Do you think your characters would like you? Do you have any you think would be your best friends? Would you annoy some of them or vice versa?

Hmmm. Ereinne, as bubbly and bright as she is, would be my friend, heh. She might be mad at me for some of the things I've done to her, but she'd still want to be my friend.
I think the rest wouldn't want anything to do with me.

@shim Why is that? (About the rest not wanting to have anything to do with you.)

@Julianne Well. Tiri just doesn't like people. Raethl would probably be angry at me for all of the things I've put him through. His mother got murdered and his littlest sister got kidnapped. Iaelie is too busy to "have friends", or so she thinks. (She's basically a workaholic, heh, and takes her warrior training very seriously.) Hmm. Actually if I gave Cimizelle something in pink, she probably would be fine with me. Putting her in the same room as Ereinne is fun, though, because the two of them have so much energy, I'd look like a statue in comparison.

I have a lot of characters, so I'll just focus on the characters in the story I'm working on. I like to think Gallovyri would ask me about the culture of the "ancient ones" (AKA the present day, as the story she's in takes place in the future), as she's rather curious and is always chasing after knowledge, as would her mother Zenyada. Her biological father Zelfos? He'd call for a conquest of my home town, or at least my apartment, because he doesn't like peace and happiness. I have more in the story, but I don't wanna make this post longer than it already is, haha.

I think I would like to hang on with Rose as she is the kind of person that I like (she's a bubbly, creative artist) but all of my other characters are too complicated to be likeable hahahaha

Yes they would love me! I would probably join the room mates an live with them. And honestly I would be so happy. They are my people, except Jonah but who knows.

I don't really know. Inkyÿ, Lizzy, Olaf, and Milo are pretty shy so it may take some time for me to break the ice with them. I'm pretty optimistic and adventurious, so shy people probably think I'm scary. I'm VERY weird so Sam, Sarah, Lexi and Plucky would love me. We would be immediate pals. Tom is depressed and shy, so I'd have to try really hard for him to even talk to me. If I play soccer with Matt and Brook, we would be friends for life. Blue is nuts, but we might get a long. Inkyÿ's three ghost buddies might like me as long as I say nothing mean about Inkyÿ. Now that I think about is Tom might try to kill me for killing off his wife and two year old daughter…..and cursing him to live forever alone with no one to ever love him. Ivy will be my best friend if I give her anything Penguin related. I don't think I have anymore.

Cody would be my my friend for sure and Mimi is all about being friends with e v e r y o n e. I'd really want to be friends with Romeo, as she's the cool character that if I had to describe her, as the popular but smart and really mysterious high school chick. But she's amazing and motherly. Laurence, the friendship would be interesting. But we'd get along with our sarcasm. Jinsoo takes forever to warm up to anybody, so who knows.

I’m awkwardly laughing because I know that if my characters knew that their pain came from me, they would hate me. THOUGH if they didn’t, Jessie, Charlie and I could be friends. We’d be the group that does random things and 2:00 in the morning. Einar, though, would be harder. He’s so anxious, especially around new people. I probably couldn’t handle all of his instantly made decisions and low impulse control in certain situations. Alexi is like the little ball of fluff wrapped tightly with anger and regret. She’s great, I know. Honestly, I have no idea what would happen between the two of us. She’d probably come off as mean.

Aster wouldn't know that I existed. I believe that Erwyna would be friends with me, even though I'd always come second to Will, but we would be really close(we're a lot alike, but not too alike). Maia would be my friend if I gave her long enough, she could teach me how to use daggers and make poisons and I could teach her how to live without the support of an organization. Aniij would be wary but might warm up to me if I did something really supportive or kind, then he would be loyal to me until the end.

well, Fuyuki is a misunderstood person, he seems snobby and an arrogant person but inside he is very friendly and kind and loves to take good care of old people and babies. he will probably be my brother from another mother, and I'm there to sympathize with him for his actions even though he is older than me.

If my characters were real I think I would run like hell. The only characters I would get along with is Yui and James. We are so much alike. Yui is wants to grow up and he doesn’t to be young forever(he is 14 year old vampire). He is very funny and childish. I am very funny and I would hate be stuck young forever. James acts very unemotional because he doesn’t want people to know that inside he is just sad and alone. The other characters are nothing like me. Except the girl, she is a scaredy-cat like me. Kyoko, the girl, is scared of everything, yet when people are nice to her even if she fears them she can’t help it. She justs want to give them a hug! Okishimo and Zachariah are different. They try to act normal. They think if they act like everyone else they’ll be excepted. It is a lie though. In my story they are vampires, and vampires are freaks. Okishimo and Zachariah are the nicest vampires though. They’ve only had the taste of human blood once. Then after that they started drinking animal blood. Okishimo and Zachariah hate when people don’t act normal. I am always called different. Their definition of normal is being a happy family, going to school, not drinking blood for dinner. I don’t drink blood for dinner, but they are freaks. Even Kyoko is a freak. She was always bullied for being different. No guys would ever ask her out. She was never invited to parties. She was alone with no friends. Then suddenly she was knocked out. She wakes up in a box. The four brothers are her friends, yet they do so many mean things to her. My friends are the exact same way. So in a way I’m kind of like my characters. Except their all hot and beautiful.

If they didn't know I was at fault for all of their struggles and tragedy, I could get along pretty well with most of them. We'd be friendly acquaintances at least…I'm not sure about friends though. To most, if not all, I would always come second, third, fourth, or some other number, their loyalties already firmly ingrained to other characters of mine.

The other ones would very likely overlook me as unimportant and beneath their notice. Again all of this is if they didn't know I was at fault for all of their misery…If they did, I would be painfully dead.

Kalvin would probably hang out with me and we would play prank wars together with Smiley. Izzy would yell at me about my fashion choices. Albert and Cat would yell at me for not being focused on homework right now. Peter would yell at me about safety hazards and TIE YOUR SHOELACES!

Well, Bear would definitely hate me, since I killed him. Oops. If he wasn't dead, I would hope that he would like me, since he's one of my favorite characters. Pretending that I didn't kill one of their best friends, this is a tough one. I think Ren would be pretty indifferent, at least for a while. Annalise would try to be my friend and probably force Ren to tolerate me. Amara would definitely be my friend because I based her character off of me. Cole probably wouldn't like me because I have made his life pretty rough, and he doesn't like very many people anyway, but I am the same way, so maybe he would like me more than I think he would. But considering I killed Bear, I assume that I would be hated by all of them.

I like to think out-of-story there's a version of me where I get to hang out with my characters {totally not weird at all} who know of me as the creator and sort of see me and go, "Oh hey, there's xxx", like we're friends or acquaintances and they just happen to accept that I'm the reason their lives are shit. xD But if I landed in my characters' universe in-story, where everyone didn't know me but learned that I was somehow responsible for all the bad things that happened in their life, um. I don't think they'd be very happy about my existence… but I can see a few who might not believe it and would befriend me anyway. Or just.. ignore me entirely. Either way, I'd have a few owies.

I like that for a lot of us, our characters would probably club us to death if they met us haha.

I think I’d scare my characters! In a bit of a self-indulgent way, I look similar, though not the same, to one of the very minor villains. And even though other characters pose more dangerous threats, Eme doesn’t mess around, and I think Jo in particular would be shocked to see her multiplied!

One of the themes in my story is why you don't try to play God, so if my characters ever met me they'd probably find it a bit ironic that I supposedly "created" them and controlled their entire lives even though I just did that whole story.. So. Some of my characters are based off my siblings or friends, so I'd probably get along with those characters. It's hard to tell though, because there are 52 of them, so the probability of all of them liking me is slim.

If we just were friends, 2 of them would,but not the rest.
If they knew I was the creator, they'd despise me till I'm dead.

I feel like a lot of my characters would hate me because they hate themselves often and I make them have some of my qualities.

Piper would pry be friends with me. So would Angel and Juliet, Cecily, Will, and James. Cecily would pry get annoyed with me a lot and I'd pry get annoyed with Will and Juliet a lot.
Camari, Julian, Jayden, Alissa, Octavia, Luna, and Alton would pry all be in jail though so I pry wouldn't be friends with them.

If my characters were real, that would mean freakin' DRAGONS were real, and that would just be super cool! Other than that, my characters are based on myself and the people around me, so I hope we would get along.

This is definitely something that I don’t think about all the time…

Gerard- I think he’d be easy enough to get along with, but maybe not someone i’d want to spend a lot of time with since he’s kind of emotional and I have no idea how handle that? Even though I created him? He’d also have some serious questions if he found out I created him.

Crispin- I think there’s a small chance we could get along as long as he doesn’t know I created him. He’s not someone i’d want to meet though, he’s too mean and i’m too sensitive.

Kit- I think I could be friends with Kit, he’s pretty chill most times. I think there’s a chance we might run each other the wrong way but we’d both be too oblivious to realize it.

Caleb- We’d get along, but we’re both too introverted to hold a conversation longer than 2 minutes.

Dallas- I think out of all my characters he’s probably the most similar to me so I think we would get along for the most part.

Ara- I love Ara so much as a character but I know that if he were a real person he would drive me up the wall because he’s so bossy and condescending. He’d probably just sit there judging me and there’s nothing I can do to stop him.

Andor- I feel like we could get along for a little bit but we kind of have clashing personalities so I feel like we’d start to rub each other the wrong way after a while.

Garzlan- Honestly I think it would be literally impossible to not be friends with him. Not to mention I really need someone like Garzlan in my life. He’d be awesome to have around.

Milo- I think at the very least I could tolerate him. He’s kind of manipulative and I’m someone who doesn’t know how to stand up to people so he’s not someone I’d want to be close with.

Solque- Sol is also pretty easy to get along with and I think we could be friends. I think he’d be fun to hang around with.

Jaire- i’ve been so mean to this poor child I don’t think i’d be able to be in the same room as him without feeling guilty. If he were real I think i’d just have to give him a hug and move on.

Allison is a sweetheart, but she likes very few people. She might be fun to hang around with because she deals with teenage angst and that rebellion phase, and that stuff doesn't interest me, so we'd cancel one another out. She'd want to steal something from someone, and I'd probably not be cool with that so we'd compromise on a bag of chips or something small.
