Voted Most Likely Tag!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

I've been so excited for this post. I was tagged by the lovely Victoria @ Wanderer's Pen for the Voted Most Likely tag. (Thank you, Victoria!) These questions were so great and I'm so excited to share my answers with you!

NOTE: I haven't talked about all these stories on the blog (in fact, I'm pretty sure I've only talked about Roots to Claim), so you're not going to know anything about most of these people. Hopefully someday I'll share more about each of these stories and characters, and you can get to know them a little deeper! For now, though, a quick description of each of the stories I mention:

Children of Matorelli// Narnia-esque fantasy
The Unchosen Ones// sci-fi trilogy
Fall Into Time// sci fi/fantasy with time travel
I need you guys to note and appreciate the fact that while I was writing about Fall Into Time, "Clock Don't Stop" by Carrie Underwood started playing and WHOA how fitting.
Roots to Claim// literally just read this and this and
this

OKAY now that's done. Onto the tag!


THE RULES

Rule One: Thank the lovely blogger who tagged you. You know you want to.
Rule Two: Include this lovely link in your post.
Rule Three: Use your own lovely Original Characters (OC’s); don’t use a friend’s characters or characters from your favorite fandom. They can be from any project, so long as you created them. For more fun, try to use as many different characters as possible.
Rule Four: Tag at least five lovely blogger friends to play along.

1.) Most Likely to Be a Poet

Oh, this is definitely, definitely Quinard from Roots to Claim. He writes dark, depressing songs, so I think he'd slide into the role of poet real well.

2.) Most Likely to Dance in the Rain

Hmm... I have several that could fit this, but I'll say Adrian from The Unchosen Ones. She's a really positive, happy person and sees beauty in everything so I think dancing in the rain would be really fitting to her character.


3.) Most Likely to Look Good in a Kilt
Wow, what a thing to think about. Well, I have a Scottish villain in The Unchosen Ones, so I guess it would be him. xD He doesn't have a name at the moment, though...

4.) Most Likely to Get Punched in the Face

Ha. Well, more than one of my characters, probably. But for now I'll go with Ray from Children of Matorelli. He throws himself into whatever fights he and his friends get into, so he'd be probably be pretty likely to get punched in the face first by the enemy.


5.) Most Likely to Drop Everything and Become a Sheep Herder

Wow, that is an... interesting question. The first person I thought of was Rashid from The Unchosen Ones because he's Middle Eastern. xD I'm going to have to leave it at that because I really can't see any of my other characters herding sheep??

6.) Most Likely to Be Found in the Library

Ooh, this is a tough one. I actually don't have many characters who are big readers (shocker, I know!), at least that I've thought about. I'm going to say Sophie from Fall Into Time because she's just trying to graduate college, so she's probably doing a lot of studying. xD


7.) Most Likely to Sleep Through an Earthquake
I'll have to say Archlan from Roots to Claim on this one, because half the time he's causing extreme weather conditions and it's usually in the middle of the night, so he's used to it.

8.) Most Likely to Steal Food from Other Peoples’ Plates

Georgie from Children of Matorelli would probably do this, but only with her friends.

9.) Most Likely to Cheat on a Test
This would have to be Greg from Children of Matorelli. He's not the most responsible guy around.

10.) Most Likely to Say “Oops” After Setting Something on Fire

Oh, Asher from Fall Into Time, for sure. He's charmingly clumsy and awkward and... yeah, I can toootally see him doing this. xD

Asher doesn't wear leather, though...

11.) Most Likely to Open an Orphanage
Alyson from Children of Matorelli is very compassionate and motherly, so she would probably do fantastic in an orphanage.

12.) Most Likely to Run off with the Circus
Arin from Children of Matorelli. Not because he's a good juggler or anything. But his rich, important family expects him to adhere to a certain set of standards, and almost as an act of defiance, he sort of lives on the road half the time with his oddball-looking horse and dog. He might fit in with the misfits pretty well. He'd probably be the animal handler or something.

13.) Most Likely to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
Oh man, this would be Childin from Children of Matorelli. She's been on her own since she was a young teenager, and she knows how to fight and defend herself. She could definitely hold her own against a zombie mob.


14.) Most Likely to Fake Their Own Death

Probably Daiyu from The Unchosen Ones. She doesn't have a very bright outlook on life (because her life's been kind of awful) and lives pretty secluded anyway, so she might be inclined to pretend she was dead just so that nobody would bother her.

15.) Most Likely to Die and Haunt Their Friends
Oh man, this is a tough one. (Also kind of hysterical.) Maybe Kennet from Roots to Claim. He's a prophet who basically just sits around basking in magic all the time, so most people think he's crazy. Therefore, he would be the perfect person to haunt people.


Yay , that was so much fun! Answering random questions like that about your characters really makes you think about each of them as a person. (And makes you realize how little you know them, in some cases!)

All right, time for the tagging... (If any of you have already been tagged for this [and I'm sure some of you have], well, you've now been double-tagged. xD)

Have you done this tag? What's your favorite way of getting to know your characters? Which one of these characters would you most enjoy learning more about?

  1. Thanks for the tag! I . . . think I’ve done it before??? I honestly can’t remember exactly. All the tags kind of blur together. XD

    But seriously Asher sounds AMAZING. Anyone who says “whoops” after setting fire to something is the kind of person I want to hang around with. ;)
