Characterisation meme

[fan_elune]

Gakked from the_grynne and shadesofbrixton:

Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately. This includes both original characters, characters I RP and characters about whom I write fanfic.

Well, Wat, naturally.

1 - Actions Speak Louder Than Words. This is, essentially, the key to writing him for me, especially writing him off of Geoff, but it also works with anybody else. Wat cannot use words. Words usually get the best of him

[yoritomo_reiko]

Hmm. Who to choose, who to choose.

Stuart! (Vae can have Mid.)

[fan_elune]

...I kinda have to ask which Stuart in case you mean QaF's. You never know!

[yoritomo_reiko]

I didn't realize you played the QaF one? So SS!Stuart.

[fan_elune]

I don't play him, but I occasionally fic him. SS!Stuart it is!

1 - Darling. It might sound stupid, but the only reason Stuart exists is because of James Callis's "The Wolf" character in Sex, Chips and Rock'n'roll, and the Wolf's many "darling"s stuck around. They're a big part of what kind of Englishman Stuart is.

2 - Addict. Stuart is not a healthy person at all. He smokes, he drinks, he occasionally does drugs, sure. But mostly it's his addiction to art that is most troubling. It takes him over for hours at a time and makes the outside world fade away. Art matters more to him than anything else.

3 - Wilde. In case it wasn't strikingly obvious already, he is a fan of Wildeisms. It is one of his most refined defense mechanisms.

4 - Privacy. After a year spent in Boulder, and all the relationships he has formed, he has still not told anyone about His One Relationship. This is how much he conceals himself.

5 - Hedonism. I think that one speaks for itself.

I kind of want to do 6 and 7 on domination and masochism, but oh well.

TJ, duh. :)

1 - Fun. It's actually the first word that comes to mind when I think of her. She is fun, she likes to have fun, fun is in her life and there's no way she's letting it out of her life, not even when she suddenly finds herself an Exile.

2 - Walls. She has them. She won't let you past them in a hurry. The fun exterior is actually also a barrier.

3 - Belief. She was raised by Nightcrawler and the X-Men. She became an X-man when she was 17. Her sense of right and wrong is strong, and she'll do what it takes; that is her religion. (Sorry, Kurt. Sorry, Wanda.)

4 - Her Type. She tends to be into strong people (both physically and mentally) who nonetheless have self esteem issues, but can oh so well take care of themselves. There needs to be a back-and-forth exchange - they can lean on her, and she can lean on them.

5 - Up In Your Face. As in, she will be if you start telling her what she can and can't do, or are going after one of her friends, or or or. She's not afraid to speak up.

I love this like burning. I can't WAIT for us to play them!

[fan_elune]

HEEEE good. ME NEITHER. I do not have a happy enough icon for this.

[immlass]

We have so few fandoms in common that it's hard for me to pick a character for the meme, so I won't. I popped in to say I miss rping with you.

[fan_elune]

AW. Darling. Your Ange will forever remain in my heart (and Alan's). *many many hugs*

[technosage]

(she could always come play with us... >.>)

[fan_elune]

She could. As in should. She is AMAZING.

[fan_elune]

lol. You could've picked another one

[shadesofbrixton]

Remy is so wronged by not ranking as a top five personality trait in Mid's frontal conscience.

[fan_elune]

*insert more personality traits*

19 - Self Restraint. He didn't kill Remy, and then they became sorta-friends.

HEY, NINETEEN IS GOOD.

*misses their interaction liek whoa*
