taichara.
Choose twelve characters from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the link. Do not look at the questions beforehand.
I made a list of characters and then used a d12 to determine their order, since I know i've read the answers to one or two of these memes and didn't want to subconsciously influence the outcome. :3
1. X [Rockman X]
2. Gim Allon [Legion of Superheroes]
3. Sally Po [Gundam Wing, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz]
4. David Starsky [Starsky and Hutch]
5. Kuwabara Kazuma [Yu Yu Hakusho]
6. Vincent ("Vinnie") Van Wham [Biker Mice From Mars]
7. Ursa Major Bronze Saint Geki [Saint Seiya]
8. Shinohara Wakaba [Revolutionary Girl Utena]
9. Ikeda Mitsuru [Here is Greenwood]
10. Tifa Lockhart [Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children]
11. Shuu Rei Fuan [Yoroiden Samurai Troopers]
12. Tenzil Kem [Legion of Superheroes]
01. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Vinnie or Shuu? SHUU! Totally Shuu, he's waaaaaaay more responsible, he's already got younger siblings so he knows how to deal with unruly students, and if you believe some of the production notes, his clan head was eying him as a possibility for grooming to take over someday.
Shuu could teach cooking (Chinese cuisine) or business management. I'd back on that second.
02. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Hot? No. Cute? Kinda. Lovable? Definitely.
03. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Tenzil Kem sends Wakaba on a mission... O.o So. Utterly. Random. And that's just Tenzil! Well, it might involve bathing suit contests, locker rooms, and cameras. But that'd be rather mundane and a waste of Wakaba's respectible skills of energetic wtf.
Tenzil would send Wakaba to go somewhere and do something harmless-seeming if totally random which would in fact have important political repercussions only discovered when she was safely out of the way, and it would suceed. I'm sure I could think of something much more entertaining for this, because they're both really entertaining characters, but I haven't had breakfast yet.
04. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Well, there's a dirty magazine he buys regularly (alternating with his roommate), and he can reside Buddhist prayers from memory... Hm. I'm not really sure. Possibly he has some manual to cross dressing effectively squirrelled away somewhere, because he sure is good at it.
For sentimental value, though, if he has a picture album put together by his family, he'd treasure it always with pain/joy. (Mitsuru was found abandoned under a tree on the temple property, a week before his brother was born. There are some... issues there.)
05. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
It would make more sense for Vinnie to swear fealty to Gim IF we're dealing with V4 Gim-the-cop. Yes, I know it's weird to say the vain motormouth biker would swear fealty to a cop, but you have to remember that Vinnie was a freedom fighter, and Gim would totally help him take back his world.
06. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
As much as Kuwabara would have a healthy respect for Tifa's fighting skills, he would blush to death if he were living with a woman he's not related to, so looks like it's Kuwa and Vinnie. They can bond over their shared love of motorcycles. (Might be a problem about Kuwa's kitty, though.)
07. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Gim, Geki, and Tenzil. O.O Well, Tenzil and Gim, who know each other, will probably be taking Geki somewhere in their universe, since they outnumber him and people in the 30th century will be mildly less surprised by Tenxil's eating habits. (He's from Bismoll. He can literally eat anything.) It will be somewhere with a relaxed atmosphere where you can get a LOT of food (Geki has a huge appetite), probably in the Sol system, possibly with an open air arrangement.
These three could talk about pretty much anything and everything. Computers, teamwork, dealwing with and working within bureaucracies, religion, mythologies, food, music, comedy, weird friends, women (although Gim is shy and Geki doesn't date), good strategies for fighting zombies, how to deal with the apocalypse, dealing with people thinking you're strange because you have special powers, whipped cream vs. custard, the nature of chaos and order, ways to remove mysterious stains... I think they'd chat for hours, just enjoying themselves, and would probably start making bets with each other about little random things. I'd love to be a fly on the wall.
08. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Fixing! I misread the numbers the first time. That's Sally challenging Tifa.
Well, Tifa wins, obviously. I'm sorry, I wuvs Sally, but Tifa is a much better fighter.
09. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
Ask. In the unlikely event of X stealing anything, ever, from anyone not hellbent on destroying the world. He's a really nice guy, and as soon as he realized that it meant to much to Mitsuru, he'd give it back.
Maybe they could then chat about having impossible friends that need to learn how to better interact with humanity, and the perils of being too cute.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
I'm trying to think of what they most desire. *blink*
..."And now for something completely different".
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
:D Starsky and X? Time travel! When being teleported away from a battle, there's a weird glitch and instead of windind up in the Hunters' medtech bay, X winds up in 1970s San Francisco, in the rain (just because) slumped along the sidewalk near Starsky's home when he's on his way back from work. Starsky, being a total soft touch for all his tough talk, would stop to check on him, discover what appears to be an injured/ill young man, and we go from there. Discovering a robotic conspiracy in that timeframe and getting X home would feature. Bitching about blond partners taller than them would also happen.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Geki is a really laidback dude who grew up in the Rocky Mountains. We'd bond. And he'd bitch me out aobut my bad laundry habits, and possibly fix my computer and set up my webcam. Yay! :D
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
o.O The sheer idea of me commanding a major is bizarre. Uh. Hm. Give my roommate a backrub, possibly. XD
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
taichara As far as I know, that's it. Poor Shuu. He needs more love. *hugs him*
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Gim having to choose between Kuwabara and Starsky would be a tough one, really. On the one hand, like Kuwa he knows that there are things going on that a mundane cop would not be able to handle, on the other hand he himself wants to be (and will soemday be) a police officer... It would depend on the circumstances. I think he'd tend towards Starsky just because he (Starsky) doesn't have any extranormal powers, unlike Kuwabara. Nothing to do with them both being Jewish. Nope, not at all.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
uh.... "Take this!" or "Ha!" ...? Maybe the names of some of her attacks, but she doens't seem to like giving people the heads up, honestly.
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"Without You", from RENT.
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?
Vinnie. X doesn't technically need to eat human food and is fairly polite. Tenzil would let Vinnie have it, but then steal and eat his chopsticks. ;)
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
*laughs*
Gim is shy and would be waaaaaaaaay too intimidated by a woman as confident as Tifa to try. Also, there's no such thing as a good pick-up line.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
FIGHTING. More specifically, getting into a gang-brawl. He does have a gang, after all, and he loves to fight!
21. What is 6's secret?
He genuinely loves Charlie, but he's afraid to tell her because the last woman he loved, well... as far as he knows, she's dead. And he's aware that she's not exactly comfortable with this whole "alien" thing.
Vinnie would never admit to being afraid of anything.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Shuu is supernaturally fast. But Mitsuru knows the subways in Tokyo better if it's not a footrace. ...However, Mitsuru could be waylaid by hordes of girls.
Really, they're just as likely to have an eating contest. 9_9
23. 3 goes on a blind date with 8 and then another blind date with 11. Where would they go and which date would go best?
Sally & Wakaba, Sally & Shuu? ...We'll presume Sally either lost a bet with Noin or is being punished by Relena or Une or something... ;) We'll give the other two a few years so this is less like babysitting for Sally. ^^; And assume that the other two have hometurf advantage, since Sally's pretty mobile and neither jungle nor outer space will really work for these two.
Location: Ho'ou-shi, Japan
Well, as much as Wakaba claimed Utena was her boyfriend for a while there, she really seems to prefer guys, and would thus be extremely nervous on a date with a woman. They'd probably spend a day playing tourist - because Sally would be one - shopping and seeing the sights and eating at cafés... Wakaba would think Sally is really cool, but that would be about it. And as much as Sally might enjoy pretending to be normal (read: non-military) for a little while, Wakaba's energy could potentially wear her down and she would get bored (although she'd try not to show it). Nothing would come of it.
Location: Toyama, Japan
Shuu and Sally have a bit more in common, really. Aside from partially shared cultural/ethnic backgrounds (Chinese, assuming they're the same - there are a lot of differnet groups in China), they're both warriors, they're both interested in justice, they're both willing to fight and die to save innocent people. Things would start off mundane and awkward (Shuu was probably shoehorned into this by one of his parents), and at first Shuu would chatter nervously. At first things would be formal, too; Shuu would have very exclusive tickets for them to go see a show, which would bore both of them. Halfway through they would stealthily sneak out, and once out laugh about it; break the ice. They'd walk and talk for a while, possibly stumble across a street-festival. By the time they needed to show up for their dinner reservations, they'd be much more comfortable with one another. Dinner would be fabulous; not at the most ostentatious place in Toyama, but somewhere that the food was really, really good... and more expensive than Shuu would be willing to let on (he never seems compelled to flaunt his family's wealth). Comfortably stuffed, they'd decide dancing would be too much of a chore and go on another long, rambling walk, this time away from the city and into the surrounding fields. Animated conversation would alternate with companionable silence. Shuu would probably take off his shoes, and Sally would do the same, although she'd be more concerned than him about stepping on something dangerous. Eventually they'd both realise how late it was, and one of them would phone a car to come pick them up. They'd agree to do this again sometime.
WINNER: SHUU.
24. 1 (X) and 9 (Mitsuru) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Starsky's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Shuu) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Shuu) is actually a spy for 4 (Starsky). Meanwhile, 4 (Starsky) has kidnapped 12 (Tenzil) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Kuwabara *snicker*), they seek out 3 (Sally), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
"A most unlikely series of events".
