Warren would have the children captured and brought back to the rebel headquarters. Once there, he'd give them the choice of being returned home, or stay and train as a medic. Either way, they'd be given care and not be harmed. Most likely, he'd assume they be working for the secret police, another reason to hate the government.

Victor would demand to know who is responsible for this and send his agents after them, if they are children forced to fight by their rival nation. If it's one of his agents, he'll fire them on the spot or have them turned into a cyborg.

Your character's fridge is full of only food they dislike or food that has gone bad. They have no money or time to buy anything.

Happy Holidays to everyone! Have a great end of the year, and an even better 2015- you all deserve it!

[up][up]Eveleen loves children deeply and would do her damndest not to harm them, and would encourage them to give up fighting. No force on earth or heaven could keep the person who forced them into service safe from her when she finds him.

[up] Peter would pop over to his neighbors and "borrow" something of theirs.

Your character discovers they are the last member of their species/group/whathaveyou.

Calia would break down into tears, for the Gifted were her friends and her main goal in life was to get them to live in harmony with the humans. She'd probably take extreme revenge on those who killed them, prompting a Start of Darkness.

As for AC, he'd actually panic despite his otherwise calm nature. Something is very wrong with the entire omniverse and beyond if he's the Last of His Kind, considering that the higher ups of his race literally create and govern the laws of physics and abstract concepts in the multiverse.

Your character has just finished eating at a restaurant and realizes they don't have enough money to pay for the bill.

They'd all just get Drumr to wire in some extra money, unless it's cash only. Then they'd just get Drumr to stratodrop the money.

Same question, since my response was a bit underwhelming.

Peter has a philosophy when it comes to eating out at restaurants: "always dine 'n dash!"

Ben would end up getting stuck washing dishes because Peter's a terrible friend who likes to trip people when they're dashing.

Your character awakens in a burning building tied to a wooden chair soaked in gasoline.

Your character awakens in a burning building tied to a wooden chair soaked in gasoline.

Soma would wonder A: Who would be dumb enough to try to kill him, B: Who would would do so with a burning building of all things and C: Why they didn't try to kill him the old fashioned way.

If possible, break the ropes. If not, be horribly burned and consequently, incredibly pissed off. Strong possibility of killing anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity.

Your character meets David Hasslehoff, who entrusts your character with a mysterious briefcase that he wants your character to deliver to the king of a particular country. Before he can explain further, he is assassinated by an army of ninjas

Addison would be frozen to the spot. He just saw the Hoff killed by ninjas. What else is he gonna do?

Papercut would also freeze. She must be part German or something. Anyway, the second she comes to her senses, all the ninjas will be dead.

Who would trust Verge with anything important?

Your character is taken hostage by small children demanding cake and soda

Jenny: She would be confused but will try to talk the children out of it by offering a candy bar she has on her.

Victor: He would be confused as well, but amused. He'll get himself out eventually.

Kommissar: He'd be so done with the world by this point. He would escape easily, but some children would be harmed in the process.

Mamushi: She'd talk her way out of it by tricking the children.

Your character is on a plane over the ocean as it gets hijacked by terrorists. How do they handle the situation?

Calia's would usually use a creative and subtle way to disarm them, usually by turning their weapons into powder. After that she can take out the unarmed terrorists quite well.

AC would use his speed to throw energy shurikens to kill them before they can react. If possible, throw 'em at the weapons to disintegrate them, then kill them.

Sinner-8: "Alright Hellion Squad, listen up! We terrorists are going to burn this metal **** to the ground!"

Your character is being stalked by a concealed ambush predator that's about to attack them.

Addison would be screwed.

Verge would be looking for the thing. Very little gets past him.

Eveleen is heartbroken that Cicero would betray her after she put her trust in him and vouched for him despite everyone's disdain for him being the former right hand man of a villainous despot. She would reluctantly challenge him to a duel.

Mason never expected Leta to betray everything they've done to keep millions of lives safe from the horrors of war. He would have to destroy her in order to maintain that safety.

Your character is approached by an Eldritch Abomination to start a cult in the creature's name.

[up] Darn it, ninja'd.

Addison wouldn't be able to believe that Papercut would switch sides on him. Not with all they've been through together.

Papercut would kill Addison on the spot. It would kill her to do so, but for him to betray her so badly...

Verge does not make allies for this reason.

Your character isn't feeling great but has to go to work because they're getting paid today and they've got some kind of bill that really needs paying.

Addison hates blind dates. But he needs to look decent right? Eh, best shirt and jeans. Too bad his best jeans are purple...

Papercut would wear that pretty white and blue dress with butterflies on that she has stuffed in the back of her wardrobe and has sworn never to wear (Addison must have lost his mind when he bought it for her.) but hey, she needs to make a good impression right?

Verge would freak out and end up just wearing his work uniform. It's a suit, so its fine. As long as she doesn't notice that weird blue stain on his trousers, he'll be fine.

Let's go fly a kite!

Calia's kite would look like a crystal stingray thing which resembles the Guardian Entity that's part of her. She'll most probably fly it from low plains as she's afraid of heights.

Amber (Calia's "rival") would provide the breeze due to her powers over gas manipulation. Her kite would look like a bird made of flames, just like her Guardian Entity.

AC would fly a flat object with seemingly nothing on it. It does however create a holographic projection around it, making the kite resemble a glowing plane.

(Bonus) Darkblade (villain in charge of the Enforcers' stealth division) would be flying on a giant kite like a ninja.

Your character sees a huge mushroom cloud erupt in the distance. They're too far for the nuke's radiation or blinding flash to get them.

Mason would be horrified, yet also a bit amused. The war he's been fighting/avoiding is between a number of godlike groups who like to use weaponized galaxies, so a nuke is rather minor. Still, he knows the historical connotations of the nuke, and sees some irony in its usage here.

Your character is approached by an Eldritch Abomination who wants them to start a cult. (Rehashing, I know. Get over it.)

Calia: " Mom, why are you doing this? You want me to assemble a cult of Gifted so they can sacrifice humans to you? The humans are my allies, not livestock for souls!"

Long story short, the President married a (shapeshifted) arcane being from another plane of existence, resulting in Calia. The Gifted are half-human, half-Made of Magic Eldritch Abomination. Even worse, the plan of those arcane beings was similar to this- to allow them and their children to feed on the souls of humans on the planet.

(My question would be same as above, as my answer is a special circumstance.)

[down]If the MC for my flash game had that happen to him, he'd flip out and rebel against his own forces for cancelling his tv show. In fact that's part of what kicks off the plot.

If Gabriel was bored enough, he might go to the network executive's house and flip his car upside down. Otherwise, while he watches TV, some TV exec isn't really an interesting enough opponent to get excited over.

Your character finds out that they're the long-lost heir to a nation and is given the crown- but has very limited political power (ie, mostly a figurehead)
