Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG you played them in. Once you've picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until you've picked your characters!) Put your answers behind a LJ-cut.

Including web games and LARP, I hope it doesn't mess up the meme.

1. Jay Wolfe (Verbena mage from Mage)
2. The Cat (Weretiger Physical Adept from Shadowrun)
3. Shinobu (Selubri Monk from Vampire)
4. spook_in_mach (Kyrio of Lightning from In Nomine)
5. Olo (Halfling archer from Warhammer Fantasy)
6. Janim (Ofinite of the Wind from In Nomine)
7. Bakina (Female Faleen First Officer from Star Wars)
8. Corp (Squib Jedi from Star Wars)
9. Gabriel Codwell (Brujah from Vampire LARP)
10. Hunts by Scent (Blind Red Talon from Werewolf)
11. Vallen (Windling Beastrider from Earthdawn)
12. The Kid (Orphan street rat from Deadlands: Hell on Earth)

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?

Jamin or Vallen? Probably the Windling. While Jamin is very good at hitting things, he probably can't sit still long enough to teach, plus that whole move every three days thing. Vallen would do good on history or geography of Barsaive, or animal handling.

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?

The Cat? Well kinda. His Charisma wasn't very high, he had a kinda feral look. Though he was gorgeous in his Siberian Tiger form. In a really large cat way.

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

A 7 year old sends a wanna be Jedi master on assignment? OK, um, probably something to do with finding his mother (she died, horrible accident, fortunately she came back as a ghost to raise him, no he's not well adjusted). And probably not, Crop messes stuff up that a lot. Maybe if he can get the rest of the Jedi's to do it for him, which is his usual form of attack.

4) What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?

I don't think Gabriel is much of a book reader, more along the lines of the Wall Street Journal. Unless he could get his hands on a Tremre tome on blood bonds.

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
The Cat would be more likely to swear to Janim. The Cat isn't good with leadership, more of a point and shoot type. And they'd get along well too. Stealing and a shadowrunner, plus both combat monsters? All good.

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?

Olo, the "want's to stay at home in a very nice home" halfling rooming with a) Hunts by Scent, a psychotic and murderous werewolf or b) Vallen a Windling with lots of pets? Vallen, certainly. They are even both small people!

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

The Cat, Bakina, and the Kid? Well, they are all thieves (which I have a lot of in that list, very interesting...) so some seedy bar and probably some heist or their battle stories.

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

Shinobu, a 7th gen asian vampire monk challenges Hunts by Scent, a pack leader for the Red Talons? Shinobu probably dies. He might put up a god fight, but he's more of a healer and diplomat. And Hunts by Scent is a very good killer, even if he is blind. Not a fan of vampires either.

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?

Jay Wolfe, a very powerful and resourceful Life mage steals Corp's lightsaber. Corp would probably either get the other Jedi's to help him (and he'd lie about how evil this "mage' is) or get the new Republic to do it. I don't think it'd work though, as long as Jay stayed with his strenghts.

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.

Bakina, tough as nails first officer (think Zoe of Firefly) and the Kid get what they most desire? For both it's total independence. That means money, no one trying to kill them and everyone who screwed them very dead. Since they are both from sci-fi worlds, Rags to Riches: a Space Opera?

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?

spook_n_mach and Jay Wolfe, a Kyrio of Lightning and a Life mage working together. Jay has techo- shaman tendencies when dealing with Correspondence, so I'd use some hook dealing with the Net in the Umbra and something that was hurting both the War between Heaven and Hell and that between Traditional mages and the Technocracy.

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?

Bakina visits? Probably not. She's quiet mean and jaded with life. It might be a nice vacation for her, but she likes though at rich and expensive places. We'd have little in common.

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

If I had a salubri monk at my disposal I'd probably ask him to "heal" my eyes. Get rid of these glasses without the laser surgery.

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?

Vallen, WIndling beastmaster, would be closest to:

_souvraya_ I guess. She just screams windling...

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?

The Cat teams up with Olo or spook_n_mach? spook, I'd think. The Cat isn't very techno-savvy, so he'd pick someone those skills. He knows his weaknesses.

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

He'd just howl.

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

Matirel Girl by Madonna

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?

Jay, Jamin and the Kid. The mage and the Ofinite would both happily give the food to the starving street rat.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?

The Cat, a weretiger, picking up Hunts by Scent, an alpha werewolf? LOL! I'm sure it be more on the body language and pheromones than words.

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

Olo arrested? Most likely because of the group he travels with versus anything he actually did. Breaking the law takes a lot of work.

21) What is 6's secret?

Janim's secret is that his kick ass daggers were stolen from another angel. Not too bad for a WIndy, but the Swordy is not pleased.

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Vallen vs. Gabriel Codwell in a race. If Vallen can use his mount, then he'd win. Very fast flying rat/bird/lizard thing. If he was on the ground, Gabriel would win. Celerity and being like six times the windling's height would be advantages to the vampire.

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?

Bakina would be much better in a bad neighborhood than Corp. While Jedi powers are nice, Bakina grew up in a bad neighborhood and is one of the people who help to make a neighborhood bad.

24) 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?

Not very good at fic titles...

OK, recap: Jay Wolfe (Verbena mage) and Gabriel Codwell (Brujah vampire) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by spook_in_mach's (Kyrio of Lightning) sinister secret organization. Vallen (Windling Beastrider) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is actually a spy for spook_in_mach. Meanwhile, spook_in_mach has kidnapped The Kid (orphan street rat) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of Olo (Halfling archer), they seek out Shinobu (Selubri Monk), who gives them what they need to complete their quest.

Life and Death vs. the Net?
