Animorphs Conversation

[anijen21]

All right, so I may be alone in this, but I think it's kind of frustrating when a new topic comes up in a thread, and rather than just talking about it, it needs to be relocated and cut off like a diaspora or something. So I thought it might be fun, just to have the experiment, that we start a thread with no SPECIFIC topic in mind, and just see where it goes.

This may be too radical for some, and if so, I guess I have no control over it, but let's give it a try.

I'll start things off: What careers do you think each of the Animorphs would have ended up in if the war had never happened? Based on their characterization, interests etc. that don't have to do with killing Yeerks. Include Ax in this, too, and don't take the easy route like "he would have been in the military" DUH but in what capacity?

I said this elsewhere, but I really think Rachel would have ended up as the host of some Discovery Channel show like "Dirty Jobs." I personally never thought her problem was bloodthirst, but rather a thrill addiction, so as long as she could have done something that consistently challenged her and scared her, I think she would have been fine.

Anyway, if this inspires a new topic in you, go ahead and mention it!

Hmmm. That's kinda a tough question.

Cassie's easy, she would have become a vet, probably even taking over the WRC.

Marco I'd say would go into some kind of computer science.

Ax seemed pretty set to follow in Elfangor's footsteps so whatever aspects of the military Elfangor was in Ax would have followed into.

Jake's a hard one. He was never into wars/military until he was suddenly fighting one and the only unanimorph hobby he had was basketball, which he was mediocre at. So I have no idea with him.

Same with Rachel, she was a top student but was only shown having an interest in shopping and gymnastics. She didn't draw or design so I don't see her going into fashion, she'd already decided she would never go anywhere as a gymnast and she didn't discover her thrill seeking tendency until the war kinda surprised her with it. So I'm stumped on her too.

As for Tobias.... suicide. Without the friends/family he gained from the war, and without Rachel I wouldn't have expected him to make it to 16.

It's called "off topic" for a reason anijen. If we start a thread to talk about a subject, then that's what we discuss in that thread. If you want to discuss something off topic, make a thread for it or find an existing thread.

I believe we already have a thread about this subject somewhere, but even if we don't you could have just made a thread to talk about it.

We also already have a similar topic to this actually... http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,451.525.html

So I'm sorry but I don't see any point in keeping this thread open. If we all intentionally changed topics at random, then we might as well only have one thread for the entire forum!
