12-characters-meme-thing
Shamelessly stolen off Danji, who stole it off kinkyturtle, who appears to have filched it off someone else... WHEE. I'll ElJaycut the answers, to keep from cluttering up peoples friendslists.
Les instructiones:
Choose twelve of your original characters, in any particular order. Then, answer the questions that follow, but DON'T LOOK AT THE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PICK THE CHARACTERS!
Naturally, it'd have to be the core cast, with five extras. I'll put some baddies in for fun. Yay!
1. Ivy f ("like, duh")
2. Aileena f (aka "Lena", the newtlooking psychically talented one, partner of 3)
3. Yaaren m (aka "Ren", ex-gladiator (world renowned), weapons expert, partner of 2)
4. Slate m (grumpy weredragon nurse, partner of 5)
5. Onyx m (chief engineer, partner of 4)
6. Dominae Diheevi m (one main badguy Kiravai, High Commissar of Shuuva)
7. Doctor Naiiri f (Kiravai consultant specialist in reproductive medicine, exile)
8. Ral'gasane Stargazer m (Ito's brother, terrorist, Ivy's lover for a very VERY short time)
9. Magpie "f" (Dauntless' computer, semi-sentient)
10. Breeze f (Zephyr's twin, Iios' replacement, slightly-psychotic)
11. Saar'nouven Slimtail m (Vul, doctor and specialist in replacement body-parts.)
12. Lii m (Azure's partner, ex-captain of the Imperial Fleet)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Diheevi) or 11 (Nou)?
Nou already is. :P But I think Diheevi would be pretty damn excellent at teaching business sense and hostile takeovers.
2. Do you think #2 (Lena) is hot? How hot?
No. To start with, she's a woman. Additionally, she's very slightly based off MY anatomy, and I don't think *I*'m hot.
3. 12 (Lii) sends 8 (Ral) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Some sort of incursion into Kiravai space to filch something, and it'd only work if Lii paid Ral some extraordinarily huge sum that some unscrupulous Dominae couldn't top. Which, let's face it, ain't going to happen.
4. What is or would be 9's (Magpie's) favourite book?
"Life for Dummies"
5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Lena) to swear fealty to 6 (Diheevi), or the other way around?
Well, it doesn't make much sense either way, but fft, Diheevi wouldn't swear fealty to ANY non-Kiravai (and not many Kiravai either, for that matter.), especially not an animal.
6. For whatever reason, 5 (Onyx) is looking for a roommate. Should 5 (Onyx) share a studio apartment with 9 (Magpie) or with 10 (Breeze)?
Already "shares a room" with Magpie, since he lives on Dauntless. Breeze is a bit too much of a psycho. But if we're not talking Dauntless, it'd HAVE to be Breeze, since Magpie's kinda tied to the ship. :P Bit difficult to share a flat with a starship.
7. 2 (Lena), 7 (Naiiri), and 12 (Lii) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Some fancy place like a sushi bar or one of those fancy restaurants that sell teenytiny portions (two ARE Kiravai after all). They'd probably discuss politics or medicine or something.
8. 3 (Ren) challenges 10 (Breeze) to a duel. What happens?
Oh man, I'd pay to see this. :D Weapons expert vs psycho Siinu. HURRAH.
9. If 1 (Ivy) stole 8's (Ral's) most precious possession, how would 8 (Ral) get it back?
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha.... !! *snorts down nose* It usually happens the other way round with this two. :P I think Ivy would only steal Ral's most precious posession by escaping from him. :P
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Naiiri) and 12 (Lii) both attain what they most desire.
...it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense unless they were sorta connected in the first place, and I don't do titles anyway.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Slate) and 1 (Ivy) to work together?
Dauntless.
12. If 7 (Naiiri) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Probably fairly well - both medically-minded, and she gets on with anyone.
13. If you could command 3 (Ren) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
...go fight Breeze? ;) I don't know.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw anything regarding 11 (Nou)?
No
15. If 2 (Lena) had to choose sides between 4 (Slate) and 5 (Onyx), which would it be?
Well, since Slate and Onyx are "married", it'd be have to be pretty drastic. :P But probably Slate, since Onyx tends to be an idiot at times.
16. What might 10 (Breeze) shout while charging into battle?
She wouldn't shout, she'd scream. :P
17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Ral), which song would you choose?
"Money", Pink Floyd
18. 1 (Ivy), 6 (Diheevi), and 12 (Lii) 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?
Diheevi, naturally. Unless Ivy grabbed it first and gave it to Lii, and even then Diheevi would probably filch it.
Incidentally: WTF is a scallion? Is it a courgette or something?
Edit: Oh, a spring onion. Okay.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Lena) to use on 10 (Breeze)?
Well, if Breeze was a guy, and Lena wasn't already married... plus, it'd probably be something like:
Breeze: "Why do you wish to lift me?"
20. What would 5 (Onyx) most likely be arrested for?
Public indecency :P
21. What is 6's (Diheevi's) secret?
All of the disgraceful things happening on Shuuva colony. And his desire to be Emperor. Oh, no, wait, the second isn't a secret.
22. If 11 (Nou) and 9 (Magpie) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Magpie, of course. She IS a starship.
23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Naiiri) or 8 (Ral)?
Ral, all the way; he might be a terrorist and a psycho, but hell, get on his good side and you'd have NOTHING to fear. Let's face it, would you want a tiger or a lamb to protect you from a band of thugs?
24. 1 (Ivy) and 9 (Magpie) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Slate's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Nou) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is actually a spy for 4 (Slate). Meanwhile, 4 (Slate) has kidnapped 12 (Lii) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Onyx), they seek out 3 (Ren), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
"Total load of utter bollocks". :D Onyx, wise? Slate, sinister evil genuis? Aaahaha.
Edit: And yes, maybe I AM a boring old tart, but "talk like a pirate day" is fecking stupid. :P I'll talk like a modern day, fairly cultured pirate, thanks. :P
