YOINK - 10 Character Meme

[trinityvixen]

feiran started this ridiculously fun and challenging meme, and despite the fact that, at first glance, I appeared to be hopeless at it, I've come to love it. So I wanna play from the other side and I'ma stealing her meme!


The way it works is that I pick ten fictional characters, you invent ridiculous scenarios for the characters (e.g. 1 and 3 are trapped in a trash compactor, what happens?). I give the outcome, and you guess who the characters are. Interested?

I'll make a list of guessed characters here:

1)
2)
3)
4)
5) Trinity (The Matrix)
6)
7)
8) Stephen Colbert (The Colbert Report)
9)
10) The Dark Phoenix (X-Men)

There are no repeats; every character is from a different work/fandom. Let's play!

Hrm. 3, 6 & 9 are all sent to he'll, where they are powerless against it's denizens. Which Of the seven deadly sins is their worst, and what is their ironic punishment?

3's is either lust or pride. He's lucky that, after many years under a very specific curse, flame doesn't bother him so much. His ironic punishment is probably having to watch his stuffed-shirt best friend score with the ladies.

6 definitely went to hell for greed and sloth. Her ironic punishment is being stuck in a situation where she has to run one mile for every dollar of debt she had in life. Naturally, she'll be running for an eternity.

9's sin is vanity. He fancied himself more famous than he ever was, with the ego to match, despite the fact no one knows who he is. His ironic punishment is to be constantly cast as the red shirt in a never-ending TV serial where his character is aware of how he will die but is helpless to stop it. He spends his eternity frightened and in pain.
