Guess the character

[vilakins]

A fun meme from astrogirl2 and others.

I've made a list of 5 characters and assigned them all numbers. Ask me questions about them ("Is 3 human?" "Who's smarter, 4 or 5?" "What would 2 do if they discovered buried treasure?") and I'll answer. Your mission is to discover which character is which. I've done two versions, one easier (all Blake's 7 characters) and the other harder (anything goes).

Five Blake's 7 characters
1. Kerril
2. Zen
3. Anna Grant
4. Jarriere
5. Travis

Five characters from different fandoms
a. Hurley
b. Seven of Nine
c. Vir Cotto
d. Furlow
e. Garak

{Edit:] All guessed now; thanks to those who played. :-)

OK...

What's 1's hairstyle?
Did 2 kill any of the other people on the list? If so, who?
If a ran for president, what would the campaign platform be?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Shoulder-length and either tied back or out.
No.

Lots of welfare and food for all, and an end to all bigotry including that based on appearance.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Didn't kill anybody hmm? Is 2 Gan? :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

No. And perhaps I should point out that wasn't exactly your question. :-)

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I know. :)

Let's see...

For #1, I'm not sure who wears their hair like that... Jenna?

Was #2 one of the prisoners bound for Cygnus Alpha?

What does a like to eat?

And if a and b got into a fistfight, who would win?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

No.
No.
I have no idea (we don't see them eat in canon) but I'd guess steak and salad.
Neither because it couldn't happen.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Neither because it couldn't happen.

Is that because one of them doesn't have fists?

What is 1's main ambition in life?

What's 2's best skill?

And what would happen if 3 and 4 got stuck together in an elevator?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's right.

To seek out new worlds.

Being cryptic and efficient.

3 would ignore 4 and 4 would probably chat to 3 inconsequentially.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Is b some sort of artificial intelligence?

Speaking of AIs... Is 2 Zen?

Is 4 Vila?

And did 1 find any new worlds?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yes!

No.

Yes.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure which answers go with which questions there... :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oh, shit. I got confused with numbers and letters. Correct answers below.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I answered below, but I've moved it here so you get notified. :-P

Correct answers where I get the number separated from the letters. D'oh. All other questions are OK, but I'll include them too.

For #1, I'm not sure who wears their hair like that... Jenna? No.
Was #2 one of the prisoners bound for Cygnus Alpha? No.
What does a like to eat? Pretty much anything regarded as food!
And if a and b got into a fistfight, who would win? B, definitely.

What is 1's main ambition in life? To seek out new worlds.
What's 2's best skill? Being cryptic and efficient.
And what would happen if 3 and 4 got stuck together in an elevator? 3 would ignore 4 and 4 would probably chat to 3 inconsequentially.

Hmm. Is b some sort of artificial intelligence? Not now.
Speaking of AIs... Is 2 Zen? Yes!
Is 4 Vila? No
And did 1 find any new worlds? Yes.

Sorry about that. [is ashamed, but is trying to cook dinner as well]

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

That's OK... But now I must ponder, I think. And possibly sleep at some point. :)

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Oh, but 1 isn't Kerril, is it?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Off to bed now, so don't expect any answers for about 8 hours.

[kerravonsen]

If c, d and e had a meal, what would they eat, and who would make it?

What is b best at?

If a and 5 had to work together to save the world, would we be doomed?

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'm going to guess... Is 4 Tarrant?

And since you said "not now," has b been an artificial intelligence at some time in the past?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine any of them doing much cooking, but I'd say c would make the meal. C would eat spoo and object strongly to roast duck; d would probably eat anything and everything, spiced with the machine oil on their fingers; e would be polite enough to eat what they're served, eat sparingly out of caution, and be complimentary without being effusive.

B is best at technical tasks, astronomy and navigation, and looking good while obviously not giving a damn.

Possibly; a certainly would be. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

No.

B was part of one.

[kerravonsen]

Is b Seven of Nine?

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing C is Vir. And d might be Kaylee?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yes! :-D
