- Hey, David. - Hey crystal.
- Guess what, we have a friend.
- Oh, who's here.
- Hi, Madz. - It's me.
- Oh, hey, Madz.
- Hello, what's happening guys?
- What's going on, man.
- It's comfy.
- It's a very special chair.
It's a very special place to be.
It doesn't take your soul or anything.
(upbeat music)
Today, I'll be quizzing you on, are you the main character?
- Oh, interesting.
- Quick disclaimer, I've made this up myself based off
of just what authors said these character roles are.
What do you think you are just based off of nothing, go?
- I always considered myself the green power ranger.
- Okay, what about you, Dave?
- I am probably the love interest.
- I like the idea that David is just always holding a rose.
- We're going to find out if you guys are right today.
So, now it's dark, you're in the dark now.
Yup, and then I appear before you I am the magical witch
and I'm crystal, and I'm the boss. Hi.
And I want you to think back to your most defining moments
that have made you who you are today,
whether they're good, whether they're bad.
With that in your mind, imagine a forest that reflects
or embodies what those moments are.
What does it look like?
- It is night and there is a sh*t ton of trees.
I spawned and there was a tree in front of me.
And it may seem spooky, but not actually a spooky.
- For me, it's daytime.
Think of like the legend of mana tree,
like that thick girthy boy, that was a big tree.
- Okay, I've written down my notes.
Okay, now I want you to walk through your forest.
And you're going to come in through a clearing.
In this clearing, I want you to think
of your goals and dreams.
Imagine them take shape as a building right in front of you.
What does the building look like?
How big is it?
- It's kinda welcoming.
It's a lot more colorful than the forest, quite grand.
It's not crazy tall.
- My building's really out of place in the forest.
Very tall buildings, zooms past the trees, right?
It's like tall the sky
but the inside kind of like colorful and stuff.
But the outside of the building is very normal and gray.
- A huge wall suddenly appears between you and the building.
No matter which way you go, the wall continues to extend.
You do manage to find an opening
but there is a person blocking this only gate
entry past the wall and they will not let you pass.
They say, only the worthy can enter, what do you do?
- Oh, I say, excuse me.
- I am worthy, this is my idea.
- So that guy goes, prove it.
- I try and distract him like, what's that over there?
And I run back.
- You ran into the gate and you got electrocuted.
- Oh no, that was terrible.
I'd ask him for advice.
I'd say, is there anything I could do to get here?
- He says, yes, and he gives you this really thick book.
A whole bunch of, one of the DMV for eight hours type stuff.
And once you've completed that, then you can pass.
- Sounds awful.
- I would sigh,
and then I'd be like, all right, man, cheers.
- So you're going to go complete the book.
- I'm going to go to the DMV for eight hours.
- Madz got electrocuted and then is now at the DMV,
what are you doing?
- Listen, I go up to the guy and I go
all you have to do is shake my hand.
And then when he does.
- He's skeptical.
- I send him a magical surge through my hand
which of course only belongs to the one of the worthy.
And he then knows that I am the one.
And please step aside, thank you, excuse me, goodbye.
- He's impressed, but he's still says
no bitch, you gotta take the buck.
- I find Madz, and I say,
hey, look, we both got to do this book.
Let's go on an adventure together.
- We've decided to navigate ourselves away.
So we can complete this stupidly long book.
And you run across a table.
And on this table you see five bottles.
- I throw Madz at them.
- You missed.
And now you're going to look at my fucking bottles
and leave them alone.
(David laughing)
So the first bottle that you see is round and pink.
The label simply read the greatest thing you'll ever learn.
Next to it is a bottle that has ornate metal curls.
The label reads everything you want
but the cost shall haunt.
The next bottle, is just a simple corked glass.
And the handwritten note says, nourish.
The one besides that one,
one liquid is shining blinding sunspot
while the other one moves around it like a dark galaxy.
- That sounds cool. _ I want that one, eh.
- Yeah, that one's like the special edition bottle.
- The very very last one is just pleasantly yellow.
And at the very end of the table, it says friendship.
Which one do you take?
- I'd definitely take the sun in galaxy looking one.
- Going for the pink one.
- Now you have them.
You're not going to find out what they do
until the end of this test.
As you're walking, I've decided on board.
And I snap my fingers
and now there's a giant roll in front of you.
I snap my fingers again
and now there's a whole bunch of people everybody's running,
everybody's screaming, troll's out of control
and is approaching a town.
Guys, I'm pretty sure your building of dreams
is in that direction, so you might wnna stop it.
- David fly.
- Hop on my filthy back.
- He gets you right into this group of people.
The group of people, they're like,
we need all the help we can get, what do you do?
- What do you want me to do?
- They don't have any plans.
- Trolls aren't that smart.
- Oh, all right, take the vines from the trees.
And we wrap them around his legs.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" music starts playing.
(all laughing)
- There's a lot of us, right?
- Yeah. - Okay, well,
could also get a group of people on one side
and other group of people on the other side
to just make sure that we're strong enough to trip it.
- Okay, you know what?
You've done it.
You take down the troll.
He hits us out on a rock and gets knocked out instatntly
and he's dead.
It was an accident, it was an accident.
He's dead, but it's okay.
He will be fondly remembered everybody.
Time for your results.
- Oh yeah, I'm excited.
- But based off of my calculations, I'm going to say
Madz is the love interest.
And, David, I think you're the main character.
Based off of your answers.
- Oh, David. - [Madz] Seriously?
- You're my love interest, Madz.
- David gave me the rose.
- First question was all about your backstory.
Every single main character
has an important and impactful backstory.
Forrest is indicative of that.
The main character is going to have a large thing
in their past.
Well, David's huge tree.
I would say that that means that there is
some kind of very beading in your past.
Madz, love interests can have a backstory.
It's not likely going to be incredibly dramatic.
- Yeah, my backstory is chill.
- That's why I have categorized you as the love interest.
For everybody at home, the villain is actually
going to be very similar to the main character.
Probably going to be extremely dark, extremely foreboding.
Side characters is going to be a pleasant pass.
It's not going to be super big or super thick.
The npc is very going to be very simple.
The second answer was every single main character
needs goals and drives.
So the building obviously represents
how big your goals are to you.
- Both our buildings were pretty large, right?
- Yeah. - The main character
is going to have a ridiculously huge building.
This is why I leaned towards David being the main character.
Just because you could not see the top.
- Yeah, I was a bit fuzzy with that.
Cause it was like morphing.
- You're not sure of it.
And you're like, you're not sure of it.
You just further fitted perfectly into that.
So, villain, again, very similar to the main character.
Essence of the building is really going to define
what is the villain energy.
Side character has goals but it's likely going to be like
a medium sized building.
And the npc is probably going to have like a cottage.
The next question was the wall.
Every main character has to have the drive
to reach their goals no matter what.
Interestingly enough, Madz, you threw me for a loop
with this one, you gave a pretty main character answer.
To get past the wall, you're going to do whatever it takes.
So, David, you also took that route.
You were like, I was actually going to do the same thing
but you go and hang out with Madz.
So that was actually more of the love interest answer.
The villain, also main character energy,
probably stabbed the gatekeeper.
Villain energy is do whatever it takes.
The side character is going to need help.
Recruit friends, nothing too drastic
might actually take advantage of the main character
getting through the wall
and then follow through behind them.
- Oh, like the, VidCon party.
- So the next one was the bottles.
The first bottle was the love interest bottle.
The second bottle was actually the villain bottle.
Third bottle, is the npc bottle.
Fourth bottle is the main character bottle.
Which is what David grabbed.
The yellow bottle was a side character answer.
The last question shows how you think about others
and how you address pressure.
So main character, was going to work together with the team
to take down the troll likely
taking on a leadership role to delegate.
Madz, was like, what do you want me to do?
That was your first knee jerk reaction.
David said, well,
what there's people here, what if we all do it.
Love interests, will find the leader
and work with them directly.
Which is kind of what Madz did.
- That was true.
- That's why I categorized you as the love interest.
The villain is going to stop the troll by themselves.
Or more so, the villain is going to use everybody as bait
and let them die.
Side character is going to likely
just be roped into whatever.
An npc is like, I don't really want to fight, I'm good.
So, that's why I categorized you
the way I categorized you guys.
- That was good.
- Congratulations.
- Interesting, yeah.
- That was good, yeah.
- Little do you know I'm the villain all along.
- What? - I've killed everybody.
You keep in mind if you did get villain, all villains
could be the main character in a different timeline.
It's all about what you see
with the answers put in front of you.
Even if you're an npc,
you are making the world around you function
and making the world better.
And you can be your best self, good job team.
(Crystal clapping)
