Instructions: List 10 different fictional characters from any fandom/s you like, number them 1 to 10 in any order you like, and don't peek at the questions until you're done. Then, answer the following questions. (There are two "sets" of questions in which the numbers are different, but you don't have to answer both "sets".)
1. Ziva David, NCIS
2. Dairine Callahan, Young Wizards
3. Daniel Jackson, Stargate SG-1
4. The Lone Power, Young Wizards
5. Siri Tachi, Star Wars
6. Aeryn Sun, Farscape
7. Inara Serra, Firefly
8. Jake, Animorphs
9. The Doctor, Doctor Who
10. Serafina Pekkala, His Dark Materials
#1 Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?
Leader: The Doctor
Lancer: Siri Tachi
Big Guy: Ziva David
Smart Guy: Daniel Jackson
The Chick: Inara Serra
The other team would be so dysfunctional. Jake would be trying to control the Lone Power, Aeryn, Dairine, and Serafina. That would work so well...
#2 (V1) Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
Dairine Callahan, Jake, Serafina Pekkala
Serafina would definitely have the most change. If she was a boy, she'd be dead, not queen. Dairine might be the least changed, though it's sort of a toss-up between her and Jake.
#2 (V2) Gender-swap 5, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
#3 (V1) Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?

Siri Tachi and Jake, Dairine Callahan and the Doctor
Dairine and the Doctor would be amazing. How cool of a companion would she make? They would probably just have a DoctorDonna relationship, though, which is fine by me.
#4 (V1) Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
Social: The Doctor
Mental: Daniel Jackson
Physical: The Lone Power
...Not sure if we're going to complete the mission, but it's going to be fun, anyway.

#5 (V1) 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
Inara Serra and Ziva David
...Yeah. I can't think of a plausible explanation. But I'd definitely like to see what would happen. Especially considering what Inara's line of work is.
#5 (V2) 7 becomes 5's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
#6 (V1) 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
#6 (V2) 1 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 1 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 1 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
Ziva could easily be another Peacekeeper who Aeryn knew. Alternately, she could be a random liaison from Israel to IASA. That could work, too.
#7 (V1) 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
#7 (V2) 3 and 7 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
Daniel Jackson and Inara Serra
They would probably be very gracious as to what the other person would want to wish for. And they'd also probably have world peace or some such thrown in their. Minus and Reaver-making that might occur.
#8 (V1) 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Ziva David, Dairine Callahan, and the Lone Power
The Lone Power would survive, though probably not that manifestation of It. Who could survive the combined forces of Ziva and Dairine when told to kill? ...That's actually a very frightening thought.
#8 (V2) 6 and 3 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 1. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 1 survive? How?
#9 (V1) 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?
Aeryn Sun, Inara Serra, The Doctor, and Serafina Pekkala
The Doctor would get really into organizing everything, and Inara and Serafina would be happy to help. Aeryn, too, but she'd pretend she had better things to do. The girls would make sure that it was the Doctor who ended up in the Santa Clause suit, though.
#9 (V2) 1, 6, 7 & 9 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?
#10 (V1) 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?

Daniel Jackson and Serafina Pekkala
Oh man, this question has made me ship them or no apparent reason other than the combined pretty. But, anyway, they would definitely be able to do it. As long as the crossed the International Date Line in the right direction.
