First get the clothes. My characters don't own fancy clothes. Beg borrow steal or scavenge. The odd food wouldn't be a big deal. They would be glad to get it. The aready drink plankton. More concerning to them would be. "Who are these people that have food and enforce a dress code". They would find that scary/creepy.

Your character wakes up and all his skin has turned green ( if he was already green now he's orange).

  • Beowulf inadvertently causes an avalanche, crashes the glassware market and Wagner hires him to play Brynhildr as a result.
  • Everybody else reacts in a similar fashion, but not quite as exaggerated.

The next character just walked in on their parent/s/guardian/s having hot raunchy sex.

Justin Peterson: Would blush profusely and run out the door immediately, trying to get some Brain Bleach. Landras would be extremely amused.

Your character's limb is amputated? How do they act and what do they do?

[up][up][up][up]Zenjiro is probably having a good time, if not feeling a bit uncomfy in all those formal clothes. He will probably be chatting with the ladies and surprising himself on how awful the food is. Eventually he'll grow bored and attempt to do something outlandish and even dangerous to keep himself busy.

Janice isn't fond of fancy parties, she thinks they are tasteless and snobby. W Hat she would do though is drink as much alcohol as she can so she passes out.

[up][up][up] Zenjiro would go like "Whoa! Shouldnt have eaten that stuff last night!" Janice would be like "Ok, whose was the funny idea of turning my skin green? Cus' Im gonna hurt him.

[up] After rolling in the ground in pain, Zenjiro would say "Hey! Give me back my arm!" Janice would still feel hurt but instead , she would take back her arm and beat her agressor to death with her own dismembered limb.

Cora: Not eager. Not eager at all. Luckily, "survival" isn't too much of an issue.

Ran: Probably blows up the whole stadium in her first fight, but hey, she makes it out with the MacGuffin.

The next character is somehow forced to give The Talk to a preteen child of the opposite gender as them.

  • Beowulf decides to solve this problem in the only way he knows how—he puts a wide, childish smile on his face, pulls out his lyre, and bursts into full skaldic song. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Hrut is very stereotypical and patronizing about it—she assumes that the boy knows nothing of the nether regions of a female when in fact that particular boy does—needless to say, the boy can't take her seriously and her attempt at sex ed is a total failure.

Your character must venture into a dank, wet, cave full of slimy things to retrieve a MacGuffin at the rear.

Zenjiro's reaction: "This can only mean two things, I'm eaither dreaming or tripping out"

Kojiro's reaction: "Mmmm. I don't remember activating my gravity shifter in my house...Is this another one of your pranks Zenjiro?

Janice's reaction: "What".

[up]

Zenjiro: "Umm guys, I think the cops might be unto us now" I swear even their booths are robots now"

Kojiro: What an interesting device. At first I thought it to be a regular police booth, but upon examining closer, I determined this to be some sort of spacecraft. It seems to be inputting some kind of force into the Time-space fabric. Facinating...I'm sending a robot probe to scout inside.

Janice: "A police Booth? This isn't supposed to be here is it?

Your character is strolling by the sea and finds a mysterious creature beached and helpless on the shore. It is quite big, but it isnt any animal the character can identify. It is slimy to the touch and quite ugly, maybe a tad threatening but harmless neverteless. What is his or her reaction to it? Will the character attempt to save it?

Cora: After grilling Boysenberry for information on said creature and finding out he knows nothing, she decides to simply grin, bear it, and have her friends help haul it back to sea.

Ran: "Oh no! A poor, pitiful creature is in trouble! ...Hey, Nick! I got a job for you!"

The next character suddenly finds themselves with a hole in their pants, skirt, or other garmet they wear on the lower half of their body, it's directly over their buttocks, and they're a long way from home.

Zaran would be quite embarassed and see if she could find anything to cover it up. After failing she'd stick her tail through the hole and try pretending she cut it there precisely for that purpose (probably failing to convince anyone).

Your character's actions have unwittingly hurt the pride of someone who now challenges them to prove they are better at [insert some activity here].

"he's a fictional character"

My Big Bad knew it from the beginning.

I'm pretty sure Dhana would be angry against me...But learning there is a world where he's nothing special would make him a bit happy, I guess.

The military characters would probably just shoot out the tires...(ah, the wonders of tactical cybernetics that synch with your sidearm)

The civilians would probably scream, some would try to stop the car in a more roundabout ways, and others might just calmly accept that there's nothing they can do to help their friends until the car's crashed.

^ Hits a little too close to home for the main characters across the series. Basically, your hypothetical is actual canon in Endless Conflict.

Mathias: First thing he would do is ensure both his sister and father figure is safe.

Tenchi:' Similar to Mathias what with both of them having grown up together in the same place.

Anzan: Contemplate the sacrifice the city made, hoping it went down in a glorious defense. Then swear to avenge its honor.

Situation: Your character is hit by the Fountain of Youth and turned into a 3 year old.

Ace would still try to take care of Angel. Which would become increasingly hilarious/pitiful. Just picture a 3 year old protecting a 6 year old. She would be unemployed as Phoenix doesn't hire children. She would therefor worry about starving, but her friends would take care of her. Which would be almost worse than starving. She would become convinced that she now held the key to the cure they have been looking for and insist on being tested. She would probably be right.

Your character is attacked by a pack of dogs/wolves.

Zenjiro, using his acrobatic skills, would try to lose the dogs as he jumps over obstacles and into somwhere safe. If cornered, he would take them out with kicks.

Kojiro would roll into a fetal position to sppear less thretening and to take the least damage possible. He would still ask for help though and panic a little.

Janice would say "Time to put these mutts to sleep" as sshe unloads her handguns and starts shooting away.

The next character loses conciousness and wakes up to fins that he or she has been captured by a Diabolical Mastermind and thrown into a cell. A couple of guards patroll the prison aisles. How would the character react to this? How will he or she attempt to escape?

Leo would punch the door out of the frame, disable or kill the guards, and escape.

Jennifer would teleport outside of the cell, disable the guards and escape.

Your character is skydiving, and has just jumped out of the plane to find out that their parachute doesn't work.

All of my characters but Toby would find themselves soon dead. Toby would be smashed to bits and then bitch about how much it sucks to be undead and still have pain receptors. If her jaw's not too broken. Then she'll be wired together and stuck in a closet or something until she heals enough.

Situation: Your character, through some lapse of judgment, has found themselves on a blind date with the most odious, offensive life form they have ever had the misfortune to sit at the same table as. How do they get away?

Your character has just discovered that they have an identical twin. If they're already a twin, they've discovered that they're actually an identical triplet. Or quad. Or quint. Or what have you.

Cora: After a bit of momentary despare, she starts asking her good frined the King of Suenya if there are any non-magical, non-essential items he has that he might be willing to let her hawk at Earthen pawn shops. She has a substantial fortune there due to having popular memoirs, but there's no exchange rate between Earth and other dimensions yet.

Ran: Unsuccessfully attempts to hire herself out as a 16-year-old freelance detective.

The next character finds out that someone they absolutely used to hate when they were younger wants to make amends.

Kojiro: "It seems I hated you so much I can't even recall your looks or what you did to me. Let's consider that as us starting from scratch."

The following victi- I mean character, suddenly finds himself amongst a primitive , and apparently alien, tribe. The tribe worship her o him as a god, and the character is given royal treatment, a palace and several tributes. What is the character's reaction to this? If he or she plans to use their blind faith to her or his whims, what is one of those whims?
