Opposite sex (not gender) universe: I'd probably be less confident, and I'd still be curious and inquisitive I think. I may be a lad who sits in his room all day, living with his mother, burying himself in his interests instead of striving for more confidence outside (because being so sensitive as I am it's somewhat more acceptable by society being a girl who is sensitive... I don't agree with it but that's how things are right now). As a girl I could learn to handle being sensitive but being a boy it wouldn't be as easy because of peer pressure. Hence becoming reclusive or, as I almost did in high school, becoming cold and heartless on the outside and tormented on the inside. For that I am grateful for being female. Criminal Universe: If crime was reversed I'd guess that would mean that if you committed a horrible crime in one universe today then today in the criminal universe you really only did a little harmless crime. And if you did no crime at all in this universe it would mean you'd do a serious amount of crime in the criminal universe. The life of everyone in this universe must be under many really strict rules that are broken pretty much all the time, possibly dumb rules that don't need to be there that would be easily broken (such as it is illegal to eat cup cakes on Wednesdays or something silly like that). Not everyone could possibly be in prison so there must be shoddy law enforcement or a lot of leniency for crimes committed. Must be a lot of confusion then over what you can or cannot do. Some people who worry and fuss over never breaking a law (a minority), others who just do what they like to or need to to survive (majority). So I think I'd be living in an area with a lot of moral degradation (it's like that already, it would just probably be worse) and less care over committing crimes. There may be gangs as an attempt to survive against authorities and other criminals and gain support from an organized group, and you wouldn't want to be left out of the loop because loners are easy targets to criminals. Yet all my life I have never fitted in to those types of crowds, being sensitive I probably wouldn't have been tough enough to survive. I would conclude that the chances of me being dead right now in the criminal universe are quite high. But if I had found a way of survival it would probably have been through a complete reform of character to become more conning and be able to suppress any feelings of guilt. Everyone has a superpower universe: I would probably be an animal shapeshifter. I don't really change myself to suit my environment in a social context, but I have always had the ability to put myself in the mind of an animal and use the skills and behaviours of that animal wherever possible. So I ould probably have the ability to transform myself into various different animals, depending on how much I know about them. I probably couldn't transform into the shape of any animal, just the ones I know a lot about and have seen often. Few people have a superpower universe: It's unlikely that I would be one of them. If I was I'd use my superpowers to hide away when I don't want to be seen and to get my way more often. I'd be spoiled actually because of it. I'd also be too naive and end up getting discovered, but I may avoid capture by being something small and hard to find. Pokemon universe: I don't think I'd be a trainer actually. I might prefer to study pokemon as a profession. I might also have a few pokemon pets, particularly birds. Edited by KayKay, Aug 26 2010, 08:41 AM.

Opposiute gender- Not sure. I'd be a different person so i can't really say. Most likely really slutty though. Dog- I'd be a Samoyed! Criminal- I'd be murdering every night. :whistle: Superpowers- Probably one of those rubbishy mental powers, but ideally the ability to take on the form of a 40m indestructible dragon. Pokemon- I'd spend my time hiding in a cellar and gibbering about how this is all impossible. |

Opposite gender universe (where everyone is a different gender)- Dunno. Where everyone is a dog and visa versa- German Shepherd? Criminal Universe (where everyone who isn't a crim is, and everyone who is isn't)- I would be a big bank robber. But if big crimes are what you are supposed to do, then it isn't really a crime is it? People would welcome you robbing them. Superpowers Universe- I would probably have telekinesis and telepathy. Pokemon Universe- Dunno, don't care about universe. |

In an opposite gender universe, I'd probably be very strange. In a dog universe, I'd be a cat. I'm not much of a dog person. In a criminal universe, I'd most likely be dead. Seriously, what the hell do you think would happen if there was a world full of criminals? It'd be utter chaos! Then again, SA has a pretty high crime rate, so in a criminal universe, it would probably be one of the safest places on Earth. In a superpower universe, I'd probably be dead as well, unless I had some sort of immortality or I had exceptionally formidable superpowers. Seriously, a world full of superpowered individuals? It'd also be chaos... when a single person can destroy an armada of tanks with their mind? Pokemon universe- what Silversaurus said. (Silver slave? Pandorasaurus? I have no idea who is who anymore...) Edited by T.Neo, May 29 2012, 11:13 AM.

Silversaurus is Pando... thought we're not allowed to say so. Oh, and surely there's no such thing as a stereotypical guy? Dead? Well that's not much of a role, is it? Dead? Let's assume that you've survived to your present age in both these universes, by fluke perhaps. |

Opposite Gender Universe: I'd be a reptile and bird obsessed nerdy girl. Dog Universe: I'd be an english bull terrier. Criminal Universe: I'd be some crazy guy who lives high up in the mountains and robs lost travellers. Super Power Universe: I'd have the abilities to fire deadly beams and rays. Pokemon Universe: I'd be a very experienced younger trainer that has extremely powerful Pokemon. |

Yeah... y'know, the sort of sporty type that likes cars and stuff. Maybe it's more apparent as a phase earlier in life but it's around during adulthood as well (kids play with toy cars, adults drool over real ones, etc). And the sort of drooling-over-women lech type.
Well, I'd probably commit crimes in between white-collar sort of stuff (fraud, etc) and more violent crimes, like robbing banks or hijacking cars. I don't think I'd go around killing people for no reason. In a superpower universe, I'd stay as far away as possible from the rest of society, to avoid danger. Or if I could compete with that sort of chaos, I'd try to live as normal a life as possible. In a world of differently-superpowered individuals, it'd probably become natural selection. The stronger types would probably start killing the weaker ones or at least achieving rule over the rest of the population, and it's likely that clades or castes would form (intellectually superpowered people lead in a sort of scientocracy, superstrong people maintain infrastructure, technology controlling people build and maintain all modern technology, immortal people do extremely dangerous tasks, etc).

Well, sporty and cars... i like both. Although this is generated by society. Drooling over women? Can't say i do. Most aren't worth a second glance. ![]() I'd probably be much like that, in that universe. ![]() Although, the terms of criminality haven't been very well spelled out by Seascorp. I would either by a murderer or a cowardly thief. Good plan. |

Opposite gender: Probably not all that different from now, might even have the same girlfriend. Doggieverse: 1/4 Irish Setter, 3/4 English Springer Spaniel. Criminal Universe: Something vaguely official, but I doubt privateer would be practical. Superpower universe: I'd probably have a one of those lame, highly specific powers. The ability to reach any shelf, no matter it's height. Pokemon universe: I've probably have asbestos pants so I could ride a Rapidash, other than that...maybe a breeder? Or I could just be that guy who watches contests and says remarkable. That's got to be a sweet gig. Interesting notion this. I've always thought that if I was around in the 30's I'd probably become at least intrigued Fascism, perhaps I'd end up at the Barricades, setting them on fire. |

Opposite genders: ... I would be pretty much the same, but I would be a woman. I'm kind of a paranoid person, and women are much more likely to be assaulted, not only because of coitus-related reasons, but also because they are seen as an easier target for robbers and muggers and such. So I would probably take some form of self-defense class to protect myself. Dog: I would be a dog... I don't know too much about dog breeds, so I can't accurately answer this one. I'd be one that eats stuff I guess. Criminal: I would be the leader of a cult. Cult leading is really easy and seems to be the high-life. The only reason I don't do it is because I'm catholic, so you know, I want to get into heaven and stuff. Pretending to be jesus doesn't seem like it would help me get in. But if I was a criminal and didn't care, I might as well tell all the guys to commit suicide while I live on a ranch with a bunch of money and women and puppies and whatnot. Superpowers: The ability to speak and comprehend every language ever fluently. Pokemon: I would own a shiny Gyarados, no question about it. That would be my only pokemon. He would know fly, surf, rollout, and ice beam. I know it can't learn fly in the games, but it's seen flying in the show, and it's flying type, so whatever. |
