nolongerslateBasically 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.

Date: 2012-01-08 09:43 pm (UTC)Oh, I nearly forgot, I nearly apped Ranamon from Digimon Frontier as an Ophi, mostly because having a spoiled idol singer mer-critter who can turn into a horrible squid monster would be amusing.
Merry was also apped as an Ophi right before the character limit changed to permit three blanks. Partially because it was close enough to endgame that I wouldn't have been upset if she perma-died in the rebellion; which I suspected might happen with Judges. Honestly, if it hadn't been for her obvious 'HeyMirrorHeyMirror', I might have left her.
(I'm also sorry I good-ended Marla when I did; she would have been amazing in endgame and I would have liked to scene with her and the Gentleman given her history with Death.)
Also, now I'm sad Tazendra never got a Vlad to meet. Mostly for the potential for LULZ, especially if it was pre-Aerich; Tazendra might have been civil (for her) solely because it took her so long to get a second memory, and, hey, this Easterner knows something of my world, maybe he will tell me.
Favorite godly interactions (Sabra or Thusia)?

Date: 2012-01-08 11:12 pm (UTC)I haven't apped Thusia yet so my exposure is limited.
Sabra:
involving me:
- Chaz and Mirror, all the times, but especially right after Orion Quest.
- Stealing Hydra's dreams was a thing that I didn't expect to turn out like it did, and is to this day, my favorite unintended consequence thing I did as Veiled, mainly because it opened up the association of dreams with Veiled.
- I quite honestly expected Kuchiha to be FOREVER AGAINST gods, and much to my surprise, Messenger got her in the dere.
Not involving me:
- in general, I found storyteller's quests to be kind of hilarious
- Librarian and Cepheus was fun to stalk a lot in general, because it lead to interesting things.
- uhhh gosh I can't decide which one I can pick for a third.
Reverse!

Date: 2012-01-08 11:40 pm (UTC)Sabra:
Involving Mine:
- Tazendra and Haunted, but especially... there was a thread where Tazendra challenged Haunted to a duel, and Haunted noted that she was far happier to leave Tazendra helpless against her while she tormented her friends. [link] Dzurlords and gods of nightmares and fear is a naturally explosive combination.
- Snow and Mirror when Snow first woke up and Mirror was so happy to have a woman on Monoceros and one who was a mirror-mage and such... Snow and Mirror had an interesting relationship, because Snow wanted Mirror's power, but wasn't sure about the whole... well, Mirror is ehtically questionable.
- Zel's recruitment thread with Surgeon, especially since Zel came to loathe Surgeon for dicking around with his form. It was fun going back and having them be cordial; and Surgeon being so straightforward about it.
Not Me:
-- Waterbearer after his bad game and Jace giving back his name and him being all '... you guys ;_;'. I'm sorry we didn't get to do more that that.
-- Surgeon and Mao. My god, every time they were on screen together, it was hilarious. And, well, Surgeon and Lepus in general. Especially since it did give Surgeon a lot more empathy points.
-- Dera and Flowers. Because I never saw it coming.
Man, it was hard to narrow that down.
So... any regrets about things you would have like to have done at Sabra but never got around to?

Date: 2012-01-09 04:39 am (UTC)- Naked metaphorical wandering around with Maya, after a certain key memory. It would have been very ~symbolic~ from a purely canon perspective, but mostly I imagine in Sabra it would have been funny.
- super sad I never did a Kuchiha heart game, because her heart would have been fun to plan, because she has so much weird shit in there. ALAS.
- more stuff with Veiled and or the Dude, but since I wasn't in charge of their endings due to things I would feel a little weird about apping them elsewhere at this time, but who knows, man
- I kind of would have adored to have Chaz and Mami on the same team. He would have loved Mami, and she would have broken his heart so hard.
- More Old!Sabra Charlie! Actually this is more of a thing I am thinking of fuffiling in Thusia, I found a movie that Charlie's PB just did that looks right and some other icon sources, so I think he might be my first Sabraen to go.
- I wish I had apped Kariya later in the cycle, because then he would have been on the competing teams, and he would have really thrived more, but I was so burnt out on him when they came around. I did thoroughly enjoy the trollier threads and Marla's threads with him, though, so I don't think that was entirely a failure.
Reverse?

Date: 2012-01-10 12:48 am (UTC)-- Either apped Merry earlier or apped another character -- a lot of Merry's development was squished by
-- Akin nightmare game. Mostly I wanted to have a lot of non-Canises decide that Akin was out to get them by showing how creepy the Oankali could be. And doing something more psychological would have been fun, since a lot of the nightmares were bloody. Understandable, due to Sabra trauma, but...
-- Play more with Tazendra's developed fear of being controlled. Or hell, I'm sad Tazendra and Queen never got to meet until the final battle, because Queen and Soldier both hit a lot of Tazendra's pings, and yet she had her own personal honor which reshaped her self-indulgent and violent impulses into something that passed for civilized*.
-- Actually played a Judge.
Thoughts on the Sabra setup itself -- what worked and what didn't work for you?
* Granted, a lot of Dragaeran society is structured so a lot of the Houses can be themselves without imploding the Empire.
