What would your character do in the above situation?

Hisui would probably go with 4'33". Have to respect the classics.

Your character has to either let a falsely accused prisoner escape, or recruit the prisoner to his captors' side.

It depends on the captor— if it's the Queen, Mella opts to get the falsely accused prisoner to side with her, because Senna's fairly reasonable for Royalty, and it'll keep things from getting too complicated. If it's a neighboring country or faction, Mella will let the prisoner go, and just be like " honestly I'm 5 feet tall and you all keep reminding me I'm useless, how did you expect me to stop her/him?" and then starts voicing suspicions once she's with her friends, who are in a better place to actually help.

your character can mimic any voice perfectly. what is the very first voice they mimic when they learn of this ability and what do they use it for first?

Charlie learns to imitate all the characters from his favourite cartoons. The nerd.

Heron echoes everything Charlie says, in the exact same tone of voice, because he know it will give him the shits.

Your favourite character plays a TVTropes drinking game (any drinking game is fine, but the Black Books one is my personal favourite), Which one do they play and how sloshed do they get? And what do they do under the influence?

Elize decides to play the My Immortal drinking game, and since she doesn't drink alcohol, uses various sodas instead. This still gets her on a truly epic sugar high (where she, among other things, took a break to run for a few miles before coming back to it) and induces two cavities.

Heron and Charlie play the aforementioned Black Books drinking game, Heron's an expert at irresponsible drinking, and is (somehow?) relatively sober. He's the kind of man who could out-drink Bernard Black, so he's fine.

Charlie quits after "Cooking The Books" is over. The whole house smells like his spew, and he just wants to go to bed. And maybe die.

Your character has a million dollars, that they can only spend in a day, what do they spend it on?

edited 2nd Aug '15 2:04:21 AM by trashconverters

Peter uses the money to buy a small army and attempts to invade Canada.

Stormy donates it to charity. She has more money than she knows what to do with, and a million is chump change to her.

Your character discovers their hometown is Powered by a Forsaken Child.

Heron would offer to take the child's place. Because he is immortal, he would not be affected by powering the town. He would not heroically fight to save the child, as he can't actually fight for shit, but expect him to give a surprisingly stirring speech.

Charlie would be the one to physically fight enemies in order to save the forsaken child. He'd try to offer a solution where no one got hurt (except himself maybe). He'd probably do something reckless in order save the child.

Your character is dying. What are their last words? If they don't have any, what are their dying actions?

edited 3rd Aug '15 1:49:20 AM by trashconverters

Kev: "Well, I certainly won't do that again!"

Same

Heron assuming Heron chooses death, his last actions would be to get as drunk as he possibly can, so he's completely sloshed when he finally kicks the bucket. His last words would probably be "thank fuck".

If you were to kill him before he had the chance to become immortal, his last words would probably be something like "please don't"

Charlie would be afraid to die, but wouldn't show it outright. He'd probably say something ridiculously sweet like "It's been a pleasure" or "I wish you all the best". What a sweetheart.

Your character becomes lost in Cloud Cuckooland. Do they become a Cloud Cuckoolander or do they remain the Only Sane Man?

edited 3rd Aug '15 2:14:16 AM by trashconverters

(Because Dives-Deep-Waters is an Elder Scrolls character, let's say that said Cloud Cuckooland is the Shivering Isles).

Dives-Deep-Waters would largely remain unchanged, but that's because Dives isn't truly planted in either the land of sanity or insanity.

Your character is invited to a fancy dinner with some high profile guests at an exquisite manor far from regular civilization. Suddenly, the host is murdered! How goes your character participate in the investigation?

Stormy leads the investigation. She's a world renowned investigator after all.

Peter probably killed the guy.

Nick locks himself in the wine cellar and gets wasted.

Your character learns that their best friend has been butchering people to create a Frankenstein-esque monster.

Sumisha Rathore AKA Kali would be disgusted and excited at the same time. As long as the victims were not innocent she'd love to see the end result and test it out i.e. fight it. If victims were innocent then the so called friend gets added to the Frankenstein. Using former friend's notes she activates the monster and fights it to the death. The Goddess of Death... strikes again

You character is at a loud rock concert. The concert is being attended by a VIP who has been marked for assassination. A man comes to them and asks them for help in saving the VIP but you don't know if the VIP is president or a drug lord. What does your character do?

edited 4th Aug '15 10:22:23 AM by SmokingBun

Kommissar doesn't care which- as long as the man pays him big time.

Jeff will have to consider if saving their life will interfere with the future— he'll end up contacting one of Hundred's agents or talk to the VIP in time to figure if it's worth it.

Your character gets to meet their idol/role model, but it turns out they become their Broken Pedestal. Who is it, and why?

Jo already knows her role model quite well. It's Bram, the man who helped her go from an utter, utter unlikable brat into a halfway likable person. If he ever fell from grace she would try to bring him back to an acceptable level of decency, just as he had for her. Also there would be shouting and swearing involved, because if Jo is not being pushy and obnoxious about something, she is not being Jo.

However, if Bram failed to respond to her attempts, she would probably react with a great deal of sadness, fear and insecurity. How could the man who showed her how to be a decent person sink so low?

The next character sees that a person they despise is extremely upset or afraid. The character does not know why this is.

edited 9th Aug '15 3:58:29 AM by Murataku

Markus would do a quick telepathic scan to discover why... and, depending on what it is, possibly mock the person with it.

Your character has recieved an anonymous note claiming their best friend is going to have them assassinated. What do they do?

edited 9th Aug '15 8:45:32 AM by Error404

He would not really believe it while he still would be deeply disturbed deep in his heart.

The character discovers a paedophile ring that includes several historical and current high up on the society

Jhonen wipes them all out. Simple as that.

Stormy manipulates members into exposing the group, prompting a massive manhunt and numerous arrests. She also kills quite a few.

Nova deletes them from existence.

Your character runs into an old bully from their childhood.

Gabriel wouldn't even recognize them. His pre-vampire days, and the past in general, aren't something he spends a lot of time dwelling on.

Gary would avoid them entirely.

Jim would have already given any bullies in his childhood an alcohol-soaked asswuppin' or two.

Your character gains a rival who isn't hostile to them, but can do everything they can do better. How do they react to them?

Anastasia would take her loss in stride and invite the rival to an evening at the Conservatory's coffee house. This is probably for the best, since everyone on the upper level of Nextlife!verse's power spectrum is a psychological wreck of some sort.

Gio would invite them to his office to discuss a very lucrative partnership deal. But only after calling in his Weathermen to secure the perimeter.

Your character has been spending months working a demanding job and looking after a sickly loved one, and is at the verge of burning out.

Gabriel has never worked a day in his life/unlife, and wouldn't last as long if he tried. The rest of his clan keeps him well-funded despite their hate for him just because they're terrified of what he'll do if he ever has to make money on his own. The good news is that burnout will never be a problem for him- being undead means that he isn't affected by long-term pressures or stress. As long as he has the motivation he can do things for centuries and not have to worry.

Gary would hold on for a long time. He could physically handle the stress indefinitely, but he'd eventually just stop being able to perform. Maybe he'd break down and yell at someone.

Jim would try, but would fail pretty quickly due to his drinking, lack of common sense, paranoia, and tendency to get into fistfights.

Your character has to buy someone they don't know very well a Christmas present.

Heron's go to is always alcohol. If in doubt, buy 'em wine.

Charlie likes making things. He's a very good drawer, so he often draws people portraits of themselves.

Your character has lost their powers (if not magical, they have lost their greatest talent) and have to find something to do/learn. How do they react, and what do they do/learn?

For a Gifted, this would be a double-edged sword. For one, it means that they're pretty much a normal Terran (or Solaris) without a Guardian, on the other hand, they don't have to get their weekly amounts of soulfood to survive anymore, meaning that they'd be seen in a better light.

Calia would read up on lots of politics. She would be very disappointed- without her powers, she wouldn't be able to fight in the army anymore and protect the planet. However, it's hard to make her change her dream of bringing harmony to the people, so she'd study for her future destiny of becoming President.

Amber would be so angry it's not funny. Being raised from a child in the army to use her powers, she would be devastated at losing them. Amber would probably take up various forms of tech combat in order to regain her fighting edge in her army. And probably some leadership/strategy skills, she really needs those.

Melanie would be very upset having her greatest asset taken away from her. She's lived a life practicing and studying magic, and if those powers were to be taken away, it would be a lot harder for her to study it. Nonetheless, she would probably start studying social study fields she can still learn w/o need of powers, such as psychology, philosophy, history, etc. She's been reading books on those for quite some time now, and would have more time for them.

Rae: Without her Gifted powers, she would no longer be a Living Battery, and be less subject to her mother's experimentation. She'd still be able to manipulate light as a Solaris. Thankfully, she's still going to be cheerful, if not moreso, as she's able to study more about science/technology to advance research further!

All four would appreciate the better publicity over no longer having to consume soulfood.

Your character gets into a near-death situation.

Jhonen gets into these daily. He shoots his way through them.

Nora would probably be in this situation from a car wreck. She spends most of the time thinking about her children.

Your character is accused of kidnapping a member of a royal family and must flee the country. While doing this they find the supposed kidnapped royal has stowed away in their escape vehicle and threatens to say that your character is guilty if they don't agree to keep his location a secret.

Heron keeps his word. He himself is always on the run, so no one notices that he doesn't age. He does however try to get rid of him as quickly as possible, leave him somewhere, safe enough for him to hide, so Heron doesn't have to deal with him for too long.

Charlie tries not to tell anyone, but he's a gossip. The royal's location will end up in the wrong hands eventually, because Charlie can't keep his mouth shut. He means well, but goddamn, he needs to learn restraint. It gets him into all sorts of trouble that Heron needs to drag him out of, yet again.

Your character is dying, what is their last dance? What is their last pleasure before they kick the bucket?

Gabriel and Jim will both die doing what they love. As in doing what they love will inevitably get them killed.

Gabriel will go out in a spectacular blaze of violence and glory, however many centuries it takes for him to meet his match, and he wouldn't have it any other way. If he was somehow dying any other way, he'd still make it happen.

Jim's last words will be "Hold my beer and watch this".

Gary would rather just go someplace nice and peaceful to spend his last few days. He'd want to be with his friends, as much as he'd expect Gabriel to fuck things up.

Your character is walking down the street. Someone they don't know pulls up in a car, opens the door, and yells "GET IN! NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!"
