Lets break the 4th wall
Say you were given the opportunity to hang out with your character for exactly 24-hours in real life
What would you two do in 24-hours?
-
Hide
-
Visit the beach.
-
:o
Only 24 hours?
Well, have her show me the basics of fencing and horseback riding. Debating philosophy and theology while doing that. Don't think we'd get much sleep. :)

I know what me and Gottii would do. Tackle Ghost(s), restrain them, take them to a Trek con, say "hey look, Borg!", stand back and watch...
-
Food then drinks then sex. Afterwards, we'd go to a concert and discuss spiritual philosophy.
Lastly, I'd have her rob a casino and give me a million or so in cash before she vanished from this world completely.
-
Borrow money.
-
Break reality utterly and completely.
-
Hmm... I'm not sure I'd actually like to hang out with any of them. They're fun to watch and play with... but they all tend to resemble me in some way with certain flaws exaggerated. I'd probably get annoyed and tell them to grow up.
-
We'd likely advise each other spiritually for awhile, then get drunk and sing into hairbrushes.
-
Some drinking, some philosophical discussion, some calling each other out on our bullshits and hypocrisies, probably a fist fight (which I'd win, because all his attributes are mental and I'm a steel worker).
Then he'd talk me into buying another PLEX so he didn't have to do another plex for a while. And I'd go for it. 'Cause I'd be drunk.
-
It'd have to be Maris. I'd be most likely to survive that one (but I would increase my medical insurance coverage). I'd introduce her to hard apple cider, Saturday night Disco Bowling and drunkenly commiserate on how hard it is to love everyone and want to do the best for humanity when one just ... kinda hates people. Not all people, sure, but stupid people, definitely.
-
I know what I wouldn't try to do. Drinking game.
-
Run. She'd either hate me, kill me, or much worse.
-
Not sure. I'd probably try to talk him out of slavery or something like it, but I guess we wouldn't get along too well.
-
Without a doubt I would spend my time beating the guy senseless, or trying at the very least.
The way that SOB works at this point is detrimental to my enjoyment of this game, and THAT statement stems from the horrible epiphany I had about a week ago - one major reason I practically don't play EVE anymore is due to the miserable and hopeless situation my toon is in. I'm positive our day would be a horrible ordeal for both.
I had more here but there really is no need to derail an innocent tread with this would-be rant. I hope others get along better with their toons than I would.
-
Shiori is weird and antisocal and doesn't care for baseliners, roundeyes, or people who don't have much to say on the human condition, so we'd just do dinner or something, only to have a context to operate in. With her looking off and desperately wanting to be elsewere.
Iwan'd be a better person to hang with. He'd go "Man, you know what I never have time for anymore, now that I'm the CEO of an interstellar capsuleer corporation? Bowling." And I'd be "Fuck it, dude, let's go bowling." Beers will be had, and pins brutally struck down in the prime of their youth.

Key thing to remember is that you're not the only one who can have epiphanies.

Somewhat confused here. What do you mean?
-
Mm. I tend to follow the idea that if if it's boring and constraining for me to play, think about what it'd be like to have to live through that shit. Leopards do change their spots.
-

I think the notion is that if you want the character to change, then inflict some life-changing stuff on the character. Ask for help from others if that would make more sense.

This.
Aria's had enough epiphanies to fill a freighter. The fact that at least two thirds of them were horribly wrong-headed just makes it more fun.
Also, I would not be wanting to spend any period of time with my character. While she's presently trying to get back into the more pleasant parts of her spirituality, there's always the risk that she'll have an epiphany and change her mind. Considering her present physical capabilities, I'd rather not be standing nearby when that happens.
-
This will be my only reply on this so I won't seriously derail the tread's purpose. (Anymore.)
Thing is, BB is exactly where *he* wants to be. Technically where I want him too. However his chosen life is hard, getting harder. By choosing not to forgive anyone for anything they do that he considers to be unforgivable, he's cutting of a huge load of people. As far as this game is concerned, people do the things he considers unforgivable on a regular basis and they don't think any long-term consequences are warranted. HE disagrees, and so do I. But down that road lies serious loneliness, capsuleer-wise. Eventually there will be thousands of enemies and only a few people that might be friendly, bar those few who end in the 'neutral' ground in between, and he's not dealing with those either. Hell at this point there is a guy in his current corp that, IC-wise he despises, but I can't very well treat that guy like shit OOC, can I?
Anyhow, I'll elaborate on the "issue" at hand here if I ever get around to finishing the IC biography, given my interest levels this may never happen, but I'll bring the issue up for discussion then. Until then, carry on, and sorry for the slight derail o7
(And thanks for the replies, somewhat enlightening.)

Play Magic: The Gathering together for hours, and then conspire to radically alter the future for our own benefit.
[spoiler]>_>
<_<
... and at some point we'd probably, you know, do it.[/spoiler]
-
I suspect I'd spent a good amount of that day convincing her not to kill me, or otherwise break any RL laws.
-
probably a fist fight
Food then drinks then sex. Afterwards, we'd go to a concert and discuss spiritual philosophy.
Reminds me of a thing I read, where it was a survey of people, asked the question about "If you met an exact double of yourself, would you prefer to fight or have sex with them?". Women tended to vote for sex, Men tended to vote for fighting. Something like, women tend to think "They'd know exactly what we like, it'd be awesome!", men tending to think "They'd know the rules, and we'd be evenly matched, it'd be awesome!". Or something. Was a bit weird.
Anyway, I don't know that myself and I would have much in common at all. Louella is, after all, a highly religious upper-class person, while I am neither of those. We might go shopping or some such, or go to teh beach, but I think we'd tend to confuse/annoy each other a bit.
-
Gotta admit, I'd be pretty damn shy around Kat. At least until the first pun hits...
(http://i.imgur.com/KhSjy2H.png)
Our puns shall blot out the sun!
-
Well, ummm, Lasa is basically me, minus the knife fighting so we would probably go dancing and talk about stuffs.

Having sex and having a fight isn't that different in many respects.
-
Depends on how you fight.
-
Honestly, if I met a double of myself, we'd probably just stare at each other awkwardly for a while, then get wrapped up in geek talk. Unless 'fighting' includes some form of PvP, neither of the offered options would appeal. :P
On-topic...
Mortis would get terribly bored and go do his own thing. Which is a shame, I'd love to learn some tricks from the guy ¬¬ Elysa... would have very little time for me, being a girl of action.
Reppy...
I'd be mildly terrified for a while, then we'd probably have great fun. Although I suspect I'd be bleeding and achey the next day for a number of reasons.
-
Hrmmm...
Assuming I couldn't convince Esna to lend me a bunch of frigates if I swore to use them to secure world peace...
We'd probably spend the time examining great military battles - the equipment, the battlegrounds, the books on them - from New Eden and Earth; an interest in military history is one of the few things Esna and I share.
Oh, and I'd nab something he'd never notice missing, but I could make epic bank off of.
-
I think if the 4th wall could be breached at all for any length of time...well it'd basically be the equivalent of manifesting your ideas directly upon reality. Between Saede, myself, and the technological knowledge from New Eden, it really wouldn't be a very long path to immortality and godhood at all. And Saede is similar enough to me that we'd get along well.
Yeah, reality wouldn't survive.
-
RPing Karmilla is a form of escapism. I deliberately made the character very different than how I truly am. We don't have much in common, and I live in a rural area with not much to do. I think maybe the only thing that might be done if we spent time together would be a tour of several local vineyards. I know "have a drink" has been a common response, and Karm and I both love a drink. However I think we'd both appreciate a good wine tour.
Maybe start at Barboursville, a vineyard with the ruins of a building Thomas Jefferson built. Karmilla would laugh at how puny and young the American Empire is. We'd then head southwest through Virginia, presumably with a driver. By the time we made it 200 miles and a dozen vineyards later, to my town, we'd be absolutely shitfaced. I don't think we'd get romantically involved, but oddly enough the night this thread was created, my wife had a weird dream about an unwanted threesome...
-
I said it once, I'll say it again; we'd perform the greatest live show ever, and rock Madison Square for 10 hours. Straight.

Goddammit Anslo, do you know how long it will take me to stop singing this ._.
Every damn time I manage to stop, some bastard goes and links it again :oops:
-
Anslo (p): Op success, let's book it.
Anslo (c): TO THE ANS MOBILE!
/me and Anslo jump into their getaway Machariel and fly away while bouncing on hydraulics and chrome nacelle spinners and blasting music. "La la la la la, It's da mutha fuckin' A-N-S-L-O's."
-
In the morning we'd hit the beach or wildlife refuge to bird watch. Then we would probably spend part of the day gardening at my house or the community garden plot, baking and discussing the raising of children (her grown ones and my not so grown ones). Luna's moderate enough that perhaps she'd come to church for evening prayer. After the children go to bed, we'd cut a little loose and have some wine!
-
I would spend a day trying for my life to not get on Safai's bad side.
-
American Empire

Cheap beer and vodka, followed by a visit to the bar for cheap beer and vodka.
Whatever happens in between is bound to be a hoot. Listening to ear-shredding music, loudly debating threats against civil liberties, conspiracy theories, and which Ninja Turtle is the best, with the clear answer being Raphael. He is both cool, AND rude.
-
Oh gods.
Well, see, Makoto really likes the whole idea of 'uplift' and 'paternal duty.'
I'd see if I could convince her to gift me some assets and train me in its use, in the hope of disseminating values and information that would lead to a more productive world. And, coincidentally, make me rich. \o/
In the meantime, tea, philosophical chatter, or after, drinks and dancing.
I think she'd drink more stout than I would, but I could probably educate her on wine...? She'd probably think my apartment was quaint. :x
-
Veik and I would buy tubs of choc chip ice-cream and discuss our feelings to each other.

What is this I don't even... my mind, my ears, my soul! Why have I never come upon this on the interwebs before?!
As for the topic, I dunno. Kor being my only active RP character, he more or less shares many characteristics with me (to more toned up or toned down extremes, of course). We'd just probably plot how to find and kill Heth and the rest of the Provists over a nice cup of tea.

I've much to teach you young one. Follow me, into the rabbit hole...

That would be rather embarrassing.
-
I really don't think I could hang out with my character at all. If my character were real, his spaceships would be real as well. As such, he'd be completely uninterested in meeting his creator, completely aware of his absolute technological supremacy, and already busy pounding the capital cities of Earth into submission with orbital bombardment, demanding ransoms of the finest cocaines and daughters this miserable sogball has to offer. I'd probably be one of the dead written off in the initial assault, considering capsuleers view megaton-scale warheads as bullets for their space guns.

I couldn't resist.
-
Slut.
-
I would probably receive 1+ Explanatory Leaflets.
Maybe go look at Things, such as a natural history museum, or zoo, or other sort of tourist thing. Synthia is probably an ideal companion for visiting art galleries and so on. very patient and so forth.
-
Probably we'd have moments of awkwardness interupted with philosophical discussions, soon accompanied with the drinking of scotch and the smoking of weed.
-
We'd have coffee; then I'd try my best to keep up with the party but I'd fail and go to bed at 10pm. She wouldn't probably call me again. :ugh:
-
Katla and I wouldn't want to hang with each other. I wouldn't even be allowed onboard her ship, and if I somehow found myself there, I'd be ejected quicker than you could say "filthy neck-bearded dirtling".
Ruby would be much friendlier and ten times as scary. I wouldn't hang out with her either, if I could help it at all. I would likely smile, nod and gently shiver a lot, while doing my best to pretend that yes, I do like mustard cake, it's delicious.
-
If Kazuma and myself met in RL, he would probably try to enlighten me. Outside of that, he would probably use me as a instrument to spread the Amarrian religion to this planet.
So, in the end, I think it would end poorly for anyone not willing to convert, since he might use Vitoc on the planet.
-
I wouldn't want to hang out with Art, really. I RP him because he's a lot of things I am not.
