The first person describes a character. The second person gives the name of the character and book/movie/show.
For instance, if I were to say, “I grew up on a desert planet and later befriended a couple of droids, blew up a big space ship, became romantically involved with my sister, and found out my father was a Sith lord. Who am I?”
Then someone would answer, “Luke Skywalker, Star Wars IV, V, VI.”
That person would then post their clues.
Remember, this is Sci-Fi. Make it as easy or as hard as you want
Sound like fun?
Okay, I’ll start.
“I was a hero for my country in a terrible war. One night, while staring up at the planet Mars, I was actually transported there. How, I cannot say. But, I met a variety of strange and often savage creatures. Some were of the highest moral calibre, others were vile. I fell in love with a princess whom I had saved from a horrible fate. Who am I?”
I’m guilty of rape, murder, and selling 23 humans to a fate worse than death. I made one of my victims addicted to the stimulus from a highly illegal implant I put in her brain myself, and impregnated her while she was my sex slave. Despite my horrendous crimes I saved humanity from extinction and earned the respect of those who hated (and still do hate) me.
I dunno, Badtz, but if it’s not John Norman or Piers Anthony, I’ll be surprised! (If his victim is under say…17, I’ll go with Anthony. If his victim likes it, 'cause all women wanna be raped I’ll go with Norman)
Nope. Victim is too old for Piers Anthony (I believe the character is in her early 20s, maybe late teens), and she definitely did not enjoy it.
Hmm, this is taking a while…it’s not that obscure. It’s a series of novels by an author better known for a fantasy series he wrote, which also had a rapist for a protagonist.
That would be a Angus Thermopylae from Stephen R. Donaldson’s Gap series. Great books. Brutal, but great.
Lessee here…
I was one of the leading lights in physics before I joined humanity’s first permanent colony to a new planet. I was instrumental in the terraforming effort, and later, as a revolutionary, designing weapons for the underground movement to wrest control of the planet from Earth. The most frustrating, yet ultimately rewarding experience of my life was my desire to please a woman who was against everything I stood for.
I’m pretty sure Ferrous’s is from David Brin’s Red Mars and it’s sequels, but as I’ve never read any of them (couldn’t get more than a hundred pages into RM), I can’t guess the character’s name.
On the other hand, Just Some Guy’s has to be Corwin of Amber, from Roger Zealazny’s Nine Princes in Amber.
Next:
“I’m a vetern, a former inmate of an alien zoo, and I’ve had sex with a porn star.”
I’m one of the elite 'cause I’m so smart, it’s easy to tell 'cause I have a symbol after my name that says so (only 9 other people share this honor). I spend much of my book showing my babe around our exciting society of the FUTURE!
At one point, she gets kidnapped by space pirates, but eventually, I rescue her and we live happily ever after!
Fenris
Ferrous: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, right? GD&R
Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse Five
next: I earned my name after visiting an inclidibly large world with two humans and a leaf eater. **

Just to join the two sub-games back together:
Speaker-To-Animals (aka Chmee(?) ) from Ringworld
and to repeat my last one:
