Mella is the every girl there to make others look attractive...and also to be a mediator to keep the girls from killing each other. She's not there as a model, not at 5 foot nothing. She does her job well, so that's good.

your character discovers a prophecy that says who they will marry. what do they think of it?

Eveleen would be surprised by the person it has chosen, but she thinks it'd be cool if it came true nonetheless.

Noah would reject the prophecy, because it predicts that he'd marry an Eldritch Abomination and not his one true love, Gillian.

Peter would be confused for a number of reasons. The fact that this prophecy even exists would befuddle him, the fact it predicts something so trivial would annoy him, and the fact it says he'd marry a man would make him want to kill someone.

Your character is about to have sex with their love interest for the first time.

Kiarn is incredibly nervous. Her Dark and Troubled Past has made her extremely wary of any physical or emotional intimacy, and this would seem like the ultimate vulnerability to her, however much she loves and trusts her love interest.

Bryyn is trying to forget all the times she's had sex before (as a spy/agent type, it's sometimes come up as part of her job) and focus on her love interest.

Mallena is slightly nervous (what if our relationship gets weird after this?), but mostly passionate.

Your character suddenly starts experiencing chronic pain in one of their limbs. They're not sure why.

Dakota would try to ignore it, and keep on training and battling. If it gets worse and more often, she'd give in and go see the medics...even though the issue could very well be coming from her secret cyborg hand, which the medics don't know about anyways. Maybe they have some painkillers, though.

Page 981 of the 247th edition Pyrrhekski Ranger's Survival Manual has this to say:

"In the event that you have unintentionally made romantic advances with a hostile force, take the advantage of your close contact to equip whatever sharp object you have at hand, hopefully that sharp object being a millitary issued vibroknife, machete, or monomolecular trenchspade, and apply the sharp end to the side of the hostile's throat. If you need to remove evidence of the encounter, then apply a grenade to the hostile's clothing and run. If the hostile is not wearing clothing, then you will either have to use an adhesive grenade or get creative. If none of these are available, in which case you have failed as a ranger, then strangulation is your last option."

For unknown reasons, this passage was removed in later editions as well as any other passage that uses the term "get creative", which has since become synonymous with "do something morally abhorrent that nonetheless resolves the problem at hand" because of the manual. This, along with its sarcastic tone and copious Black Comedy, has made it a treasured collector's item for any Pyrrhekski ranger.

Your character is driving along and comes to a stop at a red light, just as the Big Bad is crossing.

Eveleen could do many things in this situation. She could forge more parachutes for the other passengers, she could use her hard light shields to decrease the severity of the impact of the fall, or she could conjure a flying construct to help the others get safely to the ground.

Peter would take the last parachute and leave the rest to die. He'd probably even marvel at the spectacular crash while eating popcorn.

Stormy would let someone else take the parachute and try to safely crash land the plane to lessen casualties.

Your character must get their team together to do a heist, who do they choose and why?

Grey Sun: Would probably lead his Spec-Ops team, assuming he was ordered to do it. Post-Character Development, he'd ignore the opportunity because he doesn't care about money and just wants to live in a cabin in the woods.

Dyskon: In the event he couldn't just acquire the objective through skillful scheming, he'd either hire some mercenaries to do it for him, or get his small MegaCorp's "security" division to do it.

Dakota would probably think she could take him down and actively search for him...just to get taken away.

Warren would stay strictly in the rebel HQ and be very cautious about letting his followers out as well. If they start getting targetted...he'd take one for the team and let himself get caught to appease Slendy.

Amber...might just escape. She's pretty stealthy and probably would have done extensive research...

Eveleen would try to research it, understand it, figure out how it ticks. Probably with unfortunate results.

Stormy would run, as far as she could, which is pretty much anywhere. When she finds that running won't work, she might try to fight Slendy. It wouldn't work.

Noah being part human part Eldritch Abomination might actually be able to go toe to toe with Slendy and survive. Especially if Slendy was stalking Noah later in his life when his more Eldritch aspects have started to become more prominent.

If Slendy were to stalk Peter however, Slendy would be the one who would Go Mad from the Revelation.

Same as well because I really like this one.

Grey Sun: Slender Man would actually sorta fit in with the lesser Fay gods that make up his native culture's extensive Pantheon. And being stalked by such a Fay god is sorta a very broad summary of a section of his story. I suppose if you imagine how someone approximately 300 years ago would feel about vampires and the like, you'd get a small sense of his attitude toward the situation.

Then, add the fact that he's a Special Operations commander with extensive knowledge of several martial arts, carries a powerful automatic rifle and pistol, a sword, and is clad in something between modern and medieval military armor, he'd probably try to fight the thing. Is Slenderman bullet proof?

A character has done something terrible, like killing millions of innocent people, but in the name of saving billions. The key to his plan is secrecy. How would your character react to knowing this secret?

Warren would admit that maybe they thought they were doing right, but that this plan is horrible. He'd confront the character with a team of his followers. After defeating them in a fair fight,he'd request for them to revel their secret in public and join the rebels in doing the "right" thing. If they agree, the character would be treated as an ally and respected. If not, one of the rebels will kill him and the group would do the "right" thing themselves.

Your character is forced to relive their worst memory

Noah's would be watching Gillian get shot in the head by his human "father." He'd be so shaken up by it that he'd fall apart, huddle into a ball, and start sobbing. The emotional anguish from having to relive that moment so vividly would be so strong he might end up subconsciously open a rift to another dimension. He might turn to drugs to prevent this.

Jhonen's would be returning to his town to find everyone there dead. As the sheriff's deputy, he felt responsible for everyone's safety and everything went wrong on the one day he wasn't there. Worse yet, he brought the woman who killed them all. Reliving this would only harden his resolve to find The Viper and kill her.

Stormy would relive a time during her tour of Afghanistan. This sometimes happens and she needs to work off the stress. She usually does this by driving around her home town, grabbing some cheap fast food, and then going to the top of Salton Hill and binging on said food.

Peter would relive the one time he had to sit through a play. It was that boring.

Your character is framed for murder. With law enforcement hot on their tail, how do they proceed?

This has happened to FM actually. Except replace the words 'framed for murder' with 'has commited murder'. Oh yeah and Paladins as the law chasing him. He went hiding from town to town, occasionally encountering the paladins and knocking them out as painlessly as possible. Eventually he gets caught and executed with powerful enough holy magic to shove him into the next dimension over.

Kain would shrug and fight them whenever they pop up. Unless he has better things to do. In that case he'd escape to do whatever another day.

Warren wouldn't do much. It's been so long ago that any old civilizations have been lost to history and no longer hold importance. He'd think it was cool and be proud of his heritage- but it won't matter overall.

This could very well happen to Eveleen due to her being forged. If it were to happen she would try to work out a way to free the other slaves and escape, most likely by galvanizing the enslaved population into revolting. It wouldn't hurt that her friends would be looking for her as well... with intentions to give the slavers hell for taking Eveleen.

Your character witnesses a paranormal event (what that is is up to you though preferably it should be something they thought was impossible).

Rgl would chow down on whatever extint animal he'd come across. He'd refuse to return to present day and enjoy life his new life without the clan or humans.

Sima would attempt to find the dimensional tare that got them there and reopen it. He'd try to remind Rgl of their celestial mandate.

Eveleen would be crushed. She doesn't like killing, and only does so when there's literally no other way, to learn she accidentally killed someone who was entirely innocent would hit her hard. She'd insist on some form of punishment, despite many, even UR authorities, seeing it as an accident with no real justice needed to be dealt out. It would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Jhonen wouldn't really care. So many people die in the rustlands, and many of whom he's killed directly, that human life isn't considered sacred by many. Still, a part of him would take this as a sign to do better next time.

Peter would relish the fact that he's "gotten away with murder." He'd probably celebrate in a big way.

Your character's love interest is permanently gender swapped how does this affect your character and their relationship?

Verge would feel guilty, but try not to show it since he did not intend to kill the person, and if he was suspected, he would have been 'deactivated' already.

[Edit: Argh... Ninja'd.]

If the Mail Guy were to be gender swapped, I doubt Papercut would care. She is 'Mail Guy sexual' so I don't really think it would be too much of a stretch for her to become 'Mail Girl sexual' instead.
