Liam would feel somewhat relieved, given the way his companions were acting towards him. Then, due to the fact that the real Liam still exists, he would make a new life for himself, seeing this as a clean slate for his checkered past.

Eveleen would be surprised to learn she was a forged duplicate of the real Eveleen, as great effort would need to be taken to accumulate all her memories. A difficult task, but not impossible. Worse still, is the fact that she now knows she's a puppet of some grand forger with pre-programmed triggers no doubt downloaded into her mind. She'd most likely give herself up to the authorities.

Your character has won the conflict, but their nemesis now hangs just inches from death.

Jim would start laughing at his nemesis's fate, until Amanda starts complaining, at which point he would pull the nemesis up, while making it abundantly clear that if Amanda hadn't been there, they would be dead.

Under most circumstances, Jess would not hesitate to finish off her enemies. However, given her rather bizarre Foe Yay-ey relationship with her specific Arch-Enemy, she would probably save Gabrielle. Gabrielle would then jump off the cliff, out of spite.

After offending a pompous aristocrat, your character is challenged to a duel.

Addison: He would quickly dissolve into a gibbering idiot.

Papercut: Said Aristocrat would end up with no tendons intact.

Geist: If the crew is anywhere near a habitable planet, then he's at a party and he's drinking. He may be The Alcoholic, but he doesn't act too happy or sad while drunk. He just acts... silly. On one occasion he drove out to an optic (since electronics are obsolete compared to optics) store and bought a reasonably priced monitor (since televisions no longer exist) just to throw it out of a hotel window because he didn't want to harm the expensive hotel monitors.

Tio: If the crew isn't working, he's likely involved in Geist's antics or otherwise nearby to said antics. In a party environment, he is very likely to be organizing a card game of some sort. If it's strip poker, then he will be surrounded by discarded clothing while he remains as well dressed as ever. He will trade witty banter with anyone capable of handling it until he gets bored, since his altered biology makes it hard to get reasonably drunk. He just hopes he doesn't wake up duct taped to a wall like last time.

Drumr: She will be sitting in her cyberterminal, watching live feeds of celebrations from all across Occupied Space. She will wonder what it would be like to be down there, and would link onto sensory feeds to find out. As she is linked to multiple feeds, she will show a feint smile as she realizes that she is more "there" than the rest of anyone. Spread out along countless lightyears, interconnected via Transnet, she might be happy enough to stand sleep.

Jim is 6'7'', heavily built, dressed like a cowboy, usually mildly drunk and permanently scowling, so he probably wouldn't be blamed for long.

Jess has a less intimidating appearance, but she's quick to anger and very violent, so a fight would ensue.

Kate would deduce who actually did it, and logically explain how it couldn't be her. That is, if Jess wasn't there to take offence and start a fight.

Amanda would scoff incredulously, and fervently deny it, to the amusement of Jim.

Your character has been invited onto a talk show.

Addison would mumble 'Okay' and then try to get out of it.

Papercut would shout 'I KNEW IT!' and then do whatever they want her to do, as long as any opponents can be defeated by being stabbed in the ankles.

Verge wouldn't believe whoever was telling him.

Warren would team up with them and be glad to have someone like him to help him lead. However, they may disagree over which of them gets to lead when their rebellion ends. This fighting wouldn't last long, as they would both have the same opinions and leadership styles anyway, and they could just lead as partners.

Your character meets their polar opposite.

Peter's polar opposite, his cousin Craig, is an upstanding citizen, a happily married man, and successful writer. Naturally, whenever Craig visits Peter's dilapidated abode, Peter attempts to murder him in hilariously convoluted ways.

Your character awakens in an insane asylum where they are told that the life they were living was all in their head.

Regina Queen would be incredibly distressed, especially the idea that all her precious memories were a lie and her friends never existing.

Sakkaria T'Mila would break her usual relaxed facade and bawl her eyes out, mainly for the same reasons as Regina.

Your character finds themselves transformed into a conscious vehicle. What kind of vehicle?

June and Jillian: They do just about everything together, like it or not, so their trip would probably be together too. They would take turns driving, consume lots of caffeine, and sing along to the radio. When June is driving, then Jillian will either surf the web on her phone or just stare out the window and smoke; when Jillian is driving, then June will probably play a game on her DS, doodle, or play her mandolin. Both will need constant bathroom breaks for all the caffeine, and June will invariably buy SOMETHING silly every time they stop to further occupy her time, like a travel bingo game.

Jamie would quietly count off every instance of something mundane that she sees, like every blue car that passes by, or every water tower. She would probably also put on an audiobook.

Your character is checking into a shady-looking motel in an urban setting.

Addison would see that this place was not to be messed with and except anything he got.

Papercut would have her blades drawn at all time, ready to stab the first person who tried anything on her.

Verge would feel uncomfortable but put on an air of complete serenity. That would scare off most people.

Your character can't complete a test chamber in Portal

Peter'd happily assault every Disney character he could get his hands on, though he'd never lay a hand on the Disney princesses, merely gawk at them. Then, after going on the rides whilst high on LSD, he'd probably take a nap somewhere in the Pirates of The Caribbean ride.

Your character has been suffering a series of personal failures, whatever could go wrong certainly has gone wrong, no matter how hard they try to stay afloat. Then the villain shows up at their doorstep, having noticed your character's misfortune, and offers them a reprieve at the cost of betraying their own morals.

Warren would reject it. He puts his leadership before most things, and even if he's struggling, he'd know that betraying his morals- which would mean ending his quest to kick the corrupt government from power- would not only hurt his followers, but the rest of the country as well. He'd use this moment as a boost, a reminder of why he's fighting in the first place, and then think of a way to make it better.

Your character is dying. In their final moments, if they could only have one person at their side, who would it be and why?

For Addison it would be Papercut. She's his best friend and he wouldn't want his little sister Addie to see him die.

Papercut would want Addison to be there with her. He's one of the only people she knows.

Verge is tough, but he's terrified of being alone in his final moments. He would rather have a total stranger at his side than die alone.

[up][up]

  • Ariadne: She could not say for sure. She does not like to think of her own death. At one time she would have said her father; at another, Caroline, her closest friend. But now? Her mother. Making amends is important.
  • Ashford: Death is the most solitary act, best practised alone and in silence. As a life should be ended, should one let one's own life end. Optimally.
  • Borte: Among fellow warriors or trappers, or with the one who would take her life in a fair contest. She would prefer not to die sick and laid up, but doing something at least, either fighting for her life or working to her last.
  • Caroline: Ariadne and Nathanael. No question.
  • Caterling: Whoever stabs him in his bed; thus, whoever he stabs last.
  • Emil: Just a friend. Never more, but never less.
  • Errol: His wife and his cousins. Who else? Best to die happy and among those that care. But then they would be sad! No, alone... but then he would be sad! Oh, such a dilemma.
  • Evan: That one. Names do not matter. No-one else is so real.
  • Ianto: His cousin Diarmuid. Too many years have gone by.
  • Lesser: Ashford.
  • Perry: Ianto, maybe, although looking so helpless in front of his younger brother would be painful; or maybe Emil? Best to not keep secrets.
  • Philip: The name Minna comes to mind, but who is this person? He has forgotten many things.
  • Pulver: He would rather die alone. Being seen has always made him dreadfully uncomfortable. He could sympathise with Ashford on many philosophical points here.
  • Quisser: He would not know. Hetty? Wait... yes, Hetty. She's such a good girl. Although the lack of hands would make burial difficult, and rhinoceros are not so verbal as to call for help...
  • Shamash: With a loved one who expects the end to come and has already wept enough.
  • Timon: It is of no importance. Bodies die.

[up]

The characters who had the skills and really wanted to would not hesitate, as they probably have no moral qualms about the matter and enough confidence in their own abilities to not fear the repercussions. After all, this must be important, no?

The ones who wouldn't or couldn't... well, a few would just do it for kicks and not care, but that's a limited number.

Your character is in a heated philosophical debate with a friend. How did this happen; and what is the topic at hand? How might it be resolved?

Addison would be debating with Papercut over whether it's right or wrong to drop a flour bomb on Verge's head when he comes out on to his balcony as he does every morning. It would last until she dropped a paradox on him, probably the old 'this sentence is false' standby.

Verge on the other hand would be debating with himself whether to look over the city on the roof this morning, as he would have heard Addison and Papercut debating upstairs.

Your character's group has been at war with another group for years. It comes to a point where they have a member of their group completely at their mercy, what do they do?
