Okay, I worked on this on and off today. Here we go:
Dezh's answers
- What’s your MC’s social media presence like? If they have any.
“Social media is for attention whores,” Dezh growled. So yeah, minimal. She’s more of an email/texting kinda person. She might go on discussion boards now and then (and she loves sending memes), but that’s about it.
- If they could see any one band/artist in concert – living or dead – who would they choose to see?
“Elvis. And if you make fun of me for it, I’ll beat the shit out of you.”
- How would they respond to being approached by/coming across an obviously lost child?
Dezh stared at the kid for a few seconds, then let out a long breath and held out her hand. “Let’s go find your parents, kiddo. And get some ice cream. You look like you’re in desperate need of ice cream. I know I am.” And some alcohol. She looked around to make sure no one she knew saw her. If Tina ever got wind of this, she’d never live it down.
- Describe their body type.
Short (5’2”), hourglass figure, and buff (muscular, but not abnormally big, just very cut while still being feminine)
- Are they persnickety about grammar/spelling?
She’s just short of being a grammar Nazi when it comes to writing. As far as how people speak, she’s pretty chill.
- What would they name their child?
“I’m not having children,” Dezh snapped. After a moment, she muttered under her breath, “But if I did, I’d want a boy and name him Mace. And it has nothing at all to do with Mason, dammit.”
- What were they wearing when they got snatched by Murphy?
Black tank top, black yoga pants, and black boots.
- If, shortly after meeting UB, you were to tell your MC that they’ll eventually end up with their RO, how would they respond? Would that response change if you told them that just after the end of Book 1?
Shortly after meeting UB: “You mean we’re gonna bang, right?” Dezh asked dryly. “I knew that the moment he sat in my office smoking under a no smoking sign.” She paused when the speaker continued talking, speaking utter nonsense. Her expression turned from disbelief to pure amusement. Then, with no warning, she burst into hysterical laughter. “Are you high?”
If it was after the end of Book 1: “We’ll bang, he’ll move on. That’s his way. If you think anything else, you’re insane.” Dezh cleared her throat, turned, and stalked away, uncertain why in the hell her heart was pounding out of her chest.
- What are they like to shop with?
Ever seen a terminator in action? There you go. Whenever she can, she orders things off the internet so she doesn’t have to deal with shopping in a store (people are annoying, slow, in her way, and don’t seem to know what they want—losers!). If she’s shopping for gifts for other people, she takes a bit more time, but she goes in with an idea of what kind of gift she wants to buy and makes decisions quickly. She’s actually really good at picking out gifts for people she bothers to get to know and cares for. She won’t wrap it, though, and will just throw it at them and say, “Here. Thought you’d like this.”
- Phone model? Lockscreen/homescreen wallpapers? Ringtone? Text tone? Do they have special tones for specific people? Favorite apps?
Newest version of Samsung Galaxy.
Lockscreen: Darth Vader’s head
Homescreen: a bunch of wolves hanging out by the water at night.
General ringtone: Imperial March from Star Wars
Tina: Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback
Verda: Weird Science by Oingo Boingo
Adam: Dogs of War by Blues Saraceno
Mason: Kinda I Want To by Nine Inch Nails
Once she realizes she has feelings for him, she’ll want to change it to: Hurt by NIN since she’ll believe it an impossibility (and I figure if the MC confesses feelings to M, M will be out the door so fast you won’t see them move, lol).
Nate: Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin
Felix: Vogue by Madonna
Rebecca: Home by Three Days Grace
Text tone: “I sense something, a presence I have not felt since…” (Darth Vader)
- In a The Purge-like situation (no laws for however long, probably a bit more involved than that, I’ve never actually seen any of the flicks) how would they act? What would they do?
She would be armed to the teeth and out protecting people being attacked by psychos. And she’d show the psychos no mercy at all.
- Is your MC superstitious in any way?
Dezh: “No, superstitions are bullshit.” Truth? It’s why she’s a pessimist and afraid to believe in anything good. She figures if she starts believing in something, it’ll just disappear on her. Fate’s way of saying ‘fuck you’ to her.
- Extra silly question!: what would your MC/RO’s ship name be? (Lmao, number 13. Is a cursed question!)
Mazh? If I use her full first name, it’s much easier, I suppose. Nadason.
- How would they handle seeing a spider or cockroach in their room?
Screaming, cursing, and, ultimately, beating it to death with a rubber mallet (leaving dents in the floor because she hits it so hard) or hacking it in half with her wakizashi (leaving slices in the floor because she hit it so hard).
- If your MC was to temporarily lose their voice but still had to interact with other people, how would they go about communicating?
She’d just text them. Or write out whatever she wanted to say. Or just not bother, for the most part.
- Would your MC be down with pranking/being pranked? If so, what would their preferred method of pranking be?
She’s not much for being pranked, or really pranking others. If she decided to bother with it, she’d do something terribly unfunny (to most people), and have people come in to find her lying in a pool of fake blood with her pretending to be dead, then jump up and scare the piss out of them when they leaned over her. She’d find that hilarious.
- Do they prefer the heat or the cold? Any particular reason why?
Cold, because you can always put on more clothes or find some other way to get warm.
- After everything goes down with Murphy, your MC comes to in their own bed. They go to check their phone only to find that it’s the morning of the Janet Greenland murder scene. And they remember everything. What do they do?
Armor up, ammo up, go to the lab and catch Murphy unaware with a flashbang grenade, unload a few mags into him so he can’t heal fast, beat him into a bloody pulp, chain him to a wall, then call Adam to come get the asshat before he can heal up. If he regained consciousness, she’d rinse and repeat till Adam got there, getting a few extra beatings in on him for daring to use liquid DMB on Mason (and would tell him that’s why).
- How would they answer this age old question: “how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?”
Dezh smirked at the question, but answered without hesitation, “Sixty-nine.”
- Your MC is in a Die Hard situation… and they’re John McClane. How do they handle things?
Very close to what McClane did. With more explosions and cursing.
- How would they react to discovering that they’re the hot new meme of the moment?
“I’m a meme? What the fuck is wrong with people?”
- If your MC was in a heist flick, which role would they fill?
Muscle and getaway driver.
- Does your MC have any experience with prophetic dreams – whether they’re predicting something mundane or something exceptional? If they did have a dream of something a bit more off the wall that ended up coming true, would they think anything of it? Would they think anything about having dreamt about their RO prior to meeting them?
She has had little things appear in dreams that ended up happening, but she just writes it off as coincidence (though she often has conversations with people that she “knows” she’s had before and can predict to the word what they will say before they say it… it only lasts a short time, though). If she had a dream a bit more off the wall that came true, she’d likely ignore it, RO or otherwise.
- Your MC is approached with the following offer: pick any one of your strengths or weaknesses to give up. In return, a coin shall be flipped: heads means you get a new strength of choice, tails means you get a new weakness of choice. Would they take the offer? If yes, what would they give up? What would they choose for either heads or tails? [For the sake of the question, the offer is 100% legit, and all parties are fully aware of this. Unless you want this shit to be sketch. Do you, boo.]
She’d take it. She would give away her lack of supernatural healing so she’d be more useful to the team. If the coin landed heads, she’d want supernatural physical strength. If it landed tails, she would take slowly growing hair as a weakness.
- What is your MC’s texting style? Do they abuse emojis? How quick are they to respond to texts?
She’s to the point, typically, unless she’s complaining about something. She doesn’t abuse emojis. How quickly she responds is dependent upon her mood, what she’s doing at the time, and who’s texting her. She typically responds within a few minutes, though, for most people.
- If your MC were declared God-Emperor of Earth, what would be their first order of business?
Making it clear to everyone that the new motto of the world is “mind your own damned business.” If what other people are doing with their own lives doesn’t affect you, your family, directly harm innocents, or take money out of your pocket, then STFU and get over it. If what you’re doing is offensive to someone, and that someone isn’t physically harassing you, in your face, or trying to take money from you, ignore them and get on with your life—no one owes you approval or support and your feelings aren’t protected because if you let someone else’s words hurt you, it’s a choice you made and is your problem. Seriously, a lot of the world’s problems would be solved if people just minded their own damned business and stopped worrying about what other people thought.
-
Who would your MC want to play them in a movie of their life?
• “Why would anyone what to make a movie of my life? That’d suck.”
-
If your MC were to say one thing to you right at this moment, fully aware of your role in their creation/continued existence, what would they say? And how would you respond?
Dezh: “What the hell have you done to me? Every time I’m around Mason, my heartrate skyrockets and my chest feels weird. I don’t understand!”
Me, sympathetically: “You’ll figure it out soon enough. Good luck with that.”
- Your MC is about to go out like the badass action hero they definitely are. What would they want their final words to be?
“I’m the bitch with a jacket full of grenades, asshole!”
Nyx's answers
- What’s your MC’s social media presence like? If they have any.
None. She gets online as little as possible and curses about having to deal with email.
- If they could see any one band/artist in concert – living or dead – who would they choose to see?
Beethoven. She loves classical music.
- How would they respond to being approached by/coming across an obviously lost child?
She would simply tell the child she’s a police officer, ask who its parents were, make the kid wait somewhere safe, and send everyone out looking for the parents while announcing it over a loudspeaker.
- Describe their body type.
Fairly short (5’4”), athletic figure (wider shoulders, narrow waist, and narrow hips) with lean, toned muscles
- Are they persnickety about grammar/spelling?
Yes
- What were they wearing when they got snatched by Murphy?
Workout shorts, racer-backed tight tank top, and running shoes
- If, shortly after meeting UB, you were to tell your MC that they’ll eventually end up with their RO, how would they respond? Would that response change if you told them that just after the end of Book 1?
Shortly after meeting UB: “That’s highly unlikely.”
If it was after the end of Book 1: “I… don’t think so. Adam is very…” She frowned when she remembered how upset Adam was when she was bleeding to death on the floor of the warehouse. But he was also back to being distant in the hospital, so… “Yeah, that is unlikely.”
- Phone model? Lockscreen/homescreen wallpapers? Ringtone? Text tone? Do they have special tones for specific people? Favorite apps?
Blackphone 2.
The rest? She pays no attention to such things and uses the thing as little as possible.

No.
- Extra silly question!: what would your MC/RO’s ship name be? (Lmao, number 13. Is a cursed question!)
Adyx

She’d step on it.
- If your MC was to temporarily lose their voice but still had to interact with other people, how would they go about communicating?
Morse code.
- Do they prefer the heat or the cold? Any particular reason why?
Heat. She gets cold really easily.
- After everything goes down with Murphy, your MC comes to in their own bed. They go to check their phone only to find that it’s the morning of the Janet Greenland murder scene. And they remember everything. What do they do?
She’d inform Rebecca and UB, tell them she knows everything about all of it (them being vampires, Murphy being the killer), so they need to get their asses in gear because she’s about to head to the lab and take care of Murphy. They can either help or read about it in the news.
- How would they answer this age old question: “how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?”
“What is a tootsie pop?”
- Your MC is in a Die Hard situation… and they’re John McClane. How do they handle things?
Similarly to McClane, but with less yelling.
- How would they react to discovering that they’re the hot new meme of the moment?
She’d simply shake her head.
-

Not a chance she’d go for this.

Nyx: “Adam, you can’t go out with me this time…” (she’s gonna be punny right till the end)
Wolfe's answers
-
What’s your MC’s social media presence like? If they have any.
Some. She’d be on facebook, if for no other reason than to post things to piss others off.
-
If they could see any one band/artist in concert – living or dead – who would they choose to see?
Enrique Iglesias, and it has little to do with his music…
-
How would they respond to being approached by/coming across an obviously lost child?
Wolfe squatted down so she’d be eye level to the child and flashed a warm smile. “Hi, I’m Officer Alexa Wolfe. Can you tell me your name and where you last saw your parents?”
-
Describe their body type.
Short (5’3”) and muscular. Not an extreme bodybuilder look, but clearly muscled and strong.
-
Are they persnickety about grammar/spelling?
As long as people sound literate, she doesn’t really care.
-
What were they wearing when they got snatched by Murphy?
Black cargo pants and a white-ribbed tank top
-
If, shortly after meeting UB, you were to tell your MC that they’ll eventually end up with their RO, how would they respond? Would that response change if you told them that just after the end of Book 1?
Wolfe cleared her throat. “Okay. If you say so…” (both before and after)
-
Is your MC superstitious in any way? Nope.
-
Extra silly question!: what would your MC/RO’s ship name be? (Lmao, number 13. Is a cursed question!)
Alate (her first name is Alexa + Nate)
- How would they handle seeing a spider or cockroach in their room?
She’d hide in another room for a short while, pacing and wishing she had a roommate who could take care of these things for her and wondering if she could shoot it without attracting too much attention. After a while, she’d return to the room and attempt to deal with it, likely with something with a long handle so she can be as far away from it as possible.
- If your MC was to temporarily lose their voice but still had to interact with other people, how would they go about communicating?
Texting. If whoever she’s talking to doesn’t have a phone, she’d type on a computer and show them.
- Do they prefer the heat or the cold? Any particular reason why?
Cold. She’s hot-natured as hell.
- After everything goes down with Murphy, your MC comes to in their own bed. They go to check their phone only to find that it’s the morning of the Janet Greenland murder scene. And they remember everything. What do they do?
She’d call Nate, tell him to put her on speakerphone to the whole team, and tell them everything. When Adam told her she was insane (and Mason laughed at her), she’d copy Dezh’s actions. Though, she’d probably bring a stake and kill the SOB and bring UB Murphy’s ashes when she was done.
- How would they answer this age old question: “how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?”
“Those things are gross.”
- How would they react to discovering that they’re the hot new meme of the moment?
She’d roll her eyes and ignore it.
-

Muscle.

No, she wouldn’t go along with this.

- Your MC is about to go out like the badass action hero they definitely are. What would they want their final words to be?
“I’ll see you in hell, fucker.”

Air Supply (the girl loves love songs… she’s such a dork).
- How would they respond to being approached by/coming across an obviously lost child?
Jax, the most open of all of my MCs and she’d have no clue what to do: “Umm…” Jax looked around uncertainly, wishing Tina were near. Well, she supposed she’d have to deal with it. “Are you lost???”

Shortly after meeting UB: giggles
If it was after the end of Book 1: “Yeah, I can see that.” Jax grinned and went to find Felix to see if he’ll buy it.
- What are they like to shop with?
If you love shopping, and like spending hours on end walking through stores, she’s great. If you like to get what you need, then leave, she’s your worst nightmare.

Made-up sign language that no one but Felix would understand.

Cold, because getting warm when you’re cold feels so bloody awesome.
-
After everything goes down with Murphy, your MC comes to in their own bed. They go to check their phone only to find that it’s the morning of the Janet Greenland murder scene. And they remember everything. What do they do?
