SO BECAUSE I WAS BORED and looking through old GDS posts for a good meme, I ended up stuck between a sorta-meme of elle's and this. Coinflip said this one and I'm in a philosophical natter sort of mood, so PRESENTING:

THE BABYLON 5 QUESTIONS MEME

- Wait what Babylon 5?

- Basically, in the TV show Babylon 5, there were six questions one was supposed to ask oneself, in order to find one's center and purpose. They are AS FOLLOWS:

Who are you?
What do you want?
Why are you here?
Where are you going?
Whom do you serve?
Who do you trust?


Answer in-character, and have your characters react to the answers of others accordingly.


BONUS QUESTION: There's also a question from the game Planescape: Torment that always produces interesting answers: "What can change the nature of a man?" (in this case man/woman/robot/etc)
