Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stolen from here:


First, select your ten fictional characters (from any medium) by whichever method you like best. Then answer the questions below.

1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?

2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?


3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore gender for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible?

4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?

5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?

6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's story. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?

7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?

8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?

9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?

10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?

First, select your ten fictional characters (from any medium) by whichever method you like best. Then answer the questions below.

01. Molly
02. Henry
03. Kevin
04. Anthony
05. Quin
06. Ashley
07. Owen
08. Beatrice
09. Victoria
10. Tura


1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick?

So its Molly, Kevin, Quin, Owen and Victoria vs Henry, Anthony, Ashley, Beatrice and Tura? Oh, the evens would win so hard Its not even funny. I might switch Henry or Anthony out for Molly, though, and maybe Quin if I could just get rid of both of them. Oddly enough, most of my characters, with perhaps the exception of Owen, were all put into horrible, bloody situations at some point or another, but Kevin, Anthony and Victoria are all kinda brainy, while Molly, Quin, Ash, Bea and Tura are all very brawny, and pretty punk rock. Not to say they aren't smart either, though most of them do have a tendency to leap without looking.

Evens: Leader=Beatrice / Lancer=Ash / Big Guy=Tura / Smart Guy=Anthony / The Chick=Henry
Odds: Leader=Kevin / Lancer=Molly / Big Guy=Quin / Smart Guy=Victoria / The Chick=Owen

2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
Okay, Henry, Bea and Tura. Oddly enough, I've flirted with making Henry a girl several times because his story is kind of lopsided with guys and his gender really doesn't have anything to do with his situation. Sometimes I still think about it, actually... it might end up being really a good idea. Hm. Tura practically IS a guy already, but I like Beatrice the most as a girl. Not that she'd make a bad guy (lol, even though she's a bad guy-- you know, homicidal and anarchic) but its just... I can't see her being half as charming as a boy. Part of the reason I like her so much is because she's cute-- not in a girly kind of way, but just in a way that a boy can't do and be evil still.

3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore gender for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible?
Molly and Beatrice vs Quin and Victoria... LOL Molly and Bea hands down. I can see Vic and Quin just hating each other in like .5 seconds, where as Molly and Bea have a lot in common. You know, besides that Bea just took it a step further and is totally evil, while Molly uses her punk rock powers for good. Though to be fair, Bea doesn't think she's evil. Bea thinks she's right.

4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
Kevin, Anthony and Victoria... How annoying they're all pretty brainy, but charming and active in their own ways. Kevin is presumably the least socially graceful, and while V is super cute, she doesn't really like people. So Anthony would have to be the social one-- he's fairly gifted at mingling and such anyway, despite the fact that he's not really a leader. He's more of a peer; the kind of guy who can just get along with everybody and influence them from the ground up, you know? I'm gonna give V the mental challenge, though Kevin is smart, and Kevin, my little zombie slayer, can have the physical. He wasn't naturally disposed to being physical, but he rose well to the occasion when it was called for.

5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
OWEN BECOMES MOLLY'S BOSS XD I can actually see that happening, and its SO FUNNY TO ME. Owen is very, very, very sweet, and very, very, very ADHD. Molly on the other hand is disinterested, angry and dirty, so its unlikely that she'd rise into a managerial position any time soon, much less a job that pays anything over minimum wage. Owen was actually being groomed to become the successive owner of his father's law firm, though Owen had no real interest in doing so... In any case, Owen would be a fun boss. He'd need a lot of help staying on track, and he'd definitely need an assistant to keep him organized (not Molly in anyway, mind you) but I think that he'd charm Molly into placidity with his POWERS OF ADORABLE.

6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's story. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
Ohhhh, Henry... you just got boned so hard. I wouldn't wish ANYBODY in Ashley's story (besides Ashley, of course, who I DELIGHT in torturing... that poor, sexy boy...) Um, anyway, this one is more than easy. He'd be just another patient, locked up and cut up, like everybody else... I can EASILY see Henry and Innis getting along, however, and since Innis likes Ashley a lot, that's where they'd all meet up. Henry wouldn't get along with Ash in the real world, but in a survival situation like this, I'm sure they'd be a-okay.

7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
Kevin and Quin XD God, that one is ******** hard to think of. Oh man, I can see them arguing over this s**t FOREVER. Quin, Ash, Molly and Tura would be able to make reasonable wishes together (probably something along the lines of indestructible livers, music and money) and Kevin and Anthony would make a good pair (something regarding extended intelligence, good health for them and their friends... world peace?)
But Kevin and Quin have SO LITTLE in common. I'm sure that they've got the least in common out of all the characters presented, actually.

8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Molly and Henry vs Anthony.... Henry isn't a natural fighter. He's a diplomat, and he loves people! Molly, however, is definitely a scrapper, but not a murder either. If they had to team up, Henry would plan while Molly did the dirty work. Anthony, though magical and very intelligent, would have a hard time fighting Molly, who is very strong and violent, and Henry, who has unlimited resources. I have a feeling, however, that Anthony would be able to hide from them both for as long as he needed to.

9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa? Ash, Owen, V and Tura... Oh god. Owen would be Santa, because he loves little kids and he loves playing around. Tura, and V would spend the rest of the time raiding the medicine cabinets (Tura, for herself and V to sell on the black market) while Ashley probably taught the little kids to be punk rockers.

10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?
Kevin and Bea, huh? Bea is a very driven person, she likes to WIN, and Kevin is very thoughtful and intelligent. Between the two of them, I'm sure it'd be a piece of cake as long as they didn't speak to each other that often. Bea might throw Kevin off their balloon if they did.
