What, already? It's barely been five days.
Don't look at me, man; your clamoring public demands answers to their hot, burning questions!
... Did you have to say it like that?
Yes. Yes, I did. Now listen up, peeps, 'cause I'ma only type this once...
Oh, God...
Same routine as last time, folks! Ask whatever questions pop into your head, whether it be about advice for your personal life, a prediction for the future, or questions about the Wizard's--
No! No more dredging up the past! I left it buried for a reason, 42!
Yeah, I know; I made you. Look, just ask this guy whatever you want; I'll make sure he doesn't go Vengeful God on us.

Dear Wizard...
What do you plan on doing with the world after you become its king?

Dear Wizard... What do you plan on doing with the world after you become its king? King? Nothing so egotistical, my invisible friend. I will simple be the Wizard-- no title, no crown, no throne. I will spend my time occupied with the workings of the multiverse.
The world? It will become clean-- simple, fair, and just, unlike the world as it currently is. Everyone will be the same-- nobody will envy their neighbor for any reason. People will live, breathe, work, and die; no strife, turmoil, or sadness.
People will look the same, think the same, dress the same-- because one person will be behind their every thought: Me. And it will run forever-- a cosmic clockwork for all eternity.That wasn't an especially funny answer.You created me; maybe you're not especially funny.... Ouch.

My OC's hate me
I don't blame them
But that's irrelevant.
Anywho, what's your opinion on what happens to the characters once their creator dies?

The fact of the matter is, we are fiction: fiction is information. Even if the creator dies, that information remains somewhere in the world.
We exist even when our creators are not looking at us. What are your characters doing right now; the ones you're not bothering to play with? Unless you write it down, it's nothing concrete; so it's up to the character to make their own decisions.
William Shakespear died long ago, but people constantly make new adaptations of his work. Heck, there's even fan fiction about his works. The characters always exist as long as someone knows about them. They fill in the gaps-- what's a character in a newspaper comic doing between strips?
Up to the reader, my dear; up to the reader.

Mr. Wizard, have you ever loved? :3 Or are you too busy trying to replicate the plans of everyone on this page to bother about such things?

Mr. Wizard, have you ever loved? :3 Or are you too busy trying to replicate the plans of everyone on this page to bother about such things? ... My god. Kinfolk. I should thank you, dear reader, for introducing me to possible allies. Even if you did use SCP-4445 to do it. Don't start that! Just answer the God-damned Bat-man question!Fine. Of course I've never loved. I'm a cold, heartless world-conquerer with no interest in life anywhere.Well, that's how you started...Shut up. If that's what everyone thinks about me, why not fan the flames? Answer me that, creator; isn't it in your best interest to give your public what they want? What they want is a villain, 42; no sympathy, no backstory. A villain, through and through.
...
Love, though; I supposed I've loved. Hasn't everyone? Our parents, our siblings. Pity the child who grows up with nobody around him to love. That child can grow into someone with nothing but a false-love in his heart, all because you took the one thing precious to him away.Do you need a moment, Mr. Emotionless?... I don't feel anything; merely the illusion of emotion brought on to provoke sympathy.
Love, though... I wonder if I should have saved her? Would things be any different? Would I have had a friendly hand to hold on my journeys? I doubt it would have made much difference in the end.
She'd have hated me, anyway.

Awww, Wizard...
What if we DO want a backstory? I mean, yeah, at first, I figured you as a pure entity of evil, but after learning a few of your secrets, including your identity, makes me all the more interested.

Have you so quickly forgotten what I've tried to do? Or perhaps you're taking a lesson from someone and learning not to take thins personally.
Regardless, I suppose you do deserve a backstory, don't you? But that's not my job. 42...?Oh! Er, uh...Of course. You see, dear, dear 42 has no definite outline for mine and Trump's backstory; simply vague ideas. Which makes it all the more frustrating, considering he could just ask me...Hey! Count yourself lucky you're even talking to me at all! How many fictional characters get to talk to their creators?One over Zero....
*sniffle* It ended so soon...How could I possible be created by this idiot? I ask you, is it fair? Fair that he created me simply as a means to give someone else a happy ending? Simply as an antagonist, no clear background as of yet? No.
