1) Make a list of 15 characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)
2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.
For example:
"4, 6, 12 & 15 are starting a band together, what is their name and what kind of music do they play? Also, who's the lead singer, and what instruments do the others play?"
3) After your flist has asked enough questions (I'll go for at least ten, and everyone can ask more than one), round them up and answer them using the 15 characters you selected beforehand, and then post them.
...only better make it 1 through 12. I could scrape up 15 characters, but I can't remember all their names and some are from a veeeeery long time ago and I would rather not talk about them if I did not have to :P
ps A little bird is telling me that the characters at the top of the list would be recognizable to LARP-goers, while the rest is more familiar to those of you I've rolled dice with. (And this is how we roll)

Date: 2006-11-26 04:17 am (UTC)2) Becky, Idealistic vampire (Masquerade)
3) Elli, Malkavian (Masquerade)
7) Elalor, Exalted - Zenith Caste Solar, extremely jaded and cynical socialite and performer
10) Ledaal Adaris, Exlated - Water Aspected DragonBlood, sympathetic to Solars after her brother Exalted as one, often a motherly figure, but slaps Kerrick around a lot too (it's just cause he knows better than to pull those stunts - and she's in love with him)
Becky's first impulse is always, always to grab her book, but if she'd already read it, she might have confided it to someone (Eddie, perhaps) and chosen some kind of knife.
Elli would grab two items if she could - her notebook and a pen. She has enough of a driving need to write, however, that she could just as easily improvise with materials on the island, like charcoal and bark, or stone. She just wouldn't care enough to think on the practical issues.
Elalor... would probably bring something she considered practical, like one of her guns with which to hunt, or a pot to cook the food in.
Adaris being pretty much the only one capable of suriving outside of civilization would bring something that is actually more along the lines of necessary. She'd likely choose her Fire-enchanted hook sword.
If Becky knew that Adaris was bringing her hook sword, she would waffle, want to take her book, but realise it would do more good elsewhere and find something else practical to bring. Realising so many others are being practical, Elalor would drop her pot and grab a musical instrument. Only Elli and Adaris would remain constant no matter what the others were doing.
