First, select your ten fictional characters (from any medium) by whichever method you like best. Then answer the questions below.
1. Spike (BtVS)
2. Captain Jack Sparrow (PotC)
3. Sawyer (Lost)
4. Apollo (BSG)
5. Dean Winchester (SPN)
6. Lex Luthor (SV)
7. Hiro Nakamura (Heroes)
8. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
9. Rose Dewitt Bukater (Titanic)
10. Jean Grey (X-Men Movies)
1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?
Ok, so that would make it
Team 1:
Spike - Smart Guy
Sawyer - Big Guy
Dean - Leader
Hiro - Lancer
Rose - Chick
Team 2:
Jack - Big Guy
Apollo - Leader
Lex - Smart Guy
Lara - Lancer
Jean - Chick
Team 2 would totally win. Although if I swapped Sawyer for Jack that might make Team 2 even betterer ;)
2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
Lara would have the least change I think and Jack the most. Even so I don't think Jack would have to change massively to be a believable woman
3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?
Spike likes a poweful woman so I imagine he'd really go for Lara. I'm not sure she'd be interested in him though
Dean and Rose would maybe work. She's quite independant and although she's not the kickass girl I imagine Dean goes for I'm sure he'd be ok with her
Out of the two I see Spike and Lara working better than Rose and Dean though
4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
Sawyer - Physical
Apollo - Mental
Rose - Social
That was incredibly easy. LOL
5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
LOL! That would never work! Spike has no boss, especially not a geeky little kid like Hiro. Hehe! There would be much snark from Spike and Hiro would try and be all nice and positive about it
6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
LOL! Jack Sparrow in Smallville? That would be amusing. The obvious explanation would be that Lex met Jack while he was marooned on the island and brought him back to Smallville with him.
7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
Sawyer and Dean.
1. Guns. Lots of guns.
Other than that I have no clue! LOL.
8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Spike and Sawyer teaming up to kill Apollo? Well, Sawyer could probably con his way into getting close to Apollo and then poisoning him or whatever. Spike could probably get the drop on him too. Yeah, Apollo would be toast
9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?
Well, Lex would simply buy good parents to adopt the children. LOL. Or at the very least buy them the coolest and most expensive presents imaginable. Hiro would dress as Santa I think, since bending space and time can't really help. Rose could organise some dancing for the children and Jean Grey could do 'magic tricks' with her telekinetic powers
10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?
Lara would totally be distracted by priceless artifacts in all the countries she had to visit. LOL. Sawyer would get annoyed with her but I think in the end they'd manage to do it.
