Hey look, I'm doing a meme!
PICK 1 OF MY RP CHARACTERS & I WILL TELL YOU:

1. why I played this character.
2. my favourite moment in the game for this character
3. my favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
4. something about this character which makes me laugh.
5. something about this character which makes me cry.
6. one of your characters that I think would get along well with them.

Opening to past and present charries!

Maybe this will kick my ass into a little more productivity since I've gotten sudden inspiration for new holds and new charries.

	ALIYAH. Every time I write her name I have to triple check it becuase i just can't seem to get the letters in the right order. (This coming from someone with a 'CS' comination in her surname idek.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

1. Jamie brought in Ashanti and as I was reading her bio something just clicked and I went ‘Twin? She has a twin? Are there any specific plans for this twin?’ And there were not, so I jumped on that! Also, I had been wanting to play a character with powers that were completely combat useless, possibly largely useless, period, but that they were so perfectly matched for them they would sort of end up thinking they were the Best. Thing. Ever.
2. She so has not done much but I think in general, her organizing the mural. Aliyah so wants it to be her way of leaving some sort of mark on the school or making a noticeable contribution. And she really does want everyone to contribute to it so it’s like an artistic snapshot of the year, the semester, whatever, and everyone who was there during it.
3. She usually goes into the city to pick up more weed once a week. Her dealer is a cool guy who grows weed in addition to organic vegetables in an urban garden on the rooftop of his brownstone. A few of his neighbors pitch in and they all split the profits from the farmers market and the weed sales. Their butternut squash is to die for. It’s a nice little community thing, and one of the guys who lives in the building is the one whose tattoo parlor she’s going to start shadowing in.
4. The fact that her use of slang, netspeak, how heavily she uses either one, and her general pattern of speech waver slightly according to how high she is at any given moment. ~~Also because her player is lazy and sometimes inconsistent, but we’re blaming it on the weed~~ Also, how much her weed consumption has increased since coming to the school. She really was just a casual smoker back home, but now is pretty much never sober anymore.
5. How much of her own potential she has and is wasting. She has such a massive heap of talent when it comes to things artistic and creative and she could be so successful with any number of things if she just wasn’t so damn apathetic.
6. Noah, obviously! Seriously, if she could miniaturize Noah and carry him around in her pocket all the time, she would. That dude is a riot.

1. She was my contribution to the bomb plot! I picked Kat Grahm because she’s seriously freaking gorgeous and was like ‘lol the game needs more diversity’ completely forgetting that she was going to end up related to Sal. And then p much went ‘lol I’m not changing it WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.’
2. There are so many epic moments where she’s been flipping out/freaking out, but this one where she’s freaking out about the multitude of gayness in the bomb group and then suddenly decided ‘fuck it I’m going to Mexico next week, idec anymore, PEACE OUT’ never fails to make me lol
3. Her lifelong affection for Eeyore. Hezy and I are working on a log where this comes up, but he’s her favorite cartoon character ever and she has a stuffed one she keeps hidden in her room now. Back home when she got old enough to tell her parents how she wanted her room decorated she picked him and it ended up looking like a Disney store that only specialized in the little donkey. Eventually her parents decided it was time to change her room again and all her Eeyore stuff disappeared, including one that she’d been carrying everywhere for so long it was starting to get ratty. She flipped the fuck out a little but her parents told her he’d ‘gotten lost’ in the change around and placated her with new things. Soon after that was one of the few recitals her parents actually went to, and Rose pretty much hijacked the whole thing, threw and EPIC tantrum in the wings and refused to cooperate at all until they promised Eeyore would ‘find his way home’ again. Her parents were so appalled and horrified that some poor assistant or something had to be sent out to get her a new one right then. And when she got home her old one was waiting for her on her bed, completely clashing with everything else in the room. After that they gave up on the Eeyore tip and she’s never stopped liking him. She even made Magda go see the Pooh movie with her when it came out the other year.
4. Her complete unwillingness to change her views or point of view, because it results in such ridiculous and lolarious and hypocritical behavior.
5. Her complete unwillingness to change her views or point of view, because it means she’s the primary source of her own unhappiness and her issues are so deep seated it’s going to take forever to even start dealing with them properly.
6. Lauryn, if she weren’t so detached and damaged. Or if she didn’t have a sob story that so completely trumps anything that’s happened to her. She actually thinks Danny is sort of ok. He’s cute but ugh younger guys are such a waste of time. Plus he has the annoying mother and little sister accessories.

	I'm so glad you didn't change her PB for the plot!!! It's been so great! XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	XD! I love how she and Sal are the most chronically dysfunctional siblings ever. I sort of wonder if they're ever going to realize how alike they are and that's where a lot of the trouble comes in. (Reply to this) (Parent)

1. I was trying to figure out what to do in the AoA group besides bringing back Sam and then it hit me how badass and usefull a dragon morph would be in a war torn apocalyptic setting, especially if her mutation had been changed to where she could change at will. So it was like DONE.
2. The end of this thread from the Mojo plot with her diving into a crack in the ground to grab Ali and then scaling the side of it back up the surface before crashing into the building to grab Luce and Sharon all ‘sup, bitches? Time to blow this joint’
3. Back home Vange carried a little hoarding bag filled with whatever things she was currently obsessively in ‘MINE’ mode about. When her collection got too big or she found something she wanted that was too big, she’d hide it or bury some of it before moving on. So in AoA there are random little pockets of ‘treasure’ she’s left behind all over the place.
4. All of her poking at the other shifters comes from equal parts wanting to help, doing/saying what she honestly thinks is best for them, enjoying being the one who gets to fuck with everyone, and being Coco McFreakingloco. And not to mention the ways in which being Coco McFreakingloco affects everything else on the list. Her insane killer dragon logic is the best.
5. Most of the time there really is no recognition or realization that she used to be a little girl and not a hatchling. Every now and then she remembers and it disturbs her to no end. She has effectively blocked out the earlier years of her life because it’s easier to deal with the fact that she IS a bloodthirsty monster and has always been than the fact that she used to be something else and got turned into a bloodthirsty monster.
6. Um, none? >_> She sort of just wants to crush their heads or bite/chase them. She thought Sal was interesting for a while because of the crocodile DNA but he’s too noisy and disruptive for any sort of fascination to last.

1. I knew Ash wanted a friend of Finn’s to come in and be the director to his tech director, and I’d been wanting to use Kat Von D as a pb, so I ran with both. Then came the figuring out how someone like her might fit into Hollywood and I ended up with stuntwoman, then came the shifting that to director somehow and out of it came Leona!
2. I think her and Ryder and their hero moment, even if we didn’t get to play it all out.
3. There are so many tiny bits I love that haven’t made it in game yet: She misses her coven in LA so bad sometimes, her favorite job ever was working on Kill Bill- Master Woo Ping don’t play yo, when getting a cover up of the name tattoo of her first serious boyfriend, she seriously contemplated just having them change the pretty script that said ‘Rod’ into angry graffiti letters of ‘ROD SUCKS’. She was 17, give her a break
4. That she gets equal amounts of enjoyment/fulfillment out of organizing a field trip to see a musical and organizing a field trip to go skydiving.
5. The project she bowed out of before coming to Xavier’s ended up being a box office smash even though critics hasted it. So it’s very like she would probably be an up and coming director on Hollywood’s ‘it’ list if she’d have stuck with it instead of ragequitting.
6. Ivy! She so needs to do more bonding on the staff tip, omg. Also, Ryder! They definitely have the thrill seeking adrenaline junkie thing in common. And she is used to dealing with egotistical Hollywood types so she sort of just finds him a little lolarious and refuses to take him seriously but thinks he is probably a good guy underneath all that somewhere.

1. Taking into account my track record of sucking at playing guys, I was trying to come up with one that I might have a better chance of pulling off and it was like ‘country hick? THAT I CAN DO!’- sort of lol
2. I am so too lazy to go look for the log now (and I think it slightly predates the evo move to ij so it’s probably not there anyway? >_>) but it’s his log with Jay during the Christmas he was home that everything went down with the Cabots. He has to keep Jay from trying to kill himself again and calm him down so he can take him back home like he promised their mother he would. There’s so much angst and sibling affection and SO MANY FEELINGS ugh.
3.His secret love of scifi and the fact that he’s read every single Dune novel he’s been able to get his hands on- even the shittier new ones now that Herbert’s kids are writing them.
4. His sometimes ridiculous vernacular, which I will admit I often completely pull out of my ass. But as long as I can picture someone I know back home actually saying it, I just let it roll.
5. If he could remember the circumstances of why he was so happy during the illusion it would seriously break him. Both of the Guthrie parents were alive, his brothers and sisters were all happy and well-adjusted, Jay was content and married instead of being an emo messpot. He wants things to be better for all of them so badly, not because it will alleviate some of his guilt for leaving home the way he did, but because of what it would mean for them. He wants all of them to be happy and ok so badly and the fact that there is nothing he can ever do to make that be true seriously haunts him.
6. lol, Abby, her der. And Rahne as well.
