The Truth Serum Meme
The cliche and tired trope used to create conflict or acts of realization.

And congrats, now your character is inflicted by such a trope! Be it magic, drugs, or other means. Regardless of how, your character has lost the ability to lie or be dishonest.

Are you going to tell your childhood crush how you really feel? Or maybe tell your best friend about the double life you live? Perhaps this is a good time to admit to murder... hm.

Leave your character's name in the comment section.

Characters ask you a question, you must reply truthfully.

Have fun, no lying.

What's your story?

[snaphiss]

I was born over twenty years ago and things progressed from there. You'll have to be more specific.

[batmotif]

[Dryly:] Just thought I'd be generous and let you choose where to start.

Who trained you? And what, specifically, was your job?

[snaphiss]

I'd rather not start at all.

[Ugh.] I was trained by the Emperor, primarily to root out corruption in the higher echelons of the Galactic Empire.

[batmotif]

[well you don't have a choice this time DO YA]

And is this something you wish you could return to?

[snaphiss]

[Picture the bitterest of glares.]

No.

[batmotif]

[the one man who cares not for all the glares in the world]

Why not?

oh goodie~

[sensitively]

How do you know Han Solo.

[snaphiss]

Still stuck on this, hm?

He helped me kill a Dark Jedi.

[sensitively]

[ obstinacy is her middle name. ]

A Dark Jedi? — Whom?

[snaphiss]

Joruus C'baoth. He died before you were born; I doubt you've heard of him.

[sensitively]

Isn't that what you would consider Ren to be — a Dark Jedi?

Or do you deem him a Sith?

[snaphiss]

He's not a true Sith. He lacks the discipline and the dedication necessary.

[sensitively]

So he's a Dark Jedi, then.

If Han Solo was your ally - your friend - then how can you accept the fact that his son has turned to the Dark side?

[circumspector]

What drives you so hard to hang onto yourself?

[snaphiss]

Anything less is death by another name.

[circumspector]

And have you? Faced your own death yet and accepted it as the price for your life and choices?

[ Not - sharp, just curious. ]

[snaphiss]

Yes. I was saved from that fate, but I would have let a man control me, use me as his puppet, to save a friend.

[circumspector]

I've heard a lot of heroic people say they didn't even consider it, they would have done it without even thinking about it? Was it the same for you?

[snaphiss]

No. I didn't want to do it. I would have done almost anything to avoid it, but... the people who would have been hurt if I hadn't didn't deserve it. I knew I could endure it.

[deployed]

Do you care about Murphy at all, or is it just a power thing?

[ or a weird nest thing. ]

[snaphiss]

I won't see him harmed in any way.

[deployed]

That doesn't answer the question.

[snaphiss]

[Dammit.]

If I truly only cared for power, I'd break all association with him. He's more of a liability than not.
