Questions Meme

As first posted here by Emely!:

1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥

Season 2 begins tomorrow, all, and there've been plenty of developments and new blood since the first round - get the words flowin', get to know/re-know some of your gamemates, and/or simply shoot the breeze~

How do you imagine your characters would all get along together, if they were to meet without all that playercest business getting in the way?

[beforeweproceed]

I'm having the trickiest time answering this on Anthony and Cinderella on a level other than "amicable" - appearance-wise he'd probably make her a bit uncomfortable, and alas, for him there's the inevitable fact that she's a talking horse and her demeanor to adjust to - I can imagine them being a couple o' mild-mannered friendly acquaintances under most circumstances, if probably preferring to keep to from actually being obliged to make eye contact on the network, and prob'ly capable of getting along without any awkward grins and well-that's-nice-es when serious subjects are actually at hand - they could probably put up and have heart-to-hearst over well-intentioned fuss finely together.

I would love to see or play CR between either Rarity or Anthony, in fact~ I could see Bill and Cinderella being each others' surrogate Applejack and Jasper, respectively - be bantering and occasionally fussily-butting-heads friends with differences. On Bill and Anthony, the former would probably encourage the latter to man up and Anthony would probably likewise aim to please and attempt to live up to that, if bumble a bit under Bill's indelicate-ness.

What would each of your characters be like under an alignment switch?

Who was the hardest to make a reincarnated history for?

[beforeweproceed]

Definitely Bill! He's the oldest by far and so he has several years under his belt - and while I could roughly imagine how his personal life would have gone without much difficulty, I was completely lost for a while on what his job would have been; he's a knight in canon, and my I believe a few people's headcanon formerly a guardsman or sheriff - I wanted to think of something not too exactly the same to either of those jobs but that someone who'd been a longtime patriotic law enforcement officer slash soldier in another life might still wind up falling into. A bit of encouragement in the form of potential pre-existing CR (namely a grandchild) and reading up on one potential idea later, it fit together enough for an app.

Have you considered any other characters for here, or do you intend to focus on Rakka? What sorts of characters in general do you like to play, and what's your favorite CR for Rakka been?

[charcoalfeather]

1. Yes! I have. I'm currently standing on the fence with it though. If time will allow it, I want to bring the Lutece twins from Bioshock infinite into the game as rouge Thundercorp scientists. Or possibly someone else.

2. THAT IS... A TOUGH QUESTION. I suppose if I did have a type it would be "characters that no one else plays". I don't even know why, I just tend to play from obscure canons I guess. I'm probably the second of two people on here that plays Haibane Renmei. :(

3. ANOTHER TOUGH QUESTION. I can't give just one answer for this. Rakka's CR with Julien, Raye, Isaac and Miria, and everyone else has been so perfect.

And speaking of obscure canons, what made you play from Fables?

[enchants]

( Q. ) Somehow, I have yet to cross paths with your characters, surprisingly! What are the usual 'haunts' for each of your characters?

[destinedforrock]

Two out of three of them have very narrow ones which are out of the way, unfortunately! Cinderella's been living in a few fenced-in acres on her owners' property for as long as she can remember, and is probably going to start going on field trips as it slowly dawns on her that it's technically "safe" to now.

Anthony used to drop by the park and the school and public libraries as well as errand-running stops such as stores and post offices often 'til he started turning into a shambling abomination in the summer, after which point he started keeping indoors to the fullest extent possible. Like Cinderella he might be chancing forays outside in the future, but as he'd be tense over the kind of attention he'd attract, he'd take longer for it and not be nearly as open about it. Currently, the closest thing he's got to a haunt is the network.

Bill's an easier one - he works as a security guard at a shopping center during the day, and he likely drops in at a bar or pub of choice or two and such blowing-off-steam places when he's off, either with friends or alone, depending. He's also married, but I'm unsure where he and his wife would both like to spend time - they likely go on dinner dates and take their sweet leisurely time meandering about town before going home.

What type of CR do you most enjoy playing? What sort of CR do you most hope you can get for Cat and/or for the other characters you intend to play in-game?

[enchants]

( A. ) I really like a variety of CR, but I find AU games the easiest because of their ability to break into social circles or touch bases with character personalities they'd never approach. I'm a pretty big fan of both positive and vastly negative CR, and I try to vary the type of CR I'll get to be different across a selection of characters. Generally, I'm a big fan of cross-canon interactions. I'll plan with canonmates, but I love to establish close knit ties with those outside of my canon, too. I really appreciate the CR memes for getting that kind of stuff jumpstarted.

Cat's CR is actually coming to a close. He won't really be able to operate without his mother, and I like to pick a tough character to test the waters first, as I explained in this answer. Mostly I'm just cleaning up threads with him and preparing his move out of Locke City.

For those coming in, I can probably theorize that Reagan will probably get both positive and negative cr pretty easily due to his canon role conflicting with his reincarnation. Hopefully his dependence on the network will encourage him to make a lot of early connections with different people and branch out on his personality. If more of Regene's personality comes into play, it'll be interesting to humanize him by socialization.

Freya is easy. The chance of negative CR is quite unlikely based on her personality. She's likely to get along and support a wide variety of people, and I look forward to being able to fall back on a genuinely positive muse as others go into darker territory.

Akira will probably have some very dramatic CR further down the road. His canon is extremely painful emotionally to deal with, so it's important to balance him now. I've taken antagonistic routes with him in previous games, redemption stories, etc. It'll be interesting to see where things go for him here since he doesn't have the weight of the world on his shoulders. He's currently the least likely to put himself out there in bigger plots, so I'll probably enjoy a greater variety of slice-of-life elements to his story before it takes a turn for grimdark horror.

( Q. ) What's a city you'd personally love to expand to in the new season aside from Locke City and Las Vegas? What about an international city?

[scramasax]

Ahh, right, you had said that in regards to Cat - I was wondering if there'd been a change in plans or if indeed you were keeping him around just to wrap thing up further!

Proceeding with the answer, I'm Californian and had wondered how far West Coast we'd be placing the second location until Las Vegas had been settled on, but now with two American cities the others and I both promise and want international settings moving along - I would love to set one of the locations in Spain or Greece, for what I s'pose one might say are personal slash sentimental reasons (to whatever extent either of those words is applicable, as I've not traveled further than interstate yet myself!), but have also got family from south China and the Philippines and who've spent time in Australia and New Zealand, and I'd probably enjoy making use of excuse to chat with personal references on travels for anywhere it might prove not to hurt.

What about you - are there any settings you'd like to see moved to? Settings/setting types and features/atmospheres in general you're fond of playing with?

[enchants]

( A. ) I would love to see Spain or Greece. In addition to those, I sat around this morning contemplating everything from world heritage sites to global population maps to pick out some of the other locations I think would be interesting. Some of these are just great visual and cultural backdrops, others are more accessible than lesser known regions. Not knowing the more metaplot behind Save the Earth, I wouldn't have a particularly strong reasoning behind why other than spread of potential climates, cultures, and larger interactive populations. Asia is just simply too big to ignore all the possibilities there. As much as I love popular cities, in say Japan or England, I'd love to break out of the box and play elsewhere. I'd love to play around with different aspects per city. Maybe they've got a relatively uninhabited location once, and so some of the trip has to deal with survival and making shelter. Maybe they've got an extremely busy market location in another and less technology. Maybe one of the northern locations is under several feet of snow. And in contrast, there's a very hot and dry climate for another. How this effects players, their physical echoes, etc. will make for some interesting bits to consider.

Bern, Switzerland (Europe)
Ayutthaya or Bangkok, Thailand (Asia)
Beijing, Shanghai, or Hong Kong, China (Asia)
St. Petersberg or Moscow, Russia (Asia)
Mumbai, India (Asia)
Cairo or Giza, Egypt (Africa)
Ralik Chain or Queensland, Australia (Australia)

( Q. ) A character on your muselist that you want to bring to Save the Earth, but haven't, and why?
