[RPG] Okay, I'll bite
RPG questionaire thingy. Seems like a nice interlude between acts of random admin...
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.
1. Selgard (Legendary Master Psionicist, Assassin, noble and politician, Labyrinthe LARP)
2. Nachtherr (Sluagh Changeling assassin in Changeling the Dreaming LARP)
3. Dr Mark Welham ab-Neftet (Khri-habi mummy, doctor, scientist and philanthropist, Mummy LARP)
4. Kuo Li (Discordian Akashic Mage, Mage tabletop)
5. Harley (Insane priest and Avatar of the Laughing God, Labyrinthe LARP)
6. Nadriel (Neutral Good archlich, D&D tabletop)
7. David Mercer (Gangrel elder, bodyguard and sheriff, Vampire Dark Ages LARP)
8. Vaclav Svobodaya (Camarilla Tzimisce, gentleman and monster, Vampire LARP)
9. Ichigo/Shinsei/Woodborn/Shadowseeker (Ninja bounty hunter, Labyrinthe LARP)
10. Talks-With-City (Thyrsus mage, city shaman and vagrant, Awakening LARP)
11. Thomas Hamilton (Ventrue occult scholar, psychologist and control freak, Requiem LARP)
12. Kogashuko (Samurai Troll Changeling, Changeling LARP)
1) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?
They'd both be very good- both are very knowledgeable in their fields, and have the right sort of attitude. Nadriel would probably win overall, as he's not got any derangements, and has about 2000 years more experience.
2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
He's a creepy sluagh. Really not hot.
3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Given Kogashuko, it'd be to go and slay an enemy of whoever he was currently serving. Assuming he could get Vaclav to go on the mission, and assuming it was at night, then it'd likely be successful- Vaclav after all was a fairly formidable combatant (Chiroptean Marauder for the win, and all that).
4) What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?
Probably something on anatomy or natural poisons.
5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
It definitely wouldn't make sense for Nadriel to swear to Nachtherr, whereas Nachtherr would do the reverse if the alternative was likely to be bad for him (ie, being an evil bastard in front of a goodly lich).
6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
Well, Harley wouldn't have a problem with anyone, but Ichigo, the highly Lawful and orderly ninja would go nuts living with the avatar of a chaos god, and probably end up trying to kill him, but always randomly fail. Harley wouldn't notice.
On the other hand, Talks-With-City would probably get on just fine, as he spends a lot of time dealing with spirits, who can be very strange and random indeed...
7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Hmm, Nachtherr, David Mercer and Kogashuko...they probably end up going to a Japanese restaurant, as it'll have stuff that both Nachtherr and Kogashuko like, whilst David Mercer will get a bite later. The conversation will likely revolve around combat methods, and how they serve their respective lords/masters.
8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Not a lot, I should imagine. Talks probably wouldn't accept anyway. If the duel did happen, Mark would counter most of Talks' magic, and use some of his own. Talks would probably have to get physical, which would be a fairly even match, unless Talks can get a spell off, in which case he'd probably win.
9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
Well, first Vaclav would have to find out, given that Selgard is protected from divinations, capable of turning invisible and changing his appearance, teleporting and walking through walls, among other things. Assuming he somehow managed to, he'd be furious, and devote everything he had to getting it back- minions, contacts, money, and so forth. Then he'd go along personally, get the item back, and try to redecorate in arterial red. Except of course, he'd be hideously outclassed by Selgard if he tried, even with elder disciplines.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
"Zen and the art of beating hundreds of foes honourably"
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Something that drops Kuo Li into contact with Selgard. There may be saving the world (again) involved.
12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Quite well- I'd be picking up combat tips and strategy.
13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Make me a bunch of amulets that enhance me (although if I had to choose only one enhancement, it'd be intelligence)
14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
Thankfully no...
15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Nachtherr choosing between a Discordian mage and the insane avatar of a chaos god? Probably the avatar- it's more powerful, so he'd benefit more from being on Harley's side. Or at least he'd think that was the case...
16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"City watch over me!"
17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Within Temptation - Deciever of Fools...
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?
Selgard- he'd teleport it to his hand at the speed of thought. Besides Nadriel wouldn't be really eating anyway (no internal organs worth speaking of), so the only competetion would be Kogashuko.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Wouldn't happen...
20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
He never gets arrested- the things that happen around him never seem to be traceable back to him...
21) What is 6's secret?
Well, generally he uses magical disguises to hide the fact that he's a lich- it tends to put off those he works with.
22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first
Ichigo, without a doubt. Supernatural ninja powers and agility will beat a single level of Celerity any day.
23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
David Mercer, definitely- as elders go, he's fairly nice, and he's even tougher than Vaclav in a fight. Plus he's unlikely to decide I'd be better as a snack or novelty ornament.
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?
So, Selgard and Ichigo- yeah, that would work. Selgard has worked with evil types from time to time, for the greater good. Kuo Li's sinister secret organisation- the Discordian Society? Thomas Hamilton helping, I can see, if he could gain, but not sure why he'd be spying for the Discordians. Maybe they're pretending to be the Illuminati again. Kuo Li kidnapping Kogashuko? Tricky, but doable. Wise advice from Harley? Yep, surprisingly, part of the portfolio of the Laughing God is knowing things that aren't supposed to be known, and releasing them at the right time. And Dr Welham is perfectly suited to have the thing they need, given how well suited for messing up mages mummies are...
So, a title then...

"Never Bring A Discordian to a Knife Fight"
no subject
no subject
2 - Essien (Eshu Grump, same LARP)
3 - Kester Spirit Scent (canine beastman pup, Heart of Pargon LARP)
4 - Jules Freidmann (Gangrel child elder, latest incarnation on wodomaha fora)
5 - Ali Stones (Corax adrenaline junkie, wodcairo fora)
6 - Marcus (Metis ahroun Spiral. Werewolf:tA tabletop)
7 - Kasie (Scourge (asharu) pacifist. latest incarnation on wodchicago boards)
8 - David DaSilva (Tremere (honest) bodyguard/research assistant. wodomaha boards)
9 - Herfilligr Skuldaligd (Renegade Tellefret shaman. Heart of Pargon LARP)
10 - Silver (Ok, technically an NPC demon, but I always play him. Heart of Pargon LARP)
11 - Burhan Pedder (Blind Seer kid in Pargon.)
12 - Nemainn (psycho-bitch elven berserker and one-time dragon rider, D&D 2nd then 3rd ed)
1) Who would make a better college professor: 6 (Marcus), or 11 (Burhan)?
The psychotic paranoid bulemic with a taste for human flesh or the somewhat noble blind seer. I'd say Burhan, Marcus would just kill, rape and/or eat the people offering him a chair, in a random selection of orders.
2) Do you think 2 (Essien) is hot? How hot?
Umm... not really, but then I can't say there are many men who would qualify for that in my eyes, especially ones who look rather like me.
3) 12 (Nemainn) sends 8 (David) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Well, assuming she could persuade him that the mission was for the good of the House and Clan, probably killing something. David's reasonably good at that.
4) What is, or would be, 9(Herfilligr)'s favourite book?
Somehow russian folk tales seem appropriate...
5) Would it make more sense for 2 (Essien) to swear fealty to 6 (Marcus), or the other way around?
I think the other way round. Essien might be able to talk Marcus into it.
6) For some reason, 5 (Ali) is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9 (Herfilligr), or 10 (Silver)?
Tricky, tricky. Ali would probably have a field day with either, but Herfilligr can't enforce his personal space by preventing any living being from entering within 20 feet of him, so probably him.
7) 2 (Essien), 7 (Kasie), and 12 (Nemainn) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Probably Harley's (as it was still open in the Changeling game). Chnaces are Nemainn and Kasie get into an argument over appropriate use of violence, and Essien ends up trying to prevent them from demonstrating.
no subject
So the scared little wolf pup challenges the big scary demon to a fight? Chances are, Silver would ignore Kester's pathetic attempts to harm him, then slap the pup away and wander off once he gets bored.
9) If 1 (Caligula) stole 8(David)'s most precious possession, how would they get it back?
So that'd be the broadsword. Probably talking his enders into tracking it down using Auspex or Thaumaturgy, then using the sword to pin the child to the neares available wall. If he didn't know what Calligla was, he'd be getting some wierd dreams, too.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Kasie) and 12 (Nemainn) both attain what they most desire.
It'd probably be some cheesy comic strip involving the words "Baff" "Pow" and "Wap" a lot. Some suitably cheesy title is therefore in order. "Demons and Angels"?
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Jules) and 1 (Caligula) to work together?
I'm sure some greater evil could unite them. that or Jules could pretend to be a normal kid (well, aside from the mute bit), and then get Caligula to accompany him on various adventures that advanced his long-term goals.
12) If 7 (Kasie) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Hard to say, as she turned out to be in many ways the person I wish I could be. She'd probably get frustrated with me for not being.
13) If you could command 3 (Kester) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Sick Hunter (his alpha) ona a number of politicians...
14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (Burhan) (either in appearance or personality)?
I don't believe anyone on my friends list has had their eyes burned out, and I don't believe any of them are as mentally broken as this kid, so no, thankfully.
15) If 2 (Essien) had to choose sides between 4 (Jules) and 5 (Ali), which would it be?
Probably Ali. He's more fun, and even Grumps have to have fun once in a while.
16) What might 10 (Silver) shout while charging into battle?
He neither charges nor shouts. He'd probably wander forwards smiling amusedly at the pathetic insects trying to get in his way.
17) If you chose a song to represent 8 (David), which song would you choose?
Brothers in Arms by Hammerfall. Or something religious about duty, sacrifice and pulling your enemies' arms off, and beating their firends to death with them.
no subject
Well, Nemainn and Marcus would kick off, probably at each other, and Calligula would snatch it and run away, leaving them to kill one another over the food he's already eaten.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Essien) to use on 10 (Silver)?
I really can't see it happening... well, not outside the badness that is some fanfic *shudders*.
20) What would 5 (Ali) most likely be arrested for?
Breaking and Entering. He's always getting into places he's not welcome.
21) What is 6(Marcus)'s secret?
Secret? He's quite open about the fact that he eats people before/after/while raping them. Did I mention that he wasn't a very nice character?
22) If 11 (Burhan) and 9 (Herfilligr) were racing to a destination, who would get there first
If it was within Sanga, possibly Burhan, as he knows that city fairly well, but still not certain. Anywhere else Herfilligr. He's not blind.
23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Kasie) or 8 (David)?
Kasie. She can handle herself, usually carries a can of mace, and probably wouldn't decide to eat me. Plus she's easier on the eyes.
24) 1 (Caligula) and 9 (Herfilligr) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4(Jules)'s sinister secret organization. 11 (Burhan) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4 (Jules). Meanwhile, 4 (Jules) has kidnapped 12 (Nemainn) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Ali), they seek out 3 (Kester), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
The adventurous Troll kid and the Shaman saving the world from a vampire's plots. So far, so good. Burhan may help them, but quite why he'd be working for Jules I'm not sure. Probably either blood bound or coerced into it through threats to an innocent third party. Jules kidnapping Nemainn? He might be an elder in years, but not in power scale, so that would be interesting to see. Probably involved drugging her or somesuch. Ali would probably have some useful secrets. Kester carries... nothing. I suppose he could try and get the Mother of Blood to protect them from Jules' disciplines or summat.
For some reason the name "Troll Bridge" comes to mind, along with the idea that all of the above is actually talking about a card game in which Burhan and Ali were cheating for different sides, Kester stumps up his life savings of 10 rava (not all that much) for the final bet, and Nemainn gets forced into playing on Jules' team.
