Malaki: all music by bands I created called Razor Burn and Sham Rock

What is your MCs biggest secret, but not necessarily main plot-related?

Jas: I'm hooked on anti-anxiety pills. I can't...work without them, I can't pretend to be normal without the calmness they give me.

Sam: I used to be in love with Isla Highcliff. Don't laugh, alright, don't you dare bloody laugh. It's the worst sort of irony there is, now she doesn't want to know me. I could die right now and she'd dance on my grave in her faded Vans, laughing.

Your MC comes face to face with the teenaged you (the writer) in the school corridor. What is his/her first impression?

I'm not ready for this game to die!

Rick: "Get the hell out of this place while you still can, kid."
Jackie: "Geez, you look familiar..."

It's time for your MC's graduation! What does he/she do to mark the end of their education?

nerdyglam · May 29, 2013

Esse: "I'd love to go to the beach with all the other kids."

If your MC had to give a demonstrative speech to a room full of strangers, what would his/her topic be?

Rick: That depends. If I'm talking to a Union-friendly crowd, I'd talk about the war and my platoon; if I'm talking to Guppies... something that wouldn't get me killed.
Jackie: Nothing too controversial. The last thing I need is to get in trouble for opening my yap.

Is your MC an early bird or a night owl?

Is your MC an early bird or a night owl?

Ithaca Vianne Porter-Hamilton (TiNES/SDWK/SS): I have a rockstar, magician, and a fashion designer/drag queen for dads. A new baby and a husband in med school. I'd say I'm a night owl.

Felicity Catherine Dennis (WFR): Early to bed early to rise.

Briony Adrian St. Regis (BLC): Night owl mostly.

Liberty "Libby" Anne Van Owen (FTAM): Daddy's the night anchor so I stay up at least until 11, sometimes later if I want to watch Chelsea Lately.

Zoe Sabrina Chelsea Hamilton (SS): Depends on what house I'm in for the night. Dad doesn't care when I go to bed just as long as I'm getting sleep. If I stay with Nanna Lauren she makes me go to bed when Aunt Erica goes to bed.

What is your MC's summer sleep schedule? Do they go days without sleeping or are they the last ones to pry themselves out of bed?

Rick: Summer? What summer? I mean, I try to get a solid five or six every day, but my job is year-round. We don't exactly get summer vacation.

Jackie: When I have leave, I generally try to stick to the same sleep schedule so I'm not too screwed up when I have to go back to work. With that said, most of my fellow Americans can be found in bed all summer...

Your MC has the house to himself for twenty-four hours. No kids, no spouse, no parents, no roommates, no human life of any kind. What does he do with the time?

Call her BFF and have a slumber party.

What would your MC do in the reversed situation? If the house was FULL of
people? Be it family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, whatever. What would your MC do?

Jessie · May 30, 2013

Andine: I would visit with them. I love talking with anyone... for the most part.

What would you MC do if they were cornered in a dark alley by someone with a knife?

Laugh at their ignorance. If they knew who she was they would run while the getting away was good. But since they don't, they'll be leaving the alley shortly with a hand burned so bad they'll never be able to hold a knife in it again.

What would your MC do if they fell into Wonderland?

SASHA: I'd use the same tactics I used when facing my fears. But I'd probably have a breakdown because of my over-active imagination. My Wonderland...I don't even wanna think about it.

What is your MC's best asset?

The small splinter of the True Cross she rescued from a desecrated monastery and her faith in the power of said splinter of cross, which brings her courage and hope in the face of adversity and great loss.

What is your MC's favourite outfit?

What is your MC's favourite outfit?

Well, the clothes she is wearing were mass produced before the War, and she doesn't have anything else to wear. So I guess I'd say, the outfit she always wears.

How far would your MC go to protect their family?

eyeblink · Jun 1, 2013

Agnieszka: I would give my life for my sisters. I really would. I'd be prepared to die. I'd sacrifice myself if it'd save them.

How computer-literate or technology-literate is your MC?

Rick: As skilled as I need to be for my job. I'm no programmer, but I can use what's already been made for me.

Jackie: Compared to what? To my parents, I'm a genius. But to anyone of my generation? I'm backwards. Technology and I aren't friends.

Is your MC musically inclined?

Is your MC musically inclined?

Ithaca Vianne Porter-Hamilton (TiNES/SDWK): Not at all. I appreciate music but I can't play it. Daddy Tricky says I'm tone deaf and prays that it stays that way.

Felicity Catherine Dennis (WFR or SCP): I can play the piano, sort of. Meaning I can plunk out Happy Birthday or Jingle Bells. Training takes up most of my time.

Briony Adrian St. Regis (BLC): Like Felicity, I can sort of play the piano.

Liberty "Libby" Anne Van Owen (FTAM): Gran put me in piano when I was little but I didn't really take to it. Being dyslexic, reading music is really hard.

Zoe Sabrina Chelsea Hamilton (SS): I took after my grandpa Tricky and took up magic instead of music. My aunts Pemberley and Erica are the musical ones in the family.

Erica Amber Porter (SS): I am a classically trained pianist.

How would your MC describe their life? Hallmark Channel movie of the week or a Rob Zombie directed horror flick? Or something in between?

Rick: I mean, I'm a soldier in a country locked in civil war. I don't think my life is on the hallmark channel...

Jackie: As much as I hate to say it, my life would probably be made into one of those "coming-of-age" tales. Like the awkward high school movie, except we get to kill people.

Is your MC the "brawn" or the "brain"?

Ithaca Vianne Porter-Hamilton (TiNES/SDWK): The brains.

Felicity Catherine Dennis (WFR): The brains and sometimes the beauty. With Deacon I am the beauty and the brains.

Briony Adrian St. Regis (BLC): Brains. Larisa's the beauty and Leo's the brawn.

Liberty "Libby" Anne Van Owen (FTAM): Neither. I don't know what I am, in that sense. I guess Huck would say I'm the beauty.

Zoe Sabrina Chelsea Hamilton (SS): I guess I'd be the brains. It's takes a lot of skill to be a magician. I'd have a bit of brawn too because female magicians are rare.

What's your MC's go-to pump-up, getting ready in the morning song?

Edit for consistency: turns out, upon writing further, DJ likes to wake up to Eve to Adam's Straightjacket Supermodel. He still occasionally sings into the spoon while he's stirring his oatmeal.

If your MC could wake up tomorrow with some skill or knowledge they currently don't possess, for example, language or gymnastics, what would it be?

Rick: To speak Spanish. That's not even a question. I'm so tired of not being able to understand my crew members when they speak that rotten language... believe me, I've tried learning!

Jackie: I'd like to be faster. I know that's not a skill, but I can barely keep up with my soldiers as it is. How am I supposed to lead them if I can't pick up my feet fast enough to be in front of them?

Your MC finds himself in the back of a police car on the way to the slammer. What'd he do to deserve that special seat?

Grace probably got in the middle of a fight between her friend Morgan and some rando who pissed her off.

Miah was probably charged with breaking and entering an abandoned home or other building on a ghost hunt.

If your MC were to write a book, what would it be about (fiction or non, fantasy or contemp, etc.)?

Bree doesn't hate reading or anything, but she's not terribly literary either. I could see her trying to get together an epistolary book of letters to her father/documents pertaining to his life though.

Your MC needs a ride: what kind of transportation does he/she choose?

Edited because holy typos, Batman.

Ithaca Vianne Porter-Hamilton (TiNES/SDWK): In NYC, the subway. In San Francisco, my car or the cable cars.

Felicity Catherine Dennis (WFR): My horse Flyleaf or Deacon drives.

Briony Adrian St. Regis (BLC): The NOLA streetcars or Leo's motorcycle.

Liberty "Libby" Anne Van Owen (FTAM): Savannah's car. Or Aunt Stephanie usually will give me a ride.

Was your MC on Team Angel or Team Spike?

Hate double posting but this thread needs a jumpstart!

Ithaca Porter-Hamilton (TiNES/SDWK): Angel was just too broody for me. I loved Spike.

Emily Dennis (WFR): Definetely Spike. Man, maybe Joss should use Kickstarter to get a Buffy reunion film going.

Briony St. Regis (BLC): Bucking the common thought and going with Angel.

Libby Van Owen (FTAM): Siding with Briony too. Angel's eyes do things to me.

What's your MC's favorite part about the Fourth of July?

Nan: The fourth day of July? I don't even remember which saint's day we celebrate then! Wait while I ask my aunt, the Abbess....
My aunt says Bishop Odo of Canterbury is 4th July. Why, do you venerate him? Truly, I am agog to know. Is Spokane a village near Canterbury?

What is the most exotic foodstuff your mc has ever eaten and what did they think of it?

When DJ's crush sent him candy, he ate it. Never mind that his crush is not only an alien, but an alien tyrant who had every reason to be trying to poison or drug him when she sent it, and had never shown any compunction against doing either to those who opposed her in the past. Fortunately for him, the sentiment was genuine, but he still got a little sick because, y'know, space food.

Your MC just hid something under their bed! What is it?
