1. Eomund (Brave, Brave Sir Rohan) – Lord Of The Rings
2. Mikei Virishkarov (Ussuran nobleman) – 7th Sea
3. Baltazar Tadeo Carreras Montoya del Soldanos de Castillo (Castillian nobleman) – 7th Sea
4. Karine Thamar (Paladin) – high fantasy Cringe system created by the GM
5. Knobby the Hobbit – Middle Earth
6. Randy Hobb - Serenity
7. Catalina Constanza del something-or-other de Castillo – 7th Sea
8. Venus (Human fighter) – Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
9. Natalia Romanov (Russian Countess) – The Gathering
10. Jennifer (Confidence/Paranoia) - Nobilis
11. Filanora (Human Magic-User) – Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
12. Daniel (Farmer) – can’t remember the system, it was at Dragonmeet

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6, or 11?
Definietly Filanora – she actually knows stuff (spells, for example), whereas Hobb is just a mook.

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Not especially – he’s quite short and solid, with simian features; the picture on his character sheet (Val Kilmer) is more attractive than he really is

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
I suppose Daniel might send Venus to sell some eggs in the market or something, but Venus certainly wouldn’t go – she’s far too full of herself to take orders from a lowly farmer

4) What is, or would be, 9's favourite book?
Natalia is a scribe and writes a very detailed journal, so she’d probably like history books

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Hobb is a minion through and through, and Mikei is a nobleman, so Hobb swearing fealty to Mikei makes more sense, though, as an Ussuran, Mikei seems to spend most of his time in minion mode himself

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?
Well, Knobby is very sociable and I’m sure he’d be more than happy to share with Natalia or Jennifer – I don’t think Natalia would stoop to rooming with a hobbit, though. Jennifer likes fantasy books, so she’d probably be a better bet.

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Mikei and Catalina would choose a middle-priced tavern and probably discuss the current state of Thea, based on their respective travels. I expect Daniel would be out the back looking after the horses.

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Baltazar is certainly the duelling type, though Jennifer would probably just give him a withering glance and go back to her book

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?
Venus has a very nice magic sword, which she’s very fond of. If Eomund stole it which seems very unlikely), all she’d have to do is find him and glare at him and he’d drop it immediately and start whimpering

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire
The Farmer and the Prostitute’s Baby – Daniel wants to settle down with a family, while Catalina wants to find her baby and somewhere safe to live. I could just about see them settling down together.

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Karine could be sent by her deity to heal Eomund’s mind and help him regain his backbone – that would be fun, since Karine doesn’t take any nonsense and Eomund is a gibbering coward.

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Catalina is beautiful, smart, tortured but strong – I think she’s very impressive and would make a very interesting conversationalist. I think she’d probably find me rather boring, though.

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Teach me how to swordfight, I guess. Or just strike a dramatic pose and say, “Hello. My name is Baltazar Tadeo Carreras Montoya del Soldanos de Castillo. You killed my hamster! Prepare to die!”

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?
Not really. Filanora is sort of motherly but with a will of steel, so I think she’s actually most like my mum, of all the people I know.

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
I can’t imagine Karine and Knobby ever getting in a fight, but Mikei would probably defend the hobbit, as the one least able to defend himself

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
“What the hell am I doing in a battle???”

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
“You’re So Vain” – Venus thinks a lot of herself.

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?
The mook, the coward and the farmer? I don’t think any of them would be assertive enough to go for the last pancake.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
“May I assist you in any way, my lady? You look a little confused.”

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Completely emptying the all-you-can-eat buffet and then asking for seconds?

21) What is 6's secret?
Hobb doesn’t have a secret – he’s the most boring man ever created. Oh, wait – didn’t he have some kind of mob boss nemesis who was after him for money, or something?

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Hmmm – pick the two middle-aged women in the huge skirts! Filanora’s probably fitter than Natalia, since she’s seen a lot more adventure and battle.

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Definitely Venus – she has the magic sword and awesome fighting skills, after all. Catalina’s a misunderstood hooker.

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

How bizarre. I completely forgot LotR when I did mine. Poor Leaf...

I forgot Gordon the Baronet of Curiosity, which is a shame he'd have been fun to add to the mix.
