Verge was brought back from the dead, but it was only after 10 months. He was pretty screwed up by it so continuing as normal wasn't really an option for him.

Calia buys the whole place by trading in a 1 tonne diamondNah, she's not evil.

Calia touches everything to learn about their shape, positioning and chemical structure so she can recreate them.Nah, she's not a cheapskate.

Calia would be pretty intrigued by the old-fashioned, yet practical stuff that she's never seen before. When most chairs and tables from your planet are either mechanical/ Hard Light /Nanomachines that spoil when exposed to enough magic, she'd probably want some for her army workplace.

Now Calia isn't good at engineering/technical stuff. She'll get AC to scan and read every single instruction manual in IKEA so that he'd be able to assemble them easily for her.

Your character ends up in a twisted, corrupted version of their home world.

Alan wouldn't care that much, unless Death was different there too.

Eva would have a panic attack, then build some tech device to get herself back home.


Your character can now see dead people. How well do they cope?

Stormy would initially think she's finally gone insane like her mother and grandfather before her. However, once she realizes they're wandering spirits, she'd utilize her new abilities to help in her investigative work.

Noah would think it's another symptom related to his night terrors and sleepwalking. Depending on how terrible the dead people looked, he might freak out and turn back to heroin for relief.

Guerrero Rey would make some comment about how it feels like Vince Russo started writing the sequel to Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, and would be certain he'll have to wrestle him at some point.

HISTORICAL NOTE: Abraham Lincoln was an amateur wrestler in his youth, and with his size, and the strength he'd have from splitting logs for fun, if it wasn't for his looks, if he was alive in the WWF days, Vince Mc Mahon would pick him up in a heartbeat.

In an ironic twist it's actually Earth Prime Peter who has been murdering his own doubles, as most of his alternate selves prove to be the "good double" in most alternate universes. So the final battle with this eerily similar double would result in a blow-by-blow remake of The One. Only with less choreography and more pathetic slap fights. Peter Prime would win because, despite this double being a lowlife degenerate/murderer. the double still isn't as two-faced as the real Peter. Throwing industrial acid in your enemy's face always works, even if it isn't honorable. Peter would be disappointed, however, as the moment he does kill the double he doesn't become a god, nor does he merge the multiverse into one universe. It just means he's the only person to commit suicide on an infinite scale, which isn't as spectacular as it sounds.

Same situation as above because I loved the premise so much.

Warren would be at a loss of what to do. Him, the real Warren, has a Thou Shall Not Kill policy, and would probably uphold it when fighting his evil double. Although, he'd have no issue with weakening them and letting Dakota finish them off. The hard part would be defeating himself at all, especially a version of himself who has proven to not have an aversion to murder and is smart enough to hop dimensions. In other words, he'd be in a lot of danger.

...Yeah, same premise as well.

Calia and Amber would only do this if that alt self were evil.

Holy crap, Evil!Calia is a TERROR to behold. Without any restraint on her powers and killing of innocents, she'd leave nothing but lifeless crystal in her wake, turning everything around her into a ruin of diamonds. Since both Calias would absorb each other's attacks or be immune to each other, they'd be at a Mutual Disadvantage. Calia would immediately call Amber and Aestus (Amber's Mother!) to take care of Evil!Calia, as the evil counterpart is weak to them.

Likewise, Evil!Amber would be just as bad, turning planets into burning gas and immolating everybody within. Again since both Ambers would absorb each other's attacks or be immune to each other, they'd be at a Mutual Disadvantage. Amber would immediately call Calia and Adamas (Calia's Mother!) to take care of Evil!Amber, as the evil counterpart is weak to them.

AC on the other hand is a very special circumstance. He only exists in ONE reality thanks to being a Metamorph. So this is impossible to happen to him.

Same premise, this one is awesome.

Dame Aisel Kilimovich: It'd be a whole lot of mess to clean up if there's not one but two Aisel Kilimovich lurking the Kingdom, since, assuming the Alternate Aisel thniks similarly to the Prime Aisel, the method of 'killing' an opponent Aisel employs usually involves pulling a lot of strings and blackmailing a lot of people. Since it will be a very convoluted game of cat and mouse, where the cat and the mouse are practically the same person, the outcome will hinge largely on who's the more ruthless one.

The above is of course assuming the Alternate Aisel aims to assume the Prime Aisel's position in the main continuity and thinks identically to her. If the Alternate Aisel is her murderous version out to simply kill the Dame, it's highly probable she's empirically fucked, and this will be one of the very few instances she has to rely on others to protect her.

Same circumstance. I like this one too much.

[up][up]Eveleen comes from a future world where where Magic from Technology is commonplace. So being mysteriously dropped into another world run by the laws of magic is almost seamless. She'd still try to figure out the technology behind it, foolhardy though it may be. What she would marvel at, however, is that this world has stars in the night sky, and that it appears to be in a thriving universe rather than a hostile void. This would be far more magical to her than the wizards throwing fireballs and summoning golems.

Once again going to refer to the above situation (that is the magic world/tech world flip flop) because it's interesting.

The characters of The Missing in a magical setting? Hmm...

Amber would be confused, but excited. She'd try to learn true magic in place of the parlor tricks she knows now. She'd also try to become some sort of magical fantasy princess, like she used to dream of being as a child.

Warren would spend time getting to know some of the citizens of this magical world, pick up some new skills and, hopefully, find a way to bring his mother back to life when he gets back home. He'd also try his hand at being king of a random kingdom for a short time.

Dakota would... try and become a monster hunter. She's used to hiding her cyborg hand, so that wouldn't be an issue, and so she'd set off, get some warrior gear, and slay some monsters!

Lysander would ride around in shining knight armor, try and pick up some 'fair maidens' and basically play up the role of a Prince Charming. On the side, he'd learn some battle magic, and hunt down Dakota to finally defeat her in battle.

Daedalus would be very awkward and out of his element. He's a Gadgeteer Genius who builds cyborgs and laser guns! His life is centered around technology, so being in a world that runs on magic instead would freak him out. After a while, however, he might get to enjoy this new life.

Kimberly would be like a kid in a candy store. Seriously, she's always believed in magic and fantasy, and in a world where it's true, it'd make her happier than anything. She'd probably try and befriend magical creatures, learn magic, and become a princess.

Same situation. We are on a roll tonight.

Whoa, so this is putting Diamond Phase's Calia, AC, Amber and Melanie from a tech setting invaded by magical beings (Terra 102) into a magical setting invaded by tech beings? Alright!

Calia would immediately attempt to promote peace between the magic and tech side. She will try to see both sides of the conflict and then get the others to iron out the problems. If this fails, she may have to use threats (that she will follow up upon if they don't obey) against each side.

AC would be torn on joining Calia or the Tech side. He needs an internet connection to sustain his powers. Other than that, he'd try to make friends with those he meets. Most probably he'd stick with Calia due to duty and loyalty.

Amber would join whichever side she wanted. She doesn't really care much about rules and is a rather free spirit. But most probably the magic side, if the tech side really hates magic users they'd go hostile on her, and she'd go hostile on them.

Melanie, being the studious mage girl that she is, will join the magic side and probably become a magic teacher/archmage. She'll also teach people how to use dark-element magic for good, as she's a master of darkness magic and a very nice girl.

Same question! It's awesome!!!

Aw,I missed this one. Guess I was being too slow.

The entire Black Feather cast coming to a technologically advanced world:

Dame Aisel Kilimovich: Probably won't make much of a difference for her. As someone with magical talent and the aspiration to be a mage solely because it grants her a good standing in the society, the primary change when she comes to a world dominated by technology would be her seeking to understand the 'techs' and whatever is the current rave of the scientific world as much as she's capable of. Magic in Erits, after all, is just another form of science.

Strada Austin: The confusion would completely incapacitate the young sergeant. Strada's not an academically minded individual at all, and even as a mage he's only a natural. Learning about things like computer, networking, electricity, such and such, would be a nightmare for him.

Knight Sentinel Faris: The change'd bother her to some degree, but Faris is is never choosy when it comes to what means she has, and dealing with A.I.s, cybernatically enhanced humans, and high tech weapons can't be all that different from dealing with ancient golems with their own minds, magically mutated humans, and dangerous ritual spells, anyway. It'd probably even end up being better for her. Her metal, cyborg-like artifact arm, for example, could be supremely dangerous if remade using some high tech components. Overall she'd remain a deadly operative, probably even deadlier than before considering the potential upgrades she can get.

Same situation

Kimberly, being one of the medics, would be just fine. She'd keep them in good spirits, while also returning them to good health.

Dakota had received medical training as a kid. She might be a better fighter than a healer, but she'd know enough to keep someone from dying until they can get real attention.

Lysander would try his hardest but fail miserably due to having no knowledge of medicine. He'd end up making things worse.

Your character meets two alternate versions of them-self, each from a different reality. Both claim they're the good one, while the other one is evil, and both asks your character to kill the evil one for them.

Addison would do his 'Stand around watching them until they do something either too bad or too good' thing to work out which was which. He's also got the thing that they've been to super good and super bad versions of their universe and everyone was blue eyed in the good universe and green eyed in the bad universe. Except he had hazel eyes in the good one, since he has blue eyes anyway... Papercut would then be asked to kill the bad one for him.

Papercut would check the duplicates eye colours, since her eyes are brown, Ms Green Eyes would be dying.

Verge has no time to work this out, he'd reason both of them were bad and would kill them both.

Space whales passing by are a rare occurrence around Terra 102. Unfortunately, there are times where they get attacked by poachers.

Calia would try to make friends with them via Chris' telepathy. Space whales are usually docile and will probably accept. Calia might get Chris to summon some elementals to protect the whales.

AC would shoot at them... with a camera. And record them with his eye cameras. This sort of incident shouldn't be missed. He'll probably be unable to talk with them unless in his late stages of metamorphosis so this is mostly all he can do.

Amber, who would normally burn everything in sight, would be too awe-stricken by space whales to do so. That and the whales are not looking for a fight, plus the fact that Amber can't survive 5 seconds in a vacuum due to being part fire/wind elemental. (Firewhirl can, but't she's more rational and would refrain from fighting)

Amber would burn it like any other stick.

Melanie's weapon is a stick (well, a staff).
