Because I horribly misheard a line in a song as "one love left", that got me to thinking about what might happen if one of my characters were told by a soothsayer that they could only love one more time.
What might that knowledge lead my character to do? Would they retreat and never love again, because they couldn't know if that was really, truly their last time? Would they go out into the world and try to find love? Would they do neither, because that's not their way, they are neither miserly with emotions nor overly romantic?
What if they do find the person/entity/thing they're "supposed" to love and those feelings are not reciprocated, does that negate what the soothsayer said? Do they get another shot at it?
What other dilemmas (false or otherwise) do you guys use to get a firmer idea of your character? What questions do you like to ask to try and figure out how romantic/aromantic your characters are?
