1.) Phoenix of Chaos (PoC)
2.) Chaos of Phoenix (CoP)
3.) Serpent of Chaos (SoC)
4.) Chaos of Serpent (CoS)
5.) Emerl of Chaos (EoC)
6.) Dark Emerl
7.) Chaos
8.) Twinblade
9.) Magician
10.) Nymph

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?

PoC (leader), SoC (lancer), EoC (big guy), Chaos (a rabbit pokémon trainer and the Smart Guy) and Magician (the chick, but she can hold her own too); VS CoP (leaeder), CoS (lancer), Dark Emerl (big guy), Twinblade (smart guy) and Nymph (chick)? That could turn out interesting. PoC and SoC would go against their chaos counterparts, as would EoC. Chaos would probably try to capture Twinblade with his Metagross, leaving Magician (a Gardevoir) and Nymph (a robot based on a shiny Milotic) to duke it out.

2. Gender-swap 2 (CoP), 8 (Twinblade) & 10 (Nymph). 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?
CoP would have to have a personality change, as he redefined bloodthirsty. Twinblade would become an impossibility (which I love working with) and not much would happen to Nymph.

3. Compare the matchups of 1 (PoC) & 8 (Twinblade) and 5 (EoC) & 9 (Magician). (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?
This would not work, let's leave it at that.

4. Your team is 3 (SoC), 4 (CoS) & 9 (Magician). The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
SoC takes the social challenge, Magician takes the mental challenge and CoS takes the physical.

5. 7 (Chaos) becomes 1 (PoC)'s boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
Pretty good, actually, their personalities go along quite well.

6. 2 (SoC) finds him/her/itself inserted into 6 (Dark Emerl)'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?
They'd have to fight and quickly, and probably Dark Emerl would win.

7. 3 (SoC) and 5 (EoC) 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?
They probably wouldn't agree on the wishes and therefore none would be granted. Unless they wished for more power in their fighting style... Even then, that's only one.

8. 1 (PoC) and 2 (CoP) are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4 (CoS). They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
Probably not, but if she drowned their fire with her aquakinesis she might stand a chance. Then again, she'd be fighting two of CoP in effect...


9. 6 (Dark Emerl), 7 (Chaos), 9 (Magician) & 10 (Nymph) 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?

Dark Emerl would probably walk off, not caring in the slightest. Chaos, being the only other male, would dress as Santa and Magician would try to summon gifts using her awesome power. I'm not sure what Nymph'd do...
