DE: It'll be worth something someday

[bjornwilde]

 What does your character collect? Is it a conscious collection or did they just end up with whatever it is? How do they feel about this collection? Is there something they wish they could collect but can't?

Ellen collects the weapons, ammo and armor of everyone who has ever tried to kill her and not had the sense to surrender or run away. There are a lot of these.

(She does sell the stuff off when she can, because otherwise the house would get kind of creepy, but still.)

Kirk collects antiques. Old books, old guns, old miniature ships...pretty much anything he can get his hands on from the 19th century that doesn't take up too much space. It's never spelled out, but I suspect he's got a lot of Lincoln memorabilia. I bet he's got original screenplays from a few of the many movies about Lincoln, maybe with autographs. (He has little idea about Kushner's plays or Spielberg's films, but he has that script.)

Knox keeps old newspapers. He's got one from the day he was born, a few from the moon landing, a couple from Nixon's resignation, and so on. He laments the inevitable end of print since you probably won't keep screengrabs of news websites. He also has some old baseball cards. His favorite is a 1963 Willie Mays for some reason.

Somewhere in a hangar in the San Fernando Valley, Howard Stark has twelve vintage planes, including an original Stark Flier his grandfather built in 1913. I suspect as years go along, he'll add to the collection, and I suspect that after he dies, Tony lets it molder.

Cy has a huge stack of collectible game cards from a number of games.

Gibbs never collected anything, since pirates tend to be mobile and never hold onto anything valuable for long. Charlie never got into collections of any sort.

Twilight has every single Doctor Whooves comic ever published.

Jess collects regrets...OK, in a less snarky vein, she collects restaurants and friends/contacts.

Hank collects music. He has an amazing collection which is currently being used in the relaxation lounge at Division X. He also has a lot of golden age comics and science fiction paperbacks, though those aren't so much an intended collection.

Andrea collects firearms, bows, and crossbows. She also collects the ammunition for them.

Brimstone collects myths. I'd say teeth but that is his work.

Isabella collect sparklings at the moment. Later she will collect books about dragons and then start writing her own as misinformation is so prevalent.

Mulan collects teas. She doesn't have much room to carry things, so her collection isn't very large and tends to get drunk, but she always is looking for new blends.

Quin...I have no idea. Information maybe? Actually I can see him keeping an eye out for toys or little things for his wife.

Amascut doesn't have a collection so much as a store of bones. She keeps them for their spiritual power, just in case. They are not just human bones either. Any sentient species will do.

Fairy Fixit has a backup reserve of teeth but that is for work and art projects, and also maybe as a retirement fund. But she also collects fungus spores that she has found on other worlds, plus some from species the grow on Zanaris and Gielinor. That is mostly for herself but part of it might be a desire to start a doomsday spore vault.

Evil Chicken is friends with various dragons and like them has treasure hoards. One is in his room at Milliways. At least one pile up there is a bunch of apples that refuse to rot.

Supernatural creatures?

Tacky graphic tees (e.g. "I support single moms")

Mark collects comics, Science Dog to be particular. He also collects zombie films.

I would say that Invincible collects enemies, but he really doesn't. It's more quality (or endurance) over quantity.

Murderers.

Clem: Collects black velvet portraits of herself, fantasy art, and glass waterpipes. This is canon.

Dix: Collects diamonds. You'd better believe she does.

Juliet: Still has her old collection of stuffed animals from when she was little.

Pinkie: Cookie cutters and jello-molds; and rubber balls. Pinkie's more of a packrat than a collector.

Eponine: Has no money or opportunity to collect anything, before she would collect dolls.
