Twelve Characters I Love
1. Eiri Yuki (Gravitation)
2. Turanga Leela (Futurama)
3. Sinbad (The Adventures of Sinbad)
4. Yuri Shibuya (Kyo Kara Maoh)
5. Ginji Amano (Get Backers)
6. Adam Park (Power Rangers)
7. Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
8. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
9. Ray Balzac Courland (Gorgeous Carat)
10. Shuichi Shindou (Gravitation)
11. Randy Disher (Monk)
12. Luke Snyder (As the World Turns)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Adam) or 11 (Randy)?
I
actually think they'd both make great professors! Adam would be so responsible and all the girls in his class would love him, and I just think he'd make a great teacher. I can also see Randy being a great teacher as well, and his personality would keep the class fun and not so serious. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Adam, but they both would be good.
2. Do you think 4 (Yuri) is hot? How hot?
No, I don't think Yuri Shibuya is hot at all. Insanely cute, yes, but hot? Not really. Well, I guess he was kind of hot when he was protecting his fiancee Wolfram in the episode when they all were paranoid that the other characters were out to get them, but even then, he's more cute than anything.
3. 12 (Luke) sends 8 (Cloud) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Well, if we can cross their worlds so they would meet, maybe Luke would send Cloud to get a 'cure' materia or something. Then he could fix his paralysis quicker than it is going on its own. I think Cloud would succeed, because he would only have to go to the nearest materia shop. He might make Luke pay for his services, although after defeating Sephiroth and stopping a meteor, a trip the store is nothing.
4. What is or would be 9's (Ray) favorite book?
Maybe something like The Great Big Book of Jewels, if there is such a thing. You know, because he's a jewel theif and all.
5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Leela) to swear fealty to 6 (Adam), or the other way around?
Adam is really into loyalty and honor, with his history in martial arts and devotion to his team, and Leela has a hard time trusting people (with good reason), so I'm going to go with Adam.
6. For some reason, 5 (Ginji) is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 (Ray) or with 10 (Shuichi)?
This is a tough one! Ray is so much like Ginji's best friend, Ban, that he would probably get along great with him. But on the other hand, Shuichi is a lot like Ginji, so they would probably get a long really well too. I think the chances of Ginjij falling for Shuichi are less than with Ray, though, so I think Ban would tell Ginji to pick Shuichi, so that's who he'd pick.
7. 2 (Leela), 7 (Vash), and 12 (Luke) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
They're all from different time periods, but I guess they'd all go to a restaurant were Luke lives, what with Vash's world being a barren wasteland and with Leela's time period serving weird food. Leela and Vash could talk about their abandonment issues, they could all talk about being outcasts, and Vash could give the other two love advice since he's been around for so long.
8. 3 (Sinbad) challenges 10 (Shuichi) to a duel. What happens?
Nothing would happen because of the canon facts when something bad happens in their respective worlds. If Sinbad got hurt, by the next episode, he'd be fine and nothing would ever be spoken about the occurance again. If Shuichi got hurt, he'd magically heal instantly. Or, since he's gotten shot in the head so many times, he might have built up an immunity to this sort of thing. He's not Yuki, though, so anything that happened to him would not be long lasting.
9. If 1 (Yuki) stole 8's (Cloud's) most precious possession, how would he get it back?
It would not end well for Yuki, that's for sure. I don't know what Cloud's most precious possession would be, other than maybe his buster sword or if he had kept Aeris' hair ribbon. But either way, Yuki would probably end up with a big hole in him about the size of said buster sword. But then again, Yuki has connections and Cloud would probably find himself roadkill if he did anything to Yuki.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Vash) and 12 (Luke) both attain what they most desire.
Maybe something like "Love and Peace" for the title. That's Vash's tagline and I think describes what both of them desire. Luke just wants to love and be loved and Vash wants the world to be peaceful. I guess this story could be what happened after question 8 from above after these two went out to dinner. So in the story, Noah would tell Luke he loved him and Knives would agree to stop his killing spree. Then they would have both attained what they both desired.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Yuri) and 1 (Yuki) to work together?
The plot device at the beginning of Kyo Kara Maoh seemed to work pretty well, what with the toilet and all. But I don't think Yuki would like that mode of transportation very much, so I guess maybe Yuri could travel back to his world (Earth) and meet up with Yuki and ask for his help on finding one of the forbidden boxes. Or they could just swap tips on handling their possessive lovers.
12. If 7 (Vash) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Pretty good, I guess, but I'd just spend the whole weekend listening to him talk because I love his voice.
13. If you could command 3 (Sinbad) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
I
would tell him to ditch Bryn and the leather pants and turn his personality and crew back to the way they were before season 2.
14. If 2 (Leela) had to choose sides between 4 (Yuri) and 5 (Ginji), which would it be?
Well, Leela always loves and feels like she has to protect cute things, and both Yuri and Ginji are adorable. But then again, they both can defend themselves pretty well. I guess if it was just a side in an argument or something, she'd probably choose Yuri because Ginji sometimes acted like Fry, who she probably wouldn't believe at first.
15. What might 10 (Shuichi) shout while charging into battle?
Shuichi certainly shouted a bunch of things during the course of the anime and manga, so there is quite a lot to choose from. Remembering that this is Shuichi, though, I would guess the battle would have something to do with Yuki, so I'll go with "Yuki is all MIIIIINNNNEEEE!!!" as his battle cry.
16. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Cloud) which song would you choose?
Cloud is so angsty and depressed all the time, and so much crap happened to him throughout his life, so I'd go with Simple Plan's "Untitled". The lyrics go something like "how could this happen to me", "I'm sick of this life I just want to scream", and "I'm slipping off the edge". I think that song represents Cloud, sadly.
17. 1 (Yuki), 6 (Adam), and 12 (Luke) 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?
I know that Yuki would get it, because both Adam and Luke are like the nicest guys ever. He wouldn't even have to ask for it, both of these guys would probably be offering it to him first.
18. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Leela) to use on 10 (Shuichi)?
Heh. The only thing Leela could ever say to try to pick up Shuichi would be to say that Yuki would say he loved him if he went out with Leela or something.
19. What would 5 (Ginji) most likely be arrested for?
Well, he might get arrested for causing a power outage or something with his electric powers, but I think it would be more likely that he would get in trouble for not paying their oustanding tickets on Ban's car.
20. What is 6's (Adam's) secret?
That he's in love with Rocky! Well, it could be his secret, right?
21. If 11 (Randy) and 9 (Ray) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Well, Randy has the distinct advantage of modern technology, so he would be able to drive there in his car. Ray can be very crafty, and actually did have a car as well, but his is of the early 1900's variety. So I'm going to go with Randy. But then again, if they were racing there to rescue, say, Florian, then Ray would be there first without a doubt whether Randy had his car or not.
22. 3 (Sinbad) and 7 (Vash) tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Wow, I don't think two more honest people could have been chosen for this question. That's a real tough one! Although, it took Vash a long time to be honest about his past to his friends, so I'm going to believe Boy Scout Sinbad.
23. 1 (Yuki) and 9 (Ray) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Yuri's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Randy) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Randy) is actually a spy for 4 (Yuri). Meanwhile, 4 (Yuri) has kidnapped 12 (Luke), in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Ginji), they seek out 3 (Sinbad), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
"Defeating the Demon Tribe", since this story is about stopping Yuri and his sinister secret organization. I know it's not good, but the story has so much going on, I didn't know what else to pick!
24. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Vash) or 8 (Cloud)?
Both of these guys would be great for protection, but Vash would probably be a better choice because anyone we ran into would not end up dead after we met them.
