—–<\/p>\n

Out of all of your characters from any game, who would you…<\/p>\n

Take to lunch?<\/b>
\nI can’t remember his name off the top of my head, but my Deadlands<\/i> character was a cross between Abraham Van Helsing and Egon Spengler. I think he’d have some fascinating stories and insights, and the fact that he’s slightly mad wouldn’t hurt a bit.<\/p>\n

Want to rescue you?<\/b>
\n“Professor K”, the mysterious mentalist I played in some Shadowrun<\/i> sessions. He’s appeared in lots of fic written by our crowd, and he’s pretty good at the whole rescuing thing – plus he has some interesting resources at his disposal.<\/p>\n

Never want to meet in a dark alley?<\/b>
\nI don’t really play many scary or disturbing characters, but after thinking about it, I’m not sure I’d want to meet “Circy”, my World of Warcraft<\/i> warlock. She looks pretty friendly most of the time, but even when they’re the “good guys”, warlocks in this game are not nice people. Besides, she’d be backed up by a Voidwalker demon or something.<\/p>\n

Hug?<\/b>
\n“Mirandala”, the gnome mage I play in WoW<\/i>. She’s adorable, and I think of her as pretty sweet, if a little butch at the same time.<\/p>\n

Be for a day?<\/b>
\n“Professor K”, definitely. Knowing his backstory info that never made it into the game, I’d love the chance to play with some of his tech toys and visit some of the places he had access to… such as Federation starships. (Yeah, our Shadowrun<\/i> games could get weird.)<\/p>\n

Steal powers\/skills from?<\/b>
\nI’ve played “Nebula” in several game systems and worlds, and she’s almost always an accomplished musician, generally as a singer and keyboardist. I’d love to have those abilities gifted to me.<\/p>\n

Take to an amusement park?<\/b>
\nIn the post-apocalyptic Deadlands: Hell on Earth<\/i>, I played a powerful Wiccan whose personality and look I created by trying to imagine a very angry, bitter tzel<\/a>. I think a trip to Disney World, or even Busch Gardens, would have done her a lot of good. At least she’d have some good memories to help bolster her the next time she fought techno-zombies.<\/p>\n

See their story made into a movie?<\/b>
\n“Professor K” and “Nebula” would require their own high-budget series, with possibly several spin-offs. Actually, I think the flying armored “Eclipse” from ptownhiker<\/a>‘s Marvel Super Heroes<\/i> game would be a fun movie subject, especially once the “ancient astronauts” part of his backstory came back into his life.<\/p>\n

Never trade places with, ever?<\/b>
\nIn a Technicon LARP, I played the Prince of Russia in an alternate 19th century of Imperial expansion and high-stakes diplomacy. Given the constant backstabbing, betrayal, and threats of war, I’m not sure how he ever got any sleep.<\/p>\n

Get stuck on an island with?<\/b>
\nWell, the flying mage “Bombardier” from Shadowrun<\/i> and “Eclipse” would each be useful, as they could fly us home. “Mirandala” could teleport us out, and “Professor K’s” friends have hi-tech ways to find us and retrieve us. If I’m really seriously stuck, though, I think “Nebula” would be a pretty charming companion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
