Choose twelve of your original characters in any particular order. (NO PEEKING AT THE QUESTIONS AT THIS STAGE!) Then, answer the questions that follow.
1) Asher - Street trash house-thief turned Turk, although not entirely willingly. Short-tempered, enjoys ass-kicking (S_F)
2) Ally - Street kid (less trashy than Asher), good at fixing things and being cute, bad at cooking. Loves guns (S_F)
3) Naomi - Daughter of a whore, works as a stripper - doesn't know who her father is. Half-Wutaian. (S_F)
4) Damien - The only one of my S_F characther who isn't total street-trash; he lives with his mom and little bro when he's not staying with Jey, and has a legimate job working in a warehouse somewhere. Big and friendly (S_F)
5) Jey - Tatooed, quiet - doesn't talk about his past at all. Helps Asher out with jobs, and unlike Ally, can actually cook. Damien's boyfriend (S_F)
6) Sam - Originally from a middle-class family, was kicked out and now lives with Asher and company in the slums. Shy, but means well (S_F)
7) Alex - ex-mercenery, now an alcoholic bar bouncer. Has Issues, mostly revolving around the last job he worked as a merc (Sprawl)
8) Mira - formly a molecular engineering for Maas, she had enough of that corporate shit and now works as a console jockey in the Sprawl (Sprawl)
9) Isaac - Rather brilliant math-geek, as well as university prof in Massachusetts. Oh so gay. Likes violent movies, chocolate, and Raphael (original)
10) Raphael - former warrior-angel who's kind of given that up in favor of living on Earth. Totally fascinated with how humans view religion, and loves Isaac (original)
11) Malcolm - British, storm mage, somewhat mopey. Desperately wants to make a living as a writer, but is stuck in a dead-end job in the publishing industry instead (original)
12) Mikhail - Russian ex-con, slowly dying of multi-drug resistant TB he picked up in the prision system. Does a lot of drugs, has some special power I haven't decided on yet (WR2?)
01) Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Malcom, hands-down. Particularly as Sam is sixteen and a high school drop-out. He'd teach English, definately, and would probably really like to teach Creative Writing.
02) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Ally is less hot and more cute. Adorable, even, although not entirely in that asexual small child way. Mara's description was 'Tori Amos on Prozac', which is actually not far off. I dunno, I'd do her XD;
03) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Data theft of some variety, and hell yes it would. Mira is proud of her skill at her job.
04) What is or would be 9’s favorite book?
Oh god, probably Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica or something equally math-dorky I haven't heard about. Seriously, the guy loves math, and I have trouble writing him 'cause he's smarter than him. Or possibly Silence of the Lambs or something in that vein - Isaac is the type to like intelligent thrillers
05) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Sam to Ally, definately - she's pretty much the only reason he hasn't ended up dead yet. Ally took him in (well, as much as living in an abandoned factory building can be considered 'in'), and she's got his loyalty for life for that.
06) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Hmm. Jey couldn't go too wrong with either of them, but I'd say Raphael just because he's a bit more mellow, even though I'm not sure how well he'd deal with the fact that Jey is total street-trash. But Isaac has a bit of atemper, and not a whole lot of tolerance for people less intelligent than himself, at least in the long-term.
07) 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Cheap diner! Or noodle stand, or something. It'd be cheap and slightly sketchy, though. And hmm. Life on the streets? Or guns, more like - ex-merc, ex-con, and gun-loving street kid. Probably Ally would just totally take over the conversation, Alex and Mikhail are not the most trusting, and would likely spend the whole time giving each other suspicious looks.
08) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Raphael would probably try and talk her out of it - as much as Naomi definately has some street-fighting tricks up her sleeves (she's a stripper beneath the plate, she kind of has to), Raphe has the advantage of being one, immortal, and two, a trained warrior. And he only likes smiting evil, which Naomi kind of isn't. If it came to fighting, he'd either let her win or kick her ass as gently as possible and then feel bad about it.
09) If 1 stole 8’s most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?
She would probably just go in and take it ('it' most likely being a deck, or something her mother gave her that's been passed through the family), and kick any ass that got in her way. Mira is rather no-nonsense like that; Asher'd probably like her, actually.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
...I fail at story titles, totally. They both desire happiness which seems to come in the form of taking lots of drugs to forget about how shitty their situations are. Possibly something with 'Lethe' in it because I'm a mythology dork.
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
I don't need one really; they live together. Probably if one of them managed to get into some trouble and needed a hand with the ass-kicking and what not.
12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Badly, probably. Alex is not really a people-person (what with kind of killing for a living for a while), and he's also bitter, alcoholic, and nearly twice my age.
13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Strip-tease XD;! Naomi is some sexy, definately, and, well, it is kinda her job.
14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Nope. Nobody draws or writes any of these other than me, 'cept Ally, who Mara draws for me <3
15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Oh, hell. I'm not sure how she'd choose, or why she would have to in the first place. If it really came down to it, though, probably Jey because he has no one else to back him up other than Damien, while Damien does. And Jey makes her cookies.
16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
I don't actually know, which is ironic as Raphe has definately done some charging-into-battle in the past. Likely something deeply meaningful and religious in either Hebrew or a language that doe
17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
'Walk the Walk', Poe. Which is actually one of my Eva songs, but they've got a lot in common. Ass-kicking chicks who make their own paths in life, yay!
18) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Well, Raphael is married, and also a hell of a lot older than Ally, so nothing would truly work, but he might play-flirt back at almost anything Ally would say, because Ally tends to be like that. And Ally's idea of a good pick-up line is 'Let's go get noodles :D :D :D'.
19) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Breaking and entering, posession of drugs, or of stolen property. Yay, street-trash.
20) What is 7’s secret?
Alex has a lot of secrets, but 'the' secret would probably be what exactly went wrong at his very last job as a merc. He doesn't talk about it, ever, and just drinks a lot instead to try and forget about it.
Yeah, I've got too many S_F characters (people owe me posts, damnit), and I really desperately need to do something with some of these guys.
1) Asher - Street trash house-thief turned Turk, although not entirely willingly. Short-tempered, enjoys ass-kicking (S_F)
