the QUESTION meme

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

HMMMM. well. there is some slight canon evidence toward delinquency in his teenage years (a.k.a he had a reputation for never losing a fight and the gang leader from the neighboring town kept trying to challenge him to one, and the class president gets on his case for not going to some school function and he's just like eh, i wasn't interested sry), but at the same time he's had tunnel vision for being a Hero since he was ten years old, and Heroes are supposed to be Good Role Models!!! so while I imagine he's probably like, smoked pot a couple times or drunk underage at a party, he's likely always been on the straight and narrow for the most part. Still, at that age, I can't see him really giving much of a fuck if other people got drunk or high underage.

Now that he's older, and a dad, though, he's more or less a walking D.A.R.E. commercial, LMAO. Don't do drugs, kids, it's bad for you!!! As far as adults doing drugs...well, he'd disapprove, probably, but it's also something he'd mostly consider not his business, unless they were about to do something stupid and dangerous like get behind the wheel while intoxicated, or they got like, violent and aggressive. :T Oooooor if they had a kid in their care, he would frown so heavily on being intoxicated in a child's presence.

If Jesse could go back in time and change any one of his past decisions, which would he choose?

Jesse's mistakes are so numerous, from his current perspective, that if he was given the opportunity to go back in time, he only has one choice: he has to kill his younger self. He knows himself. No amount of warning would be enough. His past self would end up doing something selfish or trying to be clever and only make things worse. He doesn't trust himself at all to actually make the changes that would have to be made. So the only guarantee is ending his life altogether. And as far as future-Jesse's concerned, no one would miss him anyway. His life isn't worth the hundreds of lives lost because of him.

That said, I previously had Jesse in Exsilium, which was a time travel game, and this is how it ended for him at a different canon point, after he'd already become aware he wasn't to blame for near as much as he thought.

What would Kotetsu do if he could change the past?

oh man i remember reading that back around the time you first joined MoM. so many feelings....

WELL if Kotetsu had to go back and tell his younger self to do something different, he probably wouldn't really listen either >_> Imo Kotetsu sort of needed his life to spiral downhill a bit to get the wake-up call necessary to make things better with his kid.

But if he got like, literally rewinded to an earlier point but still had all of his memories, he'd probably insist on sticking by Tomoe's side at the hospital that day she died instead of going to work like she asked. Aaaand he'd probably try to tell Kaede the truth about his identity a lot sooner. :|a Probably spend a lot of time agonizing over what to do about Maverick, because how do you even tell someone their father-figure killed their actual parents and lied about it for twenty years while screwing with his memories....

What would Jesse do if his parents and little brother showed up in game?

Jesse AGGRESSIVELY DOESN'T CARE about his parents so he would aggressively ignore them. By which I mean, even if they were standing right in front of him at a swearing-in, he would look just slightly to the left of them and pretend he doesn't see them. Look at how much he doesn't need you, mom and dad. Look how good he's doing all on his own. He doesn't look like a drug addict, does he? DOES HE? HE LOOKS SUCCESSFUL AND BELOVED, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE IS, AND HE NEVER NEEDED YOU, AND FUCK YOU, MOM AND DAD.

- That said, if they were ever really in trouble, you know he'd be there in a heartbeat. Maybe to be a little smug about it, but also because he would flip the fuck out if anything actually happened to them. They're his family, even if they've exiled him.

Jake is a whole different story. Here's a situation where Jesse, for once, knows what's better for Jake than his parents do. So he'd persuade Jake to not register and to come live at the Xavier School with him (because while he's genre-savvy, it hasn't blown up yet, so he trusts it more than government housing). And he'd mostly let Jake do his own thing but keep an eye on him like a good big brother. BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD BIG BROTHER, MOM AND DAD, AND FUCK YOU.

Also Jesse would regress to being a teenager emotionally while projecting an image of maturity whenever his parents were looking. Because. He has some raw feelings. And god does he love rubbing their faces in his illegitimately-obtained but self-made riches. You thought he was just a loser but now he's a RICH loser, and FUCK YOU, MOM AND DAD.

Makes it rain and walks away backwards with both middle fingers raised.

What if Kaede was here and she fell in with the wrong crowd?
