Question 1 of 10
1. My name is Charlie McGee. I have always had this ability to start fires with my mind ever since I was a child. My mommy and daddy taught me not to after a short time, and ever since then I've been trying to keep them under control. But it became harder than ever when the bad people in the government killed my mommy and came after me and daddy. Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. My name is Hannibal Lecter. I have recently escaped from the asylum where I have been kept for numerous years, the asylum where I would've spent my entire life helping, insulting, or just ignoring those FBI agents and psychologists. If I remember correctly I made one of them cry with my insults. I am now on the FBI's prestigous Ten-Most-Wanted list and am quite proud of it. Now I am about to follow the only woman I had contact with during my entire stay at the asylum, an FBI agent named Clarice Starling. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. My name is Shira Shipman. My son was taken from me by my husband Josh because of the decision of Y-S, the multi that I worked for not a year ago. After my son was taken from me and sent with his father to a space installation I moved back to Tikva, the free town I grew up in. My grandmother welcomed me with open arms and introduced me to Yod, a cyborg created by Avram, the father of my ex. Yod was created just in time because Tikva is under attack, and the attacker is Y-S, that multi that I used to work for. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. I remain with no name. I have a friend named Tyler Durden who is full of useful information, such as how to make home-made dynamite or soap. He and I get together and create a club we call Fight Club. For a while things are good, then things start to get out of hand with Tyler. Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. My name is Claire Redfield. My brother disappeared a short while ago so, in an attempt to find out what happened to him, I travelled to Raccoon City, the city he lived in. Now I am trapped here by hordes of zombies and monsters that are part of a conspiracy so vast that it expands world-wide. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. I'm Frodo Baggins. My life was that of a normal hobbit until my uncle took off, entrusting me with the ring he always kept with him. Gandalf, a friend of my uncle's and mine, discovered that this ring is the One Ring that was created by an evil warlord thousands of years ago. Now that this ring has been found, the warlord wants it back, to bring himself to physical form once again. The only way to finally end this warlord's existence is to travel to Mount Doom, the place of origin for the ring. Unfortunately this Mount Doom is right in the middle of the warlord's lands of Mordor. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. My name is Fly Taggart. I am a marine in Fox Corps and have recently disobeyed orders and am being put under surveillance during a mission to the civilization on Mars's moon Phobos. However, shortly after landing the marines that left me behind under the gaze of two guards are killed by what are described over the radio as inhuman demons. I escaped from the other two marines and am now searching for my best friend through zombified marines and unspeakable demons. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. My name is Joe Clarendon, but my friends call me Beaver or sometimes the Beav. I was out on an annual hunting trip with my friends when a strange man stumbled into our cabin. There is something strange about this man, we don't find out until he goes into the bathroom, bleeding. When Jonesy and I break in we find him sitting on the toilet with blood and mossy stuff everywhere. There is an something in there with him. That something I trap in the toilet after spilling my toothpicks everywhere. Jonesy leaves to go get duct tape, while I am left here with a craving for the toothpicks. My momma always said those toothpicks would kill me, she had just never thought of anything like this! Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. My name is Harold Lauder. I'm called Hawk by a few people in Boulder, Colorado, which is where many of the survivors of the super-flu live. I was sent there by Randall Flagg to spy on them with Nadine Cross. Now I'm having second thoughts, but after planting that bomb there's no going back. Hint

Answer: Stephen King

This is the main character of Stephen King's "Firestarter". It isn't his best book, yet it is quite entertaining with some interesting looks at experimental drugs and the unfulfilled power of the mind. There is a movie of the same title based on this book.
2. My name is Hannibal Lecter. I have recently escaped from the asylum where I have been kept for numerous years, the asylum where I would've spent my entire life helping, insulting, or just ignoring those FBI agents and psychologists.

Answer: Thomas Harris

Thomas Harris has written all three of the books in the classic "Hannibal" series. There are four movies based on this series, one is a remake of the first and generally considered a prequel. "Red Dragon", "The Silence of the Lambs", and "Hannibal" are the three amazing books about this haunting character.

Answer: Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver

These two co-wrote four "DOOM" books starring this character and Arlene Sanders. These books are based on a classic video-game series that revolutionized first-person shooters. The first of this series of books takes place on Phobos and Deimos, the two moons of Mars.

The second takes place on Earth. The third follows two groups of characters, one on Earth and one trying to find allies in space. The fourth takes place completely in space as the origin of the demons is revealed.

Answer: J.R.R. Tolkien
