So, this summer I took a leadership seminar made me look deep within myself, and I had a great revelation. Needless to say I took on an all new PROACTIVE ATTITUDE !!! So, several barbeques and sunburns later, I've reached a new social status amongst my friends and now get invited everywhere... unfortunately, my PROACTIVE ATTITUDE backfired on my and now everyone wants me to either go see the Dark Knight three more times, come to their potluck, or just accompany them in public so that my glorious radiance will attract legions of worshippers for them to manipulate at my expense. I didn't see this one coming.

I chose Tristan vs. Baine.

Question One: Usually a hero has at least one similiarity with their villain opposite. List up to three if you can.

1.) They're both very good at what they do.
2.) They both have force-edges (swords that glow).
3.) They both excel at... being... jerks?

Great. Question Two: Some differences.
1.) Baine = Evil, Tristan = ...not evil.
2.) Baine's an assassin, Tristan is a soldier.
3.) Baine has a few armies at his disposal, Tristan just has his ragtag crew of outlaws

Question Three: What would a civil conversation between the two sound like?
Baine: Tristan, my friend, it's good to see you.
Tristan: ...what happened to "I'll see you among the undead yet, you son-of-a-bitch"?
Baine: My intention remains the same, but there's no reason I can't be civil.

Question Four: Alright, sweet. Now their most violent conversation!
Baine: "Come to the Dark Side."
Tristan: STFU
Baine: *sends thugs at him* Kill him.
Tristan: UNSTOPPABLE, GLOWING CYCLONE OF DEATH!

Question Five: Ouch, damn. Now how about if they were forced to live together?
Four million dollars in property damage ensues.

Question 6: Will / has your protagonist kill / killed the antagonist, or vice-versa?
Wouldn't you like to know.

Question 7: Does your antagonist have any hobbies?
Making zombies.

Question 8: Do your protagonist and antagonist have themesongs? If so, what are they?
Tristan: "Ladies and Gentlemen" - Saliva.
Baine: "When You're Evil" - Voltaire.

Question 8: Do you think if their situations were switched, things would be different?
Not really. Baine's a section 8, and Tristan just gets the job done. If anything, Tristan would be the zombie-making mercenary, and Baine would kill him so he could take his job.

Question 9: Do you associate them with any animals?
Tristan: a wolf.
Baine: a tiger.

Question 10: What are the greatest Sins (by that we mean Seven Deadlies) of your protagonist and antagonist?
Tristan's greatest would be Sloth (he doesn't like to take responsibility for much of anything). Baine is Wrath, I'll let you figure out why.

Question 11: Update them to modern times if they're not already. Who are they now?
Tristan: a con-artist who fell ass-first into a conspiracy.
Baine: a mercenary hired by big-business to prevent anyone from discovering that their product strengthens global warming.

Question 12: Favored method of transportation for the protagonist and antagonist?
Tristan: Airship (Serenity Style).
Baine: Airship (Star Destroyer Style).

Question 13: Favored weapon(s) of choice?
Tristan: Broadsword force-edge with a blue glow.
Baine: Rapier force-edge with a faint pink glow.

And finally, question 14: Is a resolution ever possible?
If one of them dies, yes.

I tag:



... PROACTIVE ATTITUDE !!!
