I was asked on tumblr earlier tonight about how a conversation with myself and Luthien would go, Which is odd to think as i largely consider her myself. Nonetheless i gave a response, and it got me thinking; How would your character react upon meeting you in real life?
Imagine yourself in a situation where you have undoubtedly been introduced or bumped into someone whom is your own character, a creation of your own thoughts and imagination, an expansion of yourself, if you will. Even better; you know who they are, but they do not know who you are. Perhaps you were sucked into massivecraft via a magical rift, and the first person you come across is the very same you talk and interact through, the character whose life you gave and plan, whose future you know and who's dirty little secrets you are aware of.
How would the interaction go?
Personally, Luthien would think little of me but ONLY if she did not know who i was. She would probably think me irritating and stubborn, and more than likely one she would like to put in their place. If i saw her in the tavern, I would greet her with an air of smug knowledge to and of herself, which she would hate, as she hates it when any think they know her without getting close to her at all.
First off lets imagine that I wouldn't be terribly nervous and a little bit frightened to meet her. In reality if i was to meet her, i would be too scared to actually talk to her, but not scared OF her, more like "oh my god its that person that i obsess over what if i look dumb in front of her or say something stupid i wish i was more like her ugh i'm such a neerrrdd why even"
SO LETS IMAGINE I GOT OVER THAT
If she was alone, I would first off be sure to be careful with my words, and hopefully not make her want to kill me.
I would "greet" her with a comment such as "Frank about?" to which she would answer with narrowed eyes and a heavily sarcastic tone; "Clearly not."
I would then make a remark such as "Then why are you here?" and give her an irritatingly smug smile, to which she would glare at me and respond bluntly "...Go away." and more than likely ignore me from there on in.
which i would find hilarious.
So do tell. How would your own interaction go, had you the chance to meet your own character? Give an example of both knowing who you are and that you made them up, and not knowing anything about you!
