What one item would your OC save from a fire?

Posted 6 years, 3 months ago (Edited 5 years, 6 months ago) by Amber hedgemaze

In the vein of the "What's in your character's pocket?" thread, here's another little question that might say a lot about your character!

What's the single most important physical item in your character's life, the one thing they would save from a burning building? Why is it so important to them? (Alternately, is there anything they would be happy to see burn?)

(Maybe try not to pick pets or loved ones for this since that's probably the logical first priority for most characters, but you can if that's absolutely the only thing that would be on their mind!)


I'll go first, and say that Amber would save her guitar, because it was a gift from someone very dear to her who has since passed on.

Otis Storm_Clouds

Otis would probably save the one picture of the scientist that made him (since he technically considers them like a parent).

Mercury would most likely save his family photo album from a fire if anything. The rest can most likely be electronically saved/backed up to secondary/tertiary locations...

 Dane Lauzet 💖 birthday

dane would take the wip of the next volume of his novel for sure. if it got ruined or destroyed he would probably die lol

 Howl Kurosawa Milkweed

Howl doesn't really care about any of his own possessions, but he would for sure save his little brother's Tamagotchi. Virtual pets are very important! His little brother (who is nineteen) would be touched, if a little startled and mildly distressed by Howl's priorities.

He's amassed a bunch of clothing from his work in modelling, and in all honestly he'd probably be relieved to see all of it burn. He feels a little suffocated by the job and everything that's come along with it.

           At first Roska would be indecisive between important documents in the fleet's archive, because of his responsibility as flagship, or a personal item belonged to his friend. Ultimately though, I think he would go with the latter, which is a saber belongs to Admiral Lazarev (whom I haven't created a profile on TH yet), his close friend and Petya's older brother. Roska strongly holds on to a hope that Lazarev will return from his deactivated state someday and on that day he will return this saber, which is the part of uniform for all project 1144 Orlan androids, along with the flagship position. Besides, being an android himself, Roska probably thinks that all those documents in the archive seriously need to be digitized and preserve as data in the navy's main data center or something similar already.

          Meanwhile, he would really want to take off his red kosovorotka shirt and toss it to the flame.   Unfortunately for him though that I won't let him do that and be given a chance to choose a new uniform shirt. Thus according to the plot, even though if he might do so, there are still a dozen of spare red kosovorotka shirts stocked in the fleet's storage.

Luke would save his camera gear! It's all he owns of value, and his photography is his life.

"I'd save my mace of course, moron. Not like I have many earthly possessions anyway."

Jubil Avarilen SymeSynth

"My sling bag. It contains all of the creatures I care for, and I would rather not see them perish."

Lilith Hylia Phazya

"I'd probably try to tame the fire first, but if that fails, definitely the rarest DNA samples in my cryocontainer."

 Mike Camembert xxoldxx

"My Monster Mansion collection! I spent so much money on it, and I love it so much! I would never let it burn down!" 

(Monster Mansion is a series of videogames in Mike's universe)

Dr. Nicolai Ivanovich Kozlov RaikaiRan

"I would save my research, which I have collected for a lifetime. My laptop has all important data on it, which I must never lose. There is no backup of it. Also on my laptop are pictures of the earth. As the planet once was." Nicolai's voice died away, he looked into the distance and sighed almost tonelessly. "In a state where earth wasn't like a desert. Where everything was still green and blue. A place I'll never see myself. "

Crystal Stardreams PawzTheDrFoxFan

"If I didn't save my Unikitty figures, I'd probably die lol"


(Crystal lives in the regular world most of the time as a pet of one of my other ocs (not on Toyhouse yet))

Apollo Kingston classicturtle

LMAO am I allowed to say himself for ironic purposes?  No?

Apollo would make sure he's taking his top hat!  Seems weird, and not that important, but don't tell him that.  It's probably the most important thing he owns.

"Hmmm it's gonna be my camera, I have a lot of train and dancing footage on there,plus it was the first thing I bought after my home..."
