Current!Declan just wish he'd stayed the same minor character that Draft!Declan was, so he didn't have to deal with all of Heron's bullshit, his Bratty Teenage Daughter and maybe, just maybe, he'd be a little bit thinner.

Long before Declan existed (we're talking years ago), Draft!Charlie was actually the token Irish guy. No, really. And then he was replaced. He's become a bit less boisterous, much, much more Hipster-y and learnt to play to the bass guitar, but he's still the same redheaded, plucky everyman he's always been, so they'd probably get along splendidly, despite their very different interests.

Current!Mary would be suprised to find so many variations in her past incarnations. She would get along just find with Draft 002!Mary, whom she has many similarities to, and she would love to be a mentor to Night and Sophia, two incredibly intelligent 13-year olds. She would have a lot of difficulty understanding Ailil and Medb Hippolyta, though with some effort she could recognize that both of them only spoke Irish. She would have the most difficulty with Draft 001!Mary, due to her suicidal tendencies and her posession by an angel. The two would probably get into a very nasty and bloody fight, which might leave them both dead.

Current!Simon would be initially suspicious of Draft!Simon and vice versa. Current!Simon would think that Draft!Simon is either an alien spy or man in black (untrue) or a skinhead (was once true). Draft!Simon would think that Current!Simon is either a Chinese spy (untrue), a Chinese agent who has come to steal American jobs (also untrue), or a member of a Chinese gang (was once true). However, they would quickly realize their similarities and start to work together.

Current!Julia would find the cartoony, steampunkish Draft!Julia deeply amusing. The two would become fast friends and end up talking about engineering. Meanwhile, My Grandfather would chuckle and possibly make an internal comment about how much his field has changed.

Current!Boris would end up in an intense Mexican Standoff against the fishman Draft!Boris and the magical, blood-sacrificing Sharona. However, eventually they would put their weapons down, go out drinking and share stories that disturb the passersby.

Current Ignatius Torchwick would not be able to stand his two previous incarnations. While he will freely admit many would see him as the villain of the piece, he is at worst an Affably Evil Well-Intentioned Extremist, with the goal of breaking the Masquerade and making the benefits of magic available for everyone.

Draft 1's Ignatius on the other hand, is an arrogant, one-note Spoiled Brat who wants revenge of Merlin just because he wasn't accepted into Merlin Private Academy while Inept Mage Allen Richard was, so Current Ignatius's only words to his original version would be, "It's not always about you, you entitled brat!"

Draft 2's Ignatius is pretty much a wizard version of Magneto, who wants to lead mages and magical creatures out of the shadows and take their rightful place as masters of the Earth, and is an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy when it comes to his magical might, believing the Muggles would stand no chance against him alone, much less his army. Current Ignatius would try reasoning with his second draft, debating their respective philosophies on mages' place in the world, but once the subject comes to the mundanes' "powerlessness", Current Ignatius, who believes mundanes have as much to offer the magical world as the other way around, would run out of patience and just shoot his second draft in the leg with an ordinary handgun to prove a point.

Considering I reuse the same characters over and over again, I'd imagine it'd be some sort of Multiversal meeting when Current!Jango looks at all of the past incarnations of himself. Since they're all more-or-less act the same, they'd probably all get along pretty well.

Current!Daniel would curse me because that hallucination that keeps trolling him, controlling his actions, screwing with his memories and most infuriating of all, acknowledging it's own existence as a hallucination (and calls you a racist if you try to do that) since birth was there from the early draft. Meaning "from birth" is waaay more meta than he thought.

Current!Jack would note that the early draft of him was younger, white and had superpowers. He'd laugh. Tbh, we never really know what he's thinking...

Current!Cait would be disappointed. She hasn't really changed at all...

Well, this is a rather interesting topic for me, as I basically scrapped one story about a group of teenagers travelling through a modern world overrun with monsters and made another about a war against a radical group of anarchistic outlaws set in the wild west, but carried over four of the character ideas.

Draft!Margaret would think Current!Lilly is a very sweet and thoughtful person and likely become friends with her. With time Draft!Margaret would get concerned about Current!Lilly's extremely low self-esteem and try to convince her of her worth. Current!Lilly would also consider her counterpart to be good friend material and admire her confidence, but would probably give her a few words of disapproval about partaking in some unlawful actions.

Draft!Nathan would think that Current!Clyde is a disrespectful and uncaring jerkass. Although, he'd also be kind of intimidated by his counterpart, as he's pretty tough and muscular-looking. Current!Clyde would think his draft counterpart is very annoying and consider him to be way in over his head trying to take on the world with seemingly nothing but talk behind him. He'd try to tell his counterpart his doubts about his ability bluntly to both intimidate him and prevent him from getting himself killed.

Draft!Mai would quickly come to respect Current!Bloom for her forceful confidence and sharp wit despite being a whole seven years younger than her (Mai is 17, Bloom is 10). She'd worry for her counterpart too though, as Current!Bloom is a lot physically weaker than she is and still puts herself in grave danger regularly. Current!Bloom would in turn recognize her own uncompromising brand of wit in Draft!Mai and show her respect. She'd probably secretly wish she was her counterpart because she hates being small and weak.

Draft!Vera would be irreconcilably opposed to Current!Red!Tail. She would at the very least respect her counterpart for wanting to dismantle societal structure, along with her impressive work ethic, but definitely would not agree with Current!Red!Tail's motive to create a country where there is no law over its people, as she instead wants the monsters she leads to rule over and/or kill all people. She'd also dock some points off her counterpart for serving under another, even though she does so as a highly influential commander. Current!Red!Tail would also be at odds with Draft!Vera. She wouldn't even have adversarial respect for her counterpart, however, as she has faith in the strength of humanity (definitely not all of humanity, of course), and would show no respect or mercy towards anyone who tries to deny humanity control over the world. In fact, if Current!Red!Tail's own world was under the threat of the monsters in the draft story, she'd probably fight alongside the heroes despite the massive ideological differences between her and them.

And it's time for more!

Draft!Mike would at first laugh at Current!Halberd's appearance - who would've thought he'd be wearing a kilt all of a sudden - and with an unusual name like Halberd, no less? But then he'd be very impressed that Current!Halberd Took a Level in Badass - took up fencing, became a member of a thieving gang, and even designed an airship. Oh, and turns out Halberd was a nickname... though why'd the creator change his real name to Bryan? But at least they decided to remain true to his origins as a mechanic, though now it's his father who's one and Current!Halberd just helped him out as a kid. Current!Halberd would also chuckle at the fact that Draft!Mike has Pokémon, and is a gym leader of the Steel-type no less... though he'd have to admit that's the type he would've gone with. Draft!Mike would be all "WTF?" at the discovery that Current!Halberd still has Mons, but they're not Pokemon. (That last reaction would be shared by all other Mon-owning characters in that story, which used to be a Pokemon fan fiction.)

Current!Rosaria would laugh at her old incarnation's name of Lilice, because it sounds an awful lot like Lilith. Then she would discover that later it actually was changed to Lilith, and wonder why they changed it to Rosaria. Meanwhile, Draft!Lilice would find that hilariously appropriate, because it turns out Current!Rosaria is a succubus. She'd also find it amusing that her parents' confusion of whether to name her Lily or Alice was actually fixed in Current!Rosaria, whose real first name is actually Lily-Alice. Why didn't her own parents think of a hyphen? And then the two would chat about how things have not really changed other than that, besides Current!Rosaria being a bit more flirty. And Draft!Lilice would remark that the name Lilith is waaaay too cliche for a succubus, so that's probably why her name was changed.

Draft!Nettle would at first be shocked to find out that her current version is rugged-looking boy, with a brash personality when she's more calm and gentle - but hey, at least they're both elves. Then she'd discover that the boy is named Cormack, and that Nettle is the name of this little sprite he keeps in a glass container hanging around his neck. Current!Nettle can't talk, but Cormack would speak for her, and upon hearing that Draft!Nettle is the protector of a forest, he would tell her that Current!Nettle is a forest sprite. Draft!Nettle would be offended - she's forced into silence and made the pet of this boy?

In that same vein, Draft!Cormack would mock and tease Current!Cormack for even having a Fairy Companion - it doesn't seem very manly at all! Current!Cormack would be offended at that - "It's a sprite, not a fairy! And a lot of elves have them as pets!" Draft!Cormack would laugh even more - "What, you're an elf now?" But he'd promptly shut up upon seeing Current!Cormack's arsenal of weapons - three guns and a sword and shield? That's much more badass than the sad little spear Draft!Cormack has. To which Current!Cormack would scoff, "Well, at least you're not an Expy of a popular video game character. That's why they gave me this stupid sword in the first place. I much prefer guns."

Updated version!

Draft!David and Current!Ryall would be shocked to see one other; Draft!David is perplexed by the fact he apparently switched gender and race between incarnations, whilst Current!Ryall is probably wondering why David looks like one of her other classmates. However, they quickly bond over their shared odd hobbies, clothing choices and the like.

Draft!David and Current!Nathael, after the initial shock of seeing exact physical duplicates of themselves (except for the eye color) has faded away, would find out that they really don't have much in common. Current!Nathael's far more chipper and excitable than Draft!David ever was or would be, and that's honestly pretty annoying for Draft!David, especiallyy when he keep comparing him to Ryall. Of course, when Draft!David somehow figured out Current!Nathael's Secret Identity, he'd become grudgingly acceptive of Current!Nathael, especially since he fits roughly the same role in the draft.

Current!Eilee, Genki Girl that she is, would probably try to coax Draft!Elise out of her shell, mostly because she seems really shy and in need of some friends. This mostly drives Draft!Elise deeper into her shell, as she cannot fathom why exactly a random Identical Stranger would try to befriend clumsy old her.

Draft!Slyde would initially make fun of Current!Slyde for being a ridiculously bitter Jaded Washout janitor in a high school, compared to his own illustrous career as a professional killer. Then Draft!Slyde starts gloating about his best payouts he got for his kills, Current!Slyde promptly responds with the fact that he was actually a serial killer responsible for a dozen deaths, in a world in which being a serial killer is very, very hard, as well as his plans to massacre the entire student body of Excalibur. Draft!Slyde promptly refuses to talk to someone so twisted as ['''Current!Slyde''' ] is. At least he's only in it for the money.

Draft!Khan would mock Current!Khan for being short. Unfortunately for Draft!Khan, Current!Khan is the Napoleon, and a MMA artist, to boot. Draft!Khan promptly begs for mercy after getting his ass kicked in 14 different ways.

Current!Allistair ponders why is Early!Allistair so fucking stubborn in using just the rifle and not anything else. E!Allistair just scoffs at C!Allistair's expanded arsenal as unprofessional.

Current!Albrecht offers Early!Albrecht some blood to gulp down, completely shitfaced. E!Albrecht, being a fairly non-descript psychopath probably does something stupid in response, then they get into a fight.

Current!Night Shooter and Early!Night Shooter get along swimmingly. They have low standards.

Current!Luther and Early, Shitty Sonic OC Luther likely talk about religion for a bit. C!Luther suggests that E!Luther tones down his aggression against people of other faith.

Current!Eon and Early, Shitty Sonic OC Eon don't get along at all; C!Eon considers E!Eon to be nothing but a shitty slacker with an even shittier taste in music; E!Eon in return thinks C!Eon is a paranoid mangy mutt.

Current!April, who is cynical and untrusting, meets Draft!April, a Wide-Eyed Idealist. As much as they disagree with each other, Draft reminds Current of what she used to be like before the snowstorm.

Ignatia meets a Superman expy with the same powers as her. Said expy is also a bit of a Smug Super. Ignatia wonders why this guy would have been the team leader.

Current!Forrest and Draft!Forrest are very much alike, and become instant best friends. He's pretty much the same Cloudcuckoolander Friend to All Living Things now as he was when I originally thought him up.

Current!Kevin thinks Draft!Kevin's costume is absolutely ridiculous. (The character was inspired by a superhero duck float I saw in a parade once. I've since changed his costume to look more like a penguin.)

Current!Tristan finds Draft!Tristan to be almost as cynical as April. Draft thinks Current is overly idealistic. They do have some common ground in that they're both in the performing arts (Current acts, Draft sings).

Pretty much all the antagonists come upon a guy with no name who has clearly seen some things and is also obsessed with butterflies. After a while of his rambling, they begin to realize that each one of them is a piece of him.
