Rila would first try to avoid detection by said entity and hope something else catches its attention, given a persistent pursuer she would try to find some way of barring, banishing, or otherwise keeping it at a comfortable distance. Failing that she would try force but as a last resort as her experiences with immortal power-house creatures tend to result in them treating bullets as bug bites.

Your character has been forced to kill in self-defense for the first time, it was not premeditated but it is taking a life regardless. How do they react and what kind of behavior would they most likely display to cope?

Calia performed her first kill when she was kidnapped by Dr Alter as a child. He was about to do a painful experiment on her when her Guardian Entity Chris materialized a huge crystal spike to impale him in the heart. Calia was pretty traumatized by the kidnapping and previous experiments already and the incident broke her further. However, this incident also made her realize that she would need to take care of herself, even if it meant killing. A few years later, Calia would join the army to kill enemies of the country.

Amber made her first kill when she was a Child Soldier. Like Calia, she also had powers since birth, and she was trained by her father (the commander of the entire planetary army) to fight. She was shaken when she killed people, but she knew that she would have to kill to survive. Soon, killing enemies became a way of life and she doesn't feel much remorse over it.

Your character gets their gender flipped for a week.

Skyler (M/F) would either tease everybody around and play with his new body, or bond better with his sister and help her on her way to adulthood.

Mitsuru (M/F) would pretty much casually point out how cliché this is, he would not care much, as his gender has little to do with his life. Also, his girlfriend would still hit on him

Zeta (F/M) would find out how her new male body fits better with her personality, as if it had been her life as intended

Eveleen would probably do what she usually does, travel and help wherever she could. Though she'd be surprised that she technically has larger breasts as a man.

Peter would milk the opportunity for everything it's worth. Stare at himself in a mirror, try to seduce his guy friends, much to their disgust, and setting up a webcam show to leech money off internet perverts.

Your character awakens in an unknown location with three other people, and is told to kill them if they wish to return home.

Young!Rine would question the person who ordered him to kill one of the other three right away. If said person convinces Rine that they are indeed worth killing, he will approach them and question them about their lives and actions. In the end, he will give up on killing anyone if the kidnapped ones seem like good people and confront the kidnapper with words, denying his absurd demand, before facing him. Otherwise, he will argue that it is cowardly to strike down someone who is tied, preferring to let them be judged on a fair trial instead, and ultimately confront the kidnapper.

Adult!Rine will attack the kidnapper immediately, without any warnings. Sly curs such as this kidnapper deserve a quick retalliation.

Asvel will pretend she's going to obey the kidnapper, converses with the three victims, then chooses the best one to free in a quick attempt and help her in the fight against the kidnapper. Two against one raises the odds, and her swordplay is not that good either... She's best at firing projectiles made of light and acting as an support.

Your character's Town is attacked by an Eldritch Abomination much stronger than every character currently is.

If the attack occurs in Tarentaria, the Sworn Four would probably contact the Big Bad and see if he wants to lend a hand. If not, time to call the Mages' Guild and put some emergency plans into action, even though they're only delaying.

If it's on Earth, Madison and Jeremy would likely be forced to handle it alone. Their only option would be to lure it down to a nearby naval station and hope like hell there's a ship there with some firepower to back them up. Considering the fact they have earth and wind/lightning powers, they might be able to wear it down on their own.

Your character has a day off, with no world-saving to look forward to. How do they spend it?

[up][up] This happens at the end of AC's, Calia's, Amber's, Melanie's and Rae's story. The only reason why the Eldritch Abomination could be defeated was because of an Enemy Mine situation with the Anti-Magical Faction, where it got trapped in an Anti-Magic field that severely weakened its powers. Even so, it could still warp the surroundings with ease. And to top it all off... Said Eldritch Abomination is Calia's, Amber's, Melanie's and Rae's grandmother!

[up]

Calia and AC would go out together (as she's the president's daughter and he's her bodyguard) to eat at posh restaurants, shop, have fun at places like amusement parks/movies/stuff, meet up with people (where Calia shows her kind side by helping them out), and meet up with friends like Amber, Melanie and Rae. And eat ice lollies. Calia's solid-creation powers allow her to literally think them into existence.

Amber would join Calia and AC if possible, as she's their army friend. If they're not available, she'll use her gas manipulation powers to fly around and explore Terra 102. Maybe beat up and burn some of the killer wildlife below the elevated cities.

Melanie normally stays at home (she's reclusive) and studies magic, and is usually forced to stay in. She may go out secretly by shapeshifting into liquid accessing the waterways, maybe going to restaurants and stuff, meeting up with the training instructor Serion (whom she has a crush on) to practice her powers, or even meeting up with Calia/Amber/Rae.

Rae is normally shut in most of the time as she's a scientist who nearly works 24/7 at the Solaris Research centre, plus her mom put an Explosive Leash of sorts on her. On the rare occasion that she gets a day off then she would want to go out with Calia/Amber/Melanie to eat/shop/have fun. Even looking at the scenery and sunflowers outside her facility is already considered refreshing.

Eveleen would spend time with her friends. She'd spar with Cicero, help Sara-Rose upgrade her grav-bike, and would have a drink with Thurston. They would all probably take in a forging duel in the capital. It'd be a real blast.

Noah would find a quiet spot to read a book. That, or visit Jillian's grave.

Stormy likes to veg on her couch when not off on a case, she'd probably play co-op games with Perry, or go swimming if the weather's nice.

Rine is bad at figuring out what he should do when there is a day off. He'll wander around the city looking for something interesting, or go outside to train or test his skills on wild beasts. If he doesn't find anything interesting to do, he will go after his sister or his mentor. If none of them are available (his sister usually is), he'll deliberately find someone else to talk to and spend time.

Asvel will enjoy her day off as much as she can. She believes that hanging out with friends or just by herself with little purpose in mind is very relaxative and compensative for a tiring routine. Eating, relaxing, chatting and casting burdening matters aside usually helps one's disposition for the next day, so she kills two birds with one stone.

Lucien, as a long-time soldier, does not neglect his own self just because it is his day off. He gives continuity to his training exercises by spending the majority of his morning on training his own body; reading and meditating after lunchtime; then as the evening approaches he will most likely spend his time with either his apprentices, Rine and Asvel, or his comrades, with the intent of developping their bonds and give himself a little break.

Your character has a mirage of someone very close and/or dear who is already dead. If this is not applicable, then your character has a vision of someone very close and/or dear to them dying in some very realistic manner.

Kiarn already experiences this a lot (due to guilt over killing said person), so depending on the circumstances, she would probably feel renewed grief and start trying to apologize to them.

Ketturah would start demanding answers and trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Feyte would try to determine what exactly she's seeing (a mirage, halucination, vision...) and what it's trying to tell her, if anything.

Your character takes up a new hobby (something they've never done before in-story) and they're really bad at it. How do they react?

Warren would probably lose interest. He has no time for hobbies anyways, and he probably just took the new hobby as an experiment.

Dakota would get frustrated and work at it until she does it well.

Amber would continue doing her hobby, even if she's bad at it, because it's just for fun, right?

Your character receives a letter or email (whichever fits for your world more) full of pictures of their darkest, most embarrassing, and most secret moments, and the mystery person is blackmailing them into doing the person's dirty work or the pictures will go public.

The joke's on the mystery person if he does this to AC. AC's an accomplished hacker and technopath and can easily tell where the email came from. AC will refuse, and the mystery person will broadcast the pictures... of his own embarrassing moments, due to data redirection. AC would then sic the Planetary army on him since he knows the guy's location.

Calia would refuse and get her bodyguard AC to do his thing. The guy ends up posting his own pictures, but he also gets his soul consumed once Calia arrives at his place to arrest him. Doing such an act to the President or his daughter warrants the death penalty.

Your character is caught up in the middle of a riot.

Peter: "It's looting tiiimmmeee!"

Rana would start killing rioters. The riot is just proof these people deserve to be treated like dogs for not complying.

Throughout, she would mutter " I never had to deal with THIS on my adventure. Ugh. Where's the Mage when you need her? this is so stupid. can't they just shut up? please? ugggggggh."

AC will take care of those kittens well until the kittens' old age. He'd love to spend his time being nice to animals. One condition though- if they grow up, they must be neutered. He knows that those things will multiply if not neutered...

Calia would have to get AC to do most of the care as she does have military and political business to attend to. She'd take care of them when she's free though. Again, the kittens would have to be neutered as she knows that they'll multiply.

Melanie would definitely take care of them since she's rather lonely at her house most of the time, so the cats would make great company. Besides that, she finds cats cute. She may not even want to spay/neuter them, and let them multiply when they grow up.

Usually I'd do my novel characters, but I'm bored of using them for this game. So, I'll use some of the characters from my side project instead for a little while. It's a light and comedic story about superhero and supervillain teenagers.

Anyways...

Danny would take it very seriously and make Clementine get some rest. She may be the main villain of the story- and definitely wears the pants in the relationship- but he loves her and she loves him, so she'll listen when she knows he's serious and wants to help her heal. He'd also go out and get revenge on whatever/whoever hurt her, because that's what super-villains do, right? Oh, and he'd definitely try and keep her laughing, but he'd probably fail- he's only good at the Incredibly Lame Pun variety of humor.

Kimberly would take Perrie to see a doctor right away- especially since Perrie is just a Badass Normal, and has no powers on her own, and "normals" in this world get hurt much more easily than "supers" do. She may even pay if it's severe enough, which is a big show of affection from a greedy girl like herself.

Ben would panic, and upon realizing it's Peter probably sock him good. When he realizes Peter's been possessed by another demon he'd panic again.

Eveleen would freak out, and run like hell to get her gear and fend off the intruder.

Stormy would go for the gun under her pillow. Anybody with the stupidity to creepily stand over her while sleeping is either a poorly informed assassin or an idiotic trespasser.

Calia <-> Amber: Both would find things pretty odd at first. As Calia was trained to create cold temperatures fixed volume solids, she would find it difficult to master heat and ever-shifting gas. Meanwhile, Amber would find it tough to create cold temperatures, and her lack of finesse in shaping her matter with her powers would cause haphazard solid structures.

Even more funny would be that Calia wouldn't be able to take her favourite ice lollies as Amber's body is weak to cold, while Amber wouldn't be able to take her favourite hot foods as Calia's body is weak to heat.

Finally, others would find the normally bossy, authoritative and analytical Calia become less rigid and impulsive, and the impulsive free spirit Amber turn into a strict and commanding person. This would lead to interesting and complicated relations that both would probably have to inform the rest of.

Despite this, both of them would learn to use their powers and adjust their tastes properly to adapt to their world.

Danny would actually enjoy being trapped in a new body, as he could be a temporary hero like he used to fantasize about and not lose his spot on the villain team! But it'd take a while to get used to having different powers, or none at all...and he'd miss Clementine. The person in his body would probably have it hard dealing with the villains and his powers, but that's not his problem...

AC would show them proof that he wasn't cheating by replaying every single one of his actions during the tournament via a holographic projection.

Calia would probably need to get AC (who was recording her actions) to help her. She'll know that using her authority to push this matter further will only get into further problems.

Amber would threaten to burn the guy who accused her. If this persists, she'll follow up on the threat and most likely cancel the whole tournament (and get herself into huge trouble).

Eyrie would try to stop the situation, no matter how much danger it involved to herself, seeing as how she has an almost pathological need to prove her self-worth by being a hero.

Feyte would try to talk the robbers into letting her go, using her Jedi Mind Trick abilities to get them to turn themselves in if that didn't work.

Bryyn would lay low and try not to attract attention unless her own or multiple other innocent lives were at risk, or she felt it was particularly important for them to not steal this thing, in which case she would try to use her skills to escape and bring backup.

Your character finds out that their best friend/love interest is planning to commit suicide
