What would your character do in the above situation?

Eric will be in denial and Go Mad from the Revelation. He will never admit them to be his little brother, and being a Extreme Omnivore, chooses to eat them and start going on a search for him.

Just for the sake of it, same as above

Not only would Calia be pretty much dumbfounded at her beloved father being a bunch of small, bearded magical creatures, but the entire planet would be completely stunned/shocked/disbelieving that their Global President was just a bunch of gnomes stacked together.

Your character realizes that their current period of their life is like a video game, they have a walkthrough that details all upcoming events (and "sidequests"), and that their most trusted relative... is the final boss.

Rationalize that not every Final Boss dies at the end. Just need a good ass-whoopin to inspire a Heel–Face Turn.

Your character reads this thread.

Well, dante would just look into the thread and write the follow thing:

"same question because I dont like you"

Markus is amused, and responds How would your character react to TV Tropes (in general)?

Calia would Wiki Walk it and find tropes pertaining to her, it would help her in becoming more Genre Savvy.

Amber would probably try to wiki walk it and soon get into the mess of random tropes.

Same question

Rachel would absolutely geek out and go on the mother of all Wiki Walks.

Your character finds out that The Dragon is their relative who has been extorted by the Big Bad into working for them.

Tyyni runs up to Lahja and gives her a big hug. "Come on," says Tyyni, "come back. We miss you."

Your character has been imprisoned in a labyrinth of stone. The only way out is via a twisting, confusing maze.

Eric is too impatient to navigate through the maze, so will opt to blow up the wall every time he reach a dead end.

A five year old girl follows your character around, calling them "Papa/Mama", and refuses to call them anything else, even if you try to intimidate her. What would your character do with her?

Cecil gives up trying to intimidate the little girl and adopts her into his home. Hey, at least give the girl a good childhood.

Your character finds out that they are a clone and that one of the major antagonists is their progenitor. How would they deal with this information?

Arc: Knowing full well how much sense it would make to be the baddie's clone, he decides to do extensive research with the clues on-hand and around the city — and when that fails, he just marches up to the big bad and demands answers. With his fists, if need be.

Davis: Wonder just how a guy like him could have even the slightest relation to the main baddie wrecking house. Despite that, he wouldn't dwell on it for long — and figure out how to use the power he supposedly inherited to fight more effectively against her.

Julia: Be actively repulsed by the fact, and somehow come to hate the man even more than she already did.

Your character gains world-class, chart-topping skill with an instrument of their choice.

Massim would learn how to play something that's easy to carry with him, like a flute, or maybe ukulele. He'd use the newfound mastery playing in roadside taverns and small towns to get some money he could definitely use, and he could wear sunglasses indoors without drawing the wrong kind of attention, as wandering musicians are expected to be kinda eccentric. He'd never do anything "big" with this skill, though - the more popular he'd become, the more likely he'd snap or his Dark Secret would come to light.

Tannya would chose bagpipes, because she always wanted to learn to play those. She'd treat it only as a hobby, probably laughing to herself that the musicians of this world have no idea that such a gift is being wasted on a professional demon-slayer.

Your character wakes up one day to find a shining-new, top-shelf sports car in front of their house, with keys in character's maibox.

Celina would question how and why the car was directed for her or who knew her location in general (as she is nomadic). Perhaps a prank fro her rival? Either way, at least she now has a permanent and dependable ride to school now.

Same with Terry (remove the nomadic part and rival part).

Your character comes across a crowd gathered around to watch a street fight occur between two teenage girls. Not a typical cat fight type, but a really intense street fight.

edited 12th Feb '16 5:10:43 PM by mrstack345

Feyte would try to break the fight up and hopefully solve whatever problem led to the fight in the first place.

Jess would keep away, but sneak glances every once in a while. She's at least smart enough to realize that that sort of thing never ends well, but it's too big a spectacle to just ignore.

Your character discovers that someone they find awkward and creepy, although not particularly malevolent, is hopelessly in love with them

Jani would have the creeper "Prove your love" be presenting them with a long, hopeless quest to retrieve an artifact that doesn't exist. He'd also have his friends keep an eye on the creeper to ensure the quest remains unfulfilled (or to have them meet an "unfortunate" accident) "just in case."

Same

This sort of happens in canon with Calia, since Felix, the person who is in love with her is the son of the doctor who kidnapped her as a young girl to experiment on, and Calia's Guardian Entity had accidentally killed said doctor. Unfortunately, Felix doesn't understand the full situation and sees her as his father's killer who has to be taken down. He thus stalks her, and it all goes to a head when Felix kidnaps Calia in order to continue his father's experiments, and also to force her to be his wife, and it's up to Calia's bodyguard to save her.

Same.

Your character notices that a rare and very important book they are reading is missing a couple of pages. What do they do?

Edited by IsaacTheRed on Aug 2nd 2023 at 12:37:47 PM

In Jamie's version the book is an incredibly rare comic book. She is naturally pissed because she paid a lot of money for it. She gets her brother and Peter to pull an elaborate scheme to get her money back that results in several thousands of dollars in property damage and one very traumatized teenaged boy.

Your character needs to raise $20,000 in two days or their best friend gets their legs broken, how would they get the money? Oh, and they can't just have the money already, assume your character is broke at the moment.

edited 14th Feb '16 11:54:51 AM by Avenuewriter

To be quite honest, Tannya would, rather than collect money for whoever intends to break her friend's legs, find the would-be leg-breakers and give them a beat-up their grandchildren would still feel decades later.

Largo would go to his bosses, both mortal and divine, and tell them somebody's trying to extort cash out of an Imperial officer, not to mention god's chosen. Either his mortal boss and fellow sorcerers go ballistic on the perp and prove - publicly - that IBE doesn't give in to any threat, or Patahawanka would turn the perp's dreamscape into living hell and a few days later the perp would try to pay Largo just to make it stop.

Massim on the other hand would be quite desperate to get the cash, as he doesn't have many friends. Seeing how his kind is sort of local bogeymen, he'd play up this aspect and go on a robbing and mugging spree, hoping that he can raise enough cash before the time runs out.

Your character must babysit their friend's three-years-old child for a few days.

Kiarn would be at a loss. She's never spent much time around kids, even when she was one herself. She just do her best to keep it out of her business and try to keep on her mission regardless. Although even she'd realize soon enough that saving the universe at any cost and 3-year-olds don't mix.

Mallena would be slightly annoyed, but wouldn't have a problem fulfilling the request. She does have three younger siblings, after all. After a while, she'd even find herself enjoying the task.

Your character is in a restaurant or bar when a group of large, tough-looking guys come up to them and inform them that they're in the thug leader's seat and need to get out

edited 15th Feb '16 3:25:46 AM by Ashfire

Takashi would be reluctant, but would stand up and vacate the seat without question; the seat isn't worth a fight, after all (even though he'd probably win).

Two of your characters (specifically, ones from completely different universes and stories) suddenly swap places. How do they react?

Wolfe would be surprised to find himself mysteriously transported once again - especially to a 20 Minutes in the Future Post-Cyberpunk version of a town in which he once lived.

His first assumption would be that he had merely returned to his own Earth some years after he departed and that his children may well be alive somewhere.

He would set about trying to find his children and fail (this not being the future of his world) and would realise why when his researches fail to bring up any records of his ancestors and himself either.

He would adapt pretty well, though, it being in his nature to just play the hand he's dealt.

Gwion would be utterly stunned and dismayed, going from an advanced consumer-oriented society with ready access to advanced technology to a Schizo Tech world with some "everyday" technologies seemingly limited to past eras and others comparatively "advanced" for the setting.

The lack of potential to repair or replace his arm or eye, should he ever need to, would concern him greatly and he would be frustrated by the complete lack of internet and television and the scarcity of other technologies to which he is accustomed.

He would head for the local capital city - it having things that some of the outlying regions don't yet have and probably look for security work or, if necessary, join the local police.

Same

Ira comes from a Cosmic Horror Story, Lucy comes from a Science Fantasy Space Opera. When they swap universes, Ira is awestruck by the bright, optimistic world full of advanced technology, psychics, and near godlike beings. He spends most of his time marveling at everything. Whereas Lucy is horrified at the nightmarish things happening and takes it upon herself to take out the Old Father.

Same, this is fun.

Arc lives in New Line City, a rain-soaked metropolis increasingly plagued by murderous supernatural creatures, distorting space-time, and a populace at risk of being corrupted into terrifying killers. Lloyd lives in Porbeagle, a seemingly-sleepy seaside town full of weird people (himself included) and buried mysteries — and treasure — resurfacing as the days pass. There's a bit of a disparity here.

Still, they might be able to handle each other's domains. Arc would get a respite from the doom and gloom, and evolve as a person because of it. Plus, with a mind as sharp as his, he's 100% capable of solving the mysteries around Porbeagle — even if it'd mean he'd have to stay in a town overrun with freaks, idiots, and madmen. But he'd manage; he's technically surrounded by weirdos in New Line City, so he's used to inanity. Meanwhile, Lloyd's not exactly equipped to take on the lord of the dead and his subordinates, but his unrelenting optimism would keep him from cracking under pressure — which by extension would make him immune to the allure of The Corruption. So in dire straits, his ability to bond with others could serve as an inspiration (if not salvation) in dark and uncertain times.

Same, because who doesn't love a crossover?

James lives in a small Canadian town where there's a whole lot of weird monsters that are Invisible to Normals; Massim in a drifter in a Fourties-esque fantasy land plagued by occassional invasion from hell.

Massim would find James' world amazingly peaceful, especially in light of the distance this puts between him and his god lessening his Berserker tendencies to the point where he can function in society. He'd be quick to get used to the existence of the Invisibles, and would be fascinated by computers and Internet, but would have quite a freak out upon realizing how easy it is to track him down. In the end, upon finding out about upcoming End of the World as We Know It, he'd throw his lot with the Invisibles to help them stop it.

James, the Reluctant Hero of his story, would be rather relieved that he doesn't have to go around world-saving anymore, but would quickly get himself into trouble because he doesn't speak the language, has no idea what to do without contacts and home, and actually forgot what it's like to be visible to normals. He'd probably be captured, his special abilities found out, and he'd be made an... offer to join IBE and fight the Beneath. He'd probably agree, and in time would even come to like the job - especially seeing how he'll first get some training, something the Invisibles never thought to give him.

Same, it's one of more interesting prompts.
