master. Skin melting off is a mere inconvenience to him.

Scenario: Some chick approaches you and informs you that she's pregnant with your baby(yes, even if you're female)

This is still a signature.

Ohhhh.

Evil Alex: Call her a liar and kill... well, you know where this is going.

The next character learns that s/he was adopted.

Tai would be surprisingly calm about it, and wouldn't love her adoptive parents any less, but would be interested to know who her real parents were. Dorian *was* more-or-less raised by people other than his parents, and only discovers that he has a living mother at age 23, so if he found out that she, in turn, adopted him, he'd probably just laugh and be like "What next?"

Situation: Your character meets someone they find strangely attractive, but is outside their usual orientation.
