Topic: Game: OC Character Development

Yet another idea from my all-too-lovely-extremely-loved website Mibba. Feel free to visit it sometime. It's got the BEST writers i've ever seen. :)

Okay, here's how this goes.

You don't really have to use an OC, but it would be more fun that way.... You're not allowed to describe your character. That's the whole point of this topic-- trying to show your character's personality by answering questions.

The idea here is embodying your OC (whether its a fanfic OC or an RPG OC).

NOw, what you're supposed to do, is answer the question of ther person above you through the eyes of your OC. After you've done that, at the end of the post, put a question for the next person to answer (go and ask the craziest questions you can think of--as long as they're answerable)...and it goes on and on until, well, forever. (Kind of like the Story/Review game, only, this one's for character development) :)

I'll start off with a question...

What do you think of doorknobs?

#1 Apr 22nd, 6:47am . Edited by Rhea Silverkeys, May 05th, 10:22am
Oracle Five

This looks interesting. I'll give it a go.

I'll start off with a question...

What do you think of doorknobs?

...What's a doorknob?

(BTW, are we supposed to explain why our OC answers the way they do?)

Next Question: What do you want for lunch today?

#2 Apr 22nd, 7:32am
Asmus

My OC would say: "I don't care what you make for lunch, food is food, and if your are picky about what you eat that's your problem, not mine."

Question - Would you like to play a game?

P.S. I would also like to know if we must explain our answers.

#3 Apr 22nd, 10:58am
miarath

Oh, well, my OC's answer would be: Depends on the kind of Game.

All right, my question: Do you fear the dark?

(Shouldn't be this under 'Game'? As well explaining the answers would give the character away, wouldn't it? )

#4 Apr 22nd, 12:08pm . Edited Apr 22nd, 12:11pm
General Havoc

Answer: Not any longer.

Question: Where are you from?

#5 Apr 22nd, 5:00pm
Pyrefly07

OC/Answer:

I kinda forgot...I always seem to do that...they say its a problem but its pretty funny.

Me/Question:

Hot or Cold weather?

#6 Apr 23rd, 4:57am
miarath

OC: Definitely hot weather. Cold weather is bad for driving.

My question: Why is it a problem that you do not remember from where you are?

#7 Apr 23rd, 10:51am . Edited Apr 23rd, 10:52am
Asmus

Answer: Because then I don't know which places to avoid and some idiots, living there, aren't happy with what I might have done to them. Even though it was their own fault ... idiots.

Question: What do you think about girls?

#8 Apr 23rd, 12:39pm
miarath

OC: I try not to think too loud about them because they might not like it always.

Question: What do you do for a living?

#9 Apr 23rd, 12:53pm
General Havoc

Answer: I blow things up. *Shrug* Some people paint...

Question: What's your favorite thing to do?

#10 Apr 23rd, 2:08pm
Maiafay

OC: It depends what day it is. Weekends are Cynthia Time: includes sex, more sex, eating, then shower sex, then photographing the newest cemetery, mausoleum, creepy house I can find; then more sex later on if my fiancee doesn't have to go to work or if she isn't too tired. *coughs and gives a sheepish smile*

Ahem, the rest of the week? Well, it then depends how many hours I put in at Clinton Valley. Those residents need me; no one really talks to them or gives them attention. The RN's and doctors are busy, you know. Get paid the big bucks. Sometimes all the residents have are the aids. I like to make sure they remember that someone cares.

Question: What religion are you?

#11 Apr 23rd, 4:15pm . Edited Apr 23rd, 4:23pm
General Havoc

OC: Well... nothing really... I mean when the whole end of the world thing started happening I went to this church over on the south end of town a few times. I'm not really sure why, just... by myself, you know? The minister didn't mind me sitting in there, and promised to keep the press away. I guess I was just nervous. Seemed like the thing to do. I never told the others about it though.

Question: What was the hardest thing you've ever done.

#12 Apr 23rd, 4:29pm
Rowena DeVandal

OC: That's a toss up between splitting from the love of my life on a lonely road in Canada and leaving the place I came to call home to return to the h.e.l.l.hole that made me the way I am.

Question: If you could save ten thousand people and all you had to do was kill a single child, could you do it?

#13 Apr 23rd, 7:02pm
Fictionnaire

"F--- me! Yeah. I wouldn't kill the kid. The ten thousand people are probably crap at what they do. But I'll take the kid yeah and mould him into a man that he should be"

Chicken or Turkey?

#14 Apr 23rd, 8:05pm
General Havoc

Answer: Turkey, all things considered, because it takes longer to make. Any idiot can slap chicken together in a cafeteria or a lunchroom or something. It actually takes work to make turkey, and you never make it for yourself. If you're eating turkey, it's either because you've got people worth the effort to make it for, or people who think you're worth the effort to make it. I'll take either one any day of the week.

Question: You ever killed anyone?

#15 Apr 24th, 10:43am
miarath

OC: No, but I've seen too many getting killed and couldn't do anything about it.

My question: Do you have any family?

#16 Apr 24th, 10:50am
General Havoc

Answer: Yes and no, so to speak. I never had a real one, but I have one now. I couldn't possibly care less if it's 'real' or not.

Question: What's your earliest memory?

#17 Apr 24th, 11:26am
miarath

OC: My earliest memory? That's kind of hard to describe. I remember voices, lots of voices, and lots of emotions but nothing concrete. Pain and joy, so close that I cannot exactly say which was what.

Question: What do you love?

#18 Apr 24th, 11:48am
General Havoc

Answer: I love having a place to call home, and I don't care how corny that sounds, it's only corny if you've never been without things like that. I love having people who care what happens to me, and who I care about, that live there. I love having a family, makeshift or otherwise. I love having good friends, better ones than I ever thought could exist. Everything else is optional or negotiable. Those things aren't.

Question: What's your favorite color, and why?

#19 Apr 24th, 12:44pm
miarath

OC's answer: My favourite colour, huh? Oh, well let me think. It's black and green. Black because I like it how it contrast with my skin and hair and how warm the leather feels. Green because that's my love's eyecolour.

My question: What's your favourite song?

#20 Apr 24th, 1:01pm
General Havoc

Answer: Right now, it's 'Lux Aeterna' by Clint Mansell. Kind of a weird choice, since it's one I get very uncomfortable listening to, but it reminds me of everything that's happened, the incident on Battery Street and everything else, and it's just the sort of thing to get you ready for a fight or something tough and hard, which happens a lot in my line of work. I'm not terribly big into music, but that's my pick for the moment.

Question: What is your present occupation?

#21 Apr 24th, 1:52pm
miarath

OC: Nothing right now, but until last night I've been helping to hunt down something you might not even believe at all: a bl*** real live demon. I've been only stupid enough to get trapped into a nightmare by it. Believe me, you won't like being caught up into one with no idea on how to get out of it. Yeah, and right now I feel kinda useless cause I've paid with my magic to get out of that dream.

My question: What would you like to be if you'd be living in Star Trek universe?

#22 Apr 24th, 2:15pm
General Havoc

Answer: There are times I think I AM living in the Star Trek universe, but that's neither here nor there. I think I'd like to be one of the main characters, but probably not the captain. I don't know how I'd handle that kind of responsibility. I'd like to not be a redshirt (of course), maybe some kind of lieutenant? One of the ones who gets into away team adventures (but survives them?)

Question: What do you have in your pockets?

#23 Apr 24th, 4:18pm
neosimstyler

Answer: *scrounging around in his pockets* Just a few chits. Enough to buy a book in one of those shops on Colonial One. I hope they have a good classic. I never could stand the science fiction or thriller stuff.

Question: What's your favorite animal?

#24 Apr 24th, 5:00pm
Chaos Chao

Answer: It has to be cats. I love my cat! He's fluffy and has such a sweet disposition - his name's Freddie - and most importantly of all, he doesn't go around hitting buttons and restarting my computer while I'm playing. You hear horror stories about that on the forums...

Question: How's your hair styled right now?

#25 Apr 24th, 5:07pm
miarath

OC: My hair style, huh? Um, it's long and dyed to an almost white blonde tone. My sis says it's too long, but I like it this way.

Question: What do you think about boys?

#26 Apr 25th, 12:00am
cathrl

OC: Uh, not much. I am a boy. You're not trying to imply something, are you? Carry on like that and you'll find you don't have access to any of your computer accounts. Not to mention the emails you'll apparently have sent out to the senior staff yesterday...

Question: Do you think you're as talented as the people around you?

#27 Apr 25th, 6:19am
Fictionnaire

"I'm more talented than those &*!(#ing Donkeys that surround me. F*&K me! Most of them can't even cook an egg!"

What would you grab first? A tinnie or Nachos?

#28 Apr 25th, 7:21am
Brainiac5

Tinnie isn't a word. At least, it's not in my dictionary. And nachos have too many carbohydrates and lipids for my general taste. And I have this thing against artificial dairy foods, like that so-called "cheese"...

How do you best like your eggs done?

#29 Apr 26th, 11:10pm . Edited Apr 26th, 11:13pm
Maiafay

Sometimes I like them scrambled, poached, over-medium - never over-easy though, I can't stand the white dribbly. Nasty! But I can never decide on how I want them; when I'm out I just let always let the waitress decide, when I'm at home, Cynthia.

Would you cheat on a test to earn a higher grade?

#30 Apr 27th, 6:05am . Edited Apr 27th, 6:07am
Rowena DeVandal

OC: Heck*, it's been so long since I went to school that you wouldn't believe it in the first place! I'm just glad that I was recruited into my current job...also something you wouldn't believe...;)

(*The OC usually swears like a sailor, so filtering her is not something I do instinctively.)

Q: If you came across a group of people harassing someone due to race/religion/sexual orientation/handicap, would you intervene?

#31 Apr 27th, 10:16am
around-the-moon

OC: No, I wouldn't because I would be the leader of the harrasing group. After all I'm expected to be like that. Anyone who is different or lower than me is to be showed that he/she is only scum under my feet. It's interesting that when I fall I lie in mud too.

Q: Are you responsible enough to use condoms or do you think it lessens the fun?

#32 Apr 27th, 10:27am . Edited Apr 27th, 10:28am
Asmus

OC: What is fun without something extra to spice up the whole deal?

Question: Is it wrong to kill bad people?

#33 Apr 27th, 10:33am
cathrl

OC: Well, no, it's not wrong, exactly. But I'm real glad nobody's asking me to do it. That's for the experts.

Question: Do you wish you had never got involved in all this?

#34 Apr 27th, 12:21pm . Edited Apr 27th, 12:21pm
Asmus

OC: Are you kidding? I'm a mercenary. As long as I'm getting paid, I don't care how ** up the situation is.

Question: How would you solve a problem? Brute force or cunning?

#35 Apr 27th, 1:12pm
Oracle Five

OC: Are you kidding? Brute force AND cunning is what got me in this mess in the first place! Me and the rest of our group spend the time hunkering down and waiting for things to get better. 'S better then being smelted alive.

Question: So, how's the weather?

#36 Apr 27th, 3:47pm
Mr. Peachfuzz

OC: Unremarkable. Let me know when you have something interesting to say.

Question: If you were the opposite gender, what would you be like?

#37 Apr 27th, 4:51pm
Brainiac5

Probably pretty much the same, only more hormonal... I suppose. Possibly more attractive... no, definitely more attractive. I mean, for the opposite sex, it's a good thing to be 5' 6'' and under 130 pounds...

......

Are you a cat person or dog person?

#38 Apr 27th, 8:54pm
A.J. Starhiker

Well, considering my Shift-form's a mountain lion, I'd have to say cat.

How long does it take you to get ready when you wake up?

#39 Apr 27th, 9:03pm . Edited Apr 27th, 9:05pm
.PhaerynTao.

Only about five minutes. I'm practically bald and I couldn't care less about the gunk in my eyes. Then I drive to work and hope that my tiredness doesn't cause a car accident.

What do you think when you see the homeless?

#40 Apr 27th, 10:55pm
Asmus

OC: And what should I think? They mean nothing to me, I couldn't care less about what happens to them.

Question: Can you take care of yourself in a fight?

#41 Apr 27th, 11:44pm
Rowena DeVandal

OC: Yes, I can. I'm not the very best at what I do. That would be my husband. But I can say that I've seen my share of action and have yet to find anyone that can put me down permanently.

Q: What is the very worst thing you've ever done and do you believe it was for the best in the long run?

#42 Apr 27th, 11:54pm
Mr. Peachfuzz

OC: I severed the link between humanity and magic. What was I supposed to do? Humanity was becoming like a thirty-year-old who mooches off his mother and lives in her basement. It was time for a rude awakening. (I also died in the bargain, but I've got that taken care of...)

Question: What's the most surreal experience you've ever had?

#43 Apr 28th, 4:13am
Fictionnaire

"Well I just got out of the Academy not too long ago. So I don't have any surreal experiences to speak of just yet. But if I had to choose one, I would have to say grilling Special Agent Fox Mulder"

What would you do if the power went out and the phones went dead?

#44 Apr 28th, 4:33am
Rowena DeVandal

OC: Think back to the good old days, before we had telephones and electric power was a luxury that only the super-rich could afford. Then, after it dawned on the students that they were cut off from the world, I'd contemplate killing them all...or at least locking them in the Danger Room until it came back on. I'm sure I could talk Colossus into prying the doors open for me.

Q: Would you rather have lots of money, but no friends, or lots of friends and just enough money to get by?

#45 Apr 28th, 5:25am
Fictionnaire

"One thing I learnt about questioning those in the FBI and that was how friends slash partners watch each other's backs without money changing between their hands. Money can't watch your back but a hell of alot of friends will. But then again monies easier to find than friends."

What would you say is your worst fear?

#46 Apr 28th, 5:33am
Asmus

OC: Not getting paid. I mean you accept the job, get in, raise hell and make yourself a lot of enemies only to find out that either you killed the guy you were supposed to protect in the process or messed up the entire mission and your client doesn't pay you anything, leaving you without money. Now that's scary.

Question: Global warming. Myth or reality? What do you think?

#47 Apr 28th, 5:58am
Fictionnaire

OC: "Well in my investigation... I read almost every X-File there is down there. And have not came across one single case involving Global Warming. So it has to be proven fact."

Do you believe easily or do you have to have physical proof in your hand?

#48 Apr 28th, 6:02am
miarath

OC: What do mean with believe? Believe in nonphysical stuff? If that's what you mean I don't need proof, cause I have already proof. If you mean a higher being, yeah I think I do believe but it's nothing to do with easy. After all demons are real.

Question: Do you believe in ghosts?

#49 Apr 28th, 7:00am
Asmus

OC: After seeing that people tend to lie about everything, believing someone just because he says so, is a commodity I can't afford. If you want to tell me about ghosts, aliens or something else in that manner, do not talk to me until you have solid proof, checked and verified by at least three independent sources.

Question: Would you forgive your enemy if he said he was sorry for what he did to you?
