Ace would be very suspicious of the situation. She would hate being worshiped (maybe even try to stop them), but would use her influence to get blood samples from everyone in the tribe. Her whims would be simple if they have any food, clothing, shoes, weapons, or cool agricultural stuff she would ask for some, and maybe some souvenirs for the kids. She would take pictures then she would get out of their ASAP. She is Genre Savvy enough to know these things don’t always end well.

Your character finds out that their kid or the kid they are responsible for has their first crush

New people. Because I can.

Noah: Would realize this means they will in fact grow up and will in fact become teenagers. He'll then privately panic thinking about all the shit he got up to as a teen.

Ollie: Would not care at all. She'd be a horrible parent-guardian.

Deforest: Would just chuckle and withhold any advice he may be inclined to give unless directly asked.

Your character(s) are deliberately stood up. How do they react?

  • Beowulf goes off alone to cry and feel miserable. He's a bit dramatic. The next time he meets his girlfriend, he yells in the midst of tears about his poor treatment.
  • Hrut goes home, also to cry and feel miserable. She asks her boyfriend the next day about what happened, but without the tears or yelling.

The next character found a non-threatening stranger hiding in a restricted area.

Athena: Unstoppable Rage

But the guys know this and therefore would not stand them up deliberately. Well, Tango dose think Athena is cute when she’s angry.

[up]Most of my characters would be impressed. Ask them how the got in undetected, and attempt to recruit them.

Your character is asked to be the first to try an untested vaccine.

Zenjiro, would have his doubts but still offer himself as a guinea pig for the vaccine anyways. Expect him to be twice as likely to do so if he is bored.

Kojiro is a little touchy when it comes to needles, and would rather have it tested on somebody else, like Zenjiro. Althoug, if properly motivated, he will do it for the betterment of everyone.

Janice would reluctantly offer herself for the shot if she was paid for doing so in some way.

In the following scenario, the next character starts to suspect of being the next target for an asassination orchestrated by a Diabolical Mastermind. W Hat could he or she possibly know to call in such attention? What precautions would he or she take?

Your character is asked to be the first to try an untested vaccine.
Viktor: Since he's a microbiologist/virologist, he'd ask to see documentation first, and then after deeming that it's safe, go through with it. He's a reasonably healthy guy.

In the following scenario, the next character starts to suspect of being the next target for an asassination orchestrated by a Diabolical Mastermind. What could he or she possibly know to call in such attention? What precautions would he or she take?
Viktor: First, he'd try to discern what kinds of connections the other party that wants him dead actually has. If there's nothing weird or supernatural about them, he'd just roll with it and kill them when they come. If they are supernatural... that's a different story.

Your character is walking on the street, and they see somebody trying to mug a blind man.

Mugging Blind Man:

  • Justin Peterson: Have Landras have a go at them, if she prefers. But if Justin regonize them, he would write down their names.
  • Ian Down: "Polilely" ask the muggers to go away, at the risk of breaking several bones. Once they flee, the blind man fate rests on his appitite.

Ollie: Is properly outraged by it and totally ignores the basic rules of self-preservation and tries to intervene.

Noah: Reluctantly involves himself. At any rate he'd call the police.

Forest: Is tiny, and so would call the cops and try and help in any non-physical way he can.

[up][up]

Ollie: Confusion and anger.

Noah: Panic.

Forest: Confusion and mild anxiety.

Your character is asked to shopping for something they find incredibly, horribly, embarrassing by whoever is most important in their life. Do they do it?

I’ve been thinking about using this. Ghost is a Scavenger. A big part of a Scavenger's job is to go into abandoned stores/businesses/ homes/what have you and find the things Phoenix or the people who work for Phoenix need. They use a list to tell what’s needed. I’ve been wondering about his reaction would be to items like “bras A or B cup ” or “girls underwear” being on the list. I think he’d get them but blush like crazy and stair at the floor when he handed them over. Which may prompt the girls to add more embarrassing to the list because it’s fun to make a badass blush.

Your character (regardless of where and when he is from) wakes up in modern Vegas.

Rho is blue, has feathers, has hooves, a long tail, and very sharp teeth. ...clearly he starts his new career as the most exclusive prostitute in Nevada. tongue Nah, I kid. Once he realized he most definitely did not fit in (shouldn't take long) he'd probably try to get into show business somewhere to get by while he figures out how to get off the planet and back to civilization.

[up][up] Zenjiro: Right away he'd take advantage of it by begging for free fish, getting free tummy rubs and to sneak into his female crew members' rooms while they are undressing. Eventually he'd get fed up with it and would probably have a hard time letting others now he was once human.

Kojiro: He wouldn't like it and he would do anything in his power to make others turn him back to normal. You can't do any science without opposable thumbs now can you?

Janice: She'd probably find life as a cat more comfortable than living as a human. She would be a very grumpy cat though.

[up]

Zenjiro would nervously push the shards behind the pedestal with his feet as he nevrously whistles and walks away, pretending as if it wasn't his fault.

Kojiro laments bitterly on what has he done and unsuccesfully tries to rebuild it, creating a depressing mockery of what was once a decorative vase.

Janice would say "Conisdering on how ugly that thing was, I'm not worried on how much that thing was worth"

The next character(s) is in an ancient temple and falls down a pitfall. Down there is what appears to be a stone relic with glowing blue engravings al over it A Precursor is down there too and tells the character "that (s)he is not ready yet". What does (s)he do?

  • Ooh! Beowulf is in his element! He practices where he usually spends his spare time—out in a grove by himself, sometimes to a statue of one of the gods, typically Freyja or Freyr.
  • Hrut paces back and forth where she has privacy, and mutters her lines to herself.
    • Hrothgar, her father, has a habit of doing the same thing.
  • Wealtheow and Unferth are spontaneous with their speeches and don't rehearse.

The next character is taking care of a bedridden elderly woman. She has a foul temper and a fouler mouth, and does not appear to appreciate your character's hard work.

I'M IN DISPAIR! ALL THIS NINJA´ING HAS LEFT ME IN DISPAIR!

Somebody close to your character, via Mind Control, has been placed under the indefinite control of the Big Bad. How does he/she react?

Zenjiro: He'll be really mad but unable to fight back in fear of hurting said person and begging him or her to come cak to his senses. Most probably would get curbstomped by said friend.

Kojiro: Under pressure and stress, he would find a way to nullify the effects on the mind control and go at any lenghts to do so, even if it great pain on the victim is needed.

Janice: She knows she has to put that certain someone down, even if it hurts her. And after that she'd be really pissed at the Big Bad, attemtping to take any viable opportunity to put a bullet between her eyes.

The Antagonist of your story has taken another of your characters hostage. Who would be the taken, and who (if anyone) would come to their rescue?

The one in distress would be either (Kojiro for depending too much on his tech to keep him safe) Both Janice and Zenjiro would agree to rescue him albeit if not beickering a bit between each other.

The next character(s) enter an art exhibition and see a pretentious abstract piece which they REALLY hate. What will (s)he do?

Mind if i redo my post? feel free to respond to the same question after my post

Zenjiro is more than glad to do so! He is quite good at it after all. He does pretty good cooking the meal overal if not a bit unorganized with his working spac.e He'd prepare a spicy meal to surprise his friends.

Kojiro would probably have one of his robots take care of the cooking instead. Depending on hos much he suupervises it, the robot will either make a delicacy or something that'd make you wish for some Soylent Soy.

Janice would be like "Ffffffuck..." and try to offer the crew a six pack instead insisting that if she cooked for them, they would all be in the hospital by the next morning. If she had no option but to cook, she'd trow anything edible she could get in hand (which would spontaneusly light on fire the moment she mixes it together) and end up with a mushy paste that tastes like something you'd eat at the Clifftop Bay Correctional

Ace is an excellent cook. She wants to use her old family recipes but is frustrated by the lack of ingredients. She has tomatoes, but no way of getting pasta or even flour. So soup it is. She makes a massive cauldron of tomato vegetable soup. It's good. They all eat it, and like it, and if a few don't like it they eat it anyway because it's food, it's good for them, and they're lucky to get it. Also if anyone (probably Ghost) makes a sexist joke about women cooking they get their ass kicked.

"Your character meets their long lost father."

OK, picking the ones who'd be interesting about it...

Nora would be extremely scared, and probably react by beating him to within an inch of his life just to prove to herself that he no longer has the power to hurt her. (Her father murdered her mother and tried to kill her when she was 11.) She wouldn't kill him because her mentor Bjorn has a thing against kin-slaying.

Trevor would be meeting the voice, his telepathic mentor. This actually happens in my story, and he's cautious at first, but once the guy proves he is who he says he is, Trevor gets really happy. (But doesn't show it outwardly.) Then the voice starts saying some really hurtful things to him, and he gets upset, and then realizes that this guy isn't the voice, but the voice's body - the voice is actually dead. At which point he's grief stricken, and he runs out of the room.

Alexis would be meeting Lucius, the guy who turned him into a vampire, who he thought died in The Spanish Inquisition. He'd be delighted and probably hug the guy, then pepper him with questions about how he survived and where he's been. Then he'd tell him everything that's happened for him since they parted, and then introduce him to James, the kid Alexis turned recently. (But this won't happen, because Lucius is actually dead. The characters will never find proof of his death, either.)

If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.
