Question Meme (DW Version)

[nolongerslate]

Basically for new folks, this is how this works. Ask me a question about my characters. I'll ask one back about yours. Keep going until we're bored. (Note: you may have to remind me who you play

Thusia
Zelgadis Graywords, formerly of Vulpecula of Sabra La Tau (nolongerslate)

Entanglement
Ai Tanabe (allmylove_inspace)
Georgia Carolyn Mason(truthaftertheend)
Hectocommander borl Paryunu Abriel nei Dobrusk Lafiel (prideofabh)*

Also an IJ version -- or ask about those characters (Tazendra Lavode, Akin Iyapo Shin Kaalnikanjlo, Ermillina Curtana aka Snow White**, Tailmon, Marla Mason) here.

* Aside: Tazendra recited her titles, some of Aerich's, and three other people before she realized she didn't know everyone she was wishing back to life, and said so. Ptou (formerly Messenger, a god of Sabra La Tau) commented how fancy the names were. Dragaerans have nothing on Abh, despite both being genetically engineered elves.

** I may have a problem with characters with exceedingly long names. Send help.

It doesn't bother her, because honestly, the SOMUCHWHITE was a little daunting. And, besides Kazu and Stephan, she didn't know any of these people. But knowing that Stephan had someone on Lacerta made her feel good; he was going home with someone who loved him. And Merry has such a soft spot for friends/family/lovers*. Having Dean to take Jimmy/Castiel (and presumably one of the AG characters took Kazu) meant she knew those people would go home with their family/friends.

And, well, if Dani or Talia** were at Sabra, she'd want them to take care of her.

So, how is Thusia?

* Honestly, she wouldn't think about it like that. Snow is canonly pretty dense about same-sex attraction -- her best friend was crushing on her for years and Snow was clueless until it was outright said. Snow even reflects that if Talia had been male or acting like that towards a man, Snow would have picked up on it like that.

** Dani would have been a Lacerta or a Pavo; Talia probably Hydra or Orion. True story, I first thought of apping Talia, but any mysterious being who asked for her help in exchange for a wish would be thrown out the nearest window. If they were not stabbed first. Which is a good thing, as I might have considered from the same set of PBs as I eventually used for Tazendra. (Both are exceedingly attractive women; Talia is Middle Eastern and I wanted a South Asian PB for Tazendra (who was described in canon as having dark skin -- I know Bones uses an African PB for her). Both also needed a PB who had done some action-y movies for fight icons.)

I love Thusia, but Senji makes things difficult. He doesn't form personal connections easily and doesn't even try to get along with most people, so it's... rocky sometimes. It's like... the mingle posts go up, and I'll look through them only to realize that he wouldn't go talk to anyone anyway and then just... throw my hands up in exasperation with him. I had this same problem at CFUD with him honestly. Dealing with people who are... normal... is difficult for him. Surprisingly, he has met a couple of people that he doesn't completely close off to which is... helpful. They managed to hit the right chords with him somehow.

Most of the time though, he's out in the hallways looking for things to kill or recovering from injuries. Not the most social creature ever by any means.


Do you have any app plans?

[nolongerslate]

Ah. I sometimes have that problem with Zel; canon + Sabra really hit him hard in the 'sometimes you gotta work as a team when things get sticky', so he's a lot better as Zel of Vupecula than he would be if I went straight canon.

I have ALL THE APP PLANS. The problem is finding out who/what to app and making sure they don't step on Zel's toes in 'too many characters like him'.

First I am going to app an OC, and the main problem is which of the contenders. It's hard, since... well, I can't babble about them to people and expect to be understood, except maybe by Excel and Daisy. But I have several tabletop RPG characters* and a webcomic that died when I went to grad school and is now kind of '... man, I was embarrassing when I was younger'.

Other than that, a bunch of us were talking about playing Dragaeran characters on Thusia. I'd probably not app Tazendra**, since I need a break to make sure I have the canon version unentangled from Honor and the Sabra version got the Happiest Good End, so like hell I'll take that away from her. There are a couple others from that canon: one of the villains (Grita, who was the one who killed Tazendra and Aerich and would probably hate Honor even worse than her canonical self***) and Daro (minor character, gets a cool 'speak truth to the Emperor's wife' moment and 'save then-boyfriend from assassins' moment, then hovers in the background until the newest book). Or Teldra or Sara (both in the House of More Charisma than Anyone Should Have and genuinely nice people). Grita and Teldra get an edge, since both are canonically dead (though Teldra's soul was bound into a magic sword to keep it from being eaten), so I'd feel less bad about it. Or, hell, the current Empress (from a future after she abdicates)... (there are too many characters from this canon that I like).

Also, I'd like to play a real hippie character like Nausicaa, but I want to wait until she has some breathing room/plot has developed so she has more of a chance to find a third path. And I need to get that movie again (or reread the manga). or a Zelda character or Earthbound.

... You see my problem.

So, what about you?

* It would be a lot easier if I ever played Exalted, since Kidale is from the comic version of that setting.

** This may be a lie, but I suspect if I did app her it would either be a total AU or it would be Honor, but several millennia down the line when all of her non-sorcerer friends are dead (and she still is perfectly fine, being a wizard) and she's been doing increasingly audacious things for thrills.

*** Not only 'how dare you come back to life', but Aerich basically made a wish that meant that all the bullshit she put up with because her parents were from different Houses would never happen again, and she's kind of spiteful because it was people she loathes who did this.
