OOC: Linkdrop Bandwagon! The Mini-Variety!

Aug 26, 2009 22:52

Normally, I would be writing extensive rambly bits and matching them up, but I have a headache and a bandwagon to hop on, so it's bulletpoints for you!


Jak: Mute Adrenaline-Junkie Elfboy (unborn_renegade)

The new boy! From the game Jak & Daxter.

* Is essentially human but for the gravity-defying hair and the... equally gravity-defying elf-ears.
* Well, except for his ability to channel eco, his universe's version of life energy, which allows him to move faster, hit harder, shoot fireballs, and at one point in his canon, fly and turn invisible and any number of things. Obviously, there's no eco lying around Fandom, so the point is pretty much moot.
* Has a best friend who was once a buck-toothed redhead. Said best friend is now a short half-otter half-weasel creature. This is Jak's fault. Being Jak's friend can be a little... hazardous.
* Does not talk. Well, he can say his name, and in his pinch he can manage a few words, but he's so used to never getting a word in edgewise that most of the time he's not even going to try. I'm going to try to elaborate through narrative to get his point across anyway.
* Mindreaders: he has thoughts. They can be read. He might actually be grateful for it.
* Is sixteen, danger-prone, hopped up on I'm-a-hero-juice, addicted to adrenaline, fresh-faced, naive, and liable to drag you off into trouble if you let him. Beware.
* Is from a town called Sandover which rests on the beach of his world. Their technology is a weird blend of steampunk and tribal, but it works for them.
* Is ever screamingly lovingly watched over by Samos, the Green Eco Sage, who has TOLD him SEVERAL TIMES NOW that it would NOT BE A GOOD IDEA to go to MISTY ISLAND!! BUT DOES ANYONE EVER LISTEN TO HIM? NO!
* Nearly made out with his best female friend, Keira, back home, but it never quite went anywhere.

Prince Arthur Pendragon: The Once And Future Jackass

* Is a massive, massive, massive arrogant bitch. So, um, what he says is not what I'm thinking, and if at any time it goes into territories you'd rather not see it go, just contact me and we'll figure something out.
* Is also probably one of the most decent guys you'll ever meet at heart, but don't say that to his face.
* Is that Arthur, yes, and can be recognised as such by anyone who knows Arthurian legend or has encountered Arthurian figures in their canon (although in the latter case, I would appreciate knowing! As would my canonmates, probably). However, his canon has significant differences from legend as it is generally known. Arthur was raised (and badly) by his father, King Uther; England is made up of a myriad of tiny kingdoms and Camelot is but one among the many; magic is considered evil by Uther and has been banished from the land on penalty of death at the stake. Yeah. Oh, and then there's the fact that Guinevere is merely Morgana's handmaiden and Merlin is a teenage boy who's Arthur's manservant, la la la. Obviously, if you assault him with Arthurian legend, he will Eye you.
* Relatedly, has massive daddy issues and weirdly low self-esteem in several ways. Despite the raging ego.
* Might kind of sort of yeah okay totally and admitted it have a thing for bigdamndestiny, although that's hardly common knowledge. This is further complicated by the fact that Merlin is dating thatsamilkshake who's happily not dealing with the fact that she may or may not be in love with thismaskiwear. We call it the clusterfuck, yo.
* Runs the Fandom Fighting Reserve with the help of future_sandworm and puppy_fair. Takes this very, very seriously.
* Snaps back when poked. Approach with caution.

Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin: Already An Xenocide, Not Yet A Speaker

* Comes from a culture of severe restrictions in terms of religion and even the amount of children any family can have. He was especially requested by the world's military in the hopes that he would grow up to be the greatest military tactician of his generation. He did. The world's military promptly used it to manipulate him into destroying an entire alien species.
* Massive issues with manipulation? Ender? The military only did their absolute best to make him paranoid, withdrawn, cautious, angry, and utterly lethal. As evidenced by the fact that he killed two kids with his own bare hands.
* He killed the first kid before any of the manipulation.
* He abhors conflict and will avoid and deflect anything like it, as well as anything pertaining to his past.
* Works at Stark Industries. Is BFFs with momslilassassin and reasonably close to glacial_witch - for as much as he ever gets close to anyone.
* Currently has his sister, Valentine (a_demosthenes) with him on the island. She's also a student. Their relationship is... complicated. His brother Peter is back on Earth. Which he's trying to conquer amidst massive international conflicts.
* The Wiggin family is kind of special, yes.
* Does not deal well with being touched.

I may or may not cover my adults later. Boom-chaka.

ETA:
Me!

* Answers to Len. And nothing else. Hos.
* Is excrutiatingly Dutch and will not fail to point this out at any opportunity. This means I inhabit the magical and only true timezone, CET.
* Is a FUCKING JOURNALIST. Or, well, is in FUCKING JOURNALIST school. Shut up, same diff.
* Is one of those adminly types. Hi!
* Can be found on ScaryWlsh, ShootingUnicorns, and prince.of.bitca@gmail.com or PM.
