From the awesomesauce OutoftheOrange, who wrote it JUST FOR US AREN'T WE SPESHUL.

1. Only you can save the world! Why the hell is that; what is your SUPAH POWAH. (Give yourself a snazzy moniker, while you're at it.)

My "supah powah" is super telekinesis, the kind that you can levitate stuff AND your own body in flight. I have ALWAYS, always, always wanted to fly. Not that other superpowers wouldn't be awesome - really, shapeshifting, invisibility, laser beams, there are good options. But telekinesis would be the best. I could arm myself with a bag of razor blades and bullets and go flying around shooting them at villains. My Snazzy Moniker (tm) would be Echo, methinks, and I have no idea why. It just sounds cool to me.

2. No hero's journey is complete without the presence of an awesome sidekick! Are they only awesome in that their loser-ness highlights your awesomeness? Whatever the case may be, describe him/her/it to me.

My sidekick would be wicked awesome, because they'd have to be saving my life whenever I'm captured by evil villains. You know the drill. They'd be the sort of technogeek, building gadgets that can make things go boom in just the right square inch weak spot of the enemy's armor. THAT guy. And kind of socially awkward, but we'd get along.

3. I lied; you're actually not that awesome. With that in mind, why DOES your sidekick follow you around like that?

Probably because we both have the same delusional, suicidal need to Fix Things, even when it apparently lands us both dangling over vats of acid.

4. Obviously, no self-respecting villain is going to let you have your heroic way in all this saving-the-world crap. Name and describe the dastardly fiend who leaps forward to stop you!

The Swarm, an evil mastermind with the power to copy himself into entire armies to carry out his plans.

5. And what, exactly, is the villain's evil, evil goal?

World domination, of course! Fueled by a deep and abiding need to see the world pay for their mockery of his obsession with argyle at a young age.

6. A hero is not a hero without a love interest. Describe the role your Significant Other (imaginary or real) would play in your world-saving escapades...if they're even aware of them, that is.

My love interest is a young man who works in one of the skyrise businesses that The Swarm uses as a front. Of course, he has no idea what part he plays in the Epic Battle of Good and Evil, and just does his cubicle work. He watches the news for info on Echo and The Swarm, but never connects me to Echo. He has an unfortunately large nose.

7. You have a magical weapon, bequeathed to you by the gods/the government/your parents/a rock out of which ONLY YOU could extract said weapon. What is it, what is its Snazzy Moniker, and what makes it so special?

My weapon is a large circular bladed boomerang, which I can control the trajectory of through my telekinesis. Its Snazzy Moniker is Wheel of Fate, and it's so fantastically special because it never cuts me when I hold or throw it, despite holding onto the blade.

8. Every quest to save the world involves some sort of mystical glowy object of some sort. Both you and the villain need it in order to ultimately fulfill your respective goals, whatever they may be. What's the Mystical Object called, what is its function (does it grant wishes? Immortality?, Unlimited power?), and how can it be obtained?

The Mystical Object is a well of sludgy black water whose location has yet to be determined by either of us. It is rumored to give powers of ultimate mindreading, which would be a terrible weapon in the hands of The Swarm.

9. IT'S THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY. The final battle. It's just you and the villain now! How does it go?

GOOD GUYS, BAD GUYS, AND EXPLOSIONS, AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.

Indeed, there are explosions. As you can imagine, facing a villain whose power is multiplication, it involves me being attacked by thousands of clone Swarms. THE STREETS WILL RUN WITH BLOOD.

10. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SAVED HYRULE AND YOU ARE A REAL HERO. How do you wrap up your epic adventure?

I go and snag my cubicle worker for an epic flight around the city, of course!

From QuietOnes.

10. Ian

•Four invites Three and Eight to dinner at their house.

Libby invites Tamora and Alaric to dinner. Tam would be rather miffed that Libby is serving a vegetarian meal. Libby would be completely oblivious to Alaric's cat burglaring career, but Tam would be suspicious and subtly try to question him over the soup. Libby would think it was all going spectacularly well until Alaric insulted Tam's heels in an attempt to distract and Tam gave him a right hook.

•Nine tries to get Five to a strip club.

Aldan tries to get Switch to a strip club. Well, first of all, that would NEVER happen. But if, for some strange motivation, he did, Switch would think he was a creepy pedophile and leave very, very quickly.

•You need to stay at a friend’s house for a night. Who do you choose, One or Six?

Shane or Geoff? Hard choice. Geoff's a total sweetheart who would give me tea and talk to me about literature. But Shane would have time travel and space travel and crazy almost-alien parents and okay, no choice at all. Shane!

•Two and Seven are making out. Ten walks in.

Xhosa and Eddie are making out, which is as far as Eddie will let her go before putting a ring on her finger and making her an Honest Woman. Ian walks in, laughs, holds up his hands, and promises he saw nothing. He walks out, leaving Eddie bright red and absolutely mortified. Xhosa smirks and slides her arms back around Eddie's neck.

•Three falls in love with Six. Eight is jealous.

Tam falls in love with Geoff. Alaric is jealous. Alaric insists that Tam has gone absolutely out of her mind to fall in love with someone so boring and cashmere as Geoff, and offers her an exciting life in crime. She leaves Geoff for Alaric, only to gain his trust and arrest him for the SFPD.

•Four jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who comes to your rescue: Ten, Two, or Seven?

Libby jumps me in a dark alleyway. He is attempting to force me to sign a petition to ban animal testing of makeup. Ian, Xhosa, and Eddie all witness the attack. While Ian is a superhero, he quickly judges that no violence is actually taking place and goes to fight more important battles. Xhosa thinks it's hilarious and keeps going. Eddie, being gallant and far too honest for his own good, comes in to save me.

•One decides to start a cooking show. Fifteen minutes later...:

Shane decides to start a cooking show. The ingredients are alien and the processes involve technology that hasn't been invented yet. The results could blow up, could animate a plastic flamingo lawn ornament, or could perhaps taste like chicken. The viewership does not take its chances.

•Three has to marry either Eight, Four or Nine.

Tam has to marry either Alaric, Libby, or Aldan. She can't stand Alaric on principle, she hates Libby's job as a 'rofessional rabblerouser' - a protester - and while she finds Aldan charming and very physically attractive, he doesn't quite have the witty repartee for her. She instead chooses to switch out the application forms for this ridiculous love game show she's been maliciously entered into and picks Alan Conners instead.

•Seven kidnaps Two and demands something from Five for Two’s release.

Eddie kidnaps Xhosa and demands something from Switch. Eddie, who has clearly undergone an alien lobotomy, kidnaps her and demands he find a way to make her human. Switch could not care less about some random chick and lets Eddie keep her.

•Everyone gangs up on Three.

Everyone gangs up on Tam. Between all of her hidden weaponry, of both firearms and hand fighting type, and her Death Glare, she walks out of the alley, heels clicking on the sidewalk, completely unscathed. A few hours later, a police car is sent to pick up the pile of wounded men.

•Everyone is invited to Two and Ten’s wedding, except for Eight. How do they react?

Everyone is invited to Xhosa and Ian's wedding, except for Alaric. He is rather unimpressed, and decides to send them an obnoxiously expensive gift to make them feel guilty. It works.

•One arrived late for Two and Ten’s Wedding. What happens, and why were they late?

Shane arrived late to Xhosa and Ian's wedding. He was caught up in an almost-lethal adventure involving a rat the size of a German Shepherd and a long strand of christmas lights. By the time he arrives, out of breath and singed, the bride and groom are already eating cake. They know him, and were pleasantly surprised he made it at all.

•Why is Six afraid of Seven?

Why is Geoff afraid of Eddie? He is only afraid that one day they won't be friends anymore. They are both boring, nice, eager to please normal people.

•Five and Six get roaring drunk and end up at your house.

Switch and Geoff get roaring drunk and end up at my house. Switch is an incredibly moody, depressed drunk, but Geoff is rather giggly and happy. Geoff tries to cheer Switch up constantly, but really isn't very good at it. Switch ends up retching into my toilet, and I blame Geoff, who is sheepish, but still tipsy.

•Nine murders Two’s best friend. What does Two do?

Aldan murders Xhosa's best friend. She hunts him down, only to discover that Aldan's previous identity Dwayne Moore has already been erased by his head trauma. She is angry now that she has nobody to blame or punish, but eventually goes home.

•Six and One are in mortal danger. Does Six save themselves or One?

Geoff and Shane are in mortal danger. Geoff makes a valiant attempt to save Shane, but Shane really knows more about these things than Geoff and ends up saving them both with Geoff's support.

•Eight and Three go camping, but forgot to bring any food.

Alaric and Tamora go camping, but forgot to bring food. Alaric is fantastic in the city, but useless in the woods. Tam brings her pistol out to the woods and returns with a stag and several rabbits for Alaric to roast.

•Four is in a car crash and is critically injured. What does Nine do?

Libby is in a car crash. Aldan is distressed, and uses his tow truck to bring them to a hospital when the ambulance is too far away to make it quickly enough. He waits outside in the lobby until Libby's well enough to take visitors.
