Munday: When Plot Comes to Shove

1. If you had to kill off one of your characters in your story or rp RIGHT NOW, which would you choose? Why?
Right at this point in the plot?! Dude, I just did this... um.  But comparatively soon I'm going to have Cole kill, with Prue's crucial assistance, the head of his fraternal association.  Why? Cole has always resented this demon, someone who has never failed to remind him he is seen as lesser, but now that Delic is a threat to the Source's plot, oh, it's time.  This move also will clear the way for Cole to make a successful bid for leadership of the organization, a stronger position from which to out-maneuver the Seer.

2. If you had to make up a new character on the spot - who / what would you create? Why?
I'd begin developing the photo editor who will be Prue's, er, Linda Bowen's boss at the Chronicle.  Woman, mid-forties,  no nonsense but with a flair for the dramatic. Keeps her (obviously well-founded) suspicions about my muse to herself, because Prue is still as diligent as ever, and the new eye her morality gives to her work, well, it can fit a certain aesthetic. 

3. If you had to pick up a new character from someone else's canon to rp / write fic for, who would you pick? Why?
Irina Derevko, from Alias. Because more basically than "she lived a decade-long charade for a greater purpose yet had humanity-bleed-through", the appeal of Irina is that at any given moment, you can have your best, most thoughtfully extrapolated reasoning about her motivation, and then discover five minutes later you were 75% flat wrong, and then you start third guessing the remaining 25%.

I have a thing for strong complex women with layered motivation.


4. If you had to revive one of your old characters for a story or rp, who would you choose? Why?
N/A

5. If you had to give one of your characters a happily ever after ending, who would you choose? Why?
Within the context of my story, Piper  will get the ending that is closest to purely sweet, and lightest on the bitter.  Why? She's the heart of the family -- with the purest, most enduring love in canon. At the end of the day, she, who values family even above normalcy, will have her family not completely whole, but as close as she's understood it for the majority of her life. Her big sister back, and some dearly needed truth laid out between them. And her son will be happy and healthy and good.  And all that will give her the strength to endure the huge loss that's coming.  And this one will stick.

6. If you had to give one of your characters an unhappy ending, who would you choose? Why?
Had to? Well, I'm going to kill one of them (a major one, a sister), and that's unhappy. Some of it is simply magical arithmetic taken to a "one cannot live while the other survives" place. But also, I want to preserve the "this is the ultimate innocent death" idea that canon ...raised, And do further cosmic injury to my muse, whose articulated reason for staying alive in the Underworld was keeping this sister from harm.
