What If Your Character Were Aware of YOU?

What might your character's reaction be if they were aware that you existed and you were responsible for creating them and keeping them alive? Worse yet, they knew you were the reason behind their horribly tragic origin story, every time they ported to the hospital, etc...

D'Shan Steelclaw:

"So, let me get this straight... I was comfortable on my homeworld, surrounded by delightful female feline companionship and well respected in my community... then this... human... decides I should be pinned with a murder I didn't commit and exiled to a world primarily populated with ape-descended naked mole rats where I get to live in a city with a never-ending criminal population who all share the same fondest wish of killing me? And he's done all this because he wanted to play a 'game'...

"Breathe... breathe... happy place... I'm in my happy place... Okay... I can accept this. At least tell me my (cringe) Master is a fine, upstanding citizen... well-respected in his community, with dignity and honor..."

...

....

.....

"Your silence is not encouraging."

Eiko would shoot me, on the spot, insisting no one controlled her or her destiny.

The Violet Valkyrie would tell me I looked nothing like Hel.

Stacy Wu would demand to know when I was going to get around to that whole "women of the Tsoo" idea, since that was what started all this mess.

Lapin Lazuli would shrug, thank me for making sure things turned out so well in the end, and then ask if it was really necessary she lose the eye. She'd probably be a little angry if she found it was simply so I could give her a pink eyepatch and pretend she was General Beatrix once in a while.

"D'Shan. Shut your whining or I'm dragging your @$$ to Monster Island and turning off your toggles. Or I'll strip your enhancements and give them to the new scrapper I'm building. Or the next time free server transfers come around, I'm shipping you off to Protector."

Similar concept in a book called "Creator" by Jeremy Leven.

In my comic stories, Shandora never breaks the 4th wall, but in my guides... and my many never-completed guides, she was well aware of me.

She dislikes the costumes I choose for her, quips about my poor scriptwriting, and isn't really comfortable that some freak is watching her backside for hours on end while she fights crime. Shandora wants to use Ouroboros to travel to a future where tron-like tech is available, bring it back, zap me inside, and show me some Paragon street justice.... Barring that, she's hoping I'll leave open a bluetooth connection to my lego mindstorm master module so she can start building a robot that can do the same..

Not sure why I make our relationship so damn abusive. I'm married. get enough of that at home....

Pink Lioness would say "Pink Lioness? SERIOUSLY!? PINK LIONESS!? You REALLY couldn't have come up with something a LITTLE more intimidating!? Oh, watch out, here comes Pink Lioness! Who's scared of a frickin' pink lioness!? And what's with this costume!? My girls are damn near on display! You're a creep! And another thing, why am I surrounded only by girls on this server? You perv, playing with girls all the time. Would it KILL you to make a guy once in a while? Damn sicko. I would Eagle's Claw that beard off your face if I could cross over to your side."

To which I would cry

*tap*tap*tap*tap*

Heeellllooo.... hello? Level five here with 92 days since last played! Hello? Come on! I could at least be picking up Day Job badges! *tap*tap*tap* You there? I'm bloated with patrol experience here. Don't make me wait for Issue 19... Guys? Anyone?...

Yeah, that's cool. Pick the level 50 again. Jerk.

Tidbit Jr.: So, I was thinking we could farm to improve my build or badge list.

Me: Yeah, but you defeat things slowly. My brute on Triumph is so much faster...

Tidbit Jr.: ... yeah, go play him. Then email me the influence.

Me: Totally.

I think they'd probably kick my butt.

Excellent question. I think I would be lectured and then be on the receiving end of a few pile drivers.

Well, the in game Dechs would no doubt decide to fund my quest to rule the real world.

Hyperstrike: Remember the time I nearly beat that Hellion to death with a railroad tie?
Me: Uhh.
Hyperstrike: Just kidding! Shake!
*CRUNCH*
Me: AUUUGH!
Hyperstrike: Remember Bam-Bam from the Flintstones?
Me: Oh crap...
Tectonica: Set me up to be experimented on by Devouring Earth!
Stabbitha: Sent a sensitive Magical Girl to an assassin's academy!
Inion Iomlain Gealai: Put me through over two millennia of hell!
Flamin' Trolla: Turned me into a troll!
Lady Domina: Turned me into a campy dominatrix carricature!
Feelin' Emo: YOU CALLED ME FEELIN' EMO! YOU SADIST!
Infinite Nerdrage: I'll show you Infinite Nerdrage you dork!
Indiana Lovecraft: Got me possessed by a Great Old One!
Ammom Erehwon: Made my name some stupid backwards joke!
Mighty Pi: You made me nuts! Then put me in dangerous situations! AND YOU HAVE OFFENDED PI!
Me: I wish I were dead.
Eclipse Phase: Kid, you should only be so lucky...

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Actually, my alts are aware of me. We usually take turns alternating who controls who. One week I control them; the next they control me.

It would explain why I have this spork stuck in my head. :/

My characters would point at me and say "Ah. You're the god we get to blame for the misery we've been put through."

One in particular would be quite pleased to start carving me up like a deer. And he's a hero character!

He'd be shouting stuff like "What is wrong with you!? How could you let Silver Mantis DO THAT to me!?"

"stop touching yourself whilst looking at my rear! Or at least let me help you..."

With three level 50 masterminds who have been ignored and left to their own whims for six months, several level 50 IO'd scrappers and brutes who would rather dance at Pocket D than fight Praetorians every night, and a few battle worn blasters and corruptors who have faceplanted a few times too many, I'm sure they would join forces and:

-contact some casino CEO to hire me at an outrageous salary

-set up phishing sites on my PC to gain access to my funds

-use the cash to get drunk at the Boardwalk in Talos

-and turn my Facebook page into a hub for dental floss fetishes (well mainly the dominators).

I don't have a "character" - so my avatar is just me - so I'm already aware of me

I suspect I'd get an awful lot of "And WHAT, exactly, were you thinking when you made me do that?!"

"Seriously, I do NOT need another costume change... there are missions and bad guys out there to fight. OMG not that color... PLEASE !..."

**Damien**

My characters would point at me and laugh saying "Ha! You have to take a bus to work!"

Then they would use their travel power to zoom off the screen like the Road Runner.
