character meme from lena!
Lena (derkins - like Susie Derkins from Calvin & Hobbes, AKA the best comic ever) just posted this meme so I thought I might try it out!

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 cut.

1. Ernest Hemingway (Pierian Springs)
2. Viola Messaline (Viola from Twelfth Night, Stage Left)
3. John Keats (Pierian Springs)
4. Victoria Kensington (Queen Victoria, A Royal Pain)
5. Laura Ingalls Wilder (Pierian Springs)
6. Peter Pan (Stage Left)
7. Dorothy Parker (Pierian Springs)
8. Spencer Hughes (Hugh le Despenser, A Royal Pain)
9. J.R.R. Tolkien (Pierian Springs)
10. Cori Lawrence (Cordelia from King Lear, Stage Left)
11. Clive Staples (C.S. Lewis, Pierian Springs)
12. Marie Romanov (Grand Duchess Maria Romanov, A Royal Pain)

1. Who would make a better college professor: 6 (Peter Pan) or 11 (Clive)?
AHAHAHHA Peter Pan as a teacher? No one would learn anything. We'll go with Clive. He'd be a hardass, but I think he'd be interesting. There would be a lot of debates.

2. Do you think 2 (Viola) is hot? How hot?
I think that Emilie de Ravin is very pretty. Not really hot. I think that's why I picked her for Viola in the first place.

3. 12 (Marie) sends 8 (Spencer) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Marie would probably ask him to set the table. Spencer would basically tell her 'fuck no,' and Marie would either be like 'um please don't talk to me like that' or 'wowwww you're so cute, it's okay, i'll set the table myself.'

4. What is, or would be, 9 (JT)'s favorite book?
Any sort of fairy tale, really... I bet he really likes D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths, too. For their entertainment value, he doesn't believe in any of it. He's a good Catholic boy.

5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Viola) to swear fealty to 6 (Peter), or the other way around?
Uh, definitely the other way around. For one thing, Peter's only allegiance is to himself. So he wouldn't really give a flying fuck about Viola. I'm not entirely sure I can think of an instance she would swear fealty to him, but that seems like more of a likelihood.

6. For some reason, 5 (Laura) is looking for a room-mate. Should he/she share a studio apartment with 9 (JT), or 10 (Cori)?
Cori, because Cori is a girl and by God you don't live with a boy before you're married! That's what Laura thinks, anyway.

7. 2 (Viola), 7 (Dot), and 12 (Marie) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Well, the three of them are sort of homebodies, so I think Marie would insist on cooking dinner for them. She and Viola would probably discuss boys-- Marie would be really excited about the whole Mozart thing-- and Dot would make snide commentary the entire time while slipping whatever's in her flask that day into her ginger ale. I'm not sure she could handle that party sober.

8. 3 (John) challenges 10 (Cori) to a duel. What happens?
Cori would totally stomp John's ass. But I think she'd take pity on him and let him run away. For serious, though? Cage match to the death? John's toast.

9. If 1 (Hemingway) stole 8 (Spencer)'s most precious possession, how would they get it back?
Easy. Spencer would hire someone to kill him and steal it back.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Dot) and 12 (Marie) both attain what they most desire.
Uhm. I suck at titles, guys. Happiness is a Warm Pancake. I don't know.

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Victoria) and 1 (Hemingway) to work together?
They could be some sort of super-duper crime-fighting duo that end up falling in love along the way. Since Victoria's a total romantic and they're both very attractive people.

12. If 7 (Dot) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
She'd probably be mean to me and make fun of me for not drinking, so I'd probably be miserable all weekend and end up crying a lot when she was out.

13. If you could command 3 (John) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Teach me how to bag a cutie like Oscar, please. Oh, and do my homework for my poetry class next semester. Thanks!

14. Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (Clive), either in appearance or personality?
Uhm. Me. Personality-wise, to some degree. More every time I give it any real thought.

15. If 2 (Viola) had to choose sides between 4 (Victoria) and 5 (Laura), which would it be?
Well, hell. Probably Victoria, at least it's not illegal. And Coco Rocha's pretty hot, so...

16. What might 10 (Cori) shout while charging into battle?
"Clearly, God is dead!" because she got two rotten sisters and now she's probably going to die impaled on a sword. Awesome. Way to go, fate.

17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Spencer), which song would you choose?
"Evil" by Interpol. For obvious reasons.

18. 1 (Hemingway), 6 (Peter), and 12 (Marie) 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?
Marie would stop and offer it to someone else even if she really really wanted it, because she's a sweetheart like that. Hemingway would try to take it but Peter would literally try to fork him in the hand and he would grab the last pancake. Peter doesn't play well with others. All for one and one for... Peter.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Viola) to use on 10 (Cori)?
What's with all the lesbianism going on with Viola? I mean, seriously. For real, though? I think "Wow, you have really pretty hair" would probably work. Cori really likes her hair.

20. What would 5 (Laura) most likely be arrested for?
Trespassing on private property. She can't keep her nose out of anything.

21. What is 6 (Peter)'s secret?
He's terrified of growing up and being responsible for himself or anyone else because clearly no one was responsible for him as a child. He grew up in an orphanage. No parents... no role model. Simple.

22. If 11 (Clive) and 9 (JT) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Clive would want to win more than JT, but JT has longer legs and is generally stronger and of a healthier constitution, I think. So I think JT would probably win.

23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Dot) or 8 (Spencer)?
Oh, fantastic. So I'm choosing between an alcoholic and a manipulative, power-hungry thug? Well. Technically if Spencer liked me I'd be safe, because he could totally put a hit on any creepers that tried to follow us, but he doesn't really like anyone, so I'm better off with Dot. She could totally choke a bitch, as long as she was sober (which I'm counting on) and those spike heels she takes to wearing could totally put a hole in your chest.

24. 1 (Hemingway) and 9 (JT) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4 (Victoria)'s sinister secret organization. 11 (Clive) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for 4 (Victoria). Meanwhile, 4 (Victoria) has kidnapped 12 (Marie) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Laura), they seek out 3 (John), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
"JT's First Draft of Lord of the Rings."
