(no subject)
mejoff has been doing one of these on his LJ, and I love it -- sort of somewhere between a very geeky 20 questions and freeform roleplaying game. So, here's mine (his is still ongoing, though, and I can certainly recommend adding to the discussion there too).
The Fifteen Character Meme. It goes like this:
1. I make a list of 15 fictional characters.
2. You post questions about entertaining situations they might get into (such as "6 and 7 walk into a pub. What do they order and where do they sit?" or "How do 4, 7 and 15 cope with a zombie apocalypse?").
3. I answer the questions.
4. You try to guess who the 15 characters are.
5. I update this post with a list of the ones you've guessed.
All right? Then let's play.
Correct guesses:
1) The Brain
2) Solomon Kane
3) Aeryn Sun
4) Omar
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10) Jack Sparrow
11) Belit
12) Flashman
13)
14)
15) Severian
Bonus Clues: The era each character typically inhabits --
5) Estimates vary between around 10,000BC and 500BC. I'm inclined to go with 10,000 BC, for reasons of ice ages and land bridges. I have a feeling she has some capability to travel through time, though.
6) Early 21st century.
7) Early 21st century, originally, though she hooked up with time travellers for a while... and the early 21st century she inhabited was not quite our own, though it was intended to be our world by those who invented the character.
8) Late 20th century; again, though, this is not *quite* our world, since the city this character supposedly occupies is fictional; other than that detail the setting closely resembles the real Earth.
9) More-or-less a medieval setting, but very definitely not on Earth.
13) Medieval setting, supposedly on our Earth, but again the specific region it takes place in is fictional. This character has also been propelled to other worlds and times, though that is rare.
14) Born in the late 18th century; nothing much exciting happened to her till the early 19th though. Some fiction in some medium has her in the 21st.
