Guess the childhood dream of the character above!

Posted 6 years, 2 months ago (Edited 5 months, 17 days ago) by Bane hedgemaze

New game! Take a look at the profile of the character the person above you posts IC as, then guess what you think their childhood dream might have been.

Did they want to be a knight? a rock star? a famous actress? a mighty supervillain with the fate of a solar system under their thumb??? You tell us! It doesn't have to be a job either, maybe their dream was to be married with kids, to have a lot of dogs, to travel to space. Anything kid them would have wanted.

Post IC as a character for the next person to guess for! If you think your character's profile gives it away, you can request the person below to guess only based on their icon, or you can give a hint if their profile is misleading (i.e. "don't base your guess on their current job"). You can edit your post later if you want to tell the guesser whether or not they were right.

Rules and Tips:

  • Try to post IC as a character you think someone will be able to say something about! If they have no bio or if they're something like a feral animal or closed species with a bio that doesn't suggest anything about their society, thinking of a childhood dream might be hard!
  • Claim first if you need time to read the character's profile and think of an answer.
  • Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your comment! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your comment in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
  • You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
  • Let two people post before going again, and try to vary the characters you post here.
  • Be nice and have fun!   

I'll start us off with this guy. (Hint: his dream wasn't related to music) 

Edit: Good guess, but he actually wanted to be a teacher! :) He loved school... even if it didn't really work out for him.

Selena Mavis FreeFallingUp13

I think Kevvan might have wanted to become a travelling hero or soldier when he was a child, and that's why he obtained the skills and network to become a mercenary.


Note; Selena's backstory does contain a spoiler for her childhood dream, so don't read that! The hints I'll give are that
-Her father is the devil in a universe where demons are a neutral party devoted to servitude of humans
-She grew up around humans who were v e r y unhappy that she was a demon.


Yeah! She wanted to be Vice Satan, a heroic example of demons that would convince humans to give demons the respect they deserved.

Anselm Werther fuelli

Hmm. Maybe she wanted to become some kind of hero, so she could show humans they were wrong? Or maybe she wanted to be the leader of a rebel group against humans, instead? :o

Roswell van Breek fizzelston

I think Anselm always had a "preference" for time-related things. I think his dream of time-travel, was born really early. But maybe he also dreamt of being a machinist, or pirate with flintlock guns. Kids are simple like that.

SJLFSD I WAS THINKING.. the exact same thing while I wrote this.

Dr. Nicolai Ivanovich Kozlov RaikaiRan

I think  Rosewell Butcher had the dream to rule the world when he was a little kid. I read he is very egoistic. It would fit him well.

Maybe he also dreamed to have the biggest treasure in the world. 

"Cara" Lemonburgers

I feel like Nikolai wanted to work as a track/field athlete when he was young (as seen by his althletic/muscular and tall build). Later, it evolved to sports medicine/physical therapy to lastly, a doctor. 

Clayton RustHeart

I could totally see Cara as a little kit with those spy toys setting up cameras and stuff in her house.  She probably wanted to be a spy at a long age and that's why she became one later on in life.

"Oh. Hm. Well, 'tis sounds like Florida was already living the dream in his youth, having a wealthy upbringing and exploring the world," *cracks her knuckles and stretches in thought* "From what I've witnessed kids always want either what they don't have or what they think is presit- ,prestititigi-, ughm, whatever they think sounds cool. Perhaps he'd have wanted a break from all the traveling and settle down somewhere nice, maybe found a zoo or a themepark with plenty of alligators and critters from around the world so that instead of Florida having to go out to see the sights the sights could come to see Florida?"


(IMPORTANT: Note to potential person below me: Steer clear of Xiaofans "Contacts & questions" tab because it has her childhood dream neatly listed out)


Edit: Fighter is the closest. :D She wanted to be a samurai. Then she wanted to be an airbender. Then she wondered why she'd have to choose and decided she wanted to be a wizard-samurai.



Izzy hedgemaze

With all her energy and enthusiasm, I think she would have wanted to be an adventurer, or perhaps a fighter (of whatever kind is appropriate to the setting she lives in).


(Hint: Izzy didn't originally want to be a rock star)

He specifically wanted to be a dancer like Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire, but yes, you're right!

 Silent Blonda4

With him being raised on old movies and wanting to be an entertainer, it leads me to think his childhood dream was that he wanted to be an actor.


Pretty close! While writing is part of the job, he wanted to be a documentarian. 

Ukai Kyari njike

Based on his likes I can imagine a writer! Fits his personality too, as he could go long days by in quiet contemplation. Could write poetry even ha ha.

Not based on anything, but I think it would be slightly cruel if he had wanted to be a singer growing up, given his current circumstances ;-;.

Howl TheVoidScreamedBack

Has fancied herself a keen businesswoman, perhaps fantasizing about being the CEO of a self-made business. Mainly wants to be powerful, and moreover, important.

That said, 15 is a later point in childhood...


I think in her earlier years, her outlook was more optimistic and idealistic. Wanted to make the world a better place. Maybe an environmentalalist of sorts-- which occasionally flares up in her dumpster diving-- recycling/repurposing

//hint

Howl was a normal tomboyish girl when she was a child. She became a monster much later in life.

papyrusswaghetti

hmmm maybe that one childhood dream that most kids have had like "oh I'd like to be a princess!" or "I want to be a dragon slayer!" but howl wanted to genuinely be a monster, no princesses for her

Rei CaptainSteve

I think Leon would dream of wanting to be a world famous rockstar whom makes a lot of money :)

Looking at his situation, bio, and interests thats what i think! ^^

Valentina Furaha princefizz

Rei just... wanted to be a cat when he grew up. That’s it. Just a cat.


Hint- look at his avatar!
