Update 21/04/2022: Just wanted to let people know that I don't actively monitor this game, so please PM me if any problems arise!
A while ago, I got permission from the creator of this forum game to create my own version! Most of the questions here are brand-new, though I also took a few from the original game because I liked them. The rules for this thread will basically be the same as that version. I recommend checking out the original, especially if you want to see examples of how people played it.
--How to play--
- Written below are two sets of numbered questions - the A set and the B set.
- Look at the characters of the user above you, and choose one that you're curious about. Make a post pinging the user (by writing @ followed by their username) and tell them the character you chose plus a few of the prewritten questions. (Example: 'I'd like to see questions A2, A5 and B7 with your character Frederick!')
- Once the next poster asks you some questions, edit your post to write your answers.
--Rules--
- This shouldn't need many rules, but keep the obvious things in mind - no excessively sexual, gory or disturbing answers, don't be rude, don't purposely skip people, and if you have a problem with anyone in the thread, PM me. Don't start drama here.
- Avoid asking more 'mature' questions (i.e. A7, B4) to very young characters, as this will likely make people uncomfortable.
- There's no specific number of questions you should ask, but in the interests of fairness and space, try to keep it between 3 and 6.
- After posting, wait until at least 3 other people have posted before going again. If over 24 hours have passed since the last person posted, then you can go again regardless of how many posts there have been.

11. What makes them stressed
12. Worst injuries
13. How they behave when angry
Question Set B:

9. People they look up to
10. Comfort foods
11. Pet peeves
12. Inspirations or general thoughts behind their creation
13. Your favourite thing(s) about them as a character
That should be everything! The first person who posts can just claim that spot and wait for someone to ask them questions.
How about A2, A6, B3, and B4 for Carina?
Ooh, I don't get to write for Vivian very often.
A4. Fears/phobias
Vivian mostly fears losing Beatrice, as Beatrice is basically the one part of the family she actually cares about. The two were inseparable since childhood, despite their disagreements, and knows that Beatrice would do anything to find Edward due to similar feelings. It's not even just her own feelings about being Beatrice's younger sister -- she just feels that deeply about her sister.
A6. Things they don't like talking about
Vivian doesn't really like to talk about her kleptomania, as talking about it means acknowledging it, and acknowledging it means she has to go to therapy, and going to therapy means she has to open up about not only her kleptomania, but everything else she's been bottling in. Her feelings about her parents, her worries about Beatrice's interests, her worries about Edward...she doesn't like talking about those either.
B3. Personality traits they like in others
She tends to get along with people who don't mind her strong personality, but she also acknowledges that she can be terrible at times with her assertiveness. Ironically, a person like her sister who is able to respect her strongarming tactics while rebuking them would be those that she'd find herself liking more.
B12. Inspirations or general thoughts behind their creation
I enjoyed filling out the world I have for Bendy and the Ink Machine, as an alternative timeline, and Vivian and Beatrice are both examples of that. I also wanted to paint a picture of people from Edward's biological family who would learn about Edward and attempt to find him, not knowing that he was already dead. Despite that, I never actually wrote for them that much, except for part of a drabble.
A4, A6, B3, B12 for Vivian

A11. What makes them stressed?
Emoticon deals with RSD. Anything he interprets as rejection causes him to freak out. He can cause a lot of damage.
B3. What it takes to make them cry?
Emoticon can not cry. He does not have eyes. He does not get the urge to cry because he has no tear ducts.
7. Habits
Exploring other planets, debating, reading, music.. His main habit is debating if anyone is around to do it.
A11, B3 and B7 for Emoticon
-------
anyone in this folder is alright !
A2: He's mostly insecure about what he knows, like, people around him seems to know so much more than him and he really wishes he would have as much knowledge as anyone else. He also often feels annoying when he asks questions, mostly because of Gall who often just looks annoyed when Zazel asks him something.
A11: He's really stressed out by screamings, especially when it's directed towards him. Situations where people seems scared/angry/etc... but he doesn't understand why also stress him out.
B9: He doesn't really know that many people honestly, really he pretty much just know two people, Milo and Gall, and he looks up to both of them (even if Gall is pretty shitty to him tbh).
He looks up to Milo because she seems really awesome to him, especially with how talented she is with magic and also because she always seems to have an answer to everything.
For Gall it's because Zazel seems him as really strong and courageous, something he hope he could also be.
for leia, a1, a5, a12, b2, and b7?

ooo raine,,,,,,, hello sir :flushed:
a1. Something they might have nightmares about
- hm. a lot! things like the realm falling apart because of his physical condition, or that forrest will be unable to handle something without him, or that a war might break out. mostly political concerns... but i feel like he might also see his mother and her body sometimes... oh, also dogs and wolves.
a12. Worst injuries
- as with a lot of my ocs its a bit hard to say because he hasn't really had the chance to injure himself. thinking of him though, there might have been a time when he attempted to force himself to walk on his bad leg, and probably ripped the sutures or such. it's not like he can walk on it for so long that he could actually cause more damage...
b4. Physical traits they find attractive
- hard to say, lmao! the fact that he suffers from severe melancholia makes it hard, and on top of the fact he's only been out a handful of times. inclined to say he might like others with long hair? despite not caring for his much, he likes having it.... and maybe black hair. dont know why. get the vibes though.
b10. Comfort foods
- black forest gateau! as far as sweets go, its his favourite! also if it counts, he adores rose tea too.
Let's go with Raine
A1, A12, B4 and B10
---------
Good choice! The results are in!
A3: I would say her deserts being ruined, specifically for Princess Cesysset. Burnt or smeared, she strives for perfection. It it happened on Cesysset's birthday she would be devastated for sure.
A7: Alisha is rather tipsy, somewhat giggly. She would be a fun drunk to hang out with. Like she would always be leaning on something, very apologetic and laid back. But she would joke around with people.
B3: She really enjoys the assertive types. Coming from Cesysset. She likes people who would take action and plan later because it is what she strives. She also enjoys someone comedic, such as Merelda's clownish antics.
B11: She hates hates hates being confined to her room or paperwork. Sometimes the duties of a Princess becomes to much for her to bare.
Shadowzim777 - I love Alisha's story; maybe A3, A7, B3 and B11 for her?
Ooh, I don't get to use my vampire hunter squad often...
4. Fears/phobias
His sister. She was turned into a vampire and the shock of the change pretty much broke her mind (as can sometimes happen). She recognises him, but doesn't love him anymore, and doesn't remember much of her past. She's a killer who craves blood. There's a scene I've yet to write where Truman finally finds his sister after searching for her for years, and finds out just how insane she is. It terrifies him - not just because she's dangerous, but because he's afraid he'll never be able to get the 'real her' back.
He's also afraid of being in situations where he needs to communicate but is unable to.
7. How do they behave when drunk
He's a nice drunk - quite chill, gets very relaxed and a bit more affectionate than usual. Tends to lose some coordination, so his handwriting/texting suffers as a result.
1. What relaxes them
He's usually quite relaxed by nature, but spending time with his friends (especially girlfriend Samantha), drinking, eating, and taking walks outside all relax him. He might do some of these things to calm down in the event that he does get angry/stressed.
3. Personality traits they like in others
Above all else, he likes people who have a good sense of humour and know how to have fun. Suffocatingly serious people, or those who can't take a joke, bore him to death. This does cause him to occasionally clash with his boss Sandra, who's very much like this, but they never have serious disagreements. He's generally quite amicable with everyone, except for selfish or arrogant people, who genuinely annoy him.
RadiantRaindragon A4, A7, B1 and B3 for Truman? :) (Whooot they are all so cool? D: )
A1: Something they might have nightmares about
Cyan lost his family to hunters and "heroes" at a young age, so he is terribly afraid of loss as well as of being alone. His nightmares usually are pretty simple yet terrifying to him, being alone in a dark room that doesn't seem to have an exit or anyone else around.
A3: What it takes to make them cry
Probably telling him he's useless and that no one needs him. Ties in with his fear of being abandoned again but there's nothing worse for Cyan than feeling like he can't be of help or that he is unwanted.
B2: Things they're proud of
One of his proudest moments was when he actually learned how to spit fire and thus became a "real" dragon. He is also proud of anything Hecate praises him for because her word means a lot to him. Another great achievement for him was learning to read. He is also naturally good with languages and speaks quite a lot, which he is very proud of.
B12: Inspirations or general thoughts behind their creation
While I can not tell you about the thought behind his initial creation since he was a gift from a dear friend I can tell you about my ideas/why I got him!
I mainly wanted to get him as a companion for Hecate who is kind of a seer/medium and tends to be rather reclusive because people mostly fear her. He is a close friend to her and her assistant as well as guardian to some degree. He might not be as big and powerful as older dragons but he still has a lot of magical power simply because of his being. I also like to think that they learn a lot from each other, Cyan learning magic and languages from Hecate and Hecate learning to be actually somewhat friendly towards other beings and understanding their struggles; for a long time she did not have any perspective but her own.
Asking about Cyan A1, A3, B2, and B12.
Any of my OCs is fine.
A9: Best way to push their buttons/make them angry?
Lots of buttons to press! You can ever flirt with him excessively and he will get angry. Hurt his friends and he gets very protective of them and will attack you in anger. If you keep bothering him when he's sad then he'll get angry. Just please be aware of Mokai
B1: What relaxes them?
Gardens and creating drawings often let Heart Dee relax. Warm bubble baths or bath bombs can also make him feel relaxed. Giving him a bit of space will aid in relaxing Heart Dee.
B10: Comfort foods?
Ice cream,chocolate,flower salad, nectar
Troops21 how about A9, B1, and B10 for Heart Dee?
A9. Best way to push their buttons/make them angry
Callan is a pretty chill dude, and unbelievably patient. He can put up with a lot, but the one thing that will get to him without fail is taking advantage of others.
A12. Worst injuries
While Callan can still feel pain, he is made of stone, so the definition of "injury" has be taken very loosely. However, there have been times during his days as a research subject where he has nearly died, the closest instance of which being when his heart was entirely removed from his body.
B7. Habits
While Callan does have lungs usually, he doesn't actually need to breathe, and often times when sitting in public, he forgets to do so, resulting in people mistaking him for an actual statue. He also tends to chew on the ends of his art utensils.
A9, A12 and B7 for Callan?
9. Best way to push their buttons/make them angry
Intentionally screwing with him in a way that's meant to be malicious, as opposed to playful, can get on his nerves. He doesn't like people who go out of their way to annoy others. Goading him about his past or fears can also annoy him. However, his ability to shrug off insults is determined by his stress level; he's more likely to take it badly when he's already got a lot on his mind. Likewise, if he's in a very good mood, it might not affect him much at all.
If you're close to him - lying, or not telling him when you need help/are suffering, will piss him off. (But out of concern.)
12. Worst injuries
He was once caught under a collapsing building, sustaining a head injury that left him with permanent amnesia of the event, as well as shattering both legs. It took him a month to fully recover.
He was also impaled by a venomous dragon tail-spike, which stabbed through his ribs and punctured his lung. The wound itself was bad enough, but the venom made it much worse, causing him to suffer several minutes of excruciating pain before his healing magic neutralised it.
2. Things they're proud of
Surviving, more than anything. He's proud of having lived long enough to see Sargon's downfall and find his way to a happier life.
B10, A9 and B2 for Armin ?
------------
anyone in here is alright !
lmao people seems to like Zazel on there
B1: He finds taking care of plants really relaxing. He also likes to watch birds and to listen to calm music.
B12: I wanted a character that would look completely different from the rest of my Llynne characters in terms of concept. For the design i wanted him to look similar to other creatures/characters of mine, like if he took parts of the look of others that he liked to shapeshift into. Tbh i'm still not 100% happy with his design, i'd like him to look a bit more weird/unusual.
b1 and/or b12 for Fern!
anyone here!
A3 - What it takes to make them cry
Dakota's a pretty emotional person, so everything from a particularly cute animal to a well-written fictional character death to finding out she's been manipulated or lied to (or, god forbid, a Real person dies) will start the waterworks. So, more directly - not much xD I wouldn't call her a cry baby, but she's more likely to cry than your average person.
B3 - Personality traits they like in others
People! With! Personality! She does NOT have time for boring, shallow, by-the-book types. Empathetic, goofy, honest, adventurous, are all traits she values pretty highly.
B8 - Pets they've owned
Saturn is her first real pet, but her family has kept fish for years. Fancy fish, too. They've got a HUGE salt water fish tank in the living room by the TV.
I'll go A3, B3 and B8 for Dakota!
1. Something they might have nightmares about
Waking up one day and suddenly not remembering anything. Eldritch's memory loss happens gradually, and that won't change, so fearing it happening is irrational. However, the sleeping mind can come up with all sorts of odd things.
He might also have nightmares about being trapped, such as in a cave, and unable to escape.
1. What relaxes them
Piano music - either soft and soothing, or upbeat and cheerful. The sound of gentle wind hitting the windows at night, sometimes accompanied by flurries of snow. The ethereal beauty of the realm itself. Nature and weather - some of the rawest, most unchangeable things - are very comforting to him.
3. Personality traits they like in others
That's a hard one, but I think he prefers people who are patient and understanding. Eldritch struggles with many aspects of life. With his amnesia, blindness, and the difficulties of running the kingdom, he really needs people around him who are patient and willing to let him take his time.
6. Things they're grateful for
The enchanted crown that allows him to see for short periods of time. Magical aids like that are kind of rare, since there aren't many people powerful or knowledgeable enough to make them, and it's only really Eldritch's status that got him easy access to one.
He's also grateful to be living in the Snowglobe - despite its flaws, he's enthralled by the natural beauty of the place. From what little he knows of other worlds, like Earth, he could never imagine living in those.
