Let's play a creation game, or, please help me be a productive writing thing this year.
I still plan on going back and doing a bunch of old ones, but my recent desire to worldbuild, and specifically character-build, got brought up, and a thing coalesced, so. I'm gonna paste together and bastardize a couple of old memes in the service of character and world development.
Here's the game. I have a set of characters, numbered from 1 to 20. They come from 5 different original worlds and stories that I want to be working on this year. Some of them know each other; some, even from the same world, don't; some of them have been kicking around in my head about a decade, and some of them are sitting on that list with a three-word character description in the hopes I'll have named them by the time I'm done here.
You can:
At some point, when I have a fair few questions, I will either edit this post with the list and start answering questions in the comments, or put up a new one with the list and answers - it largely depends on how many questions I get. (And once that's done, you're free to toss in additional questions, either before looking at the list, or that come up in response to previous answers.)

You can:
- Ask questions about what they're like/what they like. ("What's 4's favorite ice cream flavor", or, "What was 9's family like".)
- Ask questions about their role in the story. ("What is 11's driving motivation".)
- Ask more meta questions about what they're like. ("What House would 19 be in" or "What would 12 think of 8".)
- Propose scenarios and I will describe how they'd go. ("1, 5, and 10 are on a roadtrip together; where are they going and how does it go?" or "16 has to pick someone else on the list to go on a date with; who do they choose?")
- Ask any other question you can come up with.
- Ask multiple questions about one character.
- Ask questions about as many characters as you'd like.
- Ask the same question about different characters.
- Jump in on another thread and ask additional/tangential questions that occur based on what someone else has to ask.
